THE. HOSEITED AND THE HEART.
,111 i DR. J. DE HAVEN. WHITE
' It is a fact, perhaps noticed by few, that the
buds caught by frost cling to the bush all win
tor.
The winds aro cold, the frosts are chill,
And leaves are fallinglast ;. .
While every leaf is swept away,
The rosebud's left the last., "
Sweet emblem of the dying year,
The rosebud still Is left;
While:every hope has flown away,
The heart is not bereft.
Now, like the rosebud and the heatt,
di Who cares for wind or weather;
For, when the spring shall come again,
i They both shall bloom together.
NEW PI AGAZINES.
The best examples of style in the Atlantic
for January are Prof. Lowell's fine poem, "The
cathedral," and W. D. Howells's delightful
paper on Boston Horse-cars. The poem shows
a power of milk shifting from familiarity to
dignity which we seldom find outside the long
rambling poems of Swift and parts of "Tam
O'Sbanter." Prof. Howelis's article, with a
ringing bugle-blast, sununons Frea America to
rebellion against the present form of
THE IlOnsE-CA.II
Not .only are all our places occupied, but the
ialelt full of passengers precariously sup
porting, themselves by the straps in the roof.
The mar platform is stormed and carried by a
i, party with bundles; the driver is instantly sur
ia rounded by another detachment; and as the
Ciiiiiisves away from the office the platform
steps are filled. The people who are thus in
decorously huddled and jammed , together,
without regard to age or sex, otherwise lead
lives of at least ' comfort, and a good half of
them cherish themselves in every physical way
with unparalleled zeal. They are handsomely
clothed ; they are delicately neat in'huen ; they
eat well, or, if not well, as well as' their cooks
will let theth, and at all events eipeusively;
they house in dwellings appointed in a manner
undreamt of elseivhere in the world,—
dwellings wherein furnaces make a sum
mer-heat, where fountains of hot and cold.
water flow at a touch, where light is created or
quenched by the turning of a key, where all is
luxurious upholstery, and miraculous ministry
to real or fancied needs. They carry the same
. tastes with them to their.. places_ .of business ;
and when they "attend divine service," it ls.with
the understanding that God is to receive them in'
a richly carpeted house, deliciously warmed
and perfectly ventilated, where they may
adore Him at their ease upon 'cush
ioned seats,—secured seats. Yet these spoiled
children of comfort, when they ride to or from
business or church, fail to assert, rights that
the vulgarest Cockney, who never heard of
our plumbing and registers, or even . the op
pressed Parisian, who. is believed not to change
his linen froui one revolution to another,—
having paid for,—enjoys. When, they enter
the "full" horse-car, they find themselves in a
place inexorable as the grave to their green
backs, where not. only is their adventitious
consequence stripped from them, but the cour
tesies of life are impossible, the inherent dig
nity of the person is denied, and they are
reduced below the level of the most
uncomfortable nations of the Old
World. The philosopher accustomed
to draw consolation from the sutler
ings of his richer fellow-men, and to infer
an overruling Providence from their diserraces,
might well bless 'Heaven for the spectacle of
such degradation, if his thanksgiving were not
prevented by his knowledge that this is quite
voluntary. And now consider that on every
car leaving the city at this time the scene is
much the same ; reflect that the horror is en
acting, not only in Boston, but in New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, St. Louis, Chicago,
Cincinnati,—wherever the horse-ear, that tin
kles welloigh round the continent, is known;
remember that the same victims are thus daily
sacrificed, without an effort to right them
selves : and then you will begin to realize
—dimly and :imperfectly, of course, *the un
fathomable' meekness of the American
character. The "full" horse-car is a prodigy
whose likeness is absolutely unknown else
where, since the Neapolitan gig went out;
and I suppose it will be incredible to the future
in our own country. When I see such a horse-
Car as 1 have sketched move away from its sta
tion, 1 feel that it is something not only ens
• blematic.and interpretative, but monumental;
and I know that when art becomes truly na
tional, the over=loaded horse-car \%j be cele
brated Ai painting and sculpture. And in after
ages, when the oblique-eyed, swarthy Ameri
can of that time, paising before some com
memorative bronze or historical picture of our
epoch, contemplates this stupendous spectacle
of human endurance, I hope he will be able to
philosophize more satisfactorily than we can
now, concerning the mystery of our stre i ngth
as a nation and our weakness as a public.
