By the Dead.

She lay in her chamberp peaceful and still,
And silent as all of us some day will,
Her hands held fast on her marble breast
A lotus lilly IN dreams of rest
Her eyes were shut on the world of men
Never to weep and grow dim again,
At the sOrrOwful story of grief and loss,
Ordarken with pain the weight of .oss;
And her lips were shut close, as ifto keep,
The sacrets of death and its wonderful
sleep.
"Wakrn, darliingr" be cried, and laid
His hands on the clasped hands of the maid
"Or is it not slumber that holds you here.
In thlsstrange, white silence? Answer deari
open your lips as the flower untOlds,
And tell me the sacrets your silence holds.
Lift from your cheeks that are waxen
The gold of your Iashes, and let the light,
OF even the sweetest ever knew,
Like the sunset, tremble through.
81 forget You are dead to the words |
say
The soul that would answer has gone away.
dead! Dead! Oh! you are not 1t cannot be,
Waken, darling, and answer me!
See. here is a rose, a great white rose,
Sweet as love is, and nsy-blOws,
'All wet with tears of the Angels. Wake,
Aud take them and wear them for loves
sweet sake.
II clasp your hand in my own and cry
ls it snch a terrible thing to die?
"The hardest lot is to live, and know
That face is hidden in grass or snow,
That was fairest, of all things under the
sun;
To think that the dream of all dreams is
done;
"To know that the years, be they many
or few,
Will be years of longing and grief for you!
my sweet, dead rose! If lay by yonr side,
L. bad died on the day you died.
"And the same low grave that will cover
you
COnld shut us both from the world. we
knew
Away froU the woe and ills that fret,
From loss and longing, and all regret
"Oh, love! such slunber would be so sweet,
Wrapped in daisies from head to feet
"Or snow that ia white as the cheeks kiss.
Where therOse were that so much miss!
'But that cannot be! You will rest and
Like a lilly asleep on an eddied stream,
while go on with the tide of life,
And think of you i'll its fercest strife
Think of the girl with the pansy eyes,
And the sometime gladness of Paradise,
For over there when the end shall come,
vi waiting and sleeplng-nO longer dumb
To the words Lutter-your lips will meet
My OWL i'll kiss that is wondrOus sweet!
IMPURE, white love! Take oneast long kiss
To keep while tho tIme Uf our waiting is;
land give it back in that realm so fair.
With Paradise bloom on your snn-tuuched
hair;
Andso--gOod-bye! But good morning there

nor fRAsxLIN SECURED a SEAT

DR.. Franklin owed much of his extlaor-
binary success to his keen insight into human
nature, and a sagacity t at quickly perceived
the best and readiest methods of attaining
desired end. To be sure, many Of hts 9 stfate-
getic movements were not commeut1able
but they were moro huinor6iis than injufious,
-of vshist thA following is . .ehasaeteristid
specimen
Inthc yeaf OF 1724 Franklin visited Boston;
ana on his return to Philadelphia, at every
stopping place he was beset with ofifffcious in-
quiries for his name; business, etc, OH which
he determined to be beforehand with such i'm
terrogatores in future. AT tho next tavern
he announced himself as Benjamin Franklin,
from Boston to Philadelphia, printer, not
worth dollar, eighteen years Of age, single
man, seeking my fortune ETC.. anu this singu-
hr introduction checked an further Inquiries,
and effectually ftpufsed the daring propensity
of Yankee inhusitivencss At one Of the
public houses; the Fireplace was surrounded
by men SO closely packed, our traveller could
not approach near enough to feel any Of its
agreeable warmth, and being cufd and Chilled;
he called out
IIoStfer, have You any oysters?"
Yes, sir" said the man.
Well, than give my horse peck +"
"WIlat, give your horse oysters? Z" cried
the wondering skeptic.
The hostlef carried out the oysters, and
many Of the occupiers Of the fireplace went
with linn to witness the great curiosity Of
horse eating oysters. Franklin seated himself
comfortably before the fire and derived much
satisfaction and enjoyment from his funny ex-
pertinent. Soon the man came in, and the
company with rueful faces expressed most
decided dissatisfaction at their disappoint-
ment. " The horse would not eat the oys-
tiers sir :" and they had lost their cosy, COM
Portable, warm seats.
Well, said franklin, " il the horse won't

A REpENTANT LION LIN the beginning of
the last century, there was in the menagciie
at Cassel lion that showed an astonishing
degree of tameness toward the woman who
had the care of him. This went so far that
the woman, IN order to amuse the company
which came to see the animal, would often
rashly place not only her hand, but even her
head, between his tremendous jaws. She had
frequently performed this daring act without
suffering injury but once, having introduced
her head into the lions mouth, the animal
made sudden snap, and killed her on the
spot. Undoubtedly this catastrophe was tn
intentional on the part Of the lion ( probably
at the fatal moment the hair on the woman's
head irritated the lions throat, and compell-
ed him to sneeze or cough.
This superstition seems to be confirmed by
what followed for as soon as the lion per-
ceived that he had killed his attendant the
good tempered and grateful animal exhibited
signs of Tho deepest melancholy laid himself
down by the side OF the dead body, which he
would not suffer to be taken away from him
refused to take any food, and in few days
pined himself to death.
