Worship In the Woods.
,Wuw rich the embroidered est-]** sprawl
Ota cither side the common way;

With shades between,
Woven with tight in looms unseen.
Tb dandelion's disk of gold
With luster decks the meadows green,
had multiplied a million fold
The daisy lights the verdant scene;
The blue mint's pinnies
hints the bees to their perfume*.
A wrinkled rihlion seems the road,
Ohspooled from silent hills afar;
Bed. like an angel, lifts the load
And in my |<ath lets down the bar.
And here it brings
A tease of life on healing wings.
A summer leisure of the cloud
That wanders with its trumi>etcr.
The wind, is mine; no wrangling crowd
Ajmoys the humble worshiper
In the white tent
Bsnmtli a listening firmament.
O|-lloatiiig on the nnihient air
Rwwi songs of sacred music rise.
And now a voice distinct in prayer
like the lark's hymn, reaches the skies.
And the "Amen"
Vedtoed from the hills and glen.

its dome the overarching sky;

Kroui open windows lifted high;
Under the firs
Soft dun lows shield the worshiper*.

Tin •re was a high frolic going on hi
small town of Southern France one
Sbc summer morning toward the end
•f the last century. The groat looal
fair, which only came once in six
■untlis. was in full swing, and the
little market-place of the town,
witli its old-fashioned fountain in the
middle, and its tall dark houses all
round, was crowded to overflowing.
Hero was a juggler eating lire, or pull
ing ribbons out of his mouth by the
yard, amid a ring of wondering peas
ants. There an acrobat was turning
head over heels, and then walking <>■
his bands with his feet up in the air-
A little further on a show of dancing
dogs had gathered a large crowd; and
efcise by a sly-looking fellow in a stripiil
frock. leaning over the front of a
wagon, was recommending a eertain
run- ffr toothache, which, however,
judging from the wry fasts of those
who ventured to try it, must have
hern almost as had as the complaint
itself.
The chief attraction of the fair,
how ever, seemed to !*• a tall, gaunt
man, with an iinmistakahly Italian ;
fare, who was standing on a low plat
form beside the fountain. He h;wl j
borrn exhibiting some wonderful feats
•f awonlmanship, such as throwing an,
apple in the air and cutting it in two as
d fnll, turning up his sword and catch-j
iag it by the hilt, striking an egg with it
aoligtitly ;is not to break the shell, and
•(hem equally marvelous. At length, I
having collected a great throng around
him, he stepped forward, and chal
lenged any one present > try a sword
hoot with him, on the condition
that, whichever was first disarmed
should forfeit to the other half a livre
(ton rents).
Several troopers who were swagger
ing alsiut, the market-place, for there
was a cavalry regiment quartered in
the tow n, came up one after another j
to try their livid ujwin him. Hut to,
the great delight of the crowd they all
got the worst of it; and one might
have guessed from the eagerness with
which the poor Italian snatched up the
■amey, as well as from his pale face;
and hollow cheeks, that he did not
often earn so much in one day.
Suddenly the crowd parted to right
and left as a handsome young man, in j
a ftne gold-laced coat and plumed hat,
with a silver-hilted sword by his side, j
forced his way through the press, and
confronted the successful swordsman.
"You handle your blade so well, my
friend," cried he, •• that I should like
to try a lout with you myself, for I am
thought to IK? something of a swords
man. But la-fore we login, take these
two livres and yourself some food
at the French Lily yonder, for you look
tired and hungry, and it's no fair
aotch be twee* a fasting man and a
fan one."
" Now may Heaven Ideas you, my
had, wlmever you may lie!" said the
man, fervently; " for you're the first
who has given me a kindly won! this
many a day. I ean hardly expect to
ha a match for you, but if you will be
pleased to wait hut ten minutes, I'll
0*11) do my liest."
Tbe fencer was as good as Ids word,