Bryant's translation of Homer' yields the
following from the thirteenth book of the
Iliad :
NEPTUNE GOING TO THE AID OF : THE GREEKS.
Ile yoked his - tieet and byazen-footed steeds,
With manes of flowing gold, to draw his car,
And put on golden mail, and took his scourge,
Wrought of lino gold, and climhed the, chariot-
heat..
And rode upon the waves. The whales caine
forth
From their deep haunts, and gambolled round
his way;
They knew their king.. The waves rejoicing
smoothed
A path, and rapidly the coursers flow;
Nor was the brazen axle wet beneath.
And thus they brought him to the Grecian
host.
Deep in the sea there is a spacious cave,
Between the rugged hnbrus and the isle
Of Tenedos. There Neptune, he who shakes
The shores, held back Ins steeds, took off their
yoke.
Gave them ambrosial food ; and, binding next
Their feet with golden fetters which no power
Might break or loosen, so that they might
wait
Their lord's return, he sought the Grecian
fleet.

THE STOCKTON MINING DI MASTER
Two Houses and Inmates Engtallphed...
Fnrther Disasters Feaied.
• A despatch from Mauch Chunk, of Satur
day, says :—At Stockton, three miles from
Hazleton, about five o'clock this morning, the
ground over a mine which had not been used
for fifteen years, gave way, and one block of
houses fell in so quickly that the two families
that lived in them had not time to get away,
except one girl,who had got out of the* luntse,
but not far enough to escape falling in, and was
rescued from the top of a house. The families
living in the adjoining block had just time
enough to get out before the whole block fell in.
Ten persons went down with the houses. Geo.
Swank, his wife and four_ children and Mr.
'Retch, his wife, child' the un
fortunate, and are still in the mine, andmust
certainly be dead. The Hazleton steam fire
engine, has been throwing a continual stream
in the hole since daylight. The firemen are
- doing all they can, and have taken elfarge of
the affair and. extended ropes around the bole,
and allow no persons inside. Trains are run
ning every hour to the scene of disaster. It
will be some time before the bodies are re
covered, as the ground is cracked around for
somd distance and still falling in, and it is
dangerous to work near.'
Later accounts state that the excitement in
the vicinity is increasing, and families in neigh
boring houses are moving out for fear they
will go next. There is also danger of the
mines taking fire.
Messrs. Linderman & Skier arrived at the
scene of disaster this afternoon,and are sparing
no pains to secure the bodies as speedily as pos
sible.
A despatch to the Pottsville Daily .Tournal
gives the following particulars in regard to the
Hazleton disaster :
AmEros, December 18.— This morning,
between five and six o'clock, one of the most
terrible accidents occurred at Stockton, near
this place. Two blocks of houses, containing
ten persons, caved in and were engulpbed-in mines to a great depth. Immediately af
terward it was discovered that the mine was
on fire and it was believed that they would all
burn up. Isaac Rotch and hislvife and one
child, and his wife's mother were in- one block,
and Mr. Swank, wife and four children in
the other. The fire company of the
place was soon on the spot and assisted in put
tiny out the fire. The girl was seen in the
debris, atkl was taken out with greet difficulty.
The causli of the accident was working the
breast in the colliery too near the surface, un
der the houses, there being only about twenty
feet space left when they caved in. Only a few
days before a couple of persons on a truck
Were pitched into a similar hole, where a por
tion of the foundation of the railroad had given
way over some workings that approached too
near the surface. •
"Madame" Wilkie Collins. '
The following was condensed for our "Facts
anti Fancies" last Saturday; but Collius's letter
is too good to be lost: '-•
An amusing correspondence has passed be
tween Wilkie Coiling and the Dutch publishers,
Belinfante Bros., of The Hague. It appears
that they publish the Shavers itf«gazyn, and,
wishing to republish it hi his story of " Man
and Wife," they wrote to him, addressing, him
as " Madame," requesting: his permission to
have it published.' It had been already trans
lated. They presented him with a specimen
number of the new paper : This did not satisfy
him, naturally enough; His dissatisfaction
found vent in a letter which was eharac-,
teristic. At the outset be puts them right
in reference to a " little matter of
detail." He writes: "1 avow it with sincere
regret, but the interests of truth are
sacred. The trumpet of Fame, gentlemen, has
played the wrong, tune in your pars. lam not
the charming person whom you suppose ine to
be. I wear trousers; L have a vote for Par
liament; I yins,sess ; a beard ; in two dreadful
words, L--=4,
am than; This tittle error set right,
let us return to busiOess." He then observes
that, in place of the magazine which they so
kindly send him, he would prefer a little
money, and he asks them to share the profits.
