Fingers brttisod, ami broken toys; Wishing to be older, larger. Weeping at some fancied woe, Oh, the happy, hapless children, Still they come, and sfill they go. All the world is full of lovers, Walking slowly, whispering sweet; Dreaming dreams and building castles, That must crumble at their feet. Breaking vow?, and burnine letters, Smilling, lest the world shall know, Oh, the foolish, trusting lovers Still they come, and still they go. All the world is full of people, Hurrying, rushing, pushing bv. Bearing burdens, carrying crosses, Passing onward, with a sigh; Some there are, with smiling faces, But a-ith heavy hearts below, Oh; the sad-eyed, burdened people. How they come and how they go. All the earth is full of corpses; Dust and hones !aid there to rest; This th fjnd that b.ibes and children. Lovers, peop'.e find at best. All their fears, and all their crosses, All their sorows wearing so. Oh, the silent, happy corpses. Sleeping soundly, lyiti low. ODD IV O MUX. Miss Biffin was born without nrma and hands t'owai-d tbe end of the last century ; ; yet she ean ed an honest living for herself ; by means of her toes and two little stumps where arras ought to have been. She cut out paper profiles, and painted miuiatures, in an old, but most ingenious way, by the aid of her stumps and toes. After exhibiting at Bartholomew and other faii-s, she was employed by the Earl of Morton to paint hU miniature ; nd the picture when finished was shown to George the- Third. The monarch enabled her to receive further lesonsin drawing and paint ing from Mr. Ciaig; and then she earned a livelihood for many jeirs by aid of the pen and pencil, helped out by a small pent-ion ; she abandoned caravan life at fairs, and was semi-professional at her own house. She fell if. love with somebody, or somebody with her, and married ; but the world still knew her a Mis Lifti'i, and under this name she died about a quarter of a century ago. Another lady, who in early age exhibited for money, was Miss ILtwlin, born so com pletely without arms that she had not even slumps, ahd was in that respect worae off than Miss Biran. Dressed ncatlv. with i powdered hair suitable to tbe days of old i Queen Charlotte, she sat on a table, her ! naked feet visible beneath frilled trowers; j with her toes she managed to cut out watch-papers, grasping and working the j scissors in some inexplicable way; and ' still more remarkable used needle and thread for sewing and stitching. Bearded women are more odd than lova ble; tliet o li-webten some such to astonish the world. There was one Battel Graelje, in the sixteenth century, of whom a por trait exists in the Stnrgaidt gallery, rep resenting her as a young woman of about five and twenty, with a very large beard. Still more remarkable was Baibara Ursict in, the '"hairy faced woman of Aughsbuig," about forty years later. Her face and hands were hairy neatly all over sadly like some specie of monkey; the beard was almost as long and spreading as tho hair of her head. This hirsute lady was not doomed to siugle blessedness; for one Michael Van beck married her, ani carried her about as a sliow. Two engraved por traits of her are extant, and there is no reason to doubt the veritabihty of tho phe nomenon. What are we to say of pig-faced ladies? There have been claims for niany, but tho j search for their authenticity seems to have ! been as uncertain as Mr. Thorn's search for reliable evidence concerning the alleged age of old Parr and Henry Jenkins. j Our narrative tells that a newly married lady of rauk and fortune, being annoyed by the importunities of a wretched beggar woman, who was cat t ying a dit ty, squalling I child, exclaimed, "Take away your nasty ! pig; I shall not give you anything." j Witeretipon the ittoensed beggar retorted : . 'May your o?rn child, when it is born, be i moie like a pig than miner' Alas! tho lady' child camo into the world with a pig's face ; grew np to be a woman, beau- tiful in form all except tho face, but hog- j gish in feeding and manners, and lived and died in a hospital founded and maintained by Iter wealthy parents. Equally veracious, wo suppose, was the story of a - Belgian gentleman who re nounced the church and embraced Judaism, the first child born to him afterward had a , pig's face ; bnt in later .years, when the J fat Iter recanted and the daughter was bap- j tized, the face miraculously changed to human form. A third story is of that of Janakin Skin ker, born in Illteusti Holland, in 1618, well proportioned in form else, but pig-faced, and having no other power of language than a grunt. She, or her parents, offered I forty thousand pounds to any gentleman who would marry ier. Many gallants came, but