LESSON OF LIFE.
’Tis very strange, ’tis very strange,
The fancies of our early years,
Despite of chnucc. despite of ebango
Can thus melt manhood into tears?
’Tis very strange, the simplest things,
No mailer what they wete, we loved,
Are those the memory eagerest. brings,
And those the last to be removed,
A word, a tone, a look, a song,
A bird, a bee, a leaf, a flower:
These to the self-same class belong,
Aud all of them* they have this power;
And all about, tho heart they bring
Their memories—a potont spell!
As parting friends still kiss anil cling,
And must, yet cannot say, farewell.
Now’ti3 not, that there is not found
As much to see, and foel, and love;
The earth is just as fair around,
The sky is just as blue above ;
Birds sing, bees hum, brooks prattle near,
Musiu of the world a part,
And warm, warm words arc in the ear,
And heart beats fondly unto heart.
Aud yet, the heart lies cold and dead—
Its finer feellings will uot glow ;
The blossoms all aro withored,
We once did lore and cherish so;
And wo look round, and wc look back
At things of Life's young morning-hour,
And wonder thoso of manhood’s track,
Have not as soft aud sweet a power.
And then we ask, since this wo see,
If thus, in running out life’s span,
We most be what wo would not. be,
That cold, cure-fretted creature, man?
If earth must change as on we go,
If life, aud loveliness, and truth
Must pass from every thing below,
With the delightful days of youth?
Alas, alas., as wc move on,
If this the heart from bliss must sever.
Bettor were manhood not beguu—•
Better wo children be for ever!

Bread and Butter.—Hall, in liis
Journal of Health, gives the following bit
of wisdom : Bread and butter are the only
articles of foed of which wc never tire from
early childhood to extreme old age. A
pound of finoflour or Indian meal contains
three timesas much moat as ono pound of
butcher’s roast beef; and if the whole
product of the grain, bran and all, were
made into bread, fifteen per cent, more of
nutriment wouiu do aauea. umortumue
ly the bran, tho coarsest part of which
gives soundness to tho teeth and strength
to the brain, is generally excluded. Five
hundred pounds of flour give to the bony
thirty pounds of the body aliment, while
the same quantity of bran gives more than
one hundred and twenty-five pounds.
This bone is lime, the phosphate oflimo,
tho indispensable aliment of health to the
whole human body, from the want of
which multitudes of persons go into gen
eral decline. But swallowing phosphate
in tho shape of powders or in syrups to
cure these declines has little or no effect.
The articles eontaiued in these phosphates
must pass through nature’s laboratory ; be
subject to her manipulations in alembics
specially prepared by Almighty power aud
skill. In plainer phrase, the shortest, saf
est and infallible method of giving strength
to the body, bone and brain, thereby ar
resting disease and building up the con
stitution, is to eat and digest more bread
made out of the whole gtnin, whether
wheat, corn, rye or oats
Wide Dry Goods Again Advance '?
—On this subject the Now York Sun
takes a nogative position, and reasons as
follows:
The price of raw cotton was at one stage
of the rebellion over one dollar per pouiid.
Now the average price in New York is less
than forty cents a pound, tho reduction
being caused, not by any increase in sup
ply, for little cotton has been grown since
the high figures were current; but it is
caused by the certainty of supply in the
future. The decline in the value of im
ported goods is attributable partly to the
same cause but dlrect.lv to the decline in
gold. Now there is no probability that
gold will advance to any material extent,
nor is it likely that any new cause will
intervene to occasion distrust in relation to
the supply of cotton; consequently there
is no ground upon which to base the opin
ion that prices in the dry goods market
# will again advance. The present decline
has been very steady and gradual. It has
occurred in spite of the most strenuous op
position of the speculative interests, and
it may be set down as the natural and le
gitimate effect of the transition of a coun
try from a condition of unrest and excite
ment to a condition of comparative confi
dence, stability and certainty
How Coal was Discovered is Pennsylva
nia.—A writer in the New Vork Observer as
serts that Colonel Geo. Shoemaker, a gentle
man of Teutonic origin, was the discoverer of
Pennsylvania coal, lie lived on the Schuyl
kill, and owned, extensive tracts. The writer
goes on to say:
It chanced one day that in constructing a
lime-kiln he used some of the black atones that
were lying about the place. “Mine got!
mine Got! der sthonos pe all on fire!” ex
claimed the astonished Dutchman, when the
rich glow of the ignited anthracite met his
gaze. Tiio neighbors, who. of course were few
and far between, were, after much ado, as
sembled to witness the marvel. This happen
ed in 1812. Shortly after, mine host loaded
a Pennsylvania team with the black stones,
ivikI journeyed slowly to Philadelphia, a dis
tance of ninety-three miles. There unforseen
difficulties were presented. The grates and
stoves then in use were not constructed to fa
cilitate the combustion of anthracite, and
burn it would not! After many ineffectual
efforts to ignite the product, it was thrown
» i lo as worthless, and our discomfited Ger
man, who had beguiled his toilsome way to the
metropolis with dreams of ingots, returned to
digest his disappointment in his mountain
t Jiiiude.

