In one of Mr. James R. Randall's graphic Washington letters he details an interview with Senator Hill, in the course of which, referring to his present condition, the Senator spoke as follows: .'If I recover, it is well. If I die, it is also well. While I think it strange that a man whose constitution was formed by physical labor on a farm, and who, up to a year ago, never had a day of ill health, should be afflicted with an inexplicable disorder of the blood,_I resign myself into the hands of my Creator, who- will do with me what seems best to Him, and either raise me up for further usefulness or summon me away. I await with pa tience either event.' I. Oft hast thou triumphed in the keen debate! Lightened and thundered thro' the Senate H'll; Now o'er thee clouds of muffling silence fall, And by the flickering Future's veiled gate A sombre SHAnow seems to watc h and wait! Still, round thy House of Life, from wall to . wall, Dost thou not hear the golden trumpet call To those high lists which gird the strifes of State? The old insti.nct stirs!....the ancient warrior heat Flushes thy blood.. .and ne'er (thou know est it.... .yet Have thy strong pulses felt a loftier beat, Nor nerve and brain to lordlier praise been set Come, lift thy weapon! .... Heaven.... ! what spell is here? Our Launcelot's hand but meets a... phan tom spearl II. His firm hand drops!.,..Across his face a line Of furrowing anguish flashes to dark flame! Dear to his soul is Action....dear is Fame! 'What! must I rest,' he murmured; 'lost, supine, 'While others drink of Glory's radiant wine?' 'Yeaf....if God will'....In softened accents came: 'To Him I yield life, honor, purpose, name 'Sneel to His wisdom, worship at His shrine!' Ah! chastened heart....these words of sim. pie trust, Are nobler than thy lordliest speech be fore! They mount on wing of Pentecostal fire And when 'yon Senate Halls are blackened dust, May crown the .fullness of thy soul's de sire Wihpeace unknown by mortal sea or shore! PAUL HAMILTON HAYN4E. ONL A HKETR. 'Tbree yellow crooknecks and a peck of pearmains,' said Miss .Bella B3alsamapple, smoothing down a stray wrinkle in her jauntily-ruffled pink plaid apron, as she banded up her wicker basket to the broad-shouldered, brown young farmer who brougbt into Cra.bsboro each morning the village supplies of fresh fruit and vegetables. 'Yes, miss-all right,' was the brisk reply, as he executed the or der with much alacrity; <and better crooknecks you never cooked, I'll bet a cabbage. I knew~ you'd be wanting crook necks of a Saturday, and I picked out the three sweet est I could find and saved 'em particularly for you. And the pearmains-I could have sold eve ry last one away back here ; but thinking you might want some, I wouldn't, let 'em go for love nor money.' Miss Balsamapple grew very royand smiled a sparkling little smile away back in the shadow of andu'he roednder tscrime fito grm y et,si, sided Mis Suond hdinge thsem upw her disofvinmmted a bnhihye robbd ie andh verpleast.y an-he ey-sne stle amid the crookem n pergomsure ou ereodng wahemdu teorge rid of 'em ; there's such an ever lasting lot at home. Do keep'em, please' llt, gave the lines a twitch and rattled off without waiting fur her i to refuse. So Miss Bella, finding herself left in the lurch with the flowers on her hands carried them into the house to the disgust of Miss Aurora Balsarnapple-a tall, skim milky blonie, in a blue calico wrapper, w. o hrd witnessed the proceeding from the window, and was much scandalized thereby. 'I'm shocked at you, Bella,' she remarked, in a tone of personal injury, -for keeping them a min ute!' 'I couldn't help it,' answered Bella, 'unless I had shied the) at his back ; and then they would only have fallen in the mud.' 'No killing matter if they did,' said Miss Aurora; 'and you better take my advice and fling them out there now.' 'I won't !' said Bella, flatiy ; and Miss Aurora, being well acquaint ed with her sister's characteristics, shrugged her shoulders and said no more, but revenged herself by being so exasperati-gly sulky that Bella, after a few ineffectual efforts to establish harmony, found it necessary for the sake of her nerves to make an errand to a neighbor's. Miss Aurora, taking deeper and more deadly vengeance for this by declining to cook any dinner in Bella's absence, was lunching on pickles and cold herrings in the kitchen, when her sister popped in, in much excitement, with her bonnet-cape floating wildly in air like a pink banner. 