lent my love book one day:
She brought 1t back-I laid it by;
Twas little either had to say
She was SO strange and 1 30 shy.
But yet we loved Indifferent things
The sprouting buds, the birds in tune
And Time stood still and wreathed his wings
With rosy links from June to June.
For her what task 10 do or dAre7
What peril temptY what hardship bear;
But with her-ah she never knew
My heart, and what was hidden therei
And she, with me, 80 cold and coy,
Seemed little maid bereft of sense;
But in the crowd, all life and joy,
And full Of blushful impudence.
She married--well, a woman needs
A mate, her Life and love to share;
And little cares sprung up like weeds,
And played around her elbow chair.
And years rolled by-but !, content,
Trimmed my own lamp and kept 1t bright,
Till ages touch my hair besprent
with rays and CLEANS Of silver light.
And then 1t chAnced took the book
Which she perused in days gone by;
And as read, such passion shook
My soul, needs must curse or cry.
For here and there her love was writ,
In old, half-faded pencil signs,
As II she yielded-bit by Bit
Her heart in dots and underlincs.
All silvered fools too late you lookl
know It; let me here record
This maxim: Lend no girl book,
Unless you read It afterwardl

A FUNERAL DIsCoURsE.-The Editors
Drawer in Harper's Magazine for April,
contains the following: The readers of the
drawer have, within the past year or two,
been edited with the perusal of a sermon
on "The Harp of a Thousand Strings" and
the Farewell Discourse of Brother Wat
kins." The tone of those discourses might
in a general way be called pleasing. Not
so, however, the following brief allusion
from the pulpit to young man of indifier-
ent position in the social circles Of B.,
New Hampshire, who came to an early de-

ly as healthy as the aforementioned. The
perfect insects reared in the blue light diff
fered from the average form in being much
smaller, the orange-brown colors lighter,
and the yellow aud orange running into
each other, instead of remaining distinct.
Those raised in the yellow light were also
smaller, but the orange-brown was replaced
by salmon-color; and the blue edges of the
wings seen in the ordinary form were Of
dull slate. If changes SO great as these can
be produced in the course Of single expe-
riment, it is probable that continuance OF
the same upon a succession of individuals
will develop some striking results.-Har-

HOME FOR DOGS.

Mns. JMLYBY is amongst us. Her work in
Borrioboola CHA is finished, we presume, for
We detect her presence in a meeting of
women held last week, and fully reported by
themselves in the Press. There is no mis-
taking the delicacy, the sound sense, the en-
thusiasm infused into their proceedings by
tho master mind of that remarkable female.
See how she takes this crying sin of the age,
cruelty to animals, out of Mr.. Bergh's hands,
and proceeds to demolisb it in q manner all
her own.
MIR. Bergh and his ooadjutors, with their
dull masculine brains, endeavored to arouse
public sensibility TO the fact that animals
had rights as well as men, and, pending the
conversion of the world to this dogma took
care to protect the dumb brutes by law. The
uneducatod classes who maltreat animals
generally find the prick of the law wonder
fully effective spur to their sense of justice
Mrs. Jellyby and her sisters, however,
having been endowed with certain funds TO
aid in this purpose, Immediately, after the
manner of women, place themselves before
the public with full account of their oharita-
BILE plans, aspirations, and domestic Attic
which Mrs. Jellyby always showed in finances)
a statement of their receipt of $4,000 from
Mr.. VAIN, one hundred from feats of leger-
demain, and ten-cent note from an interest
ing little girl.
1t being desirable that a law should be
passed limiting the number of passengers on
the horse oars our ladies declare themselves
willing and glad to grid on their armor,
and repair forthwith TO Harrisburg, there to
use their personal influence upon the legis-
lators to that end.
With the FIVE thousand dollars and ten
cents they design to attack the moral
sense of the next generation, and as feasible
commencement purpose converting the
eighty thousand children assembled in the
public schools en- masss to sentiments of
humanity and mercy for life by the prsssnta-
tion to each of cent book, entitled s'The

Now that the House of Representatives has
abolished the franking privilege by decisive
vote we trust the Senate will speedily ap-
prove this important reform. The power to
frank letters and books inevitably leads to
innumerable abuses. It creates privileged
class, cheats the department ont of large
amount of revenue, and leads to immense
expenditures for public printing, which will
be speedily stopped after Congressman are
compelled to pay postage on public docu-
ments.

