Clara and Jane were young together
In the s~Chool-house on the hiu, lhurTiesi
Where the mad brook, lcaping aud tumbling
Down 70 the old stone mill.
And many tho dreams they dreamed together,
Under the summer trees;
Many the Joys Of the hidden future
They opened with golden keys.
Clara was proud and coveted splendor;
She would marry a king;
And the richest gem in all Earth's bosom
should blaze In her wedding ring.
And she would walk. In her brave ambition,
Straight to the nights Of Fame.
And chisel upon the lasting marble
In letters Of light--her namet
Jane said her life should be calm and p~sacefuli
All that she asked was love,
Aud o home where stately mountains lifted
Their heads 10 the eky above.
Ono true brave heart-forever beating
Faithfully by her side;
aud a sunny place ia tho dear ola churchyeId,
To welcome hCt when she died.
TIE years have passed with giddy swiitness
since Clara aud Jane were young,
Like failed pictures their fair ideals
IN uutrUd halls are chung.
clara-she married an honest farmers
And frequently writes her name
Dainhly In the SNOWY pastry,
Butnever on nights Of Fame.
The hand that reached for the blazing diamond
Is busy with milk and cheese;
Aud I'VE little choubs give her no leisure
IUdream under SUMMED trees.
II Jano-her life has grown dark and restless,
The dreams Of the Far Away
Sweep over her weary, fevorcd apirit
Lake showers on an Augustday.
Her eyes look out on the tolling city,
Aud mp 30 the narrow sky;
And an unmarked place I'm the cemetery
Is waiting for her 60 die.

Pllgrlm's PrOgress ExtraOrdinary.

Major DeForrest, in his contribution of
Freedmen's Bureau and other Incidents to
Harper's Monthly, tells this anecdote.
The drollest evening that l passed in
Greenville was at a magic lantern exhibit
ton. The pictures illustrated BunyRn's
Pilgrims Progress, and were horrible
enough to have been designed by Apollyon
himself in mockery of that almost sacred
narrative. The exhibitors were two
muscular Christians, who had precisely
the tone and bearing Of professional
roughs, and whom / suspected Of being
Baltimore Plug glies. The contrast be-
tween their Bood-Tu ~intonationi az they
explained the designs, aud the pious grav-
ity of the story which was illustrated, kept
me in q paroxysm Of laughter. The climax
was reached when we beheld q blue and
white Christian meeting three greenish
angels.
Here you see the three shining ones, a"
~expounded the Plug who stood beside the
curtain. "As Christian goes up the hill he
meets the three shining ones. One of them
takes him by the hand and says to him
What the h-ll are you doing 2"
This last phase was a loudly whispered
aside, addressed TO the operator in rear OF
the curtain, who mt that moment extin-
guished the lantern, perhaps in lighting
a cigar from its hallowed flame.

Suicide of Three Girls.

A London paper says: "A singular case
of triple suicide took place October 10,
near the Queens Road Bridge, Regents
Canal, Dalston. John Whitmane, keeper
of the Acton lock, was aroused nj about a
quarter to two by a man in charge OF the
pump engine on the canal, who, having
heard screams, followed by q splashing in
the water, had come for the drags, Whit
name Immediately proceeded to the spot
indicated, about one hundred and fifty
yards from the l~Ock-house; aud, after
dragging for q short time, succeeding in
bringing TO shore the body of a girl. In
the mean time Inspector Ramsay, with
several policemen, followed the party to
the house for the dmgs, az it was known
that two other girls had Jumped from the
Queens Road bridge. Whitmano ut once
returned, and after Il short time brought
me body to the surface. The weight ON
the drags was very great, and it was soon
discovered that the hand Of the body in
sight was tightly holding the hair OF the
other unfortunate creature. Both having
been got ont Of the water dead, the bodies
were removed to Shoreditch work house.
Gan the girls had been seen together Mt
a late hOur, at one time sitting in the
street drinking from q bottle, and two OF
their companions say that they spoke Of

CRAwFoRD's statue Of Washington, in
Richmond. Va, is represented to be in n
shaky condition. Some Of the iron bolts
with which it was fastened to the granite
PEDESTAL, have, by corrosion and abrasian,
been reduced to half their original thick
ness, and the bands holding together the
blocks composing tho PEDESTAL are also
considerably worn. Portions Of tho gran

these facts has been followed by prompt
measures to prevent the downfall and con-
