FOR THE FAIR SEX.
Kiss and Wed.

Oh, |" Kiss and wed :" is often said;
 Not often wed and kiss 1t should not try the dullest head
 To find what's here amiss If kiss and wed is all that's said,
 Ii love no further goes, If, when its happy summers fled,
 The bloom is off it's rose It seems to me 'twould better be
 To choose a thriftier flower And there's the steadfast apple-tree, In spring rosy bower! But, ohs it's hours of lovely flowers Are but the prelude sweet; Its summers but the trysting- time
 When Love and Beauty meet; And then, what worthier close couldst see To its consistent rhyme, Than when the fruit hangs ripeningly In golden autumn-time Then let Love be like this good tree,
 The best keep for the last; Say "Wed and kiss" and you'll not miss The key that holds him fast!

CaSabianca-1S79. The boy lny in his little bed
 Though oft his mother called: Get up! come down to breakfast, FredH' " Get upn his father bawled Yet quiet and serene he lay,
 As though he heard them not; OppossuIn did the youngster play,
 Though things were getting hot. The time passed on-he did not start,
 But took another nap; His father up the stairs did dart,
 And gave his door q rap. He cried aloud, " Say, Freddie, say!
 Why don't you leave your bed ?" But silently young Freddie lay,
 As though he were quite dead. |" Speak, Freddie, once again he cried For must soon be gone; And V but lusty snorc replied-
 Pas patience nearly gone. Up to his face quick ron the blood
 He tore his auburn hair, A moment at the doorway stood
 In still, yet deep despair, And shouted gain, with thundcrous knock, Young scoundrel, do you hear? While in the hall loud ticked the clock, That grated on his car With angry push he opened the door,
 And slammed it to agaln; With noisy Strides across the floor,
 To the bed he walked amain Then came a sound like threshing wheat Or butcher rendering steak; Hear screams! hear moans! hear scamporiu
 feet,
 An, Freddie is awake. A ringing bell, mothers call, May sometimes rouse a lad; But the only sure thing, after all, 1 Is q father when he's mad

Anti-treating temperance societies are multiplying throughout the country. In Philadelphia, @ Sunday morning break fast is the inducement to attend tenn perance meeting. A member of the Michigan legislature has introduced a bill making it a misdemeanor to sell liquor to a woman under any circum- stances. The current temperance agita- tiOn in London takes the shape of con- trOversy as to the extent of beer adultcr- ation. Francis Murphy has been lectur- ing, during a great part of the season, for Sl00 a night. Cough finds favor as a lecturer in Great Britain, particularly in Scotland. An Ohio man has bequeathed $l0,000 to distribute tracts setting forth the injurious qualities of lager beer. A society for the enforcement of the civil damage law is to be formed in Buffalo The validity of the law having been settled by the court of appeals, this or ganization will prosecute, free of ex- pense, the cases of drunkards' wives against liquor dealers.

The late Joseph Gillot, the steel-pen manufacturer, after he became rich, had a mania for collecting old Italian instru- ments, and, although he knew nothing whatever about music, he became the owner of over five hundred yiolins and violoncellos, large portion of which were made by the great artists of CremO- nia. After his death they were found lying in dusty heaps or thrust away in boxes

A painting that is greatly admired at Rome this season, "The Revels of Mas salina," has a strange history. The man who painted it lived in an attic and kept body and soul together on limited diet of bread and oniens. When it was done he gave it to another painter in pledge of $500, and finally killed himself in utter despair. Now that he is dead, his pie lures are selling. The artist to whom " "Massalina" was pledged also killed himself

Useful Hints.

The vitality of seeds may be tested by placing a sample of almost any of the larger kind of seeds or grains upon hot pan or griddle. When the seeds are good and the Vitality is perfect the specimen will crack or pop open with more or less noise; on the other hand, if the seed is not good or the vitality is defective, it will remain still and burn. This Is n much quicker and surer plan of testing seed than to plant in earth or warm water To test them in this way it is not necessary that the seed be perfectly dry, although they should not be too moist Seeds should not be kept too dry. an airy but moderately dry quarter gar ret is the best place to keep them.

TIMELY TOPICS.

The plea of several Western settlers, who have been writing to the bureau of emigration at Castle Garden, New Y York city, for wives has been answered. The superintendent has received letters from three or four young women, who are anxious to ally their destinies with the Western Benedicts, and it is just possible that they may light the torch of Hymen.

The Emperor Napoleon IT., during his visit to England, contrived to win the warm friendship of the queen and Prince Albert, which, in the case of the former, has been extended to his widow and son. The young Louis Napoleon, before departing for the Zulu war, called upon the queen to bid adieu, and, accord ing to a London paper, she received him with the greatest cordiality, thanking him in a trembling voice for the cour- agcous interest he evinced in her army and country. She seated him beside her on a sofa during the interview, and, as he rose to depart, she drew a ring from her hand, and placing it upon his finger, asked him to preserve it as a mark of her gratitude. The young man was visibly affected by the queens gift and words.
