HEARTSEASE.

Of all the bonny buds that blow.
In bright or cloudy weather,
OF alfthe flowers that come and 90
The whole twelve moons together,
This little purple pansy brings
Thoughts Of the sweetest, saddles
@.things. ..
I had a little lover once,
Who used to give me posies;
His eyes were blue as hyacinths,
His lips were red as roses,
And every body loved to- praise
His pretty looks and winsomc ways.
The girls that went to school with M
Made little jealous speeches, ..'
Because he brought me royalty
His biggest plums and peaches,
And always at the door would wait
TO carry home my book and slate.
"They couldn't see''-with pout ant
"The mighty destinations
About that little snub-nosed thing
10 win such admiration;
AS if there weren't dozen girls
With nicer eyes and longer curls!
And this knew as we'll as they,
And never could see clearly
Why more than Marion or May
I should be loved SO dearly.
So once I asked him, why was this?
He only answered with kiss.
Until teased him-"Tell me why
| want to know the reason !"
When from the garden-bed close by
CThe pansies were in season.
He plucked and gave a flower to me,
With sweet and simple gravity.
"The garden is in bloom," he said,
"With lilies pale AND slender,
With roses and verbenas red,
And fuchsias' purple splendor,
But over and above the rest,
This little hcartscase suits me best"
"Am your little heartsease, then" "'
asked with blushing pleasure:
He answered yes! and yes again
Heartsease, and dearest treasure;
That the round world and all the sea
Held nothing half SO sweet as me!
I listened with q proud delight
Too rare for words to capture,
Nor ever dreamed what sudden blight
Would come to chill my rapture.
Could 1 fOresce the tender bloom
OF pansies round little tomb?
Life holds some stern experience,
AS most of us discover,
And I've had other losses since
1 lost my little lover;
But still this purple pansy brings
Thoughts of the saddcst, sweetest
things.

THE PEACH CROP IN DANGER.


NEW YORK, May 2O.-A Times
special from Wilmington, Del. says
in the last two weeks species of the
black bug has appeared near Den
ton, Caroline county, Nd, and
done serious damage in that local
ity. In one nursery the grated
stock of $4,000 trees were entirely
killed. The insects are even capa-
bic of destroying large trees thick
ly covered with leaves, and pre-
vents vegetation. Thus far, no
damage has been done to the fruit
growing orchards, though the
presence of the bug is reported in
the peach districts about Middle
town. The bug will be sent
to the department of agriculture
