Xt Wits cu n "magnificent August ovon-
iug, in tho yew 18l3, if I ^member
rightly, when, returning from b, tour to
thoTannus, I found myself on the Castlo
Hill of Homburg, under tho Heights.
'i'ho sun waB just sinlung behind the
foothills of the "Old King," when,
turning my oyes from ita fading glories
to tho Wetteran, my ears were struck by
a sound of silver tones.
I wns lying in tho grass, behind a
jasmine bush, and was, therefore, concealed from tho view of two interesting
young girls, of about 14 aud 11 years,
elegantly and tastefully nttired, who sat
themselves down jusfc below me.
"Is this not entrancing, Maria?"
6i*iko the oldest, atall, blaclc-oyed beauty, to her younger sister, a slender, pale
child, who reminded mo of Murillo's angel faces. " Oh ! how I would like t«
roinain here in Hombnrg ! Neither iu
England, Prance, nor Spain did wo iind
it so beautiful."
_ '' You aro right,Theresa," answered the
little angel; "it is beautiful, and, dm-
ing tho last eighl days, I liave folt s ■
much better. The puro air on tho Blum
liills nnd tho magnificent scenery hav-
done mo good; but I am homesick—I
long for our beloved Saviglinna."
A. storm of tears followed these words,
spoken in a sobbing and painfully-agi-
inted manner.
"There, you are crying again, Marietta 1" exclaimed the older sis for, hall
teprovinfyt^and pressing her to hev
side. "Iu six or eight weeks you will
bo nt home. For two long years w.
havo endured the separation, have
longed for home, and never believed
Uiat we could live te see it a^ain, ami
now, almost on the «^jof departure, you
lament."
"I am very much afraid, Theresa
dear; I believe homesickness will consume me." sobbed the little one.
"You aro a dear child, Marietta,"
answered tlio older sister. "You will,
for my sake, conceal your sorrow. See'
WOniit it not grieve mo deeply if th.

