TO A SPRING FLOWER.
By j. L. aERsEY.

Whence dost thou come? 1t was but yesterday
And the brown field was clad IN cheeress gloom,
And winter lingering hushed the jocund lay
OF early birds, and flowers forgot to bloom.
But now tits changed beauty is in the vale,
And meadows smile in thin-grown drapery;
The robins note Is heard; the balmy gale
Bursts the swoln buds on every forest tree.
And vet what magic touch has wrought this change?
The frost that scared thy leaves and dimmed thy
bloom
Has melted In the sunbeams; but how strange
That thou shoudst start life and burst thy TOMB.
IL it the breathing south wind that recalls
Thy wasted beauty, or springs morning beam;
Or song Of feathered choir, when evening falls;
Or the wild murmur of the gushing stream?
1t is no. thus with man; the wasting form
And fading blush of beauty may In vain
Court the wild breeze; the winters chilly storm
That freezes life yields not to spring again.
saw her droop, and, Ike lovely flower
Nipped by untmely frost, she sunk to rest
And mid December's SHOWS, when tempest blown,
They heaped the clods above her infant crest
And spring came back, and DER her little grave
The breeze of evening sighed, and the wild bird
Did carol DER 1t, and the grass did wave
In rich luxurance-but twas al unheard
The flower loved so true, 1t came no more;
And years have spread oblivion where twas laid
Yet shall 1t bloom upon happier shore,
Where an immortal spring shall never fade.

son awake and the dogs licking his
hands. But the king was no way re-
jolced at the appearance of his youngest
son.
"Moreover, said he, ~ see you are
back again, and appear to be willing to
be courted by the hounds. lido not pre-
sumo to say you have brought back great
treasures; but hope, inssmuch as your
brothers returned with vessels OF silver
and gold, your ship comes freighted
with diamonds. What would give
me Joy would be something that would
servel the land, for I am engaged
in bloody war. My adjoining foes have
me heavily oppressed, they having de-
stroyed many towns and castles. All
the oliver and gold that your brothers
brought has been spent in supporting my
army, aud that army has been sorely
broken up by many bloody battles. So
the next thing can see is that I shall be
dethsoned and driven from the land
"Such thing shall not happen, my
gracious king, sire and ruler" said the
youngest son.
"These affairs shall take turn! Let
us break through the encampment Of the
enemy without any troops"
''What!" said the king, and his two
older sons. "Shall we throw ourselves
into the jaws of the lion? You have in
indeed travelled by the equator and the
suns rays have turned your BRAIN"
81 will show you myself" SAID the
youngest son.
In the meantime a spy brought news
that the enemy's forces were tour times
as great as before and that they would
soon be upon them. The king and his
two sons stood weeping, but the younger
son babe them be quiet, and taking the
top off the lucky staff, ordered hundred
thousand warriors on horse back, and in
one hour the land was free from enemies,
being chased to their own country drench-
ing it with their blood. The king stood
amazed, and the prince spreading out his
little cloth, said:
"Now for a feast for one hundre d
thousand men. Let US have music with
our FEAST said the prince, taking the
violin.
The one hundred thousand men stood
in awe az they listened to the soul in
spring music of the prince. His two
brothers were beside themselves with joy
at what they heard.
The prince then said:
"Let us restore what the enemy has
| destroyed in the land and beautify it as
BEFORE"
Taking the ragged mantle of many
colors he threw it in the air, and 1mme-
diately beautiful castles, fine groves and
