small, kingdom. throned behind her
rough pine desk, felnhe Weird, view
less influences of. the season, and
dreamed of the famed land of lotus
. eaters; only thought ; however, the
realities about her fully precluded
anything more serious. Fresh from
a home 'of affluence and plenty, she
had settled down as district school
ma'am, in the little town, of Oxford.
"I'm not going to Saratoga or
Long liraneli this summer, papa,"
had been her reply to, her indulgent
parent, when interrogated as to the
amount of funds needed for her sum
mer outfit. "I'm going into the
country to keep school, grow brown,
drink buttermilk, teach the young
idea how to shoot,'and perhaps bring
home a husband." This last to her
stately - mamma, who stood amazed
at this new freak of her undignified
daughter.
I don't care what yon say," she
went on, in answer to, the Storm of
queries, expostulations and .ridicule:
" I'm tired of being dressed' up, and
stuck up, and aping fa • doll,' and I
mean to go where I can wear my old
dresses, and' descend' from my digni
ty when I please—perhaps do some
good and improve my mind a little.
There's need enough of the last two,
every one knows."
So leaving fashions ble-friends, fine
dresses and nnuiners,iall her irksome
society fetters behind, she went out
into the country tip refresh her
youth, and study nature, for winch
she found a ldrg,e field in her schooL
What an odd study it was. Every
face different, every mind unlike,
habits and inclinations as widely
apart as fire and water; and yet, the
whole had a pew, - strange formatian,
which strengthened and drew- closer
the bond between teacher and pu
pils.
The latter, by the instinct of youth,
soon grew to respect their instruct
ress, and all needs and disputes were
implicitly referred to the "Teacher,"
sure of a speedy and just arbitra
ment. Si) far Lute's mission had
succeeded.
Some individuals of her flock she
had made an especial study; each
was a character in itself, td find
which deeply interested her. Chief
among these was Harvey Bruce: tre
oldest pupil under her control.
He was, one of those specimens of
humanity we instinctively wonder at
.and pity. Wonder at, because of the
constantly recurring anomalies in
the compositiod; and pity on account
of their evident nnadaptcduess to
their station in life.
On her first taking the school, her
attention had been drawn to this
youth, and her pity and sympathy
for his forlornness had been excited
by tile harsh words of his father, at
whose house she was spending her
first week of boarding round.
TOWANDA, BRADFORD COUNTY, PA., MAY 9,1872.
"There's Luke and Asa," weal his
remark, " as smart as 'any fellers in

I am wrong to say boy. - Harvey
was Lute's equal in age, and of man's
stature, so that he literally looked
down on his young instructress; and
as Lute looked at him this afternoon,
and remembered his physical and
mental disparity, her heart almost
sank at the thought of the responsi
bility that rested, upon her in regard
to him.

All the afternoon she sat and
watched him at his desk in a far-off
corner,
his whole attention devoted
to the books and slate before him.
The ptipils evidently congratulat
ed then4selves on the ease.with which
they accomplished their recitations,
for their teacher was too mach ab
sorbed to heed any bnt the most fla
grant delinquency.
School Was over at last; and Lute
watched with relief the exit of the
last of the troop; but as she turned
from the door she saw that Harvey
still remained in his seat, and with
his head leaning on his hand seemed
contemplating something on the,desk
before him.

She passed quietly down the room
and stepped behind him to discover
what it was. To . her surprise, she
found it to be a copy of the view
from the window bywhich ho sat—
rude and unfinished, it is true, but
bearing marks of decided talent.
Lute no longer wondered at the
misunderstanding and depreciation
which the boy met with on every'
hand among his associates.
Those who are of the earth, earthy;
like the man with the,muck rake,Are
totally blind to the intelligence thSt
seeks to rise above the mere striating
for the meat which perisheth.
Lute stood behind him for a feyt
moments, and then finding him still
silent, laid her hands upon his shoul
der. Ho started and looked up,
when she perceived there were terra
in his eves. v
Why, Harvey," said she, with a
pleasant smile, "did you do that?
who tiiught•you to 'draw ?"
