Oh! he uge of men worn and weary,
With suffering: ar.d EiII oft distressed,
Cool.i'st Thou leave 'n2:l surroundings so dreary
Thy peace as a dyizg request ?
To Thine ear romes the cry of sharp sorrow
That rig jts through the pitiless world;
Ar.d know'et Ti-,u how oft with the morrow
To a deeper de,i;air we are burled?
For the dawn brings no light that can lead us,
The birds F 'mg nu s•irq,s that can cheer,
.N.,r do , s hf,rrcst give food that can feed us,
And the Winter's gloom rcinni through the year.
We've felt strange rn!d onr kindred and neighbors,
Been lonely in t!,,ei haunts of men,
Had to rest on a sto , . , from our labors,
And no Lions to comfort ua then.
We've beEla lured I ,y the voice of the kiren
And (aught in her cruel embraee,
Have found that the heart may be iron,
Tho' beauty may shine in the face.
We are weary with chasing the shadows
And bearing our burdens of care,
For our way has not lain through the meadows,
We have chosen the dust and the glare.
Yet, Savior, on Thee in our anguish
We'll pillow our rare-stricken head,
For in sorrow of soul Thou did'st vanquish
The foes that Ell lire with such dread.
We have ‘ved for ourselves 'stead of others,
Sought iu temples of pleasure our shrine.
Held no cup to the lips of cur brothers,
Or with gall often mingled our wine.
We blers lbee who catn'st down in glory
To suffer . , to succor, to save;
By Thy Cross to shine bright in life's story
And tritkinr.h o'er (leach and the gi ave.
We'll fret with the world then no longer ;
It can bring to us nothing but bliss,
Were our heart only stronger
To (Thu nd to man than it is.

A DEADLY FOE.
Two persons stood side by side in the
little forest glade. They were a man and
a woman—aman tall, cl:trk and muscular,
whose deerskin wrappings were the exact
symbol of his character ; one of Nature's
hunters he, whom neither wind nor lain
nor storm could daunt, who feared neither
white bandit nor red rover • whose. whole
life, in first, had been passed beyond the
limits of the white man's haunts, and
whose only training had been in the use of
the rifle and the knife.
The woman beside him was a Utah girl.
Even amore the wild red men there will
sometimes be found a rarely beautiful wo
man. Th -girt was all symmetry and
grace. fier lar . ee, dark eyes assimilated
well with the rich brown of her dusky
cheek, and the flowing masses of jetty hair
fell in lustrous folds over the beautifully
rounded shoulders. One band rested lov
ingly upon the young man's shoulder, as
she lifted l ttiose glorious eyes to his.
Strange that so strong a mixture ofsen
timent had gotten into this young bunter's
disposition. Whether it were the babbling
brooks, the sighing winds among the trees,
this life-longassociatiin with the beauties
of nature, young Ned Merlin had drank in
with his life. a feeling of tenderness, of ro
mantic sentiment, which all along had
made him no leis a brave, free hunter, and
had developed hint mere and more into a
noble.hearted man So his lore for till
pure, brave hearted Indian girl who stood
beside him was of the deepest, truest nature.
Thus they stood communing with each
other in the same place where they first
hqd plighted,. their troth to each other.—
They stood their in there shady covert,
while the sun crept down behind the tree
tops and bathed tI c western hills with his
fast-retreating splendors. There they
stood, heart to heart and life to life, in this
dream of love and happ;nese.
But while these two thus stood together,
this happy quiet was roughly assailed by
an uolooked for event. The bushes parted
on the northu rn side of the glade, and a
dusky chi - efts:a strode, rifle in hand, to
ward the pair Ned Merlin threw his rifle
to his shoulder, but L'Aus Flower struck
the barrel upward, and the chieftain's life
was saved The next moment they were
surrounded by a gleaming circle of up
lifted kniveli and hatchets, and. despite his
dc,sprate strug,:les, .NA Merlin was se
curely bound.
The pale faced hunter has turned aside
the heart of a red maiden," said the chief
—She uo longer look: upon the young men
of her peop!tit with favor. her brow is sad
when she looks upon the Great Bear, her
father, and the Great Spirit is very angry
with the Lotus Flower. The white hunter
has done this, and he must die."
