THE COTTAGE BY THE MILL.
BY JESSIE PIERsON.

Shall paint for you the picture
of the cottage Dy the millp
The cottage brown and olden,
And where roses seemed to nl
All the air with sweetest perfume,
In the summer nights SO still.
The pretty, quaint old cottage,
With its low roof slOping down.;
Far away from busy murmur
Of the noisy distant towD,
And where lived little maiden,
With soft eyes Of deepest brown,
Lived without a thought of sorrow.
With life as pure ana sweet
AS the lilies in the meadow,
That she brushed with Dare, white feet,
In tht dewy, fragrant mornings,
Ere the sunny no0ntide's heat.
And her songs were gladstone echoes
OF the birds clear roundelay-
All her life was stepped in sunshine,
Till, alas! one summer uay,
To the cottage brown and oIden,
Came Stranger, gallant, gay.
And he saw q wondroas beauty
In the maIden's soft, brown evesk
Came to love to watch them tighten
Into innocent surprise,
uen lit JOlu ueT Ol Strange Countllos,
Under distant, un-1ushed skies
Painting for her sight, vision
Or those evenings faint and rare,
In the city OF the islands,
Where the ladies, gay and fair,
Decked in laces and IN jewels,
Floated through the perfumed air,
In their fairy like gondolas,
Down the silver lighted streams;
FaireI than the loveliest vision
Family seen in the midnight dreams
And the maiden listened, longing
For the beautiful unseen.
So the warm, bright summer weather
Drlfted slowly, uay by day,
Toward the sad days OF the autumn;
Then the stranger, gallant, gay,
Whispering OF another meeting,
Said farewell, and went his way.
And the maiden smiled no longer,
For her heart was filled with pain;
Yet she watched and waited, hoping,
In the sunshine anu the rain,
For the lover, gay and gallant;
But he never came again.
Still there stands the tie cottage,
Near the old and moss grown mill;
But the merry songs that echoed
In its rooms, are ever still:
For the maiden now is sleeping
Meath the shadow Of the hill.

JENNY LIND AT FIFTY-SiX.

We translate from French journal

letter from Jenny Lind, the Swedish

written by her at Dresden, where she
now lives, to a friend in Paris:

IT is more than probable that the men
who are writing editorials condemning
Mayor Moore's course during the riots
did not mingle much with either the
authorities or the crowds during the
times of excitement. We have never
gone out Of our way to say good word
for the Mayor; but at this time, instead
Of being condemned, he deserves great
praise, and we are willing to accord it
to him. He did his duty in every emer-
gency, and did it with effect. There
was no bluster nor attempts to attract
attention, but day or night, wherever
the excitement was greatest, there was
the Mayor, taking steps to prevent
trouble. We can tell the Gazette that
II it had not been for the well-directed
forts of the Mayor at the o. & M. Depot
last Monday night, there would have
been a bloody scene In this city. The
Indications were all that way, but the
Mayors presence and the feeling in
favor OF good order that he aroused in
tie very midst of the mob q ieted the
tumult, and we believe was the mea ms oil
saving many lives and much valuable
property.

ALL correspondents writing from the
City of Mexico unite in the statement

100 think war with the United States
1T this time would be rather nice
pastime for them. They have been made
to believe that the people Of this country
are very much diyi ed in sentiment on
the Mexican question, that the Demo-
cratic party would not support President
Hayes in war with Mexico, and that the
Southern States would take advantage oil
the situation to institute another re-
beIlion. As silly as all these as.
sertions appear when repeated here, they
doubtless have great effect upon
the minds OF the Mexican populace, anC
serve 10 secure support to the Diaz
Government. So deep.rooted is the
feeling that the United States dare MOI
90 to war with Mexico at this time thai
1t probably more than anything else
prompted the Mexican authorities tt
demand the modification Of the Orc
order relating to the pursuit OF thieves
over the Mexican border. AS soon al
the railroad troubles have subsided ant
the Administration gets down TO 1T
regular work, with Secretary Evart
again at home, attention will doubtless
be given Mexican affairs, and such
course OF action announced as will con
vince the Diaz regime pretty prompt
that the United States, though not spoil

condition for taking care Of the live
and property of her citizens along tn
