The king, getting out of pa

Switzerland, who recently came to
a crowded hotel, and were inform

one unoccupied room in the house,
the bathroom, and that a couple

baths which it contained. q The
youthful couple were well pleased
to secure even this, shelter, after
a fatiguing journey, and retired
to rest. An hour or two later the
stiffness of the night was sudden
ly- broken by shrieks Of distress
issuing from the, bathroom. The

sumed was a bell-rope suspended
over her head in the bath, when,
suddenly,,she was inundated by a

THE BRAVE AT HOME.

The maid who binds her warriors sash
With smile that well her pain dissemble,
The while beneath her dropping lash
One starry tear-drOp. hangs and trembles
Though Heaven alone records the tear,
And Fame shall never know her story,
Herheart has shed drop as dear sfE2
As eer bedewed the field of gloryi
The wife who girds her husbands sword,
Mid little ones who weep or wonder,
And bravely speaks the cheering word,
What though her heart be rent asunder,
Doomed nightly in her dreams to hear
The bolts of death around him rattle, q
Hath shed as sacred blood as e'er
Was poured upon the field of battle!
The mother who conceals her grief, e
While to her breast her son she presses,
Then breathes few brave words and briei
Kissing the patriot brow she blesses,
With no one but her secret God 1855
TOknow the pain that weighs upon her,
Sheds holy blood as e'er the sod
Received on. Freedoms field of honor!

Roosters doc but very little household

Yu kam git a rooster to pay attenshun to a

Steals the sunshine, steals the shade
Evening Iamps begin to fall.
Evening shadows are uisplay'd.
Round me. DER me, everywhere,
All the sky is grand with clouds.
And alhwmt the evening air
Wheel the swallows home in crowds.
Shafts of sunshine from the West
Paint the dusky windows red
Darker shadows, deeper rest.
Underneath and overhead
Darker, darker. and more wan,
In my breast the shadows fall;
Upward steals the life of man.
As the sunshine from the wall.
From the wall into the sky.
From the roof along the spire;

She sing a few notes out of tune:

She tackled her head under her wing,
And pretended to be asleep.

The nightingale felt herself blush.