"No one, ma'am," replied the
youth; straightening • his- droopinn.
shoulderS. " I've made this a good
many times, but it never' looks as it
does out doois.. I've made things
like *ever since I was a little boy.
I'd like to be a painter, but it's no
use wishing."
" What is to prevent your being a
painter, if von wish' it So much ?"
asked Lute..
"'Taint rio use. Father -says it's
all inoonshinc, and I can get my liv
ing better ways than daubing things
to hang up on the wall; but I won't
work on the farm," and the despond
ent tone grew hard and bitter.
"Still I think you can bo a paintei .
if , yoii try. There's nothing like try
ing, you knoW."I
Lute's synipathi4 were deeply ex
cited. I How could she best Icheer , and
assist this poor, longing, craving,
soul, striving for higher attainments?
A sudden inspiration came to her.
She seated herself at a neighborin4
desk, and told him of the • humble
Italian boy, who, on viewing the
shapes of beauty depicted on canvas
by the gteat masters, felt his soul
thrill within him, and exclaimed, " I
too, am a painter," and thencefor
ward Ibiled on through every difficul
ty, until he had made his proud dec!-
laration a reality, and all Italy bow
ed at the shrine of his genius.
" Thank you, teacher—Miss Ray
mond, I mean. try and be a
painter;, but ho* shall -begin ?" and
then the old•shadow returned for a
moment. " Father won't consent ;
he'll neVer help me."
" God helps him who
self, Harvey. Everything possible
to him that wills. I will help you as
far as I can. I I have some drawing
materials, among my baggage, you
are Welcome to; and I have an artist
friend in the city I will speak to in
your behalf. Now it is time to go ;
see how dark it is growing. Don't
try to thank me," she continued, ob
serving the youth AV,as strugglinr ,
with his feelings in order to sped:.
"I am glad to . do.yqu so small

Goodnight," and Harvey Bruce was
left alone, wondering if one of the
angels he had,read of in his Bible,
had not, in reality, come down from
heaven to brighten his cheerless life.
The next morning Lute was as
good as her word. and Harvey found
himself in possession of a package of
pencils, a color-box, and some draw
ing paper; things of small moment
to Lute in her affluent life, but a
mine of gold to the - recipient.
Nor did her good offices Stop here.
By dint of gentle .coaxing, and deft
feminine wiles, she persuaded farmer
Bruce to give au ungracious consent
that Harvey should study to be an
artist; and from that time forward
tho grateful youth was her devoted
slave and champion, considering him
self Well paid for all his exertion by
even a word or smile.
At the close of school, when Lute
was to go back to her city life, and
Harvey to his studio, the pupils
crowded rand the teacher, who had
so endeared herself tth , all, that they
might exchange good-byes, and iith
der their keepsakes. Lute, after
kind word and smile for each and all,
turned to Harvey, who stood apart
from the rest.
Ho came timidly forward, and
placed in her hand a little sketch of,
the schoolroom, with himself at his,
desk and his teacher near him, as id
the nnforgotten conversation. She

smiled as she took it., and thanked
tho donor with kindest words of com
mendation.
"I don't doubt you will be a paint
er yet, Harvey," said she.
The poor fellow attempted to re
ply, but the words died in wh ispers.
He could only ,ejaculate a huaky
4. g00d-bye," and rush from the
room. •
So teacher and pupil parted, wadi
the years went by until ten were told.
Lute Raymond, ten years older
than when she presided over the lit-
tle district school of'Oxforo, sat wea
-rily plying-her needle, in a.' small
sewing room, in the waning light of
a dull - November day. Her features
were thinner and her face paler than
in the by-gone times, and her faded
black dress told of vicissitudes and
bereavements met and endured. '
• She had knoWn both poverty and
orphanage, and as a hired seamstress
from house to house she was thank
ful by unremitting toil, to • earn the
pittance which kept body and soul
together. Bound her, piled in luxu
rious profusion on the tables and
chairs, were rich silks, delicate laces,
and all the dainty perquisites of faah
ionable attire, seeming like so many
reminders of the light, careless life
left so far behind. -
She bribed her hand across= er
eyes and sewed wearily on.
