A May-FlOwer.
BY MRS. NJ. A. HOARD.

O happy earth! Bright May on tiptoe steals
To lay her fower-crowned head upon thy
breast;
Her soft embrace thy frozen bosom feels
And her shy kisses break thy wintry rest.
The woods anew with merry voices ring,
While eager hands thrust mold and leaves
away,
And from the friendly shade triumphant bring
The trailing pink-white harbingers of Nav.
No need have dead leaves on thy cold breast
To part and seek arbutus blossom small,
For on my own there lies g daintier guest
The very sweetest May-fower of them all.
Yet my foreboding heart the gift receives
With trembling joy that touches close on
pain,
Lest the celestial beauty of it's leaves
Tempt heaven to call the blossoms HON g
again.
All spring-time these happy arms enfold,
Eyes that the volets have taught their blue
Bright hair where crocus dropped it's shining
gold,
And cheeks that caught the apple blossoms
hue.
Sure never dawned May-day so divine!
Never did nature with such gladness ring!
Dear mother earth, my thankful heart, like
thine,
Forgets its winter in the joy of spring,
-l1adependent.

ice boats, and jolly boat. The whal-
ers, yawls and cutters are built of one
diagonal thickness of mahogany plank
ing, which, after being secured to the
framing with extra care and strength, is
paved over with a marvelously tenacious
compound known as marine glue. Over
his again is placed an envelope of stout
unbleached linen, which is coaxed into
position and deprived of every wrinkle
that would initiate against perfect fit,
by being pressed with hot iron. This
operation causes the yet moist glue to
permeate the fibres of the cloth, which
then becomes immovably fixed to the
planking, and is perfectly impervious
to water, even if the. plank
ing became splintered in a way
that would make an ordinary
boat as leaky as wicker basket. Then
comes longitudinal plank of the best
witch elm and Christiana pine, and I'M
der the waist strake a hemispherical
belt of cork covered with stout canvas,
forming a permanent and efficient fen
der. The whalers have this cork fen
der replaced by rails with hand holes all
around. To fit them for the rough
usage to which they will be speedily
subject, the ice boats have sheathing
of cork over the diagonal planking and
canvas coat, before being covered with
the external planking of pine and elm,
and they are built on what it technically
known as "dead wood" having the
keelson or backbone of the boat inside,
so that the external stems, sternposts
and keels might be ground away by
friction against the ice without struc-
tural injury and with no i'll effect on
their buoyancy.

The Arctic Exploration Vessels.

A correspondent of the New York
World, in describing the Alert and Dis
covery, the two vessels to be used in
the English Polar expedition, says
I" The insides of both vessels have been
completely lined with layer of thick
felt, over which is sheathing of plank.
The masts, yards, spars, sails. and rig
ing of each ship are identical. so as
to be interchangeable, if necessary.
and all the ironwork is covered with
leather. The screws, which are
of the best metal, are arranged so as to
be detached and hoisted up, while the
screw shafts can be drawn in. Zach
ship is divided by five water-tight bull
heads, with pumps III each worked by
engines. Felt, thick wooden cloth and
leather have been used to convert the
cabins and forecastle into extremely
warm and comfortable nests. On deck
each hatchway is surmounted by a
hood raised above the level of the comb.

Church and State in Belgium.

There was stormy scene in the Bel.
gian Chamber of Representatives on
April Goth, with regard to the military
honors about to be paid to the new Car
dinal, the Archbishop of tMechlin. 1t
was contended by the government that
these honors were prescribed by de-
cree dating from the time Of the French
Revolution, but the opposition insisted
that other provisions of the decree
were treated as obsolete, that the rela-
tions of the Episcopate to the state had
materially altered, and such homage
should not be paid to the chief of class
which endangered the relations of Bel
GUM with a neighboring power, and
had no regard for patriotism. The
scene in the Chamber is not the only
instance of the violence of party spirit
IN Belgium. A Jubilee procession at
Liege gave rise to disturbance. On
issuing from st. Johns Church the pil-
grims were received with Kisses and
hooting by mob estimated at 10000
persons, and all along their route to the
Cathedral there were cries of "a bas le
Syllabus % &C ViUe Ie Roi 20 +" V5Ue
la Belgiqate 20 sc Vive la Constita-
ton % The procession was three or
four times broken up, and some of the
pilgrims were violently hustled. The
police were unable to maintain order.

