THE MOSS ROSE.
BY H. W.

Knowest thou this flower, thus messy stem
med,
Can tell a strange, weird story;
Knowest thou romance its life attends,
Surrounding it with glory?
Not always thus with moss and flowers,
Hath il been known to flourish;
Once it formed natures widest bowers;
Naught but thorns its stem would nourish
But now, sweet maid, tits loves true token,
Can secrets of the heart explore;
memorys golden chain is broken,
The missing link 1t can restore.
Then list, perchane 1 may explain
Why thus 1t now doth blossom here,
Whence it derives its sacred name,
And why its bloom all hearts revere.
Years ago, two maidens fair and young,
Whom friendships ties had e'er united.
Once loved, but alas their love was one,
A soldier famed and knighted.
And yet they loved in silence ever,
Their passion unto each unknown;
Thus naught their friendship e'er could sever.
For each one deemed she loved alone.
The one was fair, with golden tresses,
And lustrous eyes serenely blue;
The other dark-such as beauty blesses
With cheeks of crimson, dusky hue.
The one was gentle, mild, reserved,
Inspiring love and sweet affection;
The other sparkling, sunlike, nerved,
A sunbeam to dispel detection,
Thus still they loved, their secret cherished,
Till both at last their sorrow learned;
The one they loved In wars soon perished
\ dull, cold corpse to them returned.
The secret deep which naught could open,
Death at last to both revealed;
They found, alas! with hearts how broken;
What woe their secrecy concealed.
For each had deemed herself the chosen.
Each had trusted far in love;
The truth revealed, their hearts were frC zen,
Cold death their spirits bore above.
Their graves, unmarked, not long remember
ed,
In sad neglect were soon forgot.
Twas then her aid kind nature rendered,
Guarded with widest growth the spot
Thus unmolested, thorn embowered,
With widest nature left alone:
Till, after years, the thornbush fiowered,
With flowers of fragrance then unknown.
Instead of thorss, which disappeared,
A downy moss each stem o'ergrew;
Thus natures first moss-rose was reared,
And first the world its fragrance knew.
And hence tits said ifs blooms express
All that memory sweet endears;
Lovers hence It's sacredness confess,
And each fond heart its life revers.

voICas or THE SEA.
BY nERrHA SCRANTON POOL.

And ali OF the rivers run down to the sea-
The seal that heavily lies,
And watches the crimson morning break
II the paliid gray of the skies.
And then, at twilight, golden edge
Creeps over the world like psalm,
And kisses the restless waves that break
On the horizons amber calm.
And all OF the ships sail forth-sail forth
To the narrow ledge in the blue,
And dip their white wings, like the birds
That the distance hides from view.
And over the darkness streams the glow
or the lighthouse, when day wanes,
And all that comes TO thee goes out
Goes out, and naught remainsi
wonder whatever you say, sea?
For your shuddering lips make moan,
And fun of graves tho your bosom be,
You seem to be ever alone.
Is it for mortal love and fear
That trample across your heart,
You shudder the warning men will not hear,
When the planks off good ship part?
LIS it when hoarse and wild you sing,
And the storms laugh at our woe,
And masts fall prone like flower stalks,
And men crouch white below
Is it when clinging to spray wet spans.
You DRIFT us thro' the world,
Anu ah hhc WcSnt Oi your Wlld revenge
On two cinging arms Is hurled?
Or is IL when solemnly, deeply still,
We lower the hammock sheet,
With a round shot ct the quiet head
And round shot at the feet,
And read as prayer-not "Earth to earth"
In a quiet burial ground,
With the sunlight over an open grave
And the mourners all around;
But "Unto the Deep" the awful deep,
No man can quite forget,
When the good ship sails on her course,
And the widening circles yet
Spread on and out, as tho to heaven,
Where a weight went down In the blue,
With never mound to point the spot,
Or a flower to creep mp through.
No man can quite forget, say,
The sudden wrench of pain
AS he misses face on the morrow's watch
He never may see again.
In tropical depths of purple wave
The weeds grow green and tall,
And the coral lifts its pinnacles
Like a drowned city's wall;
And, leaning over the brave ships side,
We still can catch thy cry,
As, tho captive in your chains,
You prayed unto the sky.
And white thy cliffs and wild thy shores,
And cruel thy great bergs be,
But the plaint that thy shuddering dirges
sing
IL the saddest of all to me.

denominations will be held in Baltimore
during the first part of May, to ratify the
basis OF union adopted by commissioners of
both churches who met ats Pittsburg Octo-
Der, 1875. Separate preliminary meetings
for organization will be held by the dele
gates on May IL. These two bodies, which
were formerly one, separated in 1861 upon
the question of slavery. To effect the re-
union the word "white' is to be dropped
from the constitution of the Methodist Pro-
eestant church, and other minor modifca-
tions will be made The name Methodist
Protestant will be the one retained. The
statistics of the new church, as reported,
will be as follows: Members and probation
ers, 140, 900; itinerant ministers, 1900; an
nual conferences, 40; value of church prop
erty, S3,O00,000. These churches are non
episcopal in their form of government.
Mr.. Moody has expressed himself as espe-
cially satisfied with the results of the divi-
sion of the noon prayer meeting at the Bos-
ton tabernacle into half dozen meetings.
when Christians get done," he said, ''run-
ming after men, and go to praying, this work
will be successful and its results permanent"
At the fremont temple the noon meeting is
attended by 1900 persons; at the same time
of the day woman's meeting, led by Miss
Frances Z. Willard, is held at the Park street
church. Other noon meetings are held at
Chelsea. A market mems meeting is held
every day at Lakeman's hall. On Friday at
noon great temperance meeting is convened
at the tabernacle. On Sunday last the ninth
week OF the tabernacle services began; near
'ly 10000 persons attended on that day. At
the night meeting nearly 100 men who had
been gathered from the north end of the city
and fed, were present. The sermon was to
men only. The attendance this week has
been large; on Tuesday evening, which was
stormy, 5000 persons were present OF the
effect of these services the Boston Traveller
gives this estimate: Boston is certainly
stirred as it has seldom been stirred before,
and there are indications that the movement
will have still wider reach and deeper in
huence than at present, as each day men
who have been lukewarm are brought into
active cooperation, while many Indifferent
have been interested, and some who were
hostile have been brought to look upon it in
new light"

