HARVEST HYMN.
Once more the liberal year lausls out
O'er richer stores than gems or gold;
Once more with harvest (one and shout
I nature's bloodless triumph told.
Our common mother reeta and sings
Lik Bath among her garnered sheaves;
Her lap is full of goodly things.
Her trow is bright with Autumn leaves.
O favors old, yet ever new !
O bles-inga with tbe sunshine sent !
The bounty overruns our due.
The fullnees shames our discontent.
We shut onr yes. the flowers bloom on;
We murmur, but the com ears fill ;
We choose tbe shadow, but tbe sun
That ca- U it shines behind ns stilL
GoJ gives ns with our rugged soil
The power to make it Eden fair.
And richer fruit to crown our toil
Than Sua mer-weddud islands bear.
Who murmurs at bis lot to-dav.'
Who scorns his nvtive fruit and bloom.
Or si Kg for dainties far away,
Besides the bounteous board of home !
Tl:ank Heaven, instead, that freedom s arm
Can change a rocky soil to gold ;
That brave and generous lives can warm
A e-inie with Northern ices cold.
And by these altars wreathed with flowers.
And fields of fruits, awake again
Thanksgiving for the golden hours.
The early and the latter rain.

"True ; but I care for him."
Day after day went on, and of all the
gentlemen who had called on Mrs. ( raven
and her niece, Isabel had wen none, for all
her kind friends insisted upon it.
One day, Isabel, passing by the parlor
door, came face to face with Ellen and
Charles Roberts. How she hated herself
for that sudden blush she felt burning on
her cheeks ; but as she glanced up and
caught Ellen' seomf in, angered eyes she
suddenly grew perfectly composed and
calm.
" Isabel, is tlus really you ? Why I had
not the slightest idea you bad come to Sirs.
Craven's. Are you well and happy V
lie bent to whisper quickly the last word.
Isabel gave him her hand with her old-time
grave quiet and hauteur.
"Quite, thank you. The friends in
Daisydale are all well ?
"Oh, yes; and you can't conceive how
many of them miss you."
" That is pleasant to know. I am in
somewhat of a hurry, Charles Mr. Rob
erts. Good-bv: and she hastened on with-
! out another word.
Once in her room she sat composedly
down to her work, while Mrs. Craven was
j out for her noon ride.
She wondered if Charles had forgotten
! her that is, ceased to care for her She
asked herself the question in a careless sort
' of war, and then went on to think how
i nice he and Ellen looked together ; and of
a sudden a frightful revelation came to her
so sudden it fairly took her breath so
blissful, her senses ached with the ioy, and
yet so dreadful she thought she should not
survive it. All this in a magical second,
and the revelation was this she loved
C harles Roberta, and had loved him all the
timo; aDj ue iove)i ha no 0nga, but Ellen
Folsom.
At that moment Ellen came in, in all the
blooming beauty and stylish elegance that j
rienced the truth of her lover's words that 1
iHilit thev parted.
- Ycve not decided on the wedding-day
but Charles is in a great hurry. Most lov-
ers are, I suppose. But vou are goin? to
wish me joy P
oh, of course, all in the world !"
she wasn't very enthusiastic but it was
on-y utr that forced her to speak ; her
heart was too sore.
.vnj there' another Using, Isaliel. You
muA p!mi,m me for saying it, but Tin sure
your gpoj judj;cnitnt will approve. Charli-s
has told me of your little love-passage;
and I thought that as you had once !een fo
much to him, and hell be coming here so
often, it would be prudent for you to find
another"'
Isabel had risen to her feet almost at the I
.j nave to think my presiding stars for 1
suggesting that story. I knew her proud j
Sp-Irjt would up in arms and leave me a
cit.ai - fied to win him. I only hope I have
uttered a prophecy. As if I didn't read
aright their secret '."
She had made a slight mistake, however.
And poor Isa'oeL her cheek burning,
walked on to the station that she had ar
rived at so lately, wondering where she
would go, when a glad, joyous voice called
her name.
"Isabel, were you going home to me, as
you promised me to do if you needed me (
she instinctly recoiled a step. Then,
seeing that no one was in the waiting-room
but themselves, she threw back her veil and
gave him the full benefit of her indignation,
"How dare you ask me such a question,
when your lips have so lately asked Ellen
Folsom to be your wife? Charles Roberts,
I thought better of you."
And then she cried. Wasn't it just like
a sensitive, loving, over-wrought woman to
do that ? And Charles Roberts' heart gave
a great throb of delight.
