Puring the -whole of one of last sum mer's hottest days I had the good fortune to ? be seated m a rail wax car near a mother and four childrenwhoee rela tions -with each other were bo beautiful that the pleasure of watching them was ' quite enough to make one forget the dis comforts of the journey. ; It was plain that they were poor ; their clothes were coarse and old, and had been made by inexperienced hands. The mother's bonnet alone would have been enough to have condemned the .whole party on any of the world's thor oughfares. I remembered afterward, with shame, that I myself had smiled at the first sight of its antiquated ugliness ; but her face was one which it gave you a sense of rest to look upon it was so earnest, tender, t.ne and strong. It had little comeliness of shape or color in it it was thin and pale ; she was not young ; she' had worked hard ; she had evidently been much ill ; but I have seen few faces which gave me such pleasure. I think she was the wife of a poor clergy man : and I think that clergyman must be one of the Lord's best watchmen of "souls. ' The children two boys and two girls were all under the age of 12, and the youngest could not speak plainly They had had a rare treat ; they had been 'visiting the ; mountains and they were talking over all the wonders they , had seen , with a glow ( of enthusiastic delight which was to be envied. Only a word-for-word record would do justice to their conversation ; no description could give any idea of it so free, so pleasant, so genial, no interruptions, no contradic tions ; and the mother's part "bornfe- all the while with such equal interest and eagerness that no one not seeing her face would dream that she was any other than an elder sister. In the course of the day there were . many occasions when it was ; necessary for Jher to deny requests, and to ask services,' especially from the eldest boy but no young girl, anxious to please a lover, could have done either with a more tender courtesy. She had her re ward ; for no lover could have been more tender and manly than this boy of 12. Their lunch was simple and scanty; but 1L JUKI ttlXXJ jgXOW? V " vy7 MA Wiuvv, I the last the mother produced with much I . . , , - 1 ! glee three apples and an orange, of which the children had not known. All eyes fastened on the orange. - It was evident ly a great rarity: I watched to' see if this test would bring out selfishness. There was a little silence ; just the shade of a cloud.' The mother said: "How shall I divide this ? There is one for each of you; antl. I- shall be best off of all, for It expect big tastes from each of you." ; ' " O, give Annie the orange. Annie : loves oranges," spoke the elder boy, with a sudden air of conquerer, -and at the : same time taking the smallest and worst 1 apple himself. O, yes, let little . Annie have the orange, echoed the second boy, who was rune years old. . . " Yes, Annie may have the orange, be cause that is nicer than the apples, and -she is a lady, and her brothers are gen tlemen," said the mother, quietly. Then there was a merry oantest as to who should feed the mother with the largest and most frequent mouthfuls; and so the feast went on. Then Annie pretended to want apple, and exchanged thin gold en tripe of orange for bites out of the cheeks of Baldwins; and as I sat watch ing her intently, she suddenly fancied she saw longing in my face, and sprang over' to me, holding out a quarter of an orange, saying,. '" Don't you want a taste, too The mother smiled,' understand inglylwhen I said, "No, I thank you you dear, generous little girl; I don't care about oranges." At non we had a tedious interval of Waiting at' a dreary station: We sat Jp - "two houls on a narrow platfoi which te sun hid scorched till it smelt of heat. Tie elder hoy the little lover held the youngest child, and talked to her, while the tired mother closed her eyes and rest. Now and then he looked over athelo&d then bock to the baby; and at last h said confidentially to me (for we had bepmo fast 1 friemds by this time), Isn't V tnUj to think that I was ever ! so soall! this vby; and papa says that then, mamaa ww vnost a little girl her- self.

