The light waves round It leaping, While laughing sunbeams, bright and free, Play’d o’eraa-lnfantßlcoplng. ■ And far away that bark ingleo . Was o’er bright deep straying, While all around the dimpling sea . With zophrs soft was playing. And oh I ’twos sweet, around that child . To see the ripples dancing; And o’er its brow, so soft and mild, The sunbeams brlgh lly glancing. And oh I I wished that naught ,mtgh t break The angpl-spell that bound It. Or from its dreams the spirit wake That play'd so soft around It, But when far oIT upon the sky, I saw the tempest lower, A mournful tear bedlmm’il mine eye. For that unconscious flower. For still that bark, so frail and light, Was o’er the billows sweeping; And still within, os fair and bright. That Infant form lay sleeping. I turned away, for who could see That child awake to sorrow;, jjbe brightest smllo so swift io Hoc . “That earth from heaven may borrow.” Tor well I knew tho angiy wave. . Would soon In wrath .surround It, And make Its wild and lonely gravo 'Mid ocean weeds that bound it. Ah ! thus, methoiighii on life's frail tide We make bur youthful pillow; And gaily o’er its waters glide, From billow on’to billow. Blitah ! too soon the angry storm Blots out each Vision brightest, ‘ And oft, alas t it wraps the form In which the heart boats lightest. IPktltatJiis.. AEMAITD. A. TRANSLATION A poor workman named Bertrand had six young children, and he was very much troubled bow to support them,, By increasing misfortune the year was ster ile, and bread sold for twice, as much as' the ybar bbMe*' .JJarttirnd labored, day and night; and although he worked very bard, it was impossible to earn even enough of the poorest kind of bread to satisfy the hunger of his famishing cblK dran.THe wits greatly discouraged.' One day he called together his. little family, and with tears in bis eyes he said: "My dear chlldVen, bread has. become so dear that; with all my labor, I cannot earn enough to support you. You see that J have to pay as much for this little piece of.bread as 1 earn in one day* You must be content to divide with the little I can procure j there certainly will not be enougit to satisfy you* but there will be at least enough to keep you from starving/* The poor man could say no more. He raised bis eyes toward Heaven and be gan to weep. His children wept also, and each one said, “May God come to our aid, poor little unhappy ones that we are. Help, our Father, and do not let us die of.hunger.” Bertram! divided bis bread into seven equal parts. He kept one piece for him self and distributed the others among the children. But one of them who was called Arraand refused to receive his por tion, and, said “I cannot take any, my father, I feel sick, eat my share or divide it among the children.” "My poor child, what .is the matter ?” said Bertrand, taking him in bis arms. “I'am sick,” replied Armand, “I am very, very sick, I want to go to bed." Bertrand carried him to his bed, and the next morning, overwhelmed .with grief, be went to a doctor and begged' him to come out of charity to see his sick eon and to help him. The doctor who was a pious man went to Bertrand’s al though he was sure that be should.not be paid for his visit. He approached At maud’s bed, felt of his pulse, but did not Qnd any symptoms of disease. He found that he was very weak, and to reanimate him be wanted to prescribe something; "Do not order anything for me,’ for I will not take anything." "You will hot take it I and why not if you please?” “Do not ask me, sir, for I cannot tell you.” “And what prevents you, my child? You seem to be quite an obstinate little boy.” “Doctor, it is not obstinacy, I assure you." “I am glad to hear it, but I do not un derstand yoti, I will ask your father, who perhaps will not be so mysterious.” “Ah, I beg you say nothing to my father about it.” “You are a vary strange child, I must absolutely Inform your father, because you willnot tell me." . "Oh, sir, be careful, I would rather tell you, but first I beg you will send my brothers and sisters out,” . The doctor ordered the; children to go I out, and then Armand said ; “Alas, sir, in a .time so.hard It is with difficulty that my father is able to earn a little poor . bread- Ho divides .It among us. Each one has a email piece, and be wishes to leave almost nothing for him self. It makep me feel sad to see my brothers and sisters endure hunger. I am the eldest: and have pore strength than they have, i would rather not sat so that they can, divide my. porllou. It is for this thi(f Xpyetend.'.to be sick and: cannot eat, but I beg you not to lot my father know anything about It.” The doctor wiped his eyes and said : “But are you not hungry, my dear friend?” "I hog your pardon, sir I am very hun gry, but that does not hurt me bo much os to see them suffer.” "But you will die eoou If you do not nourish yourself.” - "I feel It, sir, but I will.die willingly ; my father will have ope mouth less to fill, and when I am with the good God I will pray Him to give something to my little brothers and sisters to eat.” The honest doctor felt extrema compas sion and admiration at bearing a child talk so generously. He took him in his arms and embracing him said: "No. my dear friend, yo« will not die. Q od, the father of every one, will take oate of you and your family. Thank Him for having sent me here. I will re turn soon.” Ho ran to hla house aud loaded one of ms servants with all sorts of provisions, and returned with him quickly to Ar aud and his famishing brothers.

