ALSO, It was in the year—but no matter, I have the most treacherous memory imaginable for dates,—when Quartz was at Berlin. You know who Quartz was? if you don't, I'll tell Dou. He was the celebrated music composer and musician at the court of Frederick the Great, and by the way, taught him on the (lute, Quartz was the pupil of the famous counterpointist, Gasparini; Quartz, in short, was the man. who, as he was leaving the orchestra one night, heard a ball whistle in his ear, ticked for him by the Spanish Ambassador, who was in love with a certain Marchioness. I cau assure you the aim was a good one and the maestro might well bob his head and wink his eyes. At the time of which I was speaking before I got into these parentheses. Quartz was forty-one—tall, and well made in his person, of a noble and characteristic countenance, which joined to a talent whose superiority no one could dispute, gave him free access to all societies, and caused him to be well recieved everywhere. He was, among others, particularly intimate with one Shindler, a friend of his youth, who had followed the same studies—almost with the same success. What a blessing was such a friend ! In his house, after the fatigues and adulations that every coming day brought with it, Quartz passed his evenings. At Bhindler's ho sought for a balm to the wounds of envy and jealousy, fortified his mind against the caprices of the great, and above all, from Schindler he was sure to meet with a tribute duo to his genius, and praises that came from the heart. iiut death laid his cold and pitiless hand on Shindler, and with bis terrible scythe cut that knot which only he could sever. * No record of the time remains to tell us whether Madame Sehinder"lamented him sore." There are some sorrows over which W9 are forced to throw a veil. Perhaps she did, perhaps she did not, shed a tear; perhaps a ilood of tears. Habit and long intimacy are mighty und power- Oct.

Chinese Coal Mine 529 9. 1 3- 2TA' lie. l'ittston, April 1« '73 tf crackkiik, caki:s, Although China contains many coal beds, it is nevertheless forced to import nearly all the coal along the sea coast. This is caused by the difficulties of transporting it in large quantities to any distance from the mine, a road being distinguished from the surrounding country by the ruts felt by the wagons which have previously gone that way. In the province of Shansi, coal is worth twenty-flve cents a ton at the mine, but at a distance of thirty miles will bring six dollars a ton. A writer in iron thus describes their method of hoisting coal from the mine : The shafts are not perpendicular, but are inclined planes, 400 or 500 feet In length, running down aslant of about forty-flve degrees. Up this slant the men carry the coal ill baskets, one being attached to each end of a carrying pole, which is borne upon the left shoulder. The shafts are about seven feet high, and about the same width, with" a wooden roof, beams on both sides for support, and wood along the floor so arranged as to form steps, up which the miner pulls himself by catching the projection of a step above him with a small curved stail", which he carries in his right liana.—Exchange. 1D M I' M AM 246 1261 3 1 2* Klmira.

People who are calling this a season strange above all others, indicative that our planet has drifted into new influences, and who are promising all sorts of consequences, from poor crops to Second Advent, may bear in mind that there is a precedent for it all, and that whether the weather is divinely dispensed each day, or is a grand sequence under ordained law, which prayer cannot affecf, it keeps coming and changing, hour by hour, and the peculiar freaks of a century and more ago have not resulted in annihilation yet. Nor lias the period between then and now been one of uninterrupted disaster. ]\IRS. ELLEN E IIYNES, Thus, as J slid, Madame Sliindler had given up weeping; and, as every one should have some occupation or other,she bethought herself of getting a new husband iu lieu of the old. The idea was not a bad one. Is it not so? With this view she employed herself in repairing the disorder of her toilette —in smiling on her visitors—in coquetting with them a little. And who can blame her? If you know mankind as well as I do, you must be aware that these things, much as we may despise them, go a great way in the world. Depend 011 it, that if a woman is simple in her manners, and plain in her dress, and without what most people term affectation or coquetery, no one will take the trouble of looking at "her twice. Madame Shindler's house underwent a similar metamorpliasis to her own. The Venetians, that hud for a whole year been carefully closed, began to let in the day, and were draperied with more care and elegance than ever. The very furniture seemed to assume a new life. Her doors opened almost.of themselves to her former friends and new acquaintances, and more than one guest at a time took his seat at her dinner table. Quartz was as may be expected always welcome , and he had this advantage, that come when he might, she was at homo to him. Nothing less could bo expected frttm so old a friend, and 110 one could possibly find fault with her for that, you will allow 730 4 P M H3I 6 H lb fi 9 15 6 66 M Chunk 6 1& 11 4: 00 Allento'n 4 34 am 101 16j Jiethl'm 4 _'Ci Ki 3. 46 Kan ton 3 60 loo, 16 TDhilad'a 2 1C» i 831 66 N.

Quartz was seated by her bddside when the doctor entered.

