An Easter Poem.
BY Mrs. L. c. WILTON.

Bursting from earth in air of early spring,
found lily growing sweet and wild;
And plucked the blossom, snowy fair, to bring,
AS type of resurrection, to my child;
With it to show
How out OF death livinest life might grow
l told her then what Easter meant, and why
There seemed such gladness in the world to
reign;
Why clear-voiced choirs sang SO cxultantly
The joyful anthem Christ is risen again!''
That, dying, He
Had taken from the grave its victory
Because He died and rose again, +" said,
The dark and shadowy valley none need
feaI;
The little brother that to you seemed dead
Was only on Christ's bosom heavenly near
There is no tomb
Can prison or hide the souls immortal bloom ,
O! impotence of words! Who can explain
This wondcrous mystery? And yet, per
chance,
Through one white lily on Gods altar lain
My child may grasp the flowers signif
cance,
And, kneeling, say,
"a little child doth yield her heart to-dayr'

The Madn,an oTt1.e floods.

In the fall of 186-just before our win
ter logging campaign vague rumors were
afioat about raving maniac, escaped
from some asylum, who, it was said. had
taken to the woods, and was committing
depredations upon the farmers.
He was described as very large and
powerful man, armed with huge blud-
geon, said to be larger than three-years
sapling, with which he had killed several
oxen, and desperately wounded one man
who had had the hardihoOd to attack
him.
The day before we started for the log
tglng camp we were startled by the in
telligence that man answering the de-
scription Of this supposed myth had been
seen only ten miles distant, and the
morning Of our start, messenger from
our next neighbor, three miles away
summoned US to aid him in the capture
of this creature, who, Just at dusk, the
evening before, had, in full sight of one
Of his men. stolen sheep and rushed in
the forest with it uttering wild yells.
A fierce mastif had been set on him
which he instantly killed by blow from
his heavy club, and entered the thick IN
derbrush, into which no one dared follow
him. Here he uttered such terrible
shrieks as startled the bravest among the
men who had started in pursuit.
Although it caused great disa1range
ment OF our plans, we responded to th'
call, and twelve men, among them, start
ed the next morning on snow shoes ito
the snow was two OF three feet deep t
the aid of cur afflicted neighbor.
Arrived there, We found everything il
confusion, for the madman had enterct

at breakfast, and ridden off a horse q
full speed up the road, which had after

putrefaction.
This may be the effect of climate or of the
antiseptics with which the blocks were treat
ed, for no one can say that such horrible
payements can be found in Chicago, even af-
ter ten years of use. That the recently laid
specimens of wooden pavement in Chicago
stand as we'll as they do is remarkable, for
they are not much more akin to the Nichol-
son process than the play of Hamlet with
Hamlet left out, would be to the original.
The Nicholson specifications were as follows:
Six inches of sand on top of grading, we'll
packed and brought to the shape of the fin
ished work; upon this two layers of one inch
boards, swabbed on both sides with coal tar;
then six-inch blocks, kept apart by two-inch
strips of inch stuff, the four inch space above
! these strips and between the blocks, filed
liberal dose of coal tar poured in hot, and
the surface Of the pavement also tarred and
top dressed with gravel.
! The s:improvements'' have been first. one
layer of boards, dispensed with; second, the
tar swab, laid aside; third, the inch strip
dispensed with, the blocks being kept apart
by the pebbles alone, fourth, the other layer
of boards abandoned, the blocks resting
directly on the sand, and fifth, the use of
tar given up.
We have now left the sand, the blocks and
the gravel, and no further reduction can well
be made, and retain wooden pavement.
These successive reductions certainly dimin-
ish the expense very much, whether the
merit of the pavement has besn much
lessened has been disputed point. think
if the expense saved had been devoted tc
preparing as perfectly as possible, the road

Ii one 8 eyes are dazzled at any of
the Official balls at P;,ris by sud
den vision of loveliness, bo sure that
the vision aforesaid has come
straight across the Atlantic. Now
our girls at home are prettier than
plnks and peaches, but once let
them como to Paris, and let their
natural taste in dress receive the
hnishing touches Of Partisan style.
ana the result is-well, it is lust
bewiidering. And it is really anus
ing, if sometimes little annoyinp,
to note sensation that one of our M
radiant damsels will create in nnv
place of public resort. A lady
friend OF mine, with her husband.
took little American beauty to
Opera Comique, few nights ago.
The young lady was quietly though
stylishly dressed and was q per-
fectly well-bred and modest
nered girl, but when the party went
out to promenade in the foyer be-
tween the acts, as is the custom
here, the people literally walked
round and round the dazzling little
Americaine, gazing at her in opens
eyed astonishment and admiration.
Yet sue was simply very pretty
little brunette, with a complexion
whose cream and roses owed none
of their lustrue to pearl-powdor or
print. So if suggestion of mine,
made before the exhibition was
opened, had been carried out, name
ly, that each Of our cities should
send collection of portraits of it's
famous bellies, trow that that ex-
hibit would have proved the most
popular one in the Camp de Mars.
AS it is, there are scarcely any
portraits ever shown there of our
fair danes and damsels. There is
indeed one of Miss Howe (the
daughter of Mrs. Julia Ward Howe
the poetess) in the American art
department, but the painting hardly
does justice to the loveliness of the
original. In the italian art depart
ment the portrait of Miss Emile
Schaumburg, of Philadelphia, by
the most celebrated of living Italian
portrait painters, Signor Bompiani
has attracted much attention. The
artist has admirably reproduced tn.
singular grace and refinement of tn,
original-no light task, by the way
to judge from the difficulty tina
even the greatest Of the Frencl
artists seem to experience in tina
respect, as witnesses, Carolus Duran
