FAMOUS CROWAS.
Tbo oldest of the crowns of Knrope
intho Iron Crownof Lombardy, now ro
otored to its resting place of centuries
in thoXuthedral ot Motua, tlia snnny
little town wuicb, from tho Alpine
slopes, looks down upon imperial Milan,
whither many a time its treasure was
born to be placed on the brows of a
German kainor at bis second corona
tion. His find wus at Acben, by the
tomb of Charlemange, where he re
ceived tho silver crown of Germany;
bis second at Milun, his third at Jiotno,
whore tho Pope conferred on him the
golden crown of tho empire Hut tho
iron crown was the mot Tcnorahlo oi
nil. For 1,300 years the iron crown
has held tho foremost place among the
diadems of Knrope, for it was formed
by the skillful hand of Roman gold
smiths in the sixth oontury, and sent
by l'opo ((jiT('ory tho Great to the
Gothic Queen Theodolinda, when she
hud fieed Lombardy from tho Arian
heresy. Tholoi missiinple, as one might
expect trom its unciont ditto. It is a
Hut ring or diadem of gold, adorned
with enamelled flowers and precious
stones nut cut into facets, as in modern
jowelry, but emeralds, sapphires, and
rubies in tnoir rougn uncut, lorm as
they came from tho mine. But insido
this circle of gold and jewels is a thin
band of iron, from which the crowu
takes its name, and this iron, tradition
asserts, is ono of tho nails of tbo true
cros hammered out into a ring. Long
and angry huvo been the battles
fought by antiquarians on this point.
Those who deny its authenticity, head
ed by Murutori, certainly being weigh
ty arguments to the support of their
view ; but tho tradition has survived
all their learned folies; gallant chain-'
pious liftvo fought pen in bund in its
delonso, and still in the languuge of
the pcoplo tho crown ot Monza is call
ed il tareo chiodo, "the holy nail." It
graced tho inipciiul front of Charlo
munge and a long succession of Gor
man Emperors, ending with Charles
V. Hut tho last sovereign who woro
t was Nunoluon 1. In May 1805, ho
asHcmbled at Milan the dignitaries of
he empire, the representatives ol his
royal and imperial allies, and a splen
did circle of Marshals and Generals,
and in their presonco ho placed it on
his head, repeating the proud motto ol
tho iron crown : "God has given il to
me; woo to him who touches it!" In
1859 tho Auslriuns. retreating from
Lombardy, took the iron crown with
hem to Muntan, and subsequently to
Vienna. There it remained until, by
tbo treaty which ceded Venetia to
Itnlw in 18(1(1. it wus restored to ils
old homo in the sacristy of the cathe-
Iral at Monza, and tboro it rents to-
duy, amid tho othor treasures of Thco-
linda her jeweled com I), her golilen
hen and seven chickens (the s3nibol
of Lombardy and and its seven prov
ides,) and tho crown ot her huxiiund
Aiiilulidi. Next in ago to tho iron
crown, bul fur exceeding it In value
and beauty or workmanship, nro tho
crowns of tho old Gothic Kings of
Spain, discovered Bcvcntoon years ago
near Toledo. They were lound in some
excavations which woro made in an
ancient cemetery at Fucnto di Guerra
zar, two leagues from that city. They
aro eight In number, and their intrin
sic valuo is estimated at 2,000 pounds
sterling. The largest, splendid circle
of gold ono foot in diameter, boars Iho
- ir; t. ...I.-
natno oi -nuig jtoceewnmiup, wuu
reigned in tho middle of tho seventh
century. This diadem is adorned with
nno rubies, pearls, and saphires, and
round il runs a row of little cross of
cornelian and gold.
Of the modern crowns ol continen
tal Europe perhaps tho most remarka
ble is the well-known triplo crown of
of papal tiara, or perhaps wo should
say iaras, for there aro four of them.
The Ltura is seldom worn by lue l'opo ;
it is earned beloro him in procession,
but, except on rare occasions, ho wears
a mitre, like an ordinary Bishop. Of
