Il Path through the Corn.

Wavy and bright In the summer air
ike quiet sea when the wind blows fair,
Aud its toughest breath has scarcely curled
The green highway to an unknown world
Soft whispers passing from shore to shore.
Like II heart content yet desiring more /;
Who feels forlorn,
Wan dering thus on u path through the corn
A short space since and the dead leaves lay
Corrupting under the hedgerow grey l. o.
No hum of insect OF voice Of bird fWf
Der the desolate field was ever hsard
Only At eve. the pallid snow
Blushed rose red In the red sun glow;
Till, one blest morn,
Shot up into life the young green coru.
Small and feeble, slender and pale,
II bent its heaa tn the winter gale.
Hearkened the wrcn's soft note Of cheer,
Scarcely believing spring was near;
Saw the chestnuts bud out ana campions blow
And dasics mimic the vanished snow,
Where II was born,
On either side of a path through the corn.
The corn-the corn-thc beautiful corn,
Rising wonderfully, morn by morn,
First scarce as high as fairy's wand,
Then, just in reach Of chld's wee hand.
Then growing. g.growing-tall,g green and strong
With the voice Of the harvest In its song,
While in fond scorn
The lark out-carols the murmuring corn.

llow,whe and wherefore-tongue cannot say,
No more than of life's strange paths we know
Whittier they lead us, or why we go;
Or whether our eyes shall even see
The wheat in the ear, or the frait on the tree.

Heaven that watered the burrows will ripen

her with that uneartlly look upon
her face, he put himself in the path
just where she must pass, and drew
his arm gently around her waist.
Rachel trembled to tiud her motion
arrested, then gave q long sigh,
with the light of ofconsciousness com.
ing into her lifeless eyes.
'Oh, where am l 7" she moaned.
"You are here with me, my dar.
ling, safe and well, thank God !"
and in the ecstasy of his joy and
gratitude he pressed kisses on her
lips and cheeks, and Unidentified
himself for all he had longed for
and missed.
Rachel drew herself away, blush.

"What has happened 7" she asked
in distressed voice. "Why am I
alone Out-ofdoors here in the nigh t
with you?"
"It was by Gods good providence
l found you," said Edwin, much
moved. "YOu have been walking
in your sleep, Rachel, and night Of.
ter night have come over that fear
full bridge. l cannot help turning
sick with horror when I think of
the risk you ran. You came here
to bury your clothes in the gravel
pit" I'D "
ooh, I know it all now ~ cried
Rachel, clasping her head in her
hands. "It was the dream. You
know 1 told you of my dear little
brother who died. 1 thought was
doomed to carry his dead body un.
til l found a burial-place; that l
must not mind difficulties or dan.
gers, but go on and on q weary way,
all through the world if need be-"
"And there are your graves down
in the pit; and there, my darling,
you shall bury every sorrow. Oh,
Rachel, tell me that you love me;
promise that you will be my wife"
Rachel averted her face for a
moment, and then, with quick
child-like gesture of infinite grace
and tenerness, put her arms about
his neck and gave him her mute
reply. .......

ONE of the best ways to test q
spiders ability to get out of a scrape
is to take an ordinary wash-bowl
filled with water and take stick
and place it it the centre OF the
bowl, and reaching some little dis
tance above the water, and then put
the spider on top of the stick. We
will wager almost anything that the
insect gets himself away from his
isolated quarters in less then ten
minutes, and he won't wet his feet
in his transit. Try and see how he
does it.

II ACH H e l..

