JACK FROST AND L.
From the Russian.]


You remember that day, Jack Frost, that day
in the wintry weather,
When she and you and 1, all three, were out
In sleigh together;
Your cousin, old Boreas. was doing his best,
to give the old fellow his due,
And could not well say when 1t was ], nor
yet, Frost, when 1t was you.
Was it you, you rogue, that deepened SO the
rose tint upon her cheek?
Or was 1t l. with the earnest words bent m Y
head to speak,
Could it have been you that dimmed, just
then, the brightness of her eyes?
Or was 1t but tear or two, to which my
words gave rise?
And then she shivered sometimes, and drew
closer to my side,
Till | wished my whole existence could be
passed In a sleigh ride.
The shiver you may claim, It's entirely
in your line
Yes, yield to you the SILVER, but the gesture
/ call mine.
it couldn't have been you that made her clasp
my arm when we went down the hill
With a little hand in a fur edged glove wish
/ felt it there still,
/ would be Just to you, Jack Frost, would go
In for fair play
But wasn't 1t l. rather more than you, the
day we were out In that sleigh?

The Lords Day in Scotland.

Tho Puritanic spirit that found expression
In the blue laws and other legislative enact
ments of colonial New England, still holds
the fort in Scotland in all its pristine vigor.
In Edinburg, on recent Sunday, an English
traveller was singing "Annie Laurie in his
hired lodgings and playing the accompani-
ment on piano Enraged at this awful de-
serration OF the holy Sabbath, a Scotchman,
who occupied an adjoining apartment, walked
into the EngIishman's room and opened dis
cussion by knocking the profane desecrator
down. fight ensucd, in which the burly
Scot came out ahead Both were arrested
and taken before magistrate, who, after
carefully weighing the evidence, sent the
Englishman to jail for breaking the Sabbath,
and discharged his assailant with hearty
commendation for his noble conduct. The
London papers, with genuine English per-
versity complain of this decision as unjust,
and even hint that the wrong man was incar-
cerated but there are thousands of Ameri-
cans whose hearts will warm towards the
Edinburg magistrate, while they lament the
deplorable laxity of religious notions in this
country permits indulgence in ungodly melo-
dies upon the Lords day.

the cory legends of Louisiana, familiar
shadows of yore that kindle the pasts slum-

During the late war between Servia
and Turkey it so happened that some
OF the lady nurses and their staff as
well as some special correspondents
and medical men, fell somehow with
in the jurisdiction OF Turkish pasha.
They were naturally anxious to ex-
plain to this dignitary that they were
non combatants. and entitled to pro-
lection. They deputed very well
known special correspondent with q
person who pretended to be Turish
interpreter, to wait upon the Pasha
to make explanations The cores
pendent found himself not wholly
without emotion in the awful pres
ence of the Pasha The interpreter
tried to begin the explanation, but
very soon stammered In his Turkish,
and seemed unable to gee on. The
correspondent tried to come to his
assistance, but being much weaker
in his Turkish than even the inter-
prefer, was unable to get beyond a
few words, and soon broke down
completely. The Pasha made sign
to interrupt him, and tho correspon-
dent waited Ia excitement. The
Pasha said: "Ah then you can speak

beautiful city OF Cork"

Z Nutmegs grow on trees which look
like pear trees, and are generally
over twenty feet high. The flowers
are very much like the lily OF the
valley. they are pale yellow, and
very fragrant. The nutmeg is the
seed OF the fruit, and mace is the thin
coverying over this seed. The fruit
is about as large as a peach When
ripe it breaks open and sh ows the lit
tie nut inside. The trees grow on
the Island OF Asia, and in tropical
America. They bear fruit for seven
ty or eighty years, having ripe fruit
upon them at all seasons. A fine tree
10 Jamaica has over 1000 nutmegs on
it yearly. The Dutch used to have
all the nutmeg trade, as they owned
the Banda Islands, and conquered all
the other traders, and destroyed the
trees. To keep the price up, they
once burned three piles OF nutmegs,
each OF which was as large as a
church. Nature did not sympathize
with such meanness. The nutmeg
pigeon, found in all of the Indian is
lands, did for the world what the
Dutch had determined should not be
done carried these nuts, which are
their food, into all the surrounding
countries. aud trees grew again, and
the world has the benefit.
