ny HOWARD GLYNDoN.
Oh. fallen with the falling leaves.
And level with the dust, as they
Thy beauty, City of the Lake,
Is but thing OF yesterday.
Thou wondrous blossom of the West
We were so passing proud of thee:
" See" said we to the elder world,
How cities grow when men are free !"
Thy senior sisters, looking on
With dazed. half-unbelieving eyes,
Saw thee, like Hercules of old,
Swift into ripe estate arise.
And seeing thee so fair. how high
The hearts of all thy children were,
We would not blame them if to-day
They bowed their faces in despair;
Or, newly risen from troubled sleep.
Stared, with uncOmprehending eyes,
On homesteads smouldering, black and bare,
Beneath the mild October skies;
Where, here and there. but yesterday
lowered up such sumptuous witnesses
OF their devoted hearts and hands
God help them in this sore distress!
And saying this, the Nation takes
These houselesS children of the West
Into her mOtherly embrace,
And hides the homeless in her breast.
Not houseless while our homes have room
Not homeless-all our doors are wide
The welcome that we send to-day
Is tinctured with eXulting pride.
For who has heard one craven cry,
Though thousands wander, lorn and pale?
Oh, strong young city, sorest tried,
There's bravery even in thy wall!
To where thou slit we bring the world.
And show thy ruins, saying. See!
She is not broken, only bent;
For hearts are strong when men are free"

Information for Smokers.

The question of how old cigar should
be before being smoked is often dis
puted one. Cubans like a green cigar.
The workmen, who ought to know,
smoke the cigars as they make them.
If you go to certain well-known cigar
store in New York, already quite cele-
brated for its Cuban cigars made in the
city, and buy cigar there, before hand
ing it to you the very courteous Cuban
will, with great deliberation, first apply
the cigar to his ear. You ask, what
ia that for?'' "To see, or rather hear,
how dry it is. If too dry it will snap
very short. / can hear it. A green
cigar is soft and makes no noise"
allow old ought cigar to be?'' :" In
two or three weeks in this climate a
cigar is dry enough-longer than that
does not improve it,"

The Reign OF the Baby.

Our baby boy il king. is king!
lie rules with "a mighty sway,
But before you can understand the thing
You must watch his ways Tor a day.
From poking my sleepy eyes at dawn.
He turns to my boots on the floor.
And plays such pranks with them on the sly
As no one e'er dreamed Of before.
In vain when wake. tug and pull
The boot is no longer a mt;
And baby looks on in his innocent way:
You'd never suspect him bit.
You'd never dream, till you turned them out
What treasures n boot can hold:
But bless you it's only a trick of the kings
It's better TO laugh than to scold.
Mamma. dear slave now dresses the pet
And leaves him tidy and trim
All! why did somebody fill up the tub
In the bathroom, near TO the primF
"Ohl fe, Oh fie" she cries. "how wrong!"
When the splash and the roar betray:
But she pitics ut heart her dripping boy
And the king has had his way.
AT breakfast. his majesty has a tiff.
Or "a tantrum. bout his wishes
Till the end of it all is chair capsized.
And terrible crash OF dishes.
Off runs mamma for water. for help!
The darling will surely have hts
But when she returns, his innocent hands
Are tearing her album to bits.
And so all day the king, our boy,
Makes mischief his royal pleasure;
He laughs and cries. and kisses and tights.
And still is our blessed treasure.
At last, from roaming the mansion through
He finds such a lovely sky-light!
And mounts the stair to the roof-O my!
This happens, we'll say, at twilight.
A miss is as good as q mile, you know.
And the edge Of a roof isn't over;
Mamma with heart in her throat leans out
And captures the dear little rover.
Asleep at last in his downy bed
No,c cat may look at our king.
And never be leased or mauled at all
Which you'll own is wonderful thing.
And we-mamma and myself-well we
Are just his father and mother
So we bend o 'er the sleeper, and proudly thin
There never was such another.
HAPPY AFTER-THOUGHr.

A Virginia Rival of the Yosemite.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune gives an interesting account of
the New River gorge in Virginia, through
which q railway is now in course OF
construction. The trail is not only
sleeper and more difficult than that of
the Yosemite, but so instead of two
miles long. The scenery is exceedingly
wild. The river rises in North Carolina
and flows northward and westward until
it falls into the Kanawha, about two
miles from the great falls. It's water is
too warm to drink its current is fierce
and treacherous; its course is full OF
rapids, so that navigation is impossible;
and even lumber RATS cannot be floated
on it safely; its banks are steep, and in
many parts precipitous, and from 500
to | 200 feet high. 1t has, for at least
fifty miles above the Kanawha, abso.

the Hoosac bore, will be one OF the fea-
lures of the railway through this
