LOVE AT A LICK.
I met her in her peplum
With a atunning parapluie,
I felt that I was done for—
She had come it over me;
She hud come it with her top-knot,
A 1 on a lofty rise,
And her little dmner-plato ehapeau
Down slanting o'er her eyes.
She didn't look like anything
Man ever loved before,
For—you bet—that such a pattern
Never came to light of yore,
Such a funny style of head-dress,
Like a plate for making pies,

Philadelphia Manufactures.
Wo are somewhat astonished to no
j tiee that the Quaker city of Philadel
j phia pots forth a claim to being, not
| only the greatest manufacturing city
jon this continent, but, with the excep
tion ot London, the greatest in the
whole world. We are all familiar
iliar with its advantages as a quiet and
j pleasant place of residence; but that it
I should claim to be a great industrial
; centre, will be news to many. As the
matter is one, however, in which our
! merchants are directly interested, and '
the consumers of goods indirectly, we j
will give a brief synopsis of its claims j
ID 1860, according to the census re-'
turns, there were in Philadelphia, 6,298
manufactories having a capital of 873,
318,885, which employed 98,000 bands,
and produced an annual value of $136,-
i 000,000. Recently, Mr. Edwin T.
Freed icy, a well known author, has
prepared a voluirye ot 700 pages, on
the manufactures of Philadelphia, and
demonstrated that, in 1866, the facto
ries produced over tioo hundred millions
of dollars of staple goods. This is an as
tounding exlubit; no other city on the
I American continent approximates this
amount. In 1855, the State of Massa
jchusetts, including Boston, Lowell, aud
[all her famous manufacturing towns,
! did not produce more than two hun
dred and forty millions. In 1860, Now
York had only seven small Cotton j
Goods Manufactories, and no Woolen j
Mills; Philadelphia is now the commer
cial centre ol two hundred and sixty ;
Cotton and Woolen factories, and has;
besides several thousand hand looms, I
of which the annual product is equal
to that of seventy additional mills of
average size. The class of Dry Goods
manufactured in Philadelphia is of
those low priced staple goods, which
are especially adapted to the wants of
the people of the Middle, Western, and
Southern States. Millions of yards of
Pantaloonery, Cottonades, Checks and
Stripes, Tickings, Osnaburgs, Ken
tucky Jeans, and narrow textile Fab
rics, are made there every year. Of
carpetings, tho product amounts to :
nearly ten millions of dollars; of ready- j
mado clothing, to eighteen millions; of :
refined 6ugar over twenty millions; of
boots and shoes, over five millions; of!
stoves, nearly three millions. Phila-1
delphia claims to have tho largest mil- i
itary goods manufactory, the largest
chemical factories, tho largest cordage [
factory, the largest bookselling house,
and the largest locomotive works and
machine shops in the United States. I
It is quite evident, that her proximity j
to the coal mines and iron beds, her!
I
low rents and facilities afforded me |
chanics for comfortable and eeonomi
;eal living, have given Philadelphia a
; start in manufacturing, which nothing!
but her want of enterprise can retard.j
It is moreover evident that with the
progress already made in manufactu- j
ring, tho Philadelphia market is
worthy tho attention of those who
wish to purchase goods at first-hand. |
Among the most wonderful pro
ductions of fine Penmanship on record
are the following:
Schulter, a German, in 1831 wroto
the ten commandments within a cir
cle throe-fourths of an inch in text.
A clergyman in Buffalo, N. Y., wroto
tho ontiro Lord's Prayer on one line
ono inch in length.
At tho World's Fair in London, was
exhibited a miniature testament writ

A Genuine Ghost Story.
Tho Monongahela Republican says:
'Not very long since, the young and
beautiful wife of ono of our citizens
was called to her final account, leaving
her husband disconsolate, sad, bereft.
