Love IS ENOUGH; or the Freeing of Phar-
almond. A Morality. By VIM. Morris.
l2mo., PIP. lao. Boston: Roberts Bros.
From A. l.. Bancroft & Co.
This poem is from the pen of an English
poet, one who has received much praise
from the English and American press on the
publication of " The Earthly Paradise" and
" The Life and Death of JASON" Love
is Enough" is for the greater part written in
alliterative measure, metrical construction
which has fallen into such total disuse that,
says the Atteneuma, its reviver might fairly
be entitled to the claim of invention. To
convey an idea of the story we give the
opening argument" "This story, which
is told by way of morality, set before an
Emperor aud Empress newly welded, show
eth king whom nothing but Love might
satisfy, who left all to seek Love, and hav-
ing found it, found this also, that he had
enough though he lacked all else" This
liking" was Pharamond, the liberator of his
country, whose five years reign had been
greatly distinguished by valorous deeds.
Suddenly and unaccountably he loses all in
terest in his customary duties and pleasures,
and finally, after every effort had been made
to arouse him from his lethargy, he con-
fesses to his fostor-father, Master Oliver,
that he loves, but the loved one had ap-
peared to him in dreams only. At length,
his empire secure in its prosperity, he starts
in company with Master Oliver to find the
maiden. Three years of weary wandering
have nearly extinguished all hope of success,
when, in most poetical manner, he finds
her whom he has so long seen in his visions
Returning to his kingdom, he finds himself
forgotten and new king enthroned. Oil
yer desires him again to draw the sword
but Pharamond, having left all for love,
finds that "Love is Enough" for him, and
he resolves to make his future home in the
land where he had found his loved one
Such is the story, but there is much in the
volume which we have not touched upon.
We commend it to all lovers of poetry as
work of originality, beauty, and power.

70 FRIEND on HEARING OF HIS APPROACHING
MARRIAGE.
If only we strive to be pure and true,
To each Of us all there shall come an hour
When the tree of life shall burst into flower,
And rain at our feet the wonderful dover
OF something grander than ever we knew.
If only we strive to be pure and true,
The foam of the sea shall lower its crest,
And the weary waves that we used to breast
Shall sob, and turn, and drop slowly to rest,
With tender calm all over and through.
And hearts that are longing to be more true
Shall meet even now, in ages gone,
And dimness shall die, and the rose of dawn
On the far-of mountains, clearly drawn,
Shall tell the story that ever is new.
PHILoMATHEAN.

Some idea of the enormous profits made
on little things may be gained from the fact
that few weeks ago party of capitalists
offered to pay to the French Government
sixteen million francs per annum for mon
opoIy of the trade in matches. The offer
was accepted.

A malicious libel is going the rounds
that vegetation is so scarce at Cape Cod
that two mullen stalks and whortleber-
ry bush are called grove. The truth is
that unless there are three whortleberry
bushes they never think of saying grove

The Story of a Little Girl,

Children who have pleasant homes
and kind mothers to look after and
watch over them, would learn a lesson
could they visit the courts of some OF
our large cities once in while. In @
New York court recently, summons
was served on lady to bring before
the officer child thirteen years of age
claimed by it's mother. The lady came
into court accompanied by the child,
who is bright looking, intelligent girl,
with profusion of fair, curly hair. The
mother was most violent, and insisted
in loud voice, that her daughter should
be given up. But the little girl cried
piteously, and twining her arms round
the neck Of the lady, besought the
Judge to let her remain in the custody
of her kind benefactors. "Oh, Judge,
said the little one, cts dreadful
home; mother used to send me ou
along the docks, and whenI didn't bring
home money enough she used to icl
me. When this kind lady picked me
up on the docks I was as black as you
coat, Judge, and l had only few rags
on me. Pray don't let me go home
again, Judge; it's dreadful"
The lady, who is quiet, kind-look
ing woman, confirmed the child's state
mGnt as to her condition when she wa'
picked up on the docks. 1t was il
November last, and the lady took cart
to obtain the mothers consent before
taking the child to her home.
Justice Cox said he would not taxi
the responsibility of removing th'
child from her present custody, as i
was obvious from the conduct o
the mother and her language to he
daughter in court, it would be a mos
unwise proceeding. He instructed tn
lady to allow the mother to see tn
child, and told the child's mother tina
if she wished to press the matter sh
would have to take it before the Su
preme Court.

