UNDER THE VIOLETS.
BY o. W. HOLMES.

Her hands are cold her face is white;
No more her pulses come and go;
Her eyes are shut to life and light
Fold the white vestures, snow on snow,
And lay her where the violets blow.
But not beneath craven stone,
TO plead for tears with alien eye;
A slender cross of wood alone
Shall say, that here maiden lies
In peace, beneath the peaceful skies.
And gray old trees of hugest limb
Shall wheel their circling shadows round
To make the scorching sunlight dim
That drinks the greenness from around,
And drop their dead leaves on her mound.
When Ger the boughs the squirrels run,
And through their leaves the robins call,
And ripening in the autumn sun
The acorns and the chestnuts fall,
Doubt not that she will heed them all.
For her the morning choir shall sing
Its mathis from the branches high,
And every minstrel voice of spring,
That thrills beneath the April sky,
Shall greet her with its earliest cry.
When, turning round their dial-track,
Eastward the heightened shadows pass,
Her little mou ners clad in black;
The crickets, sliding through the grass,
Shall pine for her an evening mass.
At last the rootlets of the trees
Shall find the prison where she lies,
And bear the buried dust they seize
In leaves and blossoms to the skies,
So may the soul that warmed it rise!
If any, born OF kindlier blood,
Should ask, What maiden lies below?
Say only this: A tender bud,
That tried to blossom in the snow,
Lies withered where the viOlets blow.

The joyful Spring once more with chapie's cro"heu
Has poured her choicest blessings all around;
Each silent valley and each verdant lawn,
Enriched with flowers look beautious as the dawn
Demure and modest, here the violet grows,
Tn wonder garden blooms the blusbing rose;
TO these the lilac adds her fragant power
of perfume cherished by the sun and shower
Reyiving Flora walks the earth queen
Of kingdoms peerless as fairy scene;
Far DER the hills. in many graceful line,
The rainbow blossoms of the orchards shine
How softly mingled all their tints unite,
Embalm the breeze and bless the graceful night;
TSweet music too, is heard from flower and tree,
The breeze, the birds, the murmur Of the bee;
And down the cliff where rocks oppose IN vain,
Runs the clear stream in music to the PLAIN
In noisy groups far from their Southern home,
Now round the lofty splre the swallows roam,
The fearless robbin builds with glossy leaves
His fragile nest beneath the farmers caves.
Embowered in shade the partridge makes her pea'l
With silken moss Ger tender osiers spread;
Each happy bird expands his dappled wings
Scars with his gentle mate and sweetly sings;
The sounds ofjoyful husbandry arise,
In pleasing murmurs to the pale blue skies;
Shrill floats the plowmans whistle whilst he speeds
Along the yielding earth his patient steeds,
Joyful the life which tills the genial soil,
And sweet the profits of the farmers toll;
Content, as smiling as cberub's face,
Keeps joyful vigils round his dwelling place,
And gentle Hope and Love forever bright,
Shining like seraphs in their bowers of light,
Salute each morning and embalm each night.

"Well these French are luxurious people.
Then, with true Yankee curiosity, and the
feeling that be could afford whatever any one
else did, walked in and demonded "wine bath. y
"Feeling wonderfully refreshed after it, and
having to pay but FIVE francs, he asked, in some
astonishment, how a wine bath could be afford
ed so cheaply. His sable attendant, who had
been slave in Virginia, and enjoyed sly bit
of humor, replied: Oh, masss, we just pass it
along into anudder room, where we glib baths

Scottish Servants in the OIden Time.

The charge these old domestics used to take
of the interests of the family, and the cool way
in which they took upon them to protect those
interests, sometimes led to very provoking, and
sometimes to very ludicrous exhibitions OF i'm
portance. A friend told me of dinner scene
illustrative of this sort of interference which had
happened at Airth in the last generation. Mrs.
Murray, of Abercairney, had been amongst the
guests, and at dinner one of the family noticed
she was looking for the proper spoon to help
herself with salt. The old servant, Thomas, was
appealed to, that the want might be supplied
He did not notice the appeal. 1t was repeated
in more peremptory manner, Thomas, Mrs.
Murray has not salt spoon;" to which he re.
piled most emphatically time Mrs. Mur-
ray dined here we lost salt spoon"
have heard of an old Forfarshire lady who,
knowing the habits of her old and spoilt servant,
when she wished for note to be taken without
loss of time held it open and read it over to him,
saying, "There, moo, Andrew, ye ken e. that's
int; moo, dinna stop to open it, but just send it
af."
Of another servant, when sorely tried by an
unaccustomed hustle and hurry, very amusing
anecdote has been recorded. His mistress wo-
man of high rank, who had been living in much
quiet and retirement for some time, was called
upon to entertain very large party at dinner.
She consulted with Nichol, her faithful servant,
and all the arrangements were made for the
great event. As the company were arriving,
the lady saw Niohol running about in great agi-
tation, and in bis shirt sleeves. She remonstra.
ted, and said as the guests were coming in he
must put on his coat. "Indeed, my lady," was
his excited reply, Indeed, there's sac muckle
rinDing here and running there, that Pm just dis
trsckit. l hae cast'n my coat and waistcoat, and
faith dinna ken how lang l can thole (bear) my
breeks"
There was waggish old man-cook at Dun
trDne for sixty years. and during three genera
tions of its owners. In 1896, when his master
was skulking, John found it necessary to take
another service, and hired himself to Mr. Wed.
derburn, of Pearse; but be wearied to get back
to Duntrupe. One day the Laird Of Pearse OBJ
served him putting spit through peat Gt may
have been for the purpose of cleaning it) be that
as it may, the Laird inquired the reason for so
doing, and John replied, "Indeed, sir, am just
going to roast peat, for fear forget my trade"
At the end of the two years he returned to Dun
trune, where he continued to exercise his calling
till near the close of life.-Ran,say's Scottish

asked the question: Can man see without

THE SECRET PoIIoE.-A letter from Italy,
written while Louis Napoleon was there says I:
at was curious TO see the movements OF the
gentlemen composing the secret police OF his
Majesty, and more curious still to study the
personages The chief is handsome man, a
bout forty years of age, and is decorated with
the Legion of Honor He has a large, square
built, powerful frame, with dark hair and eyes,
dark skin and rnddy cheeks. He wears small
moustacbe and imperial, and although he has q
military air, might pass for the rich manufac'
turer or the busy agent of some great company.
Without an exaggeration, he is as shrewd look
ing man as ever saw ; his small, dark eyes are
constantly moving from side to side, under the
shade of hat with an questionable broad
brim: no man near the circle of his movement
escapes his scrutiny. The confederates which
the chief has with him here are study on ac-
count of their nultiform characters and visages.
Not one of them looks like Frenchman. One,
q tall, elegant young mau, with tiaxen hair aud
,noustache. would pass for Russian or North :
ern German. He speaks variety oflangusges.
With him there sits an old farmer looking gen.
tleman, who, when he talks, convinces you
very soon that you have fallen in with shrewd
politician and q cunning old fox, who is only in
trayestie in his simple costume. Then there is
an enormously fat old man with grey hair,
sbsyen close, on whose visage the finer lines
have become obtuse from obesity, and whose
nationality is thus obscured. He is one of the
most active men of the party. Then there are
two men of thirty, with pale and clean-shaven
faces, except the e-whlskers, who do the
Englishman. The correspondent of the London
Times at this place, tells me that he addressed
one of these men in perfect confidence in Eng-
lish and was responded to in the same language
but with a German accent. There are still
Others of these men, whose gentlemanly appear
ance and business air would totally preclude the
SUSPICION of their true character. Alessandre
