Indulge me in this wandering notion, My muse has led to distant laud Across the wide Atlantic Ocean Where many an ancient ruin stands. Where many a grand old mountain rises, Where classic rivers roll along, Where nature's spirit oft baptizes The student's pencil or his tongue. On Hutberg's side, in old Lusatia, A home was built called BertheUdorf, There lived a noble "Dei Gratia," A man whose name was Zinsendorf. His wealth he wasted not in splendor Nor courted he the world's surprise, It's charms he freely did surrender To lay up treasures in the skies. To him there fled from old Bohemia, 'ecau.se of Faxon's cruel zeal, And from their homes in old Moravia To 'scape the tyrants iron heel. In Berthelsdorf they found seclusion, And in their worship could be free Without omciul spiv's intrusion The mind enjoyed its liberty. The arms of Zinsendorf extending Around them all in Christian love, And for them ease and wealth expending He looked for recompense above. But while by love his heart enlarging He looks away to distant fields, He feels the mission God is charging And to the holy unction yields. . Then far away across the ocean To Pennsylvania's wilds he 's bound This noble heart thrills with emotion ; His feet now touches freedom's ground. His brethren had a site elected, A paradise it was to thcin And here a home they have created, They led the court to Bethlehem. But when from travel-toil he rested His mission was not yet fulSlleJ Until the Lilian's mind had tested His loving heart could'not be stilled. O'er mountains thro' the wilds progressing At length lie reached our noble stream And to the Bed man bore the blessing Whith Christ the burden of his theme. Thus he lived, and thus he labored, And thus endured incessant toil, Feeling he was highly favored, If i'roiu sin he led a soul. He sleeps in Jesus ! precious slumber ; From earth he's long since passed away Him, with the sons of God we number, To him this foeble tribute pays. Dec. 22, 1S6G. Advice to Skaters. Having been made aware that the skating season in this latitude has arrived, we give the following advice to '.'grcenies :" . Never try to skate in two directions at ffM a . i. 1 ai .a.l once. 1 his leat has oiten Dcen aaempieu by new beginners, but never successfully. It always ends in sorrow. 2. Eat a few apples for refreshment sake while skating, and be sure to throw the cores on the ice for fast skaters to break their shins over. Fast skaters are your natural enemies, and should not be allowed to enjoy themselves peaceably. 3. Sit down occasionally, no matter where right in the way of the rest of the rarty, if j-ou wan! to. There is no law to prevent a new beginser from sitting down whenever he has an inclination to do so. 4. Skate over all the small boys at once. Knock 'cm down. It makes great fun, and thev like it. 5. If you skate into a hole in the ice take it cooly. Think how you would feel of the water was boiling hot 6. If your skates are too slippery buy a tr i . !! new pair, ivcep Duying new pairs tiu you find a tair that are not slippery. This will be fun for the hardware and fancy store men. N. B. WTe don't expect a pair of skates for this notice, but if they are sent we feel tolerably sure they will not be thrown out of the window. 7. In sitting down, do it gradually. Don't be too sudden ; you may break the ice. 8. When you fall headlong, examine the. straps of your skates very carefully before you get up. This will make everybody think you fell becacse your skates was loose. Beginners always do, you know. 6. Wear a heavy overcoat or cloak till you get thorougly wanned up, and then throw it off and let the wind cool you. This will ensure you a fine cold that will last you as long as you live. By following these rules strictly you may leam to skate cretty well by the first of March if the ice don't melt before that time, ' " How to Cure a Toper. The following story, literally true in its leading particulars, was told by a reformed man who knew Mr. W very well. In repeating the story I do so in the first per son, in order to give it more effect. I was enjoying my glass of flip one night at the little old "Black Horse" that used to stand a mile out of S ; hadnjt joined the great army of teetotalers then, when a neighboring farmer came in, whose modera tion at least in whiskey toddies was not known unto all men. His name was W . He was a quiet sort of a man when sober ; lively and chatty under the effect of a single drink, argumentative and oflensively dog matic after the Bccond toddy, and downright insulting and quarrelsome after getting be yond that number of drinks. We liked him and we disliked him, on that account . On the occasion referred to, he passed through all these changes, and finally sunk off to sleep by the warm 6tove. Being in the way, and also in danger of tumbling upon the floor, some of us removed him to an old settee, where he slept soundly entertaining us with rather an unmusical serenade. There were two or three mischievous A;K lows about the place, and one of them sug gested it would be capital fun to black W 'a face and make a darkey of him. No sooner said than done ; some lamp-black and oil were mixed in an old tin cup and a coat of the paint laid over the face of Mr. W , who, unconscious of what had been done, slept on as soundly as ever. Full two hours passed away before he awoke ; stag gering up to the bar, he called for another glass of whiskey toddy, while we made the old bar-room ring again with our peals of laughter. "What are you all laughing at?" said he, as he became aware that he was the subject of merriment, and turning his black face around upon the company as he spoke. ':Givc us old 'Zip Coon,' old fellow," called out one of the boys who had helped him to his beautiful mask. No, no, 'Lucy Long,' give us 'Lucy Long,'" cried another. Can't you dance 'Jim Crow?' try it; I'll sing the wheel-about and turn-about and do just so ; now begin ;" and the last speaker commenced singing "Jim Crow." Mr. W neither understood nor relish ed all this, but the more angry and mystified he became, the louder laughed the company ; and the freer became their jests. At last, . 