DEFINITION of watering-place that
will be appreciated by many summer
Ioungers "It is as dull as a cemetery
and pretty lively with mosquitoes"
HEAVEN
There no moro at eve declining,
Suns without cloud are shining
Ger land of life and love;
Heavens own harvests WOO the reaper
Heavens own dreams entrance the sleeper;
Not tear is left the weeper
To profane the flower above;
There no sigh of memory sweleth,
There no tear of misery dweleth,
Hearts will bleed or break no more;
Past is all the cold worlds 5corning,
Gone the night and broke the morning,
With seraphic day adjoining
Life's glad waves and golden shore.
SOMEBODY took out patent in Wash
ington the other day for improvement

fashionable.
The Alaska Herald's enthusiastic as
sertion, that, in two hundred and fifty
years from this, Sitka will be one of the

generation Of Sitkans.
IHE YEAR OF THE Rose
The year of the rose is brief;
From the first blade blown to the sheaf,
From the thin green leaf to the gold,
1t has time to be sweet and grow old,
To triumph and leave not a leaf
For witness in winters sight
How lovers once in the light
Would mix their breath with its breath,
And its spirit was quenched not of night,
AS love is subdued not of death.
In the red-rose land not smile
OF the meadows from stile to stile,
OF The valleys from stream to stream,
But the air was q long, sweet dream
And the earth was a sweet wide Bmile
Red-mouthed of a goddess, returned
From the sea which had borne her and
burned,
That with one swift smile Of her mouth
Looked full on the north as it yearned;
And the north was more than the SOUTH
S1oiRburRe.
Few of the fair sex, who, in obedience
to the DEGREES of fashion, have loaded

Venice, who, prior to the revival OF
trade for jet trimmings, were IN state
of great distress.

A DECIDED NEGATIVE
As a schooiboyI was ever partial to Brown.
we divided our COuee ana shared IN our toys
To this moment Ono schoolboy's tradition
comes DOWN
We arc quoted as friendly and brotherl
boys.
But, supposing that Brown was to ask me to
day
For share Of my heart or share of m,
purse;
would sink the old friendship and quietly say

reverse"
have known what it is to be head over heel
In a passion that knows neither limit no
span;
have known what a loving young gentleman
When he feels all a loving young gentlema
can.
But if Laura Matilda should come to me now
And recall what promised when lovesick o
worse,
Do you think I should ever remember m

Not at all; on the contrary quite the reverse
TEMPLE BAR, the venerable pile tina
has spanned Cheaspide, London, TO
centuries, having been loosened by ex
cavations made near its foundations
now threatens to tumble on the head
of passers-by. Although doubtless ont
of the most interesting historical relic
of London, it has become a nuisance il
the most crowded thoroughfare of tn
city. Numerous petitions have beer
made for it's removal, yet the authori
ties have steady refused, on account o
It's associations. The structure has beer
propped mp temporarily, but vii
doubtless soon be swept away, an,
probably never be rebuilt.
