Face to face I There’s nothing like it In this world of joy and woe I Never shrinking, never halting, Whatso’er may come or go. Should a monster seem to threaten Life and limb, or peace of mind, Face him with the eye of courage, And a lamb-like foe you’ll find. Thus it is, when, like a panther, Creeping slander comes apace; Half his tales will melt and vanish. W hen we meet him face to face I Face to face with cares and trials; Face to face with wintry blasts That may sorely wound and pain us While the angry tempest lasts. Face to face with truth and justice; Never turning from the right While we have a hand to work with, And an eye to find the light. Face to face with friends that love us May we ever prove most true. Face to face with joys above us When life’s journey shall be through. THE MAJOR'S CHOICE. The fair feminine society of Fortville was much exercised in mind when Major Trixton bought the great brown house across the park. Tear in and year out that house had stood vacant. Summer suns had woven their threads of light through the closed blinds; winter snows had plied their white drifts against the threshold. Some said the house was damp, ethers that it was haunted, yet others shrewdly surmised that it was in litigat.on, and couldn’t show a clean title. But nobody knew anything for cer tain, and when Major Trixton bought it, and an army of decorators, masons, painters and upholsters took possession of it, the interest and curiosity of Port- villa was at the culminating point. That the major was a bachelor was very certain. That he was forty years old, if not older, appeared an incontro vertible fact. Tliat he was immensely rich, rather eccentric, and decidedly in want of a wife, everybody in town knew beiore the title deeds of the big house had been twenty-four hours in the possession of the new owner. “Yes,” the major had averred, seri ous y, when facetiously challenged on the subject by Mr. Miles Rideau, one of his most intimate friends. “1 do want a wife. You may chaif about it as much as you please but it don’t alter the lact. But I want a wife, not bundle of giggle, and frizzes and Paris millinery.’' “I’ll introduce you to our first yotfng ladies,” said Mr. Rideau, cheer- tudy, “and then you can pick and choose for yourself.” reguiaf oTST 'bachelor,” said Ri deau to himself. “He’d never marry. He wants perfection, and there s no girl living that can come up to his standard. Ihe ladies, as a matter - — were much interested in brown, elderly major. Silver whose grandfather had been f. commodore, and whose genealogical tree had more branches than a star-hsh, ptetad out the last gray Unir from l»r tresses and plumed herself for conquest. “He’d want a lady of undisputable birth and position,” she thought. Alice Wood, the pretty dressmakers assistant, pinned an extra blush rose m the front of her bonnet as she tnpited to and fro to her work past the windows of the brown house. _ . . _ “The old story of King Cophetua and the beggar maid is often repeating itsfllf.” she thought. “And 1 m not ot course the bluff. Miss Serena must make it cheap; looked up, wist- “I am If you now. And you do you hear?” Agatha Fontaine fully. “But, Erminia,” said she, very much hurried just know, could wait a week—” “Very well,” said Miss Bruce, with toss of her imperial head, “then I’ll take my materials elsewhere. It’s alwavs the way with you suffering poor! If one takes you work you won’t do it, and then you come and tell us all sorts of stories about your privations. ]Iut mark my words, Agatha, if you refuse to oblige me now I’ll never employ you again. Miss Fontaine sighed softly. Five years ago she and Erminia Bruce had i hared the same room in Madame de ' Troulignac’s fashionable boarding school! and were inseparable friends. : Jut poor Harmon Fontaine had failed :n business and recklessly drawn a razor across his throat, and here was Agatha toiling for her daily bread, no less than to supjwrt a delicate mother and a Utile brother who was ailing with spinal complaint. And Erminia hau istened with a patronizing air to Aagatha’s humble request for work. “I wiU see what I can do for you, she lad said sUpping the rich rings careless- v up and down her fingers. “But amateur needlework is never quite.up to the mark. However, if you will consider that in your charges—” “I will endeavor to work well and cheaply,” said Agatha, meekly. And after she was gone Erminia laughed exultantly. “It’s a regular stroke of good luck for us mamma,” said she. “Broken- down gentry always work well and at quarter prices!” And so when she turned coldly away upon this occasion Agatha made haste to detain her. “Leave the work, Erminia,” said she. “It is true that I am very much hurried just at present, but you have been very kind to me. and I would not wittingly disoblige you.” It must be hand-made,” said Miss Bruce, unrolling her parcel, and very neatly, mind, and I will pay you fifty cents.” “Fifty cents!” echoed poor Agatha. Our usual charge is— “i don’t care anything about your usual charge!” said Erminia, impatient ly. “If you can’t do it for fifty cents you needn’t do it at all.” And she rustled out of the room, leaving a strong odor of “Bouquet de Caroline” behind her. “Isn’t it strange?” said Agatha to herself, in a sort of sotto voice. “Isn’t what strange!” said a pleasant voice from the adjoining room. whuu-A fJiUo a Sfc/E-ueu. “This is the third shirt I have had brought me to-day to moke,” sdd Agatha, “and all in a hurry. I shall have to sit up till midnight every night and finish them.” _ . . “Indeed!” said Major Trixton. “One is from Miss Ida Hedge, and one from her sister Bertha,” said Aga tha; “and now Miss Bruce—” “Miss Brace, eh?” said the maior. “Can’t she make her own shirts with out bringing them here?” , “I don’t know,” sighed Agatha. “She is the haughty young woman suppose who was domineering over you ^‘Yes,” acknowledged Agatha. “Not that she means to be unkind ,but— _ “No, no—of course not,” said Major Trixton, dryly. “Only she treats you as if you belonged to an inferior race of U As U he’spoke he stooped over the bed and lifted the pillows so as to alter the we picked our fingers, and lost our tempers, and—” “And so you sent them to Miss Fon taine, eh?” laughingly questioned the 1 major. “How did you know?” said Ida, with wide open eyes.