The door opened, and her employ
er entered, a supercilious lady, bril
liantly dressed, and evidently •acens
tomed to linving her will undisputed,.
How do you progress, Miss Ray
mond?"
Lute, iu reply, brio!) , stated the
amount of work necessary .for the
completion - of the rich garment she
was engaged upon. -
" That is well," was the answer.
"livonld like it to be Anislied to
morrow noon, that I may wear it tO
the reception - at Mr. Bruce's studid;
his last picture is on exhibition, anti
every one will be there. Can you
finish it by that time ?"
" I will try, Mrs. Fawcett ; the
evenings are lona."
"Yery well. c 'You shall be paid
accordingly." And the haughty wo
man left the room.
of
toiled on till the last glimmer
of light had faded, and then she
sought her humble lodging.
Her first care, ere she resumed her
needle, was to go`to a small bex, a
casket of relics, and search among its
contents until she drew forth a small
ill covered drawing, which she studi
ed attentively a fuw moments, and
then laid' slowly away, rejecting the
thought as untenable that the artist
whose name had been mentioned by
Mrs. Fawcett, and her old pup%
were one and the same person.
The next clay, when from her win
dow, she watched the lady enter her
carriage and drive away toward the
painter's rooms, a wild longing 4:ame
over her to see for heiself the 4rtist
whose name was on every lip.
The desire grew stronger - as , she
walked- home iu the early twilight,
and almost without knowing it she
found herself entering the room,' bril
lent with soft light, and
,lined with r
pictures in rich frames.
The . apartment seezaed to be va
cant, and she passed from one pic
ture to another, ignorarit Of the fact
,
that the owner had entered; and was
intently regarding her from a distant
corner.
• ,
At length he observed her pause
before two paintings' which seemed
to enchain her attention irresistibly,
and which hung side by side.lt
softly drew near her and loeked,over
her shoulder.
The first represented a rude,Coun
try school-room, the pupils at their
desks, and the teacher presiding,
with such fidelity that Lute started
as El e recognized - the school at'Ox
ford, Why was such a picture hung
here? The other was very different,
being allegorical in . charaCter. A
mountainous elevation formed its
background, on the summit of Which
a lofty building, rose, partially ob
scured by a golden haze. At t.he foot
of the steep ascent stood , a,seeming
pilgrim, looking wistfully' upivard,
while an angel figure just above, with
outstretched hand and winning face,
waited to lead him pp the rocky way.
Lute had become conscious, while
contemplating the scene, of the fifes
ence of another spectator, and turn
ing met the deep gaze, of the painter
fixed upon her, and colored with em
barrassment. She opened her lips
to speak, but he understood the re
quest before she could frame it, and
'and answered :
_
"nose pictures, madame,'" said
he, "contain the story of my life. I.
was a poor - country lad, awkward
and forlorn, despised by, my associ
area, and knowing only one desire to
rile• above my low estate into the
higher life of art. The Lord sentan
angel to me in the form of a woman,
my teacher at sebdol. By her gene
row words of cheer' and .helping
hand I was enabled to take the first
step in my upward way. All' that I
have, and all that I am, I owe to
her ;" here the artist's voice was
hoarse with feeling. "I prayy, for
blessings upon her night anti' day,
and that I might find her, for I am
told she_ is poor and unknown. I
have lOved her with my - whole soul
since : the day when She told me to
go on in my chosen career ; since, to
the man of firm• will-all. things were
possible. At last my Prayer is an
swered, and she is found. Miss Ray
mond, Harvey Bruce offers you his
love, his wealth and his name. Will
•
you accept then':";`
She had listened in bewildered
amazement; then, with the closing
words the reality of the whole! came
upon her, and with a searching look
into the face above her, she burst in=
to tears. Bat she did not withdraw
the hand he had taken, and he felt
himself answered.' So Lute'
Ray
mond received her response.
Scnars.—Nothing is . trouble
some that we do willingly.
The philanthropist lives .not for
himself, but for the world.
Joys are the flowers. dropped in
our path by the•hand of Providence.