She was buried in the adjacent ceme
tery; and the husband returned to his
desolate homo—but not to forget the
loved one. Sho is present with him
by day in spirit and in his dreams at
night. One peculiarity of his dreams,
and ono that haunted him, being re
peated night after night, was this, that
the spirit of his wife came to his bed-!
side and told him that the undertaker '
had not removed from her face the
svuare piccejof muslin or napkin which
had been used to cover her face after
death, hut had screwed down her cof !
fin lid with it upon her; that she could;
breathe in her grave, but was unrest!
on account of the napkin. He tried |
to drive the dream away, but it abided
with him by night and troubled hiin by !
day. He sought the consolations ofj
religion; bis pastor prayed with him
and assured him that it was wicked to;
indulge such morbid fancy. It was
the subject of his own petition before
the Throne of Grace, but still the
spirit came and told anew the story of
her suffocation. In despair he sought
the undertaker, Mr. Dickey, who told \
him that the uapkin had not been re- [
moved, hut urged him to forget the j
circumstance, as it could not be any j
J possible annoyance to inanimate clay
I While the gentleman frankly acknowl
edged this, he could not avoid the ap
parition, and continual stress upon j
- bis mind began to tell upon bis health j
At length he determined to have the i
body disinterred and visited the un
dertaker for that purpose. Here he;
was met with the same advice, and'
persuasion, and convinced once more I
of his folly, tho haunted man returned!
to his homo. That night, more vivid!
than over, more terribly real than be-i
fore, she came to his bedside, and up-j
braided him for his want of affection, !
to remove tho cause of all her suffer
ing. The next night, with a friend,
he repaired to tho sexton, who was
prevailed upon to accompany them,
and there the light of the cold,
, round moon, tho body was lifted from
| its narrow bed; the coffin lid was un
| screwed, and the napkin removed from
the face of the corpse. That night she
: came to his bedside once more, but for
1 the last time. Thanking him for his
' kindness, sho pressed her cold lips to
| his cheek, and came again no more.
Reader this is a true story; can you
explain tho mysteries of Dreams?
The Jewish New Year.
As announced yesterday, the Israel
ites are now celebrating their New
Year—a. m. 5, 628. The origin ot the
festival is given in Leviticus xxm, 23,
j 24, 25: "And the Lord spake unto
Moses, saying, speak unto the children
of Israel, saying: In the seventh
month, in the first day of the month,
shall yo have a Sabbath, a memorial of
blowing of trumpets, a holy convoca
tioo. Ye shall do no servile work."'
Although occurring in the first month, j
it is called the seventh month because
at the institution of the Passover, just
prior to the departure from Egypt, so
important an era was their exit to bej
that God commanded "this month
shall be tho beginning of months.' [
(Exodus XII, 2.)
The cornet, or trumpet, which isj
sounded on New Year is made of a
ram's horn, to commemorate tlidfe
tended sacrifice of Isaac on Mount
Moriali by his father, Abraham, the j
anniversary of which event is at this i
period. Tho blowing of a cornet is a j
rite peculiar to this festival, becauso at j
the beginning of the year tlicy are to
renew their allegiance to their Heaven
ly King, and to remind them of "that
| great day when the great trumpet shall
! sound, and those that are wandering
I about in the land of Ashen and the
outcasts from the land of Egypt, shall
come to worship the Lord on His Holy
Mount at Jerusalem,"
The services of the day are of a
three fold character: Ist. Homage—
to invoke the speedy approach ot the
Kingdom of God, when all mankind
will arrive at the true knowledge of
their Creator, and unite in the worship
of the Supreme Benefactor. 2d. Of
Rememberance—acknowledging the
divine omniscenee and providence. 3d
Sounding the Cornet—to celebrate
that future jubiloo when mankind will
be free from the fetters of error and
acquire perfection in tho knowledge of
their God.
Tho festival is also the beginning of
the ten days of penitence, at the close
of which ia the Great Day of Atone-)
meat.

Chicken* Hatched from fci
1/209 Years Old.
