The Wayside Vision.
On the same sidewalk cool and shady
Five paces in her rear I strolled,
She was a lithe and beauteous lady,
A sylph in motion and in mould ;
And moved past all the fret and fever
Of earthly toil for earthly gain,
Like one whose sunny heart had never
Felt a breath of earthly pain.
Around her form the shadow lingered,
Like same fond wooer loth to go,
And with caresses, rosy-lingered,
The sunlight flittered to and fro;
And there the bolder zephyr hovered,
Won tavors from her neck and hair,
And waved the borderei shawl that covered
Her taper bodice roynded fair;
Or twirled the floating fringe that muffled
• The pearly splendor of her arm,
And dallying clown her kirtle, ruffled
Its buoyant contour's silken charm,
To where, with coy reserve most wooing.
Glimmered the vision of her feet,
Like two coquetting pigeons, zooing
Within and out their looped retreat
She touched the earth with step so airy,
With ports* gay and debonair;
As if the carol of a fairy
Had timed her motions to its air.
And, gilding on, she lett mo dreaming
How far more perfect is her face
The light of that young soul was beaming,
That lent her form such perfect grace.
-The laborer paused, the merchant tarried,
By noisy street, by tradeovcred mart,
As if her very presence carried
A blessing to the jaded heart;
And though unprized the fleet enjoyment,
Each heart turned cheerer to its cares.
For each had entertained ono moment
A wandering angel unawares,
•
She turned aid iMnbihed, but la going

