ELISFS TAXITT.The Story of tbe Mil lei Daaghter.

The vanity of the fair sex. It is said,Is of the same age ns the sex itelf. Aclever writer, in defending thi trait ofhe feminine character, has said that

it constitutes: its greatest charm ; that,without it, the 8"x would loe half itsAttraction; and in support of thistheory there is the old quaint story ofthe German maiden a history whichis 60 tender and pretty, that it is worthrescuing from the forgotten legends ofthe Fatherland.

A maiden lived on the banks of theRhine with her father, the miller.Now, the maiden, whose' name wasElise, was not pretty, and she wascross and fretful, for she grieved forher own lack of beauty, and thoughtthat no one would ever care for her onaccount of the few graces Nature hadgiven to her ; so she did not even tryto please, and yet her heart was verylarge and very Kindly. Hhe spent halfof her time in front of her looking-plas- -,

lamenting her plainness, andthinking how impossible it was thatCarl would ever learn to love her.while Gretchen, who was so fair andpretty that she was called "TheDaughter of Spring," dwelt Dear her.Elise was not loved, for ebe never triedto gain love. She always fancied thatit would be in vain to endeavor toplease, in vain to be kind and thought-ful and loving. When Nature had soslighted her. who could care for her,or think of her, or be interested in her?"Ah !" she sitrhed one day, "if 1 couldhave but Gretchen's beauty, I shouldte the happiest girl in the Fatherland,for then I should not fear any rival ;and Carl, sunny-haire- d Carl, mightlove me."

But Carl never came near her now,and only thought of her as cross andfretful Elise, and wished Gretchen hadhad Jess vanity with her pretty face,and a rather larger heart in her slimbody"

One day it was in the time of thevintage Elise went down to theRhine to bring in water, and, as shedipped her pnil in the clear ripples,she bbw her own face reflected, audturned away, wretched and discon-tented. She sat down on a reekystone, and watched the sunlight playing on the castle-crown- ed hills, andlistened to the far-o- ff song of the workera in the vineyards; and she thoughtof Carl, who was tatre, and of Gret-chen, who Was there also. "Ah me,"she sighed, " what a gift is beauty I"

"Elise," said a voice; and, lookingup, she saw an old woman, a very old,deformed woman, standing near toher. "Elise," she said, "I will tellyou the secret of beauty, and you shallohtain all that you long for so much.Go home, and "never look in a glass,never see the r?flection of jouf ownlace in the water, never once againgaze on your own features, and youwill grow pretty so pretty that allwill wonder at the change; and Carl

Carl will learn to love you.""Ah, I will never see my face again

a long as I live never, never I" saidElise. "But are you sure, quite sure?"

"Quite sure," replied the dame ; "butremember, if you once see your ownface, your ugliness will return. Nowgo home, and le light of heart; andevery day more love will hover roundvou."

"But how shall I know it is true, ifI may not see my f ice ?" asked Elise.

"Can you not tell by the alteredraauuerof those around you?" askedthe dame.

"Oh, Vks," said Elise; "how I willwatch them !"

Elise went home witli a new andstrange happiness at her heart, a hap-piness that chanced her nature, andin flueiieed every day of her life, andmade her amiable, and soft, and lov-ing, and kind, and cohsidtrate, andanxious to please, and ready to terveand help others.

Presently people began to remarkthe alteration in the miller's daughter,and to tell her how different she wasfrom formerly, aud the maidens soughther out and talked to her about theirlovers, and the youths declared thatElise, the miller's daughter, was thenicest girj that side of the Rhine, audCarl learned to think how differentshe was from Gretchen, and he learntto love her, and through the Father-land there was not so happy a girl asElise. Aul all thia time she neveronce saw her own face, but turnedaway her head when the dipped her!ai!s in the stream, and through allthe miller's house there was not to befound a lonking-g'oss- . She longed(ah, how much!) to see herself in hernew garb of beauty; but the remem-bered the old woman's warning andconquered her wish.

In the spring time came the wed-ding-d- ar,

and early in the sweet, lreshmorning she was married to Carl, andthe young flowers peeped out to see herface'as she pas.d byt and tbe tendergrass kissed her feet as she went along,and the birds sang out a greeting, audeven the light feathery clouds seemedto stoop over her head, as if with theirshadowy hands they blessed her on herbridai-ilay- . Ah, happy iMise 7 .

"Thou srt so changed!" taid Carl."Thy face is so different from what itformerly was, It does not peem to methat it ia pofsible thou art the sameElise. I used to pass without evenlooking back to gaz.e on thee; but to-

day iu the bridal-ve- il thou art a sweetpicture, which memory will paint onmy heart forever."