Then I I heard the mother say to -thelder boy, "Dear, are you, too tired to let little Annie put her head on your shoulder and take a nap ! We shall get home in much I better care to see papa u we can luoungo I to give her a little Bleep.". How many ! boys of twelve hear such words as those j from tired, helpless; overburdened mothers? ! Soon came the city, the final stata-n, t with its bustle and noise. I lingered to watch mv happy family, hoping to see j the father. " Why, papa isn't there ! exclaimed one disappointed little voice after another. " " Never mind said the Smother, with a still deeper disappoint j ment in her own tone; " perhaps he had I to go to see some poor body who was t sick." In the hurry of picking up the I parcels and the sleepy babies, the poor 1 daisies and buttercups were left forgot i fan in tliA rvmAT of the rack. I -won dered if the mother had not intended this ! May I be forgiven for an injustice! A f ei minntes after I uassed the little group, standing still just outside the sta tion, and heard the mother say, " Oh, my darlings, I have forgotten your pret tv Wwiuets. I am so sorrv ! I wonder if I could find them if I went back. Will you all stand still and not move from this . e t t LI . of "Oh, mamma, don't go, don't go. We will get you some more. Don't go," cried all the children. " Here are your flowers, madam," said I. "I saw tliat you had forgotten them, and I took them as mementoes of you and yur sweet children." She blushed and looked disconcerted. She was evi dently unused to people, and shy with 11 but her children. However, she thanked me sweetly, and said : " I was very sorrv about them. The children took such trouble to get them ; and I think taey will revive m water. They cannot be quite dead." " They will never die !" said I, with an emphasis that went from my heart to hers. Then all her shyness fled. She knew me, and we shook hand and smiled into each other's eyes wjfh the smile of kindred as we Darted. As I followed on, I heard aie two children, who were walking behind, say ing to each other, " Wouldn't Wiat have been too bad ? Mamma liked them so much, and we never could luVe got so many all at once again." , "Yes, we could, too, nexy summer," said the boy, sturdily. They are sure of their r next sum mers, I think, all six of those souls -children, and mother, and father. They may never again gather so many oxeys daisies and buttercups "all at once." Perhaps some of the little hands have al ready picked their last flowers. Never theless, their summers are certain. To such souls as these, all trees, either here or in God's large country, . are Trees of Life, with twelve manner of fruits and j leaves for healing ; and it is but little change from the summers here,' whose suns burn and make weary, to the- sum mers there, of which " The Lamb is the light." ; Heaven bless them all wherever they are. How to Spell Bleyme.' The amusing farce at Pike's on Satur day night might have had a tragical end ing if the nine victims who went down on " bleyme " (pronounced bleem) had been kept at it until they had rung all the pos sible changes before they spelled the word correctly, according to the absurd, though authorized fashion. They tried bliphm, blhne, bleme, blimm, blegm, blim, bleem, bleme and bleame, but these are only nine ways out of forty-three thousand possible and legitimate modes of spelling this word, each one justified by the spelling employed in other words containing the same sounds. " They might have tried c-k-b-g-l-e-y-e-m-m-e bleem, orip-b-u-a-l-l-a-i-c-h-m blehm, or t-b-b-t-l-e-i-s-g-m bleem, or b- b-e-s-l-e-e-i-p-m-n bleem. ihese may seem queer spellings, put i are entirely justifiable.

Bbesleeipnm is justified by the use of bbe for b in ebbed, ale for 1 in isle, eip for long e in receipt, and mn for m. in hymn. The sound of b is represented-in Eng lish orthography in seven different ways, 1 in twelve, lodge in forty, and m in thir teen different ways. The changes, there fore, on these various modes of represent- iner the four sounds in "bleyme would give 43,680 justifiable ways of spelling this word. This is not an unfair illustration of the present barbarous method of represent ing English. Ben Pitman in Cincin- natti Commercial. Whisky's Work. On Monday the Italian sailor. Silvio Tamberius, who was stabbed by his brother. , Francisco Tamberius, on the bark Emanuele, at Canton, on the night of the 16th of March, during a meiee in stigated by liquor, was supposed to be dying at the Baltimore Infirmary. He expressed the' wMi to see his brother before - he s died, " that, he might , kiss him once more and tell him he forgave him for what he had done." The re- emest was made known to Warden Irvin, of the city jail, where Francisco is, in- carceratea oy ine xiauan tjossui, jux. ju. Aa Merolla. He was - referred td- the proper authorities, and in two hdurs the prisoner, accompanied by an officer and an attache of the consulate, was on his av in a carriage to the infirmary. The interview . between the brothers was one that will not be soon forgotten by those who witnessed it. The proba ble narricide threw himself beside the pallet of the prostrate man, passionately kissed ; him . many times, and then fell Renaless 'upon the floor. Two of the Kiatpjs of Dharitv in attendance -applied the proper restoratives and when he had recovered they gently- led him away, knowing that a . further prolongafion of the painful interview would be injurious to both.

