One of the features of the I?i-Centennial celebration In Philadelphia will be a nitrht paereant, consisting of enormons tableaux on wheels, representing historical scenes in the lifeof Pennsylvania, and also a set of "floats" illu!traf ine one of the preat epic poems of In dia, "The Kamayana." From the outlines eiven below it will he seen that there is plen ty of room for display, which we are assured will be taken advantage of. The most elab orate preparations are now eoing on, and the spectators will be astonished beyond measure at the macnificence of the tableaux. To il lustrate the Ramavann, fiftepn tableaux will be employed, rcpresentine in turn No. 1. YAI.MIKI ENIXVWEn "WITH THE GIFT OF POESY. Valmilti, after dismissing Narad, pops to the river Tantrum with his pupil to bathe ; while there a hunter kills a male curlew, and its mate mourns for it in plaintive tones, which attracts Valmlki, who exclaims : "No rest, for ever-circlinc venrs, Mayst thou, O fiiresrpr. obtain, P.y whose fell hand this harmless Mr.?, While sportine with its mate was slain." He was struck with the rhvthm of the sen tence he had almost unconsciously uttered, and while thinking and brooding over the event which called it forth, Hrahma appears. No. 2. TtlSH YABlirNft BEOr'I.F.r) FROM HIS HERMI TACF.. According to the prophecy of Sanatkumar (a saint and prophet) as a punishment for some folly wrought hy Lomapad, king of the Angas. during his reign would be visited upon the land a terrible drought ; rain could not full upon the thirsty earth, until Rish yasring (son of Vihhandak. an ascetic) was brought into the kingdom, whether persua ded, captured, or beguiled. The means devised by Lomapad and his court were as follows : A beautiful ship was built and launched upon the river ; then fruit trees, flowers, and shrubs, the most i Ko.,t;r.,i e , , beautiful of every description, were planted on this vessel after it. had been covered with earth and grass ; birds of brilliant plumage and sweetest voice were Introduced among the trees ; and to complete the whole, maids of exquisite form and lovely features, dis guised in the dress of anchorires, were placed npnn the floating island.. They then set sail and reached the hermitage beguiled ; Rihvasrint into visiting them, and carried 1 him into the land of the Angas, thereby causing the rain to fajl and bringing pros perity once more into the kingdom. No. X One of the greatest tableaux represr-nts the "Sacrifice of the White norse," which is interpreted as follows : j SACRIFICE OF THE WHITE HORSE. The great, just and mighty king. Dnnaratha, reigned in Ayodhya, in all his regal magnifi cence, b-it grieved for a son and heir. He, according to the prophecy of Sanntkttmar (as had been related to birp by Sumantra), visited Lomapad. King of the Angas, to in vite and obtain TJishvasring, so that he (Uishyasring) could feed, at the offering of ! the steed, the flames with Holv Oil, peces- ' Rama and Lakshmana, in defending ihem sary to complete the sacrifice of the "White ! selves against his attack, cut off his arms, norse." as ordained by the eods, In order j and. anxious to obtain news ot Sita, whicn that, Dasaratha might be blessed with a male Kabandha, as a spirit-ascending, could give, progeny. The request being granted by j thpv prepared and lighted the funeral pyre' Lomapad, the sacrifice was made and cofh- j ar)d placed the monstrous giant upon it, and" P'ptP1- J s had been ordained, he arose from the After the Sacrifice of the White norse smoke resplendent in his beauty and rich at comes the fourth tableaux, representing the ' tir an(1 to'd them to seek Sugriva, " Lord cc unc 11. of the oods ravana doomfd. ! of Tanars," and crave his help and' protec The sacrifice having been completed, Rishpasring, still anxious to serve King Dtsaratha, calls together the gods and Im plores them to grant tha praj-er of the pious king. i The immortals assembled also pray Brah i ma to rid them of Ravana, the terrible king of Lanka, who torments and plagues them with his might, ne tells this can only he accomplished by the son of man. Vishnu appearing, they (the gods) request him to become incarnate and grant Dasaratha's prayer for a son. to which he consents. One of the sons born by this incarnation, Rama, becomes the destroyer of Ravana. "The Nuptials of Rama" is the fifth tab lean. the nuptiat a of rama. Yishnu having become inearnafe, as re quested by the gods, brewed the heavenly