To my pensive soul replying,
Nancy, wake from peaceful slumbers,
Wake and hear my plaintive numbers
NAsoY.-Wide awake / am, my Jerry;
Wide awake, and yet not merry,
Al my window thou hast fouui me,
With my blanket-shaWl around me.
JEaRY.-What are those thine eyes, my Nancy ?
l nstook them in my fancy,
For two stars, that take their station
In some brilliant constellation.
NANCY. Surely this inclement season
Clouds thine eyesght or thy reason,
Haste and to thy bed betake thee,
Lest some fearful ague shake thee

Nor can ague fits alarm me;
Warmed by clothes from Benefits

NEW YEARS DAY IN PERSIA The Persian
civil year begins at the time Of the yernal equi-
nox, aud it is joyous holiday among all classes
II is the Persian festival Of the Nooroose, which
is to say, new year. or, literally, new day, and it
arrives with the equinootial gales in March. 1t
is a great day in Tehran. The whole city is in
an uproar. Early in the morning the king
marches out of bis capital, attended by his
ministers and mobiles, and as many Of his army
as can be assembled. A stately and decorous
court TO outward appearance, but very rabble
Of an army. Bombastes Furioso headed no
stranger troops.
Every man who meets his friend on the morn
ing Of the Nooroorse, kisses him--someWhat as
the Russians used, not very long ago, 10 kiss
each other in the pleasant Easter time. All this
joity and merriment lasts about week, but the
first day is the most important.
The Europeans residing in Persia have a busy
time Of il at tho NoorOose. They are trOtting
about from morning till night, like dogs in fair,
to comply with the customs Of the country, and
pay uncomfortable visits to everybody, in the
tightest of clothing. They receive visits them
selves also in turn. Among other visitors to
them is the kings white elephant. and the ele-
plants keeper, who expects handsome present
for the trouble Of calling upon them, and stops
at each of their doors with gliding crowd about
him till he gets it. l am not quite sure that it
would be perfectly safe TO refuse the customary
present to the kings white elephant.

A STORY OF TODAY.
BY c. E, b. HOWE.

Mrs Smith !-Of course you know her. Her
husband, Mr.. Smith, is dealer in Goldfish, gim-
lets, molasses, cotton goods and patent medi-
cines. MIR. aud Mrs. Smith are of tue real bon
ton, the recherche Of suciety, and the beau monde
consider Mrs. Smith the belle of their particular
element. You meet Mrs Smith upon the street
and politely raise your hat, or more probably
duck your head IN a bow, in token Of, +" would
cut it of, if it would render you any pleasuIe e e"
Now you would hardly believe that Mr.. Smith
that richly-eressed and fashionable ady-with
proud and elastic step, and coniemptuous curl
ut servant girls upon her beautiful and naughty
lip, was once a servant-ah, twice servant girl,
and factory hand in the Yankee land Of Lowell.
That's TO her honor. For have not Kings mar
ried Commoners, and Dukes made Duohesses OF
peasant girls? She was naughty, few months
ago, but there has been change. Those who
once thought her all arrogance, now find in her
amiability, and those that thought her naughty
now lcye her for her sympathetic kindncss.-
Thereby begins our story.
Mrs Smith, at one time, was the most un-
pleasant mistress, servant girl ever attempted 10
please and if, by dint of perseverance,, any one
Of them remained in her employ two weeks, MIR.
Smiths astonishment was plainly visible.
Well, Smith puts on airs ms we'll as Mrs, Smith
if il aOas by lucky accident he got started
and followed up his fortune until he obtained
his present Importance. Tell Smith how he
worked at common labor, few years ago. or how
he learned the art of buying and selling for
profit. by graduating from boarding house waiter
to stewardship, and their learned his first idea Of
" Trade" he would probably reply; "Ah, them
was old times" Old times, true enough Just
decade gone since them old times"
The man at the intelligence office had sent FIVE
different girls to Mrs. Smiths employ in two
weeks, and on this particular morning Mrs.
Smith wanted new servant.
"Mr. Smith" said the lady, addressing her

ANEoDorE CT FRENCH ACTOR In one Of
Lemaitre's pieces the "cue" required that he
should enter bearing the dead body of young
brother in his arms. The supernumerary
charged with this played so well the dead man
than the public interrupted Frederick Lemaitre's
soliloquy with hearty round Of applause. Le-
maitre was excessively angry, and while sneak
ing, blew in the nose of the dead man, who did
not bulge. Lemaitre then, yielding to fit of
despair, plucked a handful Of hair from the poor
supernumerary's head; be did not move. AT
last, Lemaitre suddenly opened his arms, that
he might dry the fast flowing tears in his eyes
the poor supernumerary fell on his head which
made the stage floor echo with the loud rap he
lay as he fell, without moving. Lemaitre could
not proceed. Round after round Of applause
was bestowed on the humble supernumerary.
Lemaitres anger knew no bounds, and he swore
that the poor supernumerary should not be ap-
plauded the next evening. When he brought
in his dead brother the second time, he began
tickling his ribs the moment he entered upon the
stage; the supernumerary tried to look ''dead,"
but broad grin soon stole over his face, and
he was hissed most vehemently.

''LovR IS THE HEME"-Sane or insane,
love is Away the theme of the poetic and some
times it would puzzle al adept to distinguish
amid the singular latitude of thought and ex-
preston considered allowable in these days, to
decide which poetry is written inside and which
outside the lunatic asylum. The asylum, for
instance, possesses a poet whose lines, out
raging as they do all common sense and cohe-
renee, jingle 80 wonderfully like some Of the
more popular verses Of the day, that they are
really entertaining. For instance, the crack
Drained Apollo addresses his iaamorata thus:
"Twinkle, twinkle, little girl,
How thy nose is out Of curl
Up above thy chin so high,
Like amp-post in the sky"
And then he abjures the fair creature to elope
with him on "lawyer's dray," in order that
they may ''gallOp DER the sea" together, and
feast on Goblin chops,
Pea-green prawns and lollipops;
Hunt the skipper, catch the Group,
And fill our shoes with myrtle soup"
Whether the asylum poet was insane in fact, or
prepared his verses as a buvesque upon the iu-
sanity of poets generally, we are unable to de-
eide /; but be has done his work udicrously we'll.
When he wrote in an impassioned moment:
"Gaily the tiger-cat tuned his guitar,
Serenading the magpie with feathers and tar"
he expressed world of tender emotion in a
rough manner but when he added that the
low-born animal
"Carried photograph close to her heart,
Wrapped mp in Holsters aud mustard apart"
he capped the climax, and deserved g. be
adorned with medal; for the satire on fashion
able poetry was perfect

And summer in tue spring.

That's swellin' to the South,
And when the sentry passes them

The twilight of evening had come, and the sit

He had never been to sea,
And q storm he had never seen.
He never has been aroused
From his morniHg's gentle doze
By the sound of splashing water,
As 1t falls from the horrid hose
He has never heard man
Scrubbing right over his head,
With noise sufficient to rouse
From the grave, the slumbering dead.
He has never seen fat woman
Growing thiuuer day by day,
And leaning over the vessels side,
Throwing herself away:
While people look oarelessly on
Though in tears the woman may be,
Aud unfeeliugly say it is nothing at all,
Only the roll of the sea.
That man may have sailed in a boat,
In some puddle or on sound
But il he has been to sea and wrote
Such song, he deserves to be drowned.
