'I. j dADREAM. "Wish me joy," he said, and turned, With the laughter in his eyes; "Mary, I have won a wife, And my choice you must approv-." All my cheek and forehead burned, With a feelinf, not surprise; And I felt that Death in Lile, Was the ending of my lovo. "Slim she is, and like a fawn, Wandering thro' the woodland ways; And her voice is soft and low As the murmur of a dove; And the promiso of the dawn Blushes quickly in her face; Mary, can you wonder s6, You, the sIster of ny love? So I tried to speak and smile, Taking both hs hands in mine; Saying he was worthy hor Words that seemed to burn antd choke. From my breaking heart the while Toro the hopes that clasp and twine Then with all my pulso astir. And my brain on fire-I woko! It. "Wish me well," he said, and gaze:i, All his soul into my eyes; "Mary, I would win a wite, Do you caro to listen who?" As for me I stoe'i amazed, In a sort of glad surprise; And tho secret of my life Blossomed into beauty now. "Tallatd stately doth she go Liko a queen through woodland ways; And her voice is sweet and clear As a matrd nightingale's. Tell me, Mary, do you know Hler, whom I would fitly praise; But when I have called her dear, ]PP no other word avails?" A&! the autumn woodland semed To awake in summer glow; As, with blush on chock and brow, I confessed him dear to me. When I told him what I dreamed, He made answer, laughing low: "Did they never toll you how Dreams always contrary go?" --U. I. 'stuart. n Argosy. A NEW QUESTION. When Deco sanday Begin? When does s sEnd r irrofenor Tyndaln in Ninoteonth Centnry.] Theologians were horrified when first Informed that our planet was a sphere. The question of antipodes exercised them for a long time, most of them pimring ridicule on the idea that men coul exist. with their feet turned toward us, and with their heads pointing downward. [ think it is Sir George Airy who refers to the case of an over-curious individu,l asking what we should see if we went to the edge of the world and looked over. That the earth was a flat surface on which the sky rested, was the belief entertined by the founders of all our great religious systems. Even liberal Protestant the o logians stigmatized the Copernican the ory as being '' built on fallible pheno mona and advanced by many arbitrary assumptions against evidel t testilmonies of 'cripture." Newton finally placed his intellectual crowbar beneath these ancient notions, and heaved them ints irretrievablo ruin. Then it was that penetrating mlinds, sooing the nature of the change wrought by the now astron omy in our conceptioi.'' of the universe, also discovered the dift ulty, if not t he impossibility, of t,cceptil, literaUy the Mosaic account of creation. They did not reject it., but they assigned to it a meaning entirely now. Dr. Samuel Clark, who was tho personal friend of Nowtt and a supporter of his theory, threw out the idea that "possibly the six days of creation might be a typical rep'esinta tion of greater periods." Clark's eon temporary, I)r. Thomas Burnet., wr oto with decision in the saute strain. Tho Sabbath being regarded as i shadow or typo of that heavenly repose which the righteous will enjoy whent this world has passed away, ''so t'heso six lays of cren tion are so many pieriods or mnillenniums for which the world and the toils and labors of our present state are destined to endure." Tihe Mosaic account was thus reduced to a poetic myth-a viow which afterward found expre'ssion in the vast revelries of Hugh Miller. lint if this symbolic interpretation, which is now generally accepted, be the tine one, what becomes of the Sabbath (lay?' 10 is ahsolutely withoutt ecclesiast ieal mtean ing and the man wvho was executedi for gathering sticks on that (lay must lhe regarded as the victim of a 'rude legal rendering of a religious epic. Thiere are many minor ofihoots of discussion f rom the great central controversy Bishtop Hlorsely has defined a (lay ''as consisting of one evening and one morning, or, as the Hebrew words lite'al ly iimpor't, o the decay of light and the return of it." But what then, it was asked, becomes oIf the Sabbath in the Arctic regionR, where light takes six months to "'decay'' and as long to "return ?" ])ifTerences of longi tutdo, moreover, render the observances of the Sabbath at the same hours im possible. To somne peoplo such questions might app~ear trifling; to others they wvero of the greatest import. Whether the Sabbath should stretch from sunsttet to sunset, or from midnight to midnight, was also a subject of much dliscuissioni. Voices, moreover, were heard refusing to acknowledge the propriety (of the change from Saturday to Sundayv, and1( the doc trine of Seventh Day observatneo was afterward represented by a Meet. 