She scarcely saw the major until he paused in front of her; then her cheek kindled into sudden fire.

Han cock lor an hour. Gen. Hancock is confined to his house. After the visit Gen. Sherman went to the meeting of the Military Service Institution and heard read a paper on the duties, hard ships and necessities of the calvary at the frontier posts. The paper was writteu by CoL Brackett, Third Calvary. “Gen. Sherman was tnuoduced by General Crittenden and is he got qp he was applauded. “ *i did not come here to speak,’ he began. Tt is the first jintp 1 have ever l>een present at one of x&ur meetings, but, through correspondei&e with Gen eral Hancock, i have encouraged you in your purpose, which ,i believe is to develop innnary art and military science. The paper just read is almost like A B C to me. i believe the cavalry aim of the service has fur hiteeu years past helped ou our national civilization The delicate form of the dead burg lar who was shot by Mr. Homer M. Choate, the cashier of the Seaboard Bank, as he was escaping from Mr. Choate’s house in Newark, was estab lished by the name of the clothing firm of “Devlin & Co.,” which was stamped inside the collar of the coat worn on the night of the burglary. Chief of Police Meldnum, of Newark, sent Detective Smith to the establishment named, and one of the cutters dis covered the name “George Stone” written on the inside of the loop in the back. By referring to the order-book in the custom department it was found that a suit of clothes had been made for a man by that name, who had left directions to have them detivered at No 25 Market street. When inquiry was made at No. 25 Market street the housekeeper, Mrs. Wallace, gave a reporter a history of the man so far as she knew. “Mr. Stone first came to my house in the early part of last May,” she said. “He, was anxious to secure a quiet Fontaine,” he iw; “but as for sew- m a lor wSTm eiS^ imr—” I receive Uie respect of ils comrades and pay weU for a P»rt m ents that suited ing “Your housekeeper may find some thing for me to do,” said she, wist fully. He turned. “Let me walk along by your side,” said he. “Let me tell you. Miss Fon taine, how closely I have studied your character since first Rideau took me to your sick brother’s bedside. Let me con fess to you how dearly I have learned to love you—how truly to respect your noble nature. I am a rough, brusque old fellow, I know, but I believe I could make you happy if you would but allow me to hope for your love ?” “But me 1” cried she, breathlessly— ‘me, who am but a pjor sewing girl 1” “I love you,” he said, simply. “I could do no more than that if you were a crowned queen.” So he married her, and the once pov erty-stricken family live in the brown house now opposite the park, where hot house flowers scent the rooms, and birds sing to amuse the crippled boy, while every luxury smooths his early-sadden ed path. And Miss Erminia Bruce never knew that her deceit about the special unit of the twelve shirts, which had fallen to her lot, was the straw which turned the current of Major Trixon’s fancy. He iked and admired her before; he could never do so again. And Agatha Fon taine was so good, and innocent and true! And above all things, a wife’s nature must be true! At least so reasoned our major, and he was no mean judge ot human nature. _ Philip Guyer of Patterson, New Jer of the people of tins country and Uie whole civilized world, It nas done mure actual service in proportion to us size than any oiner part u£ the army since the civil war Closed, twenty-two years ago, and that is the lifetime of a man. xt has dune great work with Inmans and cowboys and all other irreg ularities in tne tar West.

After showing him the vacant rooms, he conciuued to engage the front apart ment on the top door, and paid me $2 in advance for the hrst week’s rental.

There is a prevalent impression, writes Professor Young, that the im munity from collision between the leavenly bodies depends mainly on their being held in orderly orbits by central action; and it is true that their orbital restraint makes it quite impossible for the planets to collide with each other, or even to approach each other, very closely. But a very impressive picture is sometimes drawn of what would hap pen if the earth, for instance, should ever free herself from the bonds of gra vitation—how she would fly off into space (which is true, of course,) and soon dash herself to pieces against some other wandering world (winch is not true at all, or at least not probable) Most likely, if gravitation were sudden ly to cease, the earth won!3 travel for millions, net of yhars but of ages, with out ever encountering anything more important than meteors, such as are now continually fulling upon her surface. And those meteoric encounters even would probably be far less frequent than at present, since there is reason to suppose that such bodies are much more numerous in the neighborhood of the sun and pf other gteat stars than in the rest of space. Evidently, however, the attractions between a wandering star and others lying near its pain must con siderably increase the chances of colli sion, though not to so great au extent as perhaps might be supposed. A body entering our system at a distance from the sun one hundred times as great as the radius of the earth’s orbit, aud mov ing with no more than tne velocity natural to a c«met at that distance (about two aud two-thirds mdes per second), would not strike the sun unless its path were directed within less than half a degree (23.4) of the sun’s centre; aud if its velocity were greater, the aim would have to be still more accurate to score a bit. If bodies were snot into space at random from the position aud with the veloeity indicated, only about one in eighty-six thousand would hit the sun. Were it not for the sun’s attraction, however, the proportion would be twen ty thousand times smaller still—only one in seventeen hundred millions, it is obvious, therefore, that encounters between heavenly bodies of considerable magnitude must be extremely rare. There is not in all the astronomical record a single certain instance of such an occurence. Aud yet it may confi dently be asserted tliat some time or other in the past such events must have happeued, aud some time in tne future will happen again, simply for the rea son that, in a sufficient length of time, VERDICT -OP- THE PEOP1 BUY THF n MEAL 0 ' A NOTIONS, ME J.o.