Elise felt herself thrilled with happi-ness but never once told the secret ofthat change, though she herself didnot know that the real secret lay inher own changed nature.

ISo presently they were all feasting;and Elise, longing to be alone for afew minutes with ner wonderful hap-piness, crept down to the side of theRhine, and thought over the past.

"Ah, and he said I am so altered too!Happy Elbe, thou art indeed altered;aud lie said how pretty I looked in mybridal-vei- l. Do I I wonder? Whatwould 1 not give to see myself!"

Elise was forgetting, as she longedto herself, how sirict had been theo'd woman's warning. She stood onthe edge of the water with her faceturned away; but her vanity kepttaring to her. "Look once, for a sinzlei.omeut, EMse, and see thyself on thy

bridal-day- ;" but ehe hesitated andlonged, and wandered if punishmentwould really follow if she looked. "Itcannot make any difference," BheHthought, and she moved her head alittle way a very little way roun- d-till she could just see the shape of herhead ref.ected in the water, aud sawwhat? the same niain face she remembered long ago ; the same, the verysame, wunout on feature altered!

Chinese Offerings to the Bead I'From the Ban Tranciscto Talletlo. " 7

At an early hour a long pro-cession of carriages and express wagonsmoved toward the cemetery from tbeChinesetiuarter - Every one was filledwith Chinameo, soma of th wagons jDeing over ioaaea. in tne latter werethe offerings to be made st tbe graves.Each party of sacii fleers had a roastbrg, laid on a shallow wooden troughor tray, .baked ducks and chickens,pyram ds of cakes composed of lard,flour and sugar, and baked in variouscolon, pot a of lea, bottles of wine andbrandy, chop sticks, cups pistes andsaucers, packages of rice and largebundles of yellow and crimsom paper.

The ceremonies at all the tomb- - weresimilar, so that a description of tbwat one Jime will answer for all. Therray holding tbfe roast pfg was laid atthe font of a grave orinclosurec' ntaiu-fn- g

several, and bebiud this was placeda piece of matting, on which wasspread the.smaller delicacies of the Ce--

lestial lurch, lllce was scattered onthe ground, tea and wine ar-- brariityloured into little cups, the chop (ticksplaced in xition for use, and the pv "

ramids of cakes uncovered. Then themen of the party, singly or in couple?,bowed twice with clasped handstoward the offering and the graves, thenkuet taud bowed the head thrice to theground.

Joss-stic- ks and crimson wax taperswere lighted and stuck in tbe taud onthe tomb, the latter for discouragingpresence and officious interference ofevil spirits of those who had been foeson the earth of the dead. The pecu-liar odor of Chinese Incensw filled theair, aud was at times so pungeot as toalmost discourage the presence of Cau-casians, clothed iu the strong armor ofthe earth etrthy. The obligations allproperly arranged, the packages of pa-pers were unloosed and prepared forflames.

Some of the papers bore Inscriptionswritten by men called wise in mattersof religion. Some were prayers to thegods for good harvests, health, peaceand joy to the living. Some were inthe nature of biils of fare, informingthe departed of all the ingredleuta ofthe offerings, the name of the donors,and a petiou to them to come and parlake. Then there were piles of "moneypaper," representing copper, silver andgold, according to the col"r of a littlepiece of gilt piper stuck in the ceutreof each sheet. This is intended to bedrawn on siht by the dead, and usedby them to defray their necessary ex-penses in the other world. All theseand such other communications asmay be written, are supposed to becomevisible and tangible to the spirit whenreduced to ashes. The pile is fired, andin a few minutes clouds of smoke andcinders fill the sir; tbe immortals arepresent, and renew the festivities ofmortal life. It U always supposedthat there are spirits who have nofriends to call them back charityreaches into the land of Buddha.

