BITTLK. “I want to dance, I love to dance, I like a joyous life to live, 1*11 ecarcely have another clmucc, And then my heart to God I’ll (five. Yon say that notr I should forsake The »teps that lead the downward way. Your good advice not now I’ll take, But wait till I am old and gray. I’d be » Christian, but I hate To yield the dance I love so well; I think I’ll run the risk and wait. I’m not afraid of death nor hell. For ‘God is love,’ and will not have My soul*in endless torment dwell. So cease your talk about the grave. Of pleasure now I’ll take my fill. 1 can’t give up.the polka gay, The quadrille, waltz and schottisch too. Pray call again another day, . Perhnps I then may talk to you.’* She danced and waited one more year, Immersed in wild frivolity, Without a single thought or fear To such a life an end could be. They sent for me. The summons came: “Life’s tide is ebbing very fast.” Laid on a feverish couch of pain, That fatal year had been her lust. “I’ve gained the world, uiy soul is lost!” This was her sad, despairing cry. Without one fay of hope she passed • Into a dark eternity! Oh! thoughtless youths who falsely say, “That life is long, no danger’s near,’* The Savionr says, “Yield thee to-day, You may not lire another year. What profit though the world you choose And lose your own undying soul! What in exchange would you propose Could you the wealth of worlds control V* The Spirit grieved conies not again; Then mercy takes its final flight. Ah! then you’ll call and ask in vain,. Your future ends in hopeless night! Savannah, Qa. Children’s Department For the Lutheran Visitor. The Chariot of Fire. “You promised to toll us how Elijah weut to heaven mother; won’t you relate the story to us to-night P said Heury as they sat by their mother the next evening. “Yes I will tell you. about it if you wish,” said she. “He lived in the ieigu of Ahab, and it was after the famine for the want of rain, that I told yon about, that Jezebel, Abab’s wicked wife, determined to kill Elijah. The prophet beard that she was trying to kill him, and he went as fast as be could to Beersheba and there he left his servant, but as for himself he weut off into the wilder ness and sat down under a juniper bush, and asked the Lord to let him die.! After a while he was so tired that he fell fast asleep and^then the aqgel of the Lord touched him and told him to get np and eat some thing. Elijah wondered how anything cou]d be got to eat in the wilderness, but then when he remembered the many times the Lord had fed bim by miracle, he wondered no more, bat got np, and behold! he saw a cake of . bread and some water in a cruse at his head, and so he ate and drank, and went to sleep again. And a» second time the angel touched him and said, ‘Arise and eat, for the journey I want you to take is long and you will be very tired.’ Then Elijah got up and ate just as much as be could, and, then he traveled for forty days and nights till he came to Horeb, a mountain very wild and full of large rocks and tall trees, springs of water and deep thickets; and where he thought, ‘Here Pll hide from Jezebel,’ but it was not to hide Elijah that God brought him to Horeb, but to show the prophet his power, and that he was stronger than Ahab. So 'after. Elijah had gone into a dark cave and sat down to rest, he heard a voice call him and say, ‘‘What dost thou here? Then the prophet told the Lord that the children of Israel had forgotten him, and worshiped idols, and that Jezebel was trying to kiU even him, because he was a prophet; the Lord said, ‘Go and stand on the montain and look for me, I shall pass along.’ Directly a great and strong wind efime and rent the raountaiu and tore up the tall trees ; and it was a terrible storm. Then the prophet thought the Lord was in the storm, but he was not. After the storm, came a great earthquake, but the Lord was not in that. Then a dazzling, raging fire passed before the prophet, but the Lord was not in that either, for after that when everything was still and quiet, Elijah heard a still small voice, like distant music, and it called him and said, ‘What dost thon here V And when the prophet complained to bim that his heart was sad because the people had forsaken him, and that he thought that he was the only one left that loved God, the Lord said, ‘You are mistaken about that for I know of seven thousand who have ! not worshiped the idol Baal. Go return and Show yourself to Ahab and tell him how he shall die, don’t you fear him, he shall not hurt you. Make Hazael the king over Syria, and Jehu king of Israel, and anoint Elisha the son of Shaphat as prophet in thy stead, and then I shall send for you.’ So El^ah has tened down from the mountain and soon found Elisha, for he was at work in his fathers’ field ; and wheu he saw him he cast his mantle on Elisha, and he left off his work and ran after Elijah and went with him. Some days after that, Elijah said to Elisha, ‘The Lord will come for me to-day,’ and Elisha would not leave him, for he wauted to see him when the Lord sent for him, so they weut ou their way walking and talking till they came to the river Jordau, aud there Elijah took his mautle, and smote the water and it divided, aud left them a path dry in the middle of tho river.” “Just as tho water of the Ked Sea did, when Moses stretched out his rod, was it not mother f” said Henry. “Yes, just so, aud utter they had gone over Elisha said, ‘Let a double portion of thy spirit rest u{H>n uie, I pray thee, if you must leave me alone,’ Then Elisha said, ‘You have asked a hard thing for me to grant, but if you see me when I am takeu up, it shall be granted to you ami if you dou’t see me, then tlio Lord will not grant your request.’ Presently as they walked and talked; behold a chariot of fire, and horses of fire ap peared before them right out of the sky.” “Real Tire, mother T” “Ob, no; but as bright, shining and dazzling, as if the horses were ou fire; yon know how bright and glow* ing a coal of fire is, you eau’t bear to look at it, so this chariot was of such a vivid, glowing color that it looked like fire; and it parted Elisha from Elijah, and with a whirlwind went up into the sky, and Elijah in the chariot. Then Elisha called after him, ‘My father, my father, tho chariot of Israel aud the horsemen thereofP Then he saw Elijah no more, for the clouds received him away up in the sky. Elijah left his mantle when he stepped* into the heavenly chariot, and Elisha took it upaudsaid, ‘Where is the Lord God of Elijah f aud ho went back to Jor dan and suiote the waters with the mantle aud they divided again, and he went over on dry land. After that, Elisha became the Lord’s prophet, and did many wonderful miracles by the power of the Lord; and proved to tho people that God had made him the successor of Elijah” “Do we ever hear ol Elijah again mother T” “Once more my dear, 'Thousands of years afterwards, when the dear Saviour came upon earth, on one occasion he went np into a mountain in the laud of Palestine with his disciples, and was transfigured be fore them, that is his clothing be came bright, and his face aud figure became gloriously bright and daz zling and a glowing cloud descended on the top of the mountain, and the disciples saw in the midst of the glory that surrounded the Saviour the forms of two men, one was Moses and the other Elijah. This the Holy Bible tells us. These saints came down from heaven to talk to the Saviour, and to strengthen and comfort him for the dreadful death that he was so soon to suffer for us. The Bible tells us that after Jesus rose from the grave, he ascended into Heaven from the top of’ Mount Olivet, aud that a bright cloud hid him from the view ot his disciples, aud that au angel stood by them and talked with them. I have thought perhaps that in that bright cloud of angels sent to escort the Saviour to Heaven, no doubt Moses aud Elijah were tho foremost ones; as they were sent to comfort him here, they prob ably were sent to accompany him to glory. After this mention of him, we hear no more of Elijah, but if you are good children and love Jesus you will certainly see bim in Heaven when you die.” B. The Saw of Contention. “O Frauk! come aud see bow hot my saw gets when I rub it. When I draw it through the board a while, it’s most hot enough to set fire to it.” “That’s the friction,” said Frauk, with all the superior wisdom of two more years thau Eddie boasted. “Yes,” said sister Mary, who was passing, “it’s the friction. But do yon know what it makes me think ofr ; “No, what f” askefi both the beys at once. “Of two little boys who were quarreling over a trifle this morning; and the more they talked, the hotter their tempers grew, until there was no knowing what might hare bap- hened if mother had not- thrown cold water on the Are by sending them into seperate rooms.” The boys hung their heads, and Mary went on. “There is an old proverb which says, ‘The longer the saw of conten tion is drawn, the hotter it grows.’ ” “I tell you what, Frank,” said Eddie: “when we find ourselves getting angry, let’s run out and use the saw Krisskringle brought tne, and then we sba’n’t find time for the saw of coutentiou,” Miscellaneous. Preparing Skeleton Leaves. A corresiiondent of Science Gossip, after referring to the tediousuess of the ordinary way of preparing skele ton leaves, which it enough almost to tax the patience of Job, and which most experimenters give up in despair before getting through with it, de scribes a new method, which is easy, cleauly, and takes but little time. It is as follows: “First dissolve four ounces of com mon washing soda in a quart of boiling water, then add two ounces of slacked quicklime, and boil for about fifteen minutes. Allow this so lution to cool; afterwards pour off nil the clear liquor into a clean sauce pan. When the solution is at boiliug {mint, place the leaves carefully in the pan, and boil the whole together for an hour. Boiling water ought to lie added occasionally, but sufficient only to replace that lost by evapora tion. The epidermis and parenchyma of some leaves will more readily separate than others. A good teat in to try the leaves after they have been gently boiliug for about an hour, aud if the cellular matter does not easily rub off lietwixt the finger and thumb beneath cold water, boil them again for a short time. Wheu the Hcsby matter is found to be suf ficient! j softened, rub them separate ly but very gently beneath cold water until the perfect skeleton is cx|siscd, The skeletons at first are of a dirty white color; to make them of a pure white, .u»d, therefore, more beautiful, alt that Is nrmaary is to bleach them in a weak solution of chlorid^ of liine. 