"You sliall have ono littlo brother,

said Ephraim, as he passed tho button-
box baok to it« place. " Then can you

"No,  No,    said Marietta, eagerly,

gjjk A-ero perlmps attached to the cir-
p,» at that time performing in Frank-
iUrt, or were members of the ballet of
the Court Opt raof 'VN'ieHbaden, apjieared
doubtful. Tluir artless and elegant
costume bore, witness against it. If the
little one had not mentioned Saviglionn,
but, perhaps, Birmingham or Itonhaix
as their home, and if that word, the
pnbhc, had not fallen from their lips in
such a peculhr "i>regnant-with-fate"
manner, I would have found nothing remarkable about them. But Italians of
distinction are u rarity on the Bhine. I
had a conundrum before me.
" Look, Theresa I" said the little angel,
" there in the window hangs a harp."
I had approached the sisters when wo
reached the city so near that no word
was lost to me.
"Tliere. is, indeed," answered the
older; " but see ! there are also violins!
Let us go nearer,"
It was a small shop that I knew well,
in whoso two dirty show-windows cotton
goods, stationery) toys and musical instruments were displayed in artistic disorder.
Ephraim and Isidor Hirsch was tho
firm" Ephraim, tho older brother, had
inherited from his paternal sire the talent to buy and sell, nnd cultivated tho
|«jl)[K£in a moderate way. Isidor, on. tha
othcrliand, became a discixilo of art, and
had in the course of years advanced to
the position of a member of the orchestra in the Frankfurt Theater.
Ho was a musician—second violin—
always an unappreciated genius, and
had remained assistant to the first
violin desk until one evening his patience gave out. On tho following
morning he bade adieu to >jbe leader pf
tho orchestra and his artistic career.
"What for shall I let myself be
abused?" said Isidor Hirsch to liis companions; "can I not have it easier and
better? I will go to Ephraim." And
he weut. His brother received him
with open arms, and delivered to him
tho "Portfolio of Interior," tho "Books,"
while lie himself attended to the outside,
the "Business,"
"Ephraim, this I will tell you," began
Isidor. on the first dav of his entrance
into ttio business; "1 cannot be entirely untrue to art. From to-day the business must carry musical instruments."
"What shall I say to that?" answered
Ephraim, in the first ecstasy of brotherly feelings. " For your sake I will make
tho acquisition, but I shall have nothing
further to do with it. I have no knowledge of tho article."
As I passed the two sisters, the younger said, enthusiastically: "It is surely
a Cremonese, Theresa. Just look at the
high cover.   Let as enter."
I slipped into the Bhop; gavo the advancing Ephraim a confidential wink,
and stood aside to make room for the
Bisters.
"What will it please yon?" asked
Ephraim, with business zeal, and reaching for tho box containing buttons and
pins. Tourists always need buttons
wid pins,
"Wo would lilse to look at tho violin
ihat hangs there in the window," an-
Bweteii$e oldest, "nntl, pevliftps, bujr
"we wantto sea that particular ono that | prpacliing myself in my, Jhearl _for tho
hangs thero in tho cornor," "L     ''""' T "    '    J     '
"You will find tliat too dear, littlo
lady," answered Epliraim, in a fatherly
way. "Do you know that that is a
treasure? What do I say—-a treasure?
A orimo it is, by Isidor, that lio paid so
much for an old violin. Tho others aro
much better. $Hall I show yoii ono?
Five dollars apiece, all now and painted
a pretty red eolyr I They- aro very
pretty."
- " Como,, Marietta 1" said Theresa, in-
jMvtiV:\tly, .^lctTis
i,}Jt-i*l\l not -show it.' Isidor shall
show it to you. '•Isidor!'' ho callpd,
through a small window in the rear
floor—"Isidor, tho Oremoneso I" and,
turning toward us, he said, in a mixed
tone of vexation and rejoicing, nnd still
tyjag tlio sisters suspic'.ously: "I did
not think that Isidor woald win. Whon
ho broughtit and said tome : 'Ejihraim,
I have bought it, and tho man will come
for thu monoj1 this afternoon—it costs
3150!' No, wait a moment, I mistake, it
cost $250—what do I say ? Three hundred and fifty dollars I believe it cost.
Then I said:
" 'Isidor, what a fool you are ? Who
will buy it ? Wliere lies tho valuo ?
You are unpractical for tho business 1
You have been cheated !'
"Then ho swore, high and low, that
only an artist like himself could judge.
And when I said again, ' No ono will
inquire for it, no one will buy it,' then
lie bet mo §5 that ho would sell it in a
short time.
" If you buy it, then Isidor has won.
Shall I not show you the Oberlander,
the. pretty red ones, only ST) apiece ? "
In the meantime Isidor had entered
tho shop, and comprehended the situation at a glance.    He pushed his talka-

With an applause-thirsty gesture, he
iaid down thi- violin.
Po.ir L-idir! The public remained
quiet and unmoved. Theresa had smiled
and Marietta laughed aloud at the mi1-
chained strokes and unlucky passages,
whicli, however, Isidor had taken as
wigun of approval.
" I have not been ablo to form an
opinion on the quality of the tone,-'
said Theresa. '' Will you try the instrument once, Marietta? I will be ablo to
judge of the tone much bitter."
"How? What?" asked Ephraim,
astoui-ilu-d; " you are making fun. The
little lady already plavs the violin ? "
"Yes," amwered'iheresa, smiling;
"we both play a little."
" That is rifjlit," said Isidor, handing
the violin to the little oue with friendly
nod and encouraging look; " don't bo
bashful, and play us a piece."
Marietta silently took the instrument, and, placing herself in position,
began likewise with long strokes on the
open strings.
"Tho stroking is excellent," remarked Isidor, "youwill make a good
player; you have a good begin—"
There—what was that? Astonishment forced tlie words down Isidor's
throat.
With tho quickness of lightning, a
succession of the most brilliant, belllike tones, in chromatic order, staccato,
flew up into the fifth position, and ended tliere with a brilliant trill fully a
miiiuto long, which, first swelling,
sounded liko tho song of tho nightingale, and then, gradually decreasing,
ended in fairy-like flageolet tones.
Isidor stood there, eyes and moutli
wide open.
"Tho register is excellent, Marietta,"
said Theresa, joyfully, "but how is it
with the Cantilene, in the middle register ?"
Marietta again raised the bow, and an
extremely melancholy Gondoliora sounded forth from tho strings of tho old violin, in longing, sorrowful tones.
I leaned against tho wall, shut my
eyes, and forgot time, place and surroundings. I had heard Paganiui several times; he astonished mo—Iris art
dazzled me, but Marietta moved mo—
touched my heart.
Tho-intcnsity of my feelings brought
tears to my eyes.
Ephraim and Isidor Hirsch were
turned into otatues.
"The Cantilene is good also,'' said
tho unmoved young lady. " But now it
remains to try tho strength and intensity
of the tone. There, I will come to your
aid, my dear."
She took the violin, and what Isidor
had beforo remarked: " Does it not
sound like an organ ? " became verified.
Not in single tones; no, in fidl chords
flew the sounds froin the strings. .Not
sweet melodies was it tho bow enticed
from tho instrument—wilder, much
wilder than Isidor had ever conceived,
streamed the tone from the tyrannized
instrument. It was like the prelude to
a storm; and, as whipped by the furies,