tho existing tiaras, tho most beautiful
is that which was given by Napoleon
I. to Tins VII. In 1KU5. It is said to
bo worth upwards of JLtl.OOO. Its threo
circlets aro almost oncruBtcd with sap
phires, emoralds, rubies, pearls, and
diamonds; and the great omerald at
its apex, said to bo tho most beautiful
in the world, is ulono valued at lli.OOO
francs. Chamber s Journal.
THE TKVK CINDERELLA.
Many of the best stories in our story,
books are Iho reproduction of somo
very ancient bit ol history or myth ;
and tho finest of all English nursory
talcs. "Cinderella, was once tho deligiit
of the children of .Egypt in tho palmy
days ol the 1'haroahs.
Wo will tell you how It happened
and wo think thai you will suy that
tho old story is quito as clever as the
now. and much mora nrohablo : for in
tho true Cinderella history thcro aro
no fairy god mothers, no mico and no
pumpkins. A wiso old eaglo takes all
tho management of tho slipper, and we
can in fancy see hira carrying it over
the silver sands and dark pyramids ol
Kgypt, without greatly taxing our no-
Del.
Rodolpbo prolty name, to begin
with was the fairest lady in all Egypt.
She had a dainty foot, and wore jew
eled slippers, anil all tho pcoplo gazed
upon bcr with delight when sho walKcd
as though sho were a goddess or a
fuiry.
Ulie went out tfl batho ono day among
tho white lilies of tho Nile. While she
and her maids were sporting in tho
water, great shadow passed ovor
them, and thoy saw an eaglo alight on
tha bank whero thoir clothes had been
lefl. Presently it arose with some
thing in its talons.and wheeling through
tho golden hazes, became a speck in
the clear sky.
When Rrxlolplis came np the bank,
sho found that ono ot her jewelled slip
pers had been carried away, and she
said to hor maids, " l ho eaglo has laacn
It."
And tbo maids said "Then it will
bring you good luck. , Tho oaglo is a
bird of good omon."
So Rodolpbo hobbled bomo with a
light heart, one of her stipporless feet
crushing the lotus blossoms. Her
maids laughed at hor, but sho said
"It is good lack, for an eagle has taken
It."
Far away nn tha Nile lay Memphis,
with her bright-winged temples and
palaces; a city seventeen miles in cir
cuit, tho seat of tho 1'haroahs for near-
ly s thousand years, at this tinit) tht
capital ol ngypt. More wore the spion
did temples of sis, Scrapis, and of tho
snn. and tbo tlirono was now filled
with a l'hsraoh who bad overthrown
eleven othor Kvyptian kings,
His name was Paamrootlciis. His
son, th Pharaoh Nccho, slow Josiah
king of Judah, B. C. CIO. (See 2
Kin us 23).
Ho was lttine in a fool nortino of
hit palace toward evening, i ho crim
son sun was biasing low on tho hot
santl or tha desert, bn mol winrti
tripped with light feet along tho dimp
ling waves of tho Nile, and fanned tho
king as they passed, lie arose, walked
intoan open court, when a great Bhadow
passed above him.
Ho looked up, and beheld with de
light and awo an eaglo descending, and
wheoling abovo his head, with some
thing sparkling in bis talons. He
looked upon tho bird as a messenger
from tho sun.
Ho lilted his arms for joy. Just
thon tho eaglo began to ascend, drop
ping tho glittering treasuro from bis
talons into his bosom.
it was Rodolphe's jowclled slipper.
The noxt day l'sammeticus issued a
proclamation which caused all Memphis
to wonder. Whoovor would find tho
mate to tho iowcllod slipper, which the
eagle had brought to the palace, should
be loaded with riches, and taken into
the ocrvico of the king.
Rodolpbo heard tho great news.
Sho boliuvcd that tbo eagle was indeed
a messenger of the gods to point out
to her bur destiny, no sho camo to
magnificent Memphis, to answer tho
proclamation of tho king.
With ono slipperlcss foot sho ascend
ed the grand porticoes of tbo l'baraobs,
and Btood before the king with down
