SANDER.

A whisper woke the air
soft light tone and low,
Yet barbed with shame and woe;
Now might it only perish there!
Nor farther 60.
All me, quick and eager ear
Caught up the little meaning sound!
Another voice has breathed it clear,
And so it waniers round,
From ear to lip-from lip to ear
Until it reached gentle heart,
And Mdt-it broke.
IT was the only heart it found,
The only hea I twas meant to find,
When first its accents woke;
1t reached that tender heart at last,
And Mdt-H broke.
Low as it seemed to other ears,
1t came--a thunder crash to hers
That agile girl so fair and gay
That guileiess RI SO pure and true!
'Tis said lovely humming bird
That in a fragrant lily Law,
And dreamed the Summer morn away,
Was killed by but guns report,
Some idle boy had fired in sportl
The very sONad--a death-blow came!
And thus her happy heart, that beat
With love and hope, 80 fast and sweet,
{Sh ined in its Lily too;
For who the maid that knew,
But owned the delicate fower-iike grace
OF her young form and face?
When first that word
Her light heart hear I,
1t fluttered like the frightened bird,
Then shut its wings and sighed,
And with lent sbudder-died!

Madrigal,

There sits a bird on every tree,

There sits bird on every tree,
Sings to his love as I to thee;
With heigh-ho, and heigh-ho!
Young maids must marry.
There blooms flower on every bough,
With heigh-ho!
There blooms a flower on every bongh,
Its gay leaves kiss-I1l show you how:
With heigh-ho, and heigh- ho!
Young maids must marry.
The suns groom, the earth's bride,
With a heigh-ho!
The suns a groom, the earth's bride,
The earth shall pass-but love abide,
With heigh no, and heigh-ho!
Young maids must marry.

SoxE OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF A RUM0R.-
The following curious story in illustration Of Rus
sian military rules, is translated from German
paper: ..
At the time the report Of the taking of Sebasto-
pol was current, rich nobleman from the town of
s.. on the frontier of Galicia, received letter
announcing the fall of Sebastopol, and the burning
Of Odessa. He had at the same moment some
friends with him, to whom he communicated the
contents, requesting them, however, not to mention
it Unfortunately his wishes were disregarded, and
in few hours nothing was spoken of in all War
saw but the burning Of Odessa and the taking Of
SebastopOl The report was carried to Prince
Paskiewitch, who Immediately sent for the noble
man and asked him: "Count, from whence have
YOU this news" The nobleman handed to the
Prince the letter he had received. "There is not
word of truth in all this!" said the Prince. Il
thought 90" answered the Count and | only
mentioned it to few confidential friends, and with
the request not to repeat it" I" The Government
has full confidence in you, and as you have re-
peatedly given proofs of your loyalty" said the
Prince, 1--WE are far from the wish to punish you
for this But desire that you should convience
yourself by pleasure trip to Odessa and Sebas-
tcpo, that this report is totally false" "As your
Highness orders" go to my Secretary and he
win tell you nv further wishes
The Count left and repaired to the Secretary,
who handed him a prepared passport. Scarcely
bad he arrived at his own house, when an aid-de-
camp entered, and announced to him that the car
rage and post horses we're awaiting him. During
the time, the burning Of Odessa and the taking Of
Sebastopol occupied all Europe, our unfortunate
Count was on his unwilling journey behind four
fiery steeds to convince himself of the truth Of the
report He was not allowed to stop en- route. AT
Odessa he was taken to the palace Of the Governor
Who received him very kindly, but Immediately or
dered him to Sebastopol. Here also he was politely
received by Prince Aenschikof, taken everywhere,
and then Immediately sent back to Warsaw, where,
g soon as he was out Of the carriage, he was con-
Quoted to the Prince. who accosted him with the
remark Well, Count what do yon now believe?
Are Odessa and Sebastopol taken?' "Oh, your
Hghness, answered the Count, who was half dead
With htigue Of his hurried journey, /" towns are
a secure, 50 secure that they never can be takenn
10 then, Count, invite your confidential friends
your house, tell them, under the seal of secrecy,
y you have seen, 60 that this day all Warsaw may
know it .ss 81 5.z@ - Gs ss,ssss.ss -.
Scarcely had the Count reached his house, when
tne same aid-de-camp entered and handed him the
oul Of the expenses Of the journey. The unfortu-
nate Count had to pay seven thousand and some
hondred silver rnbles for his indiscretion.
Since this affair, no one in Warsaw tells even ID
his bosom friend, news from the seat of var though
should have appeared officially in Tie public

e Here is queer paragraph of history,
| which, had 1t occurred in one of Dickens
novels, would have been thought an invention
quite absurd. We extract it from a speech
lately delivered by that inimitable author at
an administration reform meeting in London !:
"Ages ago, a savage mode of keeping ac-
counts on notched sticks was introduced into
the Court of Exchequer, and the accounts
were kept much as Robinson Crusoe kept his
calendar On the desert island. daughter
In the course of considerable revolutions OF
time, the celebrated Cocker was born and
died. Naughter.) Walkinghame, of the
Tutors Assistant, well versed in figures, was
also born and dIed-a multitude of account
ants, book keepers, and actuaries were born
and died. Still official routine inclined to
these notehed sticks, as if they were the pill
quer accounts continued to be kept on certain
splints of elm wood called TALES Hear, and
laughter)
I'm the reign Of George Ill, an inquiry
was made by some revolutionary spirit whe-
ther pens, ink and paper, aud states and pen
ellis being in existence, this obstinate adher-
ence to an obsolete custom ought to be contin-.
ued, and whether a change ought not to be eft
fected. All the red tape in the country grew
redder at the mere mention of this bold and
original conception. and it took till 1925 to get
these sticks abolished. (Laughter)
In 1884, il was found that there was a
considerable accumulation Of them, and the
question then arose, what was to be done with
such worn out, worm-eaten, rotten old bits of
wood? dare say there was a vast amount
of minute memoranduming and dispatch box
ing on this mighty subject. The sticks were
housed at Westminster and 1t would naturally
occur to any intelligent person that nothing
could be easier than to allow them to be car
ried away for frewood by the miserable peo-
pie that live in that neighborhoUd. However,
they never had been useful, and official rou-
tine required that they never should be, and
so the order went forth that they were to be
privately and confdentially burnt. Laugh
ter and cheers.) 1t came to pass that they
were burnt in a stove in the House of Lords
The stove, overgorged with these preposterous
sticks, set fire TO the House of Lords; the
House of Lords set fire to the House of Com,
mons; the two houses were reduced to ashes;
architects were called in to build others; we
are now in the second million of the cost there.
Of; the national pig is not nearly over the stile
yet, and the little old woman, Britannia,
hasn't got home to night. loud laughter
and cheers"