one and all begged to decline when they had seen her. Unfortunately, two printed pamphlets exist, one in Eng lish and tbe o'Jier iu Dutch, each a coun terpart of the other ; but whereas in one WHOM THE TRUTH MAKES FREE, AND ALL she is said to have been born in Wickham on the Rhine, the other assigns Windsor on the Thames as her birth place ; aud we may not unwisely disbelieve them both. A fourth story has its era sixty years ago, when a shilling pamphlet gave a por trait and acconnt of a pig-faced lady, resid ing in stylo at the west end of London beautiful in all respects except the facial peculiarity. Her female servant could not be per suaded to sleep with her even by the tempta tion of a thousand guineas a year. That this catch pennyor catch-shilling was really credited by some silly persons, we have evidence iu two veritable advertisements. One inset ted in the London Times, of Feb ruary 9, 1813, stated that "A young gen tleman having heard of an advertisement j for a person to take care of a lady who U j sorely afflicted iu the face, and whose friends have offered a handsome income yearly, and a premium for residing with her seven years, would do all in his power to make her life comfortable. An undeni able character can be obtained from a re spectable circle of friends. An answer to this advertisement is requested, as the ad vertiser will keep himrself disengaged." The other one, inserted in the Morning Herald on the sixteenth of tho same month, is to the effect that "A single gentleman, aged thirty-one, of a respectaWo family, and in whom tho utmost confidence may bo reposed, is desirous of explaining his mind to the friends of a person who has a misfortune in her face, but is prevented for want of an introduction. Beinrr nr- 0 x , fectly aware of the principal particulars ! and understanding that a final settlement j would be preferrod to a temporary on , j presumes he would be found to answer the ' lull exteut of their wishes. His intentions ate sincere, honorable and firmly leso ve i References of great respectability can be given." Thcso two persons gave their addresses, tho one in Judd street, the other in Great j Oimond street, London. , Our pig-faced ladies are not even yet : exhausted. Another narrative of the kind is of Dublin origin, and relates to a Miss Stevens, who was said to be t ig-faced, ; somewhere in tho early part of the present century. Her portrait and a silvet trough, out of which she took her meals. f-n . announced for exhibition. Dublin believed j the story for many years ; but the believers believed on the faith of those who told ; them. The reader has undoubtedly Ute ' privilege of deciding for himself whether or not to accept any of these stoi ies. Mean 1 while a heartless writer has revealed the fact that one, at least, of the pig-faced ladies exhibited at fairs was a bear shaved, ringleted and elegantly bonnetted ; tied upright in a large arm chair, and having a shawl aud skirt to conceal her body. Affecting Incidents. Mrs. Christiue Toe i is, the only lady saved from the Schiller, having it-covered somewhat from the i-hock on bet nervous system, relates to a lady Cdiitsp, indent the following in cidents of Hie shipwreck : Anioug the passengers was a lady who had a beautiful little boy. He was every body's pet on board and would be seen playiug all day long with his mother or other ladies and gentlemen. After the steamer had stiuck the rock that lady, with her boy in hor arms, rushed frantically upon deck, and fell upon her knees before a sailor. "Save me and my child, for God's sake, save us 1 I am rich, itumentely rich save me, and thou shalt be wealthy and without cares forever. I will give thee enough for all thy life. Thou need not be a sailor then only save me and my child." A big wave swept over the deck and car ried away the rich mother, her beautiful child and the poor sailor. Another lady on board had a little girl about three years old, who looked like an angel. The mother being mostly seasick, would not allow anybody to take the child away out of her sight. Many ladies offered to play with the child on deck, but the mother always objected, on the ground that the child might be -hurt or even fall overboard through carelessness or ever- I sight. Her child in the water ! The baie idea would already make her mad. When the catastrophe came the mother rushed on deck with her child on her arm and at once jumped into the sea. The idea of seeing her child in the water had made her mad. Mrs. Toeus furthor said: "We had a great many handsome chil dren on board, whose gayety amused every body, and though childless mjsclf, it al most breaks my heart to think that not one of them has been saved."