Enblican party, In spito of tbe friction caused

Tbe Post remarks : "With tlio rosult bo far
as European powers aro interested in American
politics, we on this sido of tho Atlantic have
reason to bo satisfied. Whether a Republican
or a Democrat niles at Washington iB a matter
whioh now exclusively interests tho citizens of tho ropublio; nor la it probable oven
if tho twenty years of uninterrupted reign
ot tho Republican party bad beeu now
broken that tha relations subsisting botween tho United States and ourBoives

Tho Advertiser 8ay»: ''Wo cannot but regret tho rosult In tho first place thero is no

Garfield is third-rate Ropublican party politician, belonging not perhaps to tho school of
tho BloineB, Conklinga and Camerons, but quito
as littlo to that of tho reformers liko Adams or
administrators liko Sherman. Ho Is tho nominee of tho wire-pulling interest Hancock ia,
with fow exceptions, tho moat distinguished,
and, without a Binglo exception, wo behovo, tho
most loyal, honest, and liigh-minded soldier
Btlll in the activo service of tho Union."
Tho Standard says: "Tho administration of
Gon. Garfield is not likely to diller materially
in policy from that of Mr. Hayes. It is, indeed,
probabl'o enough tliat lho old Sonatorial ring
which was master of tho situation during Gon.
Grant's second Presidency, and which strove
hard to carry tho third-terra movoment to a
successful issuo, will bocomo moro powerful
than it has beon of lato, and will ouco moro
monopolize and employ for its own purposes
tho patronage of tbe Govornmont and its Executive influences."
Thc Fall Mall Gazette says : " lt would bo a
mistake to regard Gen. Garfield's election aB a
triumph of tuo politicians who brought discredit on Gen. Grant Tbo strong feeling ln
tho United States in favor of the honest and
patriotio policy of tho present Cabinot would
teach far less shrewd men than Geu. Garfield
to follow tho linoB laid down by Mr. Hayes.
For England tbo situation is Batiafactorjr, as it
resulted In a victory for lho party wliich is most
inclined to encourage satisfacto^r rotations ba-

Tho Daily JVetes SayB: "Tho Chances Beoin
to bo that during tlio noxt four years, contrary
to tho expectations of somo politicians, tho

If a person swallows any poison whatever, or has fallen into convulsions from
having overloaded the stomach, an instantaneous remedy, most eilicieut and
applicable in a largo number of cases, is
a heaping teaspoonful of common salt,
and as much ground mustard, stirred
rapidly in a teacupful of water, warm or
cold, and swallowed instantly. It is
scarcely down before it begins to come
up, bringing with it the remaining contents of the stomach; and, lest there bo

small, let tho white of an egg or a teaspoonful of strong coffee bo swallowed ns
soon as tho stomach is quiot, beeauBe