and the moment he was seen to re
mnant the platform the lookera-on
crowded eagerly aiound it, expecting a
well-fought bout; for they had all
■ma wliat lie could do, and they now
aaooguiml his new opponent as the
Jtnang Marquis do Mulct, who had the
name of being the best swordsman in
Ma whole district.
Their expectations were not <UHU)>-
pointed. For the lirst minute or so
the watching eyes coiilil hartlly follow
the swords, which flickered to and fro
like (lashes of lightning, feinting,
warding, parrying, till they seemed to
Ist everywhere at nnee. i)e Malet at.
Ilrst pressed his man vigorously, hut
finding him more skillful than he had
expected, he hegan to light more cau
tiously, and to aim at tiring him out.
This artful plan seemed likely to suc
ceed, for the Italian at length lowered
his weapon for a moment, as if his hand
was growing wearied. Hut as Do
Malet made a rapid stroke at him, the
other suddenly changed the sword from
the right to the left hand, and catching
the Mar<piis' Made in reverse, sent it
dying among the crowd helow.
"Well done!" <ri>sl the young man
admiringly. " I thought 1 knew most
tricks of fence, hut I never saw one like
that before."
" I could teach it to your lordship in a
.week," said the Italian. "For a man
of your skill nothing is mssltsl hut
practice."
"Say you so?" cried I)e Malet.
"Then the sooner we begin the better.
Come home with me, and stay till
you've taught me all you know. One
doesn't meet a man like you every
day."
And so for a month to conic Anto
nio Spalatro was the gm-st of Henri de
Malet; and the young Marquis learned
to perform the feat which had excited
his wonder quite as dextrously as the
Italian himself.
White lay the snow upon the Ileitis
outside the blazing sity of Moscow.
The Russians had tired thdr own capi
tal. The veteran ham Is of Napoleon
were fleeing from tire to perish amid
iee and snow.
"Down with the French dog!"
" Cut him to pieces!"
" Send a bullet through him!"
A dozen arms were raised at once
against the solitary man who, with his
hack against the wall, and one foot on
(lie Ikxlv of his horse, sternly confronted
them. Henri tic Malet (now Colonel
tie Malet of the French Cuirassiers)
was still the same dxshing fellow as
ever, though twenty-three years had
passed since he took his first lesson in
fencing from Spalatro, the Italian, of
whom lie hail never heard a word all
this while. Hut if Spalatro was gone,
his 1- aching was not, ami I>e Maid's
sword seellied to be everywhere at once,
keeping the sw arming Russians at bay,
as tie had done many a time already
during the terrible retreat which was
now approaching its end.
" Leave him to me," eritsl n deep
voire from liehiml: "he'sa man worth
lighting, this fellow!"
"Ay, leave him to the colonel,"
ehorusscd the Russians. "He'll soon
settle his fencing tricks."
A tall dark man, who.se close-cropped
black hair was just beginning to turn
gray, stepjwd forward and crossed
swords with De Malet. who, feeling at
once that he had met his match, stood
warily <m the defensive. The Russian
grenadiers watehed eagerly as the
swords flashed and fell and rose again,
while the combatants, brent liing bard,
and setting their teeth, struck, (tarried,
advanced and retreated by turns. At
length I)P Malet, finding himself bard
pressed, tried the blow taught him by
Kpalatro; but the stranger met it with
aw hirling back stroke that whisked the
sword clean out of bis band. Instead
of cutting him flown, however, the
Russian seized him by tbe hand with a
cry of joy.
" There's but one man in the Frenrh
army who knows that stroke," orbs! he,
" ami I'm glad to see you remember so
well what I taught you. Now at last
Spiilatro the officer ran repay the kind
ness shown to Spalatro the vagaUmd.
When I came over here with the Rus
sian prince to whom you so kindly re
coinmmded me. they soon found out
that I could handle soldiers as
well as swords, and gave me a
commission in the army, and here I am,
Colonel Spalatro, with the Cross of St.

