THE SONG of COURTESY,

THE SONG OF COURTESY.
By GEORGE MEREDITH.
\ When Sir Gawain was led to bis bridal bed.
By Arthur's knights in scorn God.sped:
How, think you, he felt7
o the bride within
Was yellow and dry as snakes old skin
Loathly as sin I!
Scarcely faceable,
Quite unembraceable:
Win hogs brist!e on hag's chin!
Gentle Gawain felt as should we,
Little OF Loves soft fire knew he:
But be was the knight Of Courtesy.
When that evil lady he lay beside
Babe him turn to welcome his bride,
What, think you, he did,
o, TO spare her pain,
And let not his loathing her loathliness vain
Mirror too plain,
Sadly, sighingly,
Almost dyingly, g@ -... .
Turned he and kissed her once and again.
Like Sir Gawain. gentles should wei
Silent all! But for pattern agree
There's none like the knight of Courtesy,
sir Gawain pprang up amid laces and curls:
Kisses are not wasted pearls:
What clung in his armsl
@. . maiden flower,
Burning with bushes the sweet bride-boWer,
Beauty her dover
Breathing perfumingly,
"Hhall / live bloominR1y,"
Said she, by day, or the bridal hour?"
Thereat be claap'd her, and whispered he,
thine, rare bride, the choice shall be-"
Said she, Twice blest Is Courtesy!"
OF gentle Sir Gawain they had no sport,
When It WAS morning in Arthur's court
What think you they cried7
"Now, lie and eyes!
This bride Is the very Saints dream Of prize,
Fresh from the skies
See you not, Courtesy
Is the true Alchemy,
Turning TO gold all it touches and trieA9
Like the true knight, may we
Make the basest that be
Beautiful ever by Courtesy"

FLYING MAoH1NE.-In these days of balloon voy-
ages it is gratifying to know that the art of navi
eating the air is being cultivated in all its branches
The Mansfield Herald is informed that gentleman
residing near that city, MIR. D. M. Cook, well known
as the inventor Of the popular Sorghum Eyaporator,
gagged in the construction Of Flying Machine. Mr..
G. ia quite sangnine of success, and has filed csveat
at the Patent Office at Washington. We are ignorant
of the details on which his air ship is to be built and
understand that while balloon is to be used for ee
yation, steam is to be the motive power. The in.
ventor is quite sangune that he has discovered the
proper machinery whereby the air can be navigated
at will He has built, or is about to build, q house
for the purpose Of continuing his labor without being
annoyed by the curious. [Cincinnati Gazette

The PRIDE OF GENTILlTY.-I heard story Of
young lady Of the north of Australia who not long
ago married to respectable farmer. Her husband
took her for wedding trip, and on their return in
troduced her to her future home where was a table
nicely laid for supper and two excellent mould can
dies burning. She had no sooner entered the room
than she burst into tears. Her husband, who was a
very good fellow, alarmed at her hystercal sob
after sedatives had been administered to her, she
gave vent to her agitsted feelings and pumping up
her words at intervals, said 81 didn't think, when
left comfortable home and took you for my hrs-
fact that the young lady, who probably was the
daughter of convict was chagrined at finding mould
candles, instead of wax or sperm, on the table.

THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE.

The American Institute held meeting lat evening,
at the Cooper Institute, Gen. HALL in the chair The
business of the meeting opened with the usual routine.
few reports of Committees on Manufactures, Science,
and Arts, were received, but not acted on.
The time of the evening chiefly occupied with a
discussion the report of the Finance Committee TO
whom had been referred nj previous session series
of resolutions nstructng them to inquire into the
financial condition Of the Institute and TO report upon
the reduction of expenses and salaries within the limits
of the resources Of the Institute. The report stated
that for some years past the expenses had exceeded
the revenues, and if some reform was not speedily
adopted the prosperity of the Institute would BE- gone
The excess of expenses the receipts OF the years
from 1855 To 1883, both inclusive, was reported in
round numbers amounting 10 sl2,9SJ. There was
also reported To be mortgage the property of the
Institule at No 351 Broadway, with noe against it,
both amounting TO so 600. The report further
nended that the Office Of Corresponding Secretary
should be made honorary, and the salary OF Recording
Secretary be reduced 10 500 per annum.
The reception Of this report gave rise 10 protracted
and somewhat stormy debate and finally laid upon
the table for future action. In conclusion committee
of five appointed 10 revise the bye laws when the
Institute adjourned.