Boating at Harvard.

Boating WAS never in such favor at
Harvard as now, thanks to the new club
boating system, and the river is covered
with boats every evening, filed with

settled. At present the men are rowing
as follows: W. O. Otis, Scientific

Come, AND LET Us REASON TOGETHER.

Come, AND LET Us REASON TOGETHER
To the afflicted in body, we offer a
few words of plain, practical reasoning.
No matter under what form of sickness
you labor there is one great truth you
should ever keep in mind, viz: All dis
ease originates in an impure condition
of the blood. Purify that, and the dis
ease must depart, for it has nothing to
feed on; but you cannot purify the
blood by the use of poisonous drugs,
and exhaustive stimulants; the relief
which these afford is temporary and de-
ceptive, leaving you worse off at every
interval. The best Blood Purifier ever
discovered is DR.. WALKERS FAMOUS
VINEGAR BTrrERs, compounded of sim
pie herbs. No matter how hopeless
your case may seem, try the VINEGAR
BITTERs, and few draughts will con-
vince you of their virtue. DR.. Walker,
the discoverer of this priceless remedy,
had been given up to die by the physi-
clans, and is now sound and healthy
man from their use.-Com.

A large gathering of residents of
Palatka, Fla, occurred a few days ago,
to witness a snake fight which had been
advertised. A large rattlesnake and an
adder were put into the arena together,
but neither would attack the other.
Then young alligator and the rattle
snake were tried, and an encounter i'm
mediately began. The alligator was
bitten tour times, but he finally crushed
the snake between his jaws, and subse-
quently died himself of the reptile

Volcanic EruptiOns in Iceland.

from the LONDON Times, Apfu II.
kilograms from Shetland state that
the Danish mail steamer Dina arrived
at Lerwick last Thursday from Beyki-
avik, being her first trip for the season.
She brings particulars of the grand
eruption of the mountain called Trolla-
dynjav, in the north of Iceland. The
eruption occurred in December last, and
was preceded by earthquakes. The
weather during the month WAS very
foggy, and the flames from the burning
mountain could not be seen to advan-
tage until the end of January, when the
sight presented was magnificent. Col
unns of fire and stones were shot
straight up into the air to a great
height. and fell back into the crater in
SO narrow a circumference that the
formation of new lava only extended
II miles from the northwest to the
southeast. An exploring party state
that from the side Of the ravine, at a
point as near as they can get for the
burning lava, they could see down
through the volcanic assures lurid
flames like vast reeking rivers of fire
playing In wild confusion among "the
wreck of matter" Fortunately, no
damage was done either by the earth
Quake or the erJlption.

Religious Persecution i'm Spain,

During the three centuries elapsing
between 1881 and 1871, Spain annually
executed or imprisoned 1000 OF her in
habitants on account Of their religious
opinions. On an average, 100 persons
endured martyrdom and 900 persons
suffered imprisonment each year of all
this long period. According to trust
worthy statistics in hese30O years, 291,-
900 persons were condemned to various
terms of Imprisonment and to other
penalties, $4,000 persons died at the
stake, and $4,000 persons were burnt in
efigy. Of these last the most part,
probably, died in prison OF fed to other
lands. A policy like this must end III
the deterioration of a people. By per-
sistently destroying and banishing its
boldest and most vigorous thinkers, it's
most resolute and courageous men,
Spain was drained of it's best and purest
blood, and the result is seen to the pre-
sent day in the dwarfed physical and
mental stature Of the Spanish race.