'What do you reckon, sis?' cried the young lady, gleefully. 'He was there! and Mrs. White introduced us. He's a friend of the family, and his name's Robin Russet ; and Mrs. White says a better or steadier or good-term pereder young man never lived. 11e's got a farm ati a lovely or chard, and is really intelligent, and Mr.. White thinks lots of him, and says-' 'If you'll just have the good ness,' interrupted Miss Aurora, impressively emphasizing h e r words with a heriing, 'to explain what under the sun you're talk ing about, .1 will be extremely en lightened and much obliged.' 'Why, he-him,' said Bella, 'that sells the crooknecks and things, and gave me the flowers.' 'The huckster!' shrieked Miss Aurora, dropping a pickled onion to clasp her bands tragically. 'He ain't a huckster! And I don't care if he is,' asserted Bella, with astonishing 'logic, 'he's nice.' 'Oh, Bella-Bella !' mourned Aurora, 'that the pride of the Bal samapples should have fallen so low as this !' 'Bother the piride of the Bal samapples !' cried Bella, stamping her foot. 'Who are the Balsam apples that they shonld tower above everybody that's as good and as smart as they are ? Seli ing crook necks ain't a sin ! Trhe Balsamapples haven't go.. any sense, and 1 won't be a Baisam apple a minute longer than I can help. Now!' 'And, oh, what will Cousin Amasa think when he comes to Crabsboro,' continued Anoora, de spairingly, 'and one of his rela tions losing her head about a man that peddles crooknecks ? These rich old fellows are always so ultra fastidious ! It'll spoil all my chances.' Aurora flung her herring into a corner and burst into tears. 'Dear sakes ! Don't cry, honey !' said Belia, who was soft-hearted, with all her faults. 'It won't matter a pmn. Cousin Amasa is too distant a relation to build hopes on, if we wanted to. He's got lots of kinsfolks nearer than we are-nephews and nieces, and things we never even heard of. Not likely he'd leave us anything, anyway.' -Bella Balsamapple, are you a dnce ?' asked Aurora, sharply. 'Who expects a forty-second cousin to leave them anything on that jaccount ? Cousin A masa hasn't any wife. Now do you under stand?' 'Oh, ', nd , with a litt le jump, 'that's the game, is it? But how do you know you'll like him, Ro? You never saN him.' 'I'm migbty certain to like his bank account,' answered Aurora; 'and that's the point just now. And I could help you to a good settlement, too, if ycu wouldn't encourage this-' 'I will!' cried Bella, before her sister could pronounce the objec tionable 'huckster.' 'I don't want any settlement. I've liked him ever since we first bought things I of him, and I know he likes me. And. now that we've been intro- t duced he's coming to see me ; and he's a gentleman, and I wouldn't treat him mean for -ill the Cousin Amasas that could be raked up, if they were so rich they couldn't! walk straight.' In evidence of the platform she had chosen Bella appeared the fullowing week at the Crabsboro church festival in the company of Mr. Robin Russet. 'Entire,ly against my wishes,' confided Miss Aurora Balsamap ple, to her friend, Miss Cyrilla Dumps. 'I very much disapprove of Mr. Robin Russet, and I must say I think he's a presuming, bad. mannered creature !' 'What, ma'am-what ?' exclaim d a fiery-looking old gentleman, with red whiskers and snapping little black eyes, who, being im. mediately behind the two la.dies, had overheard the remark. 'You're very free with you're tongue, ma'am-outrageously so. Do you know Mr. Robin Russet is my nephew, ma'am ?' Miss .Balsamapple scrutinized the peppery interrogator with critical calmness. 'Sir,' she replied, 'I did not know whether the gentleman in question was your nephew or not; and, permit me to add, I didn't in the least care. Still further, allow me to remark that you have r.o manners whatever- l that you are a ridiculous old goose, and your nephew probably resembles you !' 'Ma'am-what ?' began the old gentleman almost strangling in his fury. But Aurora swept away in calm disdain, and left him flound ering in a storm of wrath. 