THE MYSTERY OF NATURE By TIIEODORE TILTON' The works of God are fair for naught, Unless our eyes, in seeing, See hidden in the thing the thought That animates its being. The outward form is not the whole, But every part is moulded To image forth an inward soul, That dimly is unfolded, ,• • The shadow, pictured in the lake By every tree that trembles, Is east for more than just the sake Of that which it resembles. The dew falls nightly, not alone • Because the meadows need it, But on an errand of its own To human souls that heed it. The stars aro lighted in the skies Not merely for their shining, But, like the looks of loving eyes, Aare meanings worth divining. The waves that moan along the shore, The winds that sigh in blowing, Are sent to teach a mystic lore Which men are wise in knowing, The clouds around the mountain•poak, The rivers in their winding, Have secrets which, to all who seek, Are precious in the finding. Thus Nature dwells within our reach, But, though we stand so near her, We still interpret half her speech With ears too dull to hoar her. Whoever, at the wariest sound, Still listens for the finest, Shall hear the noisy world go round To musio the divinest. Whoever yearns to see aright, Because his heart is tender, Shall catch a glimpse of heavenly light In every earthly splendor. So, since the universe began, And till it shall bo ended, The soul of Nature, soul of Man, And soul of God aro blended ! —Atlantic Monthly A Chapter of Humor. By JOHN QUILT. I net my friend Mr. Wilkins down in the front parlor of the hotel at Old Castle one evening last week. He was engaged in reading a batch of "letters from his two boys, ono of whom is at boarding-school, and the other visiting an aunt in the country in company with his mother. Wilkins is anxious to see his offspring in print, so I send them to you. They aro modest of style. Letter front Holofergnes Montgomery Wilkins, BIRCIITOWN ACADEMY, Sept. 20 DEAR For am getting along firstrate at the school, and I. like it very much, all except Whacks, the assistant. "Old Beeswax," we call hire;and we are down on him like a pile-driver, all us boys, for he's ignorant. Why he's so ignorant ho don't know a black board from a dark night, no, he don't ; and Bill Ferguson he put a torpodor under each log of Old Beesey's chair yester day, and when ho sat down (you see, he sets down like ho had ballast in him), why the torpodors they explo ded, and liked to Wowed him through the roof. Golly, but wasn't ho scared ! He looked at the almanac to make sure it wasn't the 4th of July, and then he came down, looking mad, and licked Bill like blazes. But Bill said ho didn't care a (lent, and the next time he would sprinkle gunpowder in his hair, and bust his old trontivioc9 off of him. Dr. Groggles, he's a nice enough old feller, only ho will sit and chew gum drops right before us boys, and never say "take some" once. Ho wears green specs, and Bin Fur guson, he called him "old four eyes" ono day, which the doctor, be heard Bill say it, and be nailed him and dragged him up to the desk, and then ho gave us a lecture, and said there was once a boy he knew, and he was about Bill's size, who insulted a gray headed old man, and called him wick ed names, and the next day—the very next morning—the boy's mother died of inflammatory rheumatism, and his sister broke out with bunions. Bill, he cried while the doctor held him by the shirt. collar, but ho winked at tho boys as he came. away, and wrote on a piece of paper, and throw it over to me, that ho thought the doctor was "a blower," and ho dare sent hit a boy of his size. I want some now books very much, about ten of them, and they will cost eight dollars. Please send the rifonoy for them. Don't send the books, for the doctor likes us to buy them here. I don't want any money for taffy or marbles for I don't care about them; but be sure not to send anything but the money for the books,. lam in good health. I Was taken sick last week, and had a sore eye for a few days, but, it is now well. -PERSEVERE.- We was playing mumbley-peg out on the grass, and. Bill Ferguson, he grabbed my knife. I told him ho bet tor give that knife up or ;would tell you, and get you to lick him when you came down, and he said he could lick you and a dozen like you, and; then be dared me to knock a chip oft' his shoul• der, And Jake McGinnis; be 'mailed me against him, and that knocked the chip off, and Bill he struck 'me over the nose three or four times, =and said he'd "bust my snoot" if I didn't dry up, for I couldn't help crying, and 1 was taken sick, and couln't go to school all that day. And the doctor, he locked Bill up in the garret, but he didn't care, for he (dumb out on the roof, and was chas ing around after torn cats, up and down, almost all the morning, and pul ling plaster out of the chimney to throw at people in the street. Give my love to all at home, and don't forget the money for books. Bill is about fourteen; do you think ho can lick you ? Please send the money, and believe me. Your affectionate son, 11. M. Wir.rims, P. S.