THOU cANsT NOT FORGET ME

Thou canst not forget me, for memory will fling
Her light DER oblivions dark sea ;
And wherever thou roamest q something will cling
10 thy bosom that whispers of me;
Tho the chords ofthy spirit now may not sweep,
vi my touch they'll retain a soft thrill,
Like the low undertone of the mournfulvoiced deep
When The wind that hath swept il is still
The love that is kept in the beauty of trust,
Cannot pass like the foam from the seas,
Or mark that the finger has traced in the dust,
When It's swept by the breath of the breeze;
They tell me my love thou wilt calmly resign,
Yet Know zen while listening to them,
Thou wilt sigh for the heart that was linked unto thine
As II rose bud is linked to its stem.
Thou canst not forget me- too long thou hast flung
Thy spirits soft pinion DER mine
Too deep was the promise, that round my lips clung
AS they softly responded to thine,
In the hush of the twilight, beneath the blue skies
My presence will mantle thy soul,
And feeling of softncss will rush to thine eyes
TOO deep for thy manhoods control.
Thou mayst to thine own isle of beauty and fame
Far, far from the land of the free,
Yet each wind that floats round thee will murinur
the name
That is softer than music TO thee
And when round thee darky misfortunes shall crowd
Thoult think, like the beautiful form
Vi The rainbow that arches the thick tempest. cloud
My love would have frightened the storm.
Thou canst not forget me, the passions that dwelt
In the depths of thy soul could not die,
With the memory all thou has murinlred and felt
In thy bosom twill slumbering lie;
ltlon inayst turn to another and wish to forget
Int the wish will not bring thee rcpose.
For ah thou wilt find that the thorn Of regret

child two years old in that place from
remarkable cai.se. Soon after tie first
signs of violent illness the body of the
child sweled to nearly twice its natural
size, and it died vomiting blood. a
post mortem examination revealed in the
coating of the stomach, with its huge
horns firmly imbeGed,an enormous stag
beetle. The only explanation that could
be found of the presence of the, insect
in the stomaeh was that given BY the
child's mother, who Said that the night
the child was taken sick, aud few mo,

asked for drink The mother gave
the child drink from cup containing
water, aud sitting upon chair beside

these horned beetles had fallen into the
cup while flying aboiit the room, and the
child drank it with the watet -Roches-

A Hen Hatching an Eagle.

Mr.. John D. Fries, of South Coven-
try township, Pa, is trying the expert
ment of raising an eagle hatched by a
hen. The Pottstown Ledger gives the
following account: "About month ago,
while on Nye's Hill, he saw large bird
fly up from lonely place among the
rocks. Proceeding to the spot he dis
covered two eggs, of nearly the size and
appearance of turkey eggs, which he
picked up, brought home, and placed un
der setting hen. About week ago
the eggs were hatched out, and Mr.
Fries was astonished to find that they
were eagles. The old hen Must have
been considerably surprised too, for she
spluttered about, tramped upon one of
her rare progeny and killed it. The
other one will probably grow up and do
well. Eagles sometimes carry off chick
ems, and it would be rather a joke if this
specimen would some day gather up the
old hen that hatched it and fly away with
her.''