'My dear,' said Mrs. White, sailing down on her as she passed that lady's stand, 'isn't Bella the slyest little piece ever born? Here she is snugly engaged toi Rob Russet, and the rest of the girls are going wild because they've just discovered that he's got a terrifically rich old uncle, who arrived the other day from some mysterious place. I met im once. I'll introduce you if I can find him-oh, here he is ! Mr. A masa I[iggingbothamn-Miss Bal samapple.' Aurora took a glance at him and truned pale. Cousin Amasa and the peppery old gentleman were all one. He appeared to have recovered his temper and was chuckling quite jovially. 'I-I'm sure, Cousin Amasa,' began Aurora, with sweet, wo manly meekness, 'you won't mind what I said to you ? You know-' 'Not at all-not at ail!' inter rpted the old gentleman, with a chuckle.' 'It's all right, cousin.' 'And you know.I wouldn't have sai a word against Mr. Russet if 1 Lad known he was your ne phew. I only-' 'Of course not-of course net!l' chuckled Cousin Amasa. 'How could you know a man that work ed for a living wasn't a villain ? Quite pardonable, I assure you. But Bob Russet's got to earn his living while he's young. Don't hurt these young fellows to work the making of 'em ! But don't feel at all uneasy about Bella's future, Cousmn Aurora, I shall leave all my property-every nickel-t.o Rob, at last. For, of course, I ain't such an old fool as ever to get married myself'.' The old gentleman chuckled more than ever as he walked off. And Anrora felt that she would have sacrificed her new silk um. bre!la cheerfully if she could have smashed it on Cousin Amasa's head. Nothing circulates so rapidly as a secret FOR THE HERALD. SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY. In a recent lecture, Prof. Ed vard Franikland statedI that sia nillions of' tons of coal are prob ,bly burned in London during th vintor months, and the quantitiee of steam, soot, tar and sulphuroue cid discharged into the air ae roducts of this combustion are nornous. These products unite o form the London fogs. Stean upplies the basis of all fog nd the vapor particles becom< overed with tar, which rendert hem more permanent ; dirt it eecessary to produce' fog, while ulphurous acid promotes it. Dr ?rankland illustrated these pointi cy experiment. To prove the fect of dirt in the air he filled large flask with moist air free< rom dirt by filtering, then cooled he flask, when a slight mist w ai ormed which disappeared in noment; repea'ing the experi neut with air containing its nor aal charge of dirt., the fog was nuch more dense and lasting ['arr'y matters render fogs per istent by retarding evaporation le believes that the genera ubstit.ution of anthracite fo: )ituniinous coal would do maci ,oward freeing the metropolia rom its fogs, as the dischargc )f tar and soot into the atmos )here would thus be vastly les ened. A very general idea is that e ,endency to certain diseases is in heated by certain types of faces s is shown by the frequent use o ueh phrases as 'consumptive ooking.' The subject has beez nvestigated by Drs. Galton an< ahomed, whose conclusions thu ar fail to support the belief tha ertai,n physiual characteristic: rove a special liability to con umption or other disease, al ,bough it may perhaps be showc ,bat the effects of the diseas vhen commenced may be influ meed by such. Prof. Boyd Dawkins, in depict ng the appearance of the wore efo man, recently describee America in the eocene and mic sene periods as beingr connecte< w'ith Europe by a heavily woodel barrier of land stretching past th Paroe Islands ; while th~e alligator ind fishes of Europe were indu 1.inguishable from those of thi :ontinent.

Seasons of low water in th lakes of Switzerland offer favor: ble opportunities for adding to ou knowledge of the anciezct lake dwellers. The water of Lake Cot stance has lately been lower tha at any other time since 1805, an advantage has been taken of it t examine a number of lacustrin dwellings, with the result of nuix erous discoveries of implements. An interesting experimenti said to have been made with hibernating hedgehog, in whic the brain of the, .sleeping anim:~ was removed, then the entir spinal cord, but for two bour hardly any change was noticeabi in the action of the heart ; and day afterward that organ cor tracted when touched by the oj rator.

Da light would accordingly by nigl appear still bluer than the electr light. This false idea would di appear if electric illumination b came general. It has been affirmed that it possible to transmit electric ene gy for working motors to a sho distance only. M. Deprez no shows, however, that a consider ble percentage of the origin; power may be made available at distance as great as fifty miles.

