' NATURE'S WORSHIP.
The following is perhaps the most beautiful of the
various ong aung by the "gentle guest" Introduced
by Whitticr into hi "Tent on th Beach" :
The barp of Nature' advent strung
Uu never ceased to play ;
The aong the stars of morning sung
Has never died sway.
And prayer ia made, and praise is given,
By all things near and far ;
The ocean looketh up to heaven, .
And mirrors every star.
Its waves are kneeling on th strand,
As kneels the human knee.
Their white locks bowing to the land,
The prieethood of tho sea '.
They pour their glittering treasure forth,
Their gifts of pearl they bring.
And all the listening bills of earth
Take up the song they sing.
The green earth aends her incense up
From many a mountain shrine ;
From folded leaf and dewy otip
She pours her sacred wine.
The mists above the morning rills
Rise white as wings of prayer ;
Tho altar curtains of tho hills
Are aunset'a purplo air.
The winda with hymns of praise are loud,
Or low with sobs of pain,
Tbo thunder-organ of the cloud,
The dropping tears of rain. ,. ,
With drooping head and branches crossed
The twilight forest grieves.
Or spoaks with tongues of Pentccoat
From all its sunlit loaves.
The blue sky ia the temrle'a arch,
Its transept earth and air.
Tho uiuaio ol it sturrv maroh .-
The chorus of a prayer.
So Nature keeps tho reverent frame
With which her years began,
And all hor signs and voices shame
. The prayerlcsa heart of man.

TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMA. '
One day, in harvest time, my mother sent
me into the cellar to fetch a pitcher of beer
for the reapers. I wns about ten years old,
and of a very lively temper, always going
with a hop and a hound rut her thuu walk
ing. On coming into the dark cellar I felt
a iittle timid, and to keep up my courage,
sprang and dunceu about at a greuter rute
than usual.
Now it happened that Ilnrrnch, my native i
town, was built over old mine, winch had
fallen in a long time before. All around the
place lie great fragments of s',one from tbe
abunduned works, and in many of the houses
are found half opened passages which are
sometimes used as cellars. Our house like
wise, was built over a shaft, but this was
either not known or not thought of. But
while I was capering about, ami had just
seized (he pitcher which stood in a comer,
suddenly the earth opened under me, and I
was gone, I ki ew not where.
I went dowu to n great depth, and should
have plunged to tho very bottom of the
nlnss, had not a hook, which probably had
been u.-eil for fastening the mining ladder,
cau;lit me by the coat. At the instant ot
which had thus far wonderfully sustained
me, gave way. Tho bucket swayed with
my weight, but I .was already grasped by
my old friend. He drew me into the bucket,
and called aloud
"Thank God, there above, I have tho
child,-I have the child I"
As I sat in the miner's lap and felt my
self safe the first thing that came into ray
head was the pitcher, which in my fall bad
slipped from my band. I began to weep
bitterly.
"Why do yon weep, my boy t" said the
old man ; "the danger is all over; we are
Jast at the top."
"Ah, the pitchpr, the pitcher P I sobbed
out. "It was bran new, and the very best
we had 1"
We were nt the brink of the chasm. My
mother leaned over it, reaching towards me
witu yearning urum. j 113 uiu iiiiucr imeu
me out toller.- With trembling hands she
caught me and drew me to ber bosom. All
the bystanders shouted for joy. They crowd
ed around, and each one wished to embrace
tne, but my mother trusted me cot out of
licr arms. The dear, good mother 1 She had
always loved me dearly ; but from that time
I was the apple of her eye.
I have heard my mother than once relate
that when she heard the words of the miner
"Thank God, there above, I have the
child," a thrill of horror ran through the
heart. Then it seemed to her impossible
that it could be true I she fell with her face
to the ground, and could only weep. But
when the light re-appeared, and uy its wean
rays she could discern her child, and see
that he was alive, heaven seemed to open to
her in all its glory. Never did sho forget
the blessed moment. My mother was a very
pious woman, and was on this account held
in great esteem by all who knew her. God
laid many trials upon her, but I never saw
her faint-hearted, never heard ber murmur.
In all her sorrows sho acknowledged the
fatherly love of God. But she often told
her children that it was in that day of agony
when I was lost and again restored, that she
was first fully established in her faith, end
knew what it was to trust in the goodness
of God.

