graceful ivy, fair and young, Is
Around dear old ruin twined, r-

When DER it swept the angry wind.
And for time the ruin old ltE
Looked fresh in vest SO soft and sheen,
But oh the heart of stone is cold,
So, haply, felt that ivy green.
Yet dropped it not! With love unchilled,
ll Round every corner queer 'twould cling,
And sportive twined as fancy willed-
The living, loving hayward thing!
Sad sighed the wind one wintry eve
All mournful round the tottering pile;
Some gentle spirit seemed to grieve
Der love that even at death could smile.
But all UNDECIDED passed that sigh,
~ And all unmarked the bodng voice
The ivy true, us fate drew nigh,
But fonder clasped its hapless choice.
While, sadder as the sad winds sighed,
An answering cadence rose and fell,
Deep eehoing through each portal wide
The dear old ruins funeral knell.
Then reeled and sank each lofty tower,
That long erect in stately pride
Had Knocked the raging tempest power,
And times destroying hand defied.
Now, buried meath the Wondering heap,
The poor fond ivy whelmed lies "I
Be such my lot! | would not weep,
But die when all cherish dies. ID

off, This boy, who appeared to be acquainted

became cntangled in the harness, and he fell back
wards his head striking on the sand near the heels
of tho horse The animal became frightened,
kicked fearfully, and was about to run, when ne
was fortunately caught by a person passing BY
and the boy extricatod from his perilous position,
All who witnessed the accident believed that the
boy was fatally injured, for after the first cxca

when asked how he could remain SO quiet IN s9cn

TuE Susp1CIous MAN-This kind of individual
is always smelling a continuous line of rats. lilo
sees, hears, nor dreams of anything in which he
does not sssmell rat" The most harmless ac-
ton of his neighbor, under his suspicious and in
aristorial disposition, made matter OF serious
investigations because he knows there is some
thing in the wind for he saw hisneighbor, MIR. b.,
speaking very confidentially to Mrs s., that very
morning i'm the market. He puts that and that
together, and connects this whispering in the
morning with something he heard in the barber 3
shop some weeks before, and he is satisfied thai
his eighbor b. is either going to fail in business,
or abscond without giving his creditors due notice
The most terrible part of such man S charac-
ter is that he placed such faith upon the corolla-
res he draws from his false premises, that he does
not hesitate to give wing to the base suspicious OF
his mind and frequently is the means of bringing
about a disaster which never would have happened
but for him.
Many happy fireside has been rendered desc
late; many prosperous young man Drought 10
ruin; many virtuous and ainlable girl been
driven to despair by the fendish inuendoes OF the
suspicious man No man, however upright and
honest; no woman, however irreproachable; no
maiden however pure, is safe in the neighborhood
of the suspicious man. He has all the curiosity OF
Paul Pry without his good nature, and the ma
lightly of the devil without his talent.
If ever lynch law is justifiable in a community,
it is exercised on the suspicious man. Rotten to
the core of his heart himself he has no faith IN the
virtue and honesty of others, He exists in state
of continual doubt of the motives and actions OF
others, and in consequence his life is, at the best,
but prolonged misery.

