THE NOSE.

 

Tis very odd that poets should suppose
There is no poetry about a nose,
_ When plain as is the nose upon your face, .
A noseless face would lack poetic grace,
Noses have sympathy; a lover knows
Noses are always touched, when lips are
kissing,

And who wotild care to kiss where nose is
missing? I '

Why, what would be the fragrance of a rose,

and counterfeiting this character? Psliaw l
I must not be caught.

One unlucky day—it was Friday. day
ever hateful to nie—tlic men were away on
some shooting expedition, and I was left at
home in consequence of a sprained ankle,
acquired while procuring some particular
wild-flowers for Ger. I sat alone after 'din-
nor. 'I drank freely, and pondered deeply.
Ipictured myselfliviug in a snug country-
house with Ger for my wife; I reflected

 

And where would be our mortal means of

Whether a vile or wholesome odor flows
Around us, if we owned no sense of smelling?
I know a nose, a nose no other knows,
’Neatli s:arry eyes, o’er ruby lips it grows ;
_ Beauty is in its form, and music in its blows.

' A Mother’s s........’...

In J uue, 1869, the ship Wanderer left the
settlements of Monrovia, on the coast of Li-
.beria in Africa, having on board, among
her passengers, bound home to England,
Mr. Benton, 0. young missionary, and his
beautiful wife Helen, with their child—a lit-
tle girl,‘tlirec years old. '

For three weeks the vessel encountered a
succession of head-winds and violent squalls,
which, driving hcr‘towards land, at length
compelled her captain to anchor in a small
bay on the coast of Morocco. It was a '
beautiful spot, but a few hundreds of yards
from one of the half-detached peakg of the
Atlas Mountains.

Gazing inland, the passengers beheld a
wealth of verdure, with tall trees and climb-
ing plants, and flowers of variegated hue,.
many of the latter ascending to the tops of
the rocky hills, and hanging down in long,
graceful festoous over the valleys between.

In the afternoon, the gale having abated,

 

glanced keenly at me, and, with her usual
tenderness, spoke pleasantly to dissipate
my fears. I gathered courage; I approach-
ed—took her hand—began, “My dear Ger,
as you are aware, and as you doubtless
know—that is .to say, being cognisant of—”

the captain lowered a boat to make sound-
ings in the bay.

“ I would so like to take little Clara
ashore,” said Helen tolier husband. “ You
know she has been teasing us all day for
some of those'pretty flowers.”

“Very well; if the captain will take the
trouble to put us ashore, we will'go,” said
Benton. , ‘

The captain having readily given his con-
sent, the two passengers were soon landed
on the beach.

“ Don’t go far away, sir,” said the skip-
per, as he shoved ofi' agaifi.

But little Clara,breaking from her parents,

tions, the sides of which were covered with

It is nearly twenty years ago since the
awful afi‘alr happened which you shall now

usual invitation to spend a month with
Enfield Marston, of Marston House, Bucks.
As usual, I accepted, and in duetime made
my appearance. Imagine my horror and
just indignation on finding at dinner that
there were two ladies staying in the house,
evidently permanent visitors. Young ones

Dalia. I trembled as I remarked the fold h
upon fold of gauzy flimsy stufi‘ which float
ed around her; for I knew full well that
never is “the enemy” more dangerous than
when shrouded in such clouds. I saw with
fear and dread'that the creature was more
than ordinarily beautiful, and I began to
have horrid visions of imperious commands
which should upset all the men, who in-
variably encourage these pretty tyrants by
obeying them. Conceive my terror when
my beta noz‘ra glanced kindly on me and
actually addressed me! From that moment
I knew that all was lost. Invain I applied e
myself to the various dishes, or tasted °
cynically the fine wines of our host. It
was of no use; there was no more enjoy- ..
ment for me that evening; all pleasure was
banished by the oft-recurring vision of that
awful personage who'lad dared to speak to a
me at dinner, and to smile at me in such a
bold, forward manner. Before we joined
the ladies I button-holed Marston, and told
him that I should have to leave him the
next morning, owing to an important busi-
ness matter for which I‘had omitted to
a range. With the inconsistency of men,
he would hear of no excuse. I was obliged
to yield fearing that he would tell his other
friends of my weakness; and, of all things
I dread, ridicule is the foremost. I gave
myself up to despair. Little sleep had I

liberty through the apparition whom they
called Ger Weston.

notice of me, and, as the day were on’, and
I was still unmolested, I began to recover
my spirits, and to hope ’that after all I
should return to town as unineumbered as
I left. _

The second day passed without an event,
and I was lulled into blissful security. I

