LOVE AMONG THE ROSES.

1t was on one Summers evening,
In the merry month OF June,
l beheld a damsel sitting
mid flowers sweet perfume;
She had q novel, reading
Just as was passing by,
And as she turned another page,
saw the brightest eye
A bewitching smile was on her face,
AS charming as the posies;
| felt the smart of Cupid's dart
Twas love among the roses.
CHORUS
Now, hate 10 tell, but then must ;
Within her heart place my trust
She was sitting in the garden,
Where the little butterfly reposes;
And how we met III ne'er forget
Twas love among the roses.
passed the house next evening,
The clock had just struck eight,
And l saw my future happiness,
She was standing by the garden gate.
She smiled as approached her,
And begged her to excuse;
May view those pretty flowers!
She murmured; If you choose.
/ spoke about the violets,
Then finally made proposes:
Thro' the garden we walked, OF happin
talked
Twas love among the roses.
Now, hate to tell, &c.
confess | love Matilda;
Matilda was her name,
And there was charm about her
Which never can explain,
She dresses up to fashion,
To her style there is no end,
And, of course, she must look dashing,
For she wears Grecian bend.
But she left her home, and where she's gon
Most every one supposes
For us dear as life is my little wife
Twas lows among the roses
Now, hate to tell, &c.

ANGRY WORDS.

Angry words are lightly spoken
In a rash and thoughtless hour
Brightest links of life are broken
By their deep insdious power.
Hearts inspired by warmest feeling
Meier before by anger stirred,
OFT are rent past human healing
BY a single angry word.
Poison drops of care and sorrow,
Bitter poison drops are they,
Weaving Tor the coming morrow
Saddest memories of to-day.
Angry words oh, let them never
From the tongue unbridled slip
May the hearts best impulse ever
Check them ere they soil the lip.
Love is much too pure and holy
Friendship is too sacred far,
For moments reckless folly
Thus to desolate and mar.
Angry words are lightly spoken,
Interest thoughts are rashly stirred
Brig htest links of life are broken
BY a single angry word.

FIsKE, JR.--James Fiskc, Jr., has written a
letter to the New York Sun, which duplicates
Corbin, President Grants brother-in law, as 4
leading spirit in the late gold speculation. The
proper way to dispose of this matter is to call
Fiske hard names. Such is the course adopted
by the partizan dalies of this city, which seem
under the impression that they are indebted TO
the iorbearance of the President for being per-
mtted 10 exist. The public perhaps will not be
satisfied with abusing Mr. Fiske. He is u bold g,
able, and INSCRIPTIONS speculator but he acts
in his private capacity, speculates on his own
money, and is answerable only to the law and
public opinion for what he does. Bat with Cor
bin it is different He would not be anybody f
he was not the Presidents brother-in-law. Ifhe
specuates it i on his position as a member OF
the Presidents extensive family, and upon Sc
cret information he is able to get possession Of.
Fiske states that Corbin was in the movement
before Fiske knew of its existence and that Cor
bins represent Ia ton OF influence he could bring
to bear in favor of the project, enlisted other
men of means and capacity into the scheme.
Fiske also states that he had repeated interviews
with Corbin and wife, and that he visited Wash
ington at the time of the panic in Wall street.
These are serious charges and as direct as they
are serious. If they are not true they can be
disproved. II they are true it is well for the
people to know it and we hold that they
are rather indebted to Mr.. Fiske or the informa-
tion. If the administration through its official
and unofficial representatives. is in the field as q
speculator in gold and bonds, the fact ought to

HAzEL-EYED GIRIs.--Major Noah said that a
hazel.eye inspires at first Platonic sentiment,
which gradually lut surely expands into lave as
securely founded as the rock of Gibraltcr A
woman with hazel eye never slopes from her
husband never chats scandal, never sacrifices
her husbands comfort to her own, never finds
fault, never talks too much or two little, always

lovely creature" ave never knew" says a
brother editor, but one uninteresting and un-
amiable woman with hazel eye, and she had
a nose that looked, as the Yankee says, like the

The grey eye is sign Of genius and talent;
great thinkers and great captains have it. In
woman, it indicates a better head than heart.
The dark hazel is noble in its significance as