'The earth's aphericity and rotationt, whi'h had at first been re'ceived( with such af fright, came even tually to the aid of those afIlic'~1 with qualms and difliculties ro gardinig the respective c'laimts of Satin' day and Sunday. The sun appareintly moves from east to west. Suppose, then, we start on a voyage roundt( the worlhd in a~ westerly dir'ection. lin doinig to we sail away, as it were, from the sun, which follows and periodically overtakes us, reaching the meridian of our ship each sncceeding (lay somewhat late'r thain if we sigod still. For every fifteen dlegrees of longitude traversed by the vessel the sun will ho exactly an hour late; andl after the ship has traversed twenty-four times fifteen degrees, or 3ik0 degrees that is to say, the enttir'e.c'i'ce of the erth-the sun will be exactly a day be hind. Hero, then, is thet expe'diett suggested by Dr. Wallis, F. 11. S, Savihan. Profess,or of Gcontent ry ini the University of Oxfo,rd, to quiet the minds - f thoso ii doutbt regatrding Saturday observantce. Hie reccomtmend(s them to laake a voyage around the world, as Sir Francis Drake did, ''going out oIf the Atlantic Ocean westwardl by the Straits of Magellan to the East Indies, and1( then from thie east, returning b)y the Cape oIf Good Hope homeward, and let them keep their Saturday Sabbath all the way. When they come home to Enlglandl they ,il find their Saturday to fall upon our Sunday, and they may henceforth con. tmnue to ob)serve their Saturday Sabbath on the same day with us."

Mr. Wagon was the victim. His son Johnny is a mischievous lad, and one day resolved to play a trick on his broth er. He arranged certain attachments to that brother's bed, worked by cords run ning to his own room, and then went o1 islung. While he was gone, his brother was sent away to bo absent over night, and a lot of compauy arrived at the house. Mr. Wagon gave up his own room to them and occupied the absent son's bed. Johnny got home lato at night, and wholly ignorant of this change of arrangements, went to his roomi, which was next to his lother'ts, and prepared to perpetrate his designs upon his brother. 'Tie first proceeding was a haul on a cord which ran between the blankets and sproad on his brother's bed, and, being fastened at tho top, would pull the clothes off the bed. Mr. Wagon was ('omnfortably tucked in, when suddenly the clothes began to slip, and ho found himself uncovered. 1to thought he might have kicked them off, and sat up andti took hold of the clothes to pull them bik. Meanwhile, Johinny had 'anked another cord which pulled1 the pil ow oft the bed. Mr. Wagon discovered his loss and rcalied for the pillow, and when lie got it, the clothes went off again. Ito wa. mutch excited at that, arni again went aftei the clothes and again lost his pillow. That time the pillow went under the hed al Mr. Wagont went after it, and inlllediately cate out again and sworo proldigiously, for the floor was strowin with chestnit burrs, and he had gotton into them. Ho resolved to scold the chambermaid for leaving so many pins on the floor. Once more he attempt to get the pillow, and, ns it. was way iider, he made a frantie (live for it, and jnst then JTohlnny, who was shaking with laughter, pulled the last, cord and the whole bed eatno dlowl itpon Mr. Wagon and jammed him up1)on the burrs. His frantic howls broight his wife and friends to the re(see, anit( lie was fished out. And thei the gas was lighted and isomebody discovered the cords rining to Johnny's room. Mi'.

