Gladly now we gather round II,

Gladly now we gather round il, as
For lhe toiling day is done, ,.i..t
And the gray and solemn twilight ,....
Follows down the golden sun;
Shadows lengthen on the pavement,
Stalk like gianis through the gloom,
Wander past the dusty easement,
Creep around The fire-lit room; ,'a
Draw the curtain, close the shutters,
Place Jte slippers by the fire .oi.5..
Tbongh the rude winds loudly mutter:
What care we ior wind-spite's ire ?
What care we for outward seeming, ..f
Fickle Fortunes frowuing smile, Pr.

Love can human ills beguie.
Meath The cottage roof and palace,
From the peasant TO The king,
All are quaffing from Lies chalice,
Bubbles that enchanimenl bring.
Crates are glowing, music flowing
From those lips we love the best
o! the Joy, the bliss of knowing -
There are hearts on which TO rest.
Hearts that ihrob with eager gladness-
Hearts that echo 10 our own
With what care and haunting sadness
Mingle ne'er IN look or tone. ..
Care may tread the halls of daylight,
Sadness haunt ihe midnight hour,
But the weird and witching twilight
Brings the glowing bearthstone's dover.

The PhuosophY of Hail stones.

The New York Almanac remarks that hail
is chiefly restricted TO the temperate laliiudes,
and in these most frequent during The spring
and summer. Within the tropics il seldom
falls al lower altitude than from 1900 10
1000 ieei above the level Of the sea. The
explanation usually given of this fact is, that
the Temperature, which increases downward
10 the surface of the earth, is constantly so
high in those regions that hail never descends
to lower altitude than that above mentioned
without being melted. The squall Of wind,
which accompanies and ushers in The hail
storm, is, no doubt, produced by the depres-
sion of temperature which The hail commui-
cafes 10 the lower atmosphere in its descent

a lower altitude, instead of melting and COM
ing in The shape Of rain. A cold current of
air'blowing suddeniyTin the direction of a
rain cloud, is understood TO be the immediate
cause of most hail showers. TIE large size
of hail stones is attributed to an accumulation
during The progress of their descent. 1t is
probable thai the largest commences with

to be smaller or the tops of mountains than

Buried Treasures.

The Tiber is not only rich in historic asso-
Citations, il is rich in treasure. An English
company has actually offeredto turn the cur
rent of The stream far above the city and
around il, provided the govenment would
give them what they nigh, discover in its
presen, bed. This would be attended with a
vast expense, bu, it would pay. Treasures
of art from age 10 age have found their way
into the stream, which would bring into the
market perfect remuneration. In the mu-

POKER PLAYMo.--John Green the " Reformed
Gambler" used 10 tell some pretty tough yarns
about the Western gamblers, but the following
anecdote takes the rag clean off his parsmmon
bush We find the article " bobbing around "
among our exchanges, but don't know who is re-
sponsible for its veriication:
"The pokerplayers on the Mississippi River
are, from all accounts, bad customers, and many
are the dreadful stories that are told about them
A party on board of one Of tue Mississippi boats
while earnestly engaged in this famous game,
were much annoyed by q tall gentleman, who
with a sanatmonious visage and hollow tone
preached against the wickedness Of their ways
as be walked TO and fro beside them.
Ever and anon, ia the earnestness OF his dis
course, n~ stopped behind one Of the players,
and, as if TO fs1der his words more impressive,
brought his hand aesun heavily on the table. A
rough backwoodsman observed that this action
was attended with peculiarity, inasmu6h as the
preacher sometimes placed one, sofnetimes three,
and sometimes four fingers on the table,. With
out saying a word, he quietly drew his Bowie
knife, and placed it by his side. Watching his
opportunity when his clerical friend again placed
his hand on the table, quick as fash ho chopped
off three fingers at single blow. The pretended
clergyman started back with panic and alright.
90 Sir said the backwoodsman, coolly wipng
his knife, you may consider yourself devilish
lucky that | did not hold fours, or you would

THE SONG OF THE MASONS.

