There ras a fair (rrecn parden sloping' From 'the southeast aide of a mountain ledge. And the earliest tints of the dawn came j-Top-Ing-Down through its paths from the day's dim edfjrt. Tho Muest kies and the reddest roses Arched and varied its velvet sod. And the glad birds sang as the soul supposes The angels sing on the hills of GoJ. I trandered there when my veins seemed bursting ....... With life's rare rapture and keen delight. And yet in my heart was a constant thirsting For something o er the mountain height. I wanted to stand in tha blaze of splendor That turned to crimson Jlie peaks of snow; And the winds from the west all breathed a story , . . Of realms and regions I longed to know. J paw on the garden's smith side growing The brightest blossoms that breathe or June; I saw on the east how the sun was glowing And the gold air sbaok with a wild bird s tune. , , Iheaitl the drip of a silver fountain. And the pulse of a young laugh throbbed with glee. But still I looked out over the mountain Where unnamed wonders awaited me. 1 name at last to the western gateway That led to the path I longed to climb. But a shadow fell on my spirit straightway. For elo-,o lit m v fide stood graybeard Time. I pans -d with feet that weie fain to linger Hani by t at narden's irolden gate; But Time spoke, pointing with one stern linger; "Puss out" he said, "for the day grow late." And now, on the chill gray cliffs I wander. The h'-tebts recede which I thought to find. And lb..- light seems dim .on the mountain yonder Wl en I think or the garden I left behind. Bhi.uld 1 stand at last in its summit's splendor, i know lull well It would not repay For itie Mir lost tints of the dawns so tender That crept up over the edge o" day. I would go back, but the days are winding It ways then are to that land In sooth. For whit man ever succeeds In tin ding A path to the garden of his lost youth? But I think sometimes when tho June stars glisten That a ro-e-scent drifts from far away. And I know when I lean from the clitfs and litttfll That a young laugh breaks on the air like bpray- Etla WtiCder, in Our Continent. A WEDDING-DAY WITHOUT A WED DING. It was the evening of Caleb Pollard's golden wedding, and the family, to the third and fourth generation, were as sembled in honor of the event. " This makes a good many weddin days we've seen me "n the old 'oman there." said Caleb from his own par ticular ehimney-eoruer, where he sat in. state with his "youngest grandchild on one knee and his oldest great-grandchild on the other " besides one," he added, "when there waVt no wed dinV ' A wedding-day without a wedding, grandpa?" spoke up Polly Petligrew irom a game of romps she and a flock of frolicksome cousins were organizing on the outskirts of the scdater circle drawn round the spacious, old-fashioned tire place "how could that be? it doesn't stand to reason." Ask rr:in'ni:i ." ronlip.il Caleb, with a quizzical smile, and a wave of his pipe- j stem toward the opposite corner where dame Janet, his white-haired partner through fifty years of joy and sorrow, at beaming through her .spectacles, her restless withered hands betokening how much they missed the accustomed knitting laid aside in deference to the occasion. " Pray do, Caleb," begged Grandma Janet, find something else to talk about-1' Pray don't, grandpa." persisted Poll v "it's the ery thing 1 want to hear." Polly's motion was seconded and car ried without division. 1 won't go 1 a-k to my courtin' days," began Grandfather Caleb, "an' tell how 1 cut out all t'other fallows, an got excepted by the hauVomest gal in " " Law, Caleb!" interrupted Dame Janet, blushing as she might have done at seventeen, " how you do talk!" "Well, you needn't color up so," Caleb answered "How d'ye know it's you 1 in talkin' about?" Having reduced the good dame to si lence by thus turning the laugh on her, the old gentleman proceeded: I've .-aid I wouldn't dwell onto the courliu' part, o 1 11 jest come down to mmu pan -o x u je.-t come uusoiu the day sot for niy weddin will the haif somest jral. as I was remarkin' - V. . 1 - . .1.