The Chinamen cuts oft smail portionsof the pig, the lower bill of a duck, por-tion of a chicken's breast, takes a mor-sel of cake, a little wine or tea and riceand deposits them in a ?ide dish for thegustatory enjoyment of the poor spirits'At the conclusion of the sacrificial eeiemouies, all the edibles that have notbeen cast upon the ground are gather-ed np again, replaced in the wagonsand returned to the abodes of the living,where the tables receive them, andtbey soon disappear down the throatsof ail who have contributed to procureand cook the Celestial feast

The Building or Character.There is not a thought that is not stri-king a blow; there is not an impulsethat is not doing mason-work- ; there isnot a passion thrust this way or that,that is not a Workman's thrust. Theimagination in all directions is building.You think that you are throwing outthe net for game; you think that youare laying plans for your accomplish-ment; but behind all the conscious workthat is going on in yon, behind jonrvisible attainments, there is anotherwork going on. There are as manymaster-workme- n in you as there areseparate faculties; aud there are asmany blows being struck as there areseparate acts of emotion or volition.And this work is going on perpetually.Every single day these myriad forcesare building, building, building. Hereis a great structure going np, point bypoint story by story, although yon arenot conscious of it. It is a building ofcharacter. It is a building that muststand, and the word of inspirationwarns you to take heed how you buildit, to see to it that yon have a foundation that shall eudure; to maso surethat you arc building on it, not for thehour in which you live, but for thathour of revelation, when you shall beseeu just as you are.

CLASSIC DRESS.

From mutilated statuary, from frescoed paintings, maTvelously preservedbeneath the ashes of Pompeii and thelava of Herculaneum, we can eke outthe verbal descriptions which havecome down to us irom me writers oiantiquity, and for a fair idea of howthe woman of classic times were wontto dress.

' THE BOMAS PURPLE.

Romans of rank, if they had onedarling weakness, manifested It intheir passion for purple. It was notmerely because the dye or tbe lynanshell fish contrasted well with tneprevalent whiteness or classic gar-ments, but because the purple hue wassacred to Ca;sar and a reflected glory ofimperial dignity clung about thosewhose high stations gave them thenrivilpire of bordering their gownswith a stripe, more or less nanow, ofthe courtly color, rtever uiu me en-vied scrap of red ribbon that decoratesa Frenchman's button-hol-e occasionprouder delight, and angry heart burnings, SUCh eager longinga as uiu meconcessiou to wear purple amongthe masters of the world.

It must have been a grand spectacle,that Claypole toilet, at wbich wife andsister, aim and daughter, lent all tbea!d they could, hovering about thechamber where the Claypole regnantwa getting ready to confront at leastrefleoted royalty. With wnat tenderreverence did they lift from tbe oakenchest, where it lay in lavender, hisworship's doublet that doublet ofFlorence satin, quilted with silk, stillwith embroidery, and sown with seedpearl, which represented a mortgage onnine corn ricks and swine of Brack leyFen.

was succeeded by the ludicrous bulkof tbe bom hasted garments of Franceand bluff Harry of England. Trunkboss and Flanderooats, stuffed out withhair and wool, with bran or straw, ac-

cording to the liberality of tbe custo-mer, was what tailordom then had tooflerto a discerning public; and soonafterwards the stin Elizabeth run, ex-cruciatingly starched, and with itsbristling points as sharp as tne spixealeaves of a holly hedge, began to encase the much-endurin- g necks of bothsexes.

The following is from the DenverCity New: , i

'

Twenty-on- e miles south of Denverlie the remainsof a palm tree preservedin stone. ' It is on the hillside, lookingdown on Cherry Creek, and a huudredfeet or more above tne level ot me valley of that stream. The soil is similarto that of most oi the upland plains inColorado, and covered at present witha thick crop of gras-- i and weeds.Bunches of current bushes, laden withfruit-clust- er about the wooden rocks.and above, to tbe top of the ridge andalong its crest, are scrubby youngpines and a few large trees. At thafoot of the hill, three, hundred yards tothe westward, passes the old stage roadfrom Denver to Santa Fe. The traveler, looking up, couia see a :eage ormass of rough looking rock", rising teqor twelve feet above the surface of theground and about forty feet In length.Camp flies have been built against itand campers have dououess sougntshelter from the storm or sun under itsprojecting front, little dreaming thatUiey reclined in tne snauow oi a paimtree. The pupils of a school-hou- se

near by have played about it many aday. Last winter a hunter for curiousspecimens stumbled upon it and guess-ed IU true character. Specimens werebrongtit to Denver and pronounced bythe best authorities petrified palmwood. But the mass was reported solarge that the story seemed incredible.

