Kisses.
Kiss me quick, kiss me nice,
Kiss me once, kiss me twice;
Kiss me often, kiss me long,
Kiss me boldly, is "Birdie’s" song.
Hold me tight in fond embrace.
Mouth to mouth, face to face;
Sparkling eyes, blue as skies,
Speaking love that never dies.
Ruby lips .in passion meet.
Glued together with nectar sweet
See ted breath of lilie’s flower,
Intoxicatcs with Cupid’s power.
Roguish dimples on rosy cheek,
Blushes, playing hide and seek;
Honey kisses, often given, '
Love tokens so sweetly riven. .

A Clever Doctor.
About twenty years ago Hon and Rev.
Edward Lambert, a clergyman of the church
of England, found that his health was grow-
ing infirm, a moral and ' physical languor
seemed to take possession of him—that Eng-
lish melancholy which comes, no one knows
why or Wherefore, and he could not shake it
off. Young, rich, handsome, eloquent, sure
of preferment in the church—what was the
matter with Hon and Rev. Edward Lam—
bert ? -
He did what all Englishmen do when othe
remedies fail—he crossed the channel.
He thought he would seek the rays of the
sun, that luminary so scarce in England.
Perhaps it was the sun that he needed.
So one fine day he sailed for France, and
soon found himself at Roucn,where he stayed
for some’days, taking every morning a Walk
around the cathedral, carrying a volume of
Dante under his arm. ‘
One afternoon he walked up the Mont St.
Catherine, and seating himself on ,the grass
gravely devoted himself to thedivine comedy
He had scarcely lost himself in Dante’s state-
ly measures, when a stranger approached,
and with the most perfect courtesy addressed
him, asking if he were an Englishman, and
if so, if he would permit a few minutes con-
versation. ,
"I wish to perfect myself in your language,”
said the stranger, smiling, “and I always
seize every opportunity to talk to an English-
man.” '
“You already speak the language fluently,”
said Mr. Lambert, politely; "sit down, mon-
sieur.
. Resting on the turf, with a glorious view
before them, the two young men soon found
themselves talking glibly of the news of the
day, of Dante, of religion, politics and the
' weather. The Frenchman was very agreea-
ble, well educated and up to the times on all
points; he immediately told Mr. Lambert that
he was a doctor and practicing his profession
at Rouen.
It was natural. that the young clergyman
should speak to him of his own case, which
he did freely, asking the doctor’s advice.
The'doctor became extremely interested,
and, upon examining Mr. Lambert’s tongue
and pulse, gave him a prescription.
They walked together to Bouen, and Mr.
Lambert then noticed that the doctor had a
beautiful white dog, a pointer,which gambol-
ed around his master's heels.
They separated as they reached the city,
the doctor to go. and see his patients, the
clergyman to seek an apothecary, where he
got his prescription prepared. -
The next morning Honorable and Reverend ,
Mr. Lambert was better. The doctor’s pre-
scription had made him sleep. It had given
him strength; he felt an appetite for break—
fast. Months of treatment in London at the
hands of the best physicians had not done
this for him. .
He ‘wished to thank and remunerate the
doctor, when he remembered that he did not
know his name. Instinct told, him however,
that he might meet him again on the Mont
St. Catherine. So with renewed hope,
health and energy, he walked again to the
top of the hill. In five minutes he was join-
ed by the French doctor and his dog, who
came bounding along with his pointer nose
in the grass.
The two men greeted each other with
smiles and shook hands cordially.
“You have saved my life, doctor,” said Mr.
Lambert, with unusual enthusiasm.
“Not at all, my dear friend,” said the doc-
tor; “I only give you a good tonic, which
also made you sleep. I found out (what none
of my English brothers in medicine seem to
have found out) that you have nothing the
matter with you. Your system needs alittle
jogging, that is all. Railroad travel, my dear
friend, will soon set you up. Now, I dare
say you have been leading a very easy and
sedentary life; now, havn’t you.
“It is true, I have.”
“Take my advice, travel, ride day and
night; take no medicine except these syrups,
which I will give you; seek adventure, lead
a more varied existence, and, my friend—you
are all right.”
Now came the delicate question of money,
and the Englishman felt for the proverbial
guinea. ' ‘
He tendered it to the French doctor, who
langhingly pushed it away with a very soft
well -formed. white hand.
"Never, never,” said he. "For so light a
service permit me to make my advice a return
for a lesson in English conversation.”
It was gracefully done, and the embarrass-
ed Englishman put his gold back into his
pocket. .
“Doctor,” said he, in a low voice hesitating-
ly, “I am an Englishman, and I hate to be
under an obligation; you have lifted a load off
of my heart which has hung.there for six
months ; you have made a new man of me.
New allow me to be of someservice to you.
I leave here by rail at 1 o’clock tomorrow
.morning for Paris, until then I am at your
service-and forever after. - Can I do any-
thing for 'you i’”
