The Rose and the Lilly.

In that perfect and peerless paradise
the fair and fruitful Eden, Natures first
fair bower, grew Royal Rose full of
such sovereign beauty. that she became
Queen, not only IN her own right but by
general consent of all the flowers--all save
one.
The blue, Harebell, the red Carnation,
the purple Violet, snow white Camelia and
sapphlre-hued Hyacinth, knelt before her
crimson throne, acknowledged her reign.
and vowed her most loyal allegiance for
eyer-a-day.

ly Lily. She would not humble her pride
10 pay any homage TO any one-and
especially one of parentage SO mean

Thorn! SHE waste her high constancy
on one, who though beautiful enough, had
too many familiar favorites! No, / was
like casting pearls before swine. Besides
she did not see the shadow of a reason in
calling her Queen and with a look of su-
per5 disdain, the lofty Lily turned from
the flushed Rose.

What he might have been.

]. G.. Holland, editor of the Springfield
Republican, has been rusticating in Yer
mont, looking around among the farmers.
and writes to that sheet as follows:
| Imagine your correspondent imagining
| the life he might have led, (and came very
near leading for that matter among the
hills as d farmer. He would have grown
up stalwart and strong, with horny hands,
and face as black as the ace OF spades.
He would have taught school winters, Gas
he did, } worked on the farm summers, and
gone out haying for fifteen DAYS in July,
at dollars day, and taking for pay the
iron work and running gears Of a wagon.
At two aud twenty, or hereabout, he
would have begun 10 pay attentions 10 a
girl with \ father worth two thousand dol
lars, and spit-curl Oh her forehead-a
girl who always went TO singing school,
and " sat in the seats" and sung withcu:

girl any way. Il would have been a strife
between him and Tom Butts 10 see which
would have her. Well, after seeing her
home from singing one or two sea-
sons, (Tom Butts being triuInphautly "cut
OUT and taking her 10 the fourth of Ju-
" and getting about hundred dollars to-
gether, he would have married her, and
settled down. Years would have passed
away, and that girl with spit-crrl, would
have had eleven children, just as sure as

BB@ @Pierpont, the poet of palestine"
was at Niagara, a summer or two ago,
and It was beautiful sabbath morning
when he went out to worship, where the

One of those officious, silly creatures
whose religion consists in a straight-bo
led coat, an occupied pew, and two ser
mons a week, posted after the poet like a
missionary after heather. His soul
what little he had was crooked up into an

EsJAn anecdote is related Of King
George the IiIrd. When the great run
commenced on the Bank of England, in
1897, Coutts was his private banker, and
had 100000 IN silver belonging to the
King; he was afraid tha; Coutts would
stop specie payment. So he sent in great
alarm to Coutts for his coin. Coutl5 at
once hired car-man, loaded up the box
es, and brought it to the Kings palace
who would only deliver II 10 the King
himself He came to the court yard, saw
the carman and his heavily laden boxes,
and told him 10 take them back 10 the
back-he was now satisfied that the bank
was good Thus his confidence was re-
stored.

Governor D., Of no matter what
State, was a plain farmer+like man.
in fact; aside from his political Office,
his profession was that Of afarmer.-
He had an orchard behind his house,
to which he paid a great deal Of atten-
ton. In personal appearapce the
Governor was not very prepossesing.
He was tall and gaunt, and when about
his work Was generally in the habit Of
wearing faded dressing gown, which
was Of exceeding length, coming nearly
to his feet. It chanced one day that q
gentleman, fashionably dressed, called
at the Governors residence and in
quired for him. He was in quest Of a
certain Office which lay in the Cover
nor's gift
sIIe is not at home just at present,
said Mrs. D., "but if you viii come in
and take a seat, no doubt he win be
along soon.
The visitor accepted the invitation,
sndseating himself ia the plain sitting
room, entered into conversation with
the Governors lady.
