Towards evening, once, John was coming
along the road home with some stalks of the
sWeet-fiag in his hand; there is a succulent
pith in the end of the stalk which is very
good to eat, tender, and not so strong as the
root: and John liked to pull it, and carry it
home what he did not eat on the way. As
he was walking along he met a carriage,
which stopped opposite to him; he also
stopped and'bowcd, as country boys used to
do in Johnls day. A lady leaned from the
carriage and said: ‘
"W but have you got, little boy i”
She seemed to be the most beautiful wo-
man John had ever seen; with light hair,
dark, tender eyes, and the sweetest smile.
There was that in her gracious mien and in
her dress which reminded John of the bean-
tiful castle ladies, with whom he was well
acquainted in books. He felt thathe knew
her at once, and he'nlso see- i to be a‘ sort
of young prince himself. . .ancy he didn't
look much like one. But of his own ap-
pearance he thought not at all, as he replied
to the lady's question, without the least em-
barrasamcnt:
.“It’s sweet-flag stalk; would you like
some i” ‘
' “Indeed, I should like to taste of it,” .431.
the lady with a most winning smile. ’4.
used to be ever so fond of it when I was a
little girl.” ‘ ; '
John was delighted that the ' lady should
like sweet-flag, and that she was pleased‘io
accept 'it from him. He thought himself
knew. He handed up a large bunch offit.
The lady took two or three stalks, and was
about to return the rest, when John saids'j
“Please keep it all, ma’sm. I can get lots
more. I know where it’s ever so thick. "
“Thank you, thank you,” said ”the lady;
and as the carriage started she reached. out
her hand to John. He did no! understand
the motion, until he saw a cent drop in the,
road at his feet. Instantly all his illusion
and his pleasure vanished. Something like \
tears were in his eyes as he shouted:
: “I don‘t want your cent. I dOn't sell ,

which I may as well relate. '/
If you had seen John at this time you
might have thought he was only a shabbily
dressed country lad, and you never would
have guessed what beautiful thoughts he
sometimes had as he went stubbing his toes
‘slong the dusty road, nor what a chivalrous
little fellow he was. You would have seen
a short boy, barefooted, with trowsers at
once too big and too short, held up by one
,xsnspender only, it checked cotton shirt, and
a‘: hat of braided palm-leaf, frayed at the
edges and bulged up in the crown. It is im-
possible to keep a hat neat if you use it to
catch bumble-bees, and whisk ’em; to bail
010 water from a leaky boat; to catch min;
news in; to put over honey-bees’ nest, and
to transport pebbles, strawberries, and bens’
eggs John usually carried a sling in his

walked in the middle of it,.scufilng up the
dust; or if he went elsewhere, he was likely
to be running on topof the fence or the
stone wall, sndchssing chipmunks.
John knew the best place to dig sweet-flag
in all the farm: it was in a meadow by the
river, where the bobolinks sang so gaily.
He never liked to hear the bobolink sing,
however, for he said it always reminded

A few weeks since the wreck of a balloon.
was found where _it had landed in South
Africa, and from the package of letters
found near the wreck it .was evident that
the balloon had been sent out from Paris
during the siege by the Germans. A let
for to the London Times, written by M. dc
Fonvielle, the Parisian aeronaut, demon-
strates that the wrecked balloon was named
the Richard Wallace, and that it left Paris
in charge ,ofM. Lacaze on the 27th of J anus
lry, three days before the capitulation.
When last seen M. Laeaze Was passing in n

M. De Fonvielle believes that the remnant
was alive when his balloon landed, and that
unless he was killed in the. attempt to land
or subsequently starved to death in the
wilderness he may yet reach Natal. Should
this during aaronaut still survive and be
ultimately rescued he will have solved the
secrets ofAfrican geography, and will have

Tun LIGHT Cunn.‘—There has been, cer-
tainly, talk enough on “curative poperties
of light,” going the rounds of our papers,
for some time; and the matter has been duly
handled aboutfrom mouth to mouth among
our'physicians; but have we real] given
the subject the careful study that its mport-
auce demands, or made the practical appli- ,
cations that are'necessar to secure the de-
sired hagpy results? e cannot honestly
answer t e question with a decided ammo--
live. The physician of the Emperor of
Russia, sometime a 0, bed rooms fitted up
in a hospital at St. etershurg, for the ex-
press purpose of testing the curative powers
of light; and, in a report, just published,
says that the number of patients cured in
the amply li hted rooms, were four times
as large as w ere 'similgr cases were treated
‘in'compsrslively dark rooms. The subject
demands earnest study and careful, system-
stizedinvestifiation; and we again cell the-
atte‘nliou of our medical experts to, it,
trusting that they will not leave min the
dark, when so much light is eVidently need-