1 ! If in a pas-sion, ne swore at us lustm ana leav ing the bar-room in high dudgeon, took his horse from the stable and rode off. It was past eleven o'clock, the night was cold, and a ride of two miles made Mr. W sober enough to understand that he had been rather drunk, and was still a good deal in for it, and that it wouldn't exactly do for his wife to see him just as he was, po he rode a mile past his house, and then back again at a slow tror. Considering, by this time, that the good woman was fast asleep, (and so she was) he entered the house, crept silently up the stairs, and got into bed with out his better-half being any the wiser of his whereabouts. On the next morning Mrs. W awoke first, but what was her surprise and horror upon rising up to see in stead of her lawful husband, what she thought a strapping negro, as black as char coal, lying at her side. Her first impression was to scream but her presence of mind, in thia trying position, enabled her to keep si lent. You mry be 6ure she didn't remain long in such close contact with Mr. Darkey not she for slipping out of bed quickly but noiselessly she" glided out of the room and was soon down staira in the kitchen, where a two-fisted Irish girl was at work preparing breakfast. Oh ! dear, Kitty," she exclaimed, pant ing for breath and looking as pale as a ghost, "have you 6een anything of Mr. W this morning ?"' "Och! no; but what ails you? you are white as a shate." "Oh ! mercy, Kitty, you wouldn't believe it, but there is a monstrous negro in my e room. "Gracious me, Mrs. W , a nagcr?" "Yes, indeed, Kitty," returned Mrs. W trembling in every limb, "and worse, he is in my room ; I just awoke and I thought it was Mr. W by my side, but when I looked over I saw, instead of his face, one as black as the stove. Mercy on me, I was frightened almost to death." "Is he aslape?" asked Kitty. "Yes, sound asleep and snoring. Oh ! dear, what shall we do ; where in the world is Mr. W ? I'm afraid this negro has murdered him." "Och! blasted murdering thafe," ex claimed Kitty. Her organ of combativencss, which was very large, becoming very excited at this time, burst out in the following strain : "Get into Mistress' bed and the leddy there herself; the d n hound; the black mur dering thafe of a villain I". And Kitty thinking of no danger to her self and making no calculation as to conse quences, seized a stout hickory pole that stood in one corner of the room and went up stairs like a whirlwind, banging the pole against the door and balustrades or whatever come in her way. The noise aroused Mr. W from his sleep, and he raised up in his bed just as Kitty entered the door. "Och! you murdering thafe of a villain," shouted Kitty, as she caught sight of his black face ; and pitching into him with her pole, Ehe swept off his night cap with a sin gle stroke, at imminent risk of taking his head with it. "Hallo tv he cried, not at all liking this strange proce euimr. are ywu iuu l 13" "Ti i did not refe?" retorted Kitty, who sure aim thfo the voice, and taking a him a tremendu,th her pole, brought which knocked hlsr alongside tho head Mrs. W , whfMes?. to two the stairs, heard her lit,, the bottom of and knowing his Y0ice,Ys exclamation stairs, entered the room iiv rushing up tv'a formidable weapon withN sec Kit atrainst Lis head. Before the Die force repeated, (Kitty ejaculating her be thafe of a villain,) Mr. W thring nrms around her neck and cried, ''aM don't Kittj 1 for mercy's sake it is W , and you have killed him." "Mr. W , indade," retorted Kitty, in dignantly, struggling to free herself. "Is Mr. W a thafe of a nager?' But Kitty's eyes, as soon as they took pains to look more closely, saw that it was indeed all as the mistress had said. Mr. W had fallen over on his face and head and his white neck was not to be mistaken. The pole dropped from Kitty's hand and with the exclamation, "och I murther," she turned and shot from the room with as good a will as she had entered it. The blow which Mr. W had received was severe, breaking through the flesh, bruising and lacerating the ear badly ; lie recovered Boon, however, and as he rose up, caught sight of himself in a looking-glass that hung oppo- site. We may be sure that it took all par ties in this exciting and tragical affair some time to understand exactly what was the matter. Mr. W 's recollection of the loud mer riment at the "Black Horse the night be fore explained all to him, and set him talk ing in a most unchristianlike manner. Poor Kitty was so frightened at what ehe had done, that she gathered up her goods and chattels and fled instanter, and was never again seen in this neighborhood. As for Mr. W , he was cured of his noctur nal visits to the "Black Horse" and his love of whiskey toddy. Some months after he espoused the temperance cause, and I've heard him tell the story many a time, and laugh heartily at the figure he must haAc cut when Kitty commenced beating him for a "thafe of a nager." Politeness is the Hichiest Degree. There is an anecdote told of an elephant in the Jardin des Plantes, in Paris, which il lustrates the exquisite sense of smell with which elephants are endowed. The interior of an elephant's trunk is lined with an im mense