Music.
BY LKIUlt BUST.
“Blest pair of syrens, pledge of Hcavou’s joy,
Hpbero-born harmonious sisters, Voice and
Verse,
Wed your divine sounds.” .Villon.
Music is under no necessity of speaking any
language but its own. A benutifulinstrumea
tal composition in its <fwn poetry,exciting the
feelings and imagination wit lutnt need of the
intervention of words, nnd litterings, in foot,
a more direct voice of the mystery nnd beauty
of passion than the poetry itself. There is
something so angelical in its being thus in
dependent of speech; that it seems a kind of
stray language from some unknown and
divine sphere, where the inhabitants are
above the necessity of words ; and indeed it is
a constant, part of tho charm of music to seem
as if it signified still more than we have hurmin
words to express; while, on the other band, it
is so linked with all our faculties, and has
certain properties of accord and sequence in
its composition so appealing to our very rea
son and logic, that it is no refinement to say
one feels sometimes as if it wore pursuing
some wonderful and profound argument
—laying down premises, interchanging qitcs
tions and answers, and drawing forth deduc
tions equally conclusive and bewitching,'so
that our very understanding is convinced,
though wc know nothingofthe mysterous topic.
There are more things in heaven and earth
than are dreamt of in all philosopoy; and
music assuredly contains its due portions of
them.
-—-1 pi i—i
What is (Ji.rcEKi.NF. 1—We know but little of
the chemical composition of this thing “gly
cerine ; but there is respectable authority for
saying it is the swoct principle of oil, and is
extensively used for purposes of tho toilet,
though it has now received an application of
rather an unexpected nature. In 1817, a
pupil of M. l’clouve’s, discovered that gly
cerine, when treated with nitric acid, was
converted into a highly explosive substance
which he called nitroglycerine. It is oily,
heavier than water, soluble in alcohol and
ether, and acts so powerfully on the nervous
system that a single drop placed on tho point
of the tongue will cause a violeut headache,
which will last for several hours. This liquid
seems to have been a! most forgot ten by chemists
and it is only now that M. Nublo, a Swedish
engineer, has suceeded in applying it to a
very important branch of his art—namely,
blasting.
From a paper addressed by h im to tho Acad
emy of Siences, we learn that the chief advan
tage which this substance composed of ono part
of glycerine and three parts of nitric acid,
possesses, is, that it requires n much smaller
holo or chamber than gunpowder does, the
strength of the latter being scavcly ono tenth
of tl e former. Hence the minor’s work, which,
according, to the hardness of the rock, repre
sents some live to twenty times the power of
tue gunpowuer useu, is so snort tnat tne cost
of blasting is often reduced by fifty per cent.
The process is very easy. If the chamber of
the mine presents fissures, it must be lined
with clay to mako it watertight; done, the
nitro-glyeeriuo is poured in, the water after
it, which, being the lighter liquid, remained
at. the top, A slow match with a well charged
permission cap at one end, is then introduced
into the nitro-glycerino. The mine may then
bo sprung by lighting the match, there being
no need of tampering. On the 7th of last
month, three experiments were made with
this new compound in the open part of the tin
mines of Altenburg in Saxony.
In one of these a chamber, thirty-four
miliemetres in diameter, was made perpen
dicularly in a dolomitic rock sixty feet iu
length, and at a distance of fourteen feet from
its extremity, which was vertical. At a depth
of eight feet a vault filled with clay was found,
in consequense of which the bottom of the
hole was framed, havinga depth of seven feet;
Otto litroand a half of uitro-glycerino was then
poured in ; it occupied five feet; a match and
a stopper were then applied as stated, and the
mine sprung. The effect was so enormous as
to make a fissure fifty feet, in length, and an
other seventy. But even that terific demon
stration of force seems to have been surpassed
by the explosion, or series of explosion—for
thoro were three of thorn—on board the ill
fated European,
Wo commend those facts to all whom It may
cpuoeru hero at home, iu the hope that if there
is any such lurking demon in our city ware
house, means may bo at once resorted to,
eitlicr'to make hint secure, or hnvo him re
moved altogether from metropolitan limits.—