A careful examination reveals tnefollowing facts: The monster treeevidently grew where it lies, and therehas been very nuie cnange in tne sur-face of the ground at that point sinceits fall. Its fall was towards the northand across a narrow tongue or spur ofthe hill, near the crest, on the soumside of which it stood. The uneven- -ness of the ground caused the part oftrunk now visible to break in twopieces. The first or butt section, isthirty-nin- e feet long, and it has appar-ently rolled about half over, down thehill. In the heart was ei'her a hollowor a mass of decayed wood, from fourto six feet in diameter. Mpe upperside of the log has been broken up bythe action of the elements and frost,destroying between one-thi- rd and one- -

half iu c.rcumierence, ana tne irag-men- ts

lie scattered about in hugeblocks. The more than half that remains intact is a huge trough; thesurface of the earth is even with itsbrim on the up hill side and ten feetten below it on the down-hi- ll side. Asliefore stated, this sectior. is thirty-nin-e

feet long. As near as can be determined without excavating the adjacentearth, the diameter of the tree at itsbase is twenty-tw- o ieer. .oiiuway oits length, or twenty feet irom the

base, it i- - fifteen feetThe second section is twenty-on-e

feet long, and evidently lies where itfell. Striking square across the ridge,the immense weight almost buried itn tbe earth. Its outlines are hard to

determine without digging, but atmid-lengt- h, or fifty leet from thestump, it is certainly nine leet indiameter. The two sections, as ,ue--sprihed. measure iut sixty feet inlength. Above that point tne oithe tree fell into a gulch, which hasbeen since nearly filled up by the washfrom the hills above. Digging wouiadoubtless reveal much more of thetrunk.

And all this immense mass of woodhas turned to stone, hard and flinty asporphyry. Some or it Iooks lice agate,finely veined and delicately tinted.Other with opaline lustre: some aswhite as the driven snow, or with the

surface of chalcedony, for--

OX THE Hilda OF CIDER.

There has seldom been a larger cropof apples than that of the present season ; the markets tor present use havebeen glutted, and many who are un-prepared for making cider, or havenot been able to procure casks, (wbichare scarce and high,) will have to cutand dry. the fruit in the sun. (whichwill pay,) or to turn in their hogs toconsume It To those however whohav prepared themselves with cidermills, we offer the following sugges--tious irom tne i. x. firmer, tneeditor, in introducing them, remarks.that whether cider oe maoe gooa ornot, will depend greatly -- upou themanner in which the business is man--aired.

In the first place, we are Inclined tobelieve that the ripening oi ine appieshas much to do with the quality of thecider. If au unripe apple, and a perfectly ripe one were analyzed, the results from each would probably bequite different An unripe peach orgear has little resemblance to one thatis maiureu on mw uw. mi milit-ant chemical change takes place Inthe ripening of apples, which givestheir choicest qualities, such as theflavor of the flesh and . aroma of theskin. If Ah is be so, the first requisitein cider making, is to secure ripenessin the fruit to be used.

MELLOWING. '

It is better that apples should layfor a time after being gathered lieforetbey are ground or smashed. Thismellowing process has two advantages.The first is. in a sort of maturinc thejuice while In the apple, where it issupposed to acquire a richness wnicnwould be lost if the apples were groundas soon as gathered from the tree.The second is. that in the process ofmellowing, the texture is greatly eoftsened, so that the operations of grind-ing and pressing are more easily andmore effectually performed. Careshould be takes, however, that themellowing is not carried too far. Whenthe thu nib can be easily thrust intothe apple, it is time it were ground.

ROTTEX APPLESFor the same reason that apples

should be ripe before being made intocider, we believe that rotton applesshould not be used. When decompo-sition commences, a chemical change!takes place entirely utilise that whichgives flavor and aroma to the ripen- -ing fruit- - It is now in a rapid siaie otdecay, and on tasting its juice it willbe found entirely uniiRe mat oi asound, mellow apple. The use of rot-ten apples is undoubtedly the sourceof ....much poor cider.'.a - 11 a A

When the iruit is gaiuereo, tne ae--caying apples should be rejected andthe sound laid in neaps a loot tnicx onthe grass ground, perhaps, where theywill mature. It is not necessary toprotect them from the weather, unlessfrost is anticipated. If placed in abuilding they are apt to get a taint ofmust which is likely to be communicated to the cider. When the applesare taken up for grinding, it is best toreject again those which are rotten, i

GRINDISQ, PCLPLNQ OR MASHING THEAPPLES.

This is done iu many instancesnow, mucn more eneciuanv man itused to be. A considerably largeramount of juice is obtained from thesame measure of apples, and the cideris of a better quality. Like the "strip-ping- s"

in milking, the last Juice obtained irom the "cneese" is oi a uaraercolor and much richer than that whichflows out first It is important, there-fore, that pressure should be verygreat While looking at a powerfulpress set up last year, we were toldthat the pomace immediately from thepress, and broken up, would burn free-ly if thrown upon the fire.