I re member, late one niht .n the fall of 1866, Artemus. dear 1 ttle Jeff Prowse and my humble self were left alone in the club room at Ashlo.'s. Arteuiut proposed an adjournment to the Al hambra. Prowse and self joyfulh as sented. Artemus asked Jeff to charier a cab. The vehicle soon drew up It was a clear night, and the hotel and street lamps shed a bright l'ght. wh eh gave us a full view of the driver's ace. He was grave and stolid-looking, anil ver- evidently self-pos-ese I. Artemus seemed to study the mau s features for a brief moment; theu he intimated to me in a wh.sper that he was going to have a lark w'th 'cabby. Assuming a grave air. which sat so marvelously well on his face, he addressed the man in slow, measured accents. "M' friend." he said, "you look to me a man of thought aud exj er'enee. in fact, the veiy man likelv to decide a mo-t im portant aid most difficult question which has ar'sen between me and my fr.end there, ' pointing to Jeff, who looked slightU puzzled "Do vou take me? Will 3'ou be arbiter between us?" Cabb looked so dubious at first that I thought he was go'ng to say '"('am nion." or "Shut up,' or something of the sort However, so wondrously iu tent did Artemus look, and so supernal-l- grave was his manner that the mail's suspicions faded away from his face as snow will under a hot sun. He gave a half-grunt, then said briefly: "Fire awa3 guv'nor, let's know wat's all about." "Well," responded Artemus, with slow delibcrateuess, weighing eery word, apparently: "Well, look 3'e here, now, my friend; that gentleman there" pointing again to Jell Prowse. who, not knowing exactly how Charlej' might choose to compromise him with a niahap irate Jehu, began to give slight signs of feeling rather uncom'ort ible " maintains that there is the divergence of contradictory opinions, which in tho natural logical sequence of reasoning, and in the inferential conclusions of ar gumentation, must in the final end in evitably lead to convergence, and con cord and harmony among people, and bring about that most devoutly-wished-for consummation when mau to man the world all o'er, shall brethren be and a' that. I tmst 3011 follow me, my friend!" "1 follow you, guv'nor; lire awa3" said cabby, briefly, who ev idenll was not quite" clear etwhat it all could possibly be about "Now, you see, my uood fellow," pursued Arte mus, with increased iutentness of face , and graver ponderousness of manner ami diction, " I, on the other part, assert, and I mean to stick lo it, too, let gainsa- who may" - with a ferocious j glaie our wa3" "that it is contrariwise ' and opposite, the convergence of con current, concordant and coincident opinions that must nevitabh' in its cor- I ollar3" and concomitant consequen tial train of its outcoming results lead to divergencies, diilicuit'es and di Terences" raising his voice to a higher pitch, andfnintically sawingand beating the air with his outstretched right arm "which will make one man jump at another's throat and strive to strangle him to death!" Then he pro ceeded, more quieth-: "Now, my lriend you cannot but admit that I have placed the case fairby before o't. Now, please, give us your decision " Cabby, who had apparentH' listened with much serious attention to this rig marole, bent his head on one side, and with one eye shut, gave Artemus the benefit f an inimitably droll look. Then he proceeded with gravity of manner equal to Ward's and still more ponder ous slowness of enunciation, to deliver him-elf of the following oracul r de cision, which would have done honor to great Busb himself: "Well, guv'nor. it is a knott3 pint and a 'ard nut to crack for the l;kes o' me; seeiu' as there is a great deal to be said on both sides: and don't ye think, now, guv'nor, it's ravther a diy question to settle?

