HOW BEAUTIFUL IS EARTH Oh God! how beautiful is earth, In sunlight or in shade, Her forests with their waving arch, Her flowers that gem the glade. Her hillocks white with fleecy flecks, Her fields with grain that glow, Her sparkling rivers, deep and broad, That through the valley flow. Her crested waves that clash thesborc, And lift their anthem loud, Her mountains with their solemn brows, That woo the yielding cloud. 3h God ! how beautiful is life That thou^lost lend us here, With tinted hopes that line the cloud, And joys that getu the tear. IVith cradle hymns of mothers young, And tread of youthful feet. Tint scarce, in their elastic bound, Bow down the grass flowers sweet, IVith brightness round the pilgrim's staff. Who. at the set of sun, Beholds the golden gates thrown wide, And all his work is done : But if this earth which changes mar, This life, to death that leads, 1 oa Km.nlSfnl hv Him lie Mimic ~j From whom all good proceed?, low glorious must that region be Where all the pure are blest from chance, and fear, aud sorrow free, Attain eternnl red. LITTLE MISS SIMMONS. "I want to see the person in charge." Tluse were the words that saluted he car of a distinguished officer who preside* at a Wcst4ld$ police station. The officer turned "fcnd beheld a little : ;ir! of about nine yrtirshf age, standing jpon tiptoe, so as to rest her chin upon he railing, the better to get at him. j > She was very watly dressed, but in a , =ort of old-womanish way that struck ne as odd, though not at all ourlandsh. Her hat strings were tied with a Quaker-like precision under her chin, ind there was a dignified look t<> her ace strangely in coutrast with her pears. ' "Well," asked the < ffiecr, "what do i pott want ?" i "Are you the person in charge?" nquired the child. ?__ "Its" 1 am Mi*? Simmons," she said, very I ieriou*1y. Ti c young officer smiled ] iliphtly, but again inquired what she do- J >irrd. "You see," she continued with I ;rcat gravity, "thrse boy* arc giving me j ots of trouble. 1 hare stvtod it as hop j i Iff can. I ' What boys ?" asked the officer. < ' The boys in the neighborhood," said l Miss Simmons, giving her place of rcsi- ' Jencc. ''Some of thctn ara big ones, loo. and eught to know better " "Why do they trouble you?" asked | the officer. "It's in them," said Miss Simmons; 'I giirss it's in all boys." "What do they do."" querieJ the officer. ' They throw torpedoes against the " -i ,L. ! window, and tnen iney come mc i/uivu d->ll trick," she replied. "What is that ?" "It's milking a ghest out of a pillow and a sheet and a broomstick, and tlun they stick it inside the doors, or up against the windows, and groan," she . replied. "And docs this frighten you?" asked ' he. "No, sir, I am not afraid of their i tricks; but when I am not there they come, you know, and scare Nathan, you BCC." "Who is Nathan?" "He is my papa, sir, who lives with me. because he has no home of his own." "Oh, he lives with you, docs ho?" said the official; "and he's your father?" "Yes. sir." "And why doesn't ha go out and drive the boys away?" 4 Bless you," said Miss Simmons, smiling at the officer's innocence, "lie wouldn't drive away anybody. He if as weak as a kitten." "So when you arc not at homo lie is afriad. is he.*" "Yes. and sometimes wheu I am at home and the boys come round shoot ing their torpedoes and groaning he bothers mc so hanging on to me, that I can't work." "What do you do, Miss Simmons?" said the officer, bailing forward and getting interested. ! "I am n dressmaker," returned tlie child, '-and sometimes I make Work shirts and overalls " ' And do you get plenty to do ?" ' I'retty plenty, though these are hurd times; don't you think so?" said she, with a great air of business. "Yes, they are, truly," said the officer. "Miss Simmons, I'll call down to ft' e you, and I promise these boys shall cease troubling you." Tbe child thanked him, and turning round walked quietly out. It was painful as well as amusing to see her. There was no gleam of childishness in her blue eye, no skipping along the sidewalk with the the exuberant fitcp of youth. If she had ev< r known a child's life she gave no evidences of it then, but seemed one on whom years of sad 'cxpcrienco had been laid while yet slio was almost in hei cradle. The officer visited her house and found it as she bad Raid. Her father had lost the uso of his limbs in a great measure, and from one cause and aim. tlier was imbecile und helpless. He watched her as a bnbo