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.

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

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,

~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

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.

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

thus unite the ,good qualities of both

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
