First called thee his-or squire or hind?
Since thou in every wight that passes,
Dost nova friendly playmate find
Thy downcast glances, grave but cunning,
AS frlgid eyeIids rise and fall

Isiniantine coquetry all,
But far aheld thou hast not flown;
With moCks and threats, half lisped half spokel

or right good will thy simple token,
And thou must laugh and wrestle too

To make, as willy lovers do,
Thy after-kindness more engaging,
The wllding rose sweet as thyself,
And new-Cropt daisies are thy treasure;
I'd gladly part with worldly pelf
To taste again thy youthful pleasure.
But yet for all thy merry look,
Thy trlsks and wes, the time Is coming
When thou shall SIT in cherries nook

SIR WALTER NANNY AT HIS
FATHERS TOMB.
LRTITAA ELIZABETH MAcL LEAN,

"oh, show me the grave where my father Is laid,
Show his lowly grave to me-
hundred pieces Of broad red gold,
Old man, shall thy guerdon be-"
With rorch in hand, and barred head,
The old man lead the way
And cold and shrlll passd the midnight wind
Through his hair Of silvery grey
A stately knight toow'd his steps,
And his form was tall and proud;
And his step fell soft, and his helm was Off
And his head ON his bosom bow'd
Ihey passed through the cathedral aisles
Whose sculptur'd walls declare
Inc deeds OF many noble knight,
DE Manny's name was not there
They passd next low and humble church,
Scarce seen amid the gloom;
There was many grave, not even there
Had his father found tomb,
They travers'd bleak and barren heath,
TIL they come to a gloomy wood
Where the dark trees droopd, and the dark grass
grew,
AS curs'd with the sight of blood
There stood lorn and blasted tree,
AS heaven and earth were its foes,
ana oeheathw was piledup mound of stones
Where rude grey cross arose,
And lo!' said the ancient servtor,
It'll here thy father Is laid;
No Mass has bless'd the lowly grave,
Which his humblest follower made
II would have wanderd through every land
Where his gallant name was known
10 nave prayd mass for the soul of the dead,
And monumental stone
but knew thy father had son,
To whom the task would be dear;
Young knight, kept the warriors grave
For thee, and thou art here"
Sir Walter grasped the old mans hand,
But spoke he never word;--
So still 1t was that the fall OF tears
On his mailed vest was heard.
Oh, the heart has all too many tears;
But none are like those that wait
On the blighted love, the loneliness
Of they young orphans fate.
He called to mind when the knlghthood's badge
He knelt at Edwards throne,
How many stood by parents side
But he stood there alonel
Hethought how often his heart had plned,
When his was the victor's name,
Thrice desolate strangers now might give,
But could not share his fame.
Down he knelt In silent prayer
On the grave where his father slept;
And many thetears, aud bitter the thoughts
As the warrior his vigil kept
And he built a little chapel there
And bade the death. bell toll,
And prayers be said, and Mass be sung,
For the veal of the warriors soul,
Years pass'd, and ever Sir Walter was first
Where warllke deeds were done
But who would not look for the gallant knight
In the leal and loyal son?

RUSSIAN PROVERBS,

When sovereignty is divided, 1t is very soon
destroyed.
When the patriarch is starved, he steals like

Beware OF tanned wolf and reconciled

The robber does not always steal, but 1t is well

The rich man in battle shields his face, but the

closely and appeared to pass much Of his time
reading. When he went out 1t was the custom
Of some one connected with the inn to enter the
room to see whether the eccentric fellow was not
feeding himself. Not a trace of anything to eat
was ever found about him and during the week
he never entered the dining room. He appeared
TO be genial, Companionable sort Of man, and
one day he went to ride with the landlord, to
whom he said this was the way he had Of curing
himself when anything was the matter. During
his stay he was very quiet, scarcely making an
acquaintance outside Of the inn. At the end OF
the week he paid his bill, remarking that he
guessed he was well now and went away as
though nothing unusual had happened.

Drinking Ice Water.

There is no more doubt that drinking ice
water arrests digestion than there is that a
refrigerator would arrest perspiration. 1t
drives from the stomach its natural heat,
suspends the flow of gastric juice and shocks
and weakens the delicate organs with which
it comes in contact. An able writer on human
disease says: "Hsbitual ice water drinkers
are usually very habby about the region of
the stomach. They complain that their food
lies heavy on that patient organ. They taste
their dinner for hours after it is bolted. They
cultivate the use of stimulants to aid digestion.
If they are intelligent they read upon food
and what the psychologist has to say about it
how long it takes cabbage and pork and
beef and potatoes, and other meats and
esculents to go through the process of assim-
ilation. They roar at new bread, hot cakes
and fried meat, imagining these to have been
the cause of their maladies. Bat the ice
water goes down all the same, and finally,
friends are called in to take farewell look
at one whom mysterious Providence has
called to cline where, as far as is known,
ice water is not used. The number of i'm.
mortal beings who 60 hence, to return no
more, on account of an injudicious use of ice
water, can hardly be estimated"

Great as woman can be on great occasions
she can yet extract world of happiness
from little things. She should be INDUCED
in them. 1t is good policy, gentlemen, and
the cheapest luxury you can offer. shall
not be accused of Misrepresentation if / as
sert that nothing in theordinsry way more de-
lights a woman than q fine opportunity to
let herself be seen-and lorgnettes are a
great help. To be seen advantageously she
must be well dressed. Always remember
that There again should she be INDUCED.
/ sincerely believe that woman's bliss is never
more ecstatic (other things being reasonably
well with her) than when she finds herself
by gentleman's side in a crowded
theater, the well dressed cynosure
of thousand pairs of eyes. A
philosopher friend said to me the other day
that the basis of happiness is the pursuit of
happiness. No man can pursue it more
agreeably and proftably than by making his
wife full partner in the occupation; and
whether that lead them to the theater, TO q
cozy restaurant supper by way of change
from the home tea-table pleasures, or ten
cent ride on the river ferry of summers
evening, there is always profit.
One of the pleasantest Of the many pleas
ant memories on which l sometimes draw
for solitary enjoyment is of an aged couple
whom saw inspecting shop windows one
balmy afternoon long years ago. They were
obviously very happy in each other, and the
glee with which they pointed out the pretty
objects as they passed from window to win
dow was so unaffected, spontaneous and
childlike, and they were so unconscious of
observation that could not but regret
the necessity that called me away from the
contemplation of the charming picture. Ever
since. that day 1 have cultivated shop
windows; and in all my tours of that kind /
have had in spirit the company of that rare
old pair, who must have long since disap-
peared from world that was filled with sun
shine and fragrance for them. cherish the
fancy that wherever they went in life the
sunshine was brighter. the flowers were more
fragrant, and humanity was happier that
they, as was said of one great and good in
his day, lived, loved, labored and suffered
losses. / would had known them in their
home. What lesson and what benson
the knowledge might have beenl