THOSE BLESSED TVINS.
"Well, nurse, •wliat is it inquired
:Tim Twinkleton, placing on his plate
the crud of bread and butter at whie'
his teeth had been nervously nibbling for
the past twenty minutes.
" Oh, sir, it's twinal"
"Food gracious!" exclaimed Tim, over
whelmed with the double blessing that
had fallen upon the matrimonial hearth.
Tim Twinkleton was by trade a jour
neyman tailor, and as good hearted a 1,1-
low as. the sun shed light upon that New
Year's morning. Tim was blessed with a
good wife, who, to aid her partner in feed
ing the ten mouths already provided for'
them—not counting the twins—did the '
washing and mangling fur a number of
worthy families, and did it superbly too,
as I can prove out of their very. months.
"Would you like to step np to see Mrs.
Twinkletoo, sir ?" the nurse inquired af
ter Tim's astonishment had in a measure
abated, "because, if so, WS perfectly con
venient."
Mutual congratulatians having ensiled,
and Mrs. Twinkleton having received the
assurance from her husband s that jie ltud
not been disappointed by the appearance
of two boys instead of a girl—the happy
wife began to talk about arrangements in
connection with the washing and mang
ling business of, the establishment.
"Whose is that basket of things by the
clock?" Tim asked, when he found that
Mrs. T. made no mention thereof.
"Oh, my dear, I'd almost forgotten
-that! It's the Chelmsford washing," she
• replied.
"Is it all mangled ?"
"Yes; I finished it last night with an
effort," sighed Mrs. T., "It's all right,and
only wants to be taken to the station.",
"If I was to make haste, I dare sax I
could get it off by the mid-day tram.
There's always one about twelve o'clock
on Sundays, and the New Year's aas
trains is just like Sundays,' ain't they?
" Well, Tim, if you were to run to the
station with it, it'd be off our hands with
out fear of the children tumbling the
clothes, wouldn't it?"
"So t would," replica the good-natured
Tim, "and I . will do IL"
Prompt to act, Tim ordered the nurse
to take the best care of the twins, gave
P his wife a kiss, and pickin ,, up the neatly
covered basket, shouldered it and started
on his way. He had only twenty minutes
to make the train, but he knew he could
do its and have five minutes to spare.
".Now, then, where's that. washing to
go?" inquired ttie clerk, whose business
for the day was over as soon as the next
train was dispatched.
The official, indeed, hesitated for a mo
ment as-to whether punctuality should
not for once take the place of courtesy ;
but 1118 111 humor wua
when he saw 'rwinkletou's rosy face and
cheery smile beaming upon him.
" Well, as a special favor, I don't mind
booking it," muttered te clerk, who
smelled roast turkey in the air, and was
afraid his own might be overdone if ho
didn't hasten home.
However, Tim was in such a happy
mood that he didn't care whether the
clerk made it a special favor or merely a
matter of business, so long as the clothes
went dispatched; therefore, without being
in the least disturbed or huiniliated by
the others gruffness, be bade him the
customary New Year's salutations, and
made his way homeward just as the
church folk were issuing from their places
of worship.
lie was soon home, was Tim, and his
first inquiry was after the health of his
wife • and then, of course, the present
condition of the twins.
"Mrs. T. is getting on capitally," was
the reply, "for the blessed twins have not
utter,d a cry since you have been gone."
Nurse spoke as if it were a part of her
business, which she fully understood,
that twins should not cry. There was no
little of pride of vocation in her tone,
and Tim was happy.
Tim and the ten who could, and the
nurse, sat down to their New Year's din
ner. As he carved the fat goose, Tins
said in ao very paternal way. " I suppose,
Mrs. Tomkins, it wouldn't do to give the
twins just a little bit, would it?"
Norse smirked and raised her hands in
protest against the very idea cif such a
thing.
"Not even a little bit of the gravy
wouldn't do tot 'em, ma'am ?" •
Nurse again raised her hands and said
simply, "go along." She was anxious for
her portion of the dinner.
Nurse was helped, and dinner was get
ting along, when Tim, whose thoughts
all ran in one channel, asked agaid after
the twins. Nurse knew they were, well,
beCanse they did not cry, but she said she
would go and see.
She had been gone but a second, when
she retarded, "which of on have moved
the basket with the twins in ?" she asked.
Almost ere the words had quitted her
lips, Tim dropped his knife and fork, and
gazed from Mrs. Tomkins to the children,
and froth the children to Mrs. Tomkins,
with an expression of countenance that
made the nurse rush to his side and say,
"Bless me, Mr. Tinkleton ! you aren't ill,
are yo ro n 4 ?"
" R keti what basket ?" grasped Tim.
"Why the clothes-basket that stood
there by the clock. I put'em there be
cause they fell asleep, and it being close
by the fire, I knew they'd be all right."
A loud groan escaped Twinkletoi's lips.
Then,
with his face of an ashy paleness,
he gasped.
"Unhappy woman! that basket con
tained the Chelmsford washing, and Jr,
gone of by the midday train.
Mrs. Tomkine, without a word, snk
into a chair.
"What—what's to be done?" groaned
Twinkleton. "Why don't you speak, Mrs.
Tomkins ? Tell me, ssimebody, what's to
be done ?"
The children, openAmirathed, gazed
with'surprise upon their elders; but in
answer to their parent's inquiry as to