"Yes; let the pale ftce die !" said the
young brave. If stood beside the prisoner,
knife in hand.
This was Tiger Slayer, the bravest war
rior of his trik.. Jie was renowned among
all the nations of the Utah. Keen eyed,
sagacious, a dead shot, a great trailer, he
was feared by the majority of his people.
Unscrupulous and unprincipled in the at
tainment of his purpose; he had reached
his eminent position as leading warrior of
his tribe by vit.. *nee and difficulty. Al
though not yet, chief he was an eager as
pirant for tha.O.t,roud position, and there
were many, the worst spirits among the
rising young men, who were secretly aid
ing him in the attainment of his purpose.
The Tiger E. Byer was in love with the
daughter of the chief, Great Bear. Lotus
Flower had been the one bright star, the
one ray of sunshine in his bold, bad heart.
He loved her as well ai his nature was
capable of loving. Naturally jealous, he
had dogged her footsteps at different times,
and on one of these occasions had discov
ered
her secret—t lie love she bore the
young white hunter. This was enough to
fire his most furious passions. The white
man should meet death; he should go the
road that many a spirit who had crossed
the path of Tiger Slayer had traveled
But he dared not slay him openly. Well
he knew that Lotus Flower would then be
lost to him forever. So he employed strat
agem, and worked his plans so well that
the scene in the forest glade was the result.
\ViFE
wlrj:
Ned Merlin said nothing, but led the
maiden away. The most of the warriors
• who were of the chief's own guard looked
pleased; but a hard look settled over the
stolid face, and a fierce light burned in the
blazing black eye, as Tiger Slayer's hand
closed and shut upon the handle of his
knife convulsive►.y.
Dark rolled the clouds across the face of
heaven. The winds sighed a mournful
requiem among, the lofty pines on the hill
side, as though some lost spirit's breath
was borne on their unerring wings. Now
and then, as the hurrying clouds broke and
drifted asunder, a pale moon flooded the
open glades of the forest below with her
pale, energetic light, only to leave them
darker and more drear for the sudden
change. A wild, terrible night, unfitted
for any to be abroad save those spirits who
might be intent on wickedness and crime.
And yet two dark figures entered this
solitary glen together. A bright flash of
moonlight revealed their faces for a mo
ment
as their eyes sought each other.—
Lotus Flower and the heroic young hunter,
who for her sake was perilliug that which
to every man is so dear, his life."
"When the sun rises above the eastern
hills you will be far away, my darling,"
breathed Ned Merlin, in a voice scarcely
distinguishable above the roar of the temp
est, which swayed the pines in this lofty
val!ey.
The Manitou, whom Lotus Flower loves,
will save us 'from that man. Lotus Flower
is alone now. The Great 1.3.?ar is slain. The
hand of Tiger Slayer sought his life. The
Lotus Flower will leave her peop!e and go
with her pale face-lover to his home. The
faces of the Utahs are no longer open.—
Their eyes are blinded by bate, and Tiger
Slayer rill rule the people. The young
braves now follow him upon the trail."
The whole of the late terrible tragedy
was told in these brief words. The attempt
of Great Bear and his guards to save the
pale-face hunter, so long his friend ; the
vengeance of Tiger Slayer and his turbu
lent allies; the destruction of Great Bear
and his bind, and the flight of Lotus
Flower and her lover amid the darkness
of the storm—all this was portrayed too
vividly in the countenance of each as they
stood face to face that terrib!e night in the
little forest glade.
. .
The hand of Merlin was raised in alarm.
A wild cry wad pealing through the forest.
Tiger Slayer had write!: their trail.
"We must Ay !"
Like a mountain doe the Indian girl
sprang fi,rward, her faithful friend beside
her. Thus for an hour, while the storm
howled around them and the darkness grew
more intense, they fled. But the wailing
cry of an Indian hound reached their ears
with more and more distinctness, and they
realized with each moment that they must
stand and await the destiny which was so
near, the fate which seemed to hover over
them.
Lour , . and lean was the hound which
sprang from the sheltering bushes aryl
leaped straight toward the pair who faced
him as calmly. A bullet from the white
man's rifle laid him low ; but ere the
echoes of the gun had died away in the
distance, two stalwart Indian rutners
broke cover, tomahawk in hand._
The mtruggle was short and decisive.—
Lotus Flower's gun brought, one down, as
the bullet of the other whizzed harmlessly
overhead. An instant later the hatchet
of the hunter deep Within his brain.