SUFFRAGE IN TENNESSEK.

TIE Tennessee Legislature few months ago
rejected the fifteenth amendment, and thus
arrayed the State against the principle of
colored suffrage. On Thursday last, how
ever, the Constitutional Convention, in its
eager desire to abolish the existing disfran-
chisement of Rebel voters, practically re-
versed this decision. 1t adopted by vote
of so to 16 clause comforting the
right to suffrage on all male
citizens of the United States who shall have
been residents of Tennessee for twelve
months, and of the county in which the vote
is offered for six months previous to the cleo
ton. This clause settles the dispute on the
universal amnesty and universal suffrage
theory, and as some Of the leading cham
pions of the Democracy, including A.
0. r. Nicholson, streauously advocated
colored suffrage as part of this settle
ment, We presume that the whole
question is substantially disposed of in that
Commonwealth. This view is confirmed by
the action of the Legislature, which unani-
mously adopted a resolution thanking the
convention for its action. That body would

DIVORCE IN PENNsYLvAN1A.-A bill has just
been reported favorably in the Legislature
authorizing the courts of the Commonwealth
to grant divorces in all cases where ''the best
interest Of the p1aintiB() and the cause of
public morality will be promoted" This
would be to place our divorce
law substantially on the same platform
with that of Indiana or Illinois, where
the judges are allowed to grant divorces ''for
any cause which may seem to them to be
proper" The public condemnation of this
loose system has been too recent and too loud
to be safely disregarded. The passage of
such law would be a disgrace to the
State, and would do much towards lowering
the tone of our Judiciary. All good citizens
should protest against it. There is latitude
enough now in Pennsylvania in obtaining
divorces, and few worse things could be do
vised than such Wholesale breaking
down of the ancient barriers.

THE action of the Georgia Legislature some
time ago an expelling its oolored members
Occasioned much just Indignation, and it was
punished in a very proper manner by allow
ing Georgia to remain out in the cold until
her semi-reconstruoted politicians could loarn
little wisdom. There is now a Republican
majority in the Legislature of Georgia, which
seems disposed to model its policy on that of
the Rebels who perpetrated tho outrage re-
ferred to. Twenty-seven OF the newly-elected
members were declared to be ineligible, and
the House of Representatives yesterday, by a
vote of 66 to Sc, decided to seat those who
received the next highest votes to the NOM
bers who were excluded. In other
words, they have admitted twenty
seven persons who were never
elected by the people. This performance is
about on a par with the expulsion of the
colored members by the Rebels at the last
session, and it is species of gerrymandering
that no political party can afford to coun-
tenance. The defeated candidates who were
admitted TO seats In this extraordinary man
ner are not members, and no vote Of the
Legislature can make them so and if they are
allowed to participate in the proceedings a
dangerous precedent will be set, that will
most certainly be used against those who ORR
ginated it, if it is permitted to stand unchal-
longed. Fair play is jewel, and although
the Georgia Republicans may have had ample
provocation, they can gain nothing by imita-
ting the villainies of their opponents.

a loud exclamation followed. The boy
had disappeared beneath the waves-the
rope pulling him under-and then a huge.
laundering, remorseless watl of foam rush
ed over the head of the young man, too !;
he sank, the torrent swept over him, and
not a trace of either man or boy was visi-
BILE to the agonized eyes of the lockers on.
A moment afterward what seemed two
corpses were dragged to shore out of the
current. A dozen hands caught them. and
a feeble movement of the young mans
hand indicated that he was not dead. He
felt for the rope around his body. All eyes
were turned in hat direction. The rope
had buried itself nearly, cutting his flesh :;
be was suffocating.
The rope was severed instantly, and a
long breath from the violet lips indicated
the immense relief. An instant afterward
the young man rose to his feet, and. as he
did so, the boy, who had been assiduously
cared for, also opened his eyes, uttered a
deep sigh, and then smiled. He was
snatched from the very jaws Of death {;
and the courage of an unknown friend had
alone saved him. -