As soon ns the prince was told whai the brave little Armaud had done for his father and brothers, full of admiration for so much generosity, he sent for Ber trand and said to him: “You have an admirable child ; I want to be’a father to him also. I have order ed to be given you every year in my name the sum of a hundred crowns, Armand and all your children shall.be educated at my expense In any traid© that they choose, and if they profit by It I will have the care of their fortunes.’* ■ Bertrand returned home overcome with Joy, and throwing himself, upon his knees thanked God for having given him such a worthy child. An Englishman's Mistake. The Continental papers nre circuia ting a story of an Englishman and his wife who, not knowing a word of Ger man, but being able to express them selves well in French, resolved to vis it Berlin and Dresden. Atßeriin’they had been recommended a hotel, width er they were riding in a hack, when ail at onee the lady espied 'an, imposing edifice, upon which were inscribed In large lettbfs, the words ‘.‘Hotel Radzie viil.” i . She cried out : “ There is a beautiful hotel, and the situation Is splendid.” “Suppose we go there?”"suggested the husband, , It was dbiie as soon as said. The driver was stopped. There were seve ral ladies about the hotel, but 'none 1 of them spoke either, English,. or French. However, the servants were made to ..understand by gestures that they were to take in the luggage, and the travel ers were ceremoniously Conducted into an apartment. ; ■ ; . The lady asked by signs for a sleep ing room, to which she was led, and, on her return; said to her husband: : “Inever saw In ail my life a hotel so admirably furnished. Come and See the chamber and sleeping room.” .Having dressed, our English folk lunched, and announced to the servant that they would dine at five. They went to walk; On their return a gentleman of distinguished appear ance entered their robm, saluted them, and said something in German, which they did not understand. The Englishman thinking him a lit tle familiar, replied carelessly, in En glish: " Good-morning. How do you ° 0? ’ And the stranger withdrew. A delicious dinner was served. When the servants had gone, “ My dear,” said the gentleman to his wife, “ all this is excellent. This hotel is evidently first class. But it must be veiy dear, and, as a matter of prudence it will be well to ask for the bill to morrow morning.” But he neglected to do bo, and two days more passed like the first. At last tho bill was asked for, but It was not brought. “ I am beginning to be a little un easy, my dear,” said the husband. Surely no one could be better cared for than we are here, but lam persuad ed the charges will be frightful.” At that moment the gentleman of distinguished appearance entered, and the following dialogue took place in French: •The stranger: “lam Prince Badzie vill.” The Englishman (rising and bringing a chair): "To what may I attribute the honor of this visit?” The Prince: “You .have evidently taken this house for a public hotel.” The Englishman: “ Certainly.” The Prince: “ Weil, this is my pri vate house, my hotel.” ' The Englishman was so astounded thathe could make no reply, and could not explain the mistake of his wife, wlip, in the greatest consternation, be gan to tell the prince, in English, that the word "hotel” had caused, her ‘error. , i , The Prince, who saw their.cohfuslon politely expressed'’hie satisifactlbn at having given hospitality to English people, and begged them to re- main a few days longer that ho might enjoy their society. Of course the in vitation was politely declined. The Englishman succeeded in making the servants accept a few presents, and the prince .Insisted. upon -accompanying them to a real hotel in his own car- rluge. Prince Radzievlll is the Rus- sian ambassador at Berlin Tbs Indian at Home. A correspondent writing from Co lumbus, beyond Omaha, on the pacific Railroad, says: At Columbus we found “Lo,” the “noble red man, the son of the forest.” Ho was here in various forms—warri ors, squaws, and pappooses. The “Paw nee Reservation” la only twenty miles from this town, and this explains why the Indians are seen here in greater 1 numbers than