THE MARINERS WIFE.
ny NATHAN D. uRSKR.

She sits by the side Of her freless hearth.
And hears the drip. drip OF the caves.
While over the breast of the bleak bare earth
Its mantel the snow-storm weaves
She drOops her head, lays needle and thread
With spiritless hands aside
When low. faint wall from the scantdraped bed
Aroused her hfes dull tide.
With tender murmurs she seeks to soOthe
The pangs Of the ailing child
Though forced 20 her hungry heart is the truth.
As She hears Its srieving wild
That for bread alone Is its hollow moan
That Pierees her soul like a knife;
And she gruans: "Oh, me It is bitter and lone
To be a mariners wife
She lulls him again to his htful sleep.
Then again seeks the freless hearth,
With glance at the white drifts. heavy and deep,
That are spread ON the shivering earth.
She still hears that drip, drip, drip of the caves
And the clash Of the shore.
While the Petuiaut storm-vind frets and erieves
With besgar-whines from the door.
So at least, to tile hapless woman it seems.
And ghostly smiles on her lips
As she, too, dozes and wildly dreams
OF storms aud sinking ships.
She has not heard the cheer from without,
The heavy tread in the snow,
TIL the bolted door she had deemed stout
Is shivered in by blow.
She starts from her dream of horror and wreck
What more than vision Is thisi
What arms folded about her neck
From her lips who snatches the kiss
No, no; but to one can those eyes belong
So ioyously bent on her own
Those accents deep. like ocean song,
And those arms around her thrownl
What lass, do not weep God has granted my prayer
have come TO my wife and my boy"
NAY, let my tears fowi cannot quite bear
The stroke OF this terrible joy.
Take the child your arms What makes him so thin
All, Jack, 10 speak It I'm 10th
It is hunger, Jack-laek of bread it has been,
And cold and sorrow for both p
He dashes his sleeve over his clouding eyes
And then drops in a chair hike lead.
He strives to speak, but the sObs arise,
And choking, murmurs instead.
Bot heap of gold on the table CLEANS,
In his arms is the joy OF his life
No longer sad and bitter it seems
To be mariners wife

Kate took it, trying to look unembar-

Mr.. Grey excused himself soon after
and Kate perused her letter. 1t ran thus !:

And she answered:
IF you have learned TO spell Kate,
come and read Kate"
He came and found it decidedly
pleasant reading. and Kate did not find
it difficult to love the tall, dignifed
gentleman, who but for her might never
have known how to spell.
Martin said he "ollers spicioned there

and the neighbors said they knew, and
always said that James Henry Arnold

SONG OF THE FLIRT.

am a merry maid careless and free,
Flirting with each handsome fellow l see,
Laughing and dancing the hours away
Love Is so funny as long as You play
Firtings not hurting. as all viii agree;
But marriage-oh, dear lis too serious tor me
Too serious for me,
So just let me be-
This marriage is quite, quite too serious for me-
'Tis all very nice to have flowers and rings,
And hear about Love, and his darts and his wings;
But love after marriage, as every one knows,
Comes down from the to the prOsest Of prose
And talks Of the prices of sugar and tea.
No Marriage is quite, quite too prOsy for NE
Too prOsy for me,
You surely can see
That marriage is quite, quite too prOsy for me-
They tell me Pm heartless-perhaps it is true
They tell me I'll live all this fully TO rue;
They tell me Pm throwing my chances away,
Forgetting how brief are the blossoms of MAY,
Ha ha there are fish just as good in the sea
As any Pve caught; but catching for me
No catching for me,
I'm still fancy free
Let them look to their lines that come fishing for me
'Tis something TO be without trouble or care
Save choosing your bounets or matching your hair;
'Tis better TO be without sorrOw or woes
Save grief at the pimples that come on your nose;
'Tis better to be !, and not merely half "weH
no marriage Is quite. quite too risky for me
Too risky for me-
This turning to ''we"
Is quite, quite too risky business for me-
For better, for worse, YOU must surely allow.
Is rather n dangerous sort of a vow
rule my own actions and hold my own purse
Il might be done better, and NIGHT be done WORSE

o, pity ye mortals who can,
That woman has trials 80 great,
And be thankful and happy, man,
That your locks are shorn ard straight.
Now the warm summer weather has come,
And your hair feels hot to your head,
To the BARRIERS you go and return,
Your scalp feeling cool, closely shaved.
But poor woman must groan and endure,
And to fashion be still slave;
She is never one moment secure
In her "crimps" Ur her ocean wave
Ifhcr hair he not glossy and long,
And heavy to twist to her will,
Judge her not to be foolish, or wrong,
When falsely she tries to look well.
If bv nature abundantly blcst
With wealth Of soft, silken hair,
Its a trouble how it must be drcst,
TO the most advantage appear.

Changed in week to "chignon,'
At the side hangs large bunchy curl;
First dumpty then two feet long.
Then the hair must he high on the head,

And unhandy for bonncts, It's said