"You shall have your liquor, c:bby. Drive on." lteminis cenccs of an Old Bohemian. Egg-Candling. An odd trade is that of the egg-cau-dler. One having been advertised for a few d.iys ago, a Tribune reporter to whom the word "candler" was full of nryste y, took the liberty of calling upoifthe advertiser for an explanation. Thither the repor.er went, and in the shadow of a huge bank of egg-cases on the side-walk discovered a j assage-way labeled "Butter" which led into the basement of the building designated. Entering, the reporter found himself iu a small apartment, which may be truth fully said to be the fullest apartment he ever entered. The space occupied b3 two 3'oung men, aud innumerable egg cases, was tilled with a stench so thick that the reporter felt like lUtting oil' a chunk of it and beating it away as a tro, hi. But as nothing save " hen fruit" was vis'ble, he was. con-trained instead to inquire if poults-cholera was prevalent just at present. One oi the young men tumbled off the pile of cases on which he was reclining, and alter rolling over the floor with laughter two or three times, arose aud said, quieth: "No; I guess the hens are all we'll." After a few words of ex planation as to the nature of the all, the young man kindly con-ented to give an exhibition of egg-candling, and led the wa3. Going up to a dirt'-look-m' patch on the wall, he drew aside an ol3 gray anm blanket, disc'osing a lighted interior beyond. He ieal ized the effect, for ho sto ped long enough on the threshold to saT "Oh! come in. This ain't 110 trap; its the candling-room." The apart ment was found to be about seven b3' three feet, and upon a bench at one end were three open egg-cases. A small metallic oil-lamp was attached by a wooden fixture to the farther end of the middle box. This furnished the only light iu the room. The candler wal' edup to the bench with a watch-nie-juggle-them air, and. turning back Ins shirt-sleeves, plunged both hands into the middle box, and suddenly brought forth four "chicken-buds." W-th the thumb and fore-linger of each hand the uppermost eggs wr re caught up nd held lor an instant only in front of the flame There was a convulsive 1 movement of the hands, and, with all the dexterity of a slight-of-hand per former, the uppermost eg had given nlm.o tr. tlm ntlior twn. jinn wera heinor more carefully examined belore the light. "There," said the candler, de signating an egg With a clear, transpa rent shell, and a vividly rosy light showing through it, " tl at is strictly a fresh egg. 1 put that iu the right-hand box, which is intended for the New York market. This one is not quite so fresh, but it will do. This, you see, is spotted; that's where the yelk has fast ened to the shell because the egg laid too long in one position. It is not a bad egg, however, though it niaA be slightly stale, and I put it into the left hand case, which Is intended for the Chicago market, and is likely to be speedily sold. There is nothing appar ent' wrong with this fourth egg, save that its yelk is broken. A housekeeper might not like it, but it is a good baker's eS'" "Why are all the first-class eggs shipped to New York?" inquired the re porter. "Simply because they keep longest, and are longest in finding their way into the consumer's hands. An egg which is perfectly good in Chicago to- day might not be good ten lajs hence in "New" Vo k." The caudler proceeded with his work at a truly remarkable rate of speed, stopping only now and then to point 1 out thclieculiarto' of an e 'g which had lecn kejt in too warm, cold, or damp a place. oV had been subjected to some sort of preserving process while 3 et in the h:r ds of the farmer. So deft was he in his business that the eggs, as ha shuttled them to an I fro, seldom or nev er louche ! each o her. and as for break ing one, that is something a candler very rarely doos Suddenly he paused over one which plainly showed the ori-1 gin of the term "chi ken-bud." 1 " T nit is a irood eg"; for a restaurant ' man," suggested tne reporter. "Why?" " Why, he an charge spring chickea pr'ces for it" Again the candler wentoffinto a con vulsTou of .aughter. It was evident that though he might know stale old e.gs when he saw them, he did not know eqirilli stale old jokes when he hoard them This eg found a re-ting-place among others iu a la-'gc hue et. and during the interview the caudler biH.ed himself in po nting out monstros.ties in the eggs which he had thrown aside as worthless. Ver3 many of these had really been laid b3' hens that were not we'l, and all sorts of peculiarities were visible in the "fruit" The candler's pay is uniformly ten cents per cae of thirty-six doi.cn, and an adept at the business can make three dollars per day easily, and more by working oveitime. Several olher candling rooms were visited, and eaudlers of various degrees of proficiency were conversed with. Said one: "Kggs are a good deal like fruit. A damp, foul atmosphere and extremes of heat or cold affect them as quickly and as seriousfy as fine fruit Tho shell of an egg is exceedinglv porus. and when the place of storage