As tender as love can frame;
Bet what does 1t ali avail me?
The terrible truths the same.
You counsel a holy quiet,

The darling kissed, fondled,

Made palIid the deepest sky,
Was your far away gaze prophetics
Were We fashioned to fade and dies
Who said that the angels in Heaven
Amidst of their praise might pause
AS inward she stole-my darling!
To marvel how fair she was?
Thanks, thanks for the soothing vision:
But my desolated d heart is wild,
And it ponders in pain the question
Had God any need Of the ehiIdf
One face missed out of the faces
That circle His throne-one dim,
Faint voice from the alleluias-
How little that were to Him.
One presence my warm arms filling.
One brow that yearn to see,
One echo to break my silence,
Here all of the world to me.

opinion that black-eyed ladies are mont
apt to be passionate and jealous. Blue
eyed, soulful, truthful, affectionate and
confiding. Gray.eyed, philosophical,
literary, resolute, cold-hearted. Hazel

woman is either worth a good deal or
nothing. II good for nothing. she 10 not

ANOTHER INTERNATIONAL RIFLE
MATCH.

All lovers of the noble sport of rife
shooting, says the New York Herald,
will be plensed to learn that Creedmoor
will again be the scene Of an interesting
rifle match. The National Rifle Asso-
citation having issued an invitation to
the world of markmenship to send teams
to compete for the Centennial trophy so
splendidly won by our own team last
year ip the contest with the crack shots
OF Ireland. Scotland, Canada and Aus
tralia. cable dispatch from London an
nounces that o team from the United
Kingdom will come this year to compete
for the prize. The chief interest attach
ing to this rifle match lies in the fact
that for the first time our rifemen will
shoot against English marksmen. 1t will
be remembered that in any previous
matches, both here and in Ireland and
Scotland, no Englishmen took q part
The misunderstanding regarding the ar
fangement of the team proposed by
Great Britain last year prevented the
formation OF one representing the three
kingdoms; consequently we had separate
teams from Scotland and Ireland.
Now, however. all difficulties are re-
moved, and our rifemen. crowned as
they are with the laurels of many fields,
will find in this new team competitors
whom they may be justly pruod to de-
feat in peaceful contest ct the butts of
Creedmoor. Considering that several
Of the Irish and Scotch marksmen were
equally skilful as our best men, the
prospects OF o close contest are increased
by the addition OF the best shots of
England. Confident as our rifemen we'll
may be in their acknowledged strength,
they had better prepare assiduously for
this fiery trial. for the American people
expect them to hold the trophy against
the world.

At q recent meeting of the Nationa

At o recent meeting Of the National
Academy Of Sciences in Washington,
Major Powell gave an account Of the
humid or agricultural lands and the arid
or worthless portions. Nearly all of the
arid lands are west of Minnesota and Me-
braska. The unsold public land in the
humid region are almost wholly undesir-
able property. In Florida are l,SO0,O 900
acres Of this sort. including the vast
swamps of the Everglades. In Alabama
there are 1900, 900; in Louisiana. 5,00O,-
900; in Mississippi. 3.375.O0O. The arid
regions Of the United States extend oyer
1,4s7. 1877 square miles; Of this nearly
100000 miles may be called pasturage
region; 10000 mountain region; 1885,.
900 desert lands; the dad lands" nearly
100, timber lands and plateau region
each about $4,000; canyon and lava
regions together about 100000. Majo,
Powell says there is not enough public
lands in the United States which poo,
man could turn into farm to make an
average county. All the best lands have
been appropriated. and, unless the rocks
contain valuable ores, or the soil timber
they are worthless to settlers.

Twas THUS THEY MET.-Yesterday
afternoon one of the men employed at
the railroad shops came into town on
business. On his way he met and passed
o man going in the opposite direction.
The mans face seemed familiar to him,
and after ten minutes exercise OF his
memory, it flashed upon him that it was
former Phoebe acquaintance who was
indebted to him for little loan of 500.
II had been borrowed under very aggra-
waiting circumstances and never returned,
and our friend had promised himself the
pleasure, If they ever met again. OF tax.
ing 1t out of the carcass of the debtor.
He brooded on It all the way up town,
hurried through his business and started
back in hopes that he would meet the
same individual. Fortune favored him
and they met just below the Consolidated
Stag pile. He accosted the debtor, and
after mutual recognitions. demanded
payment of the sum due. The Piocher
was impecunious and so stated, when the
railreader announced his warlike inten.
tons and proceeded to wade in. 1t was
lively aud interesting set-to and lasted
until one cried enough. That one was
not the debtor by any means. He had
won the fight with ease and escaped with
out scratch. The unfortunate creditor
gathered up all that was left OF himself
and crawled along toward the shop as
fast as his MANNED and crippled condi-
ton would allow, while the victor saun-
tered up town muttering to himself that
that was q pretty way to meet an old
friend, and he reckoned that the next
time the id fool had bill TO collect
he would place it in the proper hands
and not try and scare an old Piocher.-
