All I could find I poured at her feet Of brown nuts fulling before the frost ; A harvest ripened with summer's heat, High on the limbs that twined find cross'd Too strong for summer winds to toss.

And I, while adding to her store, (My love did deem it all the less,) bid long to offer something more A gilt of name or wealth's largess ; A' crown, it crown's gave happiness. Ah, did she know, with maiden's art, Which reads our longing looks so plain, That I had given her my heart, And could not get it back again, Nor so desired, for that wore pain ? But with my lips close to her cheek This did I tell her as I could : With stammering tongue I dared to speak, While silent all the forest stood As though its mute heart wished mc good. from attempting to abate the price, he added to the money he gave ner a small flask of lavender-water or cake of scented soap.

When tho time comes to show your hands, plunge them into this bag, and fill them men which young girls often complain of to satisfy their consciences uer nadotte found the hair-dresser quite as agreeable as he was attentive. Micoutet, the ploughman, was daily in the field, no matter what might be the state of the weather, and at the earliest hour, because he could not sleep som out of this ; they fall by the way, and are no more. But that first baby is a plodgo and an assurance of perpetuity to its parents ; it links them, little creature that it is, with the destinies of the planet as noth ing else can do ; they will live again in quillity. He betook himself to the father of her who had robbed him of his renose. and, cap in hand, with down cast eves and a stammering voice, spoke to him for a longtime about Bernadotte, nraisinc her vigorous arms, made for THE WHITEST HANDS; OR, WHO Mil ALL, WIN TUE r ltl7.fi f This is not the story of a king, but of a humble peasant girl ; the scene is not laid in a camp, but in a village, at a timo when Bonaparte's wars had not vet given to the simple name of Ber nadotte (little Bernard) the historic glow which etill surrounds it. A man and his wife had an only daughter, and they were so proud of her that she had scarcely come into the world when they began to think of her marriage. The man, laboring with the greatest perseverance, sought to accum ulate for her one of those attractive doweries which fascinate rich young bachelors ; the wife seconded his efforts so courageously, grabbing in tne ground all dav and scheming all night, con stantly preparing the bride's outfit, that she tell sick ana aiea, not Deing wiiiins vo call in the doctor, that she might save the cost of the remedies. Father Hugh, left alone with his daughter, was only the more anxious to have a son-in-law. some sturdy laborer possessing a competence, one who would insure both the prosperity of his house and the happiness of his beloved Ber- nauotte, work, and the good health apparent in every form and feature, and finally de manded her haud. Father Hugh did not say yes, and still less no. He knew full well the value of those little words of few letters ; like his coins, he would not let them go without certain guarantees of their be' ing properly placed. He put off the young man to the following Sunday, and. in the meantime, communicated the proposal to his dauehter. L . . . . " Micoutet is a very nice young man, said Bernadotte. " I stop and talk with him every morning on passing his farm He has fine oxen, good fields, and an ex cellent vineyard. Casterez, the baker, however, appears also to good advantage ; would it not be well " ' Casterez, the baker ! replied Father Hugh, in a reflective mood. " By Our Lady, thero is always bread on a baker's counter I " And tarts on the dinner table, add' ed Bernadotte. I will find out, my child, what tho baker means before deciding. "His meaning, father, is plain enough. He buys every morning all that I take to town, and without higgling about the price, please you. If I were to to ask him double, he would not niaice tue slightest objection. " Without higgling about tne price i with the uncuent it contains." . 0 . . . 1 " liut, granttiatuer, my bkiu is as uik and coarse as tne oarit 01 an 01a Tree.

Its use is ot very ancient date, and time has not diminished its virtue." Micoutet took the soap-bag, and re sorted to Bernadotte's house. The baker and the barber were not far behind him.

" Ah I my boy, that is the real dur- ablo whiteness which I love. Bernadotte is yours, for you have courted her with out leaving your field, and you know the whiteness most appreciated in the hand of a son-in-law.

