A miracle from Nature's God. , .

No happier spot 'neath Heaven's high dome,

Than where, secure from care and strife.
The farmer leads his peaceful life,
Unvesed by oil and tricks for gain,
Ho turns the fertile mold ;
Then scatters on the goMen grain,
Aud reaps reward a hundred fold.
He dwells where grac and henuty charm,
For God hath hlewtcd bis hop and farm. '

the chief, ' for in the at pbins of the

chief said: 'My on. what colored lnrc

wc will go among theMonc and on rocky

Tea costs 35 cents per pound in China,
the duty is 25 cents, that makes GO cents.
The freight to New York about two cents,
the importer s fair prout IU per cent..

brings the tea to the consumer at 93 cents
per Tjound, allowing over two cents tor
treight from cw lork to Cincinnati
This same tea -cannot be had in this city
for less than 81,50 per pound, giving 57
cents nlunder on each pound, tor tbe
benefit of the heavy capitalists who mon
opolize the tea trade. 'Were there no du

strengthen tho doubt ,e6neeniing her
gnilt, or, at lcnnt, faine a '.quCMtion in
tho mindu of many who are yet famil
iar with the memoroldo wandal with
which her nam is coupled :
; I, for ono, do not lelieve Mr. Sick
les guilty of tho chargo rnado againnt
her. I helievo Sickles to have iHjen m
vilo in hw treatment of his Ayifo as he
was in every other respect ; jeihaps
nioro vilo, lx'cauKp he could wrong her
with - impunity, and nweep 'front tho
earth, covered with odium, a man
whoKo graceH created envy in liin own

or was a reproach to hw own vilcness,
and whoH intellect and culture were
far beyond, hit awu-reoeh; and wIiobo

I admit that it is dangcroiw ground,
thin Hvmpathv for a jnarru-d woman,
w ho Ix-tter Ik) content to milter, endure
and dio than touch the temjiting cup.
Lot thin hiiflice on thin head.
That Mrs. SickleH woh lovely in per
wn, simple and child-like in character,
all admit. Such characters are not
easily degraded. "Wero hhe the de
graded creature ho han led the world
to believe, her KenKibilitieH would , not
have remained ho acute that nhe died
iu lens than two years of a broken
heart.
She was weak and cowardly, I ad
mit. Alas! these defects would have
made her aered in the eyes of n man
ly man, and ho would have done his
utmost to shield her from evil.
Let mo depict tho few last hours in
the life of this injured woman.
Stung, it may l, by au irresponsible
feeling of remorse, he pretends in the
eyes of the world to have restored her
to favor. I will not discuss tho pro
priety of this kind of klopstock senti
ment. I speak of the faet.
She was placed in a handsome house,
with the ordinary appliances of wealth.
Of the secret history of the two at
thus time nothing need Ikj aid. She
was ruined iu character, broken in
he alth, utterly lot to the world o ou
ly women can W lost left without
society, and without sympathy, except
from the few who were related to her,
ami who loved and pitied her. She
had long intervals' of nervous prostra
tion, when h)w would lie for htnirs like
a dvinr person. She mt dav after dav
with her head leaning upon her wast
ed hand, and eyes listless, seeing and
raring for little, in a world whoso sun
shine to her had len so darkly eclijw
ed. She sighed faintlv, but said little
or nothing. She was a sad wreck.
She knew she was living, and express
ed no thought o interest in anything
but her absent daughter.
One day she suddenly turned to a
youn friend and asked: "Do you
think mo a guilty woman?" nnd with
out waiting for au uuswer, she. went
on, "I wish to speak now while I can.
I was so shocked anl terrified at thai
horrible time that I did not know w lint
I said. But I a;n not guilty of anv
sin. Mr. Sickles was very violent 1
was afraid of him he brought me a
paper, w hich he said I must sign he
said he should lc hung if I did not
sign it. I never read one word of that
paper ; I did not know one word writ
ten in it. I put my name where he
told me, and to save his life."
She was sinking rapidly, and was
carried to her bed from her long faint
ing turn. As she opened hereyea, re
viving slowlv, they fell upon, the face
of Daniel fc. Sickles, painted and
framed, hanging before her. Lifting
her pale hand, she said: .
"Take itawav." .
s
Those about her remonstrated ; but
the second tm the third time she mur
mured:
-.dice it away. ...
The picturo was removed. "Now
place my daughter's face there," fche
said, with a wid smile. This was done,
and she gazed with a longing, wistful
ook upon the vounjr face, and sighed
heavily. The poor weary eyes closed,
and sho was gone to Him unto whom
is opened the secret of her heart.