I will give you two or thr, good rules which may help y< to become happier than you wou be without knowing them ; b as to being completely happ that you can never be till you g to heaven The first is, 'try your best make others happy.' 'I never w happy,' said a certain king, 'till began to take pleasure in the we fare of my people ; but ever sin, then, in the darkest day, I ha had sunshine in my heart.' My second rule is, 'Be conte with little.' There ar mat good reasons for this rule. V deserve but little, we require b little, and 'better is little, wi the fear of God, than great trea ures and troubles therewith.' Ts men were determined to be ric but they set about it in differe ways ; for the one strove to rai up his means to his desire while the other did his best brinig down his desires to 1 means. The result was, the o who coveted much was alwa 'repining, while he who desir s but little was always contented. My third rule is, 'look on t e sunny side of things.' Look up with hopeful eyes, r Though all things seem forlorn; The sun that sets to-night will rise Again to-morrow morn. The skipping lamb, the sin ing lark and leaping fish tell that happiness is not confined one place. God in his goodn has spread it abroad on the earl in the air, and in the waters. Ti aged w omen lived in the sat scottage ; one was always feari: a storm and the other was alwa 1looking for sunshine. .Hard need I say which it was wore e fordidden frown, or which it w~ Swhose face was lighted up wi The best receipt for goi through life in an exquisite we with beautiful manners, is to f< .that everybody, no matter hc f rich or how poor, needs all t s kindness they can get from oth< n in this world. bI The wise one says that notbi is so hard to bear as prosperit s. but most men would like to engs a in some hard work of that d e scription, just to have a practi4 illustrationi>f t.he adage. A man explodes wit.h indigt etion when a woman ceases love him, yet he soon finds coni lution ; a woman is less demc sstrative whou deserted, and a mains longer inconsolable. He who has been spoiled t success may readily be sweeten< b but he who has been spoiled I. non-success has lost wholesom ness forever. t., GITEAL'S SCAFFOLD. r An Instrument of Death Which Will be U in the Case of Guiteau. A Washington letter to tb Philadelphia Times says: Tb V scaffold upon which Bedford an it J Queenan were executed will t used for strangling Guiteau. is standing in the north win of the jail, and has been painted drab shade. It is of Georgia pini is and stands twenty-one feet i r- height. The cross-beam is of si et by eight timber (strengthened b a heavy top piece for doubl works), supported by timbet t eight inches square. The pla a form is thirteen feet from tb 1 ground, and is made of two-inc boards, on stout joists, mortice z and bolted, and is eleven fe< n square. It is supported by si eight-inch uprights in addition t s- those supporting the cross-bean It About three and half feet aboc 1e the platform there is a surronri e ing rail. The trup is five fe< a- square, framed in the center 36 the platform, and is fush with i 1 It is attached to the platform b two heavy strap hinges, and n, held in place by the ends of ti w U-shaped iron. At the bottom r- the iron is attached a small br in strong rope passing over the pu ic ley at the back of the structut into a box about four inch< square, through which the rol runs into one of the coils, whei some person, unknown to on 30 siders at the signal from the wa >u den (usually a motion with Id handkerchief), gives the fat: it pull. The platform is reached b y, flight of steps with a railing c et either side. To complete ti structure and make it ready ft to use, it is necessary that the rol as should be attached and the bingi I oiled. T'or a single hanging it 1- custo.- .,-- to use a rope of manil 3e seven-eighths of an inch in diat 7e eter and thirty feet long. It not the custom here, as in som ft cities, to use a rope specially ma< y for the purpose and have it pr e pared outside the building, for ti at officers of the jail here are alwa: th equal to the occasion. In fac - with the exception of the man o facture of the rope and the iro b, the structure has been made at the building. There are on har se now several ropes purchased fi s; hanging purposes, and recenti to several have been received at ti is jail contributed by persons an ne ions to have them tried< 78 Guiteau. When it is niecessa ed to rig the scaffold a rope will selected and the hangman's kn he will be made by one of the guarc !who is quite an expert at it. Tb< it will be run through the cent holc of the cross beam, thence the side, passing down one of t Suprights to a cleat on the sid "where it will be made fast. Ge to erally the slack is four to six fe and commencing near the kn hthe rope is for three or four f anointed with soap, that it mi ne slip easily. In some parts oft country tallow or other grease used, but General Crocker and I associates prefer the soap. The a ismalso on hand a full supply salrope to use in pinlioning t: th arms and legs of the victim of t law, and black caps to draw ov his face. It is crzstomary to r the rope the day before the exec uon, and test it by letting drop ebag of sand weighing from thir to fifty per cent, more than t. he doomed man. Never having m ra with an accident or mishap hanging, the jail officials look< this test as useless; but it is og ways made as a precaution. y;make sure, however, of carryil ge out the sentence within t e- hours specified therein (usual al two hours being allowed), t prisoner is brought in on time allow fifteen or twenty minut a- for services prior to the trapt to ing sprung, and with thirty m o- utes or mere to spare besic n- Thus should there be a misbap e any kind, there would still ample time to prepare andr another rope if necessary. by -s d, Our good deeds rarely cau by much gossip among our fello1 e- citizens, but our evil ones leap it medtiately into notoriet. A GRAVE MATTER.