And spiritual prophecies and things do
no good, do theyf Fayette Gridley, of
Auburn died last Sunday. "a year ago"
says the Syracuse Journal, "Mr. Gridley
was told in New York by one of those
imposters that he would surely die in the
month of August, 1875. The statement
impressed him so strongly that he at once
increased the amount OF his life insurance
from sl2, 900 to $4,000, ard at various
times said that all was dark to him after
the 3lst OF August III could not tell by
what agency he was to die, yet he was
convinced that the prophecy would prove
true. Last Sunday morning he lnistook
bottle of liquid used for plating oliver
for one containing m -dicine, and taking a
swallow OF its contents his death soon fOl<
lowed" We are not acquainted with Mr..
Gridleys character, but doubtless the ir>
surance companies will make some ms
quiry regarding it presently. However,
looking at the affair from business pointi

HEART FLOWERS.
BIT MADELEINE.


There are flowers, bright flowers in this heart
' Of mine,
Famed BY the bree1es Of love divine,
Living for aye in their exquisite bloom,
TArevtns around me their sweet perfume,
Sparkling with drops that begem the flowers
amaranth beauty, in heavens own bowers,
And cherished with care by the hearts warn
tear;
Would ye ask, would ye ask "ho~ came they
there ?"
Friends by the vsylas they gently smiled,
Have bresthed loves words to earth's weary
child: r
Frsaght with hope was each tone that fell,
And the angels gathered its meaning well,
Each word that fell, with a magic power,
The angels have changed to a fadeless flower,
Psnciled its hues from the rainbow's wing,
Amidst gfveth the soul an eternal spring.
Net think ye they bloom for themselves alone ?
l. their fragrant breath to the world unknown
They haliOw at eve each fersent prayer.
Will ys ask, will ye ask why they're blooming
theref ...-.
Why riseth the day star in splepdor 90 bright
From his mountain home, bathing in light.
The sleeping earth and the foam pillows crest,
Mirroring his form on tbs, oceans brssstf
Ask ye the birds, when they sweetfy chime
Their matin songs In the summer time,
And sPortively hurry frcv spray to spray,
Ifthey MARBLE alone for themselves all day
Ard soft as a lutte would tAeir eumhers Gov
eve are singing to gladden. vale of wOe."
Ask ye the moon when her siivery sheen,
Who're the suns warm light hath played, is
seen, q. --rH.
Or the radiant stars as they ride on high,
And spangle with silver the azure sky.
From each rolling sphere will the answer be:
"Mortal we shine for thy God and thee. !"
From the flowers that adorn the soul arise
Sweet odors, like songs to the upper skies
PiOsting afar through those arches broad,
They're shedding their sweets at the feet Of God
Nay the cheering light Of eternal day
IIlunine the path Of each ..'friend by the way :
From the depth of each spirit spring fragran
flowers ...
Like those that regale my lonely hours.

CHAPTER XVI.
MASTER AND PUPrL.

The worthy master Gryphus, as the
reader may have seen, was far from shar-
ing the kindly feeling Of his daughter for
the eodson Of Cornelius De-Witte.
There being only i've prisoners at Le-
western, the post Of turnkey was not a
very onerous one. but rather q sort OF
sinecure, given after long period Of SER
vice.
But the worthy jsiler. in his zeal, had
msgnifed with all the power Of his inn
aginstion, the importance Of his Office.
To him Cornelius had sweiled to the
gigantic proportions OF a criminal of the
first order. He looked upon him, there
fore, as the most dangerous of all his
prisoners. He watched all his steps, and
always spoke to him with an angry coun-
tenance; punished him for what he called
his dreadful rebellion against such a
clement prince as the Stakeholder.
Three times a day he entered Van
Bserle'scel expecting 10 find him tres
passing; but Cornelius had ceased TO cor
respond, since his correspondent was at
hand. 1t is even probable that if Corne-
lius had obtained his full liberty, with
permission to 90 wherever he liked, the
prison, tcih Rosa and his bulbs, would
have appeared to him preferable to any
other habitation in the world without
Rosa and his bulbs.
Rosa. in fact, had promised TO com'
and see him every evening, aud from tn,
first evening she had kept her word.
On the following evening she went ~
as before, with the same mysteriousnes
and the same precaution. Only she haC
this time resolved within herself not Il
approach too near the grating. In order
however. to engage Van Baerle in a con
versation from thevery frse which woul'
seriously occupy his attention, she ten
dered to him through the grating thu
three bulbs, which were still wrapped u
in the same paper.
But to the great astonishment OF Rosa
Van Baerle pushed back her white han
Nth the tips of his fingers.
The young man had been eonsiderin
about the matter,
