A Romance in Life.

Mr.. Blank was professor Of mathe-
matics in the city school of Baden,
Switzerland, an6 there formed the ac-
quaintance of a Swiss lady, which ac-
quaintanee ripened into mutual attach
rnent and betrothal. Mr.. B. was o
native of Bavaria. He went to his
native city to procure license to
marry, but the lady being a foreigner,
he was obliged to give bonds that his
children would never be public
charge He went to his friends for
aid, but none wonld assist him in
marrying foreign lady. Resolved on
making one more trial he goes to Baden
and tries to procure the license. He
was told that he must first purchase
the right of citizenship at a cost of
something over $1,000. He wss poor.
What could he 60? He tells his be-
trothed his trials, and what does Miss
Seraphina Faint away suppose she
said The noble woman told him of
America, where citizenship was not
bought but by loyalty, and where
license of marriage were not based
upon bonds to petty corporation

living there | will eome." Mr.. B.
came to Quincy, found that he could
make living and wrote to her that
he would come after her. His afianced
answered his letter, adding that she
would start the next day, saying that
the money he would spend in coming
would be good start FOR them. Not
appalled, by solitary journey of FIVE
thousand miles, she left her fatherland,
friends and all, and followed Der heart
across the Atlantic, into a strange land,
to meet her beloved. That ship needed
no insurance, for angels attended it
They were married in Quincy.
have often thought how few of our
tender ladies that faint before spider,
and positively swoon at the sight of a
horrid cow, would brave such a journey

MEN WITH TAILS. We have prob
ably arrived at the truth respecting
the Nyam-Nyam, or the tribe of AT.
ricans reputed to be endowed with
tails. The scientific world has for
long time been occupied ewith this SUBJ
ject most naturalists, however, have
repudiated the caudal appendage.
But there seems to be a feeling among
savages, that Nature has been unkind
to item in withholding that which she
has so liberelly distributed among
other animals. Some of the North
American Indian tribes supply the
deficiency by wearing bufalo's tail

How THE JEWS ESCAPED. The
following account of the manner in
which the Jews in Damascus escaped
from the massacre lately perpetrated
there, was furnished to the Jewish
Chronicle, London, by person who
had but recently returned from Syria
After the slaughter Of the Christ
ians. the fanatics meditated an attack
on the Jews. When celebrating on
the subject, a Sheik, who is held great
estimation, and whom the Jews had
befriended, strongly opposed the
measure. They allowed themselvesto
be dissuaded for moment. But the
next evening they resumed their de-
liberations. Once more the Sheik
succeeded in dissuading them An
other day thus elapsed for the third
time the murderers met, more firmly
than ever resolved on the massacre of
the Jews The Sheik, seeing that his
opposion wonld be over-ruled, pretend
ed to acquiesce in their determination
and only asked them to ascertain pre-
viously whether the proposed attack
was the will of God. For this pur-
pose he proposd that the trigger of q
loaded pistol with which one Of the
1natics was armed, should be pulled.
If it went off at once, the project met
with the appreciation of the Diety if
not, it was sign. of Divine disappro-
baton SO said, so done For
tunately for the Hebrews, the pistol
did not go off. The fnaticS dispersed
once more. Meanwhile help came.
The mIrderers had lost the chance of
another slaughter

been very considerably advanced on
the nose, lips, hands and face.
In many of these rooms we found
the sides, tops, and some of the floors,
in their finish, have the appearance,
from the smoothness and regularity of
their forms to have been the work of
art rather than some of the freaks Of
nature. 'Fhe walls are usually smooth
and well formed, and some of these
rooms overhead are well arched, while
Others are parallel with the floor, yet
some of them are something lower on
the one side than the other. In one
or two Of the rooms huge rocks had
fallen from the overhead finish, making
the way through the passway rather
difficult. One must look we'll to his
steps, as a number of these depart
ments have pits in them of an immense
and unknown depth. At one time we
came near falling into one of them
after dropping theslight, in our eager
ness in collecting some great curioSi-
ties. In one Of these chambers we
found a large spring Of pure water.
On FIRST coming out of any of these
underground eayerns, We naturally
rush back again for a short distance,
as tho atmosphere ont at FIRST is felt to
be very oppressive, and SO we-natural-
ize ourselves to the open air by de-
grees. 1t ever requires good share
of firmness of nerve, and no small de-
gree of courage, to go far into these
caverns, and we have often found those
who give out after few miles explo-
ration of them But to push your
way and stay from twelve to thirty
six hours or forty hours, as we have
often done, exploring these great dark
and in some sense gloomy underground
caverns, is but what few dare do.

guet's Muuk,
Rock me to Sleep.

---~-~-----~---~----
Backward, turn backward. oh, time in you
flight,
Make me child again, just for tonight,
Mother, come back from the echoless shore,
Take me again to your heart as of yore-
Kiss from my forehead the burrows of care,
Smooth the few silver threads out of my hair
Over nay slumbers your loving watch keep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep,
Backward, flow backward, oh, tide of years!
l am 60 weary of tolls and of tears
Toll without recompense-tears all in vain
RAks them and give me my childhood again
have grown weary of dust and decay,
Weary of finging my soul-wealth away
Weary of sowing for others to reap:
Rock me to sleep, mother--rock me to sleep
Tired of the hollow, the base, the untrue,
Mother, oh, mother, my heart calls for you
Many summer the grass has grown green,
Blossomed and faded--our faces between
Yet with strong yearning and passionate pain,
Long | tonight for your presence again.
Come from the silence SO long and so deep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep
Over my heart in days that flown,
No love like mother-love ever has shone-
No other worship abides and endures,
Faithful, unsslfsh, and patient, like yours.
None like mother can charm away pain,
From the sick soul and the world-weary brain
Slunber's soft calm DER ny heavy lids creep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep!
Come, let your brown hair jast lighted with gold,
Fall on your shoulders again as of old
Let it fall over my forehead tonight,
Shading my faint eyes away from the light
For with its sunny edged shadows once more,
Hap'ly will throng the sweet Visions of yore,
Lovingly, softly, its bright pillows sweep
Beck me to sleep, mother--rock me to sleep.
Mother, dear mother! the years have been long
Since last I hushed to your lullaby song,
Sing then, and unto my soul it shall seem
Wsnanhood's years have been but dream
Clasp to your arms in loving embrace,
With your light laRhes just sweeping my face,
Never hereafter to wake or to weep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rook me to sleep!
