VIOLA
BY MRS, AMELIA D. wELBY.


She hath passed like bird from the minstrel
throng,
She has gone to the land where the lovely
belong.
Her place is hushed by her lovers side,
Yet his heart is full of his fair young bride;
The hopes of his spirit are crushed and bowed,
As he thinks of his love In her long white shroud
For the fragrant sghs of her perfumed breath,
Were kiss'd from her lips by his rival Death.
Cold is her bosom, her thin white arms
All mutely crossed Ger its icy charms,
As she lies like statute Of Grecian art,
With marbled brow and a cold hushed heart.
Her locks were bright, but their gloss is hid,
Her eye is sunk meath its waxerNld;
And thus she lies in her narrow hall
Our fair young minstrel-the loved of all'
Light as a birds were her springing feet,
Her heart as joyous--her song az sweet,
Yet never again shall that heart be stirred
With its glad wild songs like singing bird.
Never again shall the strains be sung
That in sweetness dropped from her silver
tongue;
The music is over, and Deaths cold dart
Hath broke the spell of that free glad heart.
Often at eve when the breeze is still,
And the moon floats up by the distant hill,
As wander alone mid the summer bowers,
And wreath my locks with the sweet wild
flowers,
l will think of the time when she fingered
there
With her mild blue eyes, and her long, fair hair
will treasure her name in my bosom,core--
But my heart is sad--I can sing no MORE

SOPHIE'S BROTHER.
BY MRS. G. NJ. RIDDLE.

I reeollect as well as if it was yesterday,
the first time that / ever consulted my mir
ror. / had been listening to some ecstatic
description of loveliness when the thought
entered my mind, "am | beauty" L
retired to my room, and scanned my fea-
lures with critics eye, trying to discover
beauties in face that was, only passable
even when viewed in the most favorable
light. The lady whom had heard de-
scribed was brilliant blonde. / was
brunette, and my complexion in contrast
seemed absolutely swarthy.\ turned away
with bitter disappointment.
Twas at this time inmy fourteenth year.
My father and mother had both Med be-
fore was old enough to feel their l2ss.-
Having no near relations, lived witl my
guardian! He and his estimable wife were
very kind; but they were not my parentJ
and, feeling this, grew morbidly lonely
I sought relief in reading fiction, and lived
apart in the shadowy land of romance
Its delights were to me inexhaustible. In
my hours Of vivid ecstacy ] would weave
dreams for the future, which were to be
redolent Of untold felicity.
This state of things continued till Mr..
Stanton, being about to remove to a distant
part Of the country, the propriety of con-
signing me to the careof Madame A.,
the principal Of oelebnted boarding
school in a anorthern village, was suggested
BY his wife, To this suggestion ] at first
domurred, but gradually became reconciled
to the idea, and when my kind guardian
4eft for the far West, l was delivered tc
the care Of Madame A. for the perioC
Of several years.
[ can still recollect the feeling Of strange
bewilderment with which awoke, the hrs
morning after my arrival | was as ye
alone, though assured of the pleasure o
shortly having companion, | had, will
my usual vivid imagination, pictured
perfect Hebe, when, to my great astonish
pent,- on entering my room one morning,
beheld perched upon a-heap Of trunks il
the middle Of the floor, swinging her fee
back and forth, a great, awkward girl, VIII
with an air Of the utmost nonchalance wa
staring at everything around her. I COOL
told her that she must have mistaken tn
apartment. But no, for Madame A
who entered just at the time, introduce
me to Miss Jemima Edison, as my tutur
roommate. bowed haughtky but sal
nothing, resolved passively to submit
Miss Jemina's society, since it could nc
be helped, for aslong period as she shoul

temptation presented itself to make jealous
that icicle of brother by flirting with
Raymond; but glancing at sophie's pale
cheek, I dismissed the suggestion with
scorn. I believe that Herbert OWNED my
thoughts, for never had he been so atten-
tive. He seemed pleased that should SO
far regard Sophie's feelings, and his con-
versation never before had been SO bril-
liant.

Give me joy, madam, said Mr.. Walters,
the broker, one burning August morning
in the succeeding summer. Il have sold
the Eyrie, as you call it, at last, so prepare
to receive new neighbors.'
'Ah, indeed! we'll, 1 shall rejoice with
you; it will give new charm to the place
to see it made bright by happy faces re-
turned l.
1T gives it new charms for me, l assure
you, to pocket some thousands hard cash,
instead of retaining on my hands an exten-
sivc estate which produced me nothing,
was the laughing reply of the true Yankee.

II DIDN'T SAY BRIsTLEs. The Lou
isville Journal relates the following:
We remember that some years ago, Ro-
ger NJ. Sherman and Perry Smith we're op-
posed to each other as advocates in an Inn
portant case before a court Of justice.
Smith opened the case with ayiolent TRADE
against Sherman'spoli character; Sher-
man rose and very composedly remarked:
"I shall not discuss politics with Mr.
Smith before the Court, but / am perfectly
willing to argue questions Of law, to chop
logic, or even to split hairs with him.
"split that then,'' said Smith, at tho
same time pulling ashort rough looking
hair from his own head, and handing il
over towards Sherman,
"May it please the court retorted Mr..
Sherman, ri didn't say bristles. (

Getting on too Fast.