Depth Of the Ocean,

The ocean is not "bottomless deep"
except to the poets and to young ladies',
neither of whom are familiar with the
modern improvements in taking sound
ings. Not only have skillful seamen
known how to reach the bottom and
fetch parts of it up to the top from great
depths, but mathematicians have given
themselves the trouble to calculate
theoretically its average depth. Button
gave this at 240 fathoms, or l, ,440 feet
Lacaille gives from 164 to 273 faShoms
Laplace, enormously estimating the
mean elevation of the land at 8, $50 feet
three times the height now allowed
by physical geographers-thought the
waters of the sea must be of about
equal depth. Young assigned depth
of 2, 1876 fathoms to the Atlantic and
about 8, 800 fathoms to the great South
Sea. According to this estimate, other
mathematicians add, the Pacific must
be at its deepest point fifteen and half
miles in depth, which is scarcely prob
able. Their bottoms are of unequal
depth, and they contain mountains as
well as vast rolling plains.
If the waters of the Mediterranean
were suddenly lowered about ITO faith
oms, it would be divided into three dis
tinct sheets of water: Italy would be
ioined to Sicily, Sicily would be united
by an isthmus to Africa, the Dardan-
elles and the Bosphorus would be
closed, but the outleto Gibraltar would
remain in free communication with the
Atlantic Ocean. If the level were low
cred by about $50 fathoms, the Hgean,
the Euxine, and the Adriatic would
wholly disappear, or only leave in their
beds unimportant pools; the remainder
of the Mediterranean would be divided
into several seas like the Caspian, either
isolated, or communicating with each
other by narrow channels, and the ter
minal promontory of Europe would be
joined by the isthmus of Gibraltar to
the mountains of Africa. A depression
of about LOO fathoms would leave
nothing but three inland lakes to the
west, a triangular basin occupying the
centre of the depression tetween France
and Algeria ; in the middle, long cav
ity extending from Crete to Sicily and
eastward, a hollow lying in front of the
Egyptian coast. The greatest depth of
the Mediterranean, exceeding 2,200
fathoms, lies to the north of the Syrtes,
almost in the geometrical centre of the
basin.

Copying the Men.

On my way home Saturday afternoon,
writes a Brooklyn correspondent,
noticed large assemblage of boys un-
der horizontal bar in Hicks street.
Rather struck with such solemn as
sembly, stood opposite, determined
to watch their proceedings, to see the
end of what seemed to me to be so Curl
GUS a gathering. AS the crowd parted,
[ noticed one boy with his arms pinion-
ed and rope passed under them, which
was thrown over the bar, another boy,
representing clergyman; stood with q
piece of paper in his hands. The we'll
known hop of Sheriff Brennan was no.
ticed as he stepped up to the Rev. Doc
tor. All was quiet. The rag was
waived, and some four or five of the
larger boys caughthold of the rope, and
the convict was dragged up. A young M.
d. stepped up, felt the pulse of the sus.
pended boy, and pronounced him dead.
He was lowered and his body given to
his friends, who said that the funeral
would take place Immediately. The
crowd adjourned to the funeral, seeming
to be perfectly satisfied with the success
of the execution.
Your readers can draw their own con-
clusions from this little incident, adds
the correspondent, who also intimates
that the parents of those ten or twelve
year old boys had better pay them a
little attention in the way of birch rods.

The Spring Strikes.