It is difficult topersuade men that
the love of virtue is the love of them - -
solves.
Pleasure is like a eordial—,a little
of it is not injurious, , but, too much
destroys.
7 . TEM;DEATII.OI I SOLOMON.
We find the following in Baring
Gould's curious volume of legend;
of the Patriarchs:
When Solomon had recovered his
throne,' he reigned - twenty years.
His whole reign was , forty years, and
he lived in all fifty-five years. He
spent three years . prosecuting the
building of the temple. ToWardi
the end of his life he often visited
the temple. and remained there ono
or two months. plunged in prayer,
without leaving it. He took his nour
ishment in the temple. He even re
mained a Tear thus ; and when - he
Was standing, with bowed head, in a
humble attitude before God ;" no one
ventured 'to approach him, man or .
Jinn ; if a Jinn drew near, fire fell
from heaven and - consumed him. In
the garden of "Salomon grew every
day an unknown tree. Solomon asked
it,," What is thy name, and what are
thy virtues ?" And the tree answer
ed, "I am called such and such, and
I servo such a pupose, either by my
fruits, t.r by my shadow, or by my i
fragrance." I
Then Solomon transplanted it else
where ; and if it were with medicinal
properties, he wrote in books the
kinds of remedies for ivh . ch it serv
ed.
One day Solomon saw -in his gar
den a now tree, and asked it, " What
is thy name, and what purpose cloth
thou serve ?" The tree replied, 't
serve for the destruction of thetem
ple. Make of me a• staff whereon to
lean." Solomon said, "None can
destroy the temple as.-long as I am
alive " Then he understood that
the tree, Warned _him that he must
shortly die. He pulled up the tree
and' of it made a staff, and, when he
prayed, ho leaned on his staff to
keep himself upright. -
Solomon'knew that the temple was
not complete,and that if he died, and
the Jinns knew of it,they would leave
off building ; therefore lie prayed, " 0
Lordl grant that the event of my
death may be hidden from the Jinns,
that they may finish
_this. temple."
God heard his prayer that the-tem
ple might be completed, and that
the Jinns might be humbled. '• Solo
mon died in the • temple, standing,
leaning on- his st .ff, with his head
bowed in adoration. - And his soul
was taken so gently fom him by the
Angel of Death that the body re
mained standing ; and so he remain
ed for a whole year, and those who
saw him thought he was absorbed in
prayer, and they ventured not to ap.
proach.
The worked night and day
till the temple was finished. Now
God had ordered, the same day that
the soul left Solomon, a little -white
ant, which &venni wood; to come tip
out of the earth under the staff, and
gnaw the_ inside of the staff She
ate a little every day; and as the staff
was very strong and e tont, shejead
not finished if till the end ofthe year.
Thep, when the temple was tlinsbed
at the same
_time the staff was eaten
up, and it crumbled under the
weight of Solomon, and tliebody fell.
Thus the Jinns knew that Solomon
was dead. Now, when the white
ant eats wood, the void is 'filled up
with clay and water by the Jinns •
and this they will continue to do till
the day of the resurrection, in grati
tude to the little ant which announ
ced to them the death of - him who
held.them in bondage, Blf the clay
and' water are. not, inserted by the
Jinn, whence can they come ?
The sages assembled — and enclosed
an ant in a box, with a piece of wood,
for a night and a day; and they com
pered The amount devonred in that
-time with the lenith of the staff.
and thus they ascertained how long
a time Soloman had been dead. -
WONDERS , OF THE LIGHTNING.-
A flash of lightning rushes through
space at such a rate that it might
go from the earth to tho moon 'in
one second.. Then what , time is
is allowed a man's nerves to trans
mit to the brain
,the impression of a
stroke. 'of lightning ? And what
time ha's the brain to understand
such a crash ? Absolutly none !
The flash occurs, , and in darkness a
life is cut off. Experience bears
out this deduction, for Prof. Tyn
dall relates thus his own experience:
."Some time-ago I happened to
stand in the Presence of a numerous
audience with a battery or fifteen
large Leyden jars . charged beside
me; through some awkwardness on
my,part, I touched a wire leading
from the battery and the discharge
ent through my body. Life was
absolutely blotted out for a sensible
interval, without a 'trace of pain.