WCliori A adchrc, wi el n wnaI te Was Joan of Are Barned at the Stake, The Mayor of Compiegne is quite a genius in his way. He know that the prevailing notion was to secularizo every thing, and consequently he invented a rojublican manifestation in honor of Toan of Arc, the Maid of Orleans, who lefended Oompiegrte against the English aId Burgundians In 1430, and was be trayed into the hands of John of Luxem bourg, who surrended her to the English mon who burned her at tho stake in the markot-place at Rouen. The ruins of the Maidon s Tower show whore the Picardy archer pulled the unfortunate Joan from her war-horse, and when those who are fond of going back to the history of other days think of the legend and then of that horrible statue of the Maid of Orleans at the end of the Ruo des Pyranides in 'aris, they must deplore the fact that the man of Picardy left no descendant who would como forward and unhorse the figure that surmounts tle pedestal. M. Charles Monselet has thrown somo doubt on the legend of Jo,an of Are hav" ing been burned by the Englith. Ito quotes a pan raapllh from the M rcure of 1683 announiemg that certain documents recently discovered led to the conchlsion that Joan of Are had been nar"rie(i, and that, consequontly, some un11fortllnato victim must have been sacrifiee(l in her plaeo at Rouon. Tie documents 1on histed of an1t attestation mnade by Ftther Vigner, who said: '-Five years after the judgmentof Joan of Arc, on the 20th day of May, Joan, the Maid, visited Metz. On tihe samto1 day her brothers called tO seo her. 'T'hy thought she had ibeenu burned, but wh1en they saw her they re cognized her at ouce. ''hey took her with them to Bo(quelon. Wi'ereon a yoc muan named Nicollo gave her at horse, and two other persons contributed at sword and a plumed hat, and the said Maid sprung very cleverly on the said horse, sayig a multitudo of things to the yoe mant \icolle." '1'1 old priest wrote this history with his own hand, and made oath as to its sincerity before a public notary, adling as a proof of what ie had iadvanced a copy of the original contract of marrian;o between " Robert des Armoises aln1 ,ltan of Arc, otherwiso known as tho Maid of )rleants." Compiog no has treasu ro d 11p a faithful souvenir of tho heroine, anl about fifteen years ago a subscriptiohn was opened to enable the town to erovt a statuo to 1her memory.

The most minute particles of dirt are carefully removed, and the whole body frequently and thoroughly cleaned especially after eating and sleep. ing. They assist each other in the gen erd eioansing, and the attitude of the ant under operation is one of intense satisfaction, a perfect pictuire of muscular surrender and ease. An ant has been seen to kneel down before another, and thrust forward the head under the face of the other, and lie motionless, express ing the desire to he cleaned; the othler ant understood this and went to work. Sometimesthis isconbitied .vith ncrobatic feats, in which these ants excel, jlnmping about and clinging in a remarkable fasl-" ion to blades of grass. Soiaetilnes t'o I cleansing ant hangs downward from the grass, and to her the w t operated upn i clings, reaching over and ipl with ar( at agility to submit to her friend's otliecs;.

[Cincinnati Timea-Star. ] No two mon in America have had more experience with flue trotting stock, and none arc better judges than Calvin M. Priest, of the New York Club Stables, 28th street near Fifth avenue and .Dan Maco, of the Excelsior Stables, West 29th street, New York, the champion douible-tean driver of tho United States. Both of those gentlemen say, that for painful ailments in horses, such as cuts, Ibinses, swellings, lameness, stiffness, St. Jacobs Oil is superior to anything they have ever used or heard of. This is also the oltiioll of Prof. David Ro harge, the colobrated horse-shoor of the 1 metropolis, and thousands of stock owners throughout the country. As a lpain-cure for man and beast, St. Jacobs Oil has no eqtual. Mr. Priest recites the case of a valuablo trotter, so stiff from rhetumatism, that ho could not move an inch. By one, thorough application of St. Jacols Oil at nlight, the animal was conmpletely cured, and was fit for the race-track the next day.