We meet upon the level and we part upon the
square
What words of preciOts meaning those words Ma
sonic are
Come let us contemplate them-they are worthy
of a thought
With the highest and the lowest and the rarest
they are fraught
We meet upon the level, tho from every station
come
The King from out his palace, and the poor man
For the W one ne must leave his diadem outside the
Mason's door,
And the other get his true respect upon the check
er'd floor
We part upon the square, for the world must
have its due
We mingle with the multitude cold, unfrlend-
ly crew;
But the influence of our gatherings in memory is
green,
And we long upon the level to renew the happy
scene.
There's world where all are equal-we are hur-
rying t'ward it fast
We shall meet upon the level there when the
gates Of death are past:
We shall stand before the Orient, and our Master
will be there
To try the blocks We offer with his own unerring
square,
We shall meet upon the level there, bit never
thence depart;
There's mansion ever ready for each trusting,
faithful heart;
There's a mansion anu a home, and multitude
is there
Who have met upon The leve! and been tried up
the square.
Let us meet upon the level then, while iahoring
patient here;
Let US meet and let us labor, tho the labor be Sc
we're
Already ia the western sky the signs bid us pre-
pare
To gather up our working tools and be triea up
on the square.
Hands round, ye faithful Masons all, the bright
traternal chain!
Yc part upon the square below to meet in hea-
ven again,
Oh what words of precious meaning those words
Masonic are
We meet upou the level, and we part upon the
square!

Some months since man was arrested and

weeks the chap was again arrested for the anne

each offence, he would persist in his vile behavior
The Mayor, after trying for months to reform
him, had we'll nigh given up The task, until one
morning this " hero of hundred fights " (wlth
his wife) was arraigned on the old charge.
Well said his honor" suppose you think |

HE'S COMING.

He's coming! the blushing roses
Whisper it low to me,
And the starlight hastens with it;
Over the twilight sea.
All trembling the zephyrs tell me;
On light wings hurrying past,
Aud my own heart quickly beating,
Coming, coming, at last.
The soft Tipped waves of the ocean,
Gathering at my feet,
Breeze borne from the coral Islands;
Murmur the secret sweet
There's not a dew stepped blossom,
Or glistening orange tree,
But turneth its leaves glee-laden;
To breathe this joy to me.
List that is the sound of rowing
Stealing along the air.
l must gather round my temples
This weight of braided hair;
Aud trust to the growing darkness.
And evening shadows dim,
To hide with their wings the traces
OF tears I've shed for him.

Such is the title of an article we find in an ex-
change, and as it contains some good sense, and
some intensely interesting theoretical consdera-
tious, says the BufIalo Advertiser, we introduce
it TO our rcaaets. And first upon the eubj' ct of
LEGS.
The handsome, we'll developed legs OF the Pa
risian women so boldly displayed to the admira-
tion of the traveller have been attributed to the
dirty streets, by Dr. Atnttt, %lb is au excellent
authority on female and male anatomy. He tells
us that the efforts of the pretty little French feet
to pick their way through the mud, and the hab-
tual poisng of the weight of the whole body
upon the toes, cause q powerful Tnhsttlar strain
aud a CONSEQUENT large development OF the fe-
male calf.
Now this is interesting if true Tho present
style OF skirts, and the universal prevalence Of
muddy pavemonts, afford large opportunities for
the study of the subject and 1t would be well
to watch the gradua1 developments of muscular
extremties, under the present favorable circum-
stances.
We close with the following comparative
statement" of the two methods Of crossing d
dirty street:
/. How then do it in Paris-Mark how with
one hand she gathers up her drapery, fairly lift
ing it from the ground, but still allowing it to
hang with graceful negligence, so rs to show,

the New York BELLE clutching her gown with
her two hands, as If she were afraid Of a sudden
trundling away Of her hoop, and crossing the
dirty street like blowsy country woman fording
a creek The newly adapted female boot is not
favorable, we fear, TO either feminine grace or
the picturesque in woman's steps. 1t justihes a
great deal OF duck-like wading and as we look
upon a pair of female boots plodding through
the mud of New York, we are reminded Of negro
Pompey's legs in pursuit of woodcock in the
swamp The exercise is good and healthful, but
it must be confessed to be rather trying to the
taste for the beautiful.