THE 3IAN WHO SWORE OFI 1 ne had been in the habit of taking three or four "nips" per day for tbe last fifteen years, but on New Year's morning he arose and said to his wife : "Mary Jane Shiner, here I've been squandering at least a dollar per week for more than a dozen years I" "But I thought you said a glass now and then aided your digestion," she replied. "AH fudge and nonsense," he continued; "that was only an excuse to satisfy my own conscience." "And I've heard you say that it made you sleep better helped you to have a clear head," she said. "Nonsense worst kind of bosh. I've drank up eight hundred dollars in the last dozen years, and it hasn't benefited me one ceut." "Well !" "Well, I'm going to quit. I'm going to commence now. No more dt inks for Shiner after this!" "Good boy noble husband 1" she said, patting him on the chin ; "now you are going to test your stamina !" Shiner felt puffed up with pride for an hour or two, and then began to feel a goneness along down his throat. He drank water, cold coffee and milk, and got through with the day ; although when he went to bed he dreamed that he was a flask of btatidy and that a rcember of Congress was carrying him iu his coal-tail pocket. At midnight he awoke with his thumb in his mouth, just on the pcint of taking a ten-cent drink, and at daylight he inquired of his wife whether it was the year 1875 or 1S7C. That forenoon, while he sat iu his office, a meek looking stranger entered, took a paper from his pocket, and said that ho was soliciting aid for the Kansas grass hopper sufferers. "Giashoppers be hanged!" exclaimed Shiner. 'The next fraud who comes in hero will get his neck broken !" His chief clerk spoke to him about or dering some goods, and he whirled around and said he wouldn't order another dollar's worth of goods in ten years. A young man called to secure a place, and Shiner threw the coal stove shaker and hit him on the ear. When he went to dinner he flattered hinisrjlf a little that he had succeeded in curbing his inclination to drink, and his wife patted him on the shoulder and whis peied : "Samuel, yon have got more stamina than the Czar of Russia 1" Going down again be entered a saloon and asked the saloon keeper if he honestly thought that a moderate amount of brandy would affect the health. The saloon-keeper was sure it wouldn't. The bottles looked good to Shiuer, and there was a pleasaut smell as he leaned over the bar. Whec he reached his office he kicked a chair over, hoisted a spittoon across the room, and sat down and dated a letter 1S77. A lady called to have him subscribe something for a new Sunday School, and he bristled up and yelled : "No, sir, not a rod ! Suuday Schools are killing the business interests of this country !" After about an hour he went out and asked a doctor if three drinks of gin per day would hurt any one. The doctor thought not, if they were light drinks. Returning to tho office, Shiner hunted up an old brandy hot lie, and sat and held it for a long time, and wondered how tlicy were made, and then threw it into the coal box and went out on the street and asked a life insurance agent if two or three drinks a day would hurt a man. "Of course they wouldn't," replied the agent. Going home to supper, Shiner asked three more men, and they all replied, "No." When he reached home, ho said the bis cuits weren't fit for cannibals, gave the girl warning to leave, and called his wife's I a. a . ... urotuer, who was tncre on a visit, a humped-backed, wilful liar. When Shiner went down town in the evening he asked three more doctors if a little brandy was huttfuh Then he went iu'o a saloon and asked for Kon'e pop. He vas a good while in drinking it, and then he asked to look at the label on a brandy bottle. When he had read he looked to see if the cork wns in very tight ; and asked the saloon keeper if he thought brandy would hurt any one. When Shiner leached home that night he threw his wallet at his wife, told the hired girl she might stay there 5,000 years, begged his wife's brother's pardon, and as he turned a handspring in the parlor, he broke out with "So, farewell, Mary Ann. Yen must de the best fon can. Shiner was tight. M. Quad.