reucucit 1110 cars 01 my mother, wlio was
Ijiisy in tlio kitchen. SI10 come running
down with a light, und when she saw the
opening in the ground, and rnuld neither
Und me or hour answer to Iter call, she could
not doubt thut I had perished.
My mother has ofteu told mc that she was
betide herself with terror, und was near
plunging after me. It became so dark be
fore her eyes that she could hardly sustain
herself upou her trembling knees. But the
thought that possibly I miht yet be rescued,
brought her to licrscll.
She hastened up stuirs and called for help
but no one heard her, for all the house-bold
were at work in the harvest field. It was
not until she had run down the street that
some woman heard her, and hastened to the
spot. They stood around wringing: their
hands and looking do,wn iuto the aperture,
but knew not what to (io.
In falling I had lost my consciousness,
and it would huvo been a happy thing to
I have remained thus till the liniment of de
liverance, liut alter a time 1 came to my
self. I knew not where 1 was, but I felt thut
I was hunging betwixt heaven und earth,
and that the next moment might plunge me
into the bottomless abyss. I hardly ventur
ed to make a sound, so great was uiy terror;
but when I heard voices and piteous lamen
tation above me, I begged in God's name
for help. At this the lamentations reased
for a moment, nnd then burst out more
violently than before, fur to know that I was
olive, and yet no way to help me, only ad
ded to their misery.
1 Mere was no lack ot counsel, huch one
had something to propose. liut it whs soon
seen that nothing was to be effected in this
way. 1 uey tried to let down cords, but
they did not reuch rue. Poles were still
useless. Indeed, how could it have been
possible for me to bold on to a cord or a
pole, long enough to be drawn up to tbat
height?
At length they culled in the aid of an old
miner, who at once saw what was to be done.
His iirst business was carefully to enlarge
the aperture. ' lie then set up a windl.nss be
side it, with a long rope coiled upon it, and
to this fastened buckt t. The compassion
ate neighbors watched every movement with
agonizing impatience. Many prayed aloud.
And in those terrible momets of conscious
ness which now and then broke In upon my
swoon for I bad swooned after my fall
my ear caught single words of hymns and
prayers for the dying, which I understood
too well- 1 , ., ...
At length all was ready 1 and the old mi
ner, with a light attached Io his cap, having
first given warning that perhaps he might
drag rue down with aim in his descent, step- j
ped into the bucket. Slowly and cautiously
was the rope unwound..' I saw the burning
light, and it teemed to me like a star de
scending from heaven for my help. Above
was the silence of death. Without knowing
what I did, I shrank up as close at possible
to tbe damp wall The movement loosen
ed bit of stone, and I heard tbo reverbera
tion of ila fall in the depth below. My
groans indicated the place where I bung.
The old man now begun to comfort in a, say
ing tbat I must keep up a good heart, for
be hoped that with God's help lie should
deliver me. , , , 1 1,-.,.
Now I saw the bucket lmmia far over
my bead ; then nearer nd nearer but the
opening was to narrow that it could not
past by me. My deliverer therefore gave a
sign for tboee at the top to ttop unwinding,
lie then reached down to me a cord with a
nooae tied to it. I seized bold of this, and
by raising myself a little, grasped tbe edge
of tb backet, first by one, then by both
bands. At this instant the frail threads,
Hemlock.
A correspondent of the Maine Farmer
promulgates tome important facts, which
should prove valuable hints to the owners
of Hemlock lands in this section.
The State of Maine has within its borders
a source of great wealth which has hitherto
attracted but little attention. This neglect
ed mine is found in the hemlock forests
which cover a large section of the State,
comprising about live milions of acres. It
is assumed, and no doubt correctly, that this
land will produce twenty cords of bark to
the no re or one hundred millions in nil.
Were this to be removed to market in bulk,
the process would be very expensive, dimin
ishing very materially the net product of
cash irom this source. Mat, by a well known
process lor extracting tho strength of tho
bark and preserving it in a liquid form, the
value of this forest product has been appre
ciated niauy fold. A fair test of tho cost of
procuring uud gutting it to market showed
it to be a very profitable business. A cord
of bark will produce about 27 gallons of ex
tract, costing, delivered at some point of
shipment, from five to six dollars. A gallon
weighs ten pounds, or 270 pounds to a cord
of bark. This sells readily for six cents
per pound giving if 10.20 per cord of bark,
or about $11 clear profit.
Owing to tho excellent tanning properties
ot this extract, it will always lind a ready
market, both domestic and ioreign, and, on
the supposition that the yield will equal,
per cord, the estimate which we have no
reason to question, we have an aggregate of
money value in tbe hemlock bark of the
wilds of Maine of eleven hundred millions!
This leaves out of account the lumber value
of the trees felled for the hark, which must
bo considerable as the country becomes
cleared up and tbo means of access to it im
proved. With this reserve fund to draw
upon, the people of Maine and other States
producing hemlock timber, exercising pro
per industry, may grow rich as certainly and
as rapidly as those States lying in more
genial latitudes and blessed with a more
prolific soil. '