MEN AND WOMEN BoARDERs.-There' s no CAL
culating the difference between men and women
boarders. Here's Mr.. Jones been in my house
these six months, and no more trouble to me than
nv gray kitten. If his bed is shook up once a
week and his coats cravats, love-letters, cigars,
and patent-leather boots left undisturbed in the
middle of the floor, he is contented as pedago-
! gue in vacation time. Take woman to board
and (if it is perfectly conveniently she would like
drapery instead of drop-curtains; she d like the
windows altered to open at the top, and ward
| robe for her hounced dresses, and few more
nails and another shelf in her closet, and bench
to put her feet on, and little rocking chair, and
n big looking glass; would like breakfast about
ten minutes later than your usual hour; tea, ten
minutes earlier; and the gong, which shocks her
nerves so, altogether dispensed with. She can't
drink coffee, because it is celebrating; broma is
too insipid, and chocolate too heavy She don't
fancy cocoa "English breakfast tea y is the only
beverage which agrees with her delicate spinster
organization. She can't digest roast or a fried
dish; she might possibly peck at an egg II 1T were
boiled with one eye on the watch. Pastry she
never eats unless she knows from what dairy the
butter came which enters into its composition
Every article of food prepared with butter, SALT
pepper, mustard, vinegar or oil; or bread that Is
made with Yeast, soda, milk, or saleratus, she de-
cidedly rejects. She is constantly washing out
little buds Of laces, collars, handkerchiefs, che
misettes, and stockings, which she fcstoons up to
the front windows to dry; giving passers-by the
impression that your house is occupied by bian-
chisseuse; then jerk the bell-wirc for an hour or
more, for relays of hot-smoothing irons, to put
the finishing stroke to her operations. She is
often afflicted with interesting little colds and in
Huenzas, requiring the immediate consolation OF
dose of hot lemonade or ginger tea; choosing her
time for these complaints when the kitchen fire
has gone out and the servants furlough.
Oh! nobody knows but those who'ye tried, how
immensely troublesome women arc! ia rather
have whole regiment of men boarders. All you
have got to do is, to wind them up in the morn
ing with powerful cup of coffee, give them carte
blanche to smoke and night key, and the work is
done

How TO DRY PEAcHEs.-Do our readers know
how to dry peaches' Take those OF the best
quality, Just as they ripe enough to eat, naive
them, remove the stones, and sprinkle over them,
in the hollow from which the pit was taken,
LITTLE nice sugar. drv them in brick oven after
the bread, &C., is withdrawn.
They are far better than if dried in the sun, re-
tanning their aroma and flavor, and besides are
totally free from insects. Prepared in this way,
from peaches fully ripe, they need no cooking, but
are simply soaked in cold water. All the sugar
they require (ranging of course with the variety
is added while drying: Peaches mus arlea ;. aha
which thev retain the flavor in remarkable de-
gree. If you perfer, take them not quite SO ripe
and peel the fruit but the flavor is not so good as
when fully ripe, and is dssipated more IN the pro
cess of drying. " ..

| STR1xE OF THE LONDON CABMEN Tho new act
reducing cab fares in London to sixpence mile
caused the cab proprietors to refuse to allow the
vehicles to ply at the reduced rates. They conse
uuently withdrew all hackney carriages from the
streets, and reduced the Londoners, with whom
cabs are necessaries of life, to the verge of nsur
recton Carts, vans, and butchers traps were
put into requisition to meet the passenger trafhc
to and from the railways. The omnibuses mad
raised their charges, and Parliament IN Its wisdom
was debating the question.
Yesterday, says London paper, there was not
a cab in London. The sharp, fussy, impairment
rattle of wheels was nowhere heard. You were
not coaxed with "Keb! Keb!' as you passed st.
Clements Danes, nor bored with cab walking
by your side down Fleet street. The vast space
of Trafalgar Square was cabless
The thousands who had engaged to be OFT by
the early trains, waited and waited for the return
of the messenger they had despatched for cabs,
and only learned the fact too late, or Just in time
to save the trains by running mile or two, with
a carpet-bag, at the rate of six miles an hour we
leave others to describe the destitute condition OF
men of business arriving by the trains, of lawyers
and doctors keeping an appointment or respond
ing to a summons. Every form of substitute was
resorted to not without success. Porters and ON
nibuses reaped harvest. Meanwhile the cabmen
reioccd, the gin-shops were crowded and Jublant;
everybody who seemed to be walking as II ne ala
not often walk, was echaffed' on his sufferngs
Many, without percelVihg tie eaueo' 'uousn'
the streets quiet or dull more respectable than
usual; some noticed the crowded buses others,
the crowded pavements; when the cause ". was :
known the cabmen were discussed some liked
their spirit and thought them i'll used; but all saw
that it would never do for London to be Mt the
mercy of so capricious class. AT last accounts
the sscab question: was the eve OF settlement
bv an amendment introduced by Mr.. Fitzroy, to
charge ono shilling mile on distances beyond the
limits of the metropolis.
