The sun began to warmer grow,
The grass and leaves began to show
Their twintling green on hill and vale,
when sweet and pleasant Was the gale,
This queer old hen began to long
To Join once more the noisy throng
OF idle gossips-halfh score
That strutted by the old barn door.
10, dear! o, deArl here I am ted
A weary lot is NINE" abe sighed.
mo CLEAN Of pleasure do 1 catch;
Why don't these tiresome chickens hatch
It worries me in heart and legs
To cit so long upon these eggs;
I'm sick Of pining here at home;
o chicks, chicks, chicks, why don't you come
Your little houses, white and warm,
I've sheltered from the angry storm.
"Thers's Mother Dominique, next door,
Her darlings number twenty-four,
And they've been out week or more;
And now she wanders at her case,
As proud and happy as you please.
30 stir your pihky little pegs,
Ny yellow bills come out and walk,
or else Ill doubt my eggs are eggs,
And think they are ut.-lumps Of chalk"
Then something rash and sad befell
This old hen pecked each brittle shell,
And, not so wonderful to tell,
Her treatment, which was very ruds,
Killed en- the spot her tiny brood
And now, despised by fowls and men,
She lives q broken-hearted hen.
This is the moral Of my lay
To reap success in work or play,
Why spoil whatever you've begun
Through eagerness to have It doneY
Remember poor Dame Partlets fate!
Don't be impatient learn TO wait.

The illustrations Of The Aldne have won a world
wide reputation and in the art centres Of Europe
an admitted fact that its wood cuts examples Of the
highest art ever attained. The common prejudice in

Of tho most costly steel plate, while they afford better
rendering OF the artists original.
In addition To designs by the members Of the Nation

masters, selected with view to the highest artistic
success and greatest general interest.

signs appropriate to the season. our best artists

That sat on eggs exactly ten.
She made her nest with pride and care,
And weather foul or weather fair,
You always found her at her post,
For patience was her daily boas'.

wRev. j. D. OLMsTED. on Friday
evening delivered the second lecture of
the course instituted for this place
His subject, as heretofore announced,
was "The World as seen by JOHN, on
the lslaId of Patmos." Although the
topic was not in the ordinary sense a
popular one, good sized audience was
present. Mr.. OLMsrED's object was to
show that certain of the prophesies ap-
ply to our own country, and to a time
yet in the future. The nature of his
conclusion was not such as to admit
evidence of the demonstrative kind, but
if PoE's maxim be true, that "A per.
feet consistency can be nothing but an
absolute TRUTH" then Mr.. OLM sTED' S
theory is not without strong support.
The subject was treated in such q
spirited and vigorous manner as to Sc.
cure the closest attention Of the audi
ence from beginning to end.

EgT The report that GRANT would
soon make public statement declining
a third term, although apparently COM
ing from high authority, seems to have
been premature. A committee, with
Senator EDMUNDs at its head, interview
ed him the other day, but he declined tc
decline.
1t is now understood that if the coun.
try should need to be saved again
GRANT and his brothers-in-law are will
ing to save it; incidentally rakiug ir
that fifty thousand year while engaged
in its rescue.
