much difficulty in finding one who had suit

find her he was surprised that she was the
vrtuous daughter of pious parents, and had
adopted this curious profession because she

nothing else to do. Joined to her rare and
quisite melancholy, which seemed born Of
some vague and unexpressed apprehension
of future trouble. During the seventy or
eighty sittngs which the model gave the ar =

enleavored TO win from her the secret OF her
troubles, but always in vain. At last hs

THE FLOCK OF DOVES.
BY CELIA THAXTER.

The world was like wilderness
or soft and downy snow;
The trees were plumed with feathery fakes,
And the ground was white below.
Came the little mother out to the gate
TO watch for her children three:
Her hood was as red as the poppy-nower,
And rosy and young was she.
She took the snow In her cunning hands,
As waiting she stood alone,
And 10 iu moment, beneath her touch,
fair white dove had grown.
flock she wrought, and on the fence
Set them In bright array.
With folded wings, or pinions spread,
Ready TO fly away.
And then she hid by the pine ee.tall,
For the childrens tones rang sweet,
AS home from school, through the drifts so light
They sped with merry feet.
"oh Mamie, Mamie, see the fence
Alive with doves so white r.
"Oh, hush don't frighten them away"
They whisper with delight.
They crept so soft, they crept so still,
The wonderous sight TO see,
The little mother pushed the gate
And laughed out joyfully.
And lips SO sweet and red
"The birds are only made OF snow.
You are my doves, she said

[ From the Ner Century for Woman.]
We are three tender, cllnging things,
With palpitatlng natures,
We cant endure that gentlemen
Should think of us as creatures
Who dress like rights and want their rights,
or business to attend to,
or have their views, or ask the news,
or anything that men do.
oh listen, valued gentlemen,
Don't let yourselves be blinded:
We're not estranged, we're no way changed,
And not the least strong minded.
We can't abide cares and things,
We never touched an ism;
We couldn't stand outside a sphere
Nor do a syllogism.
We don't enjoy rode health like some,
Nor mannish Independence
We're helpless as three soft shelled crabs,
Without some male attendants.
We need-o, how we media guide
Seizure, his views obtaining.
or what to like, and where to step,
And whether 1t is raining.
And when we roam, we wait for him
To point, with manly structures,
The landscape out, and say Behold"
Just as they do In pictures.
We're ng-conidng-
Too easily weie blinded,
We're clinging and hanging
And truly feeble minded.
We dissaprove the sort Of girl
Who calls for education,
And sells her talents like man,
For bold remuneration.
We'd die before we learned trade;
We'd scorn to go to college
We know Qrom parsing Milton) how
Unfeml1ine is knowledge.
"God is thy law, thou mine, II says;
Thou art my guide and mentor,
Ny author and my publisher
Source. patentee, inventor.
But We we can do naught but cling,
AS on the oak the vine did;
And we know nothing but to love;
Indeed, we're feeble minded.

Captain BurtOn's Discoveries in the
Land OF indian.

London Spectator: A correspondent
of the Times, writing from Alexandria,
informs the public that Captain Burton,
the African traveller, has made " find
of unusual interest. At the request Of
the khedive he has visited the " land Of
Midian," the desOlate region on the
eastern side of the gulf Of Akabah, the
eastermost of the two long and narrow
estuaries in which the Red sea ends. Ac-
companied by NJ. George Marie, a
French engineer, Captain Burton landed
in Midian on the I'd of April, and in an
exploration of some weeks explored
region full of ruined towns, built OF
solid masonry, with made roads, aque-
deucts five miles long, artificial lakes
and massive fortresses, all marking a
wealthy and powerful people. Their
wealth was based on mining operations,
and Cantain Burton reports the exis-
tence OF gold, silver, tin, antimOny and
tnTonoise mines. The auriferous region
IL extensive indeed, the discoverer be-
Iieves he has opened a California, and
the khedive proposes TO have the coun-
try worked by European capitalists. II
will be remembered that in the bible
Midian is always described as land full
of metals, especially gold, silver and
lead. It is more than probable that
Solomon's ophir was situated there, as
the small ships in which he imported
gold, ivory and peaoocks, were launched
at the head of the Red sea. Midian ~