Then the two turned to flee.
Teo tate! The sharp report of a rige
!)rnke the stillness, and with a low cry the
Indian maiden sank forward into theshel
tering arms reached out toward her. lie
strained her to his heart ; he kissed the
dimming eyes and quivering lips of her he
had loved bo well—loved even to her de
struct ion.
"L'tus Flower Foci. The Great Mani
ton calls her away."
She was dead a moment after. Tenderly
Ned Merlin laid her down. Then he
lifted his face, stern and savage. _ .
Tigicr Slayer's hand sped the fatal bul.
let, and Tiger Slayer was close upon the
pale face, for, hatchet in hand, like an
avenging spirit, Ned Merlin rushed to
meet the murderer. Ilia eyes gleamed
like coals; his hand opened and shut upon
his hatchet with a twitching motion that
boded ill to whomsoever stood before it.
'The pale lace dog shall die I"
The TOIIIOIIIOII9 words hi,sed between Ti
ger Slayer's teeth. But only for an in
stant did he speak thus boastingly. There
was a ,lash of steel; a quick stroke back
and forth; a dull thud upon the ground;
a form bounding away amid a storm of
bullets, as the air resounded with a chorus
of savage yells, while upon the ground lay
the body of Tiger Slayer, cold in death.
For au instant the moon came forth and
shone upon the dead forms- lying in the
forest glade; the calm, sweet-faced girl,
with her serene countenance upturned to
wardthe cloudy sky; and the same light
fell upon the faces uf ihe three Utah braves
who had rushed so madly upon death.—
"Yes; let the pale face die !" said Tiger
Slayer.
Young Ned Merlin looked into the face
of the chief, firm and resolute as ever.
"Great Bear owes his life to this maiden,
Lis daughter. Her hand turned aside the
ball as it sped. The pale-face friend of
Great Bear had forgotten his friendship
for the chief when the chief stood with
hatchet raised ag ainst him. Does the chief
forget ? Does he not remewber well the
pale face's son, who all these years has
been his friend'!"
"But does not the white hunter deserve
death when he creeps like a snake in the
bushes,and turns away from her father
his red child ?"
The stern face of' the chief grow sterner
as he gazed on the young hunter's face.
"My wig wam on the hillside is desolate,
and Lotus Flower would share it with me.
Would the chief slay the man who loves
the red maiden ?"
"Does my white brother wish Lotus
Flower to dwell in his lodge ? Does be
wish her to be his squaw, and to dwell
among the red men ?"
"He does. He has learned to love the
red maiden and would make her his squaw."
"That is well, and the young man shall l i
not die. He does not speak with a double
tongue, and his words are truth. The chief
did not know that his pale-face son could
live with his red brethren. But Lotus
Rolver should never go from amono. '' her
people. My young friend is goof, b ut his
pale face friends are false and bad. They
teach the red man to lie and cheat and
steal. They give him fire water, and then
take away his furs, his rifle and his horses.
They do not obey the Great Manitou, and
his hreath is black against them. Sooner
than lose my child, young pale face should
die.
The knife of the chief severed the bonds
of the captive.
"Let Lotus Flower walk with her pale
brother to the lodge of her father," he
sail.
Tiger Slayer had met his doom, and through
the darkened woods his enemy was fleeing,
safe from all pursuit.
From that day forward Ned Merlin was
the Utah's Nemesis. By night or day he
was upon their track. The report of his
rifle, mingled with the death cry of an In
dian brave, again and again told the sad
story of a maiden slain by the unpitying
hands of her people, and the vengeance of
her pale-face lover on his foes.

Night Life of Young Men.
One night often destroys a whole life.
The leakage of the night keeps the day
forever empty. Night is sin's harvesting
time. More sin and crime are committed
in one night than in all the days of the
week. This is more emphatically true of
the city than of the country. The street
lamps, like a file of soldiers with tor: in
hand, streteh away in long lines on either
sidewalk; the gay-colored transparencies
are ablaze with attractions; the saloon and
billiard halls are brilliantly illuminated;
music sends forth its enchantment ; the
gay company begin to gather to the haunts
and houses of pleasure; the gambling
dens are aflame with palatial splendor;
the theatres are wide open ; the mills of
distraction are grinding health, honor,
happiness, hope out of thousands of lives.
