Then she sat silent awhile. When she spoke again, her blue eyes were looking across the wheat fields to the distant line of hills. “Mother,” she said softly, “I have decided a question whieh has troubled me very much lately. A wav off be­ yond those hills lie tin- battle-fields and the camps where our wounded men are lying, dying day after day because there are so few to nurse them back to life. You have my sisters here, I can be of so little use to you or them, and it is mv dutv to go and do what I can for our soldiers. Do not try to dissuade me,” as they started up in surprise and horror. “My mind is made up to do this thing, and I must go. I have written to one of the nurses, and she tells me gladly to go. You can not miss me, and perhaps as there are so few there, I can be of some little serv­ ice.” And so she went; unclasping the clinging fingers of thechildren, smilirg >ack at the group gathered on the rose- wined piazza of the time-worn home­ stead, over whose threshold her light feet had so often passed and so gaily. How strange the old home seemed without her! How plainly the big rooms told of the absence of a small, gentle woman, whose voice and eyes aot being there, left so little music and sunshine. “Yet," they said, comforting one another, “Hope was so helpless and weak, she surely can not stand the strain on her strength, or be of any use there in the hospital tents on the battle field, and will soon return,” But the days and weeks went by and still Hope Harris did not return, worn and weary, to the old farm-house, as her parents and sisters and friends ex­ pected. Instead, she flitted in and out, to and fro, among the soldiers lying helpless upon the rude beds; like an angel of mercy, with eyes like the skies, and hair like stray gleams of sunshine. She grew brave in the midst of danger. Her real womanlv nature asserted itself as she ministered to the wounded and dying. There she found her work which had slipped past her at home. Her hands were small, perhaps, and slender, but strength lay under the delicate bine-veined flesh, while there reposed in the dainty finger-tips a magic power that charmed away many a headache from broad, manly brows. A woman’s hand is an exquisite poem, with rare, sweet rhythm in curves and lines. The hands of Hope Harris were small and womanly, but the work they ac­ complished was a wonderful work. Two sturdy young men were wounded and brought to the tents one day, the one with his right leg gone, the other minus his left arm. A nurse was needed. The surgeon called for Nurse Harris, and without one word of warning or preparation, little Hope, white-faced, but steady, bent over the bedside where lay broad- shouldered John. “Hope!” he cried, amazed, starting up only to fall back helpless among the pillows, the red blood staining the torn blue sleeve, while Hope, her lips trem­ bling, but with steady hands, helped the surgeon in his work of dressing the terrible wound. And when that was I finished and the big fellow lying quiet, they went to the other poor soldier, and up into Hope’s set face looked the bonnie blue eyes and features, stern from pain—of him who had been his mother’s pride and darling—glad- hearted. mischief-loving Jim! The surgeon said afterward that he wondered how she stood it, so dainty and so small she looked, bending above the painfully set face of the man lying helpless before her. and added, as he brushed something from his eyes, that the hungry look on the big fellow's face as she leaned down to him was enough to make the hardest heart ache. But the recovery of the two young fellows, he said, was en­ tirely due to the untiring care of the gentle nurse. While away off in the farm-house Hope was blessed with tears and prayers for the good that she had done. And when the battle was over and al 1 met around the hearthstone in the big homestead, bound in rose vines, the hearts of each and all s elled with un­ utterable love and gratitude to the small, gplden-haired, blue-eyed little lady, who ever afterward was tenderly cherished as “our Hope,” to never again be “only Hope!”— F.

No feature of tb> plans for the gie-'t jxposition of 18X9 is so much talk« d about, as the gigantic tower, one thou­ sand feet high, or twice the height ■ t the pyramids of Egypt, designed ly M. Eifl'el, engineer of the Department of Arts and Manufactures, to decorate the Champs de Mars. As the workmen will soon begin dig­ ging the foundations of this tow< r, a description of the plan will be of interest. The base of iron is composed of four pyramids, each one square, fifty fc t a side, and diminishing towards the to i, which is twenty feet a side. These four pyramids are separated from each oth r by a space of three hundred feet, ai 1 for stability they are anchored in solid masonry. Two hundred and thiriv feet above the ground these pyramids are united by a gallery fifty feet wid •. This gallery, whieh is covered with glass, will be used for restaurants, soirees, e: The next story has a room, covered u tn glass, one hundred feet square. At the summit is a glass dome, with terrace, and from this terrace the exposition w ill be lighted by electricity. the dome hv Visitors will reach re...'