I am looking bark through tbe days and weeks That lie in the shadowy land of yore. And a walking vpirit stirs and speaks The spirit of dead years gone before. Speaks with a murmur of mournful sitens. In a voice that carries the sound of tears. And, lighting the lamp of its passionate eyes It opens the shroud of the buried years. The wind is blowing up from the wurld. The stars are shining dowa on tbe sea. But the wind is bleak and the light is cold. And 'tis only of pain they speak to me. For tbe wind once toyed with a silken tress. And tbe stars one shone on a saintly face ; And bow can a faithful love grow less? Or a new love take tbe old love's place? Tbe sea is swirling up to my feet. Singing its monody, soft and low ; But tbe song of toe sea is deadly sweet. For I inuid how it ew me years ago. We have been parted. I and she. With many a hundred miles between. And bow she was coming across tbe sea. . (Oh, the sky was blue and tte waves were green!) Cominz and vet she never came! Meeting and yet we met no more! She heard me not when I called her name. Though the dead might have heard meon that shore. Ob, love, though my eyes but dimly see. There is hope in my pataway where I tread, That over tbe sea thou wilt sail to me, In the day when tbe sea gives up her dead. Tie Argoty. CONQUERED- AT LAST. A SCHOOL TEACHER WHO WAS TOO MUCH FR THE BOY'S. I think the worst fet of bovs I ever heard of were the Hickory Point boys. Teacher after teacher had n- d-avored to teach the district vchool there, only to be either whiuped or bailt-red en that each was readv to give up before six months had pas ed. The boys fought or intimidated the male teacher?, and annoyed the female teachtr?, until, unnerved and utterly brokeu down they took their eparture, shaking the dust of the 'oint from their feet. The day ar rived when no tencner made appii- atinn tor the vacant school, and the Hickory Point parents were anxious and disturbed at the state of things. "1 don't know what we are going to do with tbein Woy9 f ourn." Dea con Jone said to Deacon Savage. They ain't bad boys for work nor for playing, out the moment they get on them school benches, with book in their hands, the very evil one seems to get inter ena.. All the Point boys pattern after they, and a very bad pattern it is, you know. Brother fcavage. They gem to be determined not to be in any school, and I'm worn out punishing Zach. It don't seem to do him any goied." That is so, Brother Jones. I'm sorry for it, but it's o. Didn't I punish my Abe for whipping young Winter, and did that make h:m any better? N. Just th irk what he did to that lat-t school ma'am that old maid. Mis Browa!" Deacon Janes, if be was a deacon, had a keen sens of the ludicrous, and he laughed aloud. " I declare, I can't help it !" b said. -1 laugh every time I think of how that poor ifuuiaD came into my bouse, with lier Lire front all siDed so you could see bald snots underneath. and the hair behind crisped and smelling like bunit featherg. "Ju-t look at me, Mr. Jones! ehe cried. 'Just see the work of that tnis'able Abe Savage, your ton ! They came pretty nigh burning me up, sir. My back hair was all in a blaze before I knew that it was on fire. And they just laughed, instead of putting it out. I demand satisfaction, sir, for this gross out rage!" Well, we did have to pay well for that frolic,"' Mr Snvjige answered, dolefully. "But she w;t too high I temnered and excitanle to lie a l j ; . ,- n9 li 1 l kill iUM LUCVCO UtU b UJUUaLC r - boys, anyway. ' We've had all kinds of teacher?, Brother Savage. It isn't the teach ers, but the wickedness of the boys themselves. Why, you know we've had good and bad tempered teach ers, young and old, mild and cross, and how long did any of them sty? I'm discouraged, and shU not try to get another teacher. Zich may go without an education, and I'll give him one behind a plow. If he don't work I'll whip him, and that's all I can do." Most of the parents at the Point adopted this plan. Tbe boys were set to work in the fields, the barns and the stables, and kept steadily at it. Thev were allowed no holidays and no recreations, and before pix w eeks had passed they began to look back with regret to their detested school days, and to wish them back again. Even their rijig leaders did not hesitate to confess this. " I don't have a moment for any kind of fun," Abe Savage grumbled. - Pa's always at my heels, and when he isu't there, ma's just like a watch dog. It's 'Abe, do this,' or 'Abe, you do that,' until I fairly despise my own name. Why, even Sunday, if I walk down the road, I'm called back." "They're treating us in this way just to pay us for making it uncom fortable for theeachers, .acn said, gloomily. " I know it's that, though they don't say so. But I don't nm pa j in uov going to go oaca i EChOOl." . ivi .v i . . n : Ahid -for ftieVk , ' tn " Va :f I m going to run away.