Dn. Sydney Binder calls tho attention of the medical profession to the
value of glycerine as a remedy iu flatulence, acidity of tho stomach, and
pyrosis. He. states that sometimes he
finds all of these gastric troubles combined, but glycerine in nearly all cases
relieves them. In some cases, too, it
removes paiu and vomiting, probably,
liko charcoal, by preventing the formation of aeridacids, which irritate delicato
ond irritable stomachs. Glycerine does
not prevent the digestive action of pepsins and hydrochloric acid ; and hence,
while it prevents the formation of wind
and acidity, probably by checking the
fermentation, it in no way hinders digestion. He administers a drachm or
two either before, with or -immediately
after food. It may be given iu water,
coffee, tea or lemon and soda water. Iu
tea mid coffee it may replace sngar, a
substanco which greatly favors llatu-
lenee, ns indeed does tea in many cases.
Iu soma cases a cure does not occur till

consumption. Chocolate, ho suj-b, from
its largo proportion of albumen, is tho
most nutritive beverage, but at the same
time, from its quantity of fat, tho most
difficult to digest. Its aromatic substances, however, strengthen tho digestion. A cup of chocolate is an excellent
restorative aud invigorating oven for
weak persons, provided their digestive
organs nro not too delicate. Cardinal
Richelieu attributed to cliocolate his
health and hilarity during his later
yoars. Tea and coffee do not afford this
advantage. Albumen in tea leaves, and
legumiu in coffee berries, aro represented
in very scanty proportions. Tlio praise
of tea aud coffee as nutritive substances
is, therefore, hardly warranted. Tea
and coffee, though of themselves not
difficult of digestion, tend to disturb the
digestion of albuminous substances by
precipitating them from their dissolved
state. Milk, therefore, if mixed with tea
or coffee, is moro difficult of digestion
than if taken alone, and coffee alone
without cream promotes digestion after
dinner by increasing of tlio dissolving
juices. The volatile oil of coffee and the
enijiyreumatic and aromatic matters of
chocoalato accelerate tho circulation,
wliich, on the other hand is calmed by
tea. Tea and coffee both excite tho activity of the brain and nerves. Tea, it
is said, increases thc power of digesting
the impressions we havo received, creates
a thorough meditation, and, in spite of
tho movements of thoughts, permits the
attention to be fixed on a certain subject
On tho other hand, if tea is taken in excess, it causes an increased irritability of
tho nerves, characterized by sleeplessness, with a general feeling of restlessness and trembling of the limbs. Coffee,
also, if taken in oxcess, prodnces sleeplessness and manybanefid effects very
similar to those arising from tea-drinking. Coffee, however, produces greater
excitement, and a sensation of restlessness and heat ensues. For throwing off
this condition fresh air is tho bost antidote.

The actiyo clerk shows all the goods

Gcn Hancock was asked by a Now York reporter whnt ho thought of Uio result of tha
election.
" It would," ho replied, "reqniro too milch
space to print all my thoughis. Therefore, I
will content myself with saying that personally
I do not fool badly because I ara not elected.
Of course, I regret that the. Democratio party,
of which I am proud to bo a member, has been
defeated. It is a grcatiUsappoihtment to all of

" Certainly not my friends, and it was perfectly natural Ihat my political opponents shoiild

"But, General, somo of your friends have

" Oh, nover mind," interrupted Gon. Hancock, "tlio campaign is over, anl the true

