ROMANCE.
RY OLIVER WENDELL HoLMHs.

oh she WAS maid OF ofisughing eyes, i98
And she lived In garret cold and high,
And he was threadbare, whiskered beau,
And be lived In cellar damp and low.
But the rosy boy Of the cherub wing
Hath many shaft In his slender string,
And the youth below and the maid above
We're touched with the fiashisg darts Of love
And she would wake from her troubled sleep
Der his tender billet-dsux to weep;
Or stand like q statue cold and fair,
And gaze on lock Of his bright red hair.
And he who was late 60 tall and proud,
With his step 30 firm and his laugh 80 loud,
His beard grew long, and his face grew thin,
And he pined In solitude over his gin.
But one soft night In the month Of June,
AS she lay In the light Of cl0udless moon,
A voice came floating soft and clear,
To tho startled maiden's listening ear.
Oh then from her creaking crouch she
sprung,
And her tangled tresses back she flung,
She looked from her window far below,
And he stood beneath, her whiskered beau!
She did not start with foolish frown.
But packed her trunk and hurried down,
And there was her lover tall and true,
In his threadbare coat Of frightened blue.
The star that rose in the evening shade,
Looked sadly down on the weeping maid
The sun that camo In his morning pride,
Shed golden light DER laughing bride.

A Strange Cattle Disease.

The Hartford "Evening Post" says
that the owners Of thorough-breds and
grades in Pennington, Conn.,, discov-
cred a mysterious disease prevailing
among their herds, which, having prov
ed fatal in two or three cases, is ca'ls-
ing considerable alarm. The epidemic
thus far has shown itself exclusively
among the milk cows, appearing at
first with q serious lameness in the hind
legs. Gradually the disorder increases,
the animal meanwhile being reduced
to a skeleton. The disease, whatever
may be its cause or nature, battles all
treatment for its removal, and the ami
mails have to be killed to get them out
of their misery. The Secretary of the
State Board OF Agriculture, Mr.. T. 8.
Gold, of West Cornwall, has visited the
town, but has not been able to decide