Be was a stoutly-built, powerful laa, nearly Is years old.) wno ruled the scholars with a rod of iron. Hardlj a boy dared to oppoee him. for be was as ready with bis fists as he was with bis words Yet he had some rather generous impulses. Hwas a staunch friend, and ii he whiiped the weaker boys himself, he woiid allow no one else to touch them. In strength and boldness Abe Savage nearly pa'ched him, so there was an oflenbi and defensive alli ance between tie two. Zach was unprepared for Abe's defection, and was indignant it it. I never thought you d be the one to give in," he said. " Did I say I'i give in T Abe an swered, sharply! "I said I would run away, and I reckon it will come to that at last" ; " I'd as soon go to sea as anything else," returned Zich. "I don't be lieve a sailor bas tc work harder than I do. Let's go, Abe." Now Abe coulJ not even sail oyer the lake without being sea-sick, and that plan did no: meet his approvaL Besides, he was a prudent boy, and though be grumbled and threatened had really no idea of running away, leaving bis comfortable home and throwing himself cpon the world. " We haven't a cent of money now," he said, "ad we'd better put off running away for awhile. The folks'll get tired being so strict after awhile, I guess. Besides, a school teacher may come, and hadn't we better let him stay a spell?'' " If he can whip me, yes," Zach said. " If he can't no ! T ain't fond of study, anyhow, and if work gets too hard, I'll rnn away." ! A few weeks after that there was a meeting of tbe school directors at Hickory Point. A young man with high recommendations, a college graduate, applied for the vacant po sition. The f-trmers of that neigh borhood were wealthy enough to Day an excellent salary, so the sctiool was only nominally a public one, each hend of a family contribut i og to the fund. Mr. Allen Winters, the young man who wished to become teacher at Hickory Point was a thin, wiry lookins young fellow, with very mum I tiiinds, bright black eyes, and a mouth entirely cevered by a heavy black mustache. If you could have looked benea'J) it. you would have seen that the lips wer'ethio and com pressed, and closed as if with au iron clamp. His address was very pleasant, both quiet and courteous. He was at once engaged, though he noticed the directors lookiug at him in a pit ying manner. " We are willing and glad to give foa tire pletee, Mr. WliiiUw, sai.i Jeacon Jones. ' but the question is. "how long will you lie willing to keep it? I'll be frank, and tell you we've got a bad lot ot beys at the Point It will take a plucky man td conquer them, and you don't look very strong. " I'm afraid it will be 4 How do you do?' and Good-by!' with you before two weeks have pasaed." Mr. Winters' smile wa an odd one, but he said, in a quiet voice: "Perhaps my look3 deceive you ; but I supposed brains were needed in a school more than muscle." " You have not taught at the Point, young man, Mr. Savage said, shak ing his head. " My boy i-, I'm sor- rv to say, one ol the worst ; but it s our duty to tell you that you have a bard 'row to hoe,'" Mr. Winters laughed, and his bright eyes danced merrily. "Ji'm glad you warned me, though you mustn't think I'm a lamb led to the sacrifice Tbe truth is, I heard of the character of your boys before I applied for the situation. I know ail about them, and am prepared for peace or war, as they may choose." "No weapons, young man," said Deacon Jones, nervou-ly. " We can t have anv doing. u mat sort in Hir schools, ii vou coiiouer me buys and you don't look as if you! culd you must do it with the! t-witcb, or euch agencies as nature , 1 a.k hdj rrrcr mil iTl t,n mj Ltd trtim J no t: 1 t. 11 1 ' U , Ai.

"Yon need not be afraid I shall use anv other agencies than those nature bas given me. I feel quite sure 1 am tiie very man for this school. At any rate I seem to be your forlorn hope, and if you cannot keep me, you will not be likely to have any one else.' I like vour Dluck. vounir man.1 said Deacon Jones, approvingly, j "let, with asigh, "oneortwo of the: Jeachers had pluck as well as your self. I wish you better luck, my young friend better luck." With his peculiar smile Mr. Win ters made the final arrangements, and with the same smile presented himself to his assembled scholars the foilowing day. " He's got no more atrength thn a cat, Zach whispered to Abe, con- itemptoously. "Just look at those woman's bands, will you? There! won't be any lun licking him or! drivine him away. I guess IU let mm nave nis own way ior a day or two. "Boys," said Mr. Winters, tap ping Lis desk, " before we begin work I wish to say a word or two.