A I'rmlnliic pmrnirr,
Anna K. II aw ley, of Delhi, Lonisi- ,
ana, lias patented a button that can be
readily attached to garments without
sewing, and readily removed without i
injury. The button head may be of
any suitable form or material. The
fastener, which also forms the shank
of the button, is a strip of spring
metal, doubled upon itself to form a
llangisi head portion, and its ends are
then bent outward to form projecting
spring posts. The ends of the posts
are again bent outward and backward
to form claws. The fastener is secured
to the back of the button in any suit
able manner, and the posts are passed '
through an aperture in the cloth ami 1
through a slot in a washer back of the
cloth, the elasticity of the spring posts
retaining the claws over the edges of
the washer. To remove the button the
claws are pressed together when the
button is drawn oil.

cifiise a complete rc\ ulsion of feeling
toward her new husband. After broil
ing over her trouble for a day or two
she confessed all to her husband, dc
clarisl she could never love him, and
besought him for the sake of Isith to
leave her. She persisted in this re
quest until an attorney was called in,
who drew up a statement, in which
each exonerated the other from all
wrong-doing, but stated that tln-ir mar
riage was a rash mistake, ami mutually
agresl to separate, and eaeh grant the
other a divorce when the law would
permit. Mr. (Irillin pleaded with his
wife to change her mind, but to no

How much the South lost before the
war from the waste of cotton seed may
easily la* estimated from the following
statistics. The amount of cotton pro
duced during the fifteen years from
1845 to 1860 was 4(5,675,591 imles, and
for every bale of coMon there were
1,200 pounds of seed, or three times
the weight of the cotton itaelf. The
amount of seed wasted was therefore
28,005,354.6 tons. The manufacture
of oil arid it* products has created such
a demand for cotton aoal that the
price at tin* crushing mill* was alout
$lB per ton la*t year, and will proliably
a virago S2O in the future. At
tin- latter rat** the seed wanted during
the hurt fifteen year* before the war Mas
worth $500,107,002, JTobahlv that
amount represents not more than half
the market value of tin- manufactured
product* of the seed. During the first
fifteen year* after the war the amount
of cotton produced was 50,1
hales, and l)Ut a small part of the seed
it yielded was utilized. The average
annual cotton crop is now not lens than
0,000,0ft0 hid'**, o that the amount of
seed i* 3,700,000 tori*, which ;it s2' jier
ton would he worth $74,000/100 at
whohfale. It is safe to place the value
of the manufactured product* of that
amount of sei*d at $100,000,t00. It will
!*• seen, therefore, that the wealth in
cotton seed i* ahout equal to half the
annual expense of the I'uited Statin
government. When the nation manu
factures all its cotton, as well as util
ize* ;iJ| it* cotton seed, it* tteoinc from
the cotton crop will Is- more than

been ordered for h<-r -ingli-eyed daugh
ter and jiaid for in advance. The eye
was discovered securely packed away
in a little lux, and the lady took tiie
treasure away. The office presented a
neat, business-like appearance. Over
tbe mantelpiece the sign was conspicu
ously displayed:
" A dejMMit required on all eyes -or

Think you can straighten them out?"
"Did they bring any dust home?"
" Loaded down. Money no object."

•• We can match your friends with

They arc made of the fin<*st glass. (Irt

trouhle in putting in or taking out the

"How long will the eye last'?"
"With careful treatment it should
last six months or longer, liut the ma
terial is fragile, and unless handled v<*ry
carefully it is lialdc to hreak. The se
cretions from the lids and lachrymal
gland act ujwin the enamel and in time
d<*strov the smoothness of its surface.
The roughness thus created gives rise
to irritation and inflammation of the lids,
which, if allowed to run its course un
checked, will result in a condition in
which it will Is* impossible to wear an
artificial eye with comfort. It is ad
visable tn remove the artificial eye t>e

good to the artificial as the natural

"Are your patrons principally men or

"Both patronize this house ; hut I
should say there are fewer women than
men."
" Any prominent people ?"
" A great many; but it wouldn't do
to mention any names. When a man
wears one of our eyes it is the perfect
image of his own, and none hut his
most intimate friends know that it is
artificial. You w ill understand, then,
that professional honor requires that
we should keep the nanus of our cus
tomers a secret ."
The house referred to is engaged in
the manufacture and sale of artificial
eyes, and is one of the many in the
same vicinity. The business of im
porting eyes is confined to three
houses. A representative of one of
these said:
"We import the finest French and
tier man eyes; the former are more per

j an average about six eyes a week. We
do no business in the domestic article.
The weekly sales of imported eyes in