in places more to the eastward. The Indians gather around every train, and the squaws, each with a pappooso of her own or a borrowed one, good-naturedly solicit money They use but few words, but these they often repeat: “Pappoosa-thirty cents —give It to her.” “Pappoose—thirty cents—give it to her.” The Indian ap pears to better advantage the farther off you view him. “ Distance lends enchantment,” &c. , . As Indians appear now around rail road stations, they are an unwashed and an uncombed exhibition of human ity. Many were encamped near by, and from those tbqt hovered around our train, one littlo Indian girl, scarcely ten years old, had caught up a little child and tied It upon her back, that she, too, I suppose, might call out VJ '.to thirty cents—glyo it to her.” The Indians, we find, are not held in very high jeatl mation by the people in the Westland our conductor declares that he has been iinabig to find, the flratnian who could tell tell what an Indian was good for.. ■The Indians have ceased to show any hostility to the railroads. Only'once, I believe, have, they attempted.to throw off the train on the plains. Once they tore up the trade, and thus threw oil a freight train.' Afterwards the old chief •who did it explained that he siippbsed that if they tore up the track in odd place it would put the railroad company jun der the necessity of going back and; re lating the whole track, ijut when he saw, the trains running as usual j the very next day, he- said, “ White man tod much for Indian,” and that he should hot trouble the trains any, more. There is one conductor on the Union Pacific who, about three years ago; was attacked by a band of these red. men, scalped and left for dead. He had left his train—a freight train—for a few moments, and had gone only a short distance from the station. Fortunately | ho was soon found by Ilia men, tender, ly cared for, at length restored to con sciousness, and finally he fully recov ered Although there is now no danger from the Indians, each train, as a pre cautionary measure; is with tbbpbest arms falid a good Supply of ammunitioij. Even this precautionary measure may soon be dispensed with, 'for the Indlahs will. dot. long be found Where there are railroads and the, activity of business which railroads do : voiop. ~ ■an itoiaha mtop;ee. The Darkest ,of Murder Mysterie^. Henry AV.'Armstrong, a well-known citizen of Madisbn, Indiana, and one of the proprietors of the Madison marine railways,, about eleven o’oiodk bn the night‘of!‘October 17th, under olroumaUhced’ftiat rival in myste ry the celebrated Nathan murder case of 1 New York. The evidence before the coroner’s jury disclosed the following. facts: Mr. Armstrong had not been Jiving amicable with his wife for some time past. During the . .previous two woeJiß.hiß .bMbeenjet and his*partner received a jotter from him, asking . for. information regarding:his famlly. Mr. Jonoa Informed him that hto wife was selling off and preparing to move to Newi Orleans. Mr. Armstrong unexpectedly returned home on the night In question and wont to bis wife’s room; up Stairs,'where, Mrs. Armstrong says, he beat her, abused her In every manner, and finally dragged her down stairs. At the foot of the stairs she screamed, and ho released her. She went up stairs immediately, crying, into a fob® occupied by her two daughters, when presently they heard a pistol shot', the daughters remarking It, but no fur ther attention was paid to it.' Mrs. Arm strong then wanted her sister to go down stairs with tier while she fastened the door through 'which her husband had gone out, and, as she supposed, had left open. This her sister was afraid to do, and Mrs. Armstrong called Andrew Mc- Manaman, who occupies the house next door to come. Mr. MoManaman an swered the summons, and coming Into the yard found the body of Mr. Arch, strong;lying across the walk, with a bul let hole just at the corner of the eye. Upon examining the body, the fore head was found to be covered with brui ses, and one of his hands was somewhat out and torn. These injuries, Dr. Col lins testified, from their appearance had beeu inflicted immediately before death, showing that, the deceased had beeu en gaged 'in a