How to be Loved.

One evening, a gentleman related, in
the presence Of his little girl, an anecdote
of still younger child of DR.. Doddridge,
which pleased her exceedingly. When
the Doctor asked his daughter, then about
six years old, what made everybody love
her, she replied: 81 don't know, indeed,
papa, unless it is because l love every
body" This reply struck Susan forcibly.
"If that is all that IS necessary to be
loved" thought she, 81 will soon make
everybody love me-" Her father then
mentioned a remark of the Rev. John
Newton, that he considered the world to
be divided into two great masses, one of
happiness and the other of misery, and it
was his daily business to take as much as
possible from the heap Of misery, and add
all he could to that ofhappiness. "Now," /"
said Susan, al will begin tomorrow to
make everybody happy. Instead Of
thinking all the time Of myself. will ask
every minute what can do for somebody
else, Papa has often told me that this is
the best way to be happy myself, and !
am determined to try"

a Song of Spring.
Br PAEK BENJAMIN

BI PAEK BENJAMIN
Love and spring are born together,
Twins Of nature, soft, and fair;
Basking in the pleasant weather,
Sporting in the balmy air.
Music Of the birds, returning
From the far.of southern bowers,
Fall the heat with tender yearnng
For the bliss that once was yours.
When we safe and heard, enchanted
Songs Of fond romantic lore;
And TIE fields and groves seemed haunted
With those fairies, famed Of yore.
Happy youth enjoy thy season,
For thou, too, art in thy spring;
Fancy is unchillcd by reason,
Hopesare round thee Bossoming.
Let thine eyes, enraptured, ponder
All that skies and waters bring;
All that nature joys to squander
In the yielding lap.of spring.
Let thy heart, the transport feeling,
Gratefully with love o'erhow;
Like stream that long congealing,
Nlelts now in the sunny glow.
Chorus

Long skirts.

The Richmond Republican has the fol-
lowing in its local department:
"Slnce the developments Of yesterday,
we shall make no more complaints against
ladies wearing long skirts, for we are fully
satisfied of their utility. We became
a convert to long skirts while crossing
Capitol street directly in the rear of a
beautiful young lady, handsomely dressed
in fine silk, who, to avoid sweeping mud
hole, slightly hoisted her skirts, and dis
played not only handsome pair of tiny
feet and well-turned ankles, but-would
you believe it?-the most awful hole in
the heel of her hose that our eyes ever
beheld But no matter-the mud being
passed, the curtain was lowered; and
those who knew no better, would never
have dreamed that was "the gal with a
hole in her stocking" After this we shall
always suspect something, when we see
flowing skirt sweeping the sidewalk"