He continues: "Cali the profits, if you like, a
shilling a week, and give me the indescribable
satisfitction of seeing, for thirty or forty weeks
to come this entty 'in my banker's
book : By Messrs. Bellnfante Brothers, Sense
of Justice, Gd. My friend, Baron von Tauch
nitz, of Leipzig, reprints my books for conti
nental circulation. He is not obliged by law
to pay me a farthing for doing so, but he in
variably does pay me, nevertheless. His own
sense of honer is law enough, in this particular,
for Baron von Tauchnitz. Is there own reason
not law (nitwit, also, in this particular,
for Messrs. 13elinfante Brothers ?" This
led to some further correspondence, which re- -
suited in the Dutchmen obtaining Mr. Col
lins's permission, and in the author receiving
a promise that the profits would be divided.
There is a suggestiou'of honesty in this which
way be read by others not without profit.
The Wondere of Water.
The extent to which water mingles with
bodies apparently the most solid is truly won
derful. The glittering
. opal which beauty
wears as an ornament is only flint and water.
Of every twelve hUndred tons of earth which
landlord bah in his estate, four hundred are
water, •ThesnOw-capped"summits of our high
est mountains have many million tons of water
in a solidified form. In every plaster-of-paris
statue which an Italian carries through our
streets for sale, there is one pound of water to
four pounds of chalk. The air we breathe
contains five grains of Water to each cubic foot
of its bulk. - The potatoes and turnips which
are honed for our dinner have in their raw
statg, the one seventy-five per - cent.
and the other ninety per cent. ' of
water. If a man weighing one hundred
and forty pounds were squeezed in a hydraulic
press seventy pounds of water world run out,
the balance being Solid matter. A man is,
chemically speaking, forty-five pounds of car
bon and other elements, with' nitrogen diflitsed
through five and alialf pailfulls of water, this
mingling no .less wonderful. A sunflower
evaporates one and a quarter pints of water a
day, and a cabbage about the same quantity.
The sap of plants is the medium through
which this mass of fluid is conveyed. It forms
a delicate pump, up which the water particles
run with time rapidity of a swift stream. By
the action of the sap various properties may be

Aguirre, Rafael Torrices, Camilo FreiJo do
•`; Sotomilyar, Ante. de la Torriente and Jose
1 Marcos were the presiding • elders. ' (Those
1 marked in italics are Ottletniu) . . The - result of
their deliberations was the preparation of a
' pamphlet, which has been published wig} the
consent of the authorities. Extracts from this
.:.; are as foUottist - ' • *
"The question of slavery is one of life or death
,to Cuba; of life if well resolved, and of death
if badly resolVed, If the project:of Mr. Espar
rago is ablated it will be Well resolved. The'
principal condition of this is that the owners of
slaves receive no indemnity, but that the slaves
V: after being freed be, compelled to remain with
their masters, and that, a bank. be organized
under the following conditions:
"Chapter I. The Government to decree the
! immediate abolition of slavery,without
indem
nifying the owners; the slaves between ten
and sixty years to remain under the patronage
of their ex-owners as bound servants, who are
to give them the same privileges as when they
were slaves (which was two sidttiof clothes, in
sufficient food and very cruel 'treatment,'
and pay in addition to those bbtween ten and
twenty, one dollar monthly; those between
twenty and forty, two. dollars ; and those be
tween forty and, sixty, three dollars monthly.
The freedmen who will not conform to this are
to be banished from the Island. -In order. to
raise the idea of work in the eyes of the negro,
their instructors (the plantation owners) will
try to procure Europeans and Chinese, who
shall also occupy themselves in field labors;
only by these means the ex-slaves can be con
vinced that slavery and labor are not the same
thing."