nectar and conveyed ft to Dasaratha, through a divine messenger. Dasaratha then, aa directed, gave the nec tar to the Q ueens, Kausalya, to whom Rama was lorn, getting one-half. Dasaratha growing old, was thinking of the wedlock of his son, when Visvaniitra came and requested of Dasaratha Rama's aid ro destroy the Rakshasas and evil fiends, who disturbed the Hermit at his holy rites Though Rama was quite young, Dasaratha consented, and Rama departed with the ! Sage. After accomplishing the defeat and ! destruction of the Rakshasas, they, in jour- ! i neying homeward, came to Mathila, in the kingdom of Janak, possessor of the won- drops bow of Siva, the raising or bending of j which was required as a mark of valor and I to win his beautiful daughter Sita (of no j mortal birth), a a wife. All had failed, un til the peerless Rama, "the heroic and virtu- ! cms," plied his might, and gained the fair ' Sita by not only bending but breaking the wonderful and monstrous bow, "a treasure from the Skies. "The Banishment of Rama," the sixth tableau, Is one of the tnoat extensive as well s beautiful of the entire series. THE HtbRMEVT OF RAMA. j Dasaralha then made preparations for the : public acknowledgment of Rama as next j king in succession, but hU hopea and hU j happiness were frustrated through the de ! signs and intrigues of Kaikevi, his second j wife and mother of BTiarata. She was jeal j ous of Rama and waa determined that her son should ru over Ayodhya. She) there I fore exacted of Dasaratha the fulfillment of J a promise made her some years btfore.when j he was dangerously wounded in battle, and carefully attended by her, viz: That he would grant to her any two boons she might le pleased to ask. Amongst the Hindus a promise once given was irrevocable, and the wretched King was compelled to yield, al though the first boon required was to banish Rama for a period of fourteen years, and the second to declare Bharata the heir apparent, in his stead. Rama submitted to this stern decree, determined that his father's faith should not be pledged in vain, and departed in a chariot driven hy Sumantra and accom panied by Sita anil Laksman, his favorite brother and faithful companion. No. 7 illustrates THE CRIME OF DAPARATH A. Rama was no sooner gone than his aged father drooped and pined ; for six long days he mourned. During the night of the sev enth day there rose up in his mind a crime he had inadvertently committed in his youth, and to which he attributed the great sorrow that had come upon him in his old age. Calling Rama's mother, Kansalya, he un burdened his mind to her, telling how, in his youthful days, while out hunting, con cealed in some bushes, he heard what he thought was an elephant drinking. Taking an arrow he shot, and, to his grief and as tonishment, be heard a human voice groan ing, lie ran quickly to the place, and found lying beside the river bank a young hermit, with the shaft in his side. After reproach ing Dasaratha, the boy sends him for his (the hermit's) old blind parents, now bereft of their support. After telling the grievous tale, the old people are conducted to the place where their son is lying already dead. In his stupendous grief the old man places -w- . . . . . . upon uasararna a curse, viz : l hat lie, some i day, may suffer the pangs of a bereaved father's woe. Then follows the "Abduction of Sita," tableau No. 8. ABDUCTION OF SITA j During the sojourn of Rama, Sita and ! Lakshmana. in the valley of Panchayati, in j the Forest of Dandaka, Surpanhaka a mon- stcr arid sister to Ravana was inspired with love for Rama, which he repulsed, and, when I in a fit of jealous rage, she rushed upon Sita I to attack her as the beloved of Rama, Laksh mana interfered and cut off her nose and ears. Howling with furious anger she flew to Ravana, and, in revenge, inflamed him with love for Sita. He resolved to possess j her (Sita), anrl, aided by Marieha, who as ; sumed the form of a golden fawn, enticed j Rama and Lakshmana to the chase. During j their absence Ravana snatched Sita from the I hermitage, and, mounting his magjc chariot, 1 flew through the air. j Jatayu, a gigantic vulture king and devo 1 ted friend of Rama, hearing Sita's cries for ; help, tried to rescue her, but failed, after a tierce battle with her ravisher. wherein the ... . . ,. . , , birn received his death wound. The ninth tableau represents "Kabandha released from the curse of Indra." This tableau