Regardless OF heat and STENCIL the devoted residents

LLEKS PITY.

I think the pity of this life is love:
For though my rosebud, thrilling into life,
Kissed by the love-beams of the glowing
sun,
Meets his fond gaze with her pure, tender
eyes,
Filled with the rapture of glad surprise
That from his light her glory shall be won
Yet, when into her very heart he sighs,
Behold she puts away her life-and dies.
/ think the pity of this life is love:
Because to me but little Joy has come
OF all that most / hoped would make ife's
sun;
For though the perfumed seasons come and
go,
The spring birds warble, cen the rivers flow
To meet some love to which their own doth
run,
NV bud of love hath bloomed for other eyes,
And am left-to sorrow aud to sighs.
think the pity of this life is love:
For from our love we gather all lifes pain,
And place too oft our hearts on earthly
shrines,
Where we would kneel-but where, alas! we
Beneath shadow ever past recall:
We seek for gold, when It's but dross that
shines.
Then-if we may not turn our hearts above
know the pity of this life is love.

THE TIGHB0RNE TRIAL.
A Slight Hitch i'm the Testimony

The London correspondent of the New
York Times, writing under date of May 81,
says:-The Tichborne case has been going on
smoothly till Thursday, when one of the wit
nesses for the claimant broke down under
cross-examination. On the previous day he
pleaded illness, and was released from the
witness box. When he afterward returned
there he was at first very cool and collected.
He had been q trooper in the Carabineers,
and Rogers servant when he was an officer in
that regiment; and he was positive enough
as to the claimant being his old master,
Notwithstanding his greatly increased bulk
and other changes in appearance. The oppos-
ing counsel pressed him very hard as to
whether he had been getting up the case for
the claimant, coaching him in his evidence,
and bringing people to swear to his identity;
and although he would admit nothing, he
was equally resolute in denying nothing. He
would not say he had not declared that the
claimant was an impostOr, and took refuge
in monotonous repetition of 81 don't re-
member, II forget one way or another"
Of course the claimant is not responsible for
such conduct, and it certainly does not fol-
low that the claim is fraudulent Just because
this witness is a drunken, disreputable fellow,
evidently determined to make good thing
out of his ''old MASTER" in one way or
another. The claim is, therefore, baseless.
Quill ds tue ouus oA PROOF HOS Oh tue
claimant, all sorts of wild stories are now
afoat in regard to this suit. One is that the
claimant is really Sir Roger, but that his mar
rative of his adventures is, In large degree,
fabrication, in order to conceal the fact that
he committed murder in South America
for which he might still be called to account
Again it is rumored that the counsel for the
actual possessor of the baronetcy and estates
is prepared to prove that the claimant is
Horton, butcher, on the evidence of
Horizons sister herself. If this happens,
there will be strange conflict of testimony,
a sister swearing to brother and an old lady
swearing to son, and one or other being
necessarily wrong.

EXTRAORDINARY VITALITY oFORGANIo GERMS.
One of the most curious facts in connection
with chemical research is the remarkable vita
lity of the lower organisms in nature. In
vegetable subjects, for instance, vitality may
lie dormant for period which is almost in
conceivable. Stramonium seeds, according
to Duhamel, can develop after remaining
twenty-five years under ground. Friewald
observed the generation of melon seed after
they had been kept more than forty years.
Pliny goes so far as to say that corn grew
after it had been kept a hundred years.
And there seems no reason to doubt
the fact, for Desmoulins obtained
plants from seeds found in Roman tomb of
the third or fourth century. Moreover,
it is we'll known that corn found in some of
the tombs of ancient Egypt has terminated
and grown to perfection; and the result of the
experiment of sowing some of this mummied
corn in this country has been the production
of new ears larger and more prolific than
those of our modern wheat. A squill-bulb,
too, found in the hands of a mummy, has,
when planted at the present day and in this
country, grown and blossomed as readily as
the last years hyacinth- from Holland,
which flowers in our windows every spring