In a second or so , consciousness re
turned, I Bair Myself in, the pres
ence of the audience aiiirvparatus,
and by the help of these external
appearances immediately,: concluded
that I had received the battery .dis
charges. The • intellectual
,consci
ensness of my position was restored
with exeeding rapidity ; but not so
with optical consciousness. To,
prevent The audience from being
alarmed I observed that . it
.had
often been my desire to receive
such a shock, and that 'my wish
had at length been fulfilled. But
while making this remaik, the ap.
pearance which iny, body t presented
to itself was that 'of a nambei of
separate pieces.' The arms, for ex
ample were detached from the trunk
and seemed suspended in the air.
In fact, memory, and the power of
reasoning appeared to be conplete
long before the roptic nerve was, re
stored to healthy action. Bnt *hat
I wish chiefly to,dwlll upon_ hare
is,.the absolute pinlessness of the
shock ;` and there cannot be a doubt'
that to a person struck dead by
lightning, the passage lToin life to
death occurs wohout comiousness

bee does its part 'of . the labor in
gathering in the stores' and nursing
the young . ; nd I have noticed, for
some years, heir mode - of gathering
pollen for b bread. It is this :
i
When a bee goes out after food, it
alights on some kind of flower, and
gat, - hers a part of its load ; then goes
to , another flower of the same kind,
and prehaps a third,to obtaid aload.•
Another bee goes out, and if it alights
on another flower, it keeps that kind
until it gets a' load, But how is this
known ?' Yon go to the hive and
watch them as they come in ; some
have \yellow Pollen- on their legs ;
other have light colors ;' others have
dark ; but no bee has two_cplprs on
his legs. If you see any, y6IIE - will see
more than I have;-for I never did ;
and I have supposed that they stored
it in different cells, -which confirmed
my belief ' • for I suppose they like a
change of food as well as humans.
Another curiosity is their coining
out and alighting before going off ;
from . among the hundreds I have
hived, I never had one swarm leaie
direct from the hive.
Another curious thing is their rear
sing the• males and nursing them so
tenderly, and after they become , use
less they destroy them. Bat instinct
has directed them to do it.. Another
curious thing is - that, when they get
to be too numerous, the mother bee
should !cal out her lirooi to go
with her, and leave tle others to take,
care of the young. Why not call'
them all out to go with her ? Because
instinct has ordered it otherwise.
Certain ones go out with her while
others are coming in. with stores for
fatnre use.. A certain part of them
don't seem to have any inclination to
follow the 'mother bee, nor do they
mourn the loss, for another is provi
ded. _
How wisely 'the Creator has arrang
ed every part and movement. It is curi
ous, too, hbw the eggs•of_ the drone
cells arei all workers. We would
suppose they would get mixed np like
hen's eggs. Again, when they want
aqueen; why not make a mistake
sometimes and take• a drone egg?
And also, by feeding a - certainkind
of food, make a" queen instead of a
worker? — Again, the, queen , before
she is hatched, is head 'downward,
which would seem to be unnatural.
But the All-wise has made every
part perfect,
TIIE TIDES.- - - The tides purify and
wash the shore's, clearing and sweep
ing our ports ; the currents, which
result therefomi, di - sencumber our
roadsteads of the masses of mud
which load them, clear the mouths of
rivers,antiproduce a pure and whole
some freshness. These undulations
of the ocealf,theSe powerful pulsations
of the waterAnfluencecl by stars which
are separated from our planet by
millions ofleagnei: nor have they less
mathematical regularity than that
which directs those \planetary' bodies
themselves. At _ a 'fixed hour the
formidable masses of: water, raised --
by an invisible power, rise and, ap
proach the shofe. They rise, they
precipitate themselves with resistless
power, but only to. Stop gently at 'a
precise moment„ without ever pass
ing the boundary which nature has
traced. It is surely an honor to the
human race to have succeded in cal
culating the very hour—nay the ex
act minute—in which the oscillations
of the sea begin and end in every
part of our globe. • Nevertheless, as
yet unknown combinations will, at
times, Treat:ice terrible disasters,
thatnannot be avoided by any fore
sight or precaution. Thus, occasion
ally, a - powerful wind happens to
blow in the same' direction with the
tide, and gives it: incredible force and
fury. No lofty embankment reared
by the hand of man, no rocky ram
part raised by:-Nature herself, can
then withstand its power; and towns
axeswept away in an instant, and
t onsands ofpersons lose their lives.