watches its mother, ready to smile when she pett- d him. but as ready to whinu piteously if she denied him attention. It was in the morning when the officer visited the house, but lie found the two little rooma as neat at wax, and at if ircsh from tb? c hands uf an experienced housekeeper. When Miss Simmons pot ready to leave for her work, she turnpd to the little old maD a9 if he were a baby, and pultinp marbles, and blocks, and wooden soldiers on the floor before him told him to be pood. ' I'll be back soon, Nathan." she said, cheerily, as she rumpled his hair and pitted his head. '"I am poinp to pet n'ckles and dimes, and quarters for you. Then we'll have fun." And she wphI out while ho sat gazing at her with a h ilf conseious smile on his withered fa -c. but a look of perfect confidence and trust in her. It was a strange sipht, that of infancy lending age, the birdling guarding the nest, and yet only stranpe because prtcrnaturally exhibited. For the days co'ne quickly when childhood glides into Rtatelyape, and age into dependent childishness, and the space is so brief brief between theui that we hardly note the change. The boys do not trouble Miss Simmons now, for the kind officer has warned them not to annoy her, and besides, her lire has become known through the officer's story, and, instead of throwing torpedoes, the boys stand aside respectfully to let her pass, and say to each other, in the midst of boisterous revelry, and with instant effect: ''llusV boys ! Here comes Miss Simmons:^" The Women of Crete. A correspondent writes as follows from Crete, the celebrated island in the MeUJterranein : A Cretan village is a strange Inokiog place. All the dwellinps are alike in ugliness, oblong in form, with walls of rough smne and .flat ropfs d|s-j titule of parapets ?nd-?Mmney*. One* or two arches are thrown ncross the length of the cottages to support ths roof, which consists of tetaeioufc clay a few inches deep laid on pieces of bark, snd tolled flat?let antiquaries shudder ?with the drums of marble columns. In Askyplw flie heavy srvpw storm* which occur theiy mak<\ it uo?fe t?] carry up the buildings higher'than ono story, and they certainly have a miserable exterior. My v I?nt jh? yomfot't within door* depends at AsKvphcCa* everywhere e!s?, n<>t on the architect, hut on the lady of the houcc. and the wives of the Sphakia rank high among their sex. They are conspicuous for their h<;notj. Tljeir dark eyes are large and Instrcus. their f.-ntures are very delicately chiselled, and waving tre?sps fall in rich profusion frooi beneath their modest kerchiefs. Their carriage is as graceful as the doe But, though possessed of uncommon personal charms, their attention is by no means confined to the toilet. Everything which their homes contain is the work of their own hands. The cloth of the huohand's jacket and fez of the wool of the shpep he tends is dyed, spun and woven by the hands of bis faithful wife. She it is who makes his garments from the cotton plant which grows before the door; the bright scarf that ?i... uimiN m?t niiint in nuui vnt; ou?hmIUI which feeds from his mulberry trees; the mats and tapestries whose bright designs, taken from the pattern book of tradition alone, give his home a cheerful air, are the work of her industrious loom, and many more objects that I am incompetent to enumerate are due to her untiring labors. It was these same ^phakian women who only ten years ago were, with their children, hunted from mountain to mountain, outraged, and murdered. In tho cottage of my guide, though the owner was by no means u chief among his people, the tablecloth, the napkins, the sheets, all of them homemade, wore bordered with Cretan lace; the pillow case was a single piece of the same material; the counterpane was so gorgeous with many colors that I did not refrain from expressing tny admiration for it. ' Yes," said my host, "my wife is of a very g< od family, and knows the old fashionrd ways of wearing which her her mother taught her." The cottage itself consisted of a mod crate sized room, with a gallery for sleeping in, and two very small ones, of which the larger was the kilchcn. The walls were tint even white washed, and the floor wub of mud; yet the spirit that reigned there reconciled one to nil. 1. dined with great Z".?t off KnglislT plates. which are prized there much as Japanese crockery is in Knglnnd ; hut without wine, not a drop of which was to he found in the seven villages?a significant fact.