The city under the gaslight is not the
same as under God's suulight. The allur
ments and perils and pitfalls of night are
a hundred-fold deeper and darker and more
destructive. Night life in our eities is a
dark problem, whose depths and abysses
are whirlpools that make-us start back with
horror. All night long tears are -falling,
blood is streaming.
Young men, tell me how and where you
spend your evening, and I will write out
the chart of' your character and final des
tiny, with blanks to insert your names. It
seems to me an appropriate text would be,
"Watchman, what of the night ?" Police •
man, pacing the beat, what of the night?
What are the young men of the city doing
at night? Where do they spend their
evenings ? Who are their associates ? What
are their habits ? Where do they go in,
aad what time do you see them come out ?
Policemen, would the night life of young
men commend them to the confidence of
their employers? Would it be to their
credit ?
Make a record of the nights of one
week. Pat in the morning paper the names
of all young men, their habits and haunts,
that are on the street for sinful pleasure.
Would there not be shame and confusion ?
Some would not dare to go to their places
of business ; some would not return home
at night; some would leave the city ; some
would commit suicide. Remember, young
men, that in the retina of the All-seeing
Eye there is nothing hid but shall he re
vealed on the last day.
Origin of Amber.
Nearly 2,000 years ago, Pliny, the
naturalist, wrote that amber was the fossil
resin of an extinct cone bearing tree, and
modern science can say of it but very little
more. The original amber-producing for
est probably reached from Holland over
the German coast, through Siberia and
Kamschatka, even to North America. One
of the most celebrated deposits is on the
peninsula of Samland, a portion of Prussia,
nearly surrounded by the Baltic Sea. The
northern part of this region, constituting
the promontory of Brusterort, is hilly, and
the coast banks are often 150 to 300 feet
high'. At one time all the amber found
here, even by the peasants in plowing, be
longed to the German Government, the
finder, however, receiving one tenth of its
value. For a piece in the Berlin Museum,
weighing 18 pounds, the finder is said to
have received one thousand dollars. Du
ring stormy weather, when the wind and
waves beat violently against the coast, a
great quantity of amber is washed up. The
total yearly product is, however, apparently
on the decrease, and s' the price of amber
is on the increase.
Professor Zaddach, of Kenigsbei-g, con
cludes that the amber resin must have
grown upon the green sand beds of the
cretaceous formation, which at the time
formed the shores of estuaries where the
lower division of the territory accumulated.
Immediately over the amber producing
strata rest the brown-coal beds, the fossil
plants found in which differ entirely from
the amber bed flora. Many insects and
plants are found embalmed in the amber.
Over 800 species of the former have been
named, and over 160 of the latter.—N.

A Test of Life or Death.
According to the London Medical Picas,
those timid beings who are haunted by ap
prehensions of being buried alive, and who
make testamentary provisions against such
a contingency, may now take courage for
science has supplied an infallible means of
determining whether or not the vital spark
has quieted the mortal frame. Electricity
enables us to distinguish with absolute cer
tainty between life and death, fur two cr
three hours after the stoppage of the heart
the whole of the muscles of the body have
completely lost their electric excitability.
When stimulated by electricity they no
longer contract. If then, when Far
adism, as the treatment with induced cur
rents of electricity fur remedial purposes
is called, is applied to the muscles of the
limbs and trunk, say five or six hours after
supposed death, there be no contractible
response, it may be certified with certainty
that death has occurred, for no faiut, nor
trance, nor coma, however deep, can pre
vent the manifestation of electric muscular
contractibility. _Here there is no possi
bility of mistake, as there certainly was
when the old tests were employed.

Fleuss' new diving apparatus dispenses
with the use of air-pumps, pipes and other
cumbrous appliances, and enables a diver
to carry in his dress an air—supply suf
ficient for a four-hours' stay under water.