The following explains ll-ankly the con-
nection of the consolidated road with the
new Portchester road a— I
“During the year 1800 the Harlem River
and Portchestcr Railroad Com any entered
upon the construction ofa para lel and com-
peting line of railroad, with the intention
of opening up a. new route between New
York city and New 110vath be-
empofiessed of 'll the necessary-legisla-
g!" authority required in the State of ew
' ark, and would, beyond doubt, have soon
been able to obtain like authority within
. This enterprise
was then in the hands of prominent and
cmbsrrsssmcnts of that company, growing
out of the financial troubles of the fall of
1860, an opportunity was furnished your
company to take the control and manage-
ment of this road, then in process of con-
structiou. A considerable population, sit-
uated between New Rochelle andtbc Har~
lem River, were without raierad facilities,
and your directors, after careful reflection,
became fully convinced that unless these fa-
cilities were furnished b this compsn , by
meansof the charter o the Harlem River
and Portche'ster Railroad. of whieh it had
become possessed, that a railroad hostile to
our mterestswould have been constructed
y other parties, and would have been ex-
tended throu hlto New Haven, thus form-
ing a paralle and competin line for all the
business between New Yor and New Ha.
vcn. The easemith which the bonds of
purely speculative railroads were then ne-
gotiated, and the facility with which towns
and miles, through the flattering exhibits
and zealous efi'orte of contractors and spec-
lators, could be persuaded to lend Mir fi-
nancial aid to almost any new railroad
scheme, satisfied your directors that it was
their duty, in the interests of the stockhold-
ers of- your company, to proceed with the
construction of that part of the Harlem
River and Portchester «Railroad between
Harleleverand New Rochelle, which is
the only section of country, through which
the contemplated op tion road was to
pass, that was not a, sad supplied with
the very best of railroa facilities. For
these reasons arrangements were made with
the Harlem Rivcr_snd Portchestcr Railroad
company, by which this company should
advance the necessar means to construct s.
firstclass‘double-trac road with steel rails,
from the Harlem River -to New Rochelle,.
and there to connect with the tracks of. the
New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail-
road company. . This road is now complet-
ed, and trams commenced running over it
on the 24th day of November last.
This company has taken a perpetual
lease of the road, at a rent which is to be
equal to 7 per cent. interest upon its cost.
The cost of the road, with the real estate
and extensive whsrves and water-rights on
the Harlem and East Rivers, up to the 80lh
of September last, was about $2,000,000.
It will require an additional outlay for
barges, steam-tugs, &c., to make the new
road available as a route for freight between
New York city and stations on the main
line. Your director:- lvwe n.. reason to ex-

some time to come, and La. it :77? so sev-‘
eral ears before it can earn s cient‘lm
you its operating expenses to 'Tmeet the
interest upon its cost. It willbe seen, there-
fore,_that the road was noticonstructed with
the idea that it would prove, for the pres-'
cut, a source of profit to the old line, bill
for the purpose of preventing the construc-
lion of an opposition line, which, though
reasonably certain to become bankru t,
would all have resulted'in depriving the
old line of all profits upon its business for
many years to come." '
The Directors could not close without a
hard hit at the proposed Parallel Road,
which is touched up thusly :—

pose of constructing an additional road bi'
tween New York city and New Haw-"3'

The guests in groups and by threes sud twos
Kept finally coming and steadily"'g0ing.
There were illends whom I had not seen for

With only a careless nod and smile
Every day, perhaps, on the busy street.
And sitting alone in the ruddy fell
Of the firelight now the reception in diet,
I am trying to choose from among‘them all,
The man I would like for my ideal-lover.
There’s Cousin Tom whose brotherly ways
Arc wise as. thoughtful, and kind asheerty,
And Charley Mintnrn whose handsome fees
Is the light-and the life-of every party.
Then there’s Frank Adair, with his grscd'ul

And his wide blue eyes so tenderly lighted,
And Herbert Lloyd whose bold brave brow
And courtly dash might well he knighted:
Ideals _all, in their pleasant way,
And each one worthy a hearts devotion;
Alas l but I have no heart they say,
And so I escape all deep emotion.

“Only a book-worm,” Tom declares,
And yet 1 think it was Tom who brought
him. ‘ ‘ '
Did I fancy ital], that his pale bro'w wears
Not lightly the lessons that years have
taught him; i . ‘ ‘
I know I was awkward; I feared to speak,
He had such a grave, Wise air of learning ;
And here, in the midst of my happy dreams,
Why should his shadow be ever returning!
Heigh-ho-hum ! I am sleepy now.
Farewell book-worm and idle dreaming ,-

How strange is life, a trial and a task,
A masque for butterflies. a moan of pain,
So muchto do and dare, to be and beer, ’

In fortnne’s sunshine, shrink in Ldtunb

And ask of death to break the gelling chain

And yet it seems in some mysterious way,
As though a wild rose brushed my cheek‘to

And Gossip vainly had essayed to seek

And moody air—some ladies of the Court
Addressed him boldly thus (as balfin sport,
And half in carnest):-—“Sirel we all can
