DELAY.

The golden hours are feeting, Jane;
The summer sweets are on the wane;
With brown is tinged the waving grain,
Then why, o why, delay?
There's anger in the word, my love,
For life must ever onward move;
Its sands this truth too surely prove,
BY running out Away.
The fruit is on the bending bough,
But buds were there when first my VOW
Was breathcd to thee. Then answered thou
There skaN be no delay.
Yet feathered broods since then have flown,
The black bird sings with mellowed tone,
The fr-tree drops its dusky cone,
Full oyer-ripe to-day.
The soft air rustes through the wheat
As though to test, by contact sweet,
If autumn will its task complete,
TO ripen-nOt delay.
Amidst the stems, the corn flowers lie.
Their blue eyes watching peoples nigh;
But neither boomed, dear love, when [
Confessed to thee in May.
Come, an thou low st me, come with me;
The bells shall wake with marriage glee,
The clerk and pars6n clink their fee,
And both Of them shall say:
"Was ever such poor guerdon given
For licensing a man to heavenW
But bless them BOTH for they have riVen
The monster called-Delay.

ELECTRICITY IN CATs.-The extraordinary cleo
trical character Of the cat is well known. On a
cold bright day, if cat be strokcd the hairs OF the
fur brstle up and electrical sparks issue theretrom
accompanied with slight cracking. 1t appears,
too that the animal may be so surcharged with
electricity that it will give severe shock to the
holder In order to obtain this result, the cat
should be placed on the knees and one hand APP
piled to its breast while the other is employed in
stroking its fur Cracking and sparkes soon
make their appearance, and in short time, if the
party continues to stroke the animal he will receive
sharp electrical shock tina. may be felt above the
wrists. The cat seems to suffer as much as the
experimental, for on giving forth the shock, she
springs to the ground in terror, and seldom Will
permit a repetition of the same process.

\ STREAK AHEAD OF NoAH.-A dispute once
arose between two Scotchmen named Campbell and
Mclean, upon the antiquity of their families. The
latter would not allow that the Campbells had any
right to rank with the McLcans in antiquity who,
he insisted, were in existence ~;s-efan from tie

asked him if the clan of Mclean was before the

Campbell.

'!Noahs ark rotorted Mclean in contempt
'wha ever heard of Mclean that hadna beat O.
his ain ?"