.. *' J means of elevators, Four of the e elevators, constructed like the Sw «s railways, will be placed in tho four pyr­ amids, and we can go seven times as high as the Column Vendome and stand six hundred feet higher than the top of Mont Valerien. The eyes can sweep the horizon for a hundred miles, and Compiegne, Rheims, Fontainebleau, Chartres, Dijon, with the little village« lost in the woods, and the rivers, wan­ dering through the valleys, will all seem a continuation of Paris. Ten depart­ ments ot France will be at our feet. There have been no accidents with this system of railway, because the car is drawn by a cable and the axle attached to a steel hook, so if the cable breaks the car remains fastened to this hook. That is the system for the elevators,and in addition to the four placed in the pyramids, a fifth will take visitors from the center directly to the summit. In the cupola astronomers will be established with their telescopes, pluriometres. etc. This observatory, fitted with a metallic armature.destined to receive all the atmospheric electricity, which will be surrounded by a paraton- nerre. Experiments heretofore impos­ sible can be made here; atmospheric electricity, speed of the wind, Fone- aults experiment to demonstrate that the earth revolves, all can be studied. Spectroscopes, destined to analyze the light of the sun and stars, and an enormous telescope, to follow stars which could hardly be perceived from the other observatories, will be placed in this cupola. Another interesting study will lie that of the variat on of temperature, with altitude. The tower will form an immense paratonnerre, and when there is a storm everybody in tlie tower will be struck by lightning and not feel any cfl'ect To produce this result the conductor will tie inter­ rupted for a distance of two yards and the lightning will jump from one sec­ tion to the other, with continual ex­ plosions. The iron used in the construction of this gigantic monument will weigh about 7,(XXI tons. Of course the critics are very busy prophesying the failure of the work. "Tlie tower will never he finished; it can not be scientifically util­ ized, for at the slightest wind there will be an oscillation preventing all observa­ tions.” M. Eifl'el answers by saying that, with an impetuous wind of seven­ ty feet a second and a pressure of a hundred pounds on every sipiare yard, the tower will not sway more than four liiebes. Wiih a tempest—the wind a hundred feet a second and a pressure of one hundred and fifty pounds a yard — the oscillation will not be more than six inches. The oscillations will be very s’ow because of the great length of the part which vibrates, and it is cert a n that it will be much leas than in columns of masonry, where the elasticity of tLe mortar is the chief cause of m rke I os­ cillations.

NO. 30 HENRY CLAY. The Great Orator’s formal Farewell Speech iu the Senate. Henry (.'lay rose in the Senate on the 31st of March, 1M2, to make his fare­ well speech in a ehanibe, which lie had entered forty-two years previoti ly, although lie had not Iwen in Continuous service since then. The Senate chain bar presented a magnificent spectacle, perhaps, upon the whole, a .more brilliant one than had ever before been exhibited there. Every sent was filled, and ev.-ry avenue approaching the chamber blocked up. Two hoursb fore Mr. Clay began to sp nk. an exit or an entrance were equally impossible to those within or without. Perhaps so limited a space was never so well idle I. The gentlemen tilled the straight gallery, which was better known as “the Calcutta black hole,” to its utmost capacity. The railings of the seats, and the seats th< m-clvea were all crowded, and the people seemed to bo literally piled on» upon another. Th.' lad es’ gallery was filleilalinostentire.y with ladies, and the circle there pr - sonted as much of grace, elegance mid dignity as ever adorned any publ c assembly. It was a scene which might well have called forth the admiration of the sterner and the conrsrsex below and around. The chamber, before. Mr. Clay rose, was literally wreathed in smiles and beauty, ami it was a scene beautiful to look upon, until the event which had called so many together took place, in the earnest, sweet-spoken final farewell, whieh came from tho lips of the orator and reached every heart Along tho central entrance to the chamber the crowd was qnally dense, and upon either side aere, though far out of sight, and out of hearing, too, ladies were seated, all anxious to catch atone of a voice wlii< h for so many years had always told like the sweetest notes of the lark in the ears of the whole, female sex. Senators of all parties gave the most respectful attention, while the representatives flocked in from the House and occupied the privileged scats round about the chamber. Then came the address for it was more of an addre-s than aspeec i — the published report of which is only the body of a beautiful oration without the soul. The spirit whieh kindled, the fire which burned, are not there. Words are as cold as marble without the divine afflatus which could almost give life and action to the dead. The picture presented in such a congrega­ tion of people was not onlvfair enough tnd perfect enough in all its propor­ tions to charm tlie eye, but it was a scene which might have given, either in the sympathy created or the pride excited, a feeling but little less than one ins; ¡red. The ladies, who were all hope and buoyan y a moment before, were now, “like Niobe, all tears.” Mr. Clay in speaking of himself, of his friends, of the noble State of Kentucky where lie had been received as a son forty-live years since, was himself quite unmanned. Others were much more af­ fected. and many of the old st Sennt< rs were in tears many times while Mr, Clay was speaking. Mr. Clay left the storm and turmoil of public life, as Im thought forever, with an enviable rep­ utation for statesmanship, for patriot­ ism and for eloquence, and his last act was to present the credentials of .Mr. Crittenden as his successor, and to speak of him in the most excellent terms. Seven years later Mr. Clay re­ turned to the Senate and served until ie died. — Rea: Perley Poore, in Boston Budget. FRONTIER LAW. « How Jiulgr Mujfglna Decided a Very I’u».- xllng «Mule Case.
