From the Ladies' Wreath.
THE SALE OF THE PET LAMB.
By MRS. soPHRoKIA cURR1ER.

By MRS. soPHRoEIA CURRIER.
It was a fair morning in early June.
The first beams of the rising sun were
streaming through the latticed window
of low thatcbed cottage, dotting over
with drops of shining gold the thick
foliage of the oak which stretched its
great arms shelteringly over the dwell
ling, frightening the eyes of the sweet
flowers which peeped out from among
the dark green leaves of the vine clus-
tering around the doorway, and chan
ging to wave of light the softly flow
ing, ripping stream, which, in its sinu-
GUS course to the Connecticut, wound
past the humble abodes.
Louder and sweeter, as the sun came
up from the east, rang out the notes of
the wild birds in the dark forest, more
merrily sang the robin in the old roof
tree, and right gieefully trilled the pet
bobolink in his cage; and within the
dwelling as the bright beams played
around their little cribs when the fresh
morning air lifted the snowy curtain
from the window, troop of curly hair
ed, rosy-cheeked children opened eyes
as bright as the early flower or the
sparkling dew-drop, and as they leaped
from their low beds, the carol of their
young voices was sweet and merry as
the morning birds free, glad song.
Busily arranging her breakfast table
was the mother of the children, fair,
delicate woman, with deep blue, gentle
eyes, and smile peaceful and happy as
that which rested on the face of the lit
tie cherub to whom the glance of the
mother was SO often directed, and to
prolong whose slnmbers her foot was SO
often touched lightly to the rocker of
the wicker cradle. Her dress was very
neat and tasteful, as was the whole ar
fangement Of her dwelling, though eve
rything told the most strict frugality.-
The children came bounding into the
apartment, with difficulty restraining
their merry shouts when they perceived
the baby was sleeping, and wholly un-
able to suppress loud laugh when Har-
~, the youngest of them, suddenly
found himself rolling on the Aoor with a
cold nose rubbing over his cheeks and
among his sunny hair. That little white
face had, for some minutes, been peep
ing in at the cottage door, and when the
children made their appearance, Cossie
came frisking into the room. Many q
tumble did Harry and the pet lamb
have, to the infinite amusement of the
other children, before the little boy
could get on his feet again, for Cossie
had rather the best end Of the affair.
But the pet had to suffer for all such
freaks--lle was obliged to take his break.
fast cut of -Harry's bowl of bread and
milk, the little creature knew very well
what the penalty was, for when the child

An Aged Prlnier-The Founder OF the
Cincinnati Gazette.

The Piqus Register, of Thursday,
says:
One of the oldest living printers re-
sides in this county, near Tippecanoe.
His name is Freeman. He published
a paper in Cincinnati called Freeman's
Journal, prior to the establishment of
The Liberty Hall, which was subse-
quently blended with the Cincinnati Ga
zette, the name of which is still re-
tanned on the weekly issues of the last
named paper. Mr.. Freeman must be
nearly or quite go years old. The
Liberty Hall and Cincinnati Gazette is
now in its 61st, volume, which makes
the establishment of Freeman's Journal
somewhere about or previous to 1870.
There is food for reflection, in looking
from the present to the period when
this pioneer disciple Of Faust threw the
light of the Press into the wilds Of the
West. From small sheet, not as
large as many of our present most in
country papers, the success
sors of this have gradually grown to
dailes of the first class. A newspaper
is typical of the wants and resources Of
a people. Much has been sacrificed by
the conductors of the Press in making
it what it is, and much is due them
from the people for their untiring zeal
and energy-a far greater amount than
viii be realized from public gratitude or
the most liberal future patronage.