—Dou't forgot to send the money for those books. Letter front Bucephalus Alexander Wit- Ea IN TrIE COUNTRY ; Sept. 20 ~Ity Dear Father :—Me and William Henry aro having a first-rate time,and f write to you these few lines that we are well, and so is mother. She and Aunt Samantha, they will spat, you know, and yesterday mother told aunt Samantha that she had fished for you when she was a-girl, hut-couldwt—get you. Aunt Camantba, the said would not marry such a bald-headed bush waelcer as you are, if you were worth a million. non mother,she said she "couldn't" and Aunt Samantha said she "could," and mother went at her with the roll ingpin, and for a few minutes the fur flew, 7 tell you. _ William Henry and I thought that would ho a good chance to go for the preserves in the pantry, and so wo did, but mother came in and caught us, and whipped us like the nation. She's gottirm rather rough on us, I think. Can't you come down and help us over the stony places ? Uncle John, he took us to the circus last night, where there was a boy about my size, who threw BLIMITIerBOLS on a horse. Say, pop, may I quit go ing to school and join a circus And William Henry be came home, and went out and tried to skin the cat in the barn, but he got over and could not get back, and he fell down and scared one of the hors so that he kick ed his leg through a partition and broke it, and scared a hen off of thir teen eggs she was setting on, so that she wouldn't come back, besides knock ing down a scythe blade that fell on a cow, and cut her so that she bled to death. Didn't ITnelo John got up and howl over that? Well ho did. But William Henry said you'd •pay for the damage, and we wont a fishing to get out of the way, but we didn't ketch much excepting a few eatties, and while I was looking over the side of that boat William Henry kept a rocking it, and it upset, and we both got wet, but a man hauled us out, and we went home, but mother she like to flogged the hide off of us. I wish you would 3omo down here as soon as over you can. Don't mind Aunt Samantha, she's nothing but a wall-eyed old teapot, anyhow, and William Henry says ho bets her teeth are false. So we are enjoying ourselves very much, and we spend our time hunting for birds, and so on, and last week 1 got a fair crack at ono and I shied a stone and it slipped and bit six bottles of new ketchup that were standing on a table outside of the kitchen door, and glanced over and struck the ser vant girl on the jaw, which swelled up like she had a half a brick in her mouth. You never see such a, face; but I couldn't help it, and mother• she spank ed me like mad. It you can corno down as soon as convenient I will be very glad. We are all very well excepting Wm. Henry, and ho has a slight attack of dog bite—rush of dog to the leg, the doctor called it. You see Alullonoy's over on the next farm, they have an orchard, and William Henry he went for his apples, but Malley, you know, was a watching him tohind a tree, and ho set a yellow-nosed Lull-terrier on William Henry, and William Henry just did his all fired boat to get over that fence, so ho broke for it, and just as he got ono leg over,:the ball-territT it clinched its teeth into his leg, and I 'l4 0' tl,l_l. hung on just like as if he 'groomed there and had nerer been 'Used to anything else. William lleniy had his pants torn, and mother she' inddo him go to bed with out any sup per but he lot a string out of the window and' I tied a basket full of ginger-bread I found" in the cellar: on to it, and then_ I told mother I wanted to go to-bed; too, and William Henry and I had a bully old time off of them gingerbread, you just bet.: ' But. mothor comes it too s'oVere; . ou us, so can't you come do'wnl I am Your affectionate gn,' B. A. Wlmima Mr. Wilkins stated that he Sympa: thized "deeply with the boys,; but wouln't go down. - "For,". said he, "what's: the use of 'my going down along with that woman just to make myself miserable, and lose the only chance I've got to have a little peace and quiet? What's the use, I say? and by George, I won't go, not if I know myself, and I think I do."— Philadelphia Sunday Transcript. A PLAIN Trturti.—.No man has a right to marry till, in ovary human probability, assured that he can sup port a family in his own station. Mere love, or improvident matches seldom turn out well: poverty comes, and there is so muckscif reproach on either side, that gall is added to its bitter ness; their tempers are soured, and they soon wish themselves unmarried. But when trials assail an attached, a reasonable pair, sorrow unites them closer; the man, feeling how much de pends on him, never'llags in his exer tion, and often recovers the lost step ; if not, there is still consolation in his witb's unvarying love—in her sweet, iio - feeless sacrifices. In these uncer tain times, there are few commercial men but have met - with reverses; and they will often say, "Had it not been for those at home, I should have blown my brains out; I could not have stood it." Wife and children i they are a beacon to us in our troubled sea : we renew the struggle when ready to sink beneath the wave, and at last are sa ved. At the worst, when all is black —when friends are cooled or reproach ful—when the most cruel doubts assail us—there is still ono . who respects and loves us; at home we are still dear. ARTLESS SIMPLICITY.—Ono of the sweetest incidents that - we have notic ed for many a day—and ono which shows the effect of early training, as sisted by a pure and undefiled imagin ation—has just fallen under our obser vation., It is thus related: A, lady visited .New 'York City, and saw on the sidewalk a ragged, cold and hungry-little girl, gazing wistfully at some of the cakes in the shop win dow. She stopped, and taking the 'lit tle one by the hand„led her into the store. Though she was aware that . bread might be bettor for the cold child than cake, yet desiring to grati fy the shivering and forlorn one, she bought and gave her the cake she wan ted. She then took her to another place where she procured her a shawl . and other articles of comfort. The grateful little creature looked the be nevolent lady fully in the face, and with artless simplicity said, "Aro you God's wife ?" Did the most eloquent speaker employ words to better advan tage. MODESTY. —.Nothing is more amiable than true modesty, and nothing more contemptible than that which is false: the one guards virtue, the: other be trays it. True modesty is ashamed to' do anything that is repugnant to right reason; false modesty is ashamed to do anything that is opposed to the hu mor of those with whom the party con verses. True modesty avoids every thing that is criminal; false modesty everything that is unfashionable; the latter is only a general, undetermined instinct—the former is that instinct limited and circumscribed by the rules of prudence and religion. - EYES OPEN.