what was to be done, it was oq the lips of
at least Berm out of ten, that perhaps the
best thing to be done, under the °imam
stances, was to.finish the goose and take
up the pudding.
The unhappy Tomkins groaned aloud;
then, swaying herself .backward and for
ward in the rocking chair, began to weep
copiously.
The bereaved father wr..3 the first to
speak; and it was plain to nec that ho was
in a most unhappy frame of mind, and
that his voice was husky, and choked as
his words came forth.
"Come, come," he said," this won't do.
I must go to the station, and mit there's
another train. If there ain't, I must hire
a trap, and go to Chelmsford. Perhaps,
however, when I get there the children
will have been smothered; or suppose,
Mrs. Tompkins, if they've shoved the
clothes in a luggage van, and heavy box
or something's been put a top of 'em, why
they'll be squashed to pancakesl"
"Ohl don't, don't, D e'x talk like that,l
Mr. Twinkleton I" roared Mrs. Tomkins
in a paroxysm of emotion. "Oh, my dar- '
ling little preciouses!"
"Well, ma'am," exclaimed our hero, "I '
think it would be more proper to call'
them m', preciouses, you were so con
foundedly careless with them, when you
had them in charge"
"Oh,Twinkleton, this is indeed cruel,"
was al the,lourse could say, as she worked
hereself to and fro, and wept.
Poor Tom started off hastily, his mind
almost distracted. Ho thought only of '
his twins and their unhappy fate. Ho
looked not to the right; nor to the left—
he only rushed on for the station, and
he never found the distance so great be
fore.
Each new imagining was more horrible
than the last, and seemed to give fresh
impetus to his heels; for instead of de
creasing in •pace as ho approached the
railway station, his footstep grew more
rapid.
"That's the man ; I'd swear to him,"
said a loud voice in Twinkleton's car.
Involuntarily he turned, and ere his
scattered senses recalled a knowledge of
who had spoken, a sturdy constable had
seized him securely by the collar,_and,
drawing his stall; had whispered to , . the
startled Tim that if ho didn't go quietly
to the station, "it'd be the worse for him.
"That's the man ; he came in just as I
was closing the doors, and wished partic
ularly to have the basket booked by that
train.
"Oh, you're the clerk at the station!"
cried Tim, joyously, recognizing the sur
ly tones of the man who, had been in a
hurry, to get home to his dinner, and, ow
ing to the Chelmsford clothes basket
hadn't succeededyet in accomplishing his
wish. "And the blessed twins—are they
all right—arc they safe ? where are they?'
The tad policeman gave the hand that
grasped Tim's collar such a peculiar twist
that thepoor little tailot was nearly
whirled off his feet.
"I caution von not to speak ; cos what
you say may lie . r taken down in evidence
uein ver."
"Oh, you wretch ! and they were dear
little twins too r
These words were evidently spoken by
a female voice; and turning his bead as
far round as the constable's knuckles
would allow, Tim was astonished to see
that a numerous but not select party of
hooting boys and dirty mon and women
were following him with menacing ges
tures.
Poor Tim. He bad'counfed upon each
a pleasant New Year's, and he had been
so happy. Such a blow. •
"What's the charge against mei" in.
quired Tim, in a husky voice as soon as
he could speak.
"Oh, you know well enough, I dessay;
why, abandoning o' binfants in course;
and a good job for you it's no worse," re.
plied hie custodian.
The rough words of the constable made
Tim happy. He felt how that the twine
were safe, and his own inconvenience was
of no consequence. How gratified he was
when he entered the constable's office and
found the basket there and in it the
twins, smiling gloriously, as if they had
not been the innocent cause of all the
trouble, I need not any. More gratified
still was Tim to find in the station-house
an old customer of his employers, who
always specially praised Tim e workman.
ship, and insisted open being measured
for his clothing by Twinkleton alone. It
afterward transpired that the old gentle
man was a friend of the inspector's, and
bad just casually dropped in to give him
a New Year's greeting when the prisoner
Twinkleton was brought in. But for the
presence of the old gentleman poor Tim
Might have had to spend his New Year's
day within the wall of the station-house.
Fortune, however, befriended him; and
the ehrewed intelligence of the inspector,
aided by that of Tim's acquaintaneesoon
proved the real facts in the case. Tim's
feend, in order to recognize the efficiency
of the police, insisted on handing the
constable a gratuity of five shillings; and
as compensation for missing the hour at
which be bad appointed to dine, an equal
sum was tendered to, and accepted by the
railway clerk, and Tim was discharged.
Showering blessings upon all indiscrimi
nately the now happy Tim left the station
house, and it was not long ere he found .
himself once more face to face with Mrs.
Tomkins and his little ones,
Of coarse Twinkleton's first inquiry
was for his wife, and :a load seemed lilted
off his heart when he heard that she was
still asleep, and therefore unconscious of
what had happened to her offspring. The
worthy nurse, when she saw the twins
had not suffered from the checkered
events of the day, gave vent to a flood of
tears that seemed to !relieve her feelings
immensely. Then ; of course, the chil
dren had a few tears to shed ; but at last

