sweetness, she loved me with unutterable
fondness; and never have l doubted-my
trust in her has ever been steadfast and
fealless-never has her eye looked coldly
upon me, and never will it till the death
angel shall dim them for the long sleep.
Oft in the still hours Of night have | been
awakened, as ifby the sweep of Gods wing,
and beheld that face, those eyes gazing
upon me with beatific tenderness of guar
dian angel over repentant prodigal; and
kiss would fall upon my brow more sooth-
ing than the dews of heaven. The same
gentle hand has led me along life's tlowery
way, and beside its unrutfled waters; and
if ever my heart steeled to conceive 1t,
and my feet inclined to wander, that
gentle ministory voice came whispering IN
my ear and stayed the one midway, and
drew the iron from the other. And | do
remember, in my manhood's ripper years,
when deep sorrow fell upon my soul, and l
would fain have drunk oblivion from the
wine cups fiery brim, that same dark-eyed
God, to shun the fatal snare; and twining
her arms around my neck, while her eyes
beamed with loves deep inspiration, she
poured oil upon the troubled waters; told
me Of purer hopes and higher aims, and in
my ear whispered golden word that has
outlived all sorrow.
Leila, would you know the name of my
first love- IT'S my MoTHER"'
"Oh, Paul, III forgive you, and will
share your love; indeed | will

is as dear as the first

CUTTING A DIDo.-Some eight hun
dred and seventy years before the year /,
as We count, Queen Dido fled from Tyre,
after the murder of her husband, and
with few friends and followers, began
a settlement on the northern coast of Africa,
to which she gave the name of Carthage.
When she decided upon the location of the
future city, she made bargain with the
nations for the purchase of as much land
as she could put bulls hide around. You
may be sure that they readily gave her
permission to measure, at very small cost
but imagine the surprise of those simple
natives when the Queen took a large bulls
hide, and cutting it into strips so thin as to
be like ordinary kite string, tied the strips
together and with their united length mea-
sured around space which was the entire
site of the future city.
\ pretty sharp trick, wasn't it? The
natives stuck to their part of the bargain,
and gave her the land, but politely declined
to do any more land measuring with bull
hides. After the colony grew little, the
Bueen did not care to buy any more land
She did Just as we used to do and still do
sometimes, with the red man-she took it.
But long after Queen Dido's death, any
piece of knavery was called "cutting a
Dido" and it has only been within the
last few years that the term has fallen into
dsuse, from being applied in jest to more
harmless transactions.

CUTTING A DASH IN THE COUNTRY.-
A Washington girl paid visit short time
since to a friend on the Eastern Shore of
Mary land, and among her outfit for the
occasion had one of those variegated suits
now so fashionable. Upon her first visit
to the rural church she wore it, and was
the observed of all observers. She was
highly gratified with her impression until
she happened to hear two rustics whisper
ing in the seat behind her.
"Why les look at her. Sal - said one
to the other; "she's putten' on more airs
than if she had on half dozen dresses all
outen the same piece"
Yes, indeed - replied Sal. "GueSs
she thinks she's some, with that ar bed
quilt strung around her. Reckon there $
a piece of her mothers, her gran mothers,
and her great gran mothers old silk we'd
din dresses in that" Look at the gin
ger bread fixius she's got all round her,
too. = remarked the other. tell You what,
maybe shes some poor. crazy critter, ont
of her mind am they pampers her 10y tixin'
her up that way" Wonder il them yer
rings an things amt the kind what Jim
was tellin' us you could get whole bushel
Of 'em fer a half 4 dollar"
The Washington girl could stand it no
longer. She plead sudden sickness left
the church, aud took the early train home
next morning. Now she says sarcasti.
cally, " she always thought Maryland was
civilized"

FIRST LOVE.

cam your only aud first love - asked
a bright-eyed girl, as she reclined her class
ically moulded brow upon the shoulder of
her lover.
Ono, Leila, you are not my only, not my
first; have loved another. Long years
before saw you l loved another, and l
love that other still"
"Love that other still, and better than
me? Paul, why do you tell me that -
asked she, raising her dark blue eyes, and
gazing steadfastly into those of her lover,
half in establishment, half in sorrow, while
her ieweed fingers frightened convulsively
upon his arm.
"You asked me, Leila, and l answered
with truth and sincerity; you would not
have me deceive you, would you -
You love her still, then9'
81 love her STILL
"And better than you do me"'
''Not better, but as WELL"
"And will love her still?'
"Until death, and even beyond death :;
over her last resting place will l strew
Springs earliest flowers, and bedew the
sacred spot with the purest tears love ever
shed.'
"Handsomer than |, is she not o.
Her eyes are as black as night and her
hair in glossy blackness outvies the wing
of the raven. She hasn't your sweet blue
eyes, nor your soft, brown hair; yet, oh.
r I,, no to O
that ever looked the look of eternal love"
Paul, why do you wish to break my
heart? Why Rave you taught me to love
you so wildly and blindly, and then in the
midst of my happiness tell me that there is