It is easy to believe how such a people hate and despise any one, be he caitnakam or bo he "rnPordi," who attempts to introduce the vices of Western Kuropc into their mountain retreat. Tho Last Dollar. An American writer says : '"I saw yesterday at tho Police Court a one dol lar bill on the Hank of Montreal, which had been taken from someone unknown in payment for a fine, and upon the hack of which was written the following, in a nrat liana: "The last dollar of an ill-spent forlorn*. and while y?u ny reading those linen the writer lbs at the bottom of the Detroit river l'arewell. Touch not tho cup, it ruined me It." What a time warning does this short postscript fjivc to every younf* man.

C., MARCH Trnth SBmngrerthai* Fiction. Among tfioec who. enlisted in the ranks of the Confederates and wont forth to the battle of the "Lost Cause," at the commencement of the hostilities between the two sections, was n young Mr. Marrow, living in the upper part of this count)'. A short while before his regiment received marching orders, he was united in marriage to a Miss Cox, daughter of a highly respectnbh widow in the same vicinity. For some time after the hus. band left, his young wife rec-ivcd letters from hini regularly ; but after one of 'those fierce and bloody battles around Richmond, he was reported missing, communications censed, and the wife mourned him as dead. Weeks, months, years, passed away and still no tidings came of the missing I ? nusoana. In vain the papers wore scanned, and every returning soldier beseiged to know of the missing one. Nothing could be learned?nothing only "missing," aud thote enured to war know full well its significant meaning?dead ou the field of battle, unrecognized among the heaps of slain. On last Saturday as the shades of evening cast their sombre shadows over the earth, and that peculiar hush and stillness of the Southern twilight had settled upon bill and valley, a traveler, worn and weary, bent his lagging steps toward the home of the soldier's wife With faltering footsteps, on he came, toward a figure sitting upon the rustic doorstop. For one moment he paused before the reclining figure, when her head was raised a look of recognition flawed from eye to eye, a joj fill erv broke the stillness, and husband and wife were clasped in each other's arms after & separation of fourteen years. He who had been mourned as dead was confined in a Northern prison, nnd though oftentimes he had written, nothing reached the sorrowing wife. What hopes and fears must have crowded his bosom as he approached the place where fourteen rears before he had left his young wife. Flow his heart must have stood still at the thought I "Is she dead ?" or worse, is she married to another ?" And how happy, deeply grateful he tnu-t have been to j find that in hi* long, dreary absence the faithful wife had wutched and waited. What Women HaVe Done for the Newspapers and Magazines. The Lowell Offo.ting was the first magazine in America, if not tn the world, entirely sustained by working women. The Rev. A. C. Thompson says: "It wis the first work written entirely by factory girls, and the first magpzine or journal written exclusively by women in all the world " A volume entitled "Mind Auiong the Spindles.'' being n compilation from this journal, was pub lished in England. This was in 1843. James F. Bnbcock, ex editor of the New Haven Palladium, at an editorial convention held at Middletown. Conn , on the occasion of the centennial anniversary of the appearance of the newspaper in the State, stated these facts : "From the time of the first American ncwspapnr. in 1704, to the appearance of the first in Connecticut io 177P. there were seventy-eight newspapers in me ooUnies?onc-hmi'of which suspended before 1775. Of the whole number, sixteen were conducted by ladies, fourteen of whom were the firm and undaunted champions of liberty ar.d equul rights Mrs. Franklin was not only a printer of laws, newspapers, and almanacs, but ot calicoes and linens." The Boston Xcics-Letter, the first newspaper in America, was conducted during some parts of the Revolutionary War by Mrs. Margaret Draper. Dr. Warren. President of the Boston University, says, officially : "In no department of the tlio University has the presence of young women depressed the standard of scholarship; in several instances it has aided in elevating it. In the selection ofelectives they have never eviaccd a disposition to puss by the hardest mathematical branches or the in >st difficult of the languages. At all times has their influence |e#n promotive of order, studiously, and true social culture Of the hundred and twenty-seven students one hundred and forty four are women." The Telephone For Love-Making. "The King," writes a correspondent from Mudrid, "spends with his bride all the time allowed him by etiquette and i public affairs. lie hastens to Arunjucs, where she is staying, and during the I ? ?t>- t.ennder will at times jWUIIMJ ...V I ink out at the carriage windows to f>ec 011 the horizon the bare trees under wbich Philip II conspired against the conscience of the world.

