"Dandelion, Dandelion, comely and bright
What whispered the bee he turned IN his flight ~
He came for kiss Of my bright yellow hair,
To speed him away through the soft summer air."
"Dandelion, Dandeon, will he be true7
other flowers are fairer, and bees love to WOO
He promised, trusttd-will trust him for aye;
He viii come, fond and faithful, again by and by
She bathed every morn in the bouny May dew
Ihat her face might be fairer for him. tried and true
Alas he came not; the summer grew old,
Aud tarnished and few fell the locks that gold,
Till the school children passing would stop by the way
70 pity the waiting one, growing 80 gray;
And even the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. one
Told the Rose how the Dandelion's duty was done.
Then the Rose told the Lily and she spread the tale
TO the dropping Acacia that swung Ter the vale,
And she dropped a note to the Clover below,
Saying, "Surely the honey bee this ought to know"
He was busy, in sooth, where buckwheat was white,
Heapihg up honey riches from morning till night;
Not false to his love, only thinking each day
He would cease ON his abors and home again stray
Now when from the Glover he heard it at last,
With shame he remembered the summer had passed,
And left, all ungathe red, the blossom wealth there,
Speeding home as he might through the bloom-bur-
dened air
"Dandelion, Dandelion, where Is your faith?
Your locks they white for the bridal of death"
Hush soft, sweet and low a fairy-land drum,
She hears the low note Of the honey bce's hum;
Then soft low and sweet spends her last fceting
breath
Saying, Love, have trusted thee even till death "
Then, whirling aloft on the swift-rising breeze,
Went the shining white howor-soul up 20 the trees
Up, up in the sunshine like stars which astray
Would ask of the cloudlets their heavenward way;
Up out Of the sight Of the sOrrowing bee,
Who a requiem chants evermore steadily.

CAMRLs IN ARIzoNA.-Some two years ago
herd of camels was driven to Yuma county,
Arizona, with the intent to render them SER
yiceable in the Territory as beasts of burden.
As the expectation formed of them was not
realized, they were turned loose by their
owners to roam eastward along the Gila river
at their own ruminating will. They appear
to have enjoyed their liberty, and to have
profted by it, Not only have they thriyen
as though they had been in their native Afr-
ca, but they have bred literally, and seem to
have become domesticated 10 the region. 1t
is thought that the new generation of camels
will be thoroughly acolimated, and used to
the alkaline waters peculiar to that section.
The waterless desert of Sonora, to the south
and southeast of Yuma county, contains
vast deposits of salt, sulphur, borax and soda,

SToRTEs OF AN ELEPHANT. Some years ago
there was an elephant of uncommon size and
intelligence in the London Geological Gar
dens, who was the original hero of an Incl
dent which has since been related in differ
ent ways He was as well known TO the fire.
qucutcrs of the Gardens as the bcar-pit itself
and was n great favorite with children, to
whom he behaved with a geutleness that was
almost pathetic At word from his keeper
he would teuderly wrap his trunk around the
body of any child bold enough to make the
experiment and lift it gently TO his own
broad back, and was evidently delighted at
the trust rcposed in him. The nurse maids
and the babies always brought cakes for this
elephant, and sometimes gingerbread nuts,
of which he was particularly fond Among
his regular visitors was young man, who al
ways gave him bag of these nuts, and the
elephant soon learned to know his benefac-
tor. One day this young gentleman offered
to the elephant bag of nuts strongly sea-
soned with Cayenne pepper, and the big
beast unsuspectingly opened his mouth, drop
ped the nuts into it, and began to MUNICH
them up His throat was of course badly
burned, and he trumpeted aloud in his rage
and pain. Near him stood bucket, which
he picked up and handed to his keeper,
drained pailful after pailful while his tormen-
tor stood near laughing at the success of his
pitful trick. The keeper of the elephant,
who had been told of what had occurred
warned the young man to depart, but he re-
fused to go. Suddenly the elephant having
slaked his thirst, seized the bucket by its
handle and threw it with terrific force at the
head of the practical joker, and with so true
an aim that the missile missed its mark by a
few inches only. The pail was shivered to
atoms against a tree. Had it struck the man
it would have killed him instantly. The same
elephant-we tell the story as told 10y his
keeper-dropped an apple, which rolled into
the adjoining stable of a rhinoceros. BY in
serting his trunk between the bars of the par
titon between the two structures, he was
able to touch, but not to grasp the coveted
fruit. He made repeated efforts to obtain it,
but in vain, and at last apparently abandoned
the enterprise. Suddenly he again thrust his
trunk through the bars, and with a mighty
snort blew the apple violently against the op-
poste wall. On its rebound it came easily
within his reach and he ate it with every tolS-
en- of satisfaction. Whether his act was the
result of reason or chance our readers may
decide for themselves.

SWEDISH NAMEs.-Our Swedish immi-
grants are making strange work with our
ideas of genealogical records, and render
ing futile all attempts to trace the prog
ress of families from one generation to an
other. II seems that the common people in
Sweden do not continue the family name
from father TO children. Indeed they have
no family name. The name of the child gives
no ntimation whatever Of the surname of the
father. Thus, suppose man is named Peter
Ohlsou, his boy may receive the name of John
Peterson, and his grandson perhaps Peter
johnson, the surnamts being formed from
the given name Of the parent and thus being
changed with every generation. 1t will be
seen that this makes it impossible to trace
families. This custom does not prevail
among the higher classes in Sweden, but is
universal among the common people who
compose the greater portion of the immigrants
TO this country. Another practice, common
among the Swedcs in this country, makes the
tracing Of families still more complicated, in
fact impossible. II is a common practice of
our Swedish immigrants to change their
names on coming to this country. This is
some times done to make their names more
simple for English speaking people, and
sometimes from mere fancy or to please a
friend But the practice is almost universal,
and a considerable portion Of the names of
Swedes bear no resemblance Whatever 10 the
names they bore in Sweden. We met few
days since an intelligent Swede. On inquiry,
he said his fathers name in Sweden was Lars
johnson, but he was named Peter Larson,
and having had an intimate friend by the
name of Lundberger, he had adopted the
name of Lundberg as his family name, and is
now known as Peter Larson Lundberg. 1t is
to be hoped that the Swedes in this country
will speedily adopt our customs in this re-
spect, and that they will retain their original
Swedish family names, and not attempt to
change them into English names. The prac-
tice of translating names into English is not,
however, peculiar to the Swedes All our
foreign residents do it more or less The
names of Welcome" and Baker" common
among the French population, are transla-
tions of the French names "Bienvenu" and
"Boulanger." The Portuguese and Russians
often do not attempt to translate their names,
but take some common name, rs Smith, Viii
son or other Providence JOUTnaL
