BES SIZE .

BESSIE wears gown Of red
A homespun gown and apron blue;
She has no hat upon her head,
And her wee brown feet are without shoe.
Bessie has hair like the sunsets gold,
And her eyes were born from the deep blue sea
In their depths is story told
love Bessie and she loves me.
Bessie's hands are hard with toll,
And her cheeks are dark with the wind and rain
But her lips are rich with the rosy spoil,
That if once taste must taste again!
Bessie has neer silken gown,
Nor crimson hat, nor a necklace fine
But she wears of cowslips golden crown,
That I'd rather than any queens were mine.
Bessie dwells in lowly cot,
A lonely cabin with trembling walls
IT'S old and poor, but she thinks it not,
And loves it better than lordly halls.
She counts the stars as she goes to sleep,
And loves to listen to the patering song,
That, DER her head, the rain-drops keep,
In the April weather, all night long.
Bessie's step is light like the fawn's,
And her voice like the Ginning Of silver bells ;
hear it oft in the summer morns,
But dare not whisper what it tells
Lingering and dying round my heart,
Ever and ever its echoes be;
Who shall divide us, or what shall part7
l love Bessie and she loves me.

WELL SAID.-Question.-What ought to
be done with gentleman who engages the
affections Of a young lady, and then leaves
her?
Answer.-Bless him, and let him CO.
We always think, III such cases, that young
lady has abundant cause for congratulation,
and, instead Of whining and crying over
"spilt Affection" let her put on her sunny
smiles, and endeavor to captivate more
worthy beau. You may depend upon it,
that man who has no more stability of
mind, or honesty Of purpose, than to act in
this way to young lady, is not worth a
tear OF regret; on the contrary she should
be especially happy that she has so luckily
got rid Of a person who, throughout his life,
in whatever he undertook, would unques-
lionably exhibit the same unfixedness Of
purpose and the same irresolution OF mind.
Love is like every thing else; man who is
not to be trusted in that, is very likely to be
unsafe in other respects.-N. Y. Sunday
Times.

CENsURE NOT THE HEART.

SG4tbo&s6 AVA AAA<< A&<-<<<@A'
Oh censule not the heart that loves,
However strange choice we see;
Each gentle spirit knows its mate,
Tho hid from US the tic may be.
When mortals meet, their spirits hold
Communion, in the silent mir;
And trust, and doubt, and love, and hate,
Invariably are awakened there!
Oh let them freely love that can
Our mortal loves will soon be DER;
We cannot know what earthly bliss
Survives upon heavenly shore;
Full many fragile, tender JOY,
Was made for this poor world alone
And whether found, or failed Of, here,
In after-life will nc'er be known!

RAscAL1rY OF HEN--A Spanish hen,
which was great favorite with her mistress,
was accustomed to be fed with dainty
meal every time she laid an egg. Chicky
soon found this out, and would go to her
nest and sit there few moments, and then
come forth chuckling as loud as if she had
performed great feat, and for day or two
got her usual reward but on no egg being
found on several occasions, it was suspected
that Mrs. Chicky was playing false; and
her usual feed being withheld, it was found
that for two or three times together on the
same day she would repeat the dodge of
going and sitting for short time on her
nest, and then come forth chuckling as loud
as she could for her expected reward.-Poul-
try Chron.

The CALIFORNIA CoSpoR.-The high
mountains Of California are frequented by a
species Of condor, which, although some.
what inferior in size to the condor Of the
Andes, is probably the largest bird to be
found within the confines of the Golden
State. A full grown California condor
measures upward of thirteen feet from tip to
tin of its wings and when in its favorite ele-
nent, the air, is as graceful and majestic as
any bird in the world. They make their
homes upon the hedges of lofty rocks, or in
the old deserted nests of hawks and eagles,
upon the upper branches of lofty trees.
their eggs are each about twelve ounces in
weight, and are said to be excellent eating.
The barrels Of the wing feathers Of the con-
dor are about four inches long and three
eights of an inch in diameter, and are used
by the inhabitants OF Northern Mexico to
keep gold dust in.

THE CLOCK IN ST. PAuL's, LONDON
A writer in the Foreign Quarterly thus de.
scribes the machinery Of this great London
clock: "The pendulum is fourteen feet
long, and the weight of the end of it, is an
hundred weight; the dial on the outside is
regulated by smaller one within; the
length of the minute-hand on the exterior
dial is eight feet, and the weight of each,
seventy. five pounds; the length of the hour
figures, two feet two and half inches
The fine toned bell which strikes, is clearly
distinguishable from every other bell in the
metropolis, and has been audible at the dis.
tance of twenty miles. 1t is about ten feet
in diameter, and is said to weigh about four
and half tons. The bell is toled on the
death of any member Of the royal family,
of the Lord Mayor, Bishop of London, or
the Dean of Cathedral The entire expense
for building the cathedral, was over million
and half pounds sterling.