represents Kabandha escaping exul tant from the Pyre in a chariot drawn by swans. KABANDHA RELEASED FROM THE CURSK OF INDRA. On the return of Rama Trosi the chase of the giant in deer's guise, he found Sita gone, and at once set out in quest of her. In searching through Janasthan, where, dwelled the gia.its, they (Rama and Lakshmana) discovered the dying Jatayu, who informed them he hail received his death wound from the "Brother of the Lord of Gold." They paid the sad rites of burial to the Winged Monaich, and continued their journey and search. During their travels they met Kabandha, a mortal once, more beautiful than any living being, but, through the curse of Indra, forced to retain the monstrous form which he had used to tyrannize over the world, un til Rama s'iould cleave away both his an.is and place him on a funeral pyre, then his own fair shape would return to him tion, through whom they would recover the missing Sita. THE CORONATION OF SUGRIVA. ' The Coronation of Sugriva," which is the tenth tahleau, is intended to illustrate that while traveling in search of Sita, liama and his brother approached the wood of Rishjamuka, and. as they had been directed by Kabandha. sought there the august ape Sugriva, who told Rama his story, and how he was persecuted bv his brother Bali, king of the monkeys. Having received news of Sita through the ape, Rama announced to him his intention of destroying Bah, and placing him (Sugriva) on the throne. After a terrible combat, in a dire moment Rama kills Bali with one of his invincible arrows, and has Sugriva crowned king, which placing iiirn over the immense host of Vanars, he sends companies out to scour the country iu search of the missing Sita. One of these companies is commanded by Uauuman, son of the wind. The eleventh tableau shows the island of Lanka, where Sita was imprisoned in the Asoka Grove. ISLAND OF LANKA. After searching for sometime without siic cess, the monkeys were about to despair, whec they met Sampati (au aged vulture, brother of Jatayu), who discovered to them Sita's place of concealment in the island or Lanka, leagues across the sea. The Vanars then encamped upon the sea shore, and, after a loug debate, decided that Hanuman should leap across the sea to the island. After accomplishing this terrible feat, Hanuman reduced his tremendous size to that of a cat, and entered the magnificent city of Lanka, where he sought long and pa tiently for Sita, but in vain, until noticing a ,?rove of asoka trees he bad not yet visited, entered there and totind Sita, guarded by fiends and giantesses, thin and pale with sor row. He there overheard an interview, in which Sita repulsed and spurned Ravana. Assured cf the lady's purity and faith to Rama lie disclosed himself to her by the to ken given him by Rama. She exchanged it for another, and Qanuruan, after destroying the grove and doing other great and wonder ful feats returned to Rama and bis friends. After the return of that faithful ambassa dor Hanuman, Rama gathered the armies together and marched to the ocean. The twelfth tableau represents RAMA INVOKING THE OCEAN. "The Combat Between Rama and Ravana" is illustrated in the thirteenth tableau. THE COMBAT BETWEEN RAMA AND RAVANA, The mole, being built of trees and huge rocks, extended trom the main shore to the island of Lanka ; Rama and his army cross ed and beseiged Lanka. After a fierce bat tle between the two hosts. Ravana appear ed in his glittering chariot and fought with Rama, who was on foot. Indra, seeing the unequal contest, sent bis own glorious car, which Rama ascended. For many days the conflict continued, until Rama launched at his foe the deadly arrow which Brahma had bestowed upon Lord Indra, and had been given to Rama by Saint Agastya his life to save. The dart pierced the giant Ravana's heart, decided the contest, and fulfilled the promise made by Yishnu in iiis incarnation of Rama. After Ravana's death Sita was received very coldly by Rama, who wished his wife to show herself unpolluted before his whole army. Overwhelmed with shame at such a greeting from her lord, Sita caused a funeral pyre to be erected, and throwing herself thereon, prayed to the Fire God to vindicate her honor, all of which is illustrated in the fourteenth tableau. SITA'S PURIFICATION BY FIRE. PITA'S DESCENT INTO THE EARTH. Sita's descent into the earth is the subject of the fifteenth tableau. When after the lapse of years Rama decided to celebrate