cast eyes, lilting hor dress Just aoove
her dainty feet a perfect vision of
beauty. Of courso l'sammeticus Im
mediately fell in lovo with her, and
married her, and mado herqticon of all
Egypt.
Thoro wus great oy in all tho daz
zling temples of Memphis when the
man iogo was consummated thoro was
dancing and music, and strewing of
nowoin. All r.gypt was happy.
"HOME, SWEET HOME."
THE CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH Mil.
PAYNE WROTE TUB 80NO.
The Brooklyn Eaqlc, in reviewing
Howard's life of Puyne, says: Mr.
l'tivne, on ono occasion in 1835, while
at New Orleans, wbon queslionod on
tho subject of the musio of "Home,
Svroet Homo," told his personal friend,
.Mr. Jamos Jtccd, ot 1'hiladulphia, that
tho air was not wholly original with
Mr. Bishop, and reluted tho following
pleasant anocdote concerning il. He
said: "First 1 heard the air in Ituly.
Ono beautiful morning, as 1 was stroll-
ng alone amid some delightful scenery,
my attention was arrested oy mo
sweet voice of a peasant girl, who was
lurrying a basket lauen with flowers
and vegetables.
"1 his plaintive uir sho trilled out
with so much sweetnoss and simplici
ty, thut tho melody al once caught my
fancy. I accosted her, and after a low
moment's conversation, 1 asked her
for tho namo of tho song, which sho
could not givo mo, but having a slight
knowledge of muBio myself, barely
enough for tho purpose, 1 requested
her to repeal tho uir, which she did
while 1 dotted down tho notes as best
1 could, it was the air that suggest
ed the words of 'Homo, Sweet Homo,'
both of which I sent to Bishop at tbo
timo 1 was preparing tho opera of
'Clari' for Mr. Kcmblo. Bishop hap
pened to know tho air perfectly well,
and adapted tho musio to words."
This statomont is fully sustained in
tho lcttora of Mr. 1'ayne to Mr. Bish
op, which are introduced in the voiumo.
There bavo been many ridiculous
statements as to tho circumstances un
der which Mr. l'ayno wroto tho words
of his eclebratod song. "Somo," says
his biographer, "havo stated ttiat ho
was residing in London at tha time,
without a shilling in his pocket; others
havo stated that 'on a stormy night,
beneath the dim flickering of a London
street lamp, gaunt and hungry, and
without a plueo to shelter bis poor,
shivering body, ho wroto his inspired
song upon a pieco of ragged paper
picked up from the sidewalk.' "
X h is was not so. l no iuiiors oi air.
Payne abovo quobed, prove diroctly to
tho contrary. Wo soo by his acknowl
edgement to Bishop of tho receipt of
4.HII, that he was comfortably situated
whon preparing "Clan lor tho stage.
W admit that Mi. l'ayno novor, at
any poriod ot his eventful life, accumu
lated any considerable amount of
wealth, but those who knew the state
of bis circumstances know that ho
novor was a street pauper. In a still
later communication to Bishop is an
other acknowledgement for 50 on
tho sum ol Jt-50 which ho was to ro-
ccive tor tho three dramas entitled
"A It Pacha," "Tho Two Galley Slaves,"
and "Clari," all ot which were produc
ed at tho Covent Garden Theatre, un
der the management of Mr. Charles
horn bio.
Mr. l'ayno has never boon "let
alono;" almost every thing he over did
had been doubted, and it is somewhat
surprising that his consulship at Tunis
has not beon denied him ; bul what oi
that? Fools havo boon iound who
doubted that Shaketpearo wroto his
own plays, and thut Poe was the au
thor ot tho "Haven, and, Willi ail
their mooting ol tho question, thoy
never could find any one else who did
porform Iho works. At ono time it
was stated that Jiir. ray no did not
writo tho words of "Home, Sweet,
Homo." Tho assertion called forth in
quiry. Washington Irving was ap
plied to on tho subject, and bis reply
was that ho had boon unablo to dis
cover who clso did, and ho oonld seo
no reason for doubting the authorship.