Let him stay until the fodder is pulled; tbats such hot. hateful work." " Then he's got ta whip me, that's 611," was the uncompromising re - ply, and, looking at trie teacbers.tie American army naa undergone sparelnnbs, Abe felt that he could UU lb easily. A SDellinz class coruDOsed of the entire school, was called up. Mr, V inters said, quietly : " 01 course vou have learned little or nothi hing, with the school in tbe ion it has been in. I'll begin imple words spell elephant" conditi with aim w ith a significant look down the under stood Zach, who was at the head, spelled, "Elefant" The word passed on, each boy transposing a letter in the most skill ful manner. The, ''Point" boys were adepts at this g3me, and the observant teacher with his keen eyes fixed upon each scholar as the word came to him. saw that it was a trick that had evidently been played be fore. He retained his imperturba ble demeanor, and smiled, saying calmly : . ' :i 1 "You are really; greater dunces than I expected. Excuse toy plain words, but before I've done with you you will conclude tht you have seen the animal hinrselfV' Do you think you can manage tospell 'whip?' " On !" screamed the -rrcryi next to Zach, " he's pinchia' me, sir," point ing to the one below'trim.' "Twa'n't me, t&acber, it was him," pointing to his hearest neigh bor. " "Twa'n't tne, it was him," each bov shouted io turn, indicating the one next to him, and this said by every boy until it reached the bot tom of the class, each boy screaming and shouting at the very top of his voice. In the midst of all the noise Mr. Winters sat without moving a muscle. His bright eyes had rather an amused look, as they passed from face to ftce. Then, when the noise abated a little, he spoke in his same quiet, even tones. I think you have all been pinch ers, so I'll punish the whole class." He quietly took off his coat, and then took up a larg; switch that was on the desk. " You, Zach Jones, oblige me by stepping here." Zich marched up with an insolent laugh and a defiant swagger. Mr. j Winters raised the switch, his keen eyes fixed watchfully upon the boy. Before it descended. Zach aimed a blow at his face. He evaded it, and the next moment the young pugilist was seized in an iron grasp. When it relaxed, Zich, blinded by rage, struck out right and left; but what was his brute fotceaeainst the train ed skill of the most muscular athlete of Akroo Colioge? Three times Zach went down like a log. The fourth time, bruised and dizzy, be could not rise to his feet "Have you had enough?" Mr Win ters asked, sternly are you willing to obey ?"

The person to whom this incident occurrtd was traveling in the east, and, coming to a small town, made up his mind to etop and rest for sev eral days, and, to have some seclu sion, chartered a small house.

The traveler took this precaution every night as he had some valuables with him, and one night he was awakened by hear ing a curious scratching on the walls outside. At first he paid no atten tion to it, but finally it got worse and worse, and at last he stepped to the wiiid iw and looked out, and made out below several dark forms crouching Le.tr tbe building. He waited a few moments, and sudden ly the curious scratching recom menced, and a human figure all at once began to move up the wall in a decidedly mysterious manner.

How to Kress Warmly A person with much less weight or costliness of clothes provided he or she was dressed correctly for the j cold could face the still, frosty air without either red face or benumbed hands, and yet neither be dressed in fur, carry a muff nor wear a veil. It is so important to know where to put the warmth of clothes that a suggestion just here may save some suffering, especially among children. There are three outposts of the body that need to be guarded from tbe cold. These are the knees, the wrists and the neck, well up to the ears.