The Desperate Fighter. A man cnmc into the Chrontrie office j this morning, and announced that his nntne was Randy S'iggins. from Pioche. He was six feet liijrh. had a revolver strapped to his l?ip. and carried a formidable-looking rifle. After introducing himself, he inquired where the Justice mine could he found. "You see, I've walked all the way from Pioche to pit a sit as a fighter, and if I can't fit the bill, there ain't no man in Nevada that can." lie was informed that the chances of petting a job as a fighter at the Justice wre rather slim, as the miners' union had discharged the entire pang of both n-ines. This information seemed to strike him like the news of the sudden death of a bosom friend. "You don't mean to eey that they ain't poin to fight ? You don't tell me that they have drawed off? If they hnve, it's mighty rough on a man that's walked all the way from Pioche to take a hand." "You might not have pot a job even if they did fight," suggested a reporter. "What. Sandv Stiggins not get a job ns a fighter ? The minute they'd hear my name mentioned they'd begin hiddin' for my services. The crowd that had ine with 'em would feel safo.

I kin load and fire a revolver so fust that it cits red hot and?" Just then Fleubite, a small cur, that belongs to the office, came in, and recojr nizing the stranger as a suspicious character, sprang at his legs with a series ; of savage yelps. Mr. Stiggins jumped about three feet iu the air, yelling : "Take hiui off! Oh. I ain't a dog fighter! Take hiir. off!" and finally rushing through the door like a wild Indian, the Piochc fighter disappeared down Taylor street, leaving Flcabite barking at the door.? Virginia (Nev.)

What the /'/// Mull (lazrttc ironically calls ''incidents of the holy war of the nineteenth century" are vividly described by a corrcsopndent of the IhtHy uneiiiminnicd the Russian i iU:itd w i?w ?.v? ? army from Philippopolis to Hcrmanli. IIo saw ihe bodh-s of Bulgarian peasants with terrible wounds in the head and neck, somtiwH mutilated and dis- i figured; women and infants, children and 1 old men, both Turkish and Bulgarian, fallen in the fields by the roadside, half buried in the snow, or lying in the pools of water. It seemed to have been one Ion 5 battle between the peasants of both 1 rices, in which the dead were counted I equally for each; but while many of the , bodies bore marks of violence and j showed gastly wounds, the great proportion of toe women and children were evidently frozen to death, for they lay on the snow as if asleep, with the flush of life still on their faces, and the pink skin of their feet and hands still unbianched. Side by side with these many corpses of old men, full of dignity even in death, lay stark by the roadside, their white beards clotted with blood, and their helpless hands fallen upon their breasts, From the muddy water of the ditch- r tiny hands and feet stretched out, and baby faces half covered with snow l>iok?'d out innocently and peacefully. with scarcely a signjof suffering on their features. Frozen at their mothers' breasts, they were thrown down into the snow to lighten the burden i of the poor creatures who were struggling along in mortal terror. BMara?BMPtMl I Ml' Ml NUMBER 35 Besieged Twenty-Three TimesConstantinople has undergone more sieges than any other city in the world. It has been besieged twenty-three times; twice by the ancient Greeks; thrice by the Roman cinporors; once by the Latins, the Persians, the Avarcs, the Sclaves and by one of its dethroned sovereigns, Michael Paleolugus; twice by the Bulgarians; once by the Bvzantino rebels; seven times by the Arabs, and three times by the Turks. It was taken but six : by Alcibiades, the Roman Emperors Septimus, Severus and Constantine, the Doge Dandolo and Count Baldwin, the Emperor Michael Palcologus and Mohammed II. In G72, under Constantino II., it was besieged for seven years by the Arabs They made the surrounding country a desert, uprooting trees, levelling villages and habitations, and converting the flourishing environs into a waste. Then n tlin Pwnonrlr *-o in 1 9HJ. Tlin ilfl. vastatioD committed by the I'rcnch and Venetian champions of the cross exceed ed even that ol the Arabs. They burned the richest and largest quarter of the city, and inflicted such a blow on it that it never recovered its former wealth and prosperity. They profaned the Cathedral of St. Sophia, broke into the tombs of the Ifyzantine emperors, dragged out their skeletons, and scattered their bones in the street4: They fired the public libraries, ridiculed the Greek religion by decking their horses with the vestments of the clergy, and their heads with tbe pon?ifie.il