himself the Sacrifice of the White Horse, Valniiki and his pupils attended the ceremo nies, during which the two princes recited to their father the account of his own achieve ments. Inquiry revealed the secret of their parentage, and liama in vited Sita to reaffirm her innocence before the vast assemblage. She was unwilling to go through this second ordeal, and prayed to the Goddess of Karth to grant her a hiding place. In response to her prayer Madhavi appeared, and placing Sita on the throne beside her they descended to Hades together, a continuous shower of flowers falling on her head. A "0XDF.U OF THE YELLOWSTONE. DISCOVERY OF A GoROE WHERE THE IS A NON-CONDUCTOR OF SOUND. AIR James Carroll, a well known citizen of Helena, Montana, says the Herald of that place, recently made a remarkable discovery in the Yellowstone Park. He was alone, waiting for his fellow excursionists to come up. But let him tell the story : ; "While waiting I dismounted and sat j down on a rock, with my Winchester laying j across my knees. Around me was a scene j of grandeur. I was in a deep gorge which j led into the valley. On each side the gray j cliffs towered to a magnificent height. Bo- j hind me was the steep path down which I had come through the thick growth of stunt ed pines, while in front of and below me was ! the gorge (aquarterof a mile wide, perhaps), ' its bottom covered from the foot of one clill i to the other with a heavy growth of timber. : "After resting awhile I stood up and listen- ' ed, expecting to hear my friends approach- I ing. But not a sound met my ear. The still- j ne-os was so deep that a feeling of uneasiness : came over me, and I attempted to call out to j my companions. But although I opened my j mouth and went through all the details ol a i good lusty yell, not a sound could I make. 1 tried again and with the same result. I . couldn't understand it. My horse, which had j been standing quietly by me, noticed a move- merit ot the bushes near by. and probably j thinking her equine friends were near at- j tempted a ' whiuner.' It was a sad failure, for she could not make a sound. She was evidently as much astonished as I, and be- came as uneasy. . " I was on the point of mounting and statt ing back up the mountain, when a fierce j looking wild animal of the panther tnhe stepped out of the bushes within about thirty ! lent of whrre I was standing. It saw me j instantly ami stooped to spring at me. I j ha-tily brought my gun to my shoulder and ! fired, shall I say? No. I pulled the trig- j get-, but there was no report although the j smoke buffed out at the end of the gun and '. the wild beat fell as if s-truck. It iiumedi- j a-.eiy juui.-eu u,, hi .u i iiti ,11 . u,e urusn , pd immediately an.l pursued that. Itseemed but leaving a trail of blood behind it. I;. .. r i i 1, j was now confirmed in my former suspicion that I was in a land of enchantment, and al though not at all superstitious under ordi nary circumstances 1 would not have been much surprised now to see the devil himself jump out from behind a rock. I immediate ly jumped on my horse and started back up the path. " In about a hundred yards I met my com panions, who were all standing close together tri:ig to talk to each other, but although they seemed to be shouting at the topof their voices they were reailj as dumb as the dead. Although I felt that Old Nick himself was jut as likely as not to be on my trail 1 could not help laughing at their odd gestures, grimaces and red faces from their t-fforts al making themselves heard. They were pretty badly frightened, too. " 1 passed by them and beckoned them to follow me back the way we had come. No attempt was made at conversation. After going a quarter of a mile in silence 1 lost my way. One of my comrades who seemed to think he knew the way back to the trail came up close to me and bending over so that his mouth was close to my ear, with a superhuman effort veiled ' Let me lead 1' His shout nearly bursted my ; tympanum, j We had got out of the charmed air." j A Gkkat Storm Predicted. Dr. E. Stone Wigeins, of Ontario, Canada, who some time ago predicted that the recent gale would sweep from east to west over the con tinent, says a great storm will strike this planet in March next.

No vessel smaller than a Cunarder will be able to live in this tempest. India, the south of Europe, England and es pecially the North American continent will lie the theatre of its ravages.

