By cottage walls the lilacs blow: A.''
Rlch spikes OF perfume stand and sway
AT open easements, where all day
The warm wind waves them to and fro.
Out of the shadow of the door,
Into the golden morning air,
Comes one who makes the day more fair
And summer sweeter than before.
The apple blossoms might have shed
Upon her cheek the bloom so rare;
The sun has kissed her bright brown hair.
Braided about her graceful head.
Lightly between the lilacs tall
She passes,-through the garden gate,
Across the road,-and stays to wait
A moment by the orchard wall,
And then in gracious light and shade,
Beneath the blossom laden trees,
Mid song of birds and hum of bees
She stays unconscious, unafraid.
Till swiftly Ger the grassy space
Comes one whose step she taln would stay;
Glad as the newly risen day,
He stoOps to read her dropping face
Her face is like the morning skies,
Bright, timid, tender blushing sweet;
She dares not trust her own to meet
The steady splendor of his eyes.
He holds her with resistless charm, a.ffHh
With truth, with power, with beauty crowned
About her slender waist is wound 'r"rt h8
The strong, safe girdle of his arm $1,000.
And up and down, in shade and light. ......-.

And all the way is strewn with flowers, s..
And life looks like one long delight.
All happy twain no frost shall harm, .
No change shall reach your bliss so long iT'

No death in life would be to fear, Nr..a.

RuSkin'S Utopia.
MAGNIFICENT GIFT TO THE ENGLISH PEoPLl
HOW 1T is TO BE SPENT.

| HOW 1T is TO BE SPENT.
In the current number of F2orS CZavi-
9era an announcement is made by Mr..
Ruskin that he has received the money
for some property which he sold in the
beginning of the year. and that he has
resolved to give 900 to the public
He has requested his man of business to
invest that sum in consols, in the names
of two men of honor. Mr.. Ruskin thus
describes his plan of dealing with this
sum:
~ will tell you little more of what
we are to do with this money as it in.
creases First, let whoever gives us any
be clear in their minds that it is gift.
1t is not an investment. 1t is frank
and simple gift to the British people !;
nothing of it to come back to the giver.
But, also, nothing of it is to be lost. The
money is not to be spent in feeding
Woolwich infants with gunpowder. 1t
is to be spent in dressing the earth and
keeping it, in feeding human lips, in
clothing human bodies, in kindling Lu-
man souls. First of all, say, in dress
ing the earth. AS soon as the fund
reaches any sufficient amount, the trus-
tees shall bay with it any kind of land
offered them at a just price in Britain.
Rock, moor, marsh, or sea shore, it mat
ters not what, so it be English ground,
and secured to us. Then we will ascer-
tain the absolute best that can be made
of every acre. We will first examine
what flowers and herbs it naturally
bears; every wholesome flower that will
grow shall be sown in its wild places,
and every kind of fruit tree that can
prosper; and arabic and pasture land
extended by every expedient of tillage,
with humble and simple cottage dwell
ings under faultless sanitary regulation.
Whatever piece of land we begin work
upon we shall treat thoroughly at once,
putting unlimited manual labor on it,
until we have every foot of it under as
strict care as flower garden; and the
laborers shall be paid sufficient, un-
changing wages; and their children ed
ucated compulsorily in agricultural
schools inland, and naval schools by the
sea, the indispensable first condition
being that the boys learn either to ride
or sail the girls to spin, weave and
sew, and at proper age to cook all or
dinary food exquisitely; the youth of
both sexes to be disciplined daily in the
strictest practice of vocal music; and
for morality, to be taught gentleness to
all brute creatures, finished courtesy to
each other, to speak truth with rigid
care, and to obey orders with the pre-
cision of slaves. Then, as they grow
older, they are to learn the natural his
tory of the place they live into know
Latin, boys and girls both-and the his
tory of five cities-Athens, Rome, Ven.
ice, Florence and London. Now, to
what extent l may be able to carry this
plan into execution | know not; but to
some visible extent, with my own single
hand, [ can, and will, if l live"

The Grounding of the Guerriere.