The doctor reflected a moment and looked
at his dog.
“I don’t know, indeed, and yet I do happen
to think of one thing. You might save me a
trip to Paris, which with my engagements is
just now inconvenient. But it is asking too
much perhaps.”
“What—how—too much l” said the clergy-
man.
“Well, I have a number of sick people un-
der my charge whom I treat for diseases of
the brain. One of these is a very rich wo-
man, who is slightly deranged. I hope to
have her cured. Unhappily, she has deter.
mined to return to Paris, and I have no au-
thority to detain her. Iperceive she will fret
until this caprice is gratified. I must go With
her to place her in charge of friends, and I
have been putting off from day to day, be-
cause I cannot leave my other patients; the
duty of taking her home. Now,if you would
escort her, it would be a real service." said
the doctor.
“My dear sir, a crazy young woman, at 1
o’clock at night, and I a clergyman of the
Church of England,” said Mr. Lambert, for-
getting his late gratitude.
.“Oh, she is forty-six, my dear sir, and her
mania is a very’quiet One. She looks and acts
like 0 sheep, poor woman, and she will
scarcely speak to a stranger. I do not know
that she will go with you. The hour is
rather early—one in the morning—but still,
I might ask her, audit will be a real favor to
me."
“Bring her along. doctor I" said the clergy-
man, ashamed of his own reluctance; “bring
her along—a sheep and forty-six; I will take
care of your patient to Paris I"
of the city. Before separating, the doctor
gave his card to Mr. Lambert.
“Au revoir,” said he, “and perhaps adieu,
my dear sir. Let me hear from you from
time to time, and I 'hope that if we never
meet again that you will retain, as I shall do,
an agreeable recollection of your acquaint-
ance. I may‘ not see you again, as my
friend may not be willing to go with you-—
adieu ! ~
Mr. Lambert glanced at the doctor's card,
feeling anew the embarrassment of the possi-
ble night journey with an insane woman, and
regretting his promise in spite of his grati-
tude.
He read on the card :
“Dr. De La Belle, Rue Antoine, No. 11.”
Mr. Timbert walked through the Rue An-
toine and stopped at No. 11. It was a large
handsome house, with the announcement in
black letters on a brass plate, “Docteur De
La Belle."
At 1 o’clock in the morning Mr. Lambert
waited with some anxiety in the depot the
arrival of the train. Dr. De La Belle had
not arrived. The English clergyman rubbed
his hands with great satisfaction—for he did
not care for this particular responsibility—
when some one touched him lightly on _the
shoulder.
It was the doctor.
Seated on a bench was a lady in black,with
her veil drawn over her face. .
"I have taken a coupe,” said the doctor,
"so you will not be incommoded by other
travelers. Here is mademoiscllc’s purse,
ticket and little traveling satchel; perhaps
she will need something. Have the kindness
to show her ticket to the conductor. I have
telegraphed to Paris to her friends, who will
meet her at the station. She is as quiet as a
dove. Should you find her agitated give her ,
a drop of this essence on sugar ; here is the
bottle. Monsieur Lambert, Mademoiselle.”
He then helped along the invalid lady, and
put her inacorner of the coupe. He then
after arranging her with great kindness,
stepped out, held Mr. Lambert by the hands,
and talked with French effusion, as the ofli.
cials hurried passengers out and in. “I trust
you will have no trouble; adieu,” said he,
giving a final word of kindness to his fair pa-
tient, and arranging her footstool.
“Oh, no! I dare say not," said Mr. Lam-
bert, bowing to the lady and taking his seat
by her side.
“But what a powerful odor there is in the
'coupe; will it not disturb the lady ?”
“Oh, no i I think not,” said Dr. De Belle;
“I broke a bottle of cologne as I was helping
her in. It will all disappear in a few min-
utes.” ‘
The train departed, and Mr. Lambert, who
felt exceedingly wide awake, and who found
Dr. De La Belle’s cologne very strong, tried
to draw his fair friend in a conversation. She
was separated from him We high basket of
flowers, the doctor’s last attention.
The poor insane woman would not answer
a word, and from her immovable calm, Mr.
Lamber't concluded that she was asleep.
When they arrived at Paris,he determined
that she should speak. .
“Mademoiselle," said he, in a loud voice
“do awaken and listen to‘ me ; I must leave
you for a moment,‘ to go and find your
friends.”
He sought a long time,'but could not find
anybody who wanted a lady from Rouen.
He came to back to the carriage very dis-
contentedly, when to his intense astonish-
ment, he found a crowd around the compart-
ment, where the lady still sat. He went
forward to see what was the cause of the ex-
mentl. ’ '
“Are you the man who traveled from Rouen
in this coupe ?” said a policeman.
“Yes.”
“Do you know that lady ,is dead? You
have poisoned her with prussic acid 1’ She
has been dead four hours." And the populace
groaned.
The clergyman was speechless with horror.
He tried to clear himself with all the earnest-
ness of an innocent man, but his story was a
most improbable one. The police found on
