HIE SHADOWS IN TUE VALLEY.
There’s a mossy, shady valley,
Where iho waters wind and flow,
And the daisies sleep in winter,
’Neath a coverlid of snow;
And violets, bluc-cycd violets,
Dl&om in beauty in the spring.
And the sunbeams kiss the wavelets,
Tilt they seem to laugh and sing.
Hut in autumn, when the sunlight
Crowns'tho cedar-covered hill,
Nhadowa darken in the valley,
Shadows ominous and still;
And the yellow leaves, like banners
Of an E)fin host, that’s lied,
-Ting’d with gold and royal purple,
Flutter sadly overhead.
And those shadows, gloomy shadows.
Like dim phantoms on the ground,
•Stretch-their dreamy lengths forever
On a daisy-covered mound.
And I loved her, yes 1 loved her,
• i But the angels loved her, 100,
&> she's sleeping in the valley,
i ’Neath the tiky so bright and blue.
Ami no slab of pallid marble,
Hears Us while ami ghastly head,
Celling wanderers in the valley
Of tho virtues of the dead.
‘ ' "But a lily is tier tombstone.
And a dew-drop,-pure and bright,
w, ' Is the epitaph an ungel
.. Wrote in the stillness of the night,
> And I’m mournful, very mournful,
Tor my Bonl doth ever crave
For the fading of the shadows
’‘From that Utile woodland grave.

the cleanest work : and this is not a recreation
or pastime, or encouragement to others, but as
wont, which was to count in the annual cnlti-!

the needed crop. ITis principles were Demo

About Lock.
Henry Ward Beecher, in a recent Lecture,
R ya:
•*I mny here, ns well os anywhere, import
the secret of what is called good luck. Then;
arc men who, supposing Providence to have an
implacable spite against them, bemoan in pov
crly to a wretched old age the misfortune of
therr lives. Luck forever ran against them and
for others.
One with a good profession, lost his lock in
the river, where he idled away his lime fishing
when he should hove been in the office. Anoi it
er, with a good trade, perpetually burnt up bin
luck by liiti hot temper, which provoked all his
employees to leave Inin. Another with a lucra
tive business, lost his luck by amazing dili
gence tvl everything but in's business. Another,
who steadily followed his trade, as steadily
followed the bottle. Another, who was hon
est and constant at Ids work, erred by perpet
ual uiisjudgmcntfl: ho lacked discretion. Hun
dreds lose their hfck by endorsing and by san
guine speculations; by (rusting fraudulent
men —and by dishonest gains. A man never
has good luck who has a bad wife. I never
knew an early rising, hard working man, care
ful of his earnings, and strictly honest, who
complained of bad luck. A good character,
good habits and iron industry, are impregna
ble (o the assaults of alt the ill-luck Chat fools
ever dreamed of. But when I see a tatter
demalion creeping out of a groggery late in the
afternoon. with his hands stuck into his pock
ets, the rim of his hat turned up, and the
crown knocked in, I know lie has had bad
luck—for the worst of all luok is lobe a slug
gard, a knave or a tippler. *'

Test of Wisdom,
“ A professor of- universal knowledge " had
nut up his sign near the palace of an Oriental
Prince, who suddenly came in-upon the pre
tender, end nut his wisdom to lest.
“So thou Knowest all things.” said Ihc king:
•then tell to-morrow morning, these things on
ly, or thou shall lose thy head: First, how
many baskets of earih there arc in yonder
mountain. Secondly, how much is the king
worth ? and, thirdly, what is the king think
ing of at the time V
The professor was distressed beyond all
measure, and in hia apartments rolled upon the
carpet in agony, for he knew that ho must die
on <ha morrow.
IDs servant learned the trouble, and offered
to appear before the king and take his chance
of answering Jim questions.
The next morning, the servant, clothed tn
his master’s robes, presented himself to his op
pcarancc. and the king proceeded :
•Tell me how many baskets of earth are in
yonder mountain V
‘That depends upon circumstances. If the
baskets are as large ns (tie mountain, one it
will hold : if half us large, two ; if a quarter,
four ; and so on.’
The king had to be satisfied and proceed-
'Now* tell me how much the king is worth ?’
•Well, your Afnjeaty, tho King of heaven
and earth was sold for thirty pieces of silver,
and I conclude you arc worth one piece
This \vfl« so witty on escape that the king
laughed and went on.
‘Now, once more ,* tell mo what I am think*

‘You are now thinking that you ore talking

Tub Diffkukkoh. —The nhootmg of the
waiter at Wilfnr<l*H Hotel by Philip T. Herbert, i
M. U. from California. has produced consider
able sensation. On Saturday it wn« the gcuer- 1
nl tonic of conversation. Some gentlemen of
rabid Free and Know-Nothing principles found
dilDoulty in determining tho degree of the hom
icide. Their embarrassment arose from tho fact
that tho telegraphic dispatch did not state tho
coloror nationality ofthe wailcrwhownskilled.
Tho fact that ho was a mut/fr, however, afiord
cd tho presumption that ho was black: and on
this supposition tho killingwas pronounced
murder, out on subsequently learning that the
deceased was an Irishman, tho/ pronounced it
justifiable homicide.— ih'Hs’g. Union.
The human heart is a wonderful piece of'
mechanism: a 'Unm engine is n clumsy contri- i
wince compand with it Man has two hearts. I
and each of these is double: so that he may he ,
wod lo have flnu hearts. Two of these are for
lini-ht red blood, ami two are for purple or
dink blood. 1 1 is usual in books to cull red
blood at leria! and the purple blood ecuuus but I
uioli ofthvse tun double luarls has Us own set
of artel .i-i anil veins; and the ai li vies of the one
are alums filbd with red. and the arums ..f (
the other with purple blood. The veins, in
like umuiier. of each arc m inverse order—the
unis of the rut heart being purple, and the
veins of the purple being red; tor if the blond
goes out reil it comes buck purple, amt if it ,
goes out purple it comes back ml. It always |
goes out red liotn the heart on tlie Ml side.amt
comes In pin pic lo the heurl on the tight side;
and it always goes mu purple from the heart
on the right side, mid comes m res! lo the heart
on the lyfl side. And thus it makes it mm
lasting round, being converted from purple lo
red by passing through the lungs. Mach heart
lias iis going and returning senes of vessels,in
lluitclv iiiimeious and rambled; ami the blood 1
is forced through them in such a way that n
must go forward, and cannot return, except ,
bv going round the elide; for these vessel* are
all supplied with valves that open only one
way and shut the other: and therefore, were,
the blood to make an ellorl lo return, the v«l- |
ves would close immediately and stop it. The j
clastic nature of the blood vessels, also, is such
that, they squeeze the blood in undulation* or
pulsations, along, closing upon it. ami then
opening to let more forward: ami all tins they
do spontaneously and regularly, the will of
man having t&lJniig to do with it, and no pow
er over their movement.