The Paris correspondent of TheNa
j tion states that the guests of the Abbo
Denis, curate of the parish of St Elio,
in the Faubourg St. Antoine, dined a
few da 3's ago on fowls whose immedi
ate ancestors figured, he says, on ttio
tablo of the great Frankish King Dag
obert. When the Abbe Denis laid tho
first stone of tho church and Presby
tery he has built, by his own exer
tions, on the site of the old chateau
and gardens of Dagobort, a hen's nest
fu'l of eggs was discovered beneath tho
ruins of the ancient budding. Thcso
eggs, more than twelve hundred years
old, were about to be thrown away by
the laborers, when the Abbe, remem
i boring that whoat had been grown
from grain found in Egypt in mum
mies dating back from the time of tho
Pharaohs, bethought him that possi
bly there might still be life in theso
I eggs-
A snvant of tho institute, consulted
at once in reference to these precious
relics of an age when there was as yet
no Franco to detest' Perfidious Albion'
or to be jealous of Prussia and needle
i guns, advised their being forthwith
confined to a hen of approved success
in tho maternal capacity. This arivice
having been acted upon the good cure
and his friend had the delight of wit
nessing, twenty-one days afterwards,
. the hatching of a fine brood of chick
ens, tho direct progeny of the deni
zens of King Dagobert's barn yard.
The fowls thus obtained have been
carefully kept from a 113- mesalliance
with their congeners of less ancient
blood; and the Abbo has now a yard so
well replenished with 'King Dagobert
j fowls' that he not only supplies his
iown larder with poultry of this illus
| trious breed, but is about to organize,
at the suggestion of numerous friends,
a sale of 'King Dagobert eggs' for the
i benefit of tho poor of his parish. ■
The Writing on the Hock.
Ages upon ages ago the t ido was out,
and the muddy beach lay smooth as
, this sheet of paper belore me. A cloud
1 passed over the sky, and a shower of
big rain or hail camo down, and pitted
, tho mud as thick as leaves on the
1 trees. A strong wind drove Ihc drops,
so that the impressions were a little
1, one-sided. They had written their
- short history as plain as my pen can
i' write; and oven the direction which tho
1 wind blew was recorded. Some great
1 frogs and lizards which used to live
there, came hopping over the mud,
1 and left their tracks also deeply print
ed on the shore. By and by the great
waves came softly stealing up, and
covered tho whole surface with fine
sand, and so the tracks were seen 110
! more for ages upon ages. The clay
,; hardened into solid rock, and so did
> tho sand; and after these thousands of
, years had passed away, some niasors
1 came upon tho curious inscription.—
J Men of science, who are skilled in
f 'reading these stony leaves of God's
great book, read, as plainly as if they
-had been present, tho story of that
passing shower. It had been written
on the softest clay, but it was read on
solid rocks. So your hearts to day
are like tho soft chiy. Everything
stamps them, but the stamps are not
so easy to remove. They will bo there
when you are grown up to be a man
jor woman. O, what deep, dark prints
I the bad words of evil associates make?
But bow lovely it will be to recall the
| record which kind and loving actions
make upon the soul!
An agriculturist has tried with
J success the following method of making
peaches grow without stones : "Turn
I the tops of the trees down, cut off tho
ends, stick them into tho ground, and
fasten so with stakes; in a year or two
these tops will take root, and when
well rooted cut off the branches con
• jnecting these reversed and rooted
branches with tho tree proper, and
' this reversed peach tree will produco
flue peaches without stones." Tbo
same experiment may be tried with
1 plums, cherries, and currants.
[The result, wo suspect, would ro
' alizo more "experiment" than peach
' os ]
> Gey Corn is now being shipped North
f from tho Southern States, and it is
. pleasant to know that some portions
of that unfortunate section are this
year producing a surplus cf grain.—
The Nashville Press, referring to tho
grain shipment North from that place,
says that the 'sending of corn to Louis
ville and Cincinnati is something be
yond the memory of the oldest inhab
itants. The cause is simply that a
j better price, by some twenty cents', is
j paid in Cincinnati than in Koahvilb.
