BY PHILo HENDERSON.
In lone sequestered valley, by singing
mountain stream.
Where the laurel bloometh gladly, in the
summers smiling beam.
Stood a vine embowered cottage, which
the laurel when in bloom,
Encircled with It's blossoms fair, and hiled
with rich perfume.
In it lived a smiling maiden. sweet maiden
young and far,
With soft blue eyes and cherry hps' ana
locks of golden hair,
And like the trembling aspen was her far
angelic form,
Her face bank of flowers with a golden
sunset warm;
Divinely beautiful was she, that sweet flow
er Of the vale,
SurpasSing all that e'er was dreamed or
told in fairy tale:
And round my heart her beauty threw
deep aud magic spell,
Like some old wired cnchantress OF which
hoary legends tell.
Twas on a dewy evening, in that balmy
fowery time,
when the chestuu. Is in its blossom and i'll
bloom the mountain thyme,
That seated mid the flowers by the laugh
ing flowing river,
The maiden of the mountain fixed my des-
tiny forever.

That loved her so devotedly never could
love more,
That all my earthly prospects, and my

answered No"
And laughing lightly told me, that " she

10 dance with mountain talrlcS, OF their
golden gifts to dream.
And took my way all lonely, mortified and
full of pain,
Down to the dusty level of the undis-
tinguished plain.
Although we parted never moro to meet
this side the grave,
Still it rar.kJes deeply in my heart, that
last insult she gave.
And though long years have passed away,

The pretty, smiling, winning, SHINING,

How THE DEVIL LosT-The following
is too good to be lost. 1t conveys moral
to those who feel disposed to spread it in the
newspaper line:
y young man who ardently desired
wealth, was visited by his Satanic majesty,
who tempted him to promise his soul for
eternity, if he could be supplied on this
earth with all the money he could use.-The
bargain was concluded-the devil was to
supply the money, and was at last to have
the soul, unless the young man could spend
more money than the devil could furnish

On VS.. HYDRoPATHY-We have on
several occasions invited attention 10 the
ancient practice of amounting with oil, and
10 the fact that oil makers and oil porters,
whose clothing is presumed to be more or
less oily, are often singularly free from
contagious diseases which sweep off others.
An exchange takes up the same subject,
and remarks that, in the East Indies,
children are rarely washed with water,
but they are oiled every day. A ehild's
head can be kept much cleaner if oiled,
than without it; and many young people
with hectic cheeks would probably never
know the last days of consumption, If Their
parents would insist on having their cheeks,
back, and limbs anointed with sweet oil
two or three times a week. The Hebrew
physicians seemed to have considered oil
as more cfifcacious than any other remedy.
The sick were always anointed with oil, as
the most powerful means that was known
of checking disease.-Scientttc american.