Hayed by a Spider. " " The following siBcrular escarja from death of Noah Hopkins is related by his descendants, who vouch for the accuracy of the incident : Mr. Hopkins, over 100 years ago, resided r in Duchess county N. Y. After dispoainar of his trorertvi he joined the Susquehanna Company and weni to live in the far-famed Wyoming Valley, Pa. The Indians from the lakes Decame very troublesome and continued to roam in bands through the white set- uements, ravaging their stocks and crops. One night a sudden and unexpected at tack was made upon the settlement by a large band of infuriated savages, and the secuers nea lor tueir lives into the woods and mountains. The Indians pursued them their war-whoops falling upon the ears of the defenseless whites Like the cries of wild beasts in search of pre jr. Alter roaming about in the darkness for some hours, Mr. Hopkins stumbled over a large log that lay across his pathway, and finding it hollow crept into it. - Here he laid for several hours. The sun had arisen, and he was debating whether he had better continue his march over the mountains, when he heard the footsteps of his pursuers near by and their sub dued but animated conversation. He felt that his doom was sealed, and the cold sweat oozed from his body and brow. Weary with their long search, the Indians sat down on the very log in which Mr. Hopkins was concealed, while their eyes peered . hither and thither, hoping to catch a sight of some poor fugitive. Mr. Hopkins heard the bul lets rattle in their pouches, and he gath ered from their broken savage tongue, intermixed with English words, the in telligence that some of his friends and neighbors had been captured and slain. It was a moment of fearful anxiety. Some of the Indians walked around to the end of the log, and seeing that it was hollow stooped down and looked in. Their companions were called, and they all gathered around like hounds with their game holed as if ready to shoot the moment it emerged. The Indians seemed to be holding a brief consultation. Mr. Hopkins was just on the i point of sur rendering himself and begging for mercy on the ground of his many kind acts in former times to the Indians, when .- his attention was arrested by a large spider. which was busily engage weaving a large and beautiful web right over the entrance. He threw his threads from side to side with great rapidity, so that when the Indians came to look in they, too, seemed to notice this aerial work, and supposed, of course, no one could be concealed within. Soon after they disappeared. After remaining in this cramped retreat as long as he could endure he came out and wandered for many days in the wilderness, subsisting on nothing but the carcass -of a putrid turkey which he found dead, his clothing torn into shreds, his body lacerated, until he came once more upon the dwellings of white men.

A correspoudeni of the Chicago Tri bune enters a protest against the prac tice of shampooing. He says: . j It is well enough lor the people ot this country to understand once for all, that the reason why there is so many bald headed young men nowadays is the uni versal custom that prevails of shampooing the head with stimulating washes, The wonder is;' "that there are any men left with full suits of hair. The custom should be discontinued at once, and young men should be warned in 'season against . this pernicious practice; Let shampooing cease from tins tune lor ward." ' ! Modern Medicaid Discovekt.'

