Beside the church door, aweary and lone,
A blind woman eat on the cold door rtone:
The wind iraa bitter, the enow fell fast,
And'a mocking voice in the fitiul blast
Beeined ever to echo her moaning cry,
As she begged for alms of the passers by;
'HfaVe pity on me, have pity I pray ;
My baok is b?nt and my head is gray."
*The bells were ringing the . hour of prayer,
-And many gdod people are gathering there:

Bomi were hoping thoir souls to save,

grave,
And, alsal they had no time to heed
The poor soul asking for charity's need.
And ?ome were blooming with beauty's
grace,
Bat elosely muffled in veils of lace ;
They saw not the sorrow, nor heard the
moaD,
Of her who sat on the cold door stone.
At last came one of a noble name.

Adorned with clusters of golden hair;

Johnson on Grant?The "Little Fellow"
Accurately Measured?An Estimate
that has more Truth than Poetry
about it.
. : l ? . 1
Ex-President Johnson evidently (
doosn't mince words in expressing his <
opinion of his successor in the White
Hopse. The correspondent of tho ,
New York Herald, with whom Mr. ,
Johnson had a conversation on Sun* ]
day, roports him as saying : i
You know very well, sir. for vou i

was president, what my estimate of

thing that has since.occurred that has
caused me to chango my mind the (

when I was President, and I am con- (
viuccd he is the greatest farce that
ayaa ever thrust upon a people. Why, (
the little/oUftw-?excuse me for using
the,expression, but I can't help pity- (
ing him;?the little feHow has nothing
in hifni ; Ho hasn't a singlo idea. He 1
has no policy?no conception of wbat
the j2oo.ntry requires. Jle don't understand
, the philosophy of a single
great question, and is completely lost
in trying to jiindcrstand his situation. '
He . jmendacious,. cunning and .
treacherous. Ho lied to me flagrant

-whole Cabinet; but that even would
bavo been tolerablo were it the only
inntanec; but it was not. He lied on
many-tftber occasions, I tell 3'ou, sir,
Grant i¬hing more than a bundle
of petty spites, jealousies and resentments.
And yet they say Grant is a
second "Washington. On)y think of
it, when you compare him with Washington

the people towards.any particularcnd.
He sits there with his Cabinet. One
member has bonght him a house in
Philadelphia, another has given him
65,000, another ha? given him a carriage,
and so on. It is degrading to
the office of Prcsidont of the United
States to have such a man thore.
They talk about his generalship.
Well, ho was a mcro incident of the
war. Mon and arms wore supplied in
abundance, and bis forces were so
massivo that they simply crushod out
the rebellion. It would have been
done had Grant never been born.
Therefore ho was a mere incident.
But the little fellow has come to think
he is somebody really. I can't help
pitying him when I think how well I
know him and what an infinitessimal
creature ho really is. I often think
that about the fittest place for Grant
is at some place in the country whore
there are cross-roads. 1 have been at
those places, and have often noticed
the scenes. At the corner perhaps
thero is a blacksmith's 6hop. At
another corner of the cross-roads
there is a grocery store, and at
another a house wliero tho squire
meets to settle cases. Well, I have
often noticed at such a junction of
several roads that when tho squire's
business is over, some fellow will propose
a horse race, and to give interest
to the thing a barrel of cider and perV>o?o

staked on the result. Now Grant is
just suited to such a situation. His
ideas are of the cross-roads order, and
ho has not a thought above that.
Mr. Johnson pays General Butler
the compliment of having a wonderfully
correct idea of Grant, "lie
used to como to see mo much at one
time, and expressed the profoundest
sontempt for Grant. 1I>? "stimate of
Srant was about iho same as my own.
lie thought Grant could bo made to
do anything, that he could bo made a
Bomplctc tool, and that if lie desired
he could have himself invited to
Grant's house. It happened precisely
30, afterward, just as Butler boasted."

who have to their otherwise harmless
shortcoming the insufferablo impudence
of introducing themselves with
much noise within educated and orderly
circles, as reputed men who
know the world. Society has to encounter
no greater bores. Tlioy are
livipg illustrations of the emptiness of
Lhe profession as practised by them ;
for knowledge of the world, in its refined
sense at least, recommends a
man to the sympathy of his intelligent
fellows, while tho assumed ac
compnsnment Bimply makes him a
nuisance. While the former clothes
him with a becomiug and dignified
reticcnce, the latter invests him with
an odious bombast and contemptablo
vulgarity that are repugnant to all
beholders. The 'truth is, if a man