A labor strike is said to be impend-
ing. The carpenters say that they
don't get enough to pay their board.
Shoemakers, that it takes their awl to
keep them at work, and their sole de-
pendence is often in their last job.
Painters complain that they have be-
come literally hue-ers of wood.
Upholsters complain that hangings
have gone out of fashion.
Boiler-makers aver that Congress has
kept the country in hot water to such q
degree that they have no chance.
Blacksmiths complain that all the
forging is done in Wall street, and
there is no chance.
Tailors say they mean to give their
customers fits.
The hatters have kept ahead.
The gas-itters will go in for light
work.
Printers say they are tired, and can t
"set up any longer-that's what's the
matter.
Bakers say they knead more, and
don't like to see SO many rich loafers.
Butchers complain of being COM
PEELED to work at killing prices.
Candle-makers urge that wicked
work ought to be well paid for.
Wheelwrights say that all spokes.
men in Congress voted more pay before
retiring, and they expect to do as well
as their felloes.
The paper-makers say their busi.
ness is such that it brings them to rags.
And, finally, the plumbers propose tc
have their customers do the work, and
charge double pay for experimenting
it themselves. Each superintendent
will have three tenders, one to fill his
pipe, another to hold his hat, and 0
third to act as substitute when he goes
out "to see man."

Curious Attemnted Suicide.

About the 1st of February last Julius
Ende and his wife Julia, both natives
of Germany, removed from the city of
New York to the village of Jamaica,
Long Island, and took up their abode
in small tenement in York street.
Ende succeeded in obtaining employ
ment in the Office of q German newspa-
per as a compositor. In this Office he
worked for four weeks, but was so i'll
treated by the other employees that he
finally was forced to leave it. This hap
pened about three weeks ago Since
that time he has had no employment
whatever, and for the greater portion Of
the intervening time his family have
been without fuel or food. Finding no
avenue of escape from his miserable
condition excepting through the poor
house, he and his wife, after celebrating
upon the matter, determined to commit
suicide rather than become a burden
upon the county, and thus end their
earthly troubles. Accordingly they
both carefully washed themselves, and
after putting on clean change of linen
and setting the house in order, they
proceeded with the utmost deliberation
to carry out their determination. Ende
took his razor, and, after sharpening it
upon hone until it cut hair, cut a
terrible cash in his left arm, severing
the main artery. He then cut a cash
in his left leg near the ankle, which
also severed an artery. He then, it ap-
pears, handed the razor to his wife, who
also gashed her arm, severing an artery,
and her left leg, near the ankle. Both
then got into bed, believing that they
would soon bleed to death. Fortunate
ly, one of the occupants of the house,
who knew of their needy circumstances,
at this opportune time happened to go
to their apartments with some food, and
was Mortified upon opening the door to
discover them lying in bed and the COW
ering saturated with blood. An alarm
was at once given, and in a few moments
physician was in attendance. and sue
ceeded in stopping the flow of blood
and sewing up the wounds, not, how
ever, until so much blood had been lost
as to leave their recovery o matter of
much doubt. With careful nursing and
watching they may possibly recover.
Ende is a man about forty-fve years of
age, of more than Average intelligence,
and has been in This country about
twenty-five years. At one time he own
ed and edited a paper in Washington,
and at one time was employed in the
Government printing office in that city.
At the breaking out of the war he en-
listed in the Twenty eighth New York
State Militia, and served the full time.
He afterwards obtained commission
as second lieutenant in the Fifty-eighth
New York Volunteers, with which regi-
ment he served until the close of the
war. The unfortunate couple have been
married fifteen years, and have followed
eight children to the grave.

Deceived by a FOrtune.Teller.

One of the funniest suits of the year
has just been decided in Indiana. A
physician sued en- bill for professional
services, and was met in court by a
counter claim, also for professional SER
vices. The Charlottesville Journal
gives the following interesting facts
elected on the trial. The defendant
claimed set-off against the doctors
bill, alleging that his wife had at vari-
Gus times told the fortunes of the several
members of the doctors family, and
that he had never been paid. The doc
tor did not deny the fortune-telling, but
claimed that he had been misled there