Barnum'8 Latest WoBders A Colossal Exhibition. ':" - Harper's Weekly devotes nearly two col umns to explaining and extolling , the: great enterprises wuh which P. T. Barnum is -mak las; hlatoricid his forty years' career as the most liberal and darine showman In the world.i : The statistics which Harper Brothers give us from authentic sources are nearly ..overwhelming.., They make an ordinary head dizzy. Mr. Barnum has always boasted that he gave his patrons double their money' worth, and his claims are generally acknowl edged r but this time he sdelns to have far out stripped himself. ' Last year he obtained from the Connecticut Legislature a charter for "The P. T. Barnnm's Universal Exposition Company," with capital of a million of dol lars; Mr. Baron m, who is President of the company, and Mr. Coup, his Manager, have spent many months in Europe perfecting their plans. The object of this great company, as they announce, is to elevate amusements, di vest them of ail objectionable features, and thus render them worthy the oatronage of toe; most moral and refined classes. They say that eventually Uiey will have a score or more of exhibitions (traveling and permanent) in America and Europe, and they intend that their chartered title shall be a iruarantee of the merits of whatever they bring before the public- The present season they: have but two exhibitions. One is Mr. Barnum's well known Museum. Menagerie, Circus and Traveling World's Fair;?' the other is simply called "The Great Roman Hippodrome." Mr. Barnum seems to have devoted years to per fecting this creat enterprise, -and nearly one ?ear of his personal attention was paid to it Europe. At an expense of tevoral hun dred thousand dollars be erected a irreat hip podrome building in the heart of New York city, and under an outlay of over 15,000 each day he has run his establishment in New York for nearly a year. This Exposition Compauy are engaged to ship the enure Hip podrome to Europe next autumn; menu while they have undertaken the diUicult taak of transporting it entire to the principal cities in America. Harper Weekly t&y .'.V . ' .?';' :-'- "The Great Roman Hippodrome will re semble a moving camp. . There are 1,200 men, women and children in Mr. Barnum's service, an -L the stock . Includes 'Sj horses and ponies, besides elephants, camels, English stair ana stag-hounds, trained, ostriches lions, bears, tigers and other animals. For tbe exhibition ot the menagerie aud the various shows, dis plays and performances connected with the enterprises, two enormous tents, each 600 feet in lenJi and 300 in width, have been provided, sue ot which will be kept in advance inorder tbat no time may be lost by delaying in making ready. The question of transportation by rail a "very serious one was strfredvby the construction of 150 cars twice tlie usual length, built expressly for this purpose. Among them are a number of ' horse-palace' cars, constructed with com modious stalls, in which the horses cau lie down and rest while ou the journey and arrive at the place of exh ibltion quite fresh for the per. formance. Besides moving the tents, anltunlg aud all other material in these Hippodrome' cars, oerius win oe proviaea in tnose aeroten to the pcmmnel of the company for nearly all the employes. Besides the great exhibition tents, and stable tents for the horses and other animals. There is also attached to tl& company a large corps of blacksmiths and carpenters and builders, seme of whom pre cede the show several days, to make ready fair the exhibition by preparing the ground, erect ing seats, etc. . Thedressiuir-room tents alone will cover more ground, than an ordinary circus. , " To move such an enormous establishment without hitch or delay requires the employ ment of clear-headed, practical men at the head of each department. Everything is so arranged as to move with the smoothness and precision of clock-work. At the appointed hour the canvas will go up, the street proces sion will move, ine penormsnce will com mence. When all is over, and the great tent emptied, everything will be packed up by those aetaiiea lor me wore, ana ine caravan, witn out the loss of a minute, will be on the move toward the next place of exhibition. 44 The programme of performance will be varied and attractive. Donaldson will make daily balloon ascensions with & -car large enough to contain a company of five or six persons, at a cost of about S500 a day for this feature alone. Then there will be the -' Ro man races' in chariots driven by 'Amazons;' the 'liberty races' in which foity wild horses are turned loose In the arena, in exact imita tion of the famous carnival races of Kome and Naples; ' standing races,' in which the riders stand on bare-back horses; hurdle races for ladies: flat races by English, French and American jockeys; besides camel, : elephant ana ostricn ana men Key races, juioiner feature will be the , exhibition of Indian life on the plains, in which the actors . will be scores of Indians, with their squaws and pap- pooses. iney will put up a genuine xuuiau encampment, hunt real puilaloes, give war aances, pony races. loot races airainst norses. exhibitions of " daring