The Washington Star of the 21st pub
fishes a letter from correspondent on
board the United States steamer Guer-
riere, which ran ashore IA miles from
Leghorn, July 26. From the letter it
would appear that the officers of the
ship were at fault, and that, as in the
case of the grounding of the same
steamer on Nantucket shoals, with the
body of Admiral FarragUt on board,
there was good weather, good wind and
easy navigation. Two lights were dis
tinctly visible when the steamer struck,
and the sailing directions warn ships to
give Vado light wide berth, which was
not done. The chart, it is reported,
marked thirteen fathoms, instead OF
thirteen feet, the depth of water in
which the vessel struck. The letter
says:
"She struck with vengeance, for
she was running with full steam power
and all sail set with top-gallant breeze
on the port beam. The masts trembled
like reeds shaken by the wind, and we
expected every moment to see the up
per ones come down upon the deck. In
few hours floating fragments of wood,
covered with copper, showed us plainly
that the false keel was going fast. The
bolts fastening il to the true keel were
forced into the boilers, which were soon
disabled, with one exception. The ship
was manifestly logged, as shown by the
alterations in the curves of her lines,
the broken knees and starboard water
way. Two Italian steamers came to our
assistance, and, after hard work, un-
loading guns, spars, provisions, ETC., we
were dragged off and towed up to Spez-
zia, where ample facilities for docking
ships exist. The water has not been
completely removed from the dock, but
from the report of the government div
ers it would appear that the keel is
more than half cut through in one or
two places, SO that after the ship shall
have been patched up here she will
never be the old Guerrero in strength
and seaworthiness until rebuilt"
The letter also states that the ex-
penses attending the accident will GER
tainly amount to $4,000, and that, if
the engines have to be removed, as the
Italian engineers declare, the cost will
be more than double that amount. The
ship must also be laid up for three or
four months. Captain Stevens is the
officer commanding.

THE WAY TO GET MARRIED.

One fine morning in autumn Linval
was taking walk in the Tuileries at
Paris, and found an open billet contain
ing the following lines:
" If the person who finds this paper
is disposed to perform benevolent ac-
ton, he is requested to inquire at No.
$40 Rue Saintonge, for Eugene de
Mirande. Such as may not be inclined
to assist an unfortunate mother are re-
quested at least not to hinder others,
and to throw this billet again where
they find it.''
Linval, the best dancer in Paris, was
just humming a new tune; he picked
up the paper and, after reading it,
whisked it up in the air with his cane
and pursued his walk. The next per-
son who noticed it was an elderly man,
simply dressed, who was hurrying to
the public office in which he had a
place, because he was already late. He
contrived, nevertheless, to spare so
much time as was necessary to read the
billet. However, struggling up MS
shoulders and raising his eyes to heaven,
as much as to say, "That is no concern
of mine,n he carefully replaced it in its
former situation. He was followed by
a farmer-general, one of the moderate
people who are satisfied if they can
clear three thousand livres day; who,
elated by their wealth, give themselves
airs of such consequence, and of whom
La Bruyere says that they chem loud
and spit far
At first he kicked the billet along
with his foot, but, his curiosity being
excited, he took it up, threw his eye
over it with a scornful smile, amused
himself in tearing it in pieces, at the
same time muttering, ian impudent
imposture.h
The next morning similar billet lay
on the same spot. The first person who

THE HACKNEYED idea that the offspring
of marriages of cousins and other near
blood relations are specially liable to
bodily and mental diseases was brought
forward by Professor Richard Owen, of
the Indiana State University, at the
meeting of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science, re-
Gently sitting at Indianapolis. The Pro-
fessor cited no evidence in support of
the doctrine except his own personal
observation. He seems to be ignorant
of the result of late inquiries, which
show by statistics that the blood rela-
tionship of parents, per Sc, has nothing
to do with the health or sickness of the
children; though it is true that where
the father and mother, being both of
the same family, are liable to the same
hereditary disease, that disease will be
likely to show itself in their children.
A perfectly healthy man marrying a
perfectly healthy woman will have
healthy offspring, and a sickly man
marrying a sickly woman will have
sickly offspring, whether near of kin or
not. The relationship is only an accl-
dental circumstance, not moving
cause of deterioration.

ABOUT OYsTERs.-It is a well-knoTn
fact that an oysterman can tell the age
of bivalves to a nicely. This is not
done, however, by looking them in the
mouth, but simply by counting the sue
cessive layers or plates overlapping each
other, of which an oyster shell rs COM
posed. These are technically termed,
s'shoots, ''and each of them marks years
growth. Up to the time of the maturi-
ty of the oyster these shoots are regular
and successive, but after that Tune they
become irregular, and are piled one
over the other so that the shell becomes
more and more thickened and bulky.
Judging from the size and thickness
which some shells attain, this mollusk
is capable of attaining patriarchal
longevity. and an oyster with fifty or
even threescore years upon its back
may by chance be met with. They are
in perfection when from five to seven
years old.