is too warm and dry the albumen evapor ates, and when too cold and damp the egg .seem to lose its vitality aud rapidly becomes stale. The porous shell also admits of absorption, and in niy opinion a single rotten egg. the shell of which happens to be broken or cracked, will contaminate whole dozens of egg m the same case. Any experienced caudler will, I think, tell 3ou the same thing. The present system of eg'g-carriage, which was designed simply to prevent breakage, has done a great deal to improve the market quality of eggs. They do not come into contact wiili each other, and after thev are once packed no amount ol knocking about will addle them." "There doe- not seem to be much ex cuse then for the grocer who sells bad egg among good ones?" "I here is no evctise at all. If he pays the market price, and buys ol some reliable commission man, "there cau be no excuse. The candler has be come a necessity to the egg trade, and if he is a competent man at his business he cau read an egg as 3-011 would a book. Candling costs but ten cents a case of tlfrty-six docn now what ex cuse can there be for the merchant who refuses to have his eggs candled? He is dishonest, and means to sell rotten eggs, and grocers should avoid him as the3 would any other swindler." Just then an order came in for one dozen cases for the New York market, and the candler was obliged to quit talking and go lo work. Cliicaijo Trib une. Snow Round in Switzerland. Owing to the weather (Septem er 22). the stale of Central Europe is in a more melancholy condition than it has been for many years. The whole of Northern Italy is more or less under water, the Simplon and Splugen are blocked by the snow that has fallen, and the latter lies a foot deep in all the Swiss cantons, excepting 01113- those of Vaud and Geneva. Travelers intend ing to go over the former pass irom Switzerland to Italy ha.e, on arriving at Visp and Brigue, been told that there is no longer a 3 possibility of their ciossingit this year, and have been forced to discharge their tra eling-car-riages, and take the railway to uloz, and thence accomplish thu journey by way of the Mount ( enis. One l'ngli-h gentleman and his wife, who had in tended crossing the Simplon last week, were resolved to go over it if possible, and In means of a heavy payment in duced their vetturino lo attempt the pas sage from the Swiss side. They got as far as the fourth "refuge," when it was found absolutely impossible to proceed any further, or, "what was still worse, to return 10 the starting-point In these cir.unilunces they were forced to re main in their carriage for three days, and to sulxist on what food and wine they had with them; and on the fourth day, when at their lat resource, to de scend on foot, at considerable ri3k, to Brigue. Meanwhile, the amount of misery and loss that has been entailed by the month of rain (ami that the harvc-t month) is incalculable. The cattle sire h ing dead on the hills, the wine crop immediately north and :outh of the Alps will have no a-liial existence this year, and'what would have been the winter's hay is in jured beneath the uow. Wolves have appeared on tha outskirts of severa. Swiss towns, and bears (small and not formidable 1 are reported in the Enga dine. In the Tyrol things are as bad, if not worse. At Intispruck and in the Pusterthal people who have been caught there are prevented from leaving. The trains have almost entirely ceased to run, and several bridges have ben carried away by the floods. At Bru lieck even worse than this has occurred, as houses have had their foundations washed aw.i3, ami the little town of Trent is entirely under water. At the last moment came the o3ful tidings that the eighty snow-bound and impris oned visitors to Zermall have seen a rift of bluo sky in the clouds above them, and that, before long, they hope to be anie to struggle across the St. Nicholas Pass to the valais and freedom.

At the main guard-room he was told that he could not be taken in; he must g ve himself up to the police. So he started toward London again, meeting a constable i 1 Lewisham road, who told him: "You're no use to me, an3'w:iy, now."

Republican states that a Baptist pastor in New Brit ain, Conn., while preaching on a recent Sunday in his own pulpit, had among his attentive hearers some in the lormer citj'. forty miles distant from his church. The telephone carried the wonts faith fully, apparently doing ju-tice to the excellent elocution and articulation of the preacher The sermon was a forci ble, earliest plea for righteous living. A few days since a pupil in tho State Normal school at Castleton, Vt., was discovered to bo crying very hard. Inquiry b3 the principal elicited the fact that tile girl had just received a letter stating that her sister Mary was dead. School was stoppeil and pra3er was of fered. A second perusal of" the letter showed that the g'rl was mistaken: that it was not s'ster Mary, but a favorite fami'y horse named Mary that was dead. Then thanks were ottered that the news was no worse. Iu a lecture at Boston Mr. Parton said that at Eton College.