1 have found the liest solution is a large teaspoonful of chloride of lime to a quart of water; if a lew drops of rinepir are added to the bleaching solution, it is all the Utter, for then the free chloride is liberated. I>o not allow them to remain too long in the bleaching liquor, or they will become too brittle, utul can not afterward* lie hiiudlpd without injury. About fifteen minutes is sufficient to make them white and clean lookiug. Dr}’ specimens in white blotting-paper, beneath a gentle pressnre, after they arc bleached. “Simple leaves are the best for. young liegluuers to exjwriuieut u|Mi; the vine, jioplar, heron, and iry leaves make excellent skeletons. Care mnst lie exercised in the selection of leaves, as well as the period of'the year ami the state of the atmosphere when the sjiecimens are collected, otherwise failure will lie the result. The best months to gather the speci mens arc July aud August. Never collect specimens in damp weather ; and none but perfectly matured leaves ought to be selected.” Assyrian Cuneiform Inscriptions. Thirty years ago the history of imperial Nineveh, then buried nuder indistinguishable ruins, was well- ulgli a blank. But to-day we are tolerably well informed with regard to the history of the entire Assyrian Empire. The cuneiform or wedge- sha|ied character, brought to light by the researches of Layard, has been the means of thus nuveiling the past. And since few of the readers of The Churchman probably have any cor rect understanding of the method by which these characters have been interpreted, a hint or two u»ay prove timely. The key to the inscriptions at Nineveh, which no ooe could in terpret, was) found at Behisttiu, where a trilingual inscription existed on the face of a lofty wall of solid rock. The first ooluniu of the in scription was Persiau; the second, Medo-Hcythic; the third was of the same character as the Assyrian. This proved to the cuneiform inscrip tions what the famous Rosetta Stone of Ptolemy was to the Egyptian hieroglyphics; and, after much severe study, the secret w as unravelled, the process of interpretation forming the most brilliant literary feat on record. It was found that wherever the same word occurred in the first, or Persian column, a group of characters was found in the Medo-Scythi© and Bab ylonian columns corresponding to it. Thus it was discovered that certain groups of words must contain the same statements. Next, it was found that the namet of mea, in the second and third columns, was preceded by a vertical wedge. Grotefend next grappled with the words themselves, setting forth the hyjKithesis of homophone*, or distinct characters representative of the same sound, following the analogy of tbe Egyptian hieroglyphics, which stood from the initial tound in tbe name of the object represented. Hincka next inferred that the character was not alphabetical like the Roman alphabet, thus representing a stage in the his tory of writiug when the analysis of sounds was imperfect. Next it was found that some of the characters were not phonetic, but ideographic, representing objects or ideas, though occasionally tbe aauie character stood for both object and sound, as in tbe hieroglyphics. Rawlinson also discovered tbe^ex istencc of polyphone*, or unrelated values iu the same character. After setting points like these, the Assy- riologists groped their way along, and were flually able to read the long-buried Babylonian histories, en graved on cylinders aud slabs, aud which now throw a flood of light upon the Old Testament narratives. Nevertheless, there is a somewhat wrong impression abroad among the people with respect to the degree of confidence felt by Assy riologists with respect to thpirowu conclusions. At present, they can uot teat the accuracy of an interpretation, and there is no check upon arbitrary guessing. Tbe degree of success achieved, iu view of the difficulties, is magnificent, yet the whole riddle is not solved.—Churchman. About Oil Wells. W© live near the Alleghany River where *11* very hilly, almost moun tains, yet tbe scenery is very heauti- ful. And we are in the oil country you have no doubt heard of, and I am going to tell yon about the oil wells. First, they build a very high, square frame, sixty and seventy feet high, much smaller at the top, and aupjiorted by cross pieces; they call it a derrick, and It is used first for drilling a well, And tbcu for pumping tbe oil. Then they get their boiler and engine, and drill by steam power. They drill ten or twelve hundred feet before they get oil. Bometimes, wheu they first strike oil, it will flow oat and np over the der rick and on to the engine and take fire, and burn it all down so they have to build anew ; then they draw tbeir drilling tools, and put in tools for pumping; they sometimes pump over a hundred barrels a day, hot *tis a very good wellf* they are mostly from twenty to fifty barrel wells. » They build large, round vats that 1 will hold and three hundred barrels for the oil, snd wheu one is full they ruu it to tho river in pipes, where it is taken to tbe refineries. Perhaps ; aousui Johnnie, or tbe Winoousin, | Iowa, nod Miimcssota girls and hoys read tbe Rural, evenings, by tbe lights from the oil taken from the oil takes from tbe wells near here. There are between three and four hundred wells around here, and any direction I look, I can see the der ricks extending into tbe air. There is a great amouut of money made, and a groat deal lost, for sometimes they ritfw to the expense of put ting down a well and get no oil.— Rural .Yor Yorker. Government finances.