• The twins have now become fine,
healthy, roguish lads; and though they
display a wonderful capacity for street
games and all out Alder amusements, per

the first day of their existence—Tim
Twinkleton and his wife have never had

Whipping Iltorses.
There are persons who think that the
spirit and temper of a horse must be
broken to make him valuable. Prof.
Wagner, in his work on the"Rducation of
lionses,"43ayst "I would caution those
who train or use horses (against exciting
-the ill-will of the animal. Many - think
'they are doirig finely, and arc proud of
their success in horse-training : by means
of severe whipping,ar otherwise rousing
or stimulating the passions, and then,
from necessity : crushing the' will through
which the resistence is prompted. No
mistake can be greater than this; and ,
there is nothing which so 'fully exhibits'
the ability, judgement and 'skill of the
horseman as the care and tact displayed
in winning, instead of repelling the ac
tion of the mind. Although it may d be
necessary to use the whip sJmetimes, it
should always be applied judicially, ar.d
great care should be taken not to rails)
the passions or ta excite the obstinanev.
The legitimate and proper of she '
whip is calculated to act upon the sense of
fear entirely. The affections and better ,
nature must be appealed to in training a
horse as well as in a child. A reproof
given may be intended for the geed of the
child, bat if the passions are excited the
effect is depraving and injurious. This is
a vital question, and can be disregarded
in the management of sensitive, courage
ous horses only at the iminent risk of

A Poisonous Fly.
One of the most extraordinary facts re
vealed to us by Dr. Livingstone's explorn
tion in Miles is that the high tablo land
of the interior with its rich agricultural
resources, its fine temperature, broad in
land seas, and inexhaustible stores of
mineral wealth, is rendered all but im
penetrable to civilized man, certainly be.
yond all reach of colonization, by one of
the most apparently insignificant causes,
a fly. This terrible insect is alittle brown,
yellow striped fly called the tsetze, scarce
y lars - cr than our - common hounohold
pests, but whose sting is absolutely fatal.
So deadly is its poison that it is said three
or four flies will kill the largest ox. Soon
after the bite which gives little or no pain,
staggering and blindness comes on ; the
body swells to an enormous size; the coat
turns rough, and in a few hours folk&
convulsions and death. "'And yet this
deadly poison under tho "effect of which
the horse and or, the sheep and the dog
fall as if plague stricken, is perfectly
harmless to man, to wild animals, to the
pig, mule, ass, and goat. Here is an
achievement of science that would bring
glory to the discover—the discovery of
some antedote to the sting of this vene
mous fly, which would open the treasures
of Central Africa to the use of the world.
Decay or 'Eloquence.
Said Senator Thurman, in his address
before Societies of the 'University of Vir
ginia: "It has beentsaid that orators gov
ern republics, but if the remark were over
true, it is true no longer. Had every mem
ber of Congress the eloquence of Demos
thenses, he conld not mould public senti
ment against a cress whose daily issues
exceed 1,300,000 and furnish daily men
tal food to millions of readers."
This fact accounts in some measure for
the decay of eloquence both in England
and America. The days when Pitt, Fox,
Sheridan, and Burke, in the English Par
liament, and Webster, Clay and Calhoun,
in Congress, swayed by their speeches the
wills of their hearers, and moulded pablio
opinion by their utterances, have passed
away never in all probability to return.
Yet there were able and eloquent speech
es made at the last session of Congress,
and notably by Senator Thurman himself,
by the gallant Bayard, 'wins pour of sans
rcproche," and one of the best and young
er race of statesmen, and also by other
Democratic Senators and Representatives.
But they fell in the Halls of Congress up
on ears that were as deaf as adders, and
upon an outside public too much occupied
by other cares to appreciate their lucidity
of statement, their sound logic, and their
scathing exposition of tho lawless acts of
the admftustration and the corruption
prevailing in every Department of the
Federal service. Yet by one class of
readers, "fit though few," they were care
fully studied, and when the times comes,
will be quoted to their honor. It is true
nevertheiess, that Sentorial eloquence has
lost the power it once had to mould pub.
lie sentiment, and that it is the short,
strong, epigrammatic paragraphs of • the
daily press that now sways the popular