" 'Tis an ill wind that blows no body good I" Bernadotte, worthy of her size in economy and in activity, trudged to town every forenoon to sell her chickens, eggs, and fruit. She frequently en countered young Micoutet, the plough man, who would drive up his oxen to the end of tho furrow by the roadside, and keep them standing a long time to bid her good morning, and to chat with hr about the rain, and the fine weather, and the chickens, and the cows, and the growing corn, and the beans that wore about drviner.

He returned home, and communica ting the baker's sentiments to his daugh ter, promised her to decide quickly which of the two it would be the best to marry. " The baker is a very nice young man," said Bernadotte, the same as she had said of the ploughman Micoutet, " but there is another, the hairdresser Firmin. He buys something of me every day, and keeps me an hour talking about hu tour through France, the yarn my stockings are muae 01, ana my gooa mucu cow. He assures me that he has never seen any one more engaging than she whom he has the pleasuro of looking at when he looks at me. "The compliments of a barber I in terposed Father Hugh.

Hugh again returned to town, where he had an interview with M. firmin; and, as ho knew that the larger the com- I11 these pleasant days, when peram bulators fill all the pleasant places, pushed by their neat attendants, and nuea witn a priceless parcel mut, um 01 all its foam ot laces and emoroiaeries, winks and wonders at the world around it, we are constantly led to remark upon the transcendent qualities, not of the sixth or seventh half as much as of the first baby. The lovely little beings that follow may tumble up in such clothes as are alruady at hand, with only here a rulile and there a scollop of their own good enough for vagrants but the first heir is to be, and is, a mass of delight- fu'ly dainty newness, flannel is not warm enough for it, swan's down is not soft enough, and, if the hoar frost of the hedges, bediamoned with the dew of the morning, were available, lace would not bo good enough for it. What a rapture that first baby is in the house where it comes. What impor tance belongs to all related, with their new dignities and weighty titles, while the voung mother. iuBt escaped from the awful gates, Bees the little bundle on her pillow, composeajy sleeping or starting, as if it had an equal right there with any An Editor's Misfortunes. A special from Chicago to the Cincin nati Commercial says : " One of the first men 1 met on landing from tue train. early yesterday morning, was one of the Mcuuiiagn tirotners 01 tne vinicago ue- jmblican. He had both pockets of his overcoat stuffed full or currency, tne pro ceeds from the sale of what he called his " morning handbill." Ho said he didn't know where he could get his breakfast, 1 witn his pockets full ot money. " Mack " lost $25,000 invested in the Reiiullican and $15,000 cash in the Traders' Bank. The office was insured for $45,000, but how much of any of these sums will be recovered remains to be seen. The contents of their safe ledgers, subscription list, and insurance policies wero charred to indistinguish able cinders. Mr. Henry Reed had a tin box iii the safe, containing some silver coin, all of which was melted and run together. Mr. Reed has determined to leave Chicago permanently. " Mack " is undecided as to his future course, as his partners seem to be discouraged on the subject ot future investment, lie eays he worked up the RepuUicun. to a paying point, the edition that was burnt con- . . .. . . . taming nearly a thousand dollars worth of city advertising. The city owes the Republican six thousand dollars, and the owners have recently sold their job room for $22,500. The man who bought it lost all in the tire, and, like his sureties, can t pay a cent ; and the notes he gave are burnt up anyhow. The Traders' Bank, in which " Mack " had his fifteen thousand dollars cash, loaned its capital to Chicago merchants, and they are bank rupted. This is a sample of the accum illative losses that nave overtaken bo many thousands of the industrious and enterprising business men 01 Uhicago, literally compelling them to return to the point where a living is made by one's wits. Tho Man Who Cooks. Every old Californian, having in '49 baked his own bread and boiled his beans, writes Prentice Mulford, deems himself a good family cook. He main tains even a greater conceit than this He deems himself a cook superior to any woman in the world, when he chooses to concentrate his mind on culinary af fairs. On such a man, when, duly married. there breaks out once or twice a year a culinary mania. He must cook ; ho will cook, lie watches tne opportunity ed her af ter- The largest sum of money ever con tracted for in one bargain is the indem. nity to be paid by France to Oermany in consequence of the recent war. It is so large that its payment disturbs the money markets of the whole world ; and no intelligent forecast of the financial future, even in New York,' cannot be formed without understanding tho progress already made in it, and that soon to be made. Reducing the payments in every case to American money, the account, ac cording to the last advices by telegraph, stands thus : .Franco has paid, as a con tribution for the city of Paris, $40,000,- 000; for the maintenance of German troops in France, from March to October 1871, f uo.ouo.ouu ; ana ior a nrst pay ment upon the national indemnity, 235.000.000, besides $05,000,000 allowed as the purchase money for the railroads Alsaco and Liorraine; in au f wo,- 000,000. Of this, perhaps $5,000,000 must be deducted, as spent in France by the German troops for supplies, leaving $330,000,000 for the amount of specie ac tually moving to Germany, and causing the present disturbance. Thero are due to Germany in the spring of 1872, $100,000,000, to be paid in six instalments of $16,000,000 'each, beginning with January 15 ; the re mainder of $1,000,000 to be paid April besides more than $30,000,000 for in terest, at five per cent, per annum, upon tho remaining $U00,0UU,UUU. The total amount of money to be transferred from country to the other for the year ending April 1, 1872, is, therefore, more than $4U0,00U,UUU. England u the only medium through which the payment can be niado, iu the present disorgan ized state of tho French currency, and is indeed, the only market in which French credit can obtain cash on a large scale. Hence the alarm of British financiers at the prospect of a heavy drain of coin and bullion from their vaults. It remains to be seen how London is to escape a " Black Friday " of her own, which now threatens to come to her be fore February next. According to all precedent, thero will bo a severe strin gency iu the money market there, a panic in securities, a long list of mercan tile 1 allures, a minimum uanic rate 01 ten per cent. all as the consequences of a drain of specie from the Bunk of Eng land ; and then, alter endless miscniet is done, the government will step in, sus- Eend Peel's banking act, enabling tho ank to expand its loans and circulation without so much coin in its vaults ; and publio confidence will gradually return. X110 DHUK lost ?zo,uuu,uuu iu cum uunug the month ending October 7, and $29, 000,000 in its total reserve; and this seems to have been but the beginning of the drain, since the German government is very slow to restore the funds to gen eral circulation, and there is every pros pect that, by February 1, it will have $300,000,000 locked up irom use as care fully as is the coin reserve in the United States Treasury. But publio attention has been called to the subject in England, and in full view of the dangers yet in prospect, tbo alarm which the first great movement of coin caused has subsided.