In some parts of the globe the tide
produces remarkable . effects, from
the peculiar formation of the coast.
which it 'strikes. _The most striking
is that of the island of 31auritius,
where a long, rocky promontory runs
far out into, the sea, and has been
worn by the waves into numerous
caves and. grottoes of marvellous
beauty and grotesqueness. The .
waters have forced for themselvesani
outlet through the roof' of one of
these caves, and when the tidal wave
reachei the coast it fills the cave,and
then, with indescribable grandeur,
flies through the opening to a height
of 60 feet, accompanied by a thun
dering roar, which is heard for miles
out at sea.
Wugx we come to•social, friendly
or general letters, men es
_a rule
fall far beneath Icemen. A man in
love can perhaps spoil more' paper"
than his. beloved one; but . he is act
ing under strong pressure and can
hardly be- taken as an' example.
The average man does not write a
bright gossipping letter—his busi
ness habits lead him to too much
conciseness. Women on the contra
ry seem, especially fitted for - Sic
work ; they. touch upon trifles—
things which men deem uftworthy
of notice---and thereby-put into pleas
ing shape, facts and fancies which
give spice and zest to their letters.
There is no one accompishment
which women possess which deserves
to bo rated higher than that of let
ter writing. It is not to be-sup
posed that wpftien write only4f tri
fles; on the .contrary they . possess
special -aptitude in their treatment
of the better impulses and passions
whith sway human nature. NQ love
letters are so perfect as those of
women, but even in them 'the little
details which man's coarser percep
tions fail to note, are all recored.

THE BOON OF GUESTS.—We haie
all of us felt how depressing is the
sensation felt in' a family circle after
the -departure of their guests.' The
friends who have been staying some
tim'eln,yottr house, not only Aring
to the common stock their share of
pleasent converse and. -companion
ship, but, in the quality of strangers,
they exact u certain amout of effort
for their amusement,which is? titter
for him who gives than for the recip
ient, and they impose that:sinall re
serve which excludes the purely per
sonal- inconVeniences and contrarie
ties, which - unhappily in strictlyfarn
ily intercourse have no space allot-'
ted them for diScussion. It is but
right to say that they who- benefit
most by: and most gratefully ,ae
knoledge, this boon of visitors, are
the young. The elders, sometimes
more- disposed to indolence than
effort, sometimes irritable at the

SOCIAL lloNon.—Every person
should cultivate a nice , sense of
honor. In a hundred different
ways this most fitting adjunct to
the lady or gentleman is often tried.
For instance, brie is the guest of a
family. where, perhaps;the domestic
machinery does not run smoothly.
There is sorrow in the house unsus-.
pected by the outer. ivorld: Some
tithes it is - a dissipated son; whose
conduct is a shame and grief to his
parents; sometimes a relative, whose
eccentricities and peculiarities` are a
cloud on the home. Or, worst of
all husband and wife may not be in
accord, and there may be often bit
ter words spoken and harsh recrim
inations. In any,of these cases, the
guest is in honor bdund to he blind
and deaf, as far as people without
are concerned. If a gentle word
within can do any good, it may well
be`said; but to go forth and reveal
the shadow of an unhappy secret.to
any, evethiir nearest frilid, is an
aet of indelicacy and meanness un--
paralleled, Once in the sacred
precincts of any house, admitted into
its privacy, sharing its life, all that
yon!rtan-seennd , hear is a sacred
trust. It is really as contemptible
to gossip of such things as it would
be to steal the silver or borrow the -
books and forget to return them.