horsemanship, lasso- mrowing. &. Dana oi .Mexican nuers, aiounc cd on famous mustanes. will make a pretend ed attack on the Indian camp and give a mimic but faithful representation of the wild scenes -enacted on the Western frontier. The Euglish stag hunt will be an exact pict ure of the sport itself, with a company oi 150 men ana women in fuununun&r costume, ana a large pack of English stair-hounds. There will also be many other interesting and at tractive features, the mere mention of which would make a email volume. Mr. Barnum certalulv deserves frreat credit for an enterprise which is calculated to afford a vast amount or innocent, popular amuse ment: and although this srnrantic venture involves an enormous outlay of money it will present too many attractions not to be gen erally sustained.'' i- Auiazinsr as this exhibition seems from the description given by 'Harper', we can say, from actual observation, that one feature is to be introduced into the traveling Roman Hippodrome more Interestimr and instructive than any other.- It is the great procession known as "The Congress of Monarchs." The Uarpti omitted mentioning this because. probably, they supposed Mr. Baruum woula not dare incur the. expense of transporting such an enormous aifair through the coun try. But fae will do so, and here is a brief de scription of thia dazzling aud bewildering exhibition, as given by a New York contem porary: .it . . , - ui ail the gorgeous-pageants the worw ever saw the 'Congress of Nations' is the greatest, and how the surpassing genius of even Barnum could produce it is a wonder. ine costumes are true to lire, ana many or them are genuine, having been procured di rect from the nationalities which they repre sent. The individuaia employed to personate the historical characters have the most faith ful resemblance to the originals in face and physique. Each nation fluds its special por traiture in .some kind of triumphal car, Driu ianUy .bedecked with appropriate flags, em blems, colors and intricate devices, and all sorts of characteristics' in the way of pecul iar uniforms, animals, soldiery, attendants and music Scores of glistening glided chari ots illumine the arena with a halo of luster, as it were, and the display, of royal splendor is far more Imposing and impressive than words can describe, thrilling the auditor with unspeakable amazement and admiration. As the nameo the grand Congress Implies, it Is a stupendous gathering of the Monarchs of the' universe, bringing in vivid view the living Kings, Queens, Kuleia and. Potentates of U,o past nine centuries, culminating in an affecting finale so touching that it must awaken the emotions of a stoic -Her Majesty, the Queen of England, heads the glltteriog column, surrounded -bv her royal court and followed by a long ancestral line, the notabil ity ana ncnly.nnirormea . hie guarasincn. -Then France, In the person of Napoleon the First and his famous Field Marshals; Ireland, Kome, Russia, Germany,Itly, Turkey, India, Japan, Ciiina, and soon, until ail the Mon archs and Courts of tbe entire world pass in review, winding up like a Jewel-besprinkled coil around the continuous circle. To look upon this beautiful historical procession in ail its grandneBS and greatness is equivalent to sitting in full view of the courts of alt the earth, so truthtdtly realistic a?e the bewilder, ing pictures revealed In rapid succession. Such a dazzling half mile of solid gold, jewels, . silver, precious stones and tin sel eould only be produced after years of preparation and the expenditure of half a dozen competencies. Any attempt at imita tion on the part of ambitious and unscrupu lous showmen for spars to ccme will result in tbe most Inglorious failure. None other than the ' frince of (Showmen himself would undertake it, a& none other than the great and irrepressible Barnum could achieve so signal a triumph." . i This entire exhibition is advertised to ex hibit in New England in May, New York, eic, in June, Chicago early in July Ohio, Illinois and Michigan in July and August. - " It isTiue to our readers that we inform tnem that Mr., Barnum announces that certain Im postors in Cincinnati have copied his bills, i posters, cuts and advertisements, and with a few broken-down circus horses and wagons will precede his exhibition in the.

He cautions' the public against being ' thus, deceived, . and reminds .them that it would be impossible with any amount, of money to organize and equip' even a 'Bern'' biancc of his esiabliebnient without a prepa-, ration of several years. . The Cincinnati l)aily nnuireot Feb. 271875, says that this pie tended Hippodrome" is simply the " wreck -of that stupendous fraad known as the Great: Eastern and Great Southern Circus and Me nagerie combination, which exploded at Sel la, Ala., th 10th of -last November, a num ber of horses havine to , be sold to pay the expenses of shipping the show to this city. Where the proprietors left a number of their employes unpaid and penniless, and vamosed. Who the real proprietors of the business were still remains a matter or considerable mystery, but it is generally believed that Andy Haight, one Gibbons and George Weber and others were larpe stockholders.