"Oh, my Isabel. Xow I know that you
love me. I never have spoken of love to
any woman saving yourself. Isabel, you
believe mc ? You love me at last ?"
Like a solemn truth, she could not help
believing, came the blessed knowledge to
her.
'I believe you. I love you ! "
An hour later when the railway omnibus
drove up to Mrs. Craven's for the trunks,
Ellen met the two at the door.
"Please send Mrs. Roberts' trunk down,
Miss Folsom."
A Serious Fall.
'You are very late this morning, Mr.
Jinks," was the gruff salutation of a
city merchant to one of his clerks. "Do
not let it happen again."
"Very sorry," said the clerk,
humbly. "I met with a serious fall."
"Ah, indeed," said the merchant, re
lenting. "How did It happen? Are
you hurt much?"
"Principally sir, in your estimation,'
said the clerk respectfully.
"Oh, never tniud,"aid the merchant
in a kinder tone ; "never mind that. I
commisserate you. We are all liable to
accidents. How did you get the fall?"
"Well you ee, sir," said the clerk,
confidingly, "I was called quite early
this mornig in fact, you will observe,
sir, somewhat earlier even than usual."
"Ah !"
"Yes, sir; but somehow or other, I
fell asleep again."
"Mr. Jinks, you're a humbug!" ex
claimed the merchant, in a bantering
tone, for, In spite of hi gruffness, be

sir, and don't try it on again."
Could We Live la the Polar Regions?
If we carefully eramine, tbe almost
universal features of all the land
known to us, we find a prevailing form
wherever we turn. Each territorial
area of magnitude seems to haveappend
age trending southward. If we apply
this rule, by turning the Xorth Pole of
globe toward us, we readily see at a
glance 'hat Greenland, which is known
to us, may bear to an unknown Arctic
Continent the same relation that South
America does to Xorth America, or
Africa to Europe. Hence it Is perfect
ly logiettl to infer, by the great analogy
of nature, that an Arctic Continent ex
ists beneath the Xorth Pole, extending
three and a half to four decrees south
from the northern axuof the earth. As
previous Arctic expeditions have ad
vanced to 83 degrees, 20 minutes, north
latitude or within 301 miles of the
Pole, the distance thence to such a con
tinent would not exceed 150 to ISO
miles. This Intervening spac, how
ever, is diilicult to traverse, as it pre
sents a very rough surface. If the sea
during the height of a gale, when the
waves run mountain lilgli, were in
stantly frozen, it would present much
the appearance hercencouutered. For
ethnologists, the question is: Can an
Arctic Continent be inhabited, should
one exist? This may be met by the
well known fact that the latitude of 73
degrees is about the point of lowest
mean temperature. The earth is about
thirty-seven miles more in diameter at
the equator than from pole to pole,
having enlarged at one point and flat
tened at another, because of its revol v
ing motion. Now it is well known
that lower temperatures are encount
ered as we ascend high altitudes, and
the depression at the poles may, by les
sening the distance of the surface from
the earth's ceuter, atlbrd a warmer
temperature, which will enable the
hardy Esquimaux. Aiuos, or some Hy
perborean race, to exist upon an Arctic
Continent.
After a Mouse.
I was quietly reading my newspaper
the other morning, when I heard a
scream like the whiste of a locomotive,
coming from the diuing-room.
i rushed in to see what was the mat-
U"i ud found my wife standing on a
chair, w ith her skirts drawn tight
;arouud her ankles.
"It's a mouse !' she said wildly.
"H'hereJ" I demanded.
There here no yes, I don't know !
Oh. for pitj 's sake, kill it ! Kill it "
"Where is it?" I sked again.
'There's no mouse here."
"Yes, there is, you old fool ! Don't
yo;i see it? There! somewhere any-
1 where everywhere I don't kuow
j where ! Why don't j o a kill it ?"
I Mrs. li. isn't fond of mice. She would
rather have a hundred dollars about
the house than a single mouse; and
the sight 01" one makes the hairpins
drop out of her head
"Madam," said l.wunaiiawtul calm
ness, "tell me where that diminutive
rodent mammal is, or forever hold your
peace."
"It is I11 the cupboard," she gasped.
"I saw it run under the cupboard
door."
I walked over to the cupboard with
the tread of a gladiator, aud opened it.
Before I could get my eyes in range
to look for the mouse, , it jumped out
anj ran rj,rUt over my foot
"1 tave an awful kick a tremoud-
gave
ous heart-rending kick. And my foot
went clear up to the top of the cup
board, aud the back of my head struck
the floor so hard that I saw all the plan
ets and comets that were ever invented.