olafactory nerve, by which th ani mal is able to detect tho faintest odors at a distance. He finds that the orange flower vields the most delicions of all perfumes, and travellers state that in Japan elephants may frequently be seen burying their trunks iu the foliage of orange trees to enjoy the fragrance. The other day the large elephant in the Jardin des Plantes suddenly ceased picking up tho bread and cake offered to him by the visitors of the garden, drew in his trunk, and continued to follow along jhe railings of his enclosure a lady who was car rying in her hand aboquetof orange flowers. The laJy's attention was called to his move ments, and she at once held the boquet w ith in his reach. The animal seized the flowers, inhaled the perfume with great delight for several moments, and here comes the least credible portion of the story again put forth his trunk and restored the boquet to the lady. One understands an elephant's passion for sweet smells, but hardly com prehends his manifestation of gallantry and good breeding. Is a crowd, where it was almost impossi ble to keep the toes af our boots off the shortest trails flaunted from hoop-skirts ahead, we were pressing our way towards our ferrv-boat At one side marched a high private," whose face and gait were slightly influenced by something stronger than water. The poor fellow did his best to avoid about a quarter yard of silk hailing from a fairy form just ahead. His best was not good enough, and down came the heavy military boot upon the silk. The face that turned did not smile, and the voice was not extreme ly mild that chided him with, "Take care, Sir!" "Close (clothcs)upin the rear there!' were our orders, marm, always. Them's mil itary orders." The fair face more than smiled, and the worrying crowd joined her laugh with a hearty roar. A Swift Runner. A Mexican corres pondent writes: "We have had some cele brated runners in the United States, but scarcely equal to ayoung Mexican thirty-three years of age, named Ochoa, who lives at Hidulgo, in Southern Chihuahua. He has been known to beat a man on horseback for a distance of thirty miles. He has often made a hundred and fifty miles in twenty four hours. A friend of mine lately gave him five dollors to carry a letter fifty miles, and bring him an answer. He did it in twcnt3'-two hours, taking, as he thought, plenty of time, there being no great hurry. The last fifty miles he made slowly in seven hours, From this may be gained some idea of the trained courier systems of Montez uma and the Peruvian Incas. A California wife'writesfrom San Francis co to her husband in the interior : "Dear Sir It may be proper, and perhaps my duty, to inform you that about two months ago I succeeded in getting my divorce from you, and also that I have since got married again. You may continue your monthly re mittances, as 1 may need them lor your three children." a m Iy " What a striking countenance, said the Yankee to the elephant when he hit him a clip with his trunk.

Coleridge. Lamb once convulsed a company with an anecdote of Coleridge, which without doubt, he hatched in his hoax-loving brain. "I was," ho said, "going from my house at Enfield to the East Indian House one morning when I met Coleridge on his way to pop me a visit He was brim full of some new idea, and, in spite of my assur ing him that time was precious, he drew me within the gate of an unoccupied garden by the roadside, and there, sheltered from ob servation by a hedge of evergreens, he took me by the button of my coat, and closing his eye?, commenced an elegant discource, waving his right hand gently as the musical words flowed in an unbroken stream from his lips. I listened entranced, but the striking clock recalled me to a sense of duty. I saw it was of no nse to attempt to break away; so, taking advantage of his absorp tion in his subject, and with my pen-knife, quietly severing my button from my coat, I decamped. Five hours afterwards, in pass ing the same garden, on way home, I heard Coleridge's voice ; and on looking in, there he was with closed eyes, the button in his fingers, and his right hand gracefully wav ing, just as when I left him. He had never missed me." fiST The other night when the thermome ter stood at zero a prominent citizen was aroused by a violent knocking at the door of his domicil. Supposing that something ex traordinary had happened, he jumped out of bed and opened the door, when he found a boy who questioned him as follows : "Do you live here ? Are j-ou going to live here next Summer? Do you own this house?'1 Upon receiving affirmative answers the boy further interrogated : "Well, Mr. , will you want your garden plowed next Spring, because if you do, I want the job." The prominent citizen" slammed the door and went back to bed with anything but a reli gious turn of mind. tSF- The "Cornwall finish" is quoted against Vermont, in some quarters of the country, as much as the tradition of wood en nutmegs is made a slur upon Connecti cut. A Vermonter who was arrested in Ohio for selling artificially colored merino sheep has turned tables by commencing an action for false imprisonment. The fact that the rain washed out the color was al leged as proof of no fraudulent intent, since the real "finish" is warranted to wash. JDS? A story is told of a soldier who, about one hundred and fifty years ago, was frozen in Siberia. The last expression he made was, "It is ex ." He then froze as stiff as marble. In the Summer of 1S60 some French physicians found him, after having laid frozen for one hundred and fifty years. They gradually thawed him and upon animation being restored he concluded his sentence with "ceedingly cold." tS?"