Thoro aro no windows, but a porfootly

was ornamontod with glorious has re
liefs (you may seo the holes in which
the bolts holding thorn woro placed, to

with bronzo, which l'opo Urban VIII.
not only was vandal enough to strip

cannon, but perpetuate tho act that

Latin inscription over ono of tho door

But doBpito all this tho grand and

standing here upon what was once the
elegant pavement of porphyry and

Vulcan pausing o'er his thunderbolts.
The sides of the vast circle glittered

ancient surroundings. Tho building
is said to be a species of brick-work,
and was coated and venocrod with
marble, but tho exterior coaling was
stripped oil' by tho spoilers of modorn

.V. NOV Eli RE ON DANCING.
Female dancers were first introduc
ed in Iho ballet at an entcrtainmont
given at the court of Louis XIV, in
1(181, and at length tho art was
brought to its greatest perfection by
tho oclebratcd M. Novorre, who was
connected with several of tbo royal
courts of Europe as maitre de ballet
during tho lattor part of tho last cen
tury, nnd who not only produced nn
immenso number of ballot pantomimes
With the greatest succoss, but. has loft
voluminous writings on tho subject.
According to him, few occupations
would seem to bo so important in this
world as that of dancing.
Ha makes it appear necessary for a
ballet master who aspires to anything
liko eininenco in bis prolossion to pos
sess nearly every accomplishment and
virtue possible to man. Ho mentions
mythology, ancient poetry, and chro
nology as forming tho primary studios
of such a person, and suggests that he
ought to possess a genius for poetry
and painting.
In addition to those, ho ought to
have a slight knowlodgo of geometry,
so that be may ba ablo to calculate
tho proportions, Ac., of his figures. Ho
should be nn expert mechanician, and
capable of making small models of any
machinery he may require Ho ought
to bo acquainted with anatomy, to bo
ablo to draw, and to be proficient in
music.
After all this, one is not surprised
to find that M. Novorre rates the valuo
of bis art von' highly. He says, in-
(I, that a ballet should bo a "com-
plcto pantomime, nnd through tho
eyes speak, as it were, to tho vory
soul of tho spectator."
' Explanatory Bpoeeuos will uoeoine
useless a mute biitpoworfuloloqucnco
will be substituted to much better ef
fect each motion will bo a sentence
every attitude will betray a situation
each gesture will convey a thought
each glance n now sentiment nnd
every part will please, because tho
whole will bo a truo and faithful imi
tation of nature."
Ami again; "Tho mere figurod
dances, without meaning, without) the
representation of any ono subject, un
supported by a regular and sensible
intnguo, being no part ol tho drama,
but wondering, if 1 may so, how they
came thcro, are, in my opinion, .as I
havo declared beloro, no moro than
iivortiBcmenls or rocroativo dances,
whoroin nothing is observable but tho
studied exhibition of tho mechanical
difficulties of our nrt."
It must not be supposed that No
vorre was altogether an unpractical
enthusiast. His success In carrying
out his thooriog was so great that on
one occasion ho was publicly crowned
upon tho stage. In any case ho does
not stand alono in bis cstimato ol
dnncing; othor wntors on tbo snmo
subject having expressed themselves
in equally glowing terms. 'I'mtclfy't