A Flood from China.
It is estimated, that, on our Pacific
slopo, thoro aro upwards of one hundred
thousand Cbineso; some say two
hundred thousand. On Thursday of
last week some thousands arrived at
San Francisco in sailing vessels, and
they gave notice that multitudes were
at once to follow. Silver is found in
vory largo quantities in tho White
Pino district, and new gold mines aro j
constantly discovered; hcnce Chinese :
labor must soon bo, nay is now, in |
greater demand in our extreme West- J
crn States than it has ever been j
hitherto. Shrewd men say, that, in |
icn years, wc shall Iinve millions of
of Cliinoso iu our Pacific States and it
seems a decree of destiny that they
shall supply all the immense amount
of labor required in our Southern
States. They are a far hardier, more
industrious, and more thriving and
economical people than tlio negroes
over wore or ever can become in a
condition of either slavery or freedom.
Still wo don't know and cannot
know what traits of character they
will exhibit in the future, or whether
tliev will lift JL blMsintr ? l* n nnrao 4a
our hemisphere.
Ono thing is certain?the vast immigration
of Chinese into this country,
accompanied, as it already is to some ,
extent, and soon will be to an immense
extent, by immigration from
Japan, is certain to exert a mighty
influence upon our destinies, either
for good or for evil, long before the
close of this nineteenth century.
Men may speculate upon the probable
or possiblo results, they may indulge
in hopes and may cherish fears, they
maj* propose a thousand policies to be
adopted for the protection of the
national interests or the national life,

from which the multitudinous billows
of immigration are now breaking and

not have tho powor to solve for ourselves
the now and vast political,
social, and industrial problem that is
to be forced upon us, but be compelled
to leave it in a great measure to solve
itself, yielding in the meanwhile to
tho combined power of a thousand

that God rules the earth.
We have established facilities of in- (

Explorations at Jerusalem.
There seems to be no doubt that the 1
city of Jerusalom destroyed by Titus 1
remains ounca under tho foundations
of the modern town, and that many
most valuable relics may yet be
brought to light. The explorations
at Jerusalem, under tho direction of
Lieutenant Warren, are resulting in
some highly interesting discoveries.
Tho city is built upon a hill intersected
by valleys, but it is in tho depths
of these latter that the ruins of tho
ancient capital of the world arc to bo
found buried under dtbrit to the
depth of thirty, fifty, and even ninety
feet. The mode of exploring is
by sinking shafts through the mass of
accumulated rubbish down to the
ruins below. "Some fifty shafts have
been sunk, and at the bottom of one
the foundations of tho old walls of
the Temple Area have been found
ninety feet below tho surface. Mysterious
characters, at present unintelligible,
are to be seen on some of the
stones. Tho. exploration of the Birket
Israol, or f\>ol of Betbseda, has
revealed a vast vaulted reservoir
! nearly a hundred feet in depth. Its
| extent is st}ll being investigated.' In
, a part of the Harem Area a tank
( mouth was lately entered, and was
( found to lead to a large structure
t sixty-threo feet long by fifty-seven
wide, vaulted very much like a church
( Th&fe is every reason to hope that
, tho full investigation of theHo rninn
{ will yield the most important discov.
eries; but as every shaft sunk must
be lined with' wood, and as the wood
' soon decays at Jerusalem, the work is

for the bite of a mad dog, was received
by Postmaster Thomas recently.
Of the virtues of the medicine
we have not anything to say,
. never having boen unfortunate enough
to have the bite of a rabid canine
inserted in our flesh :
Postmaster, Cincinnati: Est'emed
Friend :?I see by tho papors that you
are having an amount of hydrophobia
in your city. As I can give a sure
remedy for this awful disease, I feel it
my duty to do so.. I hope you will
have this receipt made as public as
possiblo through your papers. I had
occasion to uso it on my son and myself
thirteen years ago, and could
name many others who have used it
with success.
Doctor Noble, of Philadelphia, has
known it to be used upward of forty
years on man and beast without
fail. This is known as the Godman
Remedy.
Receipt for. Hydrophobia.?Take
of the root of Elecampane (green or
dry) 1J oz.; bruise it well; one pint
of new milk ; mix and boil until reI
duced one-half. .Take this at one

