s@r A strange story. is told of two sisters at Berlin. About three years ago one of these young ladies was engaged to be married, but on the bridal morning became so i'll that she could not possibly 20 to church. The bride groom was desirable, one, and he was fish who, it seems, had not been easily hooked There was, therefore. great danger in delay, so, instead of postponing the marriage, the second sister covering herself with long veil, person ated the first and duly went through the cere mOay. The moment it was over, she trans ferred the bridal dress and ornaments to her sister. who in her innocence, was thus consid- cred to have allpropet claim to this husband she marriad b3 proxy. It is only recently that discovery hes been made of the real facts, and proceedings are about to be taken not only in the civil but also in the criminal courts of Berlin.

RAIN ON THE ROOF.
by COATES KINNEY

When the hoary shadows hover
Over all the starry spheres,
And the melancholy darkness
Gently sweeps in rainy tears,
It's a joy to press the pillow
OF cottage-cbamber bed,
And listen to the patter
OF tie soft rain overhead.
Every tinkle on the shingles,
Has an echo in the heart;
Aud a thousand dreamy faDciss
Into busy being start
And thousand recollections
Weave their bright hues into wool,
As l listen TO the patter
OF the soft rain on the roof.
Then in fancy comes my Mother
AS she used to, years agone,
To survey her darling sleepcrs
Ere she left them till tue dawn;
! can see her bending DER me
As listen to the strain,
Which is played upon the shingles
BY the patter Of the rain.
When my little seraph sister
With her wings and waving hair,
And her bi ight eyed cherub brother
A serene, angelic pair,
Glides around my waketul pillow,
With their praise as mild reproof,
As / listen to the mulmur
OF the rain upon the roof.
And another comes to thrill ne
With her eyes delicious blue,
And forget gazing at her
That her heart was all untrue.
remember but to love her
With rapture kin to pain,
And my hearts quick pulses vibrate
To the patter of the rain.
There is naught in arts bravura
That can work with such O spell
In the spirits pure deep fountain,
Whence the holy passions we'll,
As the melody Ct nature
That subdued, subduing strain
Which is played upon the shingles
By the patter of the rain.

LOVE THE OLD.

7 love the old, to lean beside
The antique, easy chair,
And pass my fingers softly DER
A wreath of silver hair;

The furrowed brow, and gaze
Within the sunken eye, where dwells
The eight Of other days"
To fold the pale and feeble hand
That on my youthful head,
Has lain so tenderly, the while
The evening prayer was said,
To nestle down close to the heart,
And marvel how, it held ~
Such terms oflegendary lore,

So much of life and love,
So many hopes-Age has but one,

Turn awhile from these away
To cheer the old, and bless
The wasted heart. strings with a stream
Of sunshine tenderness.
Thou treadest now the path of bloom,
And thine exulting soul
Springs proudly on, as tho it mock'd
At Times unfelt control;
But they have marched weary way,
Upon thorny road;
Then soothe the toil-worn spirits, ere
They. pass away to God.
Yes, love the aged-bow before
The venerable form,
So soon to seek beyond the sky
A shelter from the storm.
Aye. love them let thy silent heart
With reverence untold,
As pilgrims very near to Heaven,
Regard and love the old.