The Christian Intelligeruer, alluding to the approaching centennial of the llo formed Dutch Churoh says : Down to the year 1800, the Dutch language was used in nearly all the Re formed uutcn puipits in oxew lorn. The minutes of our ecclesiastical bodies were in a foreign tongue, and our Con stitution was not printed in English until 1794. With the general, introduc tion of the English tongue, there came progress, enterprise, and improvement. Butgers College at length, in 1825, was placed in a fair working condition. Twenty-five years of educational train ing and aggressive work of many kinds brought the Church down to the year 1850. Then began those elemental throes of conscious power, feeling after de velopment. The development followed on the heels of much friendly agitation, and what has been gained within the last twenty years is an inspiration and encouragement to larger efforts than have hitherto been attempted. Within this latter period, our collegiate and theological institutions have been nobly endowed. Our Church boards, twenty years ago, were but two in number, viz.: the Board of Education, and of Domcstio Missions the Foreign Board being then only a nominal affair. But now the Reformed Church has the complete apparatus for large and effective work, and its several boards find their fiolds and their oppor tunities widening nud increasiug every year. Brazilian Turtles. The size of these creatures may be imagined from the fact that the flippers and feet of one, in crawling over tho sand, leave the tracks of two irregular grooves, three r four feet apart, as though a great wagon with cog wheels had been driven over the ground. It is an easy matter to find a turtle's nest by this track. She comes out of the sea and travels far up on the beach to lay her eggs in the sand, digging a hole a foot and a half or two feet doep for the nest. Professor Hartt, who was in Brazil with Professor Agassiz, says that he Baw a turtle deposit one hundred and forty-three eggs in one of these nest. Tho eggs are ull laid at one sit ting, then covered up cloBely with the sand and left to hatch. The eggs are rather larger than hen's eggs, round and covered with a tough white skin. The Brazilians eat the eggs, and also tho flesh of the turtle. Tho creature is cap tured in a curious way. Two persons go behind it, and taking hold of the shell, turn the animal on its back, in which position it is at the mercy of its captors, as it is impossible for it to turn over on its feet again. The hunters are obligod to creep up behind it cautiously, for as soon as it is alarmed, it thrusts its fore paddles into the sand and throws it behind, so that if the pursuers do not quickly close their eyes they are likely to be blinded.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. Comfort for Travellers. The Boston 2'raiucript says, for the benefit of railroad travellers, that the desideratum so long sought for by in ventors, namely, a practical spark and dust arrester, after repeated experi ments aud failures, has at last been brought to what may be termod perfec tion, by a gentleman of Massachusetts. The invention is simply a curved smoke stack, in nearly the shape of a " horn of plenty," attached as ordinary smoke Btacks are, tho mouth running backward toward the centre of the locomotive. Within, near the enlargement at the upper cur ve, is placed a wire screen at an anglo of about forty-five degrees with the direction of the smoke, and the usual screen is placed over the immedi ate outlet.