him the purse of the poor woman and a bottle
containing prussic acid.
It was the little bottle which Dr. De La
Belle had forced upon him on the train.
Mr. Lambert, stunned, half, dead, allowed
himself to be carried to prison without re—‘
sistance—he was past that. A day later he
said: ‘ I
"Take me to Roueu; I will unmask the
villain; he can never face me.”
Two sergeants de ville, with other employ-
es of the police in plain clothes, attended his‘
dangerous criminal to Rouen in the railway,
and drove to the house of Dr. De La Belle.
Mr. Lambert was sure that at the sight of his
face the assassin doctor would confess all.
Dr. De La. Belle was engaged at that mo-
ment,and kept him some time waiting. When
at last the police began to be troubled, the-
head sergeant bade then be calm. “The
house is guarded,"'said he, “he Cannot es-
cape.” '
. Presently there entered a calm, elderly
gentleman, with spectacles,which he removed
as he looked at them.
“I beg pardon for keeping you waiting,"
said be, “but did you want me? I am Dr. De
La Belle. ”
Mr. Lambert trembled from head to foot.
An abyss opened before him, of which he
could not see bottom. This was not at all
the man whom he had met on Mont St. Cath-
erine.
“You are not Dr. De La Belle 1” said the
unhappy man.
“I think I can prove that I am,” said the
suave old doctor, smiling.
Alas! everything was against him. The
English clergyman had fallen into the most
terrible snare laid by the most accomplished
villain.
They returned to Paris.
"I wish I could meet him again with the
white dog,” said Mr. Lambert, throwing his
hands in the air.
“White dog, did you say i" asked the ser-
geant de ville. ' '
Some weeks passt and the police becam-
convinced that Mr. Lambert was innocnet,
but they'were yet waiting for the real villain.
Mr. Lambert was taken.bllndfolded, and in
the night, to a house, he knew not in what
street, where he, however, was well'lodged,
and where he was allowed to read and write,
but was strictly whtched.
Shortly after his new incarceration a valet
arrived with his clothes, and asked him re-
spectfully to make his toilet. A sergeant se-
corted him to a closed carriage and drove
towards the Champs Elysees.
“Look at everybody who passes." said the
sergeant. ' -
Mr. Lambert looked but saw nothing.
The next day the sergeant, elegantly
dressed, came again in in open carriage and-
by the side of the coachman sat a white
pointer dog.
Mr. Lambert turned pale.
"You have seen that dog before P” said the
sergeant.
-“It is his dog,” said Mr. Lambert.
“Keep calm, and look about you,” said the
policeman. ‘
But they'looked in vain. They sawno mas-
ter for the dog.
_ “On the night that that crime was commit-
ted this dog was found in Rouen, without a
master,” saidthe sergeant.
Later the prisones was requested to make
an evening toilet, and was escorted to a grand
ball in a magnificent house in one of the best
parts of Paris.
' “You are serving the ends of justice," said
the sergeant to him. “Be patient and observe
the guests."
Talking in this way they reached the gates
‘desire to kill him.”
NO‘RWALK,
He was presented to the lady of the house,
who received him very graciously and who
introduced him to her younger daughter. He
talked with her and looked at the guests, but
saw nothing. _
Another week passed. He went to another
ball in the same company '; his young host,M.
dc F., seated himself beside him and drew
carelessly before them the curfiins of a large
window which filled half tfi room.
It was not long before Mr. Lambert heard
the well known voice of the sergeant of po-
lice (who, in the most irreproachable of black
coats and white ties, looked like a Conde or a
Montmorenci), talking to a gentlemari near
him of hunting. ,
“It is a long time since I have followed the
bounds,” answered the gentleman.
Mr. Lambert darted from his seat.
he!” said be. It is Dr. De La. Belle.”
“Be silent,” said M. dc F.”—be silent ;”
and he held him in his seat by main force.
In a moment they were joined by the ser-
geant de ville.
“I have heard him; it is his voice," said
Mr. Lambert, trembling all over.
“Perhaps we are all wrong,” said that im-
perturable individual. “Stay here without
moving. I will draw the curtain; look at
everyone whoenters with alady on his arm;
when the suspected passes press my arm
without 9 word.”
“Is it M. de Bocage P” asked the boat in a
low voice of the officer. “Probably, said the
policeman; “he was the lover of the unfor-
tunate Blanche Villiers.” ‘
At this moment poor Lambert,peeping from
behind the curtain, saw the well-known smil-
ing face and jauntiug figure of the doctor of
Roucn pass, with a young lady on his arm.
He gripped the arm of the officer.
“It is he i” said he choking. The sergeant
de ville drew the curtain quickly. “The
chain is complete,” said he ; “we only wait
for the dog. Mr. Lambert, your imprison-
ment will be short. . One more visit and you
will be free l”
The next day a close carriage with the
white pointer under the seat, called for Mr.
Lambert. -
"I shall conduct you to the door, but you
must enter alone," said the friendly sergeant. '
“You are not afraid f”
“Afraid 1” said the Englishman. “I only

