POETRY.
f. Birthday Poem.

In yonder farmhouse, brown and old,
One room il closed like Btuebeards hall,
Aud o or the panes, win heavy lOld.
Moved by no breath the curtains TALL.
No curious girl or babblinG boy
lis sacred silence dare destroy
With merry laugh or rafting toy,
Or Tilt the latch and break the thrali.
But every year rolls round day
when every door is opened wide,
And through the room from size to side
The yellow sunbeams freely play
And fearless children then may view
The wonders of that unknown land
The gorgeous carpet. red and blue,
9hr triBkets oD the corner-stahd,
Tke great old Bible grandly bound,
The profles on the walls around,
The anilers Grandslre's rifle won
Ere Grandsirc' : axe the forest laid,
The sampler Grandmas hands begun
When Grandma was blushiDg mald,
And all things curious and rare
That careful years have garuered there
go we live cramped in half soul,
Nor ever know the better pait
Save wnen returning birth days roll
The door back from our inmost heart,
And let us see our real selves
And MI the rapid years have wrought,
The folded fabrics of old thought,
Laid by on half forgotten shelves,
Tee hopes, once living, whose pale ghosts
Yet walk the chambers where they died,
he profile OF persisted pride.
The dreams that thronged, ike Persian hosts,
The pass where Never stood at bay,
The golden hue OF sunset shores
That slowly grew an ashen grey
Ere we could ship the weary oars.
TO eat, TO labor. and to sleep,
And satisfy material needs,
To strive. to do, perhaps 10 keep
Some foolish record OF our DEEDS,
To hear now friendships cheap won praise,
the patter now OF petty Ills
Is naught to that great fife which fills
Our birth days and our burial days

Dear friend, far off, my lost desire,
SO far. so near, in woe and veal;
Oh loved the most, when most L feel
There is q lower ard higher.
Known and unknown, human, divine,
Sweet human hand and lips and eye,
Dear heavenly friend that canst not die,
Mine, mine for ever, ever mine
Strange friend, past, present, and to be,
Loved deepller, darklier, understood;
Behold, j dream dream of good,
Ard mingle all the world with thee.
Thy voice is on the rolling air;
hear thee where the waters run:
Thou standeSt In the rising sum-
And in the setting thou art tair.
Why art thou, then? / cannot guess;
But though | seem in star and flower
To feel thee, some diffusive power,
do not, therefore, love thee less.
My love involves the love before;
Ny love ia yaster passion now;
Though mixed with God and nature thou,
/ seem to love thee more and mere.
Far off thou art. but ever nigh;
have thee still, and / rejoice.
IproSpcr, circled with thy voice;
/ shall not lose thee, though ! die.

Jumping into Matrimony.
From Lond on Society.

From London Society.
Marriage is unquestionably az decided
a turning point in human destiny as can
be. 1t is, however,a tuning point which,
least of all, should be left to mere blind
chance. Yet mere blind chance often
rules the result. Everybody now recol-
iects how Lord Byron staked on toss up
whether he should make his offer to Miss
Mllbanks or not. Mr.. Grant asserts that
there is an English Duke now living who
wrote the following letter, when Marquis,
to q friend with whom he had agreed to
inspect some carriages at Long Acre:
" IL will not be necessary to meet me
tomorrow to go to Long Acre to look for
a carriage. From remark made by the
Duke (his father to-day, / fancy am
going to be married"
Not only had thes Marquis left his IA
ther to choose bride for him, and to
make the other necessary matrimonial ar
rangements but wien the intimation was
made to him by the Duke that the future
Marchioness had been fixed on, he seem
ed to view the whole affair as if it had
been one which did not concern him in
the least. We have a similar anecdote Of
the late Duke of Sutherland con the
morning Of the day of his marriage, a
friend of his found him leaning careless
ly over the railing ut the edge of the
water IN st. James Park, and throwing
crumbs of bread to the ducks. His friend,
surprised to see him IN such place, and
so engaged, within two hours of the ap.
pointed time for his marriage to one Of
the first women in England-the one in
whose veins the blood of his Towards
flowed, exclaimed What you here to-
day I thought you were going to be
married this morning % " Yes," was the
answer in the most perfect NONCOMPLIANCE,
and throwsng few more crumbs TO the
ducks, without moving from the railing
on which hewas leaning" yes, | believe
/ am" / should hope that sensible men
do not often leave the choice of wife to
be determined IN this intermediate way.

Then the newspapers began to have
paragraphs to the eff ct that there
would soon appear another novel by the
talented author of Louise containing
the true name and portrait of the author

The summer was fitting rapidly by
for every one but Margaret.
One day she left Newport in the morn
ing, and did not return until afternoon.
No one knew the secret of her mission.
Sitting in the twilight of her own room,
she took from her writing desk folded
paper. Reading il, she placed it in an
envelope, wrote Philip Darrell's name
upon it. Then calling waiter She sent
it to Philips room
There" she sighed, g the impeachment

sic, and be happy. As for me, what mat
tiers it, will try and rejoice in his hap
piness, but with all her resignation,
Margaret uttered the passionate cry,
|" God help me to bear this fearful trial .
CHANGING at her watch, she found it to
be nearly eight. Throwing q black lace
mantilla over her head and shoulders she
went down to the beach. Seeking a
rocky seat to which she often repaired,
she seated herself, and resting her head
upon her hand, she gazed long and earn
estly upon the sea, so vast, so awful. I'm
consciously she repeated
Break, break, break

could prevent it, Philip Darrell had
clasped her in his arms, and cried, 90,

bearing your name as its authoress. To

all your work and Philip kissed her
passionately.

