BETROTHAL.

o for one hour of such enchanted light
AS made a fairer daytime in the sky,
When on the willow bank We sat that night,
My old-time love and I!
A while we talked so low and tcnderly,
We felt the listening trees above us lean;
And louder far the silence seemed tome
That fell at last between.
Her heart lay floating ON its quiet thoughts
Like water-lillies on a tranquil lake;
And Love within, unk Known, because
unsought,
Lay dreaming half awake.
All, Love Is lightcst sleeper ever known!
A whisper, and he started plain to view;
Old as the heavens seemed our story grown,
While yet the moon was new.
And when she spoke, her answer seemed
the while
Sweeter for sweetness of the lips that told,
Setting precious word within smile
A diamond ringed with gold.
Then bloomed for us the perfect century
flower;
Then filled the cup aud overran the brim;
And oil the stars PROFESSIONAL, that hour,
Chanted a bridal-hymn.
All, Time all after-days may fly away,
Such Joy as that thou hast but once to give;
And Love is royal from his crowning-day
Though kingdomless he live.

Don't turn cattle out upon grass lands,

hoofs to its great injury, and all the feed
they get is of very little use to them.

Don't leave in the fields the stones
piled up in spring after narrowing in

them off either at once, or in the fall.
The longer they stand the more of an

Don't let the vegetables in your cellar
remain so late into the spring as to be-

them in season, before the danger is up

kind of seed that has been handed

CAN'T YOU WAIT?-The following
anecdote appears in the Editors drawer
of the April numl er Of Ha'per's Mngn-
zine, a fact which warrants our giving
it further publicity by transferring 1t to
our columns:
The Rev. Alexander Mckenzie, now
the popular pastor of the Congregation
al church at Cambridge, Massachusetts,
was formerly settled in Augusta, Maine.
During his residence at that place he
boarded with a Mr.. ------, who was
a Universalist of the most determined
character, denying all the points OF Cal
vanism, and always ready to argue III
favor of his peculiar views. On one oc-
casion the subject OF the existence OF a
personal devil became the the topic OF
discussion. Mr.. Mckenzie ardently
pleaded in behalf of his Satanic majesty,
while Mr.. vehemently CON
troverted his arguments. Growing
warm in the contest, Mr.. --- avoW.
ed that if such being As q personal
devil, described and believed in by Mr..
Mckenzie and his religious brethren,
really existed, he would be glad to see
and meet him. With significant and
funny twinkle of his eye, Mr.. Mckenzie
replied, ,,,

A CURIOUS CUsToM.-It was the GUS
tom in Babylon, five hundred years
before the Christian era. to have an
annual auction of the unmarried ladies.
In every year, on a certain stated day,
each district assembled all its virgins
of manageable age. The most beauti-
full were put up first, and the man who
bid the highest gained possession ofher,
and so on, so that the bidders might
crafty themselves with handsome wives,
according to the length of their purses.
There may yet remain in Babylon some
for whom no money was offered, but
the provident Babylonians managed
that. When all the comely ones are sold,
the crier orders the most deformed to
stand up, and after demanding who will
marry her for small sum, she is adjudg
ed to him who is satisfied with the
least; and in this manner the money
raised from the sale Of the handsome
serves as a portion to those who are
either OF disagreeable looks, or that have
any other imperfection.

A Baby's SoliloQuy.
l am here!


And if this is what they call the
great world, I don't think much of it..
1t is a very fiannelly world, and smells
awfully of paregoric. It's a dreadful
light world, too; and makes me blink,
tell you. And l don't know what to
do with my hands; think I'll put my
fists in my eyes. No, I won't. I'll
scatch at the corner of my blanket and
chew 1t up; and then I'll holler-what-
ever happens, I'll holler; and the more
parogoric they give me, the louder I'll
yell. That old nurse puts the spoon in
the corner of my mouth in a very unea-
sy way, and keeps tasting my milk
herself all the time. She spilled snuff
in it last night, and when 1 hollered,
she trotted me. That comes of being a
two days old baby. Never mind, when
Pm man I'll pay her back good
There's a pin sticking in me now,

MOHAMMED.

Mohammed was o little above the
medium stature, strongly but sparely
built, winh broad shoulders and a slight
stoop; his hair was black, and in his
prime clustered over his ears; his fore
head large, with q prominent vein,
which swelled when angry; his beard
and mustache luxuriant and very
beautiful, reaching half way down his
chest; his complexion fair, eyes large,
black, piercing, blood-shot, and restless;
his teeth white and well-formed, stood
apart; his walk SO rapid that others
needed to run to keep pace with him ;
and his gait like that of man stridipg
down hill.
He was simple in all his apparel;
never wore silk but once, and then
threw it aside in disgust, saying it was
no fit dress for a man. His common
attire was cotton, striped with white
and red. Like all Arabs, he had no
taste for comfort. A low hut of burnt
tiling, with palm-tree roof, would
have been perferred to a palace.
Still, he was in some things of ex-
tremly delicate and sensitive taste, as in
tie use of perfumes, and distaste for
unpleasant odors.
At Medina he once sent back a dish of
mutton favored with onions, saying it
was not agreeable to his angel. He
never Travelled without tooth picks, and
antimony for his eyes. He listened
we'll in conversation, and in shaking
hands was never the first to withdraw
his own.
He was not like Arabs in general,
passionately found Of sports and games,
and in all things most unlike the heroic
ideal of Arabic character.
He was born in the city of Mecca,
A. D., 57l, from which place he fled to
Medina, July 1852. This fight gave
rise to the epoch in chronology called
the Hegira, which in Arabic denotes to
flee, or quit ones country, home or
friends.
The creed of Mohammed was planned
in cave near Mecca. A Persian Jew,
we'll versed in history and the laws, and
two Christians, were his assistants.
One of the latter was of the Jacobite,
and the other of the HISTORIAN sect
With this help he framed the Koran,
which he pretended to receive from the
angel Gabriel, written in the Koresh
Arabic, which he declared was the Ian
guage of Paradise. In this language
there are 900 terms for sword, 500 for
lion, 300 for serpent, and so for honey.
1t Is supposed to be written about the
year 61O, and it's object was to unite
Christians and Jews, with the different
professions Of idolatry, iu the worship of
one God, under certain laws and GER
emonies, exacting obedience to Maho-
met as Prophet.
The style Of the volume is fluent,
concise, and beautiful, and where the
attributes of God are described, it is
sublime and magnificent. 1t admits the
divine mission of both Moses and Christ.
The leading article of faith is compound
ed of an eternal truth and u necessary
fiction, namely, that there is only one
God, and Mahomet is his apostle. He
died in 53l, Of the effects of slow poi
son, given to him by Jew, three years
before, in piece Of mutton, in order to
discover whether he was true prophet,
and immortal, as he declared himself to
be. Millions have visited his shrine
since that day, from every quarter OF
the globe.

Among the Cossacks of the Ukraine,

Among the Cossacks of the Ukraine,
leap-year is eternal. When a young
woman feels tender passion for
young man she seeks him at the resi-
dence of his parents, and addresses him
as follows: 1.-The goodness | see written
in your countenance Is a sufficient as
surance to me that you are capable OF
ruling and loving wife, and your ex'
cellent qualities encourage me to hope
that you will make good husband. 1t
is in this belief that ! have taken the
resolution to come and beg you, with all
due humility, to accept me for your
spouse." She then addresses the father
and mother, and solicits their consent