Snap, my little fox-terrier, was the most affectionate and devoted dog 1 ever remem ber, ft mattered not where I went, he was sure to be close at my heels, and tb thicker the crowd, the closer he kept to them. For the three years that I lived in London, in all our wanderings I never once missed him or had any trouble with him. As far as possible, dogs are prohibited from traveling on the underground railway; but s I had constantly to travel by it from King's Cross to Paddington, and Snap's habit of keeping close being well known to the officials, they winked at his accompany ing me. On a certain afternoon, being, as usual, on my way to TaddingUin, and a train being due at King'sCross, Imadea rush for it, and reached the platform just as a train was coming into the station. Jumping into a compartment, I looked to see if the dog was with me, but to my dis may, s a porter slammed the door and the train began to move, I observed Snap on the platform, running wildly up and down look ing for me. Suddenly he saw me at the win dow, but it was too late ; and as we entered the darkness of the tunnel, I heard him give a despairing bark. I felt angry with myself for not looking after him more carefully, and resolved to get out at the next station and go back for him But how had he missed me? I could not understand it, for he had never done such a thing before. Five minutes brought us to Gower street, and a train then due took me back in another five minutes to where I bad started from. "nave you seen my dog?" I asked of a porter there who knew me. "Your dog, sir ?" answered the man . "Oh yes, to be sure. You left him behind, didn't you? Well, as the train went into the tun nel, I saw him jump from the platform and follow it." " What !" I said ; " he wasn't following it when we reached Gower street." Wasn't he ? Then I expect he's still in the tunnel. The train went toa fast for him to keep up with it. "He'll be run over!" I exclaimed, very nervous for Snap's safety. " Tell you what, sir. I'll go and get per- uiimoii. u you iiKe irom me inspector to j take a lantern and see if we can find him." j I thanked the man. and he started off to i get the necessary permission, which the in- ! ; spector gave, after saying something about i people having no right to bring dogs into the I ' station. Together the man and I then went i j into the tunnel. i ! The unaccustomed darkness, to say noth- : j ing of the perils of such an expedition, in- j j spired me with considerable dread, and I ' j kept tight hold of my guide's arm. When j j we had advanced some two or three hundred : I yards along the under-ground highway, or ' rather ' low " way, the lights of an un-train I became visible. As it went by and we stood still for a minute, the roar and rattle were not calculated to dispel my nervousness. They were terrible deafening. Immediate ly it passed, the poiter cried out. " Look there, sir look ; there he goes !" He was pointing toward the red danger light at the tail of the receding train, and there, sure enough, was Snap scampering after it at a pace which no one could have given a fox-terrier credit for. I began to call and whisfie as loudly as I could, but my voice was drowned by the hissing whir and rattle going on. Just then another engine hove in sight on our line of rails, and we had rapidly to step back into one cf the recesses or man-holes, as 1 believe they are called. When this second train had shot past us, there again, to our astonishment, was Snap galloping after it. He had not observed us, of course. We then walked on some little way further along th? tunnel, and in a min ute another tip-train passed us, and there once more the dog was behind it. " How ridiculous," I cried, " and yet how painf ul, to see the poor little beast tearing to and fro for dear life in this way ! He will surely be run over before long." But the reason was obvious ; he could not keep up with the speed of the train, and by tho time it had distanced him, another pro bably passed In the opposite direction, when, confused by the noise and turmoil, be turn- lo inn inii.iy iiirti i cuioia iii.ii lie nuu truni't u the wheels even so far in these agonizing ef forts to find me. As the lights of the next engine came in view, I resolved to give the last carriage just time to pass, and then to rush out, and, if possible, to intercept my poor pet, for I ex pected him again to return with that. I was not mistaken, and as I slipped from the man- ' hole in front of the dog the porter held his ! lan?ern so that Us light fell full upon my form. Snap instantly recognized me, and with one bound and a breathless yelp landed on my breast, and clasping me tightly round the neck with his two fore-legs as if they had ; been the arms of a loving child, he rubbed his wet nose excitedly against my face. Ter- i rifled well nigh unto death, gasping and ex hausted, and all the time uttering a plaintiva little wail of delight, he lay almost motion less in this position for several minutes, while his affectionate heart beat like a small sledge hammer against mine. This simple but in tense demonstration of canine devotion, in the gloomy depths of the under-ground, with only the faint rays of the porter's lamp to illuminate the scene, was very touching. You have got a ioble little chap there, sir," eaid the man, as he kd the way cau tiously back to the platform. " He was worth a bit of trouble to find, and no ruis- . - i .. t . "finite t ne. mv friend. I answered. . ' and I'll take good care for the future to pop him under my arm when I travel on the Me. tropolitan Railway again." " I reckon he won't give you the chance, sir," said the man. " I know a bit about dogs, and I shouldn't wonder if he fights shy of the stations altogether after this. The man was right, for never since that day have I been able to induce Snap to come . - - . m within yards or tne neau -i ln..-r.J tion stairs. Coax and cajole him as I will, be always resists. He look3 up at me witn such a pitiful expression, as much as to say : "Why, you wouldn't risk losing me again, would you ?" that I have at last conceded the point to him you will readily understand, for I need hardly add that if I had a strong regard for my dog before, it has grown into j ru anrl srronir Hiiwunn " " . rr.