I picked myself up aud looked wildly
around for the mouse.
"There it is:" shrieked Mrs. B.
"There there ! Quick!"
"Where?" I roared.
"Behind the table!"
I sprung to the table, seized one end
of it, and gave it a jerk that brought it
to the middle of the floor.
The mouse scampered.
I saw him running around the room,
and plunged after.
I tried my best to to step ou him, but
only succeeded on stepping on a spool
of thread, which my wife had dropped
in her excitement.
The spool rolled, and before I had
time to shut my eyes I found mysel!
standing on my shoulders, gazing cur
iously up at my feet, which were try
ing to scrape a picture of Benjamin
Franklin off the wall.
As soon as I got on my legs again, I
made another bolt for the mouse.
1 saw it whizzing across the door,
and I bounded toward it, and gave one
furious kick.
And kicked tbe table.
Then I just grabbed myself up, and
carried myself round on one foot howl
ing like a prairie-wolf, and calling for
arnica and corn salve, till I heard Mrs.
B. screaming :
"Don't let it get away, you fool ! Get
something and kill it!"
I was desperate.
I snatched the first thing I could lay
my hands on, which happened to be a
base-ball bat belonging to Lot, and I
made one murderous sweep.
But instead of killing the mouse, I
upset the chair en which my w ife was
standing, and the result was that she
turned a very graceful EOiniuerset over
against tbe pantry door.
She screamed for help, and declared
the mouse was eating her np, and re
fused to be comforted till I had placed
her on the chair again.
Then she didn't have breath enough
left to ctll me a brute, though she tried
until she was black In the face.
By this time I was thoroughly excit
ed, but I knew I must try another kind
of weapon.
I saw something on the table, and I
made a grab tor it It proved to be a
warm huckleberry pie, but I didn't
know it at the time.
I thought I saw the mouse running
up the wall, and I hurled the pie at it.
But at that moment my daughter
opened the door, and .walked Into the
PEXNA., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1S79.
dining-room, and the pie struck her
square in tbe face and smashed.
She began to fchriek, and sputter.and
jump up and down, and declare that
she was bleeding to death.
And Lot, attracted by the noise, came
rushing In, just in time to get hit in the
mouth with a loaf of bread, which
frantically flung at the mouse.
But the mouse darted through tbe
open door, and escaped to the next
room.
We all followed it, pell-mell.
The little quadruped took refuge in
th clothespress, and my wife, who, by
this time, had got a little courage,seiz
ed the fire-shovel, and cried out :
"You open the door, and I'll kill him
as he come out. !"
We planted oui selves in position.and
when Mrs. B, gave the word I threw
open the clothespress door.
I saw the mouse in an instant : it
had climbed upon a shelf, and was sit
tii g therejust on a level with my eyes.
"There it is I bawled. "Hit it quick!
It's going to jump over our heads "
Before I could utter another sylable
the end of the earth struck me.
A billion stars danced before my eyes
and as I slowly gathered myself up out
of the corner, I began to realize that
Mrs. B. in aiming a blow at the mouse,
bad hit me in the head with the fire
shovel. Then we all set up sueb a yell that in
five minutes about thirty neighbors
had come in to see what was the mat
ter, and in less than half an hour all
the mouse-traps and cats and dogs in
the neighborhood were there, to make
war oa that one little mouse; and there
was some talk about calling in the po
lice force, and telegraphing the Gov
ernor to scud us a squad of militia.
But happily this was not found nec
essary. The mouse was speedily dispatched
by a Scotch terrier, and we finally got
the house cleared, though it took Mrs.
li. the rest of the day to put things to
rights.
As for me, my bump of philoprogeul
tiveness is so large that it takes a num
ber nine hat to go round it.
A Pie of Living Serpents.