"Dey Don't Dif Dat Way." The
comment' of a colored preacher on the
text, "It is more blessed to give than to
receive," is inimitable for its point as well
as
eloquence. "1 ve Known many

THE CI1I.YESU WIA.Vr.
All the men of big stature did not per
ish in the flood, although that forty day's
swept off the most of them. A veritable
lirohdingnag is in our midst to day.
Chang, the huge Chinaman, is here, and
is suffering the inconvencies of his bulky
greatness. The cars afford no room for
him to deposit his ample lumber regions
in. Chairs arc shaky props, beds there
are none to suport him, and, altogether,
ho.fiodi? New York, as bare of conven
ience for his comfort as Titabuctoo. Yes
terday orders wero given for a chair of
stout strength and immense size, and a
bed for the reception' of his " monstrous
limbs will be ready for the giant to-night.
Chang is a monster in flesh,' and a
giant in height, and has exhibited him
self in England and Paris: While in Eng.
land, at tho request of the Prince and
Princess of Wrnles, he visited tho Malbor
oush Houftc, and last year he was a guest
at the Tuilcrics.
The giant is eight fed eight inches in
hight, and is about twenty-fire years of
age. Ho isgrcd looking, and intelligent,
speaks English fluently, and is quite gab
lant in his way. Uo devotes all his ener
gy and most of his bnsiness time to the
careful investuro of his cumbrous body
in store clothes. Masftive chains make
arcs all aboat his body; what would
crush a pigmy to tlie earth hang like silk
en threads about his chest and girdle.
His feet are exaggerated beetle-crushers,
and the rest of his body is of proportioo
ate immensity. ;
Chang has a wife and two children, and
h said to be great in his affection toward
them. He calls his apouse his "pretty
Kin Foo," and though he flirts and phi-J
landers with all the" ladies, Kin Foo is no
way jealous, believing that a man of such j
inordinate size is excusable if he does
overrun with affection for another.
Chang's father is even taller than AAh
son, and there is a sister who exceeds him
in height a few inches. The sifter is mar
ried, and her husband will not suflcr her
to become the object of rude gaze. Chang
has been well educated, and belongs to a
fine family. His father is a wealthy tea
merchant in F-Chau. Tho Russian giant
Anak is the only man who has ever ap
peared that approaches Chang m height.
Hoth Anak and Chang were exhibited on
the continent together, and though Anak
wore a helmet with feathers, which made
hi m sccmot extraordinary height, Chan
without any such 'illusive accessory, ap
pcarcd tho taller man. A. WorM,

Xo young lady can be too wcll instruct
cd in anything which will affect the com
fort of a family. Whatever her position
i in society, &ne needs a practical kcowi
edge of household duties. She may be
plated in nuch circumstances that it will
not bo necessary for her to perform much
domestic labor; but on this account , she
needs n& less knowledge than if she were
obliged to preside personally over the
cooking-stove and pantrv. Indeed I have
often thought that it is more dfficult ja
direct other;, and requires more expr.ri.
ence, than to do the same work with our
own hands. Mothers are frequently so
nice and particular that they do not. lifc
to give up any part of their care o their
children. This is a great mistake iatheir
management, for they are often burdened
with lahor, and need relief. Children
should be early taught to mak themselves
nscM to assist their pare jta it every
way iu iticir puwer, sua io consider It aJ
privilege to dq so. '