“N 0 personal violence, please. You would
spoil a very pretty job,” said the ofilccr.
“Coachman, drive to the house of Monsieur
de Bocage, Avenue J onephine,"
When Mr. Lambert, pale as death, rang the
bell of the inner door M. de Bocage, a Paris-
ian swell, just putting on his glove, opened
it himself.
He started back horrified, but soon compos-
ed himself.
“You wish to see me sir?” said be.
“Yes. you wretched murderer," said the
Honorable and Reverend Lambert, “I do.”
M. de Bocage retreated several steps.
“You are mad," said he.
“I have come to unmask you, villain
“You are deceived, my brave gentleman,"
said M. de Bocage, and reaching behind him
he caught up a pistol and discharged it full
in the face of the Englishman.
At this noise and the fall of the clergyman,
who was stunned and blinded for a moment,
the two sergeants and several policemen en-
tered the room, accompanied by a white
pointer,who leaped up and caressed Monsieur
dc Bocage.
“Down, Thanor, down 1” said the murder-
er, forgetting himself.
“The chain is complete,” said the sergeant,
joyfully.
“M. de Bocage, alias Dr. De LaBelle,'you
stand charged with the murder of Mille.
Blanche Villers in a coupe of the railway,
which left Roueu at 1 o’clock at night on the
13th inst, a crime which you sought to affix
to this gentleman. (Throw a pitcher of
water in his face; the pistol ball was drawn
this morning, while M. de Bocage took his
chocolate; he is not hurt .”
So Saying the sergeant revived the Eng-
lishman, and took M. de Bocage from his
luxurious chamber towards twenty years of
the galleys.
The wretch looked back
“It was you, Thanor, after ,all,” said he.
caressing the white pointer. ,
“Yes,” said the sergeant encouragingly.
“Had you but remembered to give the poor
thing a pill of strychnine."
Hon. and Rev. Mr. Lambert returned home
much‘ better. He had certainly taken the ad-
vise of his unknown medical adviser,a‘nd had
varied his usual life considerably. He never
traveled in a coupe at night again with veiled
ladies, nor can he ever quite get over the her-
ror of having ridden .from Rouen to Paris
with a corpse. He had the curiosity to take
the doctor’s prescription to an apothecary in
London who analyzed it.
“A powerful stimulant, sir," said be. “We
should not recommend you to use it very fre-
quently: Still, in extreme case of depres-
sion, it might be well.”
Mr. Lambert never lost his admiration of
the French police. They were, he thought,
a very accomplished set of actors.

“Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to
satisfy his soul when he is hungry." (Prov.
vi. 30.) But what can be thought of a
minister of a prosperous church, with a
salary of $2,000, and receipts from marriage
fees, etc., who become a thief ? Bibliomauia
is a form of mental disease whose victim, if
also afflicted with klcptomania, may steal old
books under morbid impulse, and hide them
away, and gloat over them in secret as a
miser over hid treasures. But to pilfer old
books, costly and rare, and sell them at
auction is, not biblomania, nor klcptomania,
but naked stealing, and he who does it is a
thief. And he who has done so is ashamed.
“As the thief is ashamed. when he is found.’
Jer. ii. 20.) It is with deep grief that we
learn that a personal acquaintance, a minister
of our Church, has been charged with re-
peated acts of theft; that before damning
proofs of his guilt he has confessed, and that
in the J ustice’s Court of the city where he
lived he has been fined $20 and costs. If he
had died a few weeks ago we should have
spoken of him as .“a young man of unusual
abilities, culture and eloquence, widely
known and greatly beloved, with the finest
prospects, and pastor. of the leading church

consolation in the thought that he had been

a sadness that has no mitigation, “Alas, my

puzzle to Agent Olmstead. At length Ofll-

in solving mysteries for which he is celebra-
ted, hc commenced an investigation, and at
length drew from one corner of the box a
nursing bottle, rubber nipple and all, which
was quickly filled with milk, and Ofllcer

little animal draw the milk from the bottle.