violent struggle. In refer ence to the probability of the wound be ing self inflicted, witness observed that there was but a possibility that such was the case. To Inflict the wound himself, Mr. Armstrong would have been obliged to use the left hand, and hold the pistol In a very unnatural manner: In addi tion to this, were the wound self inflict ed, powder marks would have been found on his face, and the weapon on or near the spot, neither of which facts wore the case. The most mysterious,part of the affair Is how Mr. Armstrong got In the -house.. That bo was lusldo Is proved by thefoot that the body was found without boots, and the boots were foUbd In the parlor. Mr. McManamnn' Stale's , that,,when ho arrived all the doors were fasti ;'Mrs. Armstrong says that she thought he bad entered through the cellar buttbejury, after examining the premises, think be did not. That the case la one, of murder, and not of sulolde, there can be no rea sonable doubt. Abtemus Ward, In one of his letters thus gives his ideas of organization: "I Rover attempted to reorganize my wife bht;dhce. I shall never do It again. I’d been to a public dinner,- and had allowed myself to be betrayed into drlnklrt’ to- several- people's' healths ; and wishing to make them as robust as possible, I continued drlnkin’; their health until my own was affected.

Washington, November, 1872. This Is the State of the district of Col umbia. It hails here sometimes, hence “Hall Columbia.” There are two. towns in D. 0. One is Georgetown and the other is Washington town, and the two together spells George Washington, who was the original father of his coun try, and who was the original cherry tree killer, too. Washington is on the Potomac, “the river of swans,” be tween the Amacosta and Bock creek. Ann Acosta Isa distant relation to Ann Apolis—some miles distant. Washington is tho first meridian of ail American geographers. Its public buildings and ita.publio servants occii py elevated positions; If some of those public servants had occupied still more elevated positions posterity would profit by it. The Capitol is‘a capital building. It’s got a bell pn the top of it. This bell is the Goddess of Liberty, Jn wlnterit’s a cold Goddess of Liberty—cold enongh to be the figure of Just-Ice. It is capi tal punishment for a member of Con gress to go to Washington. When cjonA gress Is In session a darkey is In session too, who scoops up lemonade in a siriip spoon at nothing a scoop, and the body; politic, and the sovereign people too, ran drink gll the sorir Juice and.waters' they want for nothing. STRIKING THINGS IN WASHINGTON. .The most strlklngthlhgs about Wash ington are the .policemen’s .clubs arid the lemon , pepl lying around /loose op the grass at' the Senate end of the Capi tol. 'I appeal to the Senators to have that peel removed. It Is toosuggestlve ,pf tot, whiskey skins arid other wicked drinks to be allowed, to lie : there.

It has two wings, and since Wlgfall left, It has had no hair on Its bead. It has claws, and every once in a while It puts Us clause into the Con stitution, Men have flourished here whose determinations were so dogged, that When they died they were button ed up in catafalques. Prom the way members of Congress eat, they cannot be called torpid livers. THE RAID OF THE LOBSTER-BACKS. , The cornerstone of the Capitol would be an excellent place for a brindle cow to scratch Us back. The angle is per-' feet, It would rub all the brindle off. It was laid Sept. 18, 1793. That was before Susan B. Anthony’s fortieth birthday. It was first used as the seat of Uncle Sam in 1800. . Subsequently one day the lobster-backs came up there on a visit with Em Bargo, the cross of St. George, and, the Cross of St. An drew, and they wore so darned cross they turned to and destroyed the build ing, and Uncle Sam didn’t get another square sit down there again until 181 G. The British won’t get into Washington again until mustard plasters are put, on thermometers to make July warm in Now York. This splendid building commands Maryland, Delaware, and Pennsylvania avenues. The Presi-. dent’s house commands Pennsylvania, Vermont, New York, and Connecticut avenues, and the President commafads the army.

