10 BRIDE The following letter was
written by an old friend to A younc lady
on tbc eve OF her wedding day:
have sent you a few flowers 10 adorn
the dying moments of your single life.
They are The gentlest types of delicate
and durable friendship. They spring up
by our sides when others have deserted us;
and they will be found watching over our
graves when those who should cherish have
forgotten rs. 1t seems that a past. so
CO I'm and pure as yours, should expire with
a kindred sweetness about it; that the
flowers and the music, kind friends and
earnest words, should consecrate the hour
when a sentiment is passing into q sacra-
ment The three great stages Of our
being are the birth, the bridal, and
the burial To the first we bring only
weaknes'--for the last we have nothing
but dust! Bot here, OF the altar, when
life joins life, the pair come throbbing up
to the holy man, whispering the deep pro
mise that warns each others heart TO help
on the life struggle Of care and duty. The
beautiful will be there, borrowing new
beauty from the scene. The gay and the
friyolous-they and their aounces will look
solemn for once. And youth will come to
gaze on all its sacred thoughts pant for;
and age will totter up TO hear the old
words repeated, that to their own lives
have given the charm Some will weep
over it as If it was tomb, and some laugh
over Is as II it we're joke; but two must
stand by IL. for it is fate, not fun-this is
everlasting locking of their livesl And
how can you. who have queened it over so
many bending forms. can you come down
at last to the frugal diet Of single heart?
Hitherto you have been clock, giving
your time to all the world Now, you are
watch. buried in one particular bosom,
warming only his breast. marking only his
hours, and ticking only TO the beat Of his
heart-wherc time and feeling shall be in
nnison, until these lower ties are lost in
that higher wedlock where all hearts are
united around the central heart of all
Hoping that calm and sunshine may hallow
your elasped hand', l sink silently into
signature .H.

GREEK FIRS--The generic name OF
Greek fire has been given to all kinds OF
incendiary compounds enclosed in shells
and thrown into cities for the purpose OF
firing them. There are several patents ont
for these compounds, and the exact method
OF mixing and using them is known only to
the inventors. But the basis of them all
is said to be phosphorus dissolved in bisnl.

LOVERS PURITY Ann POWER. How
bright and beautiful is love in its hour OF
innocence and parity-bow mysteriousIy
does it ethereaize every feeling and con-
centrate every wild and bewildered impulse
of the heart. Love, holy aud mysterious
lore-it is the garland spring of Iife-the
dream Of the heart-the poetry of nature
Its sorg is heard in the rude but of the
poo. as well as in the palace of the rich.
its flames embellish the soltudes of the
forest and the thronged haunts ,of busv
life; and its light imparts brilliancy to-
every heart, no matter what may DO its
condition. Love--pure, holy and devoted
iove-can never change. Friends may for
sake us-the riches of this world NAV soar
away, but the heart that loves will cling
closer, as londer roars the storm. Amid
the wreck Of the tempest it will serve ss q
beacon to light on to hope and happiness.
Love is the mystic unseen spell that soothc,
The rugged tendencies Of human nature
that fingers about the sauc,i.y of the fre.
side, and unites in closer. union the affec-
tions of society. and that sool that loves
truly will love forever. Not like the waves
OF the ocean, nor traced in sand, is the
image impressed upon loving heart. No.
no--bnt it will burn on. undefaceti its lus
tire amid the quick rush of tho Winds aud
the warning of the tempest cloud, and when
our fate seems dark and dreary, then will
love seek shelter in her own hallowed tenn
pls, and offer up as a sacrifice her vows and
affections.

By FINLEY JoHNSox.


Tis ten long years since first We met,
Yet still dream Of thee,
Forgetting that thou art indeed
Lost to thyself and me. ....
I see thee in thy beautys prime,
When first breathed my vow;
Ere sorrow had its impress stamped
Upon thy marble brow.
The vision fies-my soul awakes
To be how'd down with care
To curse the day whose sunny dawn
Makes darker my despair.
II 10 mine eyes, all dark with grief,
My bitter feelings rush,
And tears-unmanly tears, shall down
My cheeks in torrents gush
'ris thou that bidd'st those waters fiow,-
And if my tears condemn,
"Tis thon alone in bitterness . -,E
Should'st blush and grieve for them.
And, o, remember that my soul,
In shedding hitter tears,
Is pouring forth from out its depths
The treasured grief of years.
Ah mo. ah me thou cans't not know
The sorrows that feel i;
o, what suffer for thy sake.
Aud for thy sake conceal!
My name perhaps forgotten is,
And oil was to thee
But thine is fixed upon my brow
A star of memory.
And though the world may iail TO read
The record that is there
Yet it shall burn like secret fire,
To doom me to despair. ,.s-.

WORKING GIRLS - Happy girls = who

fully they go to work. Our word for
it. such girls will make excellent wives
Blessed indeed will the men be xho secure
such prizes. Contrast them with ihese
who do nothing all day, and live to follow
the fashions. Who never earn the bread
they eat, or the shoes they wear Who
are languid and lazy from one weeks cad

popinjay would prefer one of the latter, if
be were looking for companion2 Give
US the working girls. They are worth
their weight 10 gold. You never see them
mincing along, or jsmping dozen feet to
steer clear of spider or a fly. They have
no ailectation, no silly airs abont them
When they meet you, they speak without
putting on dozen airs, or trying to show
off to better advantage, and you feel as
if you were talking to a human being, and
not to a painted or fallen angel. If girls

they would give worlds for the situation Of
the working ladies, who are above them in
intelligence, in honor, in everything. as the

then. You have made fools of yourselves

STARE THE LITTLE BIRDs.-We have often
had our patience sorely tried by the sight
of great overgrown boys and men, equipped
contrary to law, for slaughtering the small
birds that fit about our dwellings and
make the groves vocal with song. To any
thinking person such practice is as alb.
surd as it is inhumau; for what can be
more foolish than to see great hulking
fellow pause deliberately. then steal cauti.
ously up, and fire at little wren or chip.
ping bird that he might hold in his hand!
Such an achievement is wonderful dis
play Of sportsman-likc qualities. and If per-
sisted in, will breed race Of Nimrods OF
which the world never saw the like. We
think, however, that boys in particular,
shoot birds more from thoughtlessness than
any other motive; and they should be re.
strained from doing so by their parents and
others who have influence over them II
children of large and small growth will only
reflect moment they will see that a bird
in bush is, in literal sense, worth q
dozen In tho hand; for the former delights
us with his song. and does q world Of good