Julius Caesar. Tho preface to the French edition of Louis Napoleon'B History of Julius Cxsar, furnishes a list of royal personages who have ttT about Caesar, or his celebrated commentaries, or otherwise evinced a deep . interest in the great Roman. Charles VIII., King of France, was a passionate admirer of the Commentaries. This was so prominent a point in his habits of mind that the famous monk Robert Gaguni, presented the king, in 1480, with translation he had just oompieiu French ot the eight books ot the uauic The fact is mentioned in the edition 1500, by the monk himself. The Emperor Charles V. was a iervent admirer of Caesar, and leu among ni a copy of the Commentaries, filled with mar ginal notes in the Emperor e own hanawnt- in". At his request the Viceroy oi oicuy, Ferdinand Gonzaga, dispatched to trance a scientific commission specially to Btudy, Cicsar's campaigns and battles, on the ground. The forty plans drawn by this commission were published in 1575, in Stra da's edition of the Commentaries. , - The Sultan, Soliman II., the contempt, rary of Charles V., had all Europe ransacked for copies of Caesar's Commentaries.- He had them collated, and had a Turkish edw tion prepared for his daily reading. TT TV Kinr of France, translated Ve MS. was placed in the royal library, at It was subsequently withdrawn fof the S of Louis XIII. who then translated le tn vlast books of the Commentaries. Both t"MatIongwere coroVined, and print ed together paiace 0f the Louvre, in 1630. . Louis XIV. tsjatea the first book of the Commentarie?,- waa printed" in folio with engraving... at Taris, in 16oL The work has not eincbiga republished and the edition is now vcryre The great Conde wa3 a cKe student of Cicsar's campaigns, and lent allvis aid and patronage to the translation of tQ Ccrm mentaries, undertaken by Nicholas Porret d'Ablancourt This translation was th fa vorite one in the last century. "kv Christina, Queen of Sweden, composed a volume entitled "Reflections on the Life and Acts of C.csar." Louis Phillippe's father, the Duke of" Or leans, nicknamed "Egalile," was a constant reader of the Commentaries. He had care' fully prepared a map of Cassar'e campaigns in Gaul. Finally, Napoleon Bonaparte, whilst at St Helena, dictated to Count Marcdand a "Summary of Caesar's Wars," which the Count published at Paris, in 1836. Cicero said of the Commentaries : "Caesar has written memoirs worthy of great prais. Lacking in all oratorical art, his style, like a handsome boy undressed, is unadorned, concise and graceful. In thus furnishing material for future historians, he has, per haps, gratified the narrow intellects who will delight in overwhelming his natural grace with frivolous ornament; but for ten sible men, he has deprived thorn forever of the wish to write, for nolhing is more agree able in history than a correct and luminous brevity." Hortius said of the Commentaries : "We have still better reason than others to admire the work ; for others only know how correct and precise the book is, whilst we know, in addition, with what facility and speed it was composed." The Happiest Season. At a festal party cf old and young, the question was asked, "which season of life is the most happy?" After being freely dis cussed by the guests, it was referred for an swer to the host, upon whom was the burden of fourscore years. He asked if they had noticed a grove of trees before the dwelling, ' and said : "When the Spring comes, and in the soft air the buds are breaking on the trees, and they are covered with blossoms, I think, how beautiful is spring ! And when the summer comes, and covers the trees with its beauti ful foliage, andsingingbirdsarcinitsbranches I think, how beautiful is summer 1 When Autumn leads them with golden fruit, and their leaves bear the gorgeous tint of frost, I think j how beautiful is autumn 1 And when it is sere winter and there is neithef foliage nor fruit, then I look though the leaf less branches, as I never could till now, and see tho stars shine.
