Too long had mocked my climbing;
I wrote the poem whose subtle soul
Had long escaped my rhyming:
But the purple mist of the mountain top
Faded - its I drew near it,
A.nd tho poem, alas! how poor the garb
I gave to its gloricius spirit.
Yet men will climb to the mountain top.
Though theclimbing dispels the glory;
And poets will sing, thoughstill they. fail
Of telling the perfect story.
The rose will bloom and the oak will grow
To the bud's and the acorn's racing; -

Though love be its own undoing.

Do you ask me, love. with fond careu,
What poems to me perfect happiness?
A golden day,.and a sapphire sky,
An emerald earth, and you and I
Roaming through woodlands green together,
That's happiness In summer weather.. ,
And say 'tie winter; onteido the snow,
And inside the fire's warm, cheerful glow;!i
And we sit by it, cheek touching cheek,
Silent so - netimes, and sometimes wo eueak;*

Happiness means—to be together.
THE WHITE. POINTER.
The Honorable and Rev. Edward
Lambert. a clergyrran of the Church of
England, found that his health was.

guor seemed to take possession of him;
that English melancholy which comes,
no one knows why or wherefore, and be
could not shake it off. Young, rich,
handsome„eloquent, sure of preferment
in the Church—what was the matter
with the Honorable and Reverend Ed ,
Ward Lambert ?
Redid what all Englishmen do when
other remedies fall—he crossed the
olunmel.
He thought he would seek the raySof
the sun, that luminary so semen in . En

needed.
8o one fine day he sailed for France,
sod soon found himself at Rouen,
trhere be stayed fOr some days, taking
every morning a walk around the
„cathedral, carrying a volume of Dante
i:inder his arm.
One afternoon he walked np the Mont
St. Catherine, and seating_ himself on
the grassy gravely devoted himself to
the Divine Comedy. He had scarcely
lost himself in Dantess t stately measure
when a Htranger approiehed with the
moat petlect courtesr addressed him;
asking if he were an Englishitan, Lind,
if so, 'if he Would permit a few minute's
conversation. -
'I wish to perfect myself in your lan
guage,' said the stranger, smiling, 'and
I always seize every opportunity to
take to an Englishman.' - -
'Yon already speak the' langttege flu=
may, said Mr. Lambert, politely: "sit
down, Monsieur.'
Resting:on the turf, with a glorious
view before them, the two young men
soon found themselves talking glibly of
the news of the day, of Dante, of rail.
gion, politics and the weather. The
Frenchman was very agreeable. well
educated, and up to the times -on all
pants. He immedidely told Mr. Lam
bert that he was a doctor and practicing
his Profession at Rouen.
It was natural that the.young clergy
menshould speak to him of his own
cat*, which he did- freely, asking the
doctor's advice. -
Mi===tl=ME=E!
The'doetor . beiiiine extremely. inter
ested,'and upon examining htr.--Lam
bert's tongue and Pulse, gave him a
prescription. -
• They walked together to Itonen, and
Mr. _Limbed then noticed that.tho
doctor had a beantifut white dog, a
pointer, Which gamboled around his
master's heels.
They separated as. , they reached the,
city,the doctor to go and Bee his patients,
the clergyman to, seek an apothecary,
*here he got his prescription prepared.
The next morning the Honorable and
Reverend Mr. Lambert was better.
The doctor's prescription' bad made
him sleep. It had given him strength;
he - felt an. appetite for _breakfast.
Months of treatment in London at the
hands of the best .physicians' had not
•
done this for him. -
He Wistkedlo that& and' to ,rtimuner
ate the doctor, when he remembered
.that he did not know Libra:awe. In
stinct, told him, thathe might meet him
again on the Mont Eft. Catharine. So,
with renewed hope, health and energy,
be walked to the top of the hill.
In five minutes 'he was joined by the
French Doctor and his dog, who (lame

in the grass.
The two men greeted each other with
smiles, and shook hands cordially.
- "Yon have saved my life, doctor.''said
Mr. Lambert, with unusual enthusiasm.
'Not at all, my my dear friend,' said the
doctor; only gave you a good tonic;
which also made you sleep. I found

in medicine seem to have found out)
that you have nothing the matter with

and, my friend. you are all right !'
NoNi came the delicate qnestion of
money, and the Englishman felt for the
proverbial guinea.
He tendered it to the French doctor,
who laughingly pushed it away, with
.a very soft, well-formed white hand.
'Never, never,' said he; 'for so slight
a service; permit me to makemy advice
a return for a lessen in English: conver
sation !'
It was gracefully done, and the em-.
barrassed Englishman, put hiS gold
batik into his pocket.
'Doctor,' said he, in a low voice,
hesitatingly, ins an Englishman, and
I bate to be under an obligation; you