HEPCBLTCAN
THE IN VENTION OF PUNCTU-
A T10N.
Punctuation is peculiar to tho mod
orn langnagos of Europe It was whol
ly unxnown to tho Ureoks and lio
muns ; and the lunguages of the East,
although they have curtain marks or
signs to indicuto tones, havo no regu
lar system of punctuation. Tbo lio
mans and tho Greeks also, it is truo,
had certain points, which, liko those
of tho lunguages of tho East, were
confined to tho delivery nnd pronun
ciation of words; but tbo pauses
woro indicated by breaking up the
nttcn matter into lines or para
graphs, not by marks resembling
those in the modern system of punctu
ation, llenco, in tho responses of tho
ancient oracles, which woro generally
written down uy tho priests and deliv
ered to tho inquirers, tho ambiguity,
unties intentional, which wo want
of punctuation involved, saved the
credit of tho oraclo, whether tho ex
pected event was favorable or unfa
vorable. As an instance of this kind,
muy bo cited that remarkable response,
which was given on a well known oc
casion, when tbo oraclo was consultod
with regard to tho success of o certain
military expedition : "Ibiss ot rodibis
nunquam poribis in hello. Written,
as it was, without being pointed, it
might bo translated cither, "Thou shalt
go, and shalt never return, thou shall
perish in buttle;" or, "Thon shalt go
und return, thou shalt nover perish in
bottle. iho correct translation ol it
altogether depends on tho placing of a
comma alter tho word nunquam, or af
ter rtdibis. Tho invention of the mod
em system of punctuation has been
attributed to the Alexandrian gram
marian Aristophoncos, after whom it
was improved by succeeding gram
morions; hut it was so entirely lost in
tho timo of Chiirlcmagno that ho
found it necessary to hovo it restored
by W urnelncd and Alcuin. It consist
ed, as first, of only ono point, used in
three ways, aud sometimes of a stroke,
formed in several ways. But as no
moro particular rules woro followed in
the use of theso signs, punctuation was
exceedingly uncertain until the end of
tho fifteenth century, when the learn
ed Venetian printers, tho Munutii, in
creased tho number of tho signs, and
established some fixed rules for their
application. Theso wero so generally
adopted, that wo consider tho Maniilii
as tho inventors of Uio present method
ot punctuation ; and ulthough modern
grammarians hovo introduced somo im
provements, nothing but a few partic
ular rules have been added since their
timo. Freeman's Journal.
ORIGIN AND SECRECY OF IN-
VENTIONS.
A century ago whatu man discover
ed in tho arts ho concealed. Workmen
wero put upon oath never to reveal tho
process used by theirt mployers. Doors
wero kept closed, visitors rigorously
excluded from admission, and false ope
rations blinded workmen themselves.
The mysteries of cvory crolt oro
hedged in ly thick set lencos ol em
pirical pretentions and judicial affir
mation. The royal manufactories of
porcelain, for example, woro carried on
in Europo with a spirit of jealous ex-
clusivoness. His Majesty of Saxony
was especially circumspect. Not con
tent with tho oath of secrecy imposed
upon his people, ho would not abate
kingly suspicion in fuvor of a brother
monarch. Neither king nor king's do-
egoto might enter tbo tabooed walls
of Meissen. What is erroneously call
ed tho Dresden porcelain that exqui-
Bito pottery ol which tho world has
never seen tho liko was manufactur
ed for 200 years by a process so scvrel
that neither the bribery of princes nor
tho garrulity of tho operatives ever re
vealed it. Otherdiscovories havo been
less successfully guarded, lortuiiotely
for tho world, iho manufacture ol
tinware in Europe originated in a stol
on secret. Few loaders need to bo in
formed thut tinware is simply thin iron
plated with tin by being dipped inlo
Iho molten metal. In theory it is an
oasy matter to clean tho Biirloco of
iron ; dip it into a bath of boiling tin
ond romovo it enveloped with the sil-
vory metal to a place lor cooling. In
practice, however, tho process is of Iho
most difllcult in tho arts. It was dis
covered in Holland, and guarded from
publicity with tho utmost vigilance for
nearly a hall a country. England tried
vain to discover the secret, until
James Sherman, a Cornish miner, cross
ed tho channel, insinuated himself mas
ter of tho secret, ond brought it homo.
Iho secret ot moniiluctiiring cast steel
wns ulso stealthily obtained, and is now
within tho reach of all artisans.