Y.) jjvrtti,i lhu9 wrj3 aooUi Xh cele- ;bralett Oneida community Of the' 'w 1 2S5 persons belonging to 1 1 community at the time of ' the old division jand r eorganizati on,"fourlive in Boa to h, : N- y k Clty we in s j ia ma of Qi.ejida, four in the village ot Oueida ijjp twenty-two live la houses of jofthe, owa Deiir the community, j j emnloved more or less in the business of the OneiJa commu nity, limited ; 27, including ac cessions by oirth; gathered around ('rinaf maA tpaia in a cmdli r A la n ailVU V U W V J.KT-'Kr (A1VU.4I au wages ; and the best ot them live here in what are called the "home buildings," and enjoy many of the old comforts and advantages, steam healed rooms, hot and cold baths, Turkish bath, library aud reading room, lawns and flower gardens. The larger part of those living in these buildings board in a common diuiog-room, conducted by private parties in much the same spirit that prevailed iu the old communi ty. There are seven or eight families that keep houses separately, besides a few soiitary individuals, who board themselves without any very visible connection with a cooking stove. The "restaurant plan '' was tried and abandoned in lsil. It wis not without its merits, but old habit and feeling were against it. I should add that live old communists live on the seashore in Connecticut; that two are printers in Cincinnati, and that one is at Wa!lmgford,Conn., taking care of the company's proper ty at that place. Nearly all the peo ple who have "gone out "are hviug in homes bought or built by tbeni stlves. The money that is Made in the company business and distribu ted as dividends, is new spent in di vers places. It was formerly spent here. In this respect, the change from community to joint stock ha not been good for this region. Two thirds of the stock of the Oneida community, limited, is more or less under the influence of J. II. Noy.es and his sympathizers. Thirty or more of his most religious Iriends hold semi-daily meetings here to keep in communication with one another and with him. He has a weekly gathering at his own house in Cacada, Sundays. Some of the long beaded ones are predicting that the dispersion will spend itself, and we will soon see a wave of returning adventurers. Some may thnk "Zion is going to be restored." Some may think it is going to be an era of art aud music and good feeling, without this plague of discipline. We have not the standing place of the proph ets. These former communists are certainly more or less held together and kept separate by their common history and association, and per haps to. by the fact that there are among them between SO and 40 per sons woo nave a common blood, and are variously related to most ol the others. Something may come of this fact perhaps nothing but inter- marn.-.ts perhaps more. Mile SiaiidiKh Revived. Une 61 our lellows, whom we pijvfullv dubbed Shad, confided to us one day tout he had discovered that ne couij not exist wimoui me .a l . - . i landlord's daughter, and that he would make her his bride before the end of the summer. We viewed the ! prospect with great fivor. "What win you marry on, we aked, "Well, I know I have not much wea'r.h." replied Shad, meekly ; "but don't you think this place is large ! enough for both of us? And when ; any ol this worshipful company j wander hither there will always be a big slate and a long reckoning." We promised him our influence with the father, and as there was no time to be lost I undertook to break the news gently to the girl that Shad int'-iided to marrv her. She was j shemcg peas at the time and looked charming in her neat calico gown. "Annette, I have something im- porlant to communicate to you She looked up from the peas, and for the life of me I could not restrain my arm from stealing in a paternal fashion toward her waist. "Aud what is it monsieur?" "Annette, my child, you are now a yoang woman. I do not donbt but many have already sued for this fair hand (there I removed it from the peas and rubbed it against my whiskers , but Arnetle, marriage is a grand thing and one which we should most carefully consider be fore taking the important step." Here I paused for breath. Annettes eye were nxed on the peas, and over her cheeks stole the daintiest ripple of a blush. "Annette, there is one cot far from you at this moment who adores you, who cannot live without you, who will make you an adoring hus band (bow pretty the looked;, will you, will you be his ?' I glanced across the yard and saw Shad and the group watching me anxiously. Annettes hand lay pas sively in mine, but she Etill kept her eyes on the reas. j "Who is he, monsieur?" she said at last glancing shvlv at me. For the life of me I could not help it, she looked so tempting. "Behold hira !'' I whispered. "Will you, can you, be mine, Anette? "Monsieur should confide himself to two absinthes before dinner," said. my lady, demurely, withdrawing her hand and resuming her pea shelling as if nothing had occurred. "She says she would not marry you for a million dollars, Shad.' said, bitterly on my return, I -weltweii I suppose not" re- marked my friend, philosophically : "but I am obliged to you, old man just the same."

