Perfect BOreS.

Such torrents will talk about the gall
lows to a man whose brother has been
hung; will describe the delights of mat
rimony to one who has been disappointed
in love; and entertain the sick with &C
counts of all the recent deaths in the
neighborhood. They will wear silks and
diamonds in a street car, or in the public
streets; have pie for breakfast and roast
beef at tea time; paint their houses
green and the window blinds blue; have
paper of the delirium tremens pattern on
the bedroom walls; cultivate vegetables
in the front yard; sing tenor with bass
voice; write poetry for the newspapers
before they know how to spell; and do a
thousand more things to set ones teeth
on edge, and send cold chills down his
back. They seem to be incurable, and
must we suppose, be endured, like mos
quitoes, frogs, dust and other fore-or-
dained nuisances intended to aid in the
growth of patience-but it is hard!

Alexis and His Cartoon.

The Grand Duke Alexis, while passing
up Broadway few days ago, had his at
tention drawn to water color cartoon
representing himself and favorite dog,
that was on exhibition in store window.
He laughed heartily over it and directed
one OF his suite to discover the artist.
The other morning Alberto Operti, son of
the musical director of Booths Theatre,
was surprised by a reception of an auto
graph letter inviting him to an audience
with his Imperial Highness, on board of
the Russian flagship. Here he was hand
somely received, and the Grand Duke
gave him a superb gold and enameled
cigarette box. In return the young
artist gave his Imperial Highness an
order for the cartoon.-New York San.

SEEKING THE MAY-FLOWER.
BY L. G. STEDMAN.

The sweetest sound our whole year round
IT'S the first robin of the spring!
The song of the full orchard choir
Is not so fine a thing.
Glad sights are common: Nature draws
Her random pictures through the year.
But oft her music bids us long
Remember those most dear.
To me, when in the sudden spring
hear the earliest robins lay,
With the first thrill there comes again
One picture of the May.
The veil is parted wide, and 10,
moment, though my eyelids close,
Once more see that wooded hill
Where the arbutus grows
I see the village dryad kneel
Trailing her slender fingers through
The knotted tendrils as she lifts
Their pink, pale flowers to view.
Once more dare to stoop beside
The dove-eyed beauty of my choice,
And long to touch her careless hair,
And think how dear her voice.
My eager, wandering hands assist
With fragrant blooms her lap to fill,
And half by chance they meet her own,
Half by our young hearts will.
Till, at the last, those blossoms
Like her, so pure; SO sweet, SO shy
Upon the gray and lichened rocks
Close at her feet l lie
Fresh blows the breeze through hemlock trees,
The fields are edged with green below;
And naught but youth and hope and love
We know or care to know.
Hark! from the moss-clung apple bough,
Beyond the tumbled WALL there broke
That gurgling music of the May
Twas the first robin spoke!
I heard it, ay, and heard it not
For little then my glad heart visit
What toll and time should come to pass,
And what delight he missed
Nor thought thereafter, year by year
Hearing that fresh yet olden song,
To yearn for unreturning joys
That with its joy belong. Atlantic.

O. w. Holmes on the Present Age.

DIR. Oliver Wendell Holmes delivered
a lecture before the Boston Microscopical
Society, recently, and in opening said:
" To men of my generation this modern
world, which most of you take as a
matter of course, it being the only con-
dition of things Of which you have had
experience, is a source Of wonder-a
standing miracle. Science and art have
in our time 50 changed the aspect Of
everyday life that one Of a certain age
might we'll believe himself on another
planet or in another stage of existence.
The wand of Prometheus is in our
match-boxes; the rock of Horeb gushes
forth it's streams in our dressing-rooms;
our words flash from continent to CONT
nent; our very accents are transmitted
from city to city; the elements of form
ing worlds are analysed in our labora-
tories; and most wonderful and signif
cant of all, the despotic reign of tradi-
ton has received its death-blow when
the angel of anesthesia lifted from wo-
manhood the worst terrors of the primal
malediction."

A RUSSIAN engineer has invented a

A HOuse-Buiiding Fish.

In Lake Nyassa, in the far interior of
Africa, is a kind of black fish which
every year builds what the natives call
q house." In the mud at the bottom
of the lake it makes hole some two Or
three feet broad, allowing the earth re-
moved from the hole to form little
wall around it. The depth Of the hole
and the height of the wall measured
together make a small basin from fifteen
to eighteen inches deep. In this little
lake within a lake the fish feels secure
from all enemies, and very quietly keeps
house until the eggs are laid, when it be-
comes restless, and leaves the house as
a nursery for successors, while it roams
about again at Will.-S. Nicholas.
