'Ahi 81 la jeunssw sayaissi ia vis1ssse pouvaiar'
There Fat an old man on rock
And unceasing bewailed him OF Fate
That concern where we all must take stock
Though our vote has no hearing nor weight;
And the old man sang him an old, old song
Never sang voice SO clear and strong
That it could drown the old mans long,
For he sang the song "Too late! Too
"When we want, we have for our pains
The promise that if we but wait
Till the want has burned out of our brains
Every means shall be present to state;
While wesend for the napkin the soup gets
cold,
While the bonnet is trimming the face grows
old, ~
When we've matched our buttons the pattern
is sold.
And everything comes too late-too late
"When strawberries seemed like red heavens
Terrapin stew wild dream
When my brain was at skies and sevens
Ii my mother had folks and icc-cream,
Then gazed with liekerish hunger
At the restaurant man and fruit-monger-
But oh, how wished were younger
When the goodies all came in stream-in
stream!
"1ve splendid blood horse and liver
That it jars into torture to trot
My row-boat s the gem of the river
Govt makes every knuckle a knot!
l can buy boundless credits OH Paris and
Rome,
But no palate for menes-no eyes fora dome
Those belonged to the youth who must tarry
at home
When no home but an attic he'd got-he'd
got.
"How longed in that lonest of garrets,
Where the tiles baked my brains all July,
For grounds to grow two pecks of carrots,
Two pigs of my own in sty,
A rose-bush-a little matched cottage
Two spOons-love-a basin of pottage:
Now in freestone sit-and my dotage-
With woman's chair empty close by
close by!
"Ah now, though l sit on rock,
have shared one seat with the Great;
have sat, knowing naught of the clock,
On loves high throne of state; ti
But the lips that kissed and the arms that
caresscd
Toa mouth grown stern with delay were
pressed,
And circled a breast that their clasp had |
blessed
Had they only not come too late too late % |

Whipping Young Ladies'.

1t, says the London Scotsman, we are tC
judge from series Of letters in the CORE.
spondence columns of the English Wo-
mans Domestic Magazine, the corporal
punishment of young ladies is practised
up to an age far beyond that which we
have set down tor the assumption of the
symbol of womanhood. From what he
read, we think it quite possible that one
may dance in the evening with lady who
has been soundly fagellatsd in the morn>
ing. The subject receives the frankest
treatment in the columns of the periodical
we have named. The principle meets with
little discussion. Most of the correspond.
ents seem to admit it, but they amplify
upon the proper instrument to use. They
minutely describe the instrument they use
and their reasons for its adoption. A
''Lover of Obedience has dislike to the
use of the lash, and furnishes graphic
account of the execution she can do with
her slipper. "Materfamilias" advocates a
short, smart whipping with open hand or
little rod of broom. San English Nam
ma" does not share the repu;, nance of a
''Lover Of Obedience to the use of the
lash, but seems to consider the instrument
immaterial SO long as it is sharp enough
and its use is continued up to the age Of
tifteen-"the age,n she says, ''may be ad-
vantageously extended "a year or two long
er." ''Euphemie Wilmot'' asserts herself
to be married woman Of some expert
ence, and her manner of administering
punishment to the ''grown up girls, her
daughters, is the most motherly OF all, the
black-rod. These are the sentiments OF
ladies, but ladies are not the only writer's.
Men express their sentiments. A Lover
of Discipline favors us with his personal
experience. He styles his daughters
young ladies, and tells us that at the in
stigation of an ingenious governess he
procured rod "made of soft pliable
leather, cut into long narrow thongs a,
one end" which this philanthropically in
genious lady assured him, produced in.
tense pain with little or no injury to the
person. With the weapon there was ad
ministered to the "young ladies" a whip
ping, the delinquents being tightly
strapped to an ottoman during the casti ga
ton, at the conclusion of which they hat
to kiss the rod and thank the governess.

MANS SHoKrCoMINGs-Man is won
derful creature, but if he equallcd the
beasts, birds, and insects, in their own
peculiar powers, how much more wonder.
full he would be! IF. for instance, he
could swim like a fish, run like an
antelope, glide like serpent, gallop like
a horse, climb like monkey, spring like
a tiger, and fly like an eagle; or if he
could roar like lion, sing like nightin>
gale, scent like hound, hear like a
rabbit, hold on like leech, perserve like
an ant, see as far as bird, guide himself
like bee, jump like grasshopper, sleep
like a toad, and diet like an anaconda,
what marvel of creation would he ap-
pear! But, taking his shortcomings into
consideration, he is not so much, after all.
Think of it If = mans voice bore the
same proportion to his own weight that a
canary-bird's does. his lightest word
could be heard at a distance Of eight hun
dred miles; and if, at the same time. he
had, relatively to his bulk, the same
jumping power as the tiniest flea, he could
spring from New York City to China at a
Single bound. All that would be some
thing like!

WATERING RoADs.-A paper was read
before the British Association on this sub
ject, tracing the history of the practice
from the time Of throwing water from the
cutters with shovel, to the watering cart
Of the present day, which inadequately
does the work in London, for instance, at
the cost of half a million (gold) per sum-
mer. The paper states that pound or J
pound of chloride of calcium and chloride
Of sodium mixed to gallon of water,
thrown into the watering cart, hardens
and concretes the surface of road to
such an extent that no dust arises. Also