The Huntly farmhouse was redo
lent with pleasant odors of break
fast. The perfume ofbubbling coffe,
and browning corn cake was watt
ed through blossomy lilacs and frui
trees almost as far as the mill, wher'
Edwin, the only son of the house Of
Huntly, was laying off his dusty
coat preparatory to the matutinal
meal.
"There comes Mrs. Camp, the old
cat! 1 wish she'd stay away
thought Edwin as a dingy black dress
passed through the front gate, and
brushed the dew from the grass and
dandelions. ! The young man had a
natural aversion to Mrs. Camp, part.
ly because she had known him from
to his youth up, and felt called upon
talk to him about his soul, and part
ly because she always waited abroad
a strong odor of camphor, as if her
virtues were securely wrapped up
in that useful drug. fM
Edwin knew he must put up with
Mrs. Camp. She was his mothers
adviser and friend, and a necessary
evil. He whistled as he wiped his
hands on the mill towel and glanced
over at Rachels window. The
whistle suddenly died down.
"Confound it'll" he thought. ~
wish I could clear up this miserable
mystery. If Mrs. Camp gets hold
of it-and mother will be sure to
let it leak out she'll 60 cackling all
over the village"
A thicket of trees between the
mill and the house was studded
with young leaves glistening in the
sun, but Edwin could see through
their thin branches, and his heart
gave a new and curious thump as
Rachel came to the window. She
put out her head, ripping with pale
golden locks, drawn behind the ears
and tied simply in the neck with
brown ribbon.
Edwin had browsed among the
poets, if he was nothing but q tall
young miller.
''Shine out, little head, running over with
curls,
To the flowers, and be their sum-"
thought he, and then the young
man longed irrationally to take the
pale wistful face between his two
hands and kiss it. He had never
kissed Rachel. The very idea of
such thing gave him an all-overish
feeling that ran through his six feet
Of stature like the vibration through
a harp string.
Huldah had tangled the bell three
times from the doorway before Ed
win put in an appearance.
"Late, as usual" said she, with a
tartness sisters sometimes indulge
themselves in toward refractory
brothers.
"Oh, he thinks it's manly to keep
rs waiting" put in Janet, with the
Dertness of fourteen.
"But we haven't waited" said
Mrs. Huntly from behind the tray,
where incense was rising from her
excellent coffee. "Edwin Rufus.
lon't you see Sister Campi"
If there was any thing Edwin de.
it was being called Edwin
Rufus. He took Mrs. Camps hand

A BIT OF WISDOM. "Let me tell
you," said Izaak Walton to his
scholar, 81 have a rich neighbor that
is always so busy that he has no
leisure to laugh the whole bust
ness of his life is to get money, and
more money, that he may still get
more and more money. He is still
drudging on, and says that Solomon
says, the diligent hand maketh
rich : and it is true indeed, but he
considers not that it is not in the
power Of riches to make a man hap.
py. 1t was wisely said by a man of
great observation, 'that there be as
many miseries beyond riches as on
this side of them : and yet God de-
liver us from pinching poverty, and
grant that, having a competency,
we may be content and thankful.
Let us not repine, or so much as
think the gifts Of God unequally
dealt, if we see another abound with
riches, when, as God knows, the
cares that are the keys that keep
those riches, hang often so heavily
at the rich mans girdle, that they
clog him with weary days and rest
less nights when others sleep quiet
ly. Let us, therefore, be thankful
for health and competence, and
above all, for quiet conscience"

TEE CITY GoyERKMRHT-THE APPROACH
rxa ETpTTTnN

The time of the annual election Of city officers
is 30 near that public attention il already being
directed 20 it, There will be chosen, this rear,
twelve members Of the Council, only nine mem
bers, including the President Of the body, hold
ing over, and upon the character Of these twelve
men the interests Of the city and its tai
payers are in great measure dependent. The
action of the City Council, during the next
twelve months, will b matter Of great conse-
quencs, since there VIII be expended. on sc-
count OF the new reservoir, . larger sum Of
money than has ever been paid out By the city
for any one work OF public improvement Two
hundred thousand dolIArs' worth Of bonds are
already Authorized to be sold for this object,
and eTen that amount viii probably prove insult
fent With such sums the next Council viii
have TO deal, and according to the character Of
its members we may expect the business han
died.
1t is not to be denied that there IL a growing
desire in the minds Of many Of our people Of all
cAsses-tor all are taxed, in proportion 70 their
mesns-shst in the organization Of the municipal
government, the question Of party should not
enter. 1t Is argued that this is purel! bust
ness matter that there is nothing Of political
principle in the pumping Of water or the light
ing of lamps. 1t ia insisted that whatever &C
ton voters choose to take in their relation TO
the State or the Nation, they are at perfect lib
erty to consider the organization Of their local
corporation with regard only to securing tie
best and most economical results.
This feeling grows and no wonder. The rap
id increase Of the public burdens, at a time Of
serious industrial and financial depression, is il
self enough to cause concern. The funded debt
which We are pilng up bears interest, and must
itself be paid, dollar for dollar. The bonds We
cell must be redeemed. The two hundred
thousand dollars which We now borrow mus
be paid back, and the money for the purpose
must come out Of the peoples pockets. Con-
sdenng this alone, the taxpayers are not onl!
justified in turning their attention to the sub
jet, but they would Re fools indeed TO d. other
wise, and il they decide that party questions Ane
party ties nave nothing 70 do with this any NOR
than With other OF their private business, it VI
be dfscnls 70 End q reasonable BAy Of blaming
them.
