LoNGfEL SLOWS LATEST PORN.
No sound Of wheels or h0Of-osat breaks
The silence OF she summer dav.

lwhile the idle hours away.
p1ee ;he ieaiy colonnade,
Where level branches Of the plane
Above me weave a roof OF shade,
imperYlous 10 the sun aud rain.
At times a sudden rush OF air
fiailers the lazy leaves o'erhead,
And CLEANS OF sunshine toss aud fare
Ike Torches down the path ] tread.
By SomRriya's garden gate
I make the marble stairs my seat,
And hear the water as ] walk
Tapping the steps beneath my feet.
The nnduiation sinks and sweils
Along the stony parapet.
And iar away the floating bells
Tiogle upon the fishers nets,
Silent and slow BY tower and town,
The freighted barges come and 90,
Their pendan shadows gliding down
by town and tower submerged below.
The hills sweep upward from the shore,
with villas scattered, one by one,
Upon their wooded spurs, and lower
Bellaggio blazing IN the sun.
And, dimly seen, a tangled mass
OF walls and wood, OF light and shade,
Stands reckoning up the Stelvio pas
Narenna with It's white cascade.
! ask myself, is this dreame
VIII IL all vanish into aire
Is there land OF such supreme
And perfect beauty anywhere
Sweet vision do not fade away;
Linger until my heart shall take
Into itself the summer day,
And ali the beauty Of the lake.
Linger until upon my brain
is stamped an image Of the scene;
Then fade into the ar again,
And be as il thou hadst not been.

KING LEAD.
BY c. HENRY ST. Jobs.

They may tell about silver and gold, if they
please,
Whose lustre so long has been shed
On the face Of mankind; but where can you
ind
A metal so mighty as lead?
Not alone on the field OF red slaughter you see,
BY the ranks of the slumb'riug dead,
That steel is in vain, in the terrible ram
The awful tornado OF lead
Not there is its glory and majesty shown,
Whale 'er may be chanted or said,-
It is not in the strife, but IN everyday LIE,
We behold the dominion Of lead.
Not in death-dealing balls is the metal SUI
preme,
Not in blood should its record be read:
But all over the world is lis banner unfuried-
'TiSType makes a monarch Of Lead!
The kings Of sill nations bow down at his
throne,
And acknowledge him ruler and head;
High and low, great and small, rich ana poor,
one and all,
Are the subjects OF TYPICAL LEAD!

In these days the contributions to
medical resources are constant; now it
is pill, an awful pill, and now it is
pensive power. The latest additions TO
the DOCTORS store are bones and banjo.
A young Philadelphia girl who had,
since childhood, been prevented from
walking by a nervous spine, suddenly
manifested, two years ago, frantic lik-
ing for negro minstrel entertainments.
Physicians long had been in vain, and
the wretehed maiden in despair turned to
the weird and mOurnful beauty of these
performances for distraction. Every
evening for these two years she listened
to the bounding freshness of the jokes,
the soft pathos OF the bones, and as time
wore on, grew stronger and stronger.
She is now perfectly well, and her
friends attribute this pleasant change
altogether to the minstrelsy.

The Paris correspondent of the Ion
don Daily Telegraph writes: ga strange
incident is reported from Lyons, Of
which first heard some days ago, with
out credlting it. On the sixth OF OetO-
Der two young people were married in
that town. Within q few hours of the
ceremony they became insensible, and
have remained so ever since. The
Lyons doctors have exhausted their
science in this case, and the luckless
pair, though alive yet, are evidently
sinking from mere starvation. There
can be no question but that some mar
cOtic, of the most violent class, has been
given them, probably as joke. To-day
we are told thst a young man, appren-
tieed to chemist, has been arrested on