In order to obtain a very fine quality of cider, it is sometimes the prac-tice to make the first pressing verylight, bo as to extract only that por-tion of the juice which would flow al-

most spontaneously ; then remove the)ulp, break it to pieces ano anow it toay for ten or twelve hours, turning it

over once or twice during ine time.By this exposure, the pulp will becomebrown, and being then pressed bv agradually increasing pressure, willgive out not only a deeper colored, duiconsiderably sweeter juice, than thatwhich flowed at the first pressure.

CASKS FOR HOLDINt CIDER.Large quantities of cider are ruined

by being put into filthy casks. Scarce-l- v

anvtbinz can be more uncleanand offensive than the "dregs" whichremain in the cask after draining ofthe cider. It is a collection of animaland vegetable matter, in a high stateof decomposition, a stench to the nostrils, and a poison to the Btomacn.And yet, casks containing this filthare probably usea every year, anuwithout even being rinsed out Usenone but perfectly clean casks. Itwill be difficult ever to make a filthy

This should be carefully watched, sothat as soon as it ceases, the caskshould be closed. The barrel ought tobe kept full so that what scum risesmav flow off from the bung-hol- e,

while fermentation is going on.LATE-MAD-E CIDER.

It is said that if the apples can bekent from freezing, cider made late inNovember, or in December, will bebetter than anv made earlier.

From other reliable source's the following is cleaned :

If tbe casks are musty or foul put ina quantity of unslacked lime ana mennour in boiling water until the same isslacked. Put in tbe bung and snakeuntil the water and lime have come incontact with every part or tne oarrei.T.et It stand six or eight hours, emptyout and smell the cask, and if notclean repeat the operation, and afterbavinir attain emptied out the limeburn a atrio ofcloth dipped in meltedbrimstone In the cask, tastening it bythe humr. and a cask must be ioui indeed that cannot be purified by thisriPOiMfl

The following process of keepingsweet cider is also highly recommend-ed : Let the cider ferment once, so astn elear. then rack off. and into eachcask or barrel throw a piece of rawbeef!

Nw Yoax, Oct. 14, 187XTo the People of tha United SUOe:

s The Octobor eleotions are over. Theyenable ns to form a tolerable acearataidea of the true political situation ofthe country. In Georgia wa have to re-count a victory for the Liberal tioketaounexampled as to take her out of the)list of doubtful States and practicallyto pronounce in advance tha decisionof at least 125 votes in the electoral col-lege. To this number it is only neces-sary to add 60 votes to elect Greeleyand Brown. In Pennsylvania the dis-tinguished chairman of the Liberalcommittee has eloquently characterizedthe method by which the result of thselection there was accomplished. Wecommend his statement to the thought-ful attention of the country. In Ohio.,despite most unprecedented gains forthe Liberal Democratic ticket, theGrant managers have carried the election by a reduced majority, navingbrought to the polls their entire reservevote. Had our Democratic mends inoertail localities of that great common-wealth shown the same earnestness andactivity, and enabbja us, like our ene-mies, to record our entire strength,they would now be exalting over abrilliant victorf: In Indiana, theDemocratic ana Liberal forces haveachieved a most important success onthe Pennsylvania tactics, most unscru-pulously employed by the- Administrationand its allies, showing thus that a freepeople, when aroused, know their rightsand dare maintain them. Indiana hasfully demonstrated that she can neitherbe bought nor bullied. The moral ofthere results is, that the victory is stillin plain view for our national ticket,and that energy and courage wiil as areit That victory must be won. If wemean to preserve free institutions onthis continent we must assure it Theevent in Pennsylvania on Tuesday last,when considered in its causes, is themost appalling political catastrophethat has ever taken place in this coun-tn- r.

Should the system through whichthis catastrophe was brought about becondoned by the the people and foistedon the other States, it seals the thedoom of freedom in America, A sadcontrast it is, surely, that the city inwhich our republic was born, amid theanthems of a free people, should nowbe the first to toll the knell of its liber-ties. It is for the free unbought peopleof all the States to calmly review thefearful crime against suffrage in Penn-sylvania, and to decide whether it shallbe repeated within their own borders.For the fint time, the system of freegovernment and the sanctity of the bal-

lot are really on trial in the UnitedStates. From this hoar forward thepreservation of the franchise in its in-

tegrity dwarfs all other issues. Let ourfriends in each of the States catch in-

spiration from ths heroic conduct ofour fellow-citizen- s in Georgia and inIndiana, and from now till Novemberlet their struggle be manful and unceas-ing for lioerty and an untaintedballot-bo-x, for reform and an honestadministration of the government