In the year 1775 a party of hunters were Bent out from the fort at llarrodsburg and took possession of the north aide of the Kentucky River. Clothed in their quaint pioneer style of buckskin pataloons, deerskin leggings, linsey hunting shirt and pcltiy cap and armed each with a trusty flint-lock rifle, they , toiled through the trackless woods and almost impenetrable cancbrakes in the direction of the future Lexington. On or atout the 6th of June the ap proach of night ended one of their solitary and dangerous marches, and glad to rest, the tired hunters camped on a pot after wards known successively as McConnell's Station. Royal's Springs and the Head ley Distillery property. It is only a few steps from the present "Old Franklin road," and is nearly oposite the beautiful Lexington Cemetery. The spring from which the pioneers drank and watered their horses still exists, with a stream as cool, clear and grateful as then. After posting one of their number on the lookout for the "red-skin varmints," who were ever on the alert to slay the pale-face, the rest seated themselves aronnd a blazing brush heap, on logs, and buffalo hides, and with hungeT for sauce, supped with gusto upon the then inevitable "jerk" and parched corn. While eating their simple meal they talked with enthusiasm of the beautiful country they had just, traveled over, and, surprised and delighted with the prospect about them, they determined that their place of settlement should be around the very spot where they were then en camped. The hunters assisted Wm. McConnell to build a rude little cal in on their camping ground as the foundation for a title, for Virginia, as early as the year 1774, had offered 400 acres of land to each person who cleared a piece of land, built a cabin and raised a crop of Indian corn. The name of the settlement, that was to be, was discussed with animation. One sug gested "York," another "Lancaster." but both were dropped with a shout for "Lex ington !" as the conversation turned to the strange news that had crept slowly through the wilderness, and which, after it had been weeks on the way, they had just heard of, how "King George's trooj, on the 19ih of April, had called Americans 'rebels' and shot them down like dogs at Lexington in Massachusetts colony." The 6tory of Lexington's christening, the historic fact of how she got her name, is as romantic as the legend of the beauti ful Trincess Pocohontas, and is an inci dent far more interesting, because more true than the fabulous one told of the founding of ancient Rome I So the hunters called the new settlement Lexington, in memory of that bloody field, hundreds of miles away, and som s of them soon after joined the continental army and fought long and bravely to avenge the minute men who fell that day. How srrange the story of that pioneer camp ! Here, almost one hundred years ago, when Kentucky was a wilderness ter ritory of the royal province of Virginia j here, far away from civilized life, in the heart of an unbroken forest, at the dead of night, a little band of adventurers erected the first monument ever raised on this continent in honor of the first dead of the revolution. It is true the ceremonies of its dedication were not attended with glittering pomp or show, for the officials were only clad in buckskin and honest homespun, and the music of their choir was naught but the scream of the panther or the far off yell of the savage. But it was consecrated by the strictest virtue and truest patriotism, and nature smiled benig nantly upon it from an Eden of luxuriant beauty. AFTER FOLK CKMUUICS, The four hundredth anniversary of the birth of Michael Angelo, was celebrated at Florence recently by giving to the world the contents of a packet which on hisdexth-bed the sculptor willed to posterity, with the solemn injunction that it should not be opened until March 6, 1875. This packet is said to contain many State papers, secret correspondence with popas, princes, and leading men of Angelo's day; and,t is hinted, sometliing of his correspondence with the MarchesaFescpra. It is said Sir nor Gotti was to publish a new life of Michael Angelo.ia Italian, French, German, and English, which was to appear also on March 6, 1S75. Tne house of Michael An gelo, at Florence, remains ranch as he laft it more than three hundred years since. In the small rooms are pieces of sculpture, artistie designs, and sketches by the distin guished artist, while his dining-room walls are covered with frescoes. One side of the room is devoted to men of science, with Gaiileo and his telescope ; philosophers oe enpy another portion of space. Aristotle and Plato in the foremor t rank ; then come men of the church; and finally poets and romance writers, surrounded by palm trees and fountains. Dante and Petrarch are recognizable, and Savonarola is not forgot ten. Tha books, furniture, pictures statu ettes, etc., with which Michael Angelo adorned his home occupy their original places, while the varied seenes of hi life are represented in pictures by his favorite pupils. A wise man will make more opportunities than he find. 4 Terms, SS per year. In