Buttow comes the cloven foot in chapter 2,,
which is headed, "On the introduction of
SaVage _Negroes into . this Island to be Edu
cated." To quote :
"At the same time tilt emancipation is de
creed, a Junta' of 200 of the principal planters
and merchants shall be formed, to be called,
The Spanish' Christianizing Society for the
Yree Savage Africans in Cuba,' which Society
shall have the exclusive right during twenty
five years to bring them from Africa, convey
the title to their teachers, and the right to
can them to Africa after Ole first ten years.
of the apprentlsage. The free competition in
such a delicate matter might cause great
damage. The physical labor of these scholars
would satisfy all the necessities 'of agricul
nre and (=amerce, and if applied on a grand
~ scale will contribute powerfully toward the
civilization of the whole world. Our Gov
ernment• (the Spanish) will establish at the
most convenient points on the African coast
numerous and powerful, colonies to be called
Spanish Christianizing and ransoming colonies
of the savage Africans. If these colonies
should not furnish the sufficient number of
Africans required in such a case, the Govern
ment and this society will ransom negroes for
that purpose at Angola, Congo, Bengala,
Loando and other places, where formerly the
slave hale was principally in vogue."
Now comes another flue paragraph:
"Thy entire world knows that the large ma
jority or Africans are little better than idiots,
and that the making of a contract with them is
about equivalent to making it with a child
of three years; nevertheless, if some who are
a little bright and possessed of some sense
should present themselves; they may also be,
contracted."
This paragraph speaks for itself. The docu
merit then continues :
"The Colonization Society will pay the bank
$34 for every healthy African brought to Cuba.
The instructors (the planters) will pay to the
Society for every African from $l3B to sl7o,gold,
exclusive of the. $34 to be paid to the bank.
All grown Africans to receive $2 50 monthly,
in order to resolve the grand idea of civilizing
Africa in Africa and Africa in America; bet
this money is not to be paid to the African
excepting one-fourth to every female and one
fifth to every male. the rest to be deposited in
the bank."
The names which I gave above are to form
the first Board of Directors, the document be
ing also signed in addition by Messrs. Jacinto
Larrinaga, S. S. Lasa, Juan Antonio de la
Torriente and J.' A. Baines. (Those in italics
are Cubans.)
Thus we see that' the generally assumed
theory that. the Cubans and Spaniards are dis
tinct peoples and possessed of dis
tinct traits, ideas and ambitions, is a very falla
cious theory and canna be sustained by the
slightest evidence. .I cannot discover any other
difference than that one faction was born
in Cuba and the other in Spline—New York
Times.
An 'Eccentric Ilitiver.—Mr. Dorsey and His
Feasts for Prisoners.
The Hartford Courant says :
o The following, concerning a gentleman
who has deposited with our State Treasurer an
amount of money sufficient to net an income
of $lOO to pay for an annual dinner to the
State Prison convicts, will be read with
te rest :
"H. C. Dorsey, the Rhode Islander who has
given to his own and other States funds, the
annual income of which should be etpended
in roast turkey once a year for the inmates of
the penitentiaries, is thus described : 'lle is a
painter by trade, and conduct's an extensive
and lucrative business. lie keeps no
books, but does everything strictly upon
the rash principle. He makes no re
turn of income to the internal revenue
department. The following scene is said to
have occurred: Enter United States assessor.
'Air. Dorsey, what was your income last year ?'
'Can't say—keep no accounts; you see by that
card my terms are casb, and I live up to them
—never put down one cent with a pen.' 'Can
you not give me some idea of your receipts ?'
'Not the slightesthave, made a bargain with
the Almighty that I will never be richer, anti I
carry out the contract to the-letter; am giving
away all along through the year,
and at the
end of the year have from $2,000 to $3,000 left
to spend in giving prisons roast turkeysl put
on what you pleaseeby way of tux, and if you
should afterward bectime dissatisfied, come
again and take another crack.' I ventured to
' -ask on what -ineornele.was assessed.-
replied, 'on some $4,000 or $5,000:'
';. 4 , He informed me that he comprised a'

But to.return to the carriage.and the Queen.
Beyond the r oceupards, whotn I. have named,
were two other persons, one of whom I must
not overlook. Ile sat in the coupe of the
royal barouche on the side tower& me, and I
bad quickly noticed, blin'as the finest looking
man in the whole promsion. Ile was dressed
in full Highland costume, the chief garment of
which wasa rich black velvet tunic, with a
tartan sash of exquisite colors falling obliquely
over the breast.and back. Ile wore a bonnet
with a cock feather which sat jauntily upon the
head, and his arms were folded with an easy
~ aii, as if he felt be hid no superior in the sur
rounding audience. lie sat directly over the
back of the Queen, and was the nearest to her
person. I had no idea who this conspicuous
figure was and set him down at once as some
Scotch nobleman of great regard; but.. as the
carriage passed I heard a lady near me say,
"She had much better have left him at home!"
"Yes," said the lady who was thus addressed,
"I think so too. It would have shown much
more respect for public opinion!"
