THE TWO DAFFODILS.
BY JOHN a. woMAcK.

BY JOHN a. woNAcK.
Down by a darls-hued, murmuring river.
Grew two danodils, bride and groom;
Pure and true was their love forever,
Sun-kissed OF their fairy bloom
Daises smiled at them out OF the hedges,
Pale lilies bowed 10 them soon In the morn.
While up from their burrows, with sun-bright
edges,
Gamboled the squirrels that ate up the corn.
Drop by drop came the dew 50 tender.
Shining bright through the sky-light brown
Just then saw the lily's splendor
shine the heads of the dafiodils' down.
but sim their beauty grows and fingers,
And all the fields seem low and lorn
Whenever they see the lily's fingers
shame the light OF the early morn.
Waving fields with plume and tassel;
SKY with its hues and meon-gllt rooms;
Where the elves la the starbeams nestle
What are these 10 the lily's plumes?
winds through the hill-top's misty covering
Now kissed the sweet buds lips OF blue
sang the field-lark over them lowering.
While all the word seemed just made new;
Then ON and on through tie spring time
weather
Grew the dahodils ahead OF the rest;
sun, they were lovers dwelling together
In the crimson light ofthe sunny west.
autumn with summers Tears abiding
Sweet buds all in their mourning dressed
Back ana forward, the sunbeams gliding
Pale buds weeping breast 10 breast.
See! the two lovers, sad, are now pining,
And Griefs like lead on the liIy's brow:
Under her heart frosty lining.
And in each vein Ieath-pang, now.
Where are the dew-pearls with eyes all shady,
\ wreath Of sun-dew in their hands
Slowly they follow their iee-clad lady,
With frosty iear-drops in the sands.
Death-it is not an death 10 be dying
sad and dreary our death-lay doomi

SLEEP AS A MEDICINE.-A physician
says the cry for rest has always been
louder than the cry for food. Not that
it is more important, but it is often
harder to obtain. The best rest comes
from sound sleep. OF two men orwOm-
en-, otherwise equal, the one who sleeps
the best will be the most moral, healthy
and efficient. Sleep will do much to
cure irritability of temper, peevishness
and uneasiness. 1t will restore to vigOr
an overworked brain. 1t will build up
and make strong a weary body. It will
cure headache. 1t will cure q heart
ache. 1t will cure n broken spirit
II will cure sorrow. Indeed we might
make long list Of nervous and other
maladies that sleep viii cure. The cure
Of sleeplessness requires q clean, good
bed, sufficient exercise to produce wear
iness, pleasant occupation, good air, and
not too warm a room, clear stomach,
clear conscience, and avoidance of
stimnlants and narcotics. For those
who are overworked, haggard, nervous,
who pass sleepless nights, we commend
the adoption of such habits as shall Sc
cure sleep; otherwise life will be short
and what there is of it sadly imperfect

period of about twenty years, and dur

The ConxressioraI Chapiainey

The following extract OF a letter
written by Horace Greeley while a
member OF Congress, in lS4S, which
we find in Mr.. Ingersolrs graceful and
impartial Life Of Greeley, is no anach'
ronism in these days Of Credit Mobilier
and Chaplain Newman.
"Ou the third day, the Senate did
not even succeed in forming a quorum,
out of fiity-seven or eight members,
who are all sure to be in for their pay
and mileage, only twenty.nine appear
ing in their seats; and the annual
hypocrisy of electing a chaplain had
to 20 over and waste another day. If
either House had a chaplain who dare
preach to its members what they ought
to hear-ot their faithlessness, their
neglect OF duty, their Ubiquitous waste
of time, and robbery OF the public by
taking from the treasury money which
they do not even attempt to earn-then
there would be some sense in the chap
lain business; but any ill-bred Nathan
or Elijah who should undertake such
a Job would be kicked out in short or
der. So the chaplaincy remains a thing
of grimace and mummery, nicely CAL
culated to help some aeckless and com,
PLEASANT shepherd to a few hundred
dollars, and impose upon deyout sims
pletops an exalted notion of the piety
Of Congress. Should not the truth be
spoken ?"