Royal cardinal is the favorite color for children's dresses. The Olengarry cap .of bright scarlet wool is worn alike b3 boys and girls. Raised t'owers in ehvt. upon grounds of Ottoman or re ped silk, are the most eosthy aud elegant brocades now im ported. Basques of terra-cotta cashmere aru much worn over black velvet skirts. Velvets, satin rhadames, corded silk. Irish poplin aud cashmere will be iu high vogue for fall and winter wear. The first-named fabrics, for evening dress, are shown in all th delicate tints of pale pink, Persian maiie. ciel blue, cream color aud sea green. Jackets and basques of every descrip tion ami color are worn over skirts of a contrasting material. The -hat es are varied, and are in t'les suitable to ev en age. They are invariably close-fitting, are cut with a narrow collar, and button straight down the front. Stripes are as fashionable as ever in all classes of material, and, used in combination with plain fabrics, are very effective, especially in rich India silk materials. Scarf draperies of soft striped surahs and satins are much worn, and if well chosen can accompa ny seteral diflerent dresse. Plastrons, revers, collars and culls, edged with colored Spanish lace matching one of the colors of the stripes, preferably dark green, should be worn to match. These also can be transferred from one dress to another. The added basque, so long a feature of modern dressmaking is losing its popularity. The most fa.-hionaiIe jack et bodiesare cut in one. Main 01 these open over waist oats of contrasting materials; otherwise the gilet ma3 be of velvet, silk or satin to correspond with the dress itself. The basque is often excessively short, with battlements that is, square tabs cut up to the waist line, representing the part of the bodice which is so stylish. When deeper, the basque is sometimes simply Vamlyked, the points being exceedingly sharp, and not cut up to the waist, as in the above case. This st3le looks best when mixed materials are used in combination. Bonnets and round hats are exhibit ed in a great variety of novel shapes, from the graceful and elegant to the ex aggerateu ami grotesque st3les, which are wilder than ever this season; for in stance, a formidable looking, irregular shaped bonnet is known as the "ele phant's ear," a side view of this ugly head gear resembliug an elephant's ear in outline and almost iu size. There are numberless modifications of the poke, whiih 3et clings to lavor. and new and ver3 becoming G3'ps3 shapes, these charming ami less conspicuous bonnets being made with brims of shirred satin and soft Moorish crowns of plush or velvet The crowns ti the most fashionable round hats are immensely high, with brims as wide as the Gainsborough. Capotes or bebe bonnets are still in h'gh vogue, tht ugh attempts have been made to crowd these prett3' and lady-like little French bonnets to the waif. For full dress there is no head covering to equal them in st3le and elegance. A'. Y. Even ing I'ost. - The Law's Uncertainty. "The law is a sort of hocus-pocus science." says an old play, "and the glorious uncertaint3 of it is of more use to the professors than the justice of it." An incident in the ollic'al life of Lord Chancellor Eldon illustrates the truth fulness of the dramatist's remark. He once referred a certain case to three courts below, in succes-ion, to decide what a particular document was. Not one of them agreed with either of the other two as to the legal name of the document. The Court of King's Bench decided it was a lettse in fee; the Com mon Pleas, that it was a lease in tail; the Exchequer, that it was a lease for years. When the document came back to the Lord Chancellor, he decided that it was no lease at all. An anecdote, which an Irish Judge used to tell with great glee, illustrates the law's uncertainty, when adminis tered b3 attorne3s, and its certainty when a plain man decides the case on its merits. A suitor complained to this Judge that he was "ruinated," and could go no further with his case. " Then 3ou had better," said his Hon or, "leave the case to be decided by reference." "To be sure I will," answered the man; "I've been now at law thirteen years and can't get on at all, at all. I'm willing to leave the case to one honest hum, or to two attorneys, whichever your lordship pleases." " You had better toss up for that," said the Judge, laughing. Two attorneys were appointed, how ever, and in a year's time they reported that they could not agree. The matter was then left to an honest farmer, and in a week the parties came into court and said that the plain, un professional referee had settled the case to their satisfaction. Youth's Companion.
