The Little Maid That Slept.

Sombre folds the windows shroud,
Phantom figures come and go
Hearts that must not break too loud,
Muffled footballs, whispers low,
Cool deft handS-about bed
Where, meath fever's scorching sway,
Lies a little restless head,
Tossing, tossing, tossing aye.
But the hour of fate draws nigh,
And the mid-sun overhead
Shrieks and drops from out the sky
Yea, the child is dead
But she lies so dimpling- fair,
In her bed-gown long and white,
With her waves of heavy hair
Drowning neck and shoulder bright,
With the f1ower-tips just apart,
Half way budded to a smile
Pure young heart, o sweet child-heart,
Hardly smirched with human guile!
Life so bright on cheek and brow
And those thin white lids of hers
Fancy whispers, "Softly now,
Softly-see, she stirs ~
But the twin hands fairy small,
Never rise end hang and fall
With the breath's soft ebb and flow.
Yea, the breaking m other heart,
Throbbing close, in anguish prest,
Vainly ali would its warmth impart
Kisses win no kissed reply,
Yea, the pet name softly said
Lures no smile to mouth and eye
Truly, she is dead.
First to heaven He turns His eyes
One long moment, as in prayer,
Then upon the maid that lies
Lapt in slumber still and fair,
Lo, his hands just touch her clay;
Little maiden, wake, arise ~
And the sharp sweet light of day
Smites in lightning on her eyes,
And the blood's swift tide again,
Like a stream its chain that breaks,
Sings through every tingling vein,
As she signs and smiles, and wakes.
Lips that laugh and eyes that weep,
Throat that thrills with stifed scream
Little maiden, thou didst sleep
oh to know thy dream

A Compensation.
BY MARY a. BARR.

A band of women, bearing in white hands
Wine thick with honey, cakes, and incense
sweet,
And clothed with linen girt with golden bands,
Went singing through Olympia's ancient
street,
To Zesus' TEN ple-each with shrouded head
And feet unsandled, and long, loosened halr;
Until, their cause made sweet with gifts, they
said:
"Well- minded Zesus, o listen to our prayer.
"HaSt thou not made some women fair as day,
Dear and desirable each love-lft face?
And far from others put each charm away?
Now give to all alike of Beauty's grace"
Good-hearted Zesus all smiling heard, and
thought
fequal beauty every maid might share
But, falling, Juno'S wiser counsel sought.
''Say, Queen, can earthly women all be fair?'
Low laughed the goddess. "Then not even
Jove
Has Beauty's subtlest secret understood;
Venus herself would fail, though linked with
Love,
Unless she first could make all women good
"But there is help, and pleasant help, wot."
Then Vanity to Earth she quickly sent;
And To- the fair 1Uere fair !; those who were not
Belieced they acre, and Herewith were con-
tent.

SAFE AND SURE.

Mr.. H. r. StevenS:-
In 1872 your Vegetine was recommended to
me, and, yielding to the persuasionS OF friend,
T consented to try it. At the time l was suffer-
ing from general debility and nervous prostra-
ton, superinduced by overwork and irregular
habits Its wonderful strengthening and cura-
tive properties SEEM % affect my debilitated
sustem from the fiIs! dose; and under its per-
SiStent use l rapidly recovered, gaining more
than usual health and good feeling. Since then
1 have not hesitated to give Vegetine my most
unqualified endorsement, as being safe, sure
and powerful agent in promoting health and
restoring the wasted system to new life and
energy. Vegetlne is the only medicine use ;
and as long as L live never expect to find
better. Yours truly, w. II. CLARK,

A YEAR OF NATIONAL SHAMEsGThe
year which has just closed is altogether the
most disgraceful in American annals, if dis
grace is to be measured by the exposure
rather than by the perpetration of stupen-
dous breaches of trust. If the year of
1877 has any competitor for this bad pre-
enhance, it is the year ,1S71. when the
monstrous robbories of the Tweed firing
were dragged forth into putH;ty, and the
rascalities of the infamous Credit Mobilier
were fastened by proofs upon their authors
and accompliccs. But in those instances
the vilainy was not so widely diffused.-
There was one great focus of corruption in
this city, another great focus of corruption
at Washington, but the tainI and rottenness
had not spread into every kind of private
and scmi-public transaction. But atspres-
ent the whole atmosphere seems rocking
with foulness. Every description Of. fraud
and cmbezzlcmcnt is repeated in every part
of the country until tteir Accumulated mag
nitude seem like Pelion piled upon Ossa in
the ancient fiction. 1t is difficult to say
whether frauds have attained rankcr

AN APPROPRIATE HYMN.-Thc Rochcs-
tor EcPress says: The story is told, and
it is said to be entirely true, that at the re.
cent dedication of Baptist Church in this
county the ceremony of immersion was per-
formed for the first time in that church by
a well known Baptist minister of this city.
When he had entered the water, and while
waiting for the candidate, the minister sug-
gested that somebody should sing an appro-
pirate hymn. One Of the deacons who
stood near by heard the suggestion, and
without thinking, struck up the familiar
hymn, Pull for the shore, The hymn
proved to be so suggestive that neither the
minister nor congregation could refrain from
an audible smile for some time, and the
ceremony had to be postponed until the
preacher could recover his gravity.