ANNA DICKINSON.
A STATEMENT OF HER OONQUES'I‘ OF A GANG 0F
HARTFORD OOPPERIIEADS.
("Ithuricl’l in the Boston Herald.)
The great quality of her public speeches is
the fact that she talks common sense, and
knows what she is talking about. More than
that, she has a magnificent courage, which
has always enabled her to say to a mob,
“You can kill me, but in no other way
can you silence me." That is the kind of
talk which, coming from the lips of an im-
passioned and intellectual woman, cannot
be battled with. The frenzy of enthusiasm
filled the speeches of Miss Dickinson through
the entire New Hampshire campaign. (The
campaign following the battle of Gettysburg.)
Miss Dickinson found that everybody went
mad about her,the democrats especially. The
state went Republican,in spite of the prophe-
cies thathad been uttered regarding it. Gov.
Prescott immediatly wrote a letter to J. G.
Batterson, the gentleman who had charge of
affairs in Connecticut, telling him that Miss
Dickinson could carry Connecticut as she had
already carried New Hampshire. Batterson
was, however, more than skeptical. He sent
word back that the engagement of a woman,
as a last resort, would be fatal to their cause
in that state. He thought that Governor
Prescott was crazy about this young and -
handsome girl—that, in fact, he was in love
with her. Prescott was extremely persistent,
bpwever, and finally secured an opportunity
for Miss Dickinson to speak in Hartford
under the auspices of the women’ sbranch of
the Sanitary Committee. He knew that, if
she once had a hearing there, the whole state
would be at her feet. Up to this time she
had been most tenderly cared for in a per-
sonal sense. That is to say, that while
some of her public meetings were extremely
rough for a young girl to handle, still she
was always given a pleasant place to stop, I
and was always surrounded by a lot of the
very best people wherever she went. When
she gar-rived at Hatford there was nobody
at the depot to meet her. She thought this
must be an oversight, and concluded to go to
the house of a Mrs. Olmstead, well known
in that section of the country. This lady
received her kindly, but was surprised when
Miss Dickinson told her she expected to
speak that night. It appears that arrange-
ments for her reception were of the most
primitive character. A small ball had been
engaged‘by Mr. Batterson, and no announce-
ment of the meeting had been made. It was
thought by those in charge of the Republi- ,
can campaign that Miss Dickinson would
have an audience of a couple of dozen of
people probably, and that she would say her
say to them and disappear from the cam—
paign. Through Mrs. Olmstead advertise-
ments were placed in the evening papers
stating that Miss Anna Dickinson would
speak that night. The Times, an intensely
democratic sheet, proceeded to assail her in
the bitterest terms, devoting pretty much all
of its editorial page to this little woman.
The paper said it looked upon her as a fire-
brand of the most dangerous character, that
she had carried the state of New Hampshire
against the democrats, and unless checked
would carry Connecticut as well. It wound
up by declaring that she should be given only
one night in the state of Connecticut, and
that her career should be stopped then. if
need be by the bullet. When the time of the
.meeting arrived the hall was packed, not
with Republicans, not with ladies, but with
democrats of the copperhead order. They
had come there in the spirit suggested by the
Times,and they meant to squelch Anna Dick-
inson then and there. Rev. Mr. Burton, who
opened the meeting,began with a prayer and
attempted to smooth over the condition "that
had been aroused. Miss Dickinson had, in
some way, got hold of a copy of the Times,
and had divined Batterson's purpose to quiet-
ly get her out of the campaign. The two cir-
cumstances united to rouse her to a pitch of
the most terrific excitement. _ ,
“Coming up the stairs,” she declared yes-
terday, “I said to myself: ‘I will make a
speech that will bring these men on their
knees to me hereafter, if I am in San Fran-
cisco and they are here.’ The feeling was not
one of vanity. It was something akin to a
supernatural condition. It was something like
a divine impetus. They had treated me in this
way because I was a woman. If any young
man had performed whirl I had performed
in carrying one hopeless state forthe party,
they would have been at his feet. As it
was, all the dumb protest of all womankind
was aroused in me. When Mr. Burton made
that prayer, it was the final straw that sent
me over the brink. He introduced me and
I was received with a yell of hatred. It was
a bittter crowd, a malignant crowd, just the
kind of a crowd which in that mood I
wanted. They had expected me to try and
soothe them. I began by reading the edito«
rial that had been written about me that
day, and by assailing the writers in the most
pitiless way at my command. In ten minutes
I had that crowd completely in my hands.
Before I had finished my speech they were
tearing their copperhead badges from their,
breasts and throwing them under theirfeet.
Tears streamed down the faces of men who
had at the start looked upon me with the
intensest hatred, and, when I closed, Mr.
Batterson was climbing over the benches to—
ward me, crying at the top of 'his voice,
‘The state is saved, the state is saved.’ I
spent that night, a long and dreary one,walk-
ing up and down my room, trying to deter-
mine whether I should leave those men who
had scoffed at me at the start, and go about
my business, or whether I should stay and
fight for the cause. It was a battle between
personal injury and conscience, and con-
science finally won. In thirteen days after-
ward I lost twenty-seven pounds of flesh, so
severe was the strain of the work placed upon
me. .
A singular thing about the campaign was
the fact that the democrats came to see me—
not the Republicans. Ladies and boys were
excluded from my meetings,because the com-
mittee saw the necessity of having only vot-
ers present for conversion. Yet my balls were
jammed every time. Democrats came to hear
me, believing that they could withstand my
arguments. Nevertheless,~tbat hopeless dem-
ocratic state went Republican at the end of
that campaign.
The result of Anna Dickinson’s labors in
Connecticut was that there was a great call
for her services all over the country. The
next year was spent in fighting fo'r the Repub-
campaigns. She had an offer of $2,000 a
week to s k in Ohio, but the Pennsylvania
Republicans came to her, saying that Ohio
was a sure Republican state and did not need»
her services half so much as Pennsylvania
did. They were willing to give her what
she might want for her services. She thought
the matter over and concluded to go upon
the same terms as she had agreed to go to
Ohio. She went 'up through the oil regions
in places where no man of the Republican
party would have dared venture—where a
Union soldier’s life would not have been
worth the powder expended in destroying it.
In one meeting a burly Molly Maguire, sit-
ting in the middle of a crowd, fired three
shots at her, the last one of which clipped a
lock of hair from her head. Through this
she went wrthout a ‘break in a solitary sen-
tence, speaking continuously, as though her
audience were the most quiet and well-be—
haved in the world. After the third shot the
man threw his pistol down,exclalming: “By
-——, that’s courage,” and on the spot a body
guard of twenty Molly Maguires was formed
to accompony her through the balance of her
trip and give her protection whenever and
wherever sho needed it. For that perilous
campoign Miss Dickinson has never received

