POETRY.
Early Spring.

Oh, sweetly now the seasons change
From dark and grim to ightsome ewes;
The happy birds have longer range,
And later twitter on the ewes.
The face of nature still is grave,
The dint of biting frost is there;
But shining laurels boldly wave
Their welcome to milder air.
The earth looks soft, as if, beneath,
The suns increasing warmth and power
And soon shall pierce the tender sheath
Which holds the perfect snow-drop flower
Dear is the earlies. dawn of spring
This hint of future ecstasy
The thrushes feel it first, and sing
Enraptured on yon naked tree.
l would that like them could pour
Songs sweet as is my hearts delight
And when earths winters all are DER,
| hope to hail a spring bright.

Pride Mortified.

At ball given in Pyrmont, celebra-
ted watering place in Germany, the tutor
of youGg count, Gottingen student, re-
qnested young lady to dance with him.
Just as the dance was about to COM
mence, the lady inquired of him,
"With whom have l the honor of dan
cling ?"
".I am the tutor of Count Z" re-
piled her partner
"And commoner, / presume? ?" she
rejoined, to which he answered in the af-
frmative.
"Oh, then," continued the lady, as she
withdrew her hand from that of the tutor,
'I beg you will excuse me, for mamma
has forbidden me to dance with COM
moner."
This rebuff completely threw the modest
preceptor out Of cOuntenance, for on the
continent to be SO deserted on the eve of
a dance, is to lose caste for the rest of the
night, if not longer. 1t is supposed to in
dicate the existence of some moral taint
| discovered by the person who quits the
side Of another, and which is exaggerated
into something heinous by the company,
particularly if they are utterly ignorant of
what it is.
The young man quilted the room, and
| sought the open air to breathe more free
ly and collect himself.
His pupil followed him, and learned tho
cause Of his distress.
"1ou shall soon have ample satisfaction
for this modification" said the generous
count, and hastened back to the ballroom
followed by his tutor.
The moment was propitious. Prepara-
tions were going forward for another
waltz; the young count requested the re-
jecter of his tutor to be his partner in the
dance, and she eagerly accepted the pro-
posal, no doubt greatly rejoiced at the
immense stride which she had taken from
ranking with the humble tutor to pairing
off with the wealthy noble.
Just before the dance began, he addres.
sed to her the question which she herself
had put:
with whom have the honor of dan
cing?"
with the Lady Won B." she 70
piled.
ooh, 1 beg your pardon said the
count, "but papa has forbidden me C
dance with any but countesses," and in
stantly quilted her side
He had the satisfaction of hearing tha
his conduct was applauded by every sen
sible person in the room.
Few will deny that it was we'll merit

DEPRIVED OF THE GOSPEL BY FOXES.
That was a novel but not so bad an argu-
ment which the mountain member urged
in the Kentucky Legislature.
A few years ago, a bill proposing pre-
MUM on fox scalps was under discussion.
1t had been somewhat roughly handled
in debate by members from the more pop
ulous regions, where foxes were scarce,
and Mr. L, from one of the mountain
counties, rose to reply. l give only his
peroration:
"And we are Mr.. Speaker-we of the
mountain regions-not only to witness the
annual destruction of our crops, but actu-
ally to be deprived by these varmints OF
the consolation of reltyion:9 :9''
This woke the House up, and set it agape
for an explanation. He continued.
"You know, Mr.. Speaker, that we live
in rough country; chat your fancy
churches-your Presbyterians and Episco,
palians-never send preachers among us
We depend for the Gospel upon the cir
cuit-riders of the Methodist church and
sir, everybody knows that they cannot be
induced to travel where there are no chick
ems, and that chickens cannot be raised
where foxes abound ~
he argument was unanswerable, ant
the bill became a law.

ORIGIN OF HAIL CoLUMBIA.-Tho
song of Hail Columbia, adapted in a meas
ure to the Presidents March, was written
by Joseph Hopkinson, of Philadelphia, in
1898. At that time, war with France was
expected, and patriotic feeling pervaded
the community. Mr.. Fox, young singer
and actor, called upon Mr.. Hopkinson one
morning, and said
Tomorrow evening is appointed for my
benefit at the theatre. Not single box
has been taken, and | fear there will be
thin house. If you viii write me some
patriotic verses to the tune of the Presi-
dents March, | would feel sure of full
house. Several people about the theatre
have attempted 1t, but they have come to
the conclusion that it cannot be DONE
Yet | think you may succeed"
Mr.. Hopkinson retired to his study,
| wrote the first verse and chorus, and SUBJ
mitted them to harpsichord accompani-
ment. The time and the words harmo-
nized. The song was soon finished, and
that evening the young actor received it.
The next morning the theatre placards an
nounced that Mr.. Fox would give new
patriotic song. The house was crowded
the song was sung-the audience were
| delighted-eight times it was called for
and repeated, and when sung the ninth
time, the whole audience stood up and
| Joined to the chorus. Night after night
Hail Columbia" was applauded in the
theatre and in few days it was the uni
versal song of the boys in our streets
Such was the origin of our national song,
"Hail Columbia"

SPROUTING SEED PoTAToEs.-The Ru-
raj New Yorker gives an account of some
experiments with potatoes, showing that
''from a whole potato, as a general rule,
only from two to four of the strongest
eyes grow, the others remaining dormant
the eyes obtaining the first start appear
ing to have exhausted the nutriment in
the potato before those slower in growing
had gotten ready to claim their share
The same potato cut in two, three, or even
four pieces, would give about the same
number of shoots to each set, though the
smaller the sets the weaker were the
shoots. To these rules there were some
exceptions, for occasionally most of the
eyes in whole potato would commence
growth about the same time, and a good
many small shoots would be the result
while sometimes a very small set would
give one or two strong shoots"
