Brave Love.
By MARY KYLE DALLAS.

He'd nothing but his violin.
I'd nothing but my song,
But we were wed when skies We're blue
And summer days were long;
And when we rested by the hedge,
The robins came and told
How they had dared to WOO and win
When early spring was cold.
We sometimes supped on dew-berries'
Or slept among the hay,
But oft the farmers wives at eve
Came out to hear us play
The rare old tunes, the dear old tunes
We could not starve for long,
While my man had his violin,
And / my sweet love song.
The world has aye gone well with us,
Old man, since we were one;
Our homeless wandering down the lanes
1t long ago was done;
But those who wait for gold or gear,
For houses and for kline,
Till youths sweet spring grows brown and sere
And love and beauty tine, ..
Will never know the joy of hearts
That met without fear.
When you had but your violin,
And a song, my dear.

How MIR. Greeley Was Engaged to
Lecture for a Western Lyceum.

Mr.. M. b. Castle, as most lecturers
know, is the thrifty President of Bank
at Sandwich, Ill, and the active manager
of the lyeeum in that town. He lately
wrote letter, inviting Mr.. Greeley to
lecture there in the next seasons course.
Mr.. Greeley's reply was in handwriting
which, the editor of the Sandwich Gazette
says, it would be no sin to worship, as
there is nothing in earth, or sea, or
heaven, like unto it. Several experts
tried to read it, with varying results.
One thought it was an editorial on the
tariff, and the figures 60 in it referred to
the duty on pig iron. Another thought
it had reference to the Mcfarland trial.
Finally Mr.. Castle translated it as fol-
lows:
"DEAR SIR: 1 am available and will
come. 1t will be $60-next February Sd
AS to other lectures, it seems that | must
decline, except in your Immediate vicini-
ty-if l do not come in February"
The rest of the letter looked as if some
body had smashed bottle of ink on it
and tried to wipe it off with curry comb
But Mr.. O., having so large latitude to
guess in, read it as an acceptance and an
swered:
SANDWICH, ILL.,, May 10, 1870.
"H0race Greeley, Ne1o York Tribune:
"DEAR SIR Your acceptance cf our
invitation to lecture before our associa-
ton next winter, came to hand this NOR
ming. Your penmanship not being the
plainest, it took some time to translate it,
but we succeeded, and would say your
time-'3d of Feb'-and terms-'$ 60'-are
entirely satisfactory. AS you suggest,
we may be able to get you other engage
ments in this immediate vicinity if so
we will advise you. Very respectfully,
I'M. B. CASTLE"
About week afterward there went to
Sandwich the following indignant re-
spouse very legibly written:
"NEw YORK TRIBUNE, May 16.
"DnAn srns hove ye~ars of tho 18th
inst. did not write you that could
lecture for you the Sd of February, or
any other day. Yours,
"HoRAcE GREELEY.
IN B. Castle, Sandwich, Ill"
1t thus turned out that Mr.. Greeley's
original letter, which Mr.. Castle blum
dered in ciphering, was as follows;
"NEw YORK TRIBUNE, May 8, 1870.
''DEAR SIR: I am overworked and
growing old. shall be sixty next Feb
| ruary, Sd. On the whole it seems that
must decline to lecture henceforth, except
in this immediate vicinity, if do at all.
1 cannot promise TO visit Illinois on that
errand-certainly not now. Yours,