A Pious old slave had wicked MASTER
This master had much confidence, however,
In the slaves pie,y. He believed he was q
christian. Sometimes the master would be Sc
rious and thoughtful about religion. One day
he came to the old slave, with the New Testa-
ment in his hand and asked if he would explain
passage to him. The slave was willing to
try, and asked what it was.
1T is here in Romans said the master.
Have YOU done all that it tells you 10 do In
Matthew, Mark, Luke and Johnr inquired the
slave, seriously fixing his eve upon his mas
ter's.
NO, haven't
Thea you're getting on too fast, too fast,
mas'r. Gro back to Nhe beginning of the book
and do all that it tells yon Till you get TO Ro-
mans, and then you will understand it easy
enough, for the book says: Ifa man will do
my will, he shall know the doctrine
If any of our readers ever hear anybody ar
guing hard text in Romans, or somewhere
else, and worrying TO know what il means,
just tell this story about getting on too fast

A letter from the interior of Sevas:opol,
dated Aug. 5th, gives the following glimpse
of life in the bombarded city -
sSince the second bombardment there is not
a spot in this town, that is not strewed with
bombs and balls. 1t would be hard to flnd In
the whole town single house that mas not
suffered more or less. The glorious puoiic
library-I allude to the edifce-has likewise
been extensively damaged; but Inc oooks'
prints, maps, and book shelves have been re-
moved to safe place. The news-room, how
ever. is crowded as usual, especially on post
dav. with officers of all arms, who, being re-
lieyed for few hours from bastion duty, go
there to read the newspapers lying on the ta-
BILE. 1t often happens that while they are
reading some very interesting article bomb
will explode with its horrid crack right over
the building, or rocket will hiss past the
open windows. Not a soul, however, turns
his head TO look after it; so much for habit,
which in man becomes a second nature

PROFANITY SOCIAL VICE. What is the
public tendency of protaneness. Ask the
children who surround your freside or swarm
through your streets; ask your servants and
dependents, who dare not do before you what
YOU do before heavens God ask each other,
from the highest to the lowest class of COM
munity-ask, say, who invented the vocabu-
lary of oaths and curses, and will venture TO
predict that not single one can be found who
will claim the merit of originality. Each in
dividual received the contagion from others !;
and certainly, more impressive commentary
on the force of public example cannot be con-
ceived.-S. Ldrned.

FIGHTING WoMEN.-Some of the earliest
notices of boxing matches upon record, singu-
larIy enough, took place between combatants
of the fair sex. In an English journal of
1922, for instance, we find the following gage
of battle thrown down and accepted:
Challenge. l, Elizabeth Wilkinson, of
Clerkenwell, having had some words with
Hannah Hyfeld, and requiring satisfaction,
do invite her to meet me upon the stage, and
box me for three guineas; each woman hold
ing half crown in each hand, and the first
woman that drops the money to lose the battle.
Anstcer. I, Hannah Hyfeld, of Newgate
Market, hearing of the resoluteness of Eliza
beth Wilkinson, will not fail, God ,ciHing, to
give her more blows than words, desiring home
blows, and from her no favor she may expect

Corn in the Ear.

A very intelligent Irishman tells the follow
ing story of his first experience in America ::
Il came to this country several years ago, and
as soon as l arrived hired out to a gentleman
who farmed few acres. He showed me over
the premises; the stable, COW, and where the
corn, hay, oats, &C., were kept, and then sent
fne in to get my supper. After supper he said
to me ''James, you may feed the COW, and
give her corn in the ear" | went out and
walked about, thinking "what could he meant
Had [ understood him!" | scratched my
head, then resolved | would inquire again !;
so went into the library, where my master
was writing very busily, and he answered,
without looking up, 81 thought told you to
out more puzzled than ever. "What sort of
an animal must this Yankee COW be ~ | ex-
amined her mouth and ears: The teeth were
good, and the ears were like those of kline in
the old country. Dripping with sweat l en-
tered my masters presence once more
"Please, sir, you bid me give the COW some
corn in the ear; but didn't you mean the
mouth" He looked at me a moment, and
then burst into such a convulsion of laughter,
/ made for the stable, as fast as my feet would
carry me, thinking that was in the service of
a crazy man.

REGULATIONS VERSUS PILLS.

We are continually asked, What is the difference be-
tween Railways Regulators and ordinary pills
We answer that pills. they are ordinarily prepared
and sold by different manufacturers, generally OF two
knds-those which operate the bowels merely called pur-
gative pills and those which excite the secretion OF the
liver and are called mercurial liver pills. Radways
Regulators resemble pills merely in shape but der IN every
other characteristic.
They only the bowels, but on the liver skim