The following brief compilation of business law is worth a careful pres ervation, as it contains tbe essence of a large amount of legal verbiage : It is not legally necessary to say on a note “for value received.” A note made on Sabbath la void. 'Contracts made on Sabbath can not be enforced. A not© made by a minor is void. A contract made with a minor is void. A contract made with a lunatic is void. A note obtained by frond, or from a |iersoti iu a state of fntoxieatiou cannot be collected. If a note is lost or stoleu, it does uot release the maker, be mnst pay it, if tbe consideration for which it was given and tbe amount can be proven. Au endorser of a note is exempt from liability if not served with notice of dishonor within twenty- four hours of its non-payment. Notes bear interest only when so stated.

SIMMONS' Forgiveness to A soldier was about to be brought before his commanding officer for some offence. He was au old offend er, and had been often imdflshed. “Is be here again f” said tbe offl- j^^onjLhf man’s name beiug called over; “flagging, disgrace, solitary confinement, everything Ims been tried with him !" W hereupon the sergeant stepped forward, and, apologizing for tbo liberty he took, said: “There is one thing that has never been done yet, sir.” “What is that f” said tbe officer. “Well, air,” said the sergeant, “he has never been forgiven.” “Forgiven P exclaimed the colonel, surprised at the suggestion; but when he had reflected for a few minntew, he ordered the culprit to be brought in, and asked hitu what he had to say to the charge. .“Nothing, sir,” he said, “only I ain sorry for what 1 did.” Turning a kind and pitiful look on the man, wlio expected nothing else than that bis punishment would be increased with the repetition of his offence, (lie oolouel addressed him, saying: “Well, we have tried every thing with you, and now we are re solved to—-forgive you.” Tbe soldier was struck dumb with amazement; the tears started in his eyes, and. he wept like a child. He was humble to tbe dust; and thank ing his officer, he retired—to be the old, refractory, incorrigible man T No! From that day forward he was a new man. In him kindness bent one whom barshuess could not break. The man was conquered by mercy and melted by love.

Fattening Fork A writer in the Ohio Farmer makes the following statement: Some year* ago 1 was desirous of obtaining information as to the best and most profitable way of fattening hogs. 1 inquired of my neighbors and friends, aud found some in favor of close floored pens, and others dry lots; »ml as to the amount of pork a bushel or barrel of oorn would make, their opinhms were as various as their countenances. I was just be ginning to farm, aud as I was desi rous of knowing the best way of fattening hogs, I determined to try the different plans, and also bow much pork a barrel of oorn will make. I made a floored pen and covered it in. Weighed three hogs and put them in the pen. I also weighed three of tbe same size, and pat them in a dry lot—average weight 175 (rnuuda. I fed six barrels of corn to the six hogs. They were forty days eating tbe corn—with pleuty of salt and w ater. Their aver age gain was seventy-five pounds. The hogs in the lot gained tbe most. One that was fatted in that lot gsiu- ed eighty-eight pounds. One in the peu gained eighty four pounds; the other four were uot so thrifty. These hogs were about fourteen mouths old when slaughtered. I put them up the :&th October. There was a good deal of sleet aud snow daring the month of November, which gave the hogs iu the pen an advantage they would uot have bad if the weather was favorable; they eat the same quality of grain in the same.

The Pont-Office was not visited from Saturday night till Monday morning. Other banking-houses received their mail on Sabbath as usual. Jay Cooke refused to do this. Two millions of bonds and funds often remained in the Post-Office over Sabbath. The rest of tbe Sabbath benefited all classes. Fewer mistakee were made in thin house than probably any other in the laud. One hundred dol lars would cover all the loom* tie curred in tbe mails by tbis house during its leaf suuueetiuu with the pork; and that the six barrels of com made $11.25 worth of pork at two aud one-half cents per pound; aud that the farmer gets twelve aud one half ceuta for his labor of feed ing per bushel, over selling at tweu- ty-five cents per bushel. Hogs will fatten faster in Septem ber and October than they will iu colder weather. A few years ago I fed one barrel of corn to a very’ flue Berkshire hog that was a\>out thir teen mouths old, iu the months ot August and September, and he gain ed ninety seveu lbs. in thirty-seven days, which was the length of time he was catiug tbe barrel of corn. He rau on a clover lot, which was of great advantage. This last experi ment is considerable over an average, and would uot hold good with com mon hogs. From tbe above experi ment it will lie seen that three and two-thirds pouuds of corn, supposing the coru to weigh fifty-five pounds to the bushel, will make oue pound of pork. .
