THE GIFT OF LOVE.

"Give me-" said |, 'that ring,
Which on thy taper finger CLEANS
Sweet thoughts to me twill bring,
When summer sunsets beams
Have faded DER the western sea,
And left me dreaming, love, Of thee!'
"Oh, no !" the maiden cried
'This shining ring is bright, but cold;
That bond is loosely tied
Which must be clasped with gold
The ring would soon forgotten be;
Some better gift I'll give 10 theeV
''Then give me that red rose"
Said |, (Which on thy bosom heaves,
In ecstacied repose,
And droops its blushing leaves
If thou woudst have me think of thee,
Fair maiden give the rose to meli
"Oh. no, she softly said
"a will not give thee any flowers
This rose will surely fade
1t passes with the hour
A tadeu rose can never he
An emblem Of my love for thee Z"
"Thcn give me out thy word
A vow of love-twere better yet, "
! cried ''who once has heard
Such vows, can meier forget
II thou wilt give this pledge to me,
Nor ring or rose III ask Of thee !"
sob, no p she said again;
For spoken VOWS are empty breath,
Whose memory is vain
When passion perisheth;
If Ger lose my love for thee,
My VOWS must all forgotten be-
"Then what asked, 'wilt thou
o dearest to thy lover give?
Nor ring, nor rose, nor vow
May from thee receive;
And get, some symbol should there be
To typify thy love for me p
Then dropped hc- silvery voice
Unto Il whisper soft and low
''llere take this gift-my choice
The sweetest love can know ~

And smiling, eave--a kiss to me

A String of Curious Facts.

The following striking scientific facts
were picked up in the course of our
reading from various reliable authorities
We think many of them will be new to
our readers:
The difference between the skulls of
the domestic hog and wild boar, is as
great as that between the European aud
negro skull Domesticated animals that
have subsequently run wild in the for
ests, after few generations, lose all
traces of their domestication, and are,
| physically, different from their tame orr
ginals.
1t is not natural for COW, any more
than for other female animals, to give
milk when she has no young to nourish
The permanent production Of milk is a
modified animal function, produced by an
artificial habit for several generations. -
In Columbia, the practice Of milking
cows having been laid aside, the natural
state of the function has been restored
The secretion of milk continues only
during the sucking of the calf, If the

is only by keeping him with his dam by
day that an opportunity of obtaining
milk from cows by night can be found,
The barking of dogs is an acquired
hereditary instinct, supposed to have ORR
ginated in an attempt to initiate the hu-
man voice. Wild dogs and domestic
breeds become wild, never bark, but
howl Cats, which so disturb civilized
communities by their midnight "cater-
waul, " in the wild state in South Ameri-
ca, are quite silent.
The hair of the negro is not wool, but
curled and twisted hair. The distinc-
ton between hair and wool is clearly re-
vealed by the microscope.
The dark races have less nervous SEN
sibility than the whites. They arc not
subject to nervous disease. They sleep
sound in every disease, nor does any
mental disturbance keep them awake
They bear chirurgical operations much
better than white people
a certain species of fungus has been
known 10 attain the size of a gourd in
one night; and it is calculated that the
cellulcs, of which it is composed, must
amount to to forty-seven thousand mil
lions If it grew in twelve hours, this
would give four thousand millions per
hour, or more than sixty-six millions pen
minute.
Animalcules have been discovered Sc
small that one million would not exceed
a grain of sand, and five hundred mil
lions would sport in drop Of water
Yet each of these must have blood-ves.

Chesapeake and Ohio Canal

At a meeting Of the President and Di-

GENTLEMEN: A sense Of duty compcls
me to call your attention 10 the import
ance Of raising the tolls on The canal TWEEN
ty-fyc cents per ton on coal As the
constitution makes IL obligatory upon the
Commissioners Of Public Works 10 review
from time to time the rate Of tolls adopt

tabliahmcnt Of rates Of which may pre-
vent an injurious competition with each
other to the dctrimcnt Of the interest Of
the State and to adjust them as to pro-
mote the agriculture Of the State. am
satisfied that the freight now charged
or oxacted on the baltimore and Ohio
Railroad are as low a. they can be put

that fifty cents per ton is too great
discrimination IN favor Of the canal. In
conversation with my colleagues am led
to believe that they agree with me On
this subject. The peoqlo Of the State as

Taste in Dress-Harmony of CoIors.

The rules of the contrasts and har-
monies of colors as derived from nature
aud recognized by painters who, from
nature Of their studies, may be consid-
cred the best judges Of colors--are allow
ed to be the following; yellow, red and
blue are contrasts in all their shades,
and the harmonizing tints are discovered
by the union of two of them.
The colors have different qualities
blue is of a cold, unassuming nature
yellow Eliminates, and red warns; yell
low and blue form green; yellow and
red form orange, and blue and red pro-
duces violet; and, though yellow, blue
and red are certainly contrasting colors,
yet still greater contrast to each may be
produced by the union of any two of
them thus, blue and red form violet,
and violet is the greatest contrast to
yellow.
The other intermediate colors also, o!
green and orange, form the greatest con-
trasts to red and blue. Gray and black
are contrasts to white-yellow and a yell
lowish tinge the harmonizing tints gel
low and deep purple are contrasts with
which orange and a pale yellow green
harmonic. The deepest blue is the
greatest contrast 10 orange, and the har-
monizing tint is rcd but bright red must
be mixed in very small proportion, and
not allowed to interfere, but be intro
duced as a harmonizing principle.
Orange and blue, when mixed together
give an olive color, which may be not
unsuitably introduced with the contrasts
Of blue and orange, as it harmonizes with
both red and orange. Green graduating
from yellow to the deepest shade, has
contrasts in red. which should incline e
purple when the greens incline to yellow
green in its deepest shade is the contrast
to bright scarlet The colors that arc
not very unfit to be mixed with these,
are orange, blue, and a small proportion
of yellow, purple and black.