-He came into the office and flew around i the counting room and back to the editor with the startling in e quiry: 'Did you hear the news?' 'No,' said the editor, all afire: 'What is it? Where? When? How did it happen ? Fire ? Mur der? What is it, man?' g 'Why didn'c you hear about it? a It's all the talk. There's over a n thousand dead people scattered around near the plank road, and I X left the place not an hour ago.' S 'Good beavens 1' yelled the edi e tor 'How did it happen? Let's go out at once!' and he tore up and down the den, got his coat e and hat, kicked over three chairs, h scattered the newspapers .every where, spattered the paste up against the wall and made Rome bowl generally. o 'Hold on ;' said the man with . the news; ,don't get so excited. e Go slow.' Go slow ! How can I?' I 'Yes. but-' 'But what-but what ?'-gasped . the editor. y 'Well-ah-well-you see,' and he edged toward the door, 'these e dead bodies are all buried in the cemetery, and you know' But the editor didn't know anything, and when he recovered e from his 'sudden revulsion of feeling the man with the item was e gone. The editor has bought a e Gatling gun and put it on file for t- future reference. r- (Steubenville Herald. a SMITH WAS OUT.-A Detroit lawyer was sitting in his office when a stranger appeared at the e door and said: >r 'Beg pardon, but can you tell e me where Smith's office is ?' s 'Yes, sir-next door.' la The stranger uttered his thanks and passed to the next door, is which was locked.

Sad Result of an Encounter betweena Eule and aFaahouable Young Lady. Peek's Sun. While passing through this vale of tears one will occasionally see a cun ning girl-one who seems by every action, every twitch of the apparel, to } say that she knows it all, and that it=. would be an impudencei for any one to tell her that in 10 years she will look back and see- what a con - founded fool she was in this yeat of our Lord, 1882. There was one the other day tripping down Wisconsin street when it was so hot, looking a though there was nobody else hal any sense but her. She was beauti fully dressed, and carried a parasol of many colors, all of which were red. Everybody else was warm, and she must have been, though she didn't show it. A street car was crossing. the street, and she walked~right-up in front of the males as impudent as a Summer resort hotel waiter that has not been paid the price of a dinner for bringing it. She was going to,cross ahead of the males, and she looked.-p at the driver and the passengers as if to say: 'If you don't like the pups you can drown them.' The driver turned the brake, the car slacked up, and with a scornful smile she cleared the track. Just as she passed the head of the near mule that sagacious beast reached his head around and took hold of about a bushel of green polonaise that stnck up just below her belt, and he raised the female with the circus parasol right off her feet and then dropped her. She struck on her feet like a cat and took just two jumps to get to the sidewalk, and' ' scarter girl was never seen.' Her im pudence and about half a mule mouthful of polonaise were. go She was a changed girl from that moment, and as she closed her para sol and held it over the place where polonaise was wont to be and walked toward a millinery foundry in a beaming manner, with no,perceptible wiggle, we thought: 'What creatures -we are ! Even a mule can teach us a thing or two, if we put on scallops around in front of him.' . If we live 1,000 years we never expect to see that girl teeter, and waltzing along the sidewalk again as she did that day. Though she may not have been injured in - the fracas, so as to make her limp, she will feel that if she travels on her shape something will happen to her that will make her ap pear as ridiculous as she did when the mule went one way with a mouthful of polonaise, while she went the other, without a mouthful of polonaise to her back. Girl, behave yourself, and the meek-eyed mule will look upon you as an ornament to society instead of green fodder, and *will let- you pass clothed, and in your right mind, in stead of wanting to bite you on the ear, and chewing cotton batting all the way up the hill. If it is your purpose in life to make your face your fortune you must look well to do itor itwill turnout to b your misfortune. If you wish to appear in agreeable society, you . must consent to be - taught many things which you know already.A -One year of a noble and generous life is worth a century of cowardly years, and self-cares and over-soici tude. He that does good for good's sake seeks neither praise,nor re ward, though sure of both at last. Bashialness may sometimes ex clude pleasure, but seldom opens any avenue to sorrow or remorse. Curiosity is a thing that makes us look over other people's affairs and overlook our own. Men often judge the person, but not the cause, which is not justice, but malice. Who never walks save where he sees men's tracks, makes no discoveries. The road to home and happi ness lies over small stepping stones. A learned man is a t ank ;aWIse nran is a spring.