tiaras. Were it not for the incomparable beauty and advantages of its situation, Constantinople could never have risen again from its ashes and survived such terrible calamities. A Curious History. The Stewart Palace (says the New York correspondent of the Ulica llerail) has thus far ruther a strange history. The lot was purchased by Townsend, the sarsaparilla man, who made a fortune out of that nostrum and built what wa* then (1S34) the finest house iu the city. Such was its beauty that it was exhibit'd before they took possession at twenty-five cents admission, for the benefit of a charity. Townsend afterwards failed, and Stewart bought the property at Sheriffs sale. He pulled down the house and planned the present palace. This wa done before the war, when prices were low, and the inflation so increased the cost of labor aud material that the contract became a heavy Ins* Stewart held the contractor to the letter, and the unfortunate man suffered to almost a ruinous degreo. It is seldom that a buildiug constructed under such circumstances avails much to the owner. St? wart was eleven years pn paring a palatial houic for his old ago, hut he diid soon after taking posst-s-ion. The grandest palaco in America is tiow occupied by a childless old woman and her sercents. The gorgeous parlors, the picture gallery, and all the luxurious interior arc now a silent waste. The loftv ceilings render the staircase a labor, s.ud the mistress, being lame from a fall, is unable to meet such a difficulty. A person in such a condin.i.ct l>n /v\ntnnt<>il with the limit* ofa bedroom, and hence the largest part of tho palace is useless. Such is the condition of an establishment Which cost a round million and on which the taxes alone are 37.000 a year. Queer Name. Old Dr. Levi Bull, nn Kpiscopalinn clergyman of Chester County, Pennsylvania, who died six or eight years ago. used to tell of a man an" his wife?plain people?bearing the uneuphonious surname of Frog, and who came to hiui one Sunday morning, just at church-time, to have their child baptized. Without any preliminary observations, they were called up to the font at the end of the Second Lesson. "Name this child," said tho Doctor "We name it aft'r you, Sir," whispered the woman as she handed the baby. "Oh, but," whispered the Doctor back, "you uamed the last one Levi, as 1 now remember." * 1 ? /i --11 "Well, Kind she, in a nurry, -can this one after your t'other name." And .so the Doctor did, and christoncd the child by the name of Bull. After the parents got home, and the excitement of the day had somewhat passed off, they began to reckon it all up. and they saw, for the first time that it had struck their attention, that their youngest darling was bound to go through life with the nomen of Hull Frog. The Bible in th? Family. The mother of a family was married to an infidel, who made a jest of religion in the presence of his own children ; yet she succeeded in bringing them all up in the fear of the Lord. I oue day asked her bow slia preserved them from the influence of a father whose sentiments were so openly opposed to her own. This was the answer : Because to the authority of a father, I did not suppose the authority of a mother but that of (lod. From the earliest years tuy children have always seen the Bible upon my tabic. This holy book has constituted the whole of their religious instruction. Did they propose a question ? did tlicy commit a fault ? did they perform any good action ? 1 opened the Bible, and the Bible answered, reproved, or encouraged them. The constant reading of the Scriptures has alone wrought tho prodigy which surprise - yea." ADVERTISING RATES. Time. 1 in. } col.

Indian Archery. . Indian arclicry is somewhat different from that practiced by tho young ladies and gentlemen of more civilized society. These latter take the arrow between their fingers, place it against the bowstring, and make it assist in bending the bow. An Indian docs not do this. He takes bis arrow between the index fin ger, and pulls the bowstring with bis middle finger; nor does lie raise bis ar- M row as our boys and girls do; lie shoots straight out front the sholder, and ap- fl pears to take no aim whatever. Ilo ^ hits the mark, though, too ofcen, as the 1 soldiers about the garrison con tell, who S, have flung their hats or caps into the air, at some Indian's suggestion, only to have them pierced by the arrow. The growing papoose that is as soon as these are able to toddlc; arc furnished with bows and arrows, of which the points have been sharpened, and may be seen about the reservations shooting at marks, at small birds, anything else 'hat may happen to attract their attention.