—Keep your eyes open, beys and girls. ' There is not a leaf on the trees, a linchin on the bark, a face in the street, but that can teach you something, if you will only keep your oyes open. .05-The humble man requests a fa vor as though he were unworthy to receive it; but tho proud man asks for a favor in the same tone as he were granting one. friar - Relatives are not necessarily our best friends; but they cannot do us an injury, without being enemies to them selves. In prosperity wo need moderation; in adversity, patience, Idleness is the mother of dee r in dustry the stepmother of ail virtues. Idleness buries at man alivt: TERMS, $2,00 a year in advance. The Spider's Web. How. wonderful is the tenuity of the fairy-like lines, yet strong enough to enable the aerial voyager to run thro' the air, and catch his prey which Nien tures within his domain. It is so fiho that, in the wobof the gossamer spider, the, smallest of the tribe, are twenty tubes, through - which is drawn teh vie cid globule; the gummy matter it em ploys in-spinning each of the , thick nesses of about one-tenth of an inch -- It takes 140 of these globules to farm a single spiral line ; it has twenty-four circumlocutions to go through, which gives the number of 8,860. We have thus got the average total number of times between two radii of the circle; multiplying that number by 26, the number of radii which the untiring in sect spins, gives the total amount_ of 87,860 viscid globules before the net is complete. The dimensions of the net, of Course, varies with the species. Some will be composed of as many as 150,000 lines; yet oven to form this net, the spider will only take five minutes Wonder ful, indeed, is the,proeess by which the spider draws the thread from its body, more wonderful than any rope or silk spinning. Each of these spinnerets is covered with rows . of bristle : like, points, so very fine that a space about the size of a pin's head, will cover a thousand of them. From each of these points or tubes issues a small but sleri• der thread whiCh unites with the other thread; so that from each spinneret proceeds a series of threads forming one compoUnd whole; these are situa ted about one-third of an inch from the apes of tlit spinnerets; they also unite and forin One thread, 624 of which are used by the spider in form ing, his not. With the instrument which Natere has'given Lim, the claws of his foot, the spider guides and'ar ranges the glutinous thread as this seemingly inexhaustible fibre ie drawn from his body and interweaves them with each , other until the web is com plete. In this way spiders are weav ers of li:supple line, wliose'touch, for quickness and fineness surpasses that of any spinning jenny. A Curtmus CALCULATION.—An ex change says: "What a noisy creaturo would a man be were his voice, in , proportion to . his weight, as loud as that of a locust A locust can 'be hoard at the distance of ono-sixteenth of a mile. Theigolden wren is said to weigh but half an ounce; so that middling sized man would weigh, down not short of four thousand of them;, and it must ho strange if a golden wren would not outweigh four of ; our, locusts. Supposing, therefore, that a common man weighs as much as six- , teen thousand of our locusts, and that the note of a locust can be hoard one sixteenth: of a mile, a man of common dimonsions, pretty sound of wind and limb, ought to be 'able to make himself heard at the distance of one thousand six hundred iniles; and when he snee zes, his house ought .to fall about his ears! Suppose a flea •to weigh one grain, which is more than its actual weight, and jump one and a half yard, a coniruan man of. one hundred grid fifty pounds, with jumping powers in proportion, could jump twelve thous and eight hundred miles, or plaint the distance from New York to Cochin China." GMLS.—Somebody says, and it is true, that there are two kinds of girls. One is the kind that appears best abroad—Alto girls that aro good for parties, rides, treats, visits, 4r0., and whose chief delight is in such things.— The other is the kind that appears best at home—the girls that aro useful and cheerful in the dining room, sick room, and all the precinots at home. They differ widely in character. One is of ten a torment 'at home, the other a blessing. Ono is a moth, consuming everything about ; the other is a sun. beam, inspiring light ,and gladness all around her pathway. The • right edu cation will modify both a little, and thus unite the ,good qualities of both in ono. gm, Debt is Satan in disguise. Peo ple who are skeptical on the point will not be troubled that way after getting into the slough a "little way. To be followed by dunners is to lead off a bad company; a set of men no man should 'ever got acquainted With. There is no quiet in debt. Is is a world to which torturing spectres jump up and jump down, and jump all around in attitudes and shapes that are more than It is easy enough to keep oat of debt; once in it it is a struggle no gi ant is equal to. "young men—and also young women—will make a note of this. Proud looks lose hearts, but court() ous words win them. Tl 3 JOB PRINTING OFF4C.E.