REMARKABLE DREAM.
FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS IN A HOLLOW
TIIEE THE SEQUEL.
The Edouburg(Clorion county) Her
ald tells the following story : For
several rears past a notion poddler
named Goodman, has mado periodical
visits to this county, and during that
time has staid over night soveral times
at tho residence of John Loguo, a resi
dent of Perry township. In fact his
visits havo become so frcquont of Into
that Mr. Logue looked on him aa on
old friend. Ono night lost week tho
samo individual camo camo round and
took lodging as usual. Next morning
ho reluted a singular dream which he
hud had during tho night, to tho effect
that ho had found a hidden treasure in
a tree which stood on Mr. Logue's
farm. Tho peddlor staid in the neigh
borhood tor two or three days, and
made his beadquartors at Mr, Logue's
bouso. For throo successive nights
ho claimed to have dreamed tho identi
cal dream, and on tho morning of tho
third prevailed on Mr. Loguo to ac
company him to tho spot In a denso
wood tho peddler pointed out a largo
ouk tree as iho ono he saw in his vision.
It was apparently sound ot tbo butt,
but about twenty feet np a limb had
been broken off. Mr. Lngtie did not
feel like humoring whut bo supposed
to bo a superstitious whim, but the old
fellow socmed to havo so much confi
dence in his vision that ho offered Mr.
Loguo one-half of tho spoils if he would
help him to cut down the truo. Ho
dono so. When tho tree fell there was
a rattlo of coins near where tho limb
bad beon broken off, ond a small hol
low was found there. !y a littlo chop
ping a larger cavity was found, and
ensconsed therein was "loads of silver."
Doth seemed to bo wild with delight,
and on counting up found tho pile
amounted lo 85,000. Tho peddlor ex
pressed his unwillingness to carry
around so much silver in bis pocket,
and Inquired whero ho would bo likely
to get greenbacks for Lis share. Mr.
Loguo, having considerable money in
his house, immediately transferred to
tho peddler s.ollil in paper money and
took chargo of tho entire bulk of silver.
Iho peddler wont oil and has not since
beon heard from. On endeavoring to
asB some of tho silver it wus found to
lie counterfeit of tho poorest kind. Mr.
Loguo is 2.i)00 out, und tho story ends.
It was a clever job of a gang ol coun
terfeiters which probably inhabit this
county.
I'UNCTVALFrY.
Punctuality is proverbially not a
feminine virttio, yet most necessary to
thoso who seek for employment. As
regards gaining it, tho wholo fortuno
of a woman's lilo may turn on hor
punctuality.
come persons have a most mistaken
notion of punctuality, ond fancy that
it consists in never ueing mtur man
tho timo appointed. With this looso
idea they aro quito content. But to
como beforo the timo fixed for on ap
pointment is an equal wont ot punctu
ality with coming too lato, and is often
qaite as inconvenient to tho other por
son or persons concerned,
Be punctual both in keeping ongago-
mcnls and in your fulfillment of work.
Let tho one bo scrupulously finished on
tho day promised, let the other be kopt
to a minute. Let experience leach
that your word may bo thoroughly
relied on.
Not a word can bo said iiiexcusofor
thoso who aro lato in keening cngago-
cnts, or who promiso what they con
not perform in tho timo specified.
Tbey are utterly Inexcusable. In
them zeal and discretion are aliko
wanting ; cither they hovo undertaken
what they con not do, or thoy aro so
wanting in energy, and so dilator',
thut they will not exert thomBclvca io
do it. In either cuso, much to blame ;
in tho latter, deserving of whatever ill
may bololl them. ' You will do well
rather to overestimate tbun underesti
mate tho timo yot. require for work.
1 bis is on error vou can eusiiy remedy.
But err onco or twico on tho other
aide, and you will find it hard over to
establish a character lor punctuality
And unpunctuality is a fault which, in
sell -defense, an employer con not over
look.
Eatinoi IIaoitb. Tho most univer
sal cause ot dyspepsia is eating too
often, too fust, -and too much. Tho
general rules should bo :
1. r.at tnrieo a (lay.
2. Not on atom between meals.
A. othing alter z ocloek but a
slico of cold bread and butter ond ono
cup of hot drink.
i. spend Dan an nour ni least in

5. Cut tin all meats and hard food
in peo-Bizcd pieces.
0. rsever cot enough to causo tho
slightest uncomfortithiosensnthin after

7. Never work or study hard within
half an hour after eating.
Iho most universal ond inlullible
inyicotion that a porson is becom
ing dyspeptic lis somo nncomforta-
ble sensation enmingon uniformly after
each meal, whether that bo in tbo
stomach, throat, or anywhere cIbo.
Tho lormation ol wind in the stomach,
indicated by eructation, belching; Or
othorwisc, demonstrates Hint dyspep
sia is fixing itself in tho system, Then
thoro is only ono course to pnrsno, and
that is iutulliblo ; cat less and less at
each meal, until no wind is generated
and no uncomfortable sensation experi
enced in any part of tho body. No
modicino over cured continued dyspep
sia ; eating plain lood regularly and
living out of doors industriously will
cure most cases.
Tho doctrine that tho nccossity of la
bor is a blessing, and not a curse, can
not bo insisted upon too strongly. It
is to this very necessity that mankind
owes not only its first redemption trom

advanco in a civilization, from which,
wo trust, a great deal moro may bocx-