Tho Detroit Free Press, of the 4th inst., gives the following account of how the hunter became the hunted : A man named Chas. Tyrell was hunt ing on the St Clair river when two bears appeared. Somewhat excited, ho lev elled his rifle and fired, aud the next moment both the bears were coming down upon him at full speed. The hun ter saw that they meant business, each uttering fierce growls, and he dropped his gun, caught hold of the limb of a small oak tree, and swung his legs up iust in time to save his boots. As he ex- . 11 pectod, one 01 tnem was not ioDg in at tempting to secure a closer acquaint ance. The animal got up about seven feet, and then the limbs refused to let him by. ' He pawed, bit, and growled at a great rate, and, in matting a Dig enon to push away the limbs, fell to the ground. Tyrell commenced shouting, which excited the bears, and one of them was quickly up to the limbs agaiu, when the hunter struck a match and dropped it down on bruin's head, frightening him so that he went down the tree at a heavy bread indigestion.

The following account of a hairy fami ly appears in the Indian Daily Hem, an East India journal : The hairy family of Mandalay consists of a woman of about forty-five years of age, a man of twenty, and a girl of eleven, with hair over every port of their faces, forehead, nose, and chin, varying in length from throo inches to a foot, and exactly the color and texture of that on a Skye terrier. The hair of their heads, on the contrary, is just the same as on any ordinary Buriuan : they ap pear to be quite as intelligent as the or dinary Burinans. The father of the wo man was the first of the hairy progeny. He married an ordinary Bur man woman and the issue of the union was the pre sent hairy head of the family. She mar ried an ordinary Barman, aud has issue, a son about twenty-three years ot age, follows in the Scientific American : " This invention relates to a machine that, when drawn through a field of standing corn, gathers the ears, drops them into, au elevator, cuts off the knobs, slits the shucks whilo on the ears into traverse ribbons, doing such cutting at the samo time the ears aro being elevated, drops tho ears from the elevator into the shuckor, strips off the husks, throwing them out of the machine, and finally conveys the ears off to one side of the apparatus, where it lets them fall into any receptacle that may be provided."