"Itii c aimed on your behalf. Genoral, that,

A gonial clerk, a man who is too good
for his position aud a positive addition to
a well-regida'ted establishment. Ouo
clerk of this sort is worth a whole store
full of average clerks. He sells goods
beforo you know you have bought them.
'J ho genuine business man sometimes
begins life as a clerk, but he pushes out
of the position in an amazing hurry.
The lady clerk: tyho wonld be so un-
gallant as to say sho is not interesting?
She. is. Gentlemen always liko to trado
at the counter where sho presides, aud
she is usually assigned to a department
whero thoy aro sure to come ou lif tie errands. Ladies, on the contraiy, do not
like to purchase of her, aud it is noticeable that she is seldom in the dress goods
department.
There are a great many variety of
clerks—drug clerks, grocery clerks, and
ten thousand others. They aro the ornamental and somewhat useful mile-posts
on the highway of business. They seein
to be a necessity, but why ihey should
carry the world in its entirety on their
shoulders, aud superintend the progress
of tho planets in their orbits, is a mystery. But thoy all do it; or, at least
think they do.
Changes of Life.
Change is tlio common feature of society—of all lifo.
The world is liko a magic lantern, or
the shifting scenes of a panorama. Ten
years convert the population of schools
iuto men and women, tlio yonng iuto
fathers and matrons, make and mar fortunes, and bury tho last generation but
oue.
Twenty yenrs convert infants into
lovers, fathers and mothers, decido men's
fortunes and distictions, convert activo
men and women into crawling drivelers,
and bury all preceding generations.
Thirty years raiso an activo generation
from nonentity, change fascinating beauties into bearable old women, convert
lovers into grandfathers and graud-
mothers, and bury tho activo generation,
or reduco them to decrepitude and imbecility.
nll society. Infants nro growing old, VhhZ^
bloom of youth and beauty has passed
away, two activo generations havo been
swept from the stage of life, names onco
cherished aro forgotten, unsuspected candidates for fame havo started from tho
exhaustless womb of nature.
And in fifty years—mature, ripo fifty
years—a half century—what tremendous
changes occur. How Time writes her
sublime wrinkles everywhere, in rock,
river, forest, cities, hamlets, villages, in
tho nature of man and the destinies and
aspects of all civilized society.
Let us pass on to eighty years—and
what do wo desire and see to comfort us
in the world 1 Our parents ore gone,
our children havo passed away from us
into all parts of the world to fight tho
grim and desperate battlo of life. Our
old friends—whero are thoy? Wo behold
a world of which wo know nothing and
to which we nre unknown. We weep for
the generations long since gone by—for
lovers, for parents, for children, for
friends in tho grave. Wo see everything
turned upside down by the fickle hand of
fortuno and the absolute despotism of
time. In a word, we behold the vanity
of life, and aro quite ready to lay down
the poor burden and be gone.
Paying for His IVhistle.
Not many years ago, when a lofty
building was on tho point_of completion,
the mason was in the habit of whistling
to tho laborer who attended him whenever he wanted a fresh supply of lime,
and, as the scaffold on which he wrought

was rather small, this occurred very
often during a day s job. A joiner, who
was fitting in a window immediately underneath, noticing Pat answer dutifully
to every call from the mason, thought of
playing a trick on liim by imitating the
whistle, and thus brought him up with
a hodftil of lime when there was no room
for it. The mason told Pat that ho had
nofc whistled, so he had no other alternative than to trudge back with his
load. Tliis liaving occurred the third
time during tho day, Pat thought he
would watch to hear where the whistle
eame from.
He had nofc waited long with the hod
on his shoulder when ho heard tho identical whistle underneath where he stood,
and, leaning over, he saw tlie head of
the joiner protruding out of the window
immediately below. Pat, without moro
ado, emptied tho hod right over tho
whistler's head. The joiner yelled and
sputtered while attempting to clear himself from the adhesive mass; and, in tho
midst of his confusion, heard Paddy .
above shouting afc the top of his voice:
"Whistle w-hen you want some more
mortar."	
The Old Songs.
In the old songs thero was invariably a
display of workmanship of a respectable
Hnd, and occasionally the skill of the
writer rose above the respectable levol,
whilo in a literary Behso the new songs
aro for tho most part contemptible. If
tho texture of those now silent ditfies
was occasionally coarse, ifc Was ontirely
free from ail unwholesome savor. Tho
fun iu them was the rough fan of back-
slapping, rib-punching farces of tho
period. Robust, and not seldom clumsy,
humor, but—unquestionably humble,
"John Jonos," "The Burial Club," "Tho
Cork Leg," "Never buy Tripe ou a Priday," and many other unctuous tol-de-
rol ditties whose titles do not readily
recur—they are in the memory locked,
bufc tho key is for the moment mislaid—
served as a lyrical safety-valve for tho
boisterous animal spirits of tho limo, the
like of whicli Wo aro unhappily not provided with in tlie year lSW.—Tinstey's
Magazine.