The Lost Found.
A TRUE 8TORY KOR CHILDREN.
Several years ago, there wore groat
tracts of land in one of the Northwestern
States, covered with blackberry
bushes. There had been on
that land an immense forest of pine
trees, which had been cut down for
tho sake of tho timber, and in place
of it many small trees and blackberry
bushes grew up in great abundance.
In tho blackberry season hundreds of
persons flocked to tho open fields to
gather the delicious fruit.
One pleasant morning, aparty composed
of two gentlemen, an elderly
li'dy, two youug ladies, and two or
tnreo children, might have been seen
driving slowly towards a great blackberry
field. Having reached a good
place, they stopped and all began to
pick the berries, taking different directions
through the bnshes.
The smallest boy, a lad of three or
four years, having escaped the notice
of his mother and grandfather, wandered
off into the neighboring forest.
Not missing him, thjy continued
picking an hour or two, ? hen suddenly
an alarm was heard from one
of tho party?little Harry could not
be found 1 Tho company soon assembled
and began to search for the lost
boy. After searching for an hour in
vain, a burst of anguish came from
the whole party, but especially from
the agonized mother, who, overpowered
with grief, was wringing her
hands in despair, crying "My boy is
lost! lost! lost!"
One of tho gentlemen, after a moment
of silent prayer, started toward
the forest at some distance from tho
patch, calling at the top of his voice
tue name of the lost boy. Presently
he heard the voice of Harry in anb\ver,
and hastening to the spot he
found the little hoy sitting upon a log
where ho had set down to rest. With
unspeakable joy the man sprang forward,
and taking him in his arms,
bore him triumphantly to his mother.
When she saw her lost child restored
to her, she clasped him in her arms,
and almost overwhelmed with joy,
could only exclaim, "My boy I my

Dear children, God is calling to you
every day. through his word, through
kind teachers and ministers of the
gospel, to come to him. Every sin
you commit takes you farther and
furthes from God and heaven; and if
you continue on in your Bins you will
never reach that ha-ipy home, which
he has prepared for those who love
him. When you hear the Saviour
saying to you in the tenderest accents
of his love, '\My son, my daughter,
give me thy heart," will you not listen
to his voice ? If Harry had not
answered the kind gentleman when
he called to him, ho might have died
in the wild forest.
If you will come to Jesus now, he
will take yoa in his arms and bless
you, and make you happy while you
live and when you die will take you
to dwell with him forever.?>$'. aS.

The Agricultural Department has
issued its report for the months of
May and June. The returns show a
high average condition of wheat, and
indicate a good prospect of an abundant
crop, if no casualties occur before
or after the harvest. It should
bo observed, however, that the size
and succulence of the stalk favors
lodging or laying, which is reported
as already somewhat serious in parts
of the South and West. Rye, barley,
and other grains are generally in fine
condition. The corn crop is backward,
and the latest reports in regard
to cotton are favorable. The yield of
small fruits is unusually abundant,
with a fine promise for those coming
in later in thefltscason. Peaches will
be attand&nt in New Jersey aud Dela

A Mr. Matketh, says a Frtnch paper,
who recently died in England, followed
for thirty-five years the profession
of " fourteenth at table," by which ho
amassed a fortune of ?20,000. It
seems that, irreproachably dressed, ib
was his wont to present himself in
duo time at ;ho houses where there
was a good table, and to inquire
whether, thirteen persons being assembled,
his presence was desired. If \
the response was in tho affirmative
he cntei'ed tho dining room, and, after
eating his dinner, received one or two
pounds sterling according to tho
length and importance of tho feast.
London, it is added, still "possesses
two or three gentlemen who cxorciso
this trying occupation, and live with.
much comsort."

simple method to clean most any kind
of paint that has become dirty, and if
our housewives should adopt it, it
would save them a great deal of trouble.
Provide a plute, with some of
the best whiting to bo had, and have
ready some clean warm water, and a
piece of flannel which dip into the
water, and squeeze nearly dry; then
take as much whiting as will adhere
to it; apply it to the paiuted surface,
when a little rubbing will instantly
remove any dirt or grease. After
which, wash the part well with clean
water, rubbing it dry with a soft
chamois. Paint thus cleaned looks as
well as when first laid on, without any
injury to the most delicate colors. It
is far better than using soap, and
dues not require more than half the
time and labor.?'Couch'tnakcr?' Journal.