The principle of the invention consists in
purifying the exhaled breath by means of
caustic alkali and revivifying it again in
the with oxygen. In this way the diver
breathes the same air over and over again,
minus the carbonic acid and plus fresh
oxygen at every inspiration. The oxygen
is stored in a reservoir in the helmet from
which the diver himself admits it to the
the air space in his suit as be requires it,
a small valve giving him perfect control
over the supply. The apparatus has been
tested in England with the most satisfac
tory results. With much astonishment,
witnesses of the experimental trial beheld
a man completely submerged for half an
hour or more without apparent injury. It
is suggested that this same principle may
be employed in ascending in balloons be
yond the heights yet reached, and in en
tering mines filled with irrespirable gases.
A horse dashes past a series of cameras
at full speed, and in the brief interval of
a single bound Mr. E. J. Mnybridge, of
San Francisco, secures a dozen or more
photographs of the animal in successive
stages of the leap, each picture recording
a diffcrer, t position of the body. To rep
resent the living animal upon a screen by
means of these views, Mr. Muybridge has
now perfected an instrument which he
calls the zoogyroscope. It is a glass ring
or cylinder having upon it a series of the
instantaneous photographs, which, being
successfully illuminated by an oxyhydrogen
lantern as the glass is revolved, show a sin
gle continuous but ever changing picture.
The effect is magical. The separate pos
tures rapidly following each other produce
upon the screen the perfect semblance of
a fast speeding horses, every motion, even
to the shake of the head or whisk of the
tail, being faithful to life. Moving men,
and other animals, besides the horse are
shown in like manner.
Some time ago Prof. D. E. Hughes
noticed that when iron or steel wire is im
mersed in acidulated water for even a few
minutes only it becomes excessively brit
tle, and that this effect is invariably pro
du2ed upon all kinds of iron or steel. He
has since performed some experiments to
learn the cause of this phenomenon, and
has become convinced that it arises from
the absorption of hydrogen by the wire.
He therefore calls the product 'hydrogen
ized iron." Another observer has proven
the curious fact that, notwithstanding the
brittleness produced, the tensile strength
of the wire remains unaffected. When
the hydrogenized product is heated the
hydrogen is expelled, and it has been as
certained that the gas thus evolved
amounts to twenty times the volume of the
wire.
It is believed that the darkness of the

It has been a quite general belief that

How to Catoh Bass.
When casting for black bass in a river
where there is a current, you should cast
abreast the current and let the flies swing
around with the current without drawing
them in only just enough to kep the line
taut, and when it has swung around so far
as to be directly below you, draw it gently
toward you as far as you can and recover
your line for another cast. Great care
should he taken to have your tackle as fine
as you can and answer the purpose. You
had better lose some fish than to use coarse
tackle. Suppose you met a man and be
tried to hand you an apple stuck full of
needles with the points sticking out. Oa
first sight you raise your hand, but before
it gets to the apple you see the needles
and drop your hand. It is the same with
the fish bait, they see the fraud and won't
touch it. Then you meet another fellow
and he bands you out a nice apple. You
reach and take it without any hesitation.
It is the same way with fish. Have your
bait as near to nature as you can, and use
the same caution as you would to creep on
game when you are hunting, and you will
fill your basket, and people will say you
are always lucky, when luck did not have
anything to do with it. No. I tell you
what filled your basket. It was plain com
mon sense. If you are fishing out of a
boat, so far from you that there is not a
possibility of the fish seeing you, and have
your tackle so fine that they do not see
anything but the bait that the fish live on,
you will fill your basket, and luck will not
have anything to do with it.

Feet Distortion in China.
From Chamber's Journal.
The binding of a child's feet is not be
gun until she has learned to walk and do
certain things for herself, as it would be
difficult, if not impossible to teach her
afterward. The rich bind their children's
feet from the sixth or seventh year, but
the poor do not begin until they are twelve,
or even older. Parents who have been
forced by poverty to sell a daughter as a
slave when she was a child, will bring her
back afterward if they can, and then, no
matter how old she is, they bind up her
feet and marry her as a lady. But the
pain of binding a full grown foot is said
to be most intense. Strong white band':
ages two inches wide, are manufactured for
the purpose. Those worn the first year
are two yards long, and about five feet is
the length worn afterward. The following,
according to Miss Field, is the method
adopted. "The end of the strip is laid on
the inside of the foot at the instep, then
carried over the top of the toes and under
the foot drawing the four toes with it down
upon the sole; thence it is passed over the
foot and around the heel; and by this
stretch the toes and the heels are drawn
together, leaving a bulge on the instep and
a deep indentation in the sole, under the
instep. This course is gone over in suc•
cessive layers of bandage until the strip of
cloth is all used anti the final end is sewed
tight down." To please a Citinawoman,
the "indentation" must measure about au
inch and a half from the part of the foot
which rests on the ground up to the instep.