ADDRESS TO THE FLIES


You buzzing, bothering, filthy race,
With open hand I'll give you chase;
You shall not rest upon my face,
As Pm sinner,
Zen should l fail to ask for grace
Over my dinner.
You have no manners; not whit,
Right on my pudding there you sit,
As If you owned it every bit,
The dish and all;
But faith I'll give you such hit,
l guess you'll fail.
Down there you go, plump in the butter;
Now buzz and kick, and sprawl and
splutter,
You're welcome now to frisk and flutter,
And bite, I'll risk ye;
You're safe as drunkards in gutter,
@ Skinfull of whisky.
Mind there, Miss Fly, what you're about,
Phe pot contains no cream nor krout,
And when you're in you'll find it out
1o' By strength of mustard;
But, faith. Pm glad you took that route
And missed the custard.,
With protruding from your pates,
You cling like tsettlers" to the plates,
Especially to mistress Kate's;
But, faith, you'd better leave the States,
Than have her sieze you'll
When in my chair 1 take my dose,
You perch yourself right on my nose,
Or else you creep beneath my clothes,
- And act uncivil;
You would disturb in his repose
The Spirit of all Evil!
You should not bite young lasses so,
Through stocking holes about the toe,
You know they'd blush before beau
To stoop and scratch it;
And knowing that's tender toe,
Please do not bite it.
Your impudence can't abide,
Miss Fly; if you had shame or pride,
Ny pen you would not thus bestride
Without saddle;
And while l write, stick on to ride,
Squaw like, astradle.
OH for one cold December night,
With stormy winds to fercely fight,
To drive these hateful plaques from
sight;
Back to old Cairo,
Where Moses called them forth to bite
The host of Pharaoh!

N A party of southern ebloods'

@ A party of southern "bloods"
came to Philadelphia, and put up at 9
first class hotel. Having room in the
third story, they engaged in spree Of
the most aggravated character. Having
become about as drunk as they very
well could be, they rang for more Ii
quor. A black waiter came up, but did
not bring the kind asked for. So one
of the party coolly took hold Of the
poor darkey and threw him out OF the
window upon the side walk below
Presently the landlord rushed up, ex'
claiming that they had killed his waiter.
"Oh never mind" said the offending
'bloods.' put it IN the bill"

PASSING AWAY.

I'm passing away, the rivulet said,
As it danced along on its pebbly bed;
unite myself with the ocean old,
And sweep DER forms that were fearless and bold,
And then to the clouds I'm carried high
Refreshing the earth with dew from the sky;
Thus the stream sang on, in tones wild and gay,
I'm passing away, I'm passing awayl
We are passing away, the red man said,
As he looked around on the scattered dead;
But few remain, and we'll soon be at rest
With those we love, in the land of the blest;
And the white man then will be roaming here,
Ger this land of ours, that to us was so dear;
And the theme of his song will be in that day,
They have passed away, they have passed away!
We are passing away, is the song that is sung,
From the lips of all, both the old and the young;
That song is sung through the tall forest trees
By the gentle sigh of the evening breeze;
'Tis heard in the North, South, East and West,
'Tis ever told in the land of the best
That the chosen of earth must not here stay,
That they must pass, av, all pass awayI

DRIFT-wooD.
FROM rHE HOME JOURNAL.


The fire In the hut of the wrecker
Cleans out through the darkness of night
From the hearth where the drift-wood upblazes,
And the children sit roundEin the light.
"Now, grandfather Eric, storyP
The children all echo in glee;
" Tell the tale you once told of the viking,
And the drift-wood he cast in the sea"
"There was once, o my children in Norway,
A viking who loosed from the strand,
Bearing with him, in anger the door-posts
OF the temple of Thor from the land.
"And when he lost sight of the mountains,
He threw out the posts on the sea,
And said Il will follow this drift-wood,
Wherever its guiding shall be-
Thus on, day and night, sailed the viking,
While his raven flew high on the mast;
Till one morn on the far shore of Iceland :
The door-posts duplicated at last
HAnd there he again reared the pillars
OF the temple of Thor on the strand,
And there, when in time came his people,
He long ruled in peace DER the land.
And thus in our manhood, my children,
We launch forth our hope On life's tide;
And follow them daringly onward,
How widely soccer they may guide.
"And perchance they may lead us to honor,
Or perchance they may falsely invite
Where at last we lie stranded and shattered,
Like the drift-wOod we sit by tonight" N. :. h
