Miscellany.


II ia not solely when the sunbeams oil
with grateful warmth the vegetating earth
when all day long the foathered songsters trill
In choral notes their roundelays Of mirth
II is lot only when the south wind roves
Beneath an azure dome Of heckless skies,
And wakes sweet numbers in the leafy groves,
That things seem beautiful to mortal eyes.
For oftentlmes we like those days the best
when sombre clouds obscure the armament;
Their very shadows bring sense Of rest,
The garish splendors Of bright days prevent;
The raindrops falling by the window seem,
Az one by one they cleave the misty air,
To own that charm ascribed TO Bethes streaini
To make the heart forget awhile its care.
In days like these greener hue peryades
The grassy meadows and the leafy trees
The little flowers that grow in bosky glades
EXhale a sweeter perfume to the breeze;
The rounded blossoms burst their fragile sheath,
And haunt their varied colors on the plain,
While tasseled cornstalks bow their heads beneath
The benediction of the falling rain.
The cattle linger in their roomy stalls
with calm contentment In their placid eyes;
The house dog wanders through deserted halls
In vain attempts to shun pursuing flies;
The farmer doses by the window pane,
Nor takes his day Of relaxation i'll,
Because he knows, forsooth, the blessed rain
VIII work more increase than his toll or skill.
In dreamy idleness the afternoon
Mcrges its moments with the twilight hours;
The low wind pipes sopnrihc tune
Between the iuterludes Of passing showers;
We seek our couch, and through our dreamy brain
Fair Fancy weavcs her nolseless warp and woof,
while overhead the patter Of the rain
Sings lullAbies upon the shinged roof.
And when next day the birds awake to sing
The merry carols Of their matin mass,
Aud from the eastern skies the sunbeams fling
Their burning kisses on the trees and grass;
Bright globules shine upon the waving spears,
Clear crystals CLEAN among the dewy fronds,
Until the sunlit face Of earth appears
A fairy garden gemmed with diamonds.
The Pilot.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1880-07-23

master, however, surprised him just as he had
finished handsome copy Of his production,
and examining the poem in his pocket, an
nounced TO the poet that he would not set
him free until he could recite, without a mis-
take, the history of the first ten kings Of the
second race. But love worked miracle for
Bleuet. He did not recoil before this enor-
nous dose of royalty, and two hours after
ward knew his lesson by heart. He was Civ
en- his liberty, but it was eight o'clock in the
evening, and he wasminus his poem. When
he reached his sweetheart's apartments he
was informed by the governess that Mile
b, with the permission of the physicians
and to try her strength, had gone out car
riage riding
"Alone 2" demanded Bleuet.
'No; with her cousin, who called to give
her q birthday present !" And the governess
showed him fine orage-tree standing in the
salon.
IAN right" said Bleuet, that settles it !"
He went up to his room and an instant af-
terward re-appeared with a little box, which
he placed with his own hands on Mile B--'s
table. The young lady opened the box on
her return and found in it all sorts of love
tokens given by her TO the school-boy in the
halcyon days Of their passion.
Little Bleuet has brought back my gifts
and released mel" said She with laugh,
extending her hand TO her cousin. "He
amused me very much indeed"
Thus ended young Bleuet's first love affair,
in which he was, as all will admit, fearfully
imposed upon. As for Mile b, When
she had fully recovered she married her cous-
in. To day Blouet idolizes a superb star OF
beauty, but, after having visited her, he new.
er returns to his apartment without thought
fully regarding a pensum entirely in the
chirography of Mile B.

gentleman came to me and offered the use Of
his state-room, which gladly accepted and
went TO bed. We were given a drink of whis-
key, and had coffee and food sent to us. 1
did not see an officer of the Narragansett, or
hear an order given. OF course there was
great confusion and loud cries but, on the
whole, the majority of the passengers behav-
ed very well. On arriving in New York, the
gentleman who gave me his state-room took a
note up TO the store for me, and my office-boy
brought us some clothes twas past 2 o'clock
before we left the City Of New York, and up
to that time not soul from the Stonington
line had been near any Of u.s."
Mr.. Hanum felt little stiff and sore from
exposure, and so did his wife but otherwise
they felt no i'll effects. He says the experience
was terrible rs they Aoated on the raft, the
water full of people supporting themselves
on every conceivable object and crying for
help, while the light from the burning ship
lit up the waters and the foggy atmosphere.

The Progress OF "a Hundred Years.

One hundred and four years ago, when we
declared ourselves to be free and independ-
ent people, our population was less than three
millions. To-day, according to the estimate
of the superintendent of the census, 1t is 49,
600, 900. Boston was then but a small village,
and New England had but few scattering
schools and two colleges. The entire country
had but thirty seven newspapers, and the best of
them were not equal to the worst weeklies
printed day in the mushroom towns of the
Rocky Mountain region. In 1889 we had
but seventy-fvo post-offices, and the mails
were carried on horseback over 300 miles
of road, at an expense of $32, 600 per year.
To-day we have 33, 600 post ofiices-and new
ones are being established daily-and the
mails are carried over PCS, 600 miles of post
roads, at an annual expense of $29, 900, 000.
We have nearly quarter of a million miles
of telegraph wire. We have III, ,G29 school
houses, G3, ,O82 churches, 792 daily news
papers, and over 5000 periodicals af all
kinds. Our farms are valued at not less than
50, 2G2, SOB, SG1, our farming implements at
1896, S7S, 423, and our live stock at 81 ,525, :
27G, 457. Our farm products in a single year
have brought us 81, 447, 538, ,658, and in the
same time we have paid in farm wages, $40,
2SG, 2S5. Our crops are bountiful, and our
exports have reached nearly $i75, 900, 900 in
a twelve-month. Our manufactures are
prosperous. In cotton goods we challenge the
world. In one year our 9G0 mills turned out
cloth enough to encircle the earth twenty
times, If made into one piece, with still enough
left to make every human being suit OF
clothes, and furnish each with pieces for
patching.

Definition of the gout by Dumas "Put
your toe in a wise and squeeze it until you can
no longer endure the torture. That is rheu-
matism. Then give the handle one turn more
and that is the gout."
1t is said that the male wasp does not sting
But as male and female wasp wear the same
kind of polonaise, and look as much alike
as twins, the only way to distinguish their sex
is TO catch one. If it stings you, it is fe-
male; il not, it is a gentleman wasp"
