THE NUEBROWN CURL.

Twas but n curl of nut brown hair
That she gave me rs Il token,
But every shining Silken thread
To me has volumes spoken
OF a summers eve on the village green,
And Il promise never broken!
She said, 'Now Jamie, take the curl,
And from the hour we part,
Keep this lock near and me within
Your memory and your heart!
And when your good ship plows the sea
And you roam in far-oH lands,
Let no other maiden claim the ring
With the hearts and the true claspet
hands,"
Long years have come and passed away
To the bourne of faded ages,
But fresh and bright is mcmory's log,
No blots have stained its pages!
" Land no! Land ho!'' the look out cries,
While clears the misty morn.
Look! Jamie, look! i see the home
Where you and / were bOrn,''
Ay, ny, my lad far more than that
Can my eyes see this morning,

THE OLD WAYS AND THE NEW

I've inst come i'm from the meadow, wife,
where the grass is tail and green;
hobbled out upon my caneto see Jolifshew
1t made INV old eyes snap again to see that
mower NOV,
And l heaved a sigh for the scythe swung
some twenty years ago
the rays of the scorching sun
Till thought my poor back would break ere
the task for the day was done.
often think of the days of toll in the fields all
over the farm,
Till feel the sweat on my wrinklcd brow and
the old pain come in my arm.
1t was hard work, it was slow work, a-swins-
ing the old scythe them;
Unlike the mower that went through the grass
like death through the ranks of men,
stood and looked till my old eyes ached
amazed at its speed and power
The work it took me Il day to do it done in one
ohn said hadn't seen the half; when he puts
il into his wheat
rd'see it resp it. and rake it and put it in bun
dies neat,
Then soon a YANKEE will come along and set
to work to larn
To reap and thrash it, and bag it up and send
II into the barn.
John kinder laughed when he said it, but
said to the hired men,
"Pye seen SO much i'm my pilgrimage thro' my
three score years and ten,
That wouldn't be surprised TO see railroad
Or Yankee in flying ship n going most any
where"
There. difference in the work done and the
work my boys now do;
Steady and slow in the good old way, worry
and fret in the new.
But somehow l think there was happiness
crowded into those toiling days,
The fast young men of the present won't see
till they mend their ways.
To think that should live to see work done
i'm NlS yft,t
Old tools are little service now, and farnin' Is
almost play;
The women have got their SEWN machines,
their wrinGers and every SIGH thing,
And now play croquet in the dOoryard, or sit
in the paTlor and sing.
'Twasn't you that had it so easy. wife, in the
days so long gone by;
lou riz up early and sat up late, a-toilins for
you and /;
There were cows to milk. there was butter to
make, and many day did you stand
Awashin' my toll stained garments, and
wringins them by hand.
All, wife. our children will never see the hard
work we have seen,
For the heavy task and the long task is done
with Il machine.
No longer the noise of the Scythe hear; the
mower-there, hear il afar!
A-rattlin' along through the tall stout grass
with the noise of II railroad car.
Well, the old tools now are showed away; they
stand "a gathcrin' rust,
Like many AN old man I've seen put aside with
only Il crust;
When the eye grows dim, when the step is
weak, when the strength goes out of his
arm.
The best thing n poor old man can do is to
hold the deed of the farm.
There is one old way that they can't improve,
although il has been tried
BY men who have studied and studied, and
worried till they died;

THE FACTS IN THE RATCLIFF CASE
A Physicians Strange Story.

first met Miss Borgier at tea party
in the town OF R, where | was at
tending medical lectures. She was a
tall girl, not pretty; her face would have
been inSipid but for the peculiar rest
lessneSs of her eyes. They were neither
bright nor expressive, yet she kept them
SO constantly in motion that they seemed
to catch and reflect light from thou
sand sources. Whenever, as rarely hap
pened, she fixed them even for a few
seconds upon one object, the Fictitious
brilliancy disappeared, and they became
dull and somnOlent. l am unable to say
what was the color of Miss Borgier's
eyes.
After tea was one of a group of peo-
pie whom our host, the Rev. Mr. Tinker,
sought TO entertain with a portfolio of
photographs of places in the Holy Land.
While endeavoring to appear interested
in his descriptions and explanations, all
of which had heard before, became
aware that Miss Borgier was honoring
me with steady regard. Ny gaze en-
countered hers and found that could
not, for the life of me, withdraw nv
own eyes from the encounter. Then l
had singular experience, the phenom-
ena of which noted with professional
accuracy. felt the slight construction
of the muscles of my face, the numb
ness of the nerves that precedes phys
ical stupor induced by narcotic agency.
Although l was obliged to struggle
against the physical sense of drowsiness,
my mental faculties were more than or
dnarily active. Her eyes seemed to
torpify my body while they stimulated
my mind, as opium does. Entirely
conscious of my present surround
ings, and particularly alert to the
Rev. MIR. Tinker's narrative of the ride |
from Joppa, l accompanied him on
that journey, not as one who listens to |
travellers tale, but rs one who himself
travels the road. When, finally, we
reached the point where the Rev. Mr..
Tinker's donkey makes the last sharp
turn around the rock that has been cut
ting off the view ahead, and the Rev.
MIR. Tinker beholds with amazement
and JOY the glorious panorama of Jeru-
salem spread out before him,I saw it all
with remarkable vividness. / saw Jeru.
salem in Miss BorSier's eyes.
L tacitly thanked fortune when her
eyes resumed their habitual dance
around the room, releasing me from
what had become rather humiliatino
captivity. Once free from their strange
influence, l laughed at my weakness.
=" Pshaw!' said to myself. "You are
a fine subject for a young woman of
talents to practice upon.''
"Who is Miss Borgier?" demanded
of the Rev. MIR. Tinker's wife, at the .
first opportunity.

Venetian Marriages.

The Venetains have had practical
and strictly business-like way OF arrang-
ing marriages from the earliest times.
The shrewdest provision has always
been made for the good of the State,
private and public interest being con-
suited, the small matter of the affections
has been left to the chances of associa-
ton, and it does seem that Venetian
society has ever dealt severely with
husbands or wives whom Incompatible
ty forced to seek consolation outside of
matrimony. Herodotus relates that the
llyrian Venetisold their daughters at auc
ton to the highest bidder; and the fair be-
ing thus comfortably placed in life, the
hard-favOred were given to whOmsoeyer
would take them with such dover as
might be considered a reasonable COM
pensatiOn. The auction was discon-
tinued in Christian times, but marriage
contracts still partOok of the form of a
public and half mercantile transaction.
AT a comparatively late period Venetian
fathers went with their daughters to
great annual matrimonial fair at San
Pietro of CASTILLO Cilvolo, and the youth
OF the lagoOns repaired thither to choose
wives from the number of the maidens.
These were all dressed in white, with
hair loose about their neck, and each
bore her dover in little box, slung over
her shoulder by a ribbon. 1t supposed
that there was commonly an under
standing between each damsel and some |
youth in the crowd; as soon as all had |
paired off, the bishop gave them a SER
mon and his benediction, and the young
men gathered up their brides and boxes
and went away welded. This going to
San Pietro's selecting wife, and mar.
rying her on the spot, out of hand,
could only have been the continuance of
a straightforward practical race. Among
the common people betrothals were
managed with even greater ease and

took place in 1443 there is an account