In the savannas of Isacubo, in Gui
ana, I saw the most wonderful, the
most terrible spectacle that can be feen ;
and although it is not uncommon to
the inhabitants, no traveler has ever
mentioned it. We were ten men on
horseback, two of whom took the lead
in order to sound the passage, while 1
preferred to skirt the great forests. One
of the blacks who formed the vanguard
returned at full gallop, and called to
me, "Here sir, come aud see serpents
inapi'.e!" He pointed out to me some
thing elevated in the middle of the
savanna, which appeared like a bundle
of arms. One of my company then
said, "This is certainly ons of those as
semblages of serpents which heap
themselves on each other after a vio
lent tempest. I have heard of these
but never have seen any. Let us pro
ceed cautiously, and not go too near
When we were within twenty paces of '
it, the terror of our horses prevented
our approach, to w hich, however, none
of u were inclined. Suduenly the
pyramidial mass became agitated, hor
rible sounds issued from it, and thou
sands of serpents rolled spirally over
each other, shooting forth out of the
circle their hideous heads and present
ing their envenomed darts and fierv
eyes to us. I own I was one of the
first to draw baek. But when I saw
that this formidible phalanx remained
at this post, and appeared to be more
disposed to defend itself than to attack
us, I rode round it it in order to view
its order of battle, which faced the en
emy on every side. I then sought
what could be the design of this numer
ous assemblage, and 1 concluded that
this species of serpents dreaded some
coliosseau enemy, which might be the
great serpent, or the cayman, and that,
having seen this enemy, they unite
themselves in order to resist them in
mass.
Koblns in Church.
One pleasant April Sunday the par
ish clerk of a church in Wittshire, Eng
land, stood at his reaJing desk turning
to the morning "lesson" in the prayer
bock. The congregation waited to give
the responses, but he did not begin as
soon as usual. Something curious had
caught his eye, pirtly hidden under
the Bible rack, a slanting ledge, slight
ly raised above the main desk. He
looked more closely and there, directly
beneath the Bible, he saw a robin red
breast's nest, with two pretty blue
eggs iu it. Mrs. Redbreast and her
mate had found a hole left by a small
missing pane in one of the quaint old
leaden windows and entered the sacred
house to make their little home where
the sparrow and the swallow did that
are mentioned in the S4th Psalm. The
clerk could not resent so pretty an in
trusion, and did not disturb the nest;
and when one of the birds flew In be
fore the close of service nothing was
done to frighten it. And there the
nest remained through the restof April
and nearly the whole of May, the red
breasts becoming so tame that the gath
ering of the worshipper and the
voices and music of the service 011 Sun
day or other day did not alarm them
away. The sitting bird would stay,
quietly brooding her eggs, while the
clerk was reading almost directly over
her head. After the young were
hatched the male robin would fly in
with worms In his bill to feed them,
and his coming never disturbed the
litany or the rector's sermon. Thi
pleasant sanctuary partnership lasted
till the full fledged young were able to
leave the church aud trust to their own
new wings. The people felt that the
birds had brought a blessing with them
and were sorry when they went away.

Keuiaraable Vitality.
Col Jones, of Louisiana, was lynched
for tbe murder of Gen. Lydell. He
fought a duel before the war and re
ceived an ounce rifle ball through bis
heart. He not only recovered, but was
never afterward troubled with disease
of that organ, from which he had pre
viously suffered. At the time ot his
killing he was shot no less than a dozen
times with heavy charges of buckshot
betore he expired. A private soldier in
Powers' regiment of Confederate cav
airy, while charging at Olive Branch
was thrust through the bowels with a
bayonet, and literally "pitchforked"
from the horse, but he disengaged him
self, staggered to his feet and split his
assailant's skull in twain with a sabre.
Within four mouths he was again in
active service. T. B. Edwards and E.
Daigree, of the Second Louisiana Cav
alry, were both shot through the bow
els at the battle of Rafourche Crossing
and were pronounced by the surgeons
as fatally wounded, the bullets not
glancing as iu some other cases, but,
cutting through the intestine, lioth
men recovered anddid duty afterwards
in two or three campaigns. Au-
guste Morey, a scout for the Trans-
Mississippl army, was shot betweeuthe
eyes, the bullet lodging In the back of
bis head, where it is yet. After his
fall an Ohio infantryman rushed up

of the French army, and he showed mc
a ghastly wound he had received from
an artilleryman's cutlass at the storm
ing of the Malakoff. The cut had been
down through his left shoulder,, sever-
ng his collar bone and nearly lopping
off that arm. That side of the old gen
tleman's body was about an inch lower
than the other, but he was not other

Summer Drinks.
WLen the summer season and the
heated term arrive tbe thought natu
rally arise.', what are the best things to
cat and drink without promoting over
heating and indigestion? Heretofore
it has been customary to prepare 'sodas'
mixed with syrups artificially made
from chemicals, which, while giving
the flavors of fruits, impregnated the
system with deleterious compounds.