Counterfeit nonoy Found.
The quiet village of Fredensburg was
somewhat disturbed last week by the find
ing of a package of, money by it party of
workmen, who were employed in tearing
out the inside - of,a stable.. It, however,
proved to be counterfeit, and their joy
was greatly diminished. The package
contained $6O done up in $5 bundles of
25 cent currency. It was found under
the floor of the entry, and the mice had
mutilated some of it. The promisesupon
which this counterfeit money was found

able widow lady. How it got there is
still a mystery, but it is supposed that
some one bought it from a gang of coun
terfeiters and hid it under the floor of
this stable until a good opportunity Fes
suited itself for passing it.—Reading Re

Origin of Cadet Gray.
In the course of a conversation with
the late General Scott, in the library of
the Military Academy at West; Point, in
the Summer of 1862, the veteran gave to
the writer the following account of the
origin of "Cadet Gray," as the cloth worn
- by the cadets is called : While stationed
at 13nftale in the summer of 1814, Gener
al Scott wrote to the Quartermaster for.a
supply of new clothing for the" regulars.
Word soon came back that blue cloth
such as was used in theasmy, could not
be obtained, owing to, the stringency of
the blockade and , the, embargo, and the
lack of manufactmes in the country, but
that there was n suffietent quantity of gray
cloth (now known as "Cadet Gray) in
Philadelphia. Scott ordered it to bo made
op for his soldiers, and in these new gray
r_dts they marched down the Niagara
"..iver, on the Canada side, in the direction
of Chippewa; It was just beihre the bat

plated them. On account of the victory
won at Chippewa on that day, chiefly by
these soldiers in gray, and in honor , of
Scott and his troops, that style of cloth
was adopted at the Military Academy at
West, point as the uniform of the cadets.

The "Bode of Corti."
"You would :Jay upon me—you would
seem to know my stops—you would sound
me from my lowest note to the top of my
compass." When Shakespeare put those
words into the mouth of Hamlet, did the
poet know that he was stating an anatom
ical fact —that the auditory apparatus of
man is an, instrument of most exquisite
musical complexity, compared to which
the finest harp ~ fErlird seems but a clam
sy failure? For some time past it . had
been known that the human ear contain
ed a series of minute bodiei, called the
"rods of Corti," from the name of their
discoverer; but Dr. Pritchard, in a paper
lately read before the !loyal Society, has
cast new light on these curious appen
dages, and given us fresh reasons to ad
mire the wonderful arrangements of life-
When a sound is communi , ,ated by air
waves to the ear, first the auricle gather
it up, and transmits it to the drum, which
passes it by harmonious vibration through
the middle to the internal portion of the
organ, Here it is appreciated merely es a
Sound, its direction and volume being al
so recorded ; but hydistinguish the note
of the sound, it is passed into the cochler,
a spiral canal from the axis of which pro
ceeds a tiny plate of bone;, this in turn
gives out two membranes, and -between
these lie the "rods of Corti." Looked at
from above, they resembles double row of
piano-forte hammers; but the enter rods
as they wind up the spiral axis increase in
length more rapidly than the inner,
whereas the latter augment in number, so
that near the apex- the outer rods are
twice as long as the inner, while to 3,-
500 outer rods it is com_puted that there
are 5,000 inner ones. Under this dole
cats and perfect sounding-board are clue
tered nerves and nerve-cello, which
serve to bear the impression of
any iibratioe,rod to the brain ; and with
so vast a keyboard it is plain that not
merely semi-tones, but tenths and even
fiftieths oftones, must be recognized by
the consummate recording apparatus. It

plate of bone before mentioned, that the
sound is thrown id order to decide its
note, and however fine or faint, that
sound discovers some one of the perfectly
attuned rods which will leap into vibra

