But little we wrecked, whether 'twere wrong
or 'twere right.
And sti as those white arms held me so lpht,
kissed you and dark eyes, upraising to mine
Showed my heart the deep love that was we'll

Half banning reprOachful, vet more with de-

Pure mOdesty veiing-not hiding-loye's fire.
Red lips returning the kiss that pressed, i.

Whilst thou, sweetest love, on my true breast
didst lie
And tile kiss-both lingering-foated off on

Of that moment doth yet the red life current
warm:
1t tinges each vision, ii hallows each dream,
And day thoughts of thee with sweet memories

Oh, may We, when life's weary roamngs shall
end,
In one passionate folding the last moments
spend
Lip clinging to lip, in passion of bliss,
And lilies curtain fall on the last burning kiss.

SELECT POETRY.
The Boys,

The Boys.
There come the boys Oh dear, the noise,
The whole house feels the racket
Behold the knee of Harrys pants,
And weep DER Berties jacket
But never mind, if eyes keep bright,
And limbs grow straight and timber;
Wed rather lose the trees whole bark
Than find unsound the timber.
Now hear the tops and marbles roll
The floors-Oh, woe brtide them
And must watch the bannisters,
For know boys who ride them
Look well as you descend the stairs,
often find Them haunted
BY ghosty toys that make no noise
Just when their noise is wanted
The very chairs are tied in pails
And mace to prance and caper;
What swords are whitfield out of sticks
~ What brave hats made OF paperl
The dinner bell peals loud and well,
To tell the milkmen's coming; ...
And then the rush of steam car trains"
Set all our cars a-humming.
How oft 1 say, "What shall l do
To keep these children quet?"
If l could find good receipt
certainly should try it.
f, But what TO do with these wild boys,
And all their din and clatter,
Is really quite a grave affair
No laughing, tiifiing matter.
"Boys will be boys but not for long!
All, could we bear about US
This thought-how very soon our boys
Will learn to do without us

The Lake.

Th following thing has recently been put
forth concerning our great lakes:
"Lake Erie is only sixty or seventy
feet deep; bat Lake Ontario, which is
502 feet deep, is $50 feet below the tide
level of the ocean, or as low as most
parts of the Cult of st. Lawrence; and
the bottom Of Lakes Huron, Michigan
and Superior, although the surface is so
much higher, are all, from their vast
depths, on a level with the bosom of
Lake Ontario. Now, as the discharge
through the river DetriOt, after allowing
for the probable portion carried of by
evaporation, does not appear by any
means equal to the quantity of water
which the three upper lakes receive, it
has been conjectured that subterranean
river may run from Lake Superior, by
Huron, to Lake Ontario. This conject-
ure is by no means improbable, and ac-
counts for this singular fact that salmon
and herring are caught in all lakes COM
municating with the ST. Lawrence, but in
no others. AS the Falls of Niagara,
must have always existed, it would puz-
zle the naturalist to say how these fish
60 into the upper lakes without some
such subterranean river; moreover, any
periodical obstruction of the river would
furnish not improbable solution of the
mysterious fux and refiux of the lake."

The Saratoga correspondent of the
Boston Globe, writing of the expenses
of a season at that place says: "As to
the r,atter OF outfit, have heard several
gentleman of wealth say this season that
the cost Of their daughters wardrobe,
including ornaments, was from IS, 900 to
S25, 900, and their expenses here from
$3.50 to $500 per week. This includes
of course, carriages, tootman, etc., while
there vas few who sported four-in-hand
who pay 81, 900 per week tor full reti-
nue.. The sales OF wine alone, at the
four leading hotels, have thus far been
about $4,000, to which add S. day to
each individual, will make good sum
for the 10000 who have been there.

WHY AMERICAN WoMEN ARE ELI
CATE.--Anolher reason of the delicacy of
our women is the far greater style affect
ed by all classes in dress, and the wear
ing of corsets i'll early youth. Natural
ly if one has attained "a iull and fiue physi-
cal Development, tight corsets. heavy
skirts, closc-flting boots and weighty
cbignOns can not injure to the same ex-
ten; as when these appliances of fashion
are put upon the soft and yielding mus
cles Of a young aud growing girl. The
noble ladies of England exercise many
hours daily i'll the open air. They do
not disdain to don heavy calf.skin shoes
and colored pettcoats, in which to per-
form this duty. This, of course, would
not make them as healthy as they are,
were not their constitutions strengthen
ed by proper physical education before
they are eighteen years Of age, but it suf-
fices 10 retain them in a good degree of
health. Our fair Americans early in the
day attire themselves in charming morn
ing costumes, with white skirts, and then
they are averse to sOiling those by exer-
else, and the least dampness deters them
from promenade. American ladies'
think far more of dress and fashion, and
spend more money and time on their
toilets than any women IN Europe, not
even excepting the French, from whom.
all our fashions come.

TO the popuiAce, new thing.
1t is true that the system is IN reality An
old one, but as applied to the iaw-mak-
ing body in the State, it 10 new here.
The mere mention Of the subject IN the
new Constitution viii accomplish one
good purpose in that it will serve to
direct public attention to the matter !;
awaken inquiry and observation; ana
enable all classes in the State TO vote
upon it, when it 10 submitted to vote,
more inteIligently than now. At the
same time we will all have 40 oppor-
tunity of learning how it works else
where and it will thus become less an
experiment than it cow seems to be.
In judging the action of the Conven-
ton 10 this matter, the public must re-
member that from the time OF the
formation of the State of West Virginia
until lees than two years ago, the Dem
ocratic party in the State was kept
under by test oaths. prescriptions ana
acknowledgements, and was made the
victim of all the oppression on the par
OF the Radicals that selishuess ana
malignity could devise. Political
outrages unheari Of elsewhere
the complete history OF which
will never be fully known
were during seven years inflicted upon
the Democratic party. Less than two
years ago the revolution occurred and
its sweeping character is shown BY the
fact that out OF seventy-eight members
of this Constitutional Convention only
twelve were elected as Republicans and
one of these received Democratic sup
port. In view Of all these clrcum'
stances, it was certainly an act Of rare
magnanimity for the Democrats 10 Con
veution to consent to put 10 the Constr
tuition of the State a provision that
looks toward giving to their political
foes a representation in the Legislature
proportioned to their popular strength