I. D. CLARE.-
I am sitting alone in my room to-night,
And my thoughts are so sad and depressed,
For I’m thinking of one whom I love very
much, '
And by whom I am often caressed.
But suppose that I tell you my story. dear
friend,
And then you may know what I mean.
But first let me tell you the name of my love.
Tis the sweet one of Johnny Killeen.
You sec,we went out to a party last night,
And I’d counted on having such fun,
In showing him off to the other young girls
But alas ! there my troubled begun. '
For we danced in a set with a right pretty
girl. .
And although he did look~so serene,
I know that be pressed her fair hand in the
dance, ,
' Did that naughty, bad Johnny .Killeen.
And he danced'and flirted with all the girls
there, 1 . ' .
For you know he’s a terrible tease;
' But 'twas done in a manner so-Very polite,
For he’d always first ask, “Ifyou please?”
That Icouldu't look angry or even refuse,
For of course mum quite so green,
As to let the girls see I was jealous at all,
When they flirted with Johnny Killeen.
But didn’t I read him a/lecture that night,
As‘together we came from the ball,
And the deer fellow humbly apologized, too
Saying hedidn’t mean it at all ;
So now We’ve “made up,” have my Johnny
and I,
And he calls me his ‘lown dear Laline ;”
So you see I am happy, although I am sad,
For I love my dear Johnny Killccn.

Clad In Gray.
BY MRS. CLARA DOTY BATES.
A little housewife busy bee,
Fussy and gray',was she,
Hummed at the clover-tops continuously.
The summer day was fair,
And through the sunny air
The birds on breath of song soared every-
where.
She had nocolored coat,
. No gold-baud at her throat,
Nor painted wings to flutter with or float;
A sort of grizzled fur
Wrapped and encompassed her,
Except her wings of faded gossamer.
Her voice was low and fine;
I heard her drone and whine;
I saw her-heedlass of the song and slime:
And yet it seemed that none
Under that summer sun
Was any happier than this busy one.
The idle and the gay
Went on meir careless way.
Nor noted the little housewife clad in gray;
And yet, I thought, how sweet
The honey she could eat!
How cool the clover must be to her feet!
The wholesome element
0f Labor’s true content
Was through her humble, plodding presence
lent -
To a day otherwise
Given to butterflies,
That fluttered but to vanish from the eyes.
That little toiling bee
This lesson gave to me :
To labor, if I must contentedly.
4 Thus would the summer tide
Flow for me rich and wide,
And harvest, honey-sweet, be mine beside.
A Summer Lounging.
I must away to wooded hills and vales,
Where broad. slow streams flow cool and
silently, .
And idle barges flap their listless sails;
For me the summer sunset glows and pales,
And green fields wait for me.
I long for shadowy forest, where the birds
Twitter and chirp at noon from every tree ;
I-long for blossomed leaves and lowing herds,
And nature’s voicfi say in mystic words:
, “The green fields wait for thee. "
I dream of uplands, where the primrose
shines
And waves her yellow lamps above the lea;
0f tangled copses, swung with trailing vines;
Of open vistas, skirted with tall pines,
Where the green fields wait for me.
I think of long, sweet afternoons, when I
May lie and listento the distant sea,
- 0r hear the breezes in the reeds that sigh,
Or insect voices, chirping shrill and dry,
In the fields that wait for me.
These dreams of summer come to bid me
find
The forest’s shade, the wild birds melody;
While summer’s rosy wreaths for me are
twined, I
While summer’s fragrance lingers on the wind
And green fields wait for me. ,

And half of them, who starved therein, were .

But they mistook pure Mness for talent, un-