advance. NUMBER 20. HOW A flKtE OF COAL IilKXg. There is nomistakingthe words of a gen uine thinker. His subject may be most diffi cult, but what hejayj is sure to be "un derstandable of all men." No matter what Priestly wrote about, his sentence were trxnspareni ly clear. Franklins English was uniformly direct simple, and precise. Men may quarrel,with Darwin's opinions, but they have themselves alone to blame if they mistake his meaning. Huxley's style of speech and writing is as idiomatic as Mark Twain's. Faraday's lectures conveyed the latest discoveries of Science in sentences which children could comprehend. When our own Professor Young speaks to a popular audience, they wonder how astronomy can be called ab struse ; the exploration of the sun seems as easy as a trip to Jersey. Professor Meyer will illustrate the mysteries of sound or magnetism so simply and clearly that his non-scientific hearers never suspect the ingenuity of his way of putting things, or hew easily a less exact thinker could make a mist of the whole matter. In Professor Barker's hands the spectroscope seems as simple as a child's toy, the analysis of the Universe with it, as intelligible as the ad ventures of Robinson Crusoe ; and Oliver Wendell llr luics will illuminate a social or metaphysical problem so happily that the average reader never dreams how keen is the intellect that sparkles so play fully about it, or how many duller inea have broken their heads over it. But it is needless to multiply examples. The least discerning reader can tell when a man knows what he is writing about, whether he has anything to say, and "What has all this to do with the combus tion of coal ?" Do you ask f Not much directly, we admit. Still it may help us to intimate indirectly the scientific rank of the ambitious author of "The Son and Earth as Forces in Chemistry," a work that aims at nothing less than a revolution in chemical science. This is how coal bums, according to his system : "Carbon combined with cxrgen. leaves its solid shape for a gaseous one forming carbonic anhjdrid gas, and this greatly because of carbon's own heat con stitution ; and further because of the in tense nearness of the oxygen to carbon, and our earth's comparative distance j this because also of the excellent heat ca pacity of oxygen itself ; and thus carbon with oxygen Ljaps up into carbonic anhyd rid gas. earth loosened into the highest sun forms, approaching that of oxygen it self, for the heat capacities of carbon are near those of oxygen ; but the oxy-terrio struggle for carbon is arduous ; ur earth has greatly in her favor her immensity, but then she is far off, and her forces de crease with distance; but even bo, lot freeing carbon from our earth's control, oxygen requires always, as we know, the further assistance of heat on carbon ; we always for oxy-carbonic combination, have to set fire to carbon." Nice and easy, isu't it ? Its a wonder nobody ever thought of it before I THE STINOING TKUE. One of the torments to which the trav eler is subjected in the North Australian scrubs is a stinging tree (urtica gigas), which is very abundant, and ranges in size from a Urge shrub of thirty feet in height to a small plant measuring only a few inches. Its laf is large and peculiar, from being covered with a short, silvery hair, which when shaken, emits a fine, pungent dust, most irritable to the skin and nostrils. If touched it causes most acute pain, which is felt for months afterwards a dull, knawing pain, accom panied Ly a burning sensation, particular ly in the shoulder and under the arm, where small lumps often arise. Even when the stir.g has quite died away, the unwary bushman is forcibly reminded of his indiscretion each time that the affected part is brought into contact with water.' The fruit is of a pink, fleshy color, hang ing in flusters, and fo inviting that a stranger is irresistibly tempted to pluck it ; but seldom more than once, for, though the raspberry like berries are harmless in themselves, some contact with the leaves is almost unavoidable. The blacks are said to eat the fruit, but for this I cannot vouch, thoogh I have tasted one or two at odd times, and found them very pleasant. The worst of this nettle is the tendency it exhibits to shoot up wherever a clearing has been effected. In passing through the dray tracks cut through the scrub, great caution m-as necessary to avoid the young plants that cropped np even in a few weeks. I have never known a case of its be ing fatal to human beings, but I have seen people subjected by it to great suffer ing, notably a scientific gentleman, who plucked off a branch and carried it some distance as a curiosity, wondering the while what caused the pain and numbness in his arm. Horses I hare seen die in agony fiom the sting, tha wounded parts becoming paralysed; but, strange to say, it does not seem to injure cattle, who dash through the shrubs full of it without re ceiving any damage. JThis carious anoma ly is well known to all Lush in en. Casull'i Illustrated Travel. A polished stone tomahawk was recently found bj a Canadian wood cutter Luriod bx 1 tho wood of an oak tree.
