MY UNKNOWN WIFE.

Whoever she may be,
Lay Thou Thy hands upon her. Keep her pure.
Ere Sorrow come, draw near to her, that she
May know how to endure.
Ere the time come when |
Shall have the right to touch her face to mine
Look tendery upon her, and draw nigh
And raise that face to Thine.
Wander where'er Thou wilt
Among the pleasant places Of her soul,
And let a temple there By Thee be built,
Where Love shall have control.
And when at night she prays,
Put it into her heart to pray for me
The answer to those prayers, in after days,
1t will be good to see.
Let me to her be brought
In my green youth, ere many years roll round;
As long as | have breath she shall be sought
And prayed for, until found.

The Earthquake at CcphaIOnIa.

Further details of the damage done by
tho late earthquake have come to hand
from Corfu. Oryostol is completely de-
stroyed. The whole lower part of the
town, which was the finest aud richest, has
disappeared-not single house remains
standing. In the csnter of the town the
houses have also suffered to great extent
most of them require to be built again. The
only part spared was that lying against
the mountain but it is doubtful if that
town, so fourishing few days ago, viii
ever rise from its ruins. During the last
few years the cultivation of the Cornth
raisn and olive had made great advances
in the island, and since tho annexation to
Greece, Oroyostoi had become the rrirci
pal center of the raisin trade. During last
year 10000 900 pounds of that produce had
left that port. Used to life of comfort
the inhabitants of that doomed town are
now without home and without clothes--in
fact, with no resources at all. A few
wooden sheds have been luilt, but they
shelter only lew familio os the mass Of the
islanders are camped in the fields or under
the trees. All the public buildings are in
ruins. The bakeries have been destroyed,
aud, as in the midst of the prevailing
Consideration no one has the er ergy to con.
ruct field ovens, bread is almost wanted
everywhere. The full extent OF the disaster
IN the interior of'tc islam is not yet known,
but it is certain that it is considerable.
A great number OF villages are in ruins, and
two of them have been ongulphed. The
victims belonging to these two villages
are said to outuumber 500 In the town Of
l. xur only, more than 100 bodies have
been discovered. In the whole island more
than so 600 persons, Ut least, arc without
home and without food.

A Lesson Of Trust.

Some time ago boy was discovered in
the street, evidently bright and intelligent,
but sick. A man who had the feeling OF
kindness strongly developed, vent to ask
him what he WAS doing there.
"Waiting for God to come for me-" he
said.
"What do you mean said the gentle
man, touched by the pathetic tone OF the
answer, and the condition of the boy, in
whose eyes aud flushed face he saw the
evidences OF fever,
God sent for mother, and father, and
little brother" said he, and took them
away to his home up in the sky ;and mother
told me when she was sick that God would
take care Of me. have no home. nobody

won't he !? Mother never told a lie."

From the Boston Traveller.I
ODE TO TIE CHIGNON,

Oh once | knew
A maiden fair,
With azure eyes and golden hair
And as | ga1ed--in rapture lost
My heart-my heart, all tenpeSt.tos,,
Became so weak | could not speak,
But stDod aTnaEed, all beauty -cratcd
Her golden curls IN clusters fell,
Aud seemed 10 melt in amber air
Methought her praise no tongue could tell,
She seemed the fairest Of the fair
But, Oh one day, one woul day,
mct INV beauty on the street,
Her hair done up IN such way,
No spirit in winding-shect
Could give me greater fright.
Oh such n sight
Oil such fright
And N CARED,
In wonder maEcd,
Oh can il really he
That she, that she,
So sweet and fair,
SO rich and rare
In golden hair,
In ripping curls,
This queen Of girls,
Should before the people,
Appear with such stecple
Slantng upward from her crown,
Like the famous leaning tower of Pisa,
Which all expect to see come tumb)ing down.
o, Mary, Mabel, Ethel, Addie, Kate, Theresa
Wandering from Truth and Nature very far;
Upselting all the well-kuown classic rules
Devised in ancient Greek and Latin schools.
Your locks were made to ripple, fall and flow,
But never, never meant to stick up so;
Aud to your beauty thus unjust,
How do you think your friends
Can recognize this bust?

And scribbling rhymes, and making calls,

And show your angry passions.

Of love and sunny weather;

Fast with the word Fast.

Richard Grant White, Mr.. Gould, or
some other writer, who is accustomed to
play upon "words and their uses" might
write an interesting chapter on the changes
which are rung upon many English words.
These changes erribly perplex foreigners,
who are never sure when they get hold Of
the'right meaning Of word. Forinstance,
puzzled Frenchman, with the words fast !:
''Zis horse, sair, be 60 queek, what you
say Z"
"Yes, he lisa fast horse. " -
"Ah. pardon, Monsieur, but your friend
says be make fast his horse, and he tie
him to post SO he not 60 at all"
every true he is made fast by being
tied"
"Ah, rat cannot be; he cannot go fast;
but what you call man cat keeps fast"
ooh, he is good man who does not eat
on fast days"
"But / have seen one bon vivant who
eat, and drink, and ride, and do every
sing. Re people says he is bad man
he IS vere fast"
s.True that is called living fast life"
"Ah, certainment; zen all re day of his
life moost be fast days"
"Certainly they are"
"Zen how can he keep fast ?"
"Why, he keeps going, to be sure"
"Mais, tenez! You tell me to stand fast
when you want me to keep still, and go
fast when you wish mo to run, diabls
take re fast