The toes are then completely drawn over
the sole, and the foot is so squeezed upward
that in walking only the ball of the great
toes touches the ground. Large quantities
of powdered alum are used when the feet
are first bound, and always afterward to pre •
vent ulceration and lessen the offensive
odor. The bandage is taken off only once
a month. At the end of the first month the
foot is put in hot water, and after it has
been allowed to soak sometime the bandage
is carefully unwound, "the dead cuticule,
of which there is so much, being abraded
during the process of unbinding. When the
foot is entirely unbound, it is not unusual
to find ulcers and other abominations. Fre
quently too," we are told, "a large piece o•f
flesh sloughs off the sole, and it sometimes
happens that one or two of the toes drop
off." When this happens, the patient con.
eiders herself amply repaid for the addition
al suffering by having smaller and more
delicate feet than her neighbors ! Indeed
the desire to have small feet is so intense
that girls will slyly tighten their own
bandages in spite of the pain.
Huffy People. People.
One of the oddest things to witness, if
not one of the most disagreeable to encoun
ter, is the faculty which some people have
for taking offense where no offense is meant
—"taking huff," as the phrase goes, with
reason or without—and making themselves
and every one else uneomfortabltjActoth
in; deeper than a mood or more t an a
fancy. fluffy people are to he met with,
of all ages and in every station, neither
years nor condition bringing necessarily
wisdom and nususpiciousne.ss; but we are
bound to say that the larger proportion
will be generally found among women, and
chiefly among those who are of an uncer
tain social position, or who are unhappy in
their circumstances, not to speak of their
tempers. Huffness, which seems to be
self assertion in what may be called the
negative form, and which the plssessors
thereof classify as a high spirit of sensi
tiveness, according as they are passionate
or sullen, is in reality the product of self . -
distrust. The person who has self-respect,
and nothing to fear, who is of' an assured
social status and happy private condition,
is never apt to take offense.
Many and great are the dangers of re
tion with huffy people; and sure as you
are to flounder into the bog with them,
while you are innocently thinking you are
walking on the solidest esplanade, the
dangers of speech are just as manifold.—
The dangers of jesting are, above all, great.
It may be laid down as an absolute rule,
which has no exception any where, that,
no huffy person can hear a joke good
humoredly, or take it as it is meant. if
you attempt the very simplest form of
chaffing, you will soon be made to find out
your mistake; and not unfrequently the
whole harmony of evening has been set
wrong, because a thin skinned, huffy per
son has taken a pleasant jest as a personal
affront, and either blazed out or Bloomed
sullenly, according to his or her individual
disposition and direction of the wind at
the time.
A Wonderful Clock.
The most astonishing thing in the way
of a time-piece is a cluck described by a
Ilindoo rajah, us belonging to a native
prince of Upper India, and jealously re
garded as the rarest treasure of his luxu
rious palace. In front of his clock's disk
was a gong, swung upon poles, and near it
was a pile of artificial human limbs. The
pile was made up of the full number of'
parts for twelve perfect bodies, all lay
heaped together in seeming confusion.
Whenever the hands of the cloak indicat•
ed the hour of one, out of the pile crawled
just the number of parts needed to form
the frame of one man, part joining itself'
to part with quick, nietalic click; and,
when completed, the figure sprang op,
seized a mallet, and, walking up to the
gong, struck one blow that sent the sound
pealing through every Term and corridor
of that stately Castle. This done, he re
turned to the pile and fell to pieces again.
When two o'clock come, two men arose
and did likewise ; and Fo through all the
hours of the day, the number of figures
being the same as the number of the hour,
till, at noon and midnight, the entire heap
sprang up, and marching to the gong,
struck, one after another, each his blow,
making twelve in all, and then fell to
pieces.