me to be of some service to you. I leavo
here. by rail, at one o'clock to-morrow
morning, -for Psris, until then Lam at

ao anything for yon ?' .
The (lector reflected a moment and
looked at his dog.
I
'I don't know, indeed; and yea I do
happeu to think of one thing. I Yon
might save me a. 'journey to Paris,
which, with my engagements, is just
now inconvenient. But it is asking too
much, perhaps.',' -
'What—bow—too much ?' said the
•
clergyman. ,
'Well, I have a number of sick peo . -
ple undar My charge; whom I treat for
disease of the brain. One of these, is a
very rich woman, who is slightly de
ranged. Unhappily she has determined
to
_return to Paris, and haw no auth
ority to detain her. I perceive thlat she
will fret until this caprice is gratified. I
must go with her to place her in charge
of her friends, and I have been pitting
it off, from day to day, because I can
not leave my other patients, }he s_ deity
of taking her home. Now. if on would
escort her, it would be a real service,'
said the doctor. -
'My debt sir, a crazy young woman,
at one o'clock at night, and I a clergy
man of the Church of Engfano said
Mr. Lambert, forgetting hie late grati
tude.
'Oh, she is forty-six, my dear sir, and
her mania is a very quiet one. She
luois and acts like a sheep, poor wo-
MOM, and she will smireely speak to a
stianger. Ido not know that she will
go with yon. The hour is rather early
—one in the morning—but still, , I
might ask her, and it will be a real
favor to me.'
In
glripg her along , doctor 1' said the
clergyman, ashamed of his own reluc
tance; "bring her along—a sheep and
ferty.six—l will take care of your pa
tient to Parisi'
Talking in this way they reached the
gates of the city. Before separating
the doctor gava his, card to Mr. Lam
bert...
'Au rivoir,' raid he; 'and perhaps
adieu. my dear sir. Let me hear from
tune to time; and I hope if we never
meet again that you will retain; as I
shall do, an agreeable recollection of

again, 88 my friend may not be .willing

- Mr. Lambert glanced at the doctor's
card, feeling anew the gmbarrassment
of the possible night journey: with an in
sane W 013114 and regretting his promise,
in spite of his gratitude.
He read on the card—

lIPMMUMIME DISCOVERY ' 4 ' 3P Mtb•ESSOB
Just as winter is apptpaohnig, says
the Philadelphia Record, withi all- the

Heohelmeyer, the well known philolo

Berlin, but now residing with a friend
on North Broad street, pear Thompson,
tells a Record reporter of the . discovery
of, a new and wonderful insect, which
he names the amen anthracittut which
means coal-bug. E The ' , Professor had
related discovery some. weeks ago to
Mr. Sayre, of the Lehigh Valley Road
to Mr. Thomas, of Bright, Tionias &Co.
and to Mr. David Foy, 'the:confidential
agent of the heading Road, hoping
that some means would- be :`taken taken to
have these
,dangerous insects killed at
the mines instead of the risk being
.run
of having them introduced into the
residences, warehouses 'Or* factories of
private consumers, thereby - endanger
inglife, limb and'property.
After considerable hesitation the
Professor consented to relate to the re
porter his experiences — with this insect.
He said that taking the result of Pro

where he found that minute corpuscles

ing together formed immense deposits,
it - is not surprising that Professor
Bodagash, of Stockholm, whom he met
in Gottingen last .year, should appear
with a new species of bug which might
be considered as : a decendant of the
prehistoric tree-bug, and which is now
found in coal in great quantities, and
threatens to undermimany valuable
coal beds. "It is very noticeable,"
said Professor Hechalmeyer, "that the
so-called coal dust is pecnhar on account
of its round appearance. 'Uttort exami
nation with the microscope it is found
that these' particles are covered with
millions of these - cinze.z withracilvs.
Each one is about the size of the head
of a needle, flat in appearance, and are
plentiful at the bottom of coal veins,

has six spots on his back. !
The female is broad and has nine
spots. But why those spots vary in the
sexes is something that has pazzlel

The Professor went on- at length to
give a description , of these bags and .
their - evil- propensities. _ He said that

that escaped forced their way to "the

"You have often noticed," said the
Professor, "that when coal is first
placed upon a lire, or when it is ignited
there is a crackling, hissing noise, and
pieces fly about in the grate or range.
This is caused by the •death struggles of
these insects. The more of these there
are in coal the quicker it: barns.
Housekeepers often wonder why it is
that one ton of coal will last longer
than another. - The cause 'of this is
easily explained: One has more of the

Boarding-house keepers who purchase

Coal miners who imbibe large _quan

some dealers had become aware of