"Yes," said the conductor, biting off the tip of a cigat and slowly scratching a match on his le., "I've seen a good deal of railroad life that's inteiesting and exciting in the twenty years that I've been twisting brakes and slamming doors for a living. "I've seen all kinds of sorrow and all ! kind3of jfJ ; seen the happy bridal couple starting out on their wedding tour with the bright and hopeful future before them, and the black robed mourner on her way to a new-made crave, wherein she must bury the idol of her lonely old heart. "Wealth and pinching poverty on the same train, and the merry laugh of the jos ous child is mingled w ith the despairing sigh of the aged. The preat antipodes of life are familiar to the conductor, for every day the extremes of the world are meeting benealh his eye. "I've mutilated the ticket of many a blackleg, arid handled the passes of all our most eminent deadheads. I don't know what walk in life is crowded with more thrilling incidents than mine." "Ever have ar.y smash-ups?" "Smash-ups? Oh, yes, several. None, however, that might not have been woise." "There is one incident in my railroad life," continued the conductor running his tongue carefully over a broken place in the wrapper of his cigar, "that I never spoke of before to any one. It has caused me more miseiy and wretchedness than any one thing that ever happeiidl to me in my oflicial cin-t r. "Soi ietinies even now, nftt-r the ) of many jears, I awake in the niht with c-dd drops of agony standing on my face and the horrible nightmare upon m.- with its terrible surroundings, as plain as on the memorable night it occurred. "I was runningexiia on the I'nion PacTic lor a conductor who was an old friend of mine, and who had gone- South on a vacation. "At about 7.30, as near as I can remember, we were sailing along all comfortable one evening, with a straight stretch of track ahead for ten or fifteen miles running on time, and everybody feeling tip-top, as over land travelers do who are acquainted with each other and feel congenial. All at once the train suddenly slowed down, ran into an old sliding and stopped. "Of course I got out and ran ahead of the engine to see what the matter was. Old Atitifat, the engineer, had gone down, and was on the main track looking ahead to where, twinkling along about six or seven miles down the road apparently was the head-light of an approaching train. It was evidently 'wild,' for nothing was due that we knew of at that hour. "However, we had been almost miracu lously saved from a fiightful wreck by the engineer's watchfulness, and everybodv ' wenl Iorwara ana shook old Antifat by the j hand, and cried and thanked him, till it was I the most affecting scene for awhile that I j ever witnessed. It was as though we had j stopped at the verge of. a bottomless chasm, j and everybody was crying at once, till it was i a kind of cross between a revival and a pic ! nic. 1 "After we had waited about half an hour. ; I should say, for the blasted train to come ; up and pass us, and apparently she was no j nearer, a cold, clammy suspicion began to ' bore itself into the adamantine shell of my j intellect. The more I thought of it the more j uu happy I felt. I almost wished that I was ! dead. Cold streaks ran up my back follow j by hot ones. I wanted to go home. 1 want ; ed to be where the hungry, rrymg eyes of : the great, throbbing work day world could not see me. "I calledAntifat to one side and said some thing to him. He swore softly to himself and kicked the ground, and looking at the headlight still glimmering in the distance. Then he got on the engine, and I yelled, All aboard ! In a few moments we were moving again, and the general impression was that the train ahead was side tracked and waiting for us, although there wasn't a side track within twenty miles, except the one we had just left. "It was never exactly clear to the passen gers where we passed that wild train, but I didn't explain to them. I was too much en grossed with my surging thoughts. "I never felt my own inferiority so much as I did that night. I never so fully realized what a mere speck man is upon the bosom of the universe. "When I surveyed the starry vault of heaven and considered its