Margarets glorious eyes filed with
blissful tears, and she remained with her
head resting upon Philips shoulder, too
happy to speaks At last Philip said
" My blessed darling, never shall one sin

noble generosity. God helping us, we
Will be true to each other during our
lives, and death shall not divide us, Mar

Love is eternal, said those united
hearts; and we will leave them in their
fond belief, trusting that with them at
least it may prove true.

A FAMILY TALoR-A very pretty
Oakland girl, not over eighteen years OF
age, brought suit for breach Of promise
against young merchant, who had
changed his mind and taken richer
bride. The trial came on, and the girl s
mother, fat, red faced old dame, was
present in the bar, to give moral effect to
the recital of her daughters wrongs.
The counsel for the plaintiff, in summing
up, descanted at length and with moving
pathos upon the enormity OF the defend
ants guilt in creeping into the bosom Of
this amily (here the old lady pinned her
shawl closer,) "and deceiving and disap-
pointing this fair grill" Here the ven
cradle mother could contain herself no
longer, but with gushing tears exclaimed
He deceived US all, gentlemen Me
and all the rest-me and all the rest p
The effect was magical, but not just what
the old lady expected.

CHICKENs.-A correspondent of the Farm
Journal states that for some seven years his
chickens have been kept free from lice by
strewing small branches or sprays OF cedar
about the henery. Previous to the use of
this remedy they were badly infested. No
vhitewashing or other means could expel
vermin had been used.

THE GAME or LIFE.

This life Is but game ofcards, which mortals
have to learn;
Each shuilles, cuts, and deals the pack, and each
trump doth turn;
Some bring high card to the top, and others
bring low.
Some hold hand quite flush Of trumps, while
others none can show.
Some shuttle with practised hand, and pack
their cards with care
So they may know, wbep they are dealt, where
all the best cards ares
Thus fools are made the dnpes of rOguas while
rogues each other cheat,
And he Is very wise, indeed, who never meets
defeat.
In playing, some throw out the ace, the count
ing cards 10 save,
Some play the deuce and come the len. but
many play the knavej
Some play for money, some for fan, and some
for worldly fame,
But not until the games played out, can they
count up their game.
When hearts are trumps they play for love, and
pleasure rules the hour
No thought Of sorrow checks our 10y in beauty )
rosy bower;
We sing, We dance, sweet verses make, cur
cards Rtrandom play,
And while our trump remains on top, our
game holluay.
When diamonds chance TO crown the pack. the
players stake their gold
And heavy sums are lost and won, by gamblers
young and old
Intent on winning, each his game doth watch
with eager eye,
How he may see his neighbours cards, and beat
him on the sly.
When clubs are trumps, look out for war, OF
ocean and on land,
For bloody horrors always come when club,
are held in hand
Then lives are staked instead Of gold, the dog
OF war are freed
This side the broad Atlantic late the clubs hav,
had the lead.
Last game OF all is when the spade is turned by
hand of Time
lie always deals the closing game, in every ag,
and cline
No matter how much each man wins, or how
much each man saves,
The spade will finish up the game, and dig th,
players graves.

Remarkable Masonic Incident.

The first Masonic funeral that ever
occurred in California took place in the
year Of 1919, aud was performed over
the body of brother found drowned in
the bay of San Francisco. An account
OF the ceremonies states that on the
body Of the deceased was found a silver
mark OF a mason, upon which were en-.
graved the initials Of his name. A it,
tie further investigation revealed to the
beholders the most singular exhibition
OF Masonic embems that was ever
drawn by the ingenuity OF man upon
the human skin. There is nothing in
the history of Freemasonry equal to it
Beautifully dotted on his left arm, 10
red and blue ink, which time could not
etface, appeared all the emblems Of the
entire apprenticeship. There we're the
Holy Bible the square aud compass,
the twenty-four inch guage, aud the
coAmon gavel. There were also the
Masonic pavement, representing the
ground floor at King Solomon's Temple
the indeuied tessel which surrounds il
and the blazing star in the centre. On
his right arm, artistically executed in
the same indelible liquid, were the EN-.
blems pertaining to the fellow craft de.
gree, viz; the square, the level aud
the plumb. There were also the five
columns representing the FIVE orders of
arehltecture-the tuscan, dorie, ionic.
corinthian aud composite.
In removing the garments from his
body, the trowel presented itself, with
all the other tools Of operative masonry.
Over his heart was the pot of incense.
On the other parts of his body were the
bee hive, the book Of constitutions.

ing eye the anchor and ark, the hour
glass, the iorty,seventh problem Of
Euclid; the sun, moon, stars and
comets; tho three steps emblamatic of
youth, manhood and age. Admirably
executed was the weeping virgin, reclin-
ing on broken column, upon which
lay the book Of constitutions. Iu her
left hand she held the pot of incense
the Masonic cmblem of pure heart,
in her uplilted hand a sprig of Acacia,
the emblem of the immortality Of the
soul.
Immediately beneath her stood winged
Time, with his scythe by his side, which
cuts the brittle thread Of life, and the
hour glass at his feet, which is ever re.
minding us that our lives are withering
away. The withcred and attenuated
fingers of the Destroyer were placed
among the lcng and gracefully flowing
ringlets Of the disconsolate mourner.S
Thus were the striking emblems of
mortality and immortality beautifully
blended in enc pictorial representation
II was a spectacle such as Masons
never saw before, and, in all probability.
such as the fraternity will never witness
again. The brothers name was never
known.