Pleased at having found a woman who

could talk sensibly, 1 surrendered myself at
discretion, and on the next day inspected
her specimens and declared their value.
By the/end of the week we were very good
friends indeed, and my only drawback was
a certain Lieutenant Haughton, who was
staying in the house for the first time. This

The retirement of ChiefJustice Butler,
though not unexpected, will be universally
regretted throughout the State. Among all
our eminent jusists who have composed our
Supreme Court, Judge Butler ranks a peer
of the best. Others may have beem more
able or more learned in some especial de-
partment, but none have won a moré envi-
able distinction or held a higher place in
public esteem. We fully endorse the con-
clusion of the Palladium:

“Free from partisanship, learned in the
law, and in private'life winning esteem by
the beauty and amiability of an unsullied
character, the memory of the retiring judge
will always be cherished by those who were
brought in contact with him.”

The strength of‘ the latter, in spite of all

might she not contrive to elude the animal
until the party from below should arrive.
The cluster of trees was now the coveted
goal, and she strained every nerve to reach
it. But when she was within ten feet of it,
she met with a fearful disappointment—a
deep, yawing chasm, right in her path, be-
tween her and the trees, and which had
hitherto been hidden from her sight by high
bushes fringing the edge.

The chasm was too wide to leap over.
She turned, and stood at bay—her back to
the abyss, her face toward the lion. There
seemed no hope now. Death was before
and behind her,‘ hemming her in on both
sides.

The lion» paused as she turned towards
him. He uttered a growl of triumph, and
crouched for the fatal spring.

The lady strained her child closer to her
breast. To descend the :dark depths of the
chasm was preferable to being torn by that
savage monster.. There was no time tolose.
In another moment the tawny body must
come swo‘oping down upon her.

But now a quick, wild thought—a moth-

Under the armpits she clasped her child
with each hand, and raised it high above
her head. so that the bleeding scratches on
its white flesh were tully exposed to the
lion’s view. - ‘

That sight roused to‘the full the uncon-
trolable desires of the savage beast. With
a smothered roar, he shot up from. the rock,

DEAR Gamma—About twenty miles
from Pilatka, on the east side of the St.

they or any of them require an agreement
in writing from such borrowers to continue
to pay the avanced rate, as a condition of
continuing such loans; whether any such
banks have paid out to borrowers, stocks or
bonds, in place of money, ‘On .0. loan;
whether any banks or the oflicers thereof
are in the habit of’taking more than the
legal rate of interest in the way of exchange,
commission, or otherwise.”
Iwould respectfiilly report that the fol‘
lowing named Savings banks have advanc-
ed their rate of interest on loans made prior
toJuly 1st, 1872, and on newrloans, to,8 per
cent., viz. : The Middletown Savings bank,
ihe.Farmers’ and Mechanics’ Savings bank
of Middletown, the Citizens’ Savings bank
of Stamford, the Chester Savin 3 bank, the
Cromwell Savings bank, the ew_Canaan
Savings bank, the Thompsonville Savmgs
bank and the Moodus Savings bank. The
above banks, with the exception of the New
Canaan Savings bank and the Thompson-
vill Savings bank, also require an. agree-
ment in writing from the borrower to pay
such rate, 'as a condition of continuing their
loans. In the cases of the New anaan
Savings bank .and the Thompsonville
Savings bank these banks _at the time
of my examination did reqmre their boy
rowers to 'sign an agreement 10 pay their
vanced rate. .
adThe following banks, viz. : the -So_ut-h~
port Savings bank,fthe Greenwich Savmgs
bank, the Savings bank of Ansonia, and
the Woodbury Savings bank, have ad-
vanced their rate on new loans to 8 per
cent, and tlie‘following,viz.: the Sucld
Savings bank. the Savings bank of To land,
the Savings bank of Rockville, the People 3
Savings bank of Rockville, the Stafford Sav-
ings bank, the Eastford Sayings bank, the
Savings bank of Stafford Springs, and the
Deep River Savings bank, have advanced
their rate to 7% per cent. ; and the follow-
intr to 73-10 per ccnt.,viz._: the Wfiidsor
Lo=cks Savings bank, the Willimantic Sav-
ings Institute, and-the -dimc Savmgs bank
of Willimantic. . .
The practice which was pommon in a few
of our savings banks previous to this year,
of obtaining an exorbitant rate, of interest
by paying to borrowers bonds or stocks at a
price higher than the current market price,
has been discontinneltll, as has also the prac-
' 0 char in exc ange. ' .
11cA!ii‘ioughgregligorts of instances of savings
banks and savings bank managers and
trustees receiving a commissmn or gratuity
for making loans have come to my ears,yet

‘ no evidence of the fact could be obtained

B33211).

that would warrant me in reporting the case
to your honorable bet y.