Fkm.ino Trees in’ Euu:.—The idea of
burnning down a tree six or eight feet iu
diameter, and solid and groon, would have
scented t o bo as simply absurd and ridiculous.
But the tiling is done in Oregon every day at
a vast saving of time and labor. The operation
is performed iu this wise: A hole is bored
into the tree horizontally, the nearer the center
the better. Then directly under this hole .an
other is bored at an angle of elevation such
that the holes moot together near tlie center
' of the tree. A coal of tire with a little kindling
j is introduced into the orifice thus formed, and
! the lower hole causes a draught, and the upper
| one performs the functions of a'chimney. The
heart of the tree is dry, and contains a con
i siderabie amount of pitch, and when tnantpu
! lated as 1 have decri bed, burns briskly
U is geueraly ncecossary to lee l this five
with some fresh fuel from time to time But
one man can keep a laTge number ol' trees thus
j burning, ami will get twenty or a hundred
trees down thus much quicker and easier than
j he could otherwise do- In a similar manner,
when the tree is cut down, it is cut into peices
by being burned in t Wo. A whole is bored
into the log from the top, and another from
tho side,t ill they meet as beforedeseribed.wheu
the perpindieular hole acts as a Hue, and the
I horizontal one furnishes tho draught. It
often happens that in the burning a largo tree
into lengths, for saw-logs, there is not more
timber wasted than would result from chop,
ping off the log with an ax.
flow to Make Money,—The Picayune thus
instructs its readers, and people generally:
'■let tho buisuess of every body else alone,
and attend to your own. Don’t buy what you
want. Use every hour to advantage, and study
to make even leisure hours useful. Think
twice before you throw away a dollar; remem
ber you will have another to make for it.
Find recreation in looking aft cry our business j
and so your business will qpt bo neglected in
looking after recreation. Buy low, sell fair,
| and take care of the profits. Look over your
j books regularly, and if you can find an error of
| a cent, trace it out. Should a stroke of mis
| fortune come upon you in trade,retrench, work
j harder, but never "fly the track,” Confront
1 difficulties with unflinching perseverance, and
they disappear at last. Though you should
even fail in the strugle, you’ll not be despised.
By following these rules, however, you -need
| not say fail.” Pay debts promptly, and so
i exact your dues. Keep your word. Take
the papers. Adveutise.”