IiliCRKATION AND RENOVATION. The bo
dy is recruited by a change in the form of
its exercise ; tho mind it renovated by aleep,
by profound rest ; - bence the best way of
re-invigorating the whole man, whether of
the laborer or the lUtrateur, is not to go to
the springs or some country house, and
lounge, and loiter, and eat, and doze away
the tartly hours, but to secure employment
which will bring into requisition tbose mus
cles of the body which have, in a measure,
been lying dormant, and to keep up tbat
exercise in the open air, day after day, to an
extent that the body shall be to fatigued
that deep sleep comet within five minutes
after the head has reached the pillow. This
givet natural rest to the brain, which, for
the whole day following, will thrill the
whole body with the electrical influences
which it distributes through it by means of
the nervous system ; and if this process is
repeated clay by day, it will not bo a week
before a new spring will be added to the
step, a new fire will sparkle in the. eye, a
new energy will be infused into the mental
faculties, and the whole physical man will
be rejuvenated, whilo 'heart and soul will
respond to the general invigoration.
Isteiimarhiaob. Official documents show
that seventeen families who married cousin
had ninety-five children, forty-five of whom
were idiots ; twelve others were scrofulous
or puny ; another was a dwarf ; another was
deaf; so that more than one-half were de
formed. Surely they cannot be wise who in
marrying cousins deliberately run such fear
ful risks. The very sight of . a deformed
child is a living torture to any mother's
heart, and only the gravo of one of them
can end it.
Si.KEriNO Rooms should always face the

this is perfectly understood by the citizens,

parlor or lodging-place which fanes the sun,
that is asked for one of a Northern expo

A New Treatment for Wounds.

very successful. A jet of air is poured upt

means of which the healing process isgrci

A Remarkable Case.. The Milwaukee
Wisconsin notices a remarkable case in
which a bullet passed into the brain of a
man who yet lives in apparently good health.
It appears that Ole Everseo, a Norwegian,
about nineteen years of nge, a private of
company K, 2d Wisconsin infantry, was
wounded in the head by a rifle ball on the
21st of July, 1801, just as he was entering
the cattle of Dull run. He was taken pri
soner and carried to Richmond, and there
attended by Dr. James M. Lewis, the sur
geon of his regiment, who had also been
captured. Dr. Lewis and several rebel doc
tors decided that any attempt to remove the
ball, which had plainly lodged in the braiu,
would end fatally, and, therefore, contented
themseives with dressing the wound, which
soon healed up, although it would open at
intervals and discharge a good deal of of
fensive matter. After a year's imprison
ment the man was exchanged, went homo
and commenced working on a farm, where
j lie eeemea to get entirely well. A year
afterward he re-enlisted, served during the
remainder of the war, and is to day ou his
lurm, Male anil hearty, with every prospect
of a long life before him, and feeling no
turtner ill elk-cts irom the bullet in bis brain
than an occasional headache.
Lincoln's Conversation. Tbe follow
ing extract shows bow closely bumor and
sadness were united in Mr. Lincoln's na
ture: His conversation was suggestive, original,
instructive and playiul ; aud by its geuia!
bumor, fascinating and attractive beyond
comparison. Mirthfuluess and sadness were
strongly combined in him. . Ilia mirth was
exuberant; it sparkkd in jett, story and
anecdote, and the next moment those pecu
liarly sad, pathetic and melancholy eyes
showed a man ''familiar witb sorrow and
acquainted with grief." I have iisteued for
hours at his table, and elsewhere, when be
lias been surrounded by statesmen, military
leaders and other great men of the nation,
and I but repeat the universally concuriing
verdict of all, in stating that as a conversa
tionist ho bud no equal. One might meet
in company with bim the most distinguished
men, of various pursuits and professions,
but after listening fur two or tbreo hours,
on separating, it wat what Lincoln taid that
would be remembered. His ideas and bis
illustrations were those that would not be
forgotten. Men often called upon him for
the pleasure of listening to him. I have
beard the reply to an iuvitatlon to attend
the theatre, - "No, I am going up to the
White House I would rather bear Lincoln
talk for half an hour than attend the best
theatre in the country."