In five minutes after this the pageant had
faded from the bridge. In 1E1;8 than an hour
from the time she had arrived in town, the
Queen had regained the railway station; and
by two o'clock was back at Windsor, and in
the midst of the faithful servants who shared
with her the turmoils of the day. I will re
frain from following Aldermen to their houses,
or from occupying the reader with specula
tions as to how they reluctantly laid down their
pomp; it is enough to note that Limdon,which
had put up its shutters at eleven o'clock that
morning, resumed its trade at two. In a few
minutes after that hour I regained the circle of
friends who had sent me forth, awaiting
anxiously to learn bow I had been impressed
with the grandeur of the day.
' "Well," said one of them,: "you wit
nessed the procession, and you saw the
Queen ; tell us, now, just what you thought
of it?"
All 'who were present were English, save
myself, but they were all my friends, as num
berless courtesies had proved ; but they had
been in the habit of speaking as freely to me,
about things American, as I had to them, about
think English ; so I felt at liberty to speak my
mind.
"I
. suppose you have no objection to my
giving you my real opinion?" said I, clasping a
glass of chanipapie that was put into my hand.
"Ohlno," said half a dozen ; " out with it !"
"Well, then, gentlemen," said I, " I think
England can produce funnier sights than any
part of the known world. I have never wit
nessed anything so thoroughly comical as the
procession of to-day. What you could have
done in your Guy Fawkes solemnities yester
day, it is.utterly impossible for me to conceive,
after seeing the burlesque troupe that figured
with the Queen this morning. I no longer
wonder that this country has produced a Dick
ens; my only surprise is, that with the mate
rial which abounds in it, for the ludicrous,
England does not produce a Dickens a week."
"Come, come, now, that is putting it pretty
strong," said one of the gentlemen in a
faint spirit of objection ; but all the party
laughed.
"Well," said another, who was a barrister of
.considerable eminence, and who addressed
himself to the rest, "1 think it is much to be
regretted that her Majesty should have shown
such a want of respect for public opinion
as to have brought that man out with her
again."
"Yes," remarked another, "that scandal had
been lather dropped of late, but this makes the.
whole thing fresh again."
These remarks suddenly flashed back the ex
pressions of the ladies on the bridge, and my
mind gained a new light.
"What man ?" said I. Of whom do you
speak?"
"Why, John Brown," replied the barrister.
"Did you not see him in her Majesty's car
riage ?"
"Was lie the man in black velvet who sat
immediately behind the Queen?" said I.
"Yes," replied the latter gentleman; am
sorry to say it was, and still more sorry to say
that her Majesty was hissed at Paddington Sta
tion."
"Because of John Brown?" said I.
"There could have been no other cause,"was
his reply.
"What do you mean by being hissed ?"
said I. "Did one person hiss, or did two per
sons hiss, or did twenty or thirty persons hiss?"
"Well," said be, "there were certainly twenty
who hissed."
"That was a hiss," said I.
Professor Tyndall Parodied.
The recent meeting at Exeter of the British
Scientific Association called forth the following
curious contribution to gastronomic science,
laboriously modelled on the well-known style
of Professor John Tyndall, much to the amuse
ment of the members :
"Experience has proved that the juice of
three or four lemons and threequarters of a
pound of loaf sugar dissolved in three parts of
boiling water, give saporous waves which
strike the palate at such intervals that the
thrilling acidity of the lemon juice, and the
cloying sweetness of the sugar are no longer
distinguishable. We have, in fact, a harmony
of soporific notes. The pitch, however, is too
low, and to heighten it, we infuse in the boiling
water the fragrant yellow rind of one lemon.
Here we' might pause if the soul of man
craved no higher result than lemonade I
But to attain the culminating saporosity of
punch, we must dash into the bowl at least a
pint of 'rum, and nearly the same volume of
brandy. The molecules of alcohol, sugar and
citric acid collide, an entirely new series of
vibrations are produced—tremors to which the
diiitesf palatelSititinied: - In punch' then, We
have rhythm within rhytbm,and all that philoso
phy can do is to take kindly to its subtle har
monies. It will depend in some measure upon
previous habits whether the punch, when
mixed, will be taken in excess Or in modera-.
tion. It may become a dangerous ally, and
bring a sentient being to the gutter.
.But, ou
the other hand,it may become , the potent in
ward stimulus of a noble outward life."
The famous "but a step" has rarely been
more effectively taken.