illimitable space, where, beyond and stretching on and on for ever, countless suns are placed as centers, around which solar systems are revolving in their regular orbits, each little world peo- i pled, perhaps, and then other and mightier i systems of worlds revolving about these I systems till the mind is dazed and giddy with ; the mighty thought; and theu when 1 com ' pared all this universal magnificence, this brilliant aggregation of worlds and systems of worlds, with one poor, grovelinrr worm of the dust, only a little insignificant atom, only a poor, weak, erring, worthless, fallible, blind, groping railroad conductor, with my i train peacefully side-tracked in the gather j ing gloom and patiently waitir.g for the ! planet Venus to pass on the main track, j there was somethiug about the whole som j her picture that has overshadowed my whole j life, and made me unhappy and wretched while others were gay. ! "Sometimes Antifat and myself meet at ! some liquid restaurant and silently take something in memory of our great sorrow, but never mention it. We Dever tear open the ranKling wound nor laugh over the night .. . . . we politely gave the main track to Venus while we stood patiently on the siding." Jxtramie Boomerang.

A correspondent at O-tervi.ie.Mass., writes us : I suppose near!y;eTery,vr.lage on New England coat has its traditional itory con nected with the exploits of far-famed Cap tain Kidd, but the one to which universal credit is given, in the small seclu- ded place in which 1 am now Ftaying, may be new to some of your readers. It was told us by an old sea captain oue beautiful afternoon, just toward dusk (which enhanced the interest of the tale) to while awav part of an hour dur ing which the wind left our litt'e'bark as "Idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean." It seems, so the legend runs, that Captain Kidd, after an unusually successful expedition, ottered the bay on the shores ot which this village stands, in search of a safe repositor y for his ill-gotten gains. He select ed a sheltered spot on an island in its centre, and to guard against its ever being disturb ed, he killed a illage maiden named "Han nah," and left her spirit to watch over the place till his return. Tears passed, and in in all human probability Kidd had been many years dead, and there lay the treasure un claimed, and to the somewhat indolent villa gers it seemed a shame to miss the chance of acquiring wealth in such a rapid manner ; so two of the most daring men started at mid night, of course, and rowed in a light akiff to the fatal spot, taking with them rods ot the witch hazel, which, as every one knows, are unfailing indicators of the resting place of any hidden treasure. They landed and slowly advanced inland, watching anxiously lor the bending of their wands to show the spot where the hopes or wealth lay. At. length the witch hazei quivered, waved wild ly round (there was no breeze,) and finally dropped slowly, till it nearly touched the ground. The men seized their tools and eagerly set to work. Soon a deep pit yawned Ix-Tore them, and their strength was beginning to fail, when a dull metallic sound greeted their ears, and roused them to redoubled activity ! They had struck something hard, and soon a heavy iron chest was exposed to view. It had two strong rings in the top, and these the men firmly grasped when at on- there arose on the iiit the fearrul scream or a woman ! The cbest was slowly drawn down into the earth, nearly'pulling the men In with it. On looking round, they beheld them selves the centre of a circle round which were moving white animals of every descr ip tion, prancing and littering the various cries of their species. The terrified men fled to. the boat, where a new horror awaited them. When they tried to pull off, behold, -'Hannah," at the stern, robed in white, her hair blowing in the w ind and her eyes gleaming with unnatural lioht, boldingthe hoat fast to the shore. Their f?ar was great, but one, barpily remembering what name was used to exorcise evil spirits, cried in a loud voice ' Hannah, in the name of the living God. let go !" and she threw up her hands, shrank back and slowly vanished from their sight, and their boat was free.