Carnival, and the like, an opportunity offers itself for learning something about the old custom of tbe aborgines. The Indians still remember some dances of tneir ancestors, as wtll as afew ceremonies, which they per form on the sly, because formerly 'the Spaniards punished them ior 'what they called idolatrous and su perstitious rites. One of their dances, called Ijiolt is especially interesting, being a' ves tige of sun-worship. Si en and wo men take part in the dance ; provi ded the number of each is equal, it matters not how many. All have oo masks, anciently well made, to day mere square pieces ot deerskin with three noles cut for eyes and mouth. Often these holes are so much awry as to produce a most lu dicous appearance, and cone can guess what the features beneath may u'te' All wear sandala. The women have necklace, principally of large red beads, and earrings, for merly noose-rings too, but since the conquest these have been prohibit ed. . The chief, or matter, as they call him, rounc makjD? wears a circular cap, stuck nd with peacock feathers. a lofty, waving head dress. In trout of him. from bis waist hangs a representation of the sun. Iu its center is an eye, inclosed by a triangle, from which depends a large tongue. All these things are ay m bols of a most ancient freemason ry. One carries a white flag with a sun paiuted on it and a man and woman worshiping it Another has a M'-a'an, a kiud of drum, used also iu Africa ; another a flute another a iittrvm, a sacred instrument among the ancient Egyptians. With the sistrnm he beats time for the dan cers. Ir the other hand he has a small three-tailed whip, calling to mind the Egyptian Jliryllitm of Os iris. This is to chase tne dancersas they step badly. A necklace of large Seas bells hangs half way to his waist Each dancer has in the left hand a fan made of turkey feathers, with the bird's claw for a handle, in the right hand each has a sistrum, not quite like those used by the Egyp tians, but exactly like those of Cen tral A frica, as described by Du Chail lu. Those in Youcatan are made of small calabashes, ornamentally pain ted, and secured to the handle by pieces of bamboo; they have peb bels inside to rattle. The flag is held upright by the bearer or plant ted in the ground. Beneath it sits the drummer, cross-legged his drum on the ground before him. Close to the flag-stiff stand the master, the con ductor, and the flute player. With the flag ior a center, the dadcers go round three times, bodies bent for ward, and eyes on the ground, as if groping in the dark ;the drum mean while beats a peculiar quickstep. Then the flag is unfurled the sun appears! All draw themselves up to their fullest height, and raise eyes and hands with a shout of joy. Then the dance commences round and round the flag with various steps and motions, at the same time energetic and solemn, imitating the course and movements of our plan et, among other things. Meanwhila the chief sings, and the people an swer in chorus, over and over again the wrae thing, ia Maya tongue. C7i. "Take care how you step." j . - - Uancrr. e st p well, 0 Mas ter." The melody is both mournful and stirring. The rattling of tbe sistrum is vpry effective, now imitating the scattering of grain, now, by a sud- ueo movemeni 01 every arm. giving fo-th one mighty rattle as of a sud den rainfall and clap of thunder, to gether with a shout raised by the dancers after each chorus Is sung;. The fans are kept in motion as sym bolical of the wind. There is a pig's head festival, now much fallen into disuse. At a cer tain season of the year the bead is cooked, decorated with many colored ribbons and flowers, and, with an or ange between its jaws, placed upon an altar prepared for the occasion by a man who dances meanwhile. In this manner ;t is borne by a pro cession of people to some chosen individual. Various other presents are also given, soch as fowls, cigars sweet-bread, and so forth. Tte more numerous the gifts, the woree it is for the recipient, because on the following year he is expected to give i'lst twice the amount received. Harper't Magazine. Why Birds Sins;. Birds in freedom begin to sing long before pairing, and cont-nue it, sub ject to interruptions, long afterward though alt pan-ion bas been extin guished ; and domesticated birds sing through the whole year with out regard to breeding time, though no female or conpmion be in sight Such bird, born in captivity, r.e7er feel the loss of freedom, and if they are well taken care of are always hearty and in good spirits. The bird sings to a large extent for his own pleasure, for he frequently lets himself out lustily when he knows he is all alone. In the spring-time of love, when all life is invigorated and th; effort to win a mate by ar dent wooing is crowned with the joy of triumph, the song reaches its highest perfection. But the male bird also sings to entertain his mate daring the arduous nest building and batching to cheer the young, and if he be a domesticated bird to give pleasure to his lord and the providence that takes care of him and in doicg so to please himself. Lastly, the bird sings by habit, as we call it because the tendency is innate in the organs of eeng to ex ercise themselves. Two of m Klod.
