The following is a birds ey,
description of Mont Blanc. "Fey
scenes in the Alps are more mag
nihcent than the range Of Mon
Blanc, seen from the descent to Pre-
st, Didier; but the finest effect un-
der which we ever saw it was by
moonlight Nothing can be imag
ined more beautiful than the Mon
arch Of Mountains, and his vast at
tendant masses seen under its illu-
mination; the snow, in shadow, was
so near the color Of the heavens
that its form could not be distin-
guished; whilst the part which was
lit by the moon, was sharply seen
against the dark sky, of an indie
scriboble pale whiteness, apparently
suspended in air far below the
snow; the mountains could not be
perceived in the haze and darkness.

From the Washington City Chronicle
LINES FOR MUSIC.
While ia the forest trees
Nestles the summer breeze,
While birds with gushing throat,
Pour forth a loving note,
Joyous and free;
While flowers and blossoms fair,
Shed fragrance in the air,
While earth's loveliest hues,
Mingle with natures dews,
/ think of thee.
For in thy sunny ways
Mirth, love, and beauty plays,
And from thy golden hair
Soft rays of sunshine fair
Reflect the light
From out thine eyes Of blue,
Which in their glances true
Tell of a heart within
Free from all guile and sin,
Loving and bright.
Thy voice 20 silver sweet,
Thy grace and form complete,
Thy worth and goodness rare,
To all | would declare
In fullest measure.
Vows of eternal love,
If thou wouldst only prove
That such feeling dear,
When round thy being near,
Told but Of pleasure.

THE OLD COUPLE.

The old man sits with folded arms,
In his easy chair to-day;
His happy wife, with crossed palms,
HUNS snatches from the oiden psalms,
In cheerful kind of way.
'Tis sweet to see this aged pair,
Who have loved so long aud well,
Each other joys so fondly share,
And every little grief and care
Alike each bosom swell.
'Tis fifty years since they were wed,
Just fifty years to-day;
They have outlived the early dead,
But age has bowed each silyery head
They soon will pass away.
Well may their dim and faded eyes
O'erfow with pearly tears,
As visions of the past arise,
And memory on Its mission flies
Back to those early years.
Again they tread the village green,
Where in infancy they played,
O'erioyed at the familiar scene,
Until shadow comes between,
And happy visions fade.
Then comes gleam of later years,
OF friends so tried and true,
Who sympathized in all their fears,
And wiped away their bitter tears,
And made their sorrows few.
''Where are they now" the old man cries
1.-The cherished friends of yore %
Pointing to the arching skies,
The good wife; tearfully replies,
"They are all gone before"
And soon our days will ended be,
We've merely reached the shore;
We've sailed upon life's stormy sea
For nearly four-score years and three,
Our journeys almost O 'er.'