DAX. RIFE BEFORE THE RECON
STRUCTION t’O.lWlITTEE.
Washington Correspondence Cincinnati Com
mercial.]
The Committee on Reconstruction stil! per
sists in .suppressing.the most important testi
s',winy- eiifcited before it. Han Rice has re
cently been on a circus tour through the
lately rebellions States and has had opportu
nities such as are offered to few, for observing
the condition of the Southern people as to
loyally. Hi* testimony will be found ip show
thVlrue feeling that exists in the South when
the' thin <*rust of pretended loyally is molted
away, and true character is revealed us under
the exhilarating influence of a managerie,
when man stands in the presence of the un
tamed forces of nature, separated therefrom
only oy the thin partition of an iron cage.
Mr. Rice, being duly sworn, testified thus:
Q. You have an unruly animal, known as
a pet mule, with your circus, hare you not ?
A. 1 have.
(4. What are the idiesyneraoies of that
benbt ?
A. He is much given to kicking.
Q. it. is almost impossible to ride him is it
not ?
A. It is. I generally offer $25 to any man
who will ride him round the ring.
Q. On your Into visit to the South, did you
receive any offers to ride that mule '!
A. I did.
0. State wliat occurred on these occasions.
A. In Richmond, a discharged Confeder
ate soldier attempted to ride him, hut was
immediately thrown flat on his back.
Q. What did the Confederate soldier say
to tins?
A. lie said the mule was a d—d 'Yankee
cuss.
Q. I>id any others make the attempt ?
A. Another of Lee s veterans tried to ride
him, and succeeded.
Q. What did he say ?
A. He said, after he had dismounted, that
if he’d had a regiment 0’ them ere cavalry
he’d have whipped Kilpatrick all to smash;
and that in the war against the Yankees he in
tended to ride a brigade of’em.
Cross examined by Mr. Stevens:
Q. Is that a he mule, or a she mule?
A. It’s a he mule.
Q. You have monkeys in your show, have
you not?
A. 1 have.
Q. Have you ever heard any disloyal re
marks in relation to those monkeys ?
A. I can’t say that I have.
Q. Have you ever heard anything said in
their presence?
A. A couple of yoi ng ladies were one day
standing in front, of the cage, and I heard oiie
of them say it looked like a Freedmen’s liu
rcau.
Q IIow was this remark received ?
A. It created much laughter.
Q. Were there any personal allusions made
on that occasion?
A. Some one in the crowd said, pointing
to the orang outang. “That’s Sumnor.”
Q. Hid that please the bystanders?
A. Very much.
Q. Did you over hear any observations
about the bears?
A. I heard it said once about a one-eyed
bear, that he looked like Ben. Butler, and
about a grizzly bear that it ought to be called
Ben. IVade.
Q. Were the points of resemblance stated ?
A. They wore not. The observation was
made on thcfcmf ensemble, with special refer
ence, perhaps, to the ocular deformity in the
case of the one-eyed animal.
Q Have youside shows witlwyour circus?
A. I have.
Q. State ifyou have ever hoard disloyal re
marks in relation to them ?
A. 1 believe 1 heard something of the kind
oucc about Daniel in the lion’s den.
Q. State what it was?
A. A young lady asked me which was .Dan
iel and which was the lion.
(j. What was your reply ?
A, I told her it was easy to distinguish
Daniel from the lion, as the former wore a
swallow-tail coat, and had a cotton umbrella
under his am.
Q. What did she say ?
A. After looking into the cage she said,
very spitefully, that Daniel looked like a mean
Yankee, and she wished the lion would chaw
him up.

A new invention for the mailing of
letters, whioh adds greatly to the facilities
for their transmission, has been made, and
consist's of a box, instead of a leathern pouch
as a receptacle for letters, during iheir transit
from one part of the country to another. The
box is made of wood, strongly boundwith iron,
and secured by the usual post-office padlock.
Within, ou the side of the box, are iron-tooth
guides, with a follower designed to press the
letters into a compact form. The letters are
placed in a box upon their edges, with iron
labels separating the parcels- for different
oliiccs, tlie follower pushod up, the lid closed
and locked, the mail is ready to depart, with
this arrangement, no wrappers' are used for
the parcels designed for different offices. The
same advantage is obtained in the saving of
time iu the distribution of a mail upon its ar
rival That used to require au hour for its
distribution, is now in the post-office boxes
within fifteen minutes after its arrival.

reports a new application of the law of capilla

arity water will penetrate a porous body to a
certain height. If, when arrived at that
point, it finds a syphon curve, it will follow
I that curve, and run oil'; aud thus a regular