ALSO, It was in the year—but no matter, I have the most treacherous memory imaginable for dates,—when Quartz was at Berlin. You know who Quartz was? if you don't, I'll tell Dou. He was the celebrated music composer and musician at the court of Frederick the Great, and by the way, taught him on the (lute, Quartz was the pupil of the famous counterpointist, Gasparini; Quartz, in short, was the man. who, as he was leaving the orchestra one night, heard a ball whistle in his ear, ticked for him by the Spanish Ambassador, who was in love with a certain Marchioness. I cau assure you the aim was a good one and the maestro might well bob his head and wink his eyes. At the time of which I was speaking before I got into these parentheses. Quartz was forty-one—tall, and well made in his person, of a noble and characteristic countenance, which joined to a talent whose superiority no one could dispute, gave him free access to all societies, and caused him to be well recieved everywhere. He was, among others, particularly intimate with one Shindler, a friend of his youth, who had followed the same studies—almost with the same success. What a blessing was such a friend ! In his house, after the fatigues and adulations that every coming day brought with it, Quartz passed his evenings. At Bhindler's ho sought for a balm to the wounds of envy and jealousy, fortified his mind against the caprices of the great, and above all, from Schindler he was sure to meet with a tribute duo to his genius, and praises that came from the heart. iiut death laid his cold and pitiless hand on Shindler, and with bis terrible scythe cut that knot which only he could sever. * No record of the time remains to tell us whether Madame Sehinder"lamented him sore." There are some sorrows over which W9 are forced to throw a veil. Perhaps she did, perhaps she did not, shed a tear; perhaps a ilood of tears. Habit and long intimacy are mighty und power- Oct.

For a considerable time no particular occurrence happened to interrupt tliatr interviews, the motive of which seemed to he a mutual consolation. It is only by looking closely, and examining events with Attention, that we can discover any diminution of their affections for poor Sliindler ; but by degrees he faded from their memory. They now and then spoke Of him, it is true, but less and less, fill at last they ceased to speak of him at all. Khindier was allowed to slumber peaceably in his case of wood. Jan 1 73—ly AIIDS!

Chinese Coal Mine 529 9. 1 3- 2TA' lie. l'ittston, April 1« '73 tf crackkiik, caki:s, Although China contains many coal beds, it is nevertheless forced to import nearly all the coal along the sea coast. This is caused by the difficulties of transporting it in large quantities to any distance from the mine, a road being distinguished from the surrounding country by the ruts felt by the wagons which have previously gone that way. In the province of Shansi, coal is worth twenty-flve cents a ton at the mine, but at a distance of thirty miles will bring six dollars a ton. A writer in iron thus describes their method of hoisting coal from the mine : The shafts are not perpendicular, but are inclined planes, 400 or 500 feet In length, running down aslant of about forty-flve degrees. Up this slant the men carry the coal ill baskets, one being attached to each end of a carrying pole, which is borne upon the left shoulder. The shafts are about seven feet high, and about the same width, with" a wooden roof, beams on both sides for support, and wood along the floor so arranged as to form steps, up which the miner pulls himself by catching the projection of a step above him with a small curved stail", which he carries in his right liana.—Exchange. 1D M I' M AM 246 1261 3 1 2* Klmira.

These are records, all but one of them more than a century old. They notice six remarkably warm winteis within a period of forty years, but coming with no noticeable periodicity. People who are calling this a season strange above all others, indicative that our planet has drifted into new influences, and who are promising all sorts of consequences, from poor crops to Second Advent, may bear in mind that there is a precedent for it all, and that whether the weather is divinely dispensed each day, or is a grand sequence under ordained law, which prayer cannot affecf, it keeps coming and changing, hour by hour, and the peculiar freaks of a century and more ago have not resulted in annihilation yet. Nor lias the period between then and now been one of uninterrupted disaster. ]\IRS. ELLEN E IIYNES, Thus, as J slid, Madame Sliindler had given up weeping; and, as every one should have some occupation or other,she bethought herself of getting a new husband iu lieu of the old. The idea was not a bad one. Is it not so? With this view she employed herself in repairing the disorder of her toilette —in smiling on her visitors—in coquetting with them a little. And who can blame her? If you know mankind as well as I do, you must be aware that these things, much as we may despise them, go a great way in the world. Depend 011 it, that if a woman is simple in her manners, and plain in her dress, and without what most people term affectation or coquetery, no one will take the trouble of looking at "her twice. Madame Shindler's house underwent a similar metamorpliasis to her own. The Venetians, that hud for a whole year been carefully closed, began to let in the day, and were draperied with more care and elegance than ever. The very furniture seemed to assume a new life. Her doors opened almost.of themselves to her former friends and new acquaintances, and more than one guest at a time took his seat at her dinner table. Quartz was as may be expected always welcome , and he had this advantage, that come when he might, she was at homo to him. Nothing less could bo expected frttm so old a friend, and 110 one could possibly find fault with her for that, you will allow 730 4 P M H3I 6 H lb fi 9 15 6 66 M Chunk 6 1& 11 4: 00 Allento'n 4 34 am 101 16j Jiethl'm 4 _'Ci Ki 3. 46 Kan ton 3 60 loo, 16 TDhilad'a 2 1C» i 831 66 N.