a melodic, or harmonic telegram to the
sensorium.—London Telegraph.
Coolness and. Courage.
Not long since a Swiss shepherd boy,
only fourteen years of age, was tending a
flock of sheep among the hale in the
Canton Grisons, when a bear , mace a raid
upon the flock and seized two of the fin
est sheep. The courageous little fellow
attempted to drive the bear off by bea
ting him with a stick, but brain turned
upon him, and there was seemin,g ly no
escape. Suddenly the lad bethought
himself of a narrow ravine, 300 feet deep,
close by, across which he thought he
could leap, while he hoped that the 'bear
would not notice it, and fall 'to the bot
tom. Dashing on, half-wild with excite
ment and dread, ho reached the edge of
the precipice, the bear close at his heeli.
The chasm was upwards of, six feet wide,
but the lad cleared it by a desperate bound,
and landed safely on the opposite side.
The bear, as he hoped, did not see tit:
ravine, and fell headlong to the bottom,
where bruised and bleeding, and unable
to rise, the shepherd lad succeeded in kil
ling the animal by dashing out his brains
with heavy stoner.

A Cool Robber.
Policeman Badger, of the Tenth station,
had a bit of experience last winter which
he is not fond of talking about. It' wag
past midnight as he was leianrly pursuing
his beat through Jessup sheet, andas he
came opposite toDayton & Fogg's jewelry
store he observed gleards of alight thrill%
the chinks of the shutters, and rapped at
the door. • i
"Is that yoti,.policernan r said a voice
" Yes," Answered .Badger.
" only me.—les all tight.
Kind o'chiily oat, isn't itr
" Yes."
"Thought so. I was just Bringing the
fizz—Good-night"
adger said "good-night," and pursued
his' way.
An hour afterward Badger passed
through Jessup street, Nairt, and again
he saw the light in the jewelry store. It
didn't look right, and he banged
_at the
door loudly.
" Halloo cried the voice within. "Is
it you, policeman ?" - •
Yes."
"All right. Won't .yon come in and
warm you? It won't hurt anything for
you to slip from yonrbeit a few minutes?'
. The door was opened, and • Policeman
Badger entered, and found the inmate to
be a very gentlemanly looking man, is s
linen duster.
" Come right up to the store, policeman
Excuse me a moment."
The man took the ash-pan from the
bottom of the stove, and carried it down
cellar and emptied it, and when he had
returned and wiped hie hands, he said
with a smile:
"Chilly night, isn't it r

"Chilly outside, and'ilull Wide. New

And the man in the dnster produced •
black bottle and a tumbler.
Policeman Badger partook, and baring
wiped his lips, and given his fingers a new
warming, beleft the store and resumed
his he-lt, satisfied that all was right in at
Dayton & Fogg's.
Bnt the morning brought a new re
vealment. Dayton & Fogg's _store had
been robbed, during the night, of six
thousand dollars' worth of wataes and
jewelry; and though Policeman Badger
cames in his mind an exact daguerreo
type of the robber, the adroit rascal has
not yet been found.—New York Paper.

Regarding this oft-discussed. question,
Professor llaudaley says: It has been
affirmed by some philosophers that there
is no essential difference between the
mind of a woman and that of a man;
and that if a girl were subjected-to the
same education as a boy one would re
semble him in tastes, feelings, puranits,
and powers. To my mind it would not
be one whit more absurd to affirm Aug,
the antlers of the stag, the human beard,. .
and the cocks-comb are 'effects of elude
tion ; or that by putting a girl tithe eat%
education as a boy she could be sexually .
tranalbrmed into one. The physical:Ana
mental differences between the sexes in
timate themselves very early in --life, and
declare themselves most distinctly, at
puberty. If the perton is hermaphrodite
the mental character, like the physical.
participates equally in that of both sexes.'
If either sex is mutilatedot approaches
the opposite sex. While woman preserves,
her sex, she 'will necessanly be feebler
thou man, - and, hating her *anal bodily
arslimental character, will have, to a
certain extent, her own sphere of a ctivity.
When she. Las pretty well divested her- .
self of her sex, she may then take Ins
ground and do his work;,.
but she will '
have lost her feminine ittractions, and
probably. also her chief feminine fano
dons.