A TALK WITH A SHOEMAKER, There are some excellent shoe shops in Washington, and my insatiate thirst after knowledge led me into one of ’em I have no doubt the proprietor was a perfectly pious leather dealer.

I AEOTHEE-WESTERN WONDER A Eossil Falm Tree in Ooioiaflo-rHow Old is the World 7 [From the Denver City News,] Twenty-one miles south of Denver lie the remains of a palm tree preserved Iri stone. It la on the hillside, looking down npon Cherry Creek, and a hundred feet or mure above the level of the valley of that stream. The soil is similar to that of most of the upland plains in Colorado, and covered at present with a thick crop of grass and weeds. Bunohes of currant; bushes, laden with fruit, cluster about the wooden rocks, and above, to the top of the ridge and along its crest, are scrub by young pines and a few large trees. At the foot of the bill, three hundred yards to the westward, passes the old stage road from Denver to Santa Fe. The traveller, looking up, could see a ledge or mass of rough-looking rocks, rising ten or twelve feet above the surface of tbe ground and about forty feet In length. Camp fires have been builtagainst it and campers have doubtless sought shelter from winter’s storm or summer’s sun under its projecting front, little dreaming that they reclined in the'sbadow of a palm tree. The pupils of a school-house near by have ployed, about It mariy a day. Last winter a hunter for curious specimens stninbled Upon It arid guessed ‘ Its true character. Specimens ’ were' brought to Denver and pronounced by the beat authorities petrlfied-palm wood. But tbe mass was reported. so large that the story seemed incredible. A oarefpl examination reveals the fob towing facts: "Tbe monster tree evl dontly grow wbere It lies, and there has been very little change In tbe surface of the ground at that point since Its fall. Tts fall was towards the north and across a narrow tongue or spur of the hill, near tbe crest, on tbe south side of which It stood.' The unevenness of the ground caused tbe part of tbe trunk now visible to (peak iu two pieces. Theflret, pr butt section, la thirty-nine feet long, and it bos apparently rolled about half.over, down tbe hill. In the heart was either a hollow or a mats of decayed wood, from four to six feet In diameter Tbe upper, side of the log has been btokemup by l the action of the elements and frost, destroy- ing between one-third apd one-half of It? olroumferenoe, and,the ‘ fragment?

The more than half,'ttat remains Intact )s a, huge trough ; the surface of the earth Is, even with ltd brim on the up-hill side and ten feet belowiilt. on the down-hill side. As before! stated,, this section la thirty-nine feet long. As near as pan be dttertnlbed wlthoUt' exoavatlng tbe ad jacent earth,'the dlameter of the tree at ItaTjase l l« twenty-two I feet. 'Midway of Its length, or twenty ftet frdm the base, it.ia flfteen foet "Tbe second section la twenty-one feet long, and evidently lies where It fe|K Striking square across' the. crest of the ridge, the Immense weight almost buried ' It in the earth. Its outlines are bard to determine without digging, but at mid length, or fifty feet from, the, stump, It ia certainly nine feet in diameter., The two :sectlona, as, described, measure Just sixty feet in length. Above that point the body of the tree fell into a,gulch, which has been, since nearly filled up by the wash from the hills above. Digging would doubtless reveal much more of tbe trunk. “ And all this Immense mass of wood has turned to stone, bard and flinty as porphyry. Some of: it looks like agate, finely veined and delicately tinted. Other with opaline lustre; sopae as white os the driven snow, or with the polished lustre of chalcedony, Portions of the trunk/must have . baen rotten, for Its stony remains are honey-combed, and the cattles filled with delicate, crystals' that sparkle In tbe sunlight like real diamonds.