Bu: lately the pure juice of the fruit,
being amalgamated with pure white
sugar, has taken the place of the un
wholesome compounds. It is necessary
to ferment the juice In order to keep it
and when so fermented it is bottled and
put away for the next season. When
the time comcVto prepare the syrups for
market, the w hite sugar is boiled by
steam, after which the juice of the fruit
is added. There are many varieties of
fru't "yriips that can thus be utilized
for making ummer drinks, and if con
sumers are positive in their demand for
pure fruit syrup, and take no other
they will not only prove agreeable but
also healthy and cooling. These varie
ties comprise strawberry, raspberry,
pineapple, blackberry, grape, vanilla,
lemon, orange, orgeat, ginger, sarsa
parilla and a compound of all under the
name of sherbet. Br mixing these
syrups with eveu cold water, a pure,
cooling drink can be secured at a small
expense and without leaving home, as
the manner of packing the syrups is
such that every family can have an as.
sortment on their pantry shelves with
out occupying much room or entailing
any very heavy expense. The trade in
pure syrups has lately become an ex
tensive one, exceeding that transacted
,n former years in the chemical com
pounds, which are being rapidly driven
from the market by the pure fruit
juices. It is estimated that the annual
sale, although comparatively in Its in
fancy, is from 23,000 to 50,000 cases of
one dozen bottles each, containing
either a pint or a quart, according to
the desire of the purchasers. Large
quantities are also sent abroad iu bar
rels, but the greater part finds market

The Lace-Hark Tree.
Theorder Thymclacect, or "Dtipnads,"
comprises a very interesting group of
plants, whether we regard them as ob
jects of floral beauty, or look at them
from an industrial point of view. The
name of the order is derived irom tAjc
melxa, a plant mentioned by the an
cients. The plants included in this
group are shrubs or low trees, with en
tire leaves, perfect flowers, tubular col
ored calyx, and small round hairy fruit
inclosed in jjf persistent baseof the pe
rianth. They are remarkable for their
acrid and caustic bark, the inner por
tion of which is composed of interlaced
bers, extremely tough, but easily sep
arable, and hence often used for mak
ing cordage. The plants Of this rrder
occur in great abundance In the cooler
parts of India, South America, South
Africa, and Australia; a few also oc
cur in Europe. Among the Dupnads
may be mentioned the Gnidfa dttphnoides,
the bark of which is manufactured in
Madagascar into ropes; the Daphne
bholua, the inner barkot which is made
iuto a soft paper InXepauI ; and Daphne
canncbina, used for the same purpose in
China. The only representative ot the
order found in North America is our
common leather wood or wicopy (Dirca
palustris), the bark of which, on ac
count of it great toughness is used for
making ropes, baskets, etc. Among
other curious products of Jamaica usu
ally brought borne by travelers, speci
mens of the "vegetable lace" ol that
island are always sure to be found.
The plant which produces this is the
Laqctta Vntearia (formerly called Daphne
agettal), or lace-bark tree, otherwise
known by the native name of legetto.
It is a small tree, 25 to 30 feet hlgh.grow
!ng iu tbe most inaccessible rocky
places of the island. Its inner bark
consists ot numerous concentric lajers
of fiber, which interlace in every direc
tion, forming fine messhes, and by lat
eral stretching is made to present a
trikiug resemblance to the most deli
cate manufactured lace, whence the
common name of the tree. It Is said
that Charles II. received as a present
from the Governor of Jamaica a cravat,
frill, and pair of ru flies, made of this
material ; and, to this day, it is used
for bonnet, collars, and other aaitcles
of apparel. Travelers state tint the
Creole women take delight iu decora

Am Imaginary Cool Koora.
Here is my idea of a cool room, such as
I mean to have when I shall have realized
from some large estates in pain : The room,
first of all is a parallelogram, and the miwt
noticeable feature therein is the small win
dows which are placed in the center of the
upper half of the room, protected on the
outside by awnings. Thus such light as
reaches the apartment is toned down, and
unless special effort is made, the occupant
has no knowledge of the sultry atmosphere
ithout. The windows, moreover, are pro
tected on the inside by lace curtains of light
gray tint, upon which airy floral designs
are traced. The drapery falrs nearly to the
floor, and is suspended by. means of rings
to an arrow of pale green color with gilt
barb and feather. The green cords and
tassels which arc fastened Mow the window
proper draw the curtains back, and are con
fined ia a gilt quiver. ISetwecn the lace
j folds thus drawn back are hung suggestive
ly cool pictures of water, scenes of ice and
snow, with occasional parian statuettes on
j brackets. One third of the wall is painted
! of the same green tuit as the arrow shaft
1 and cords, while the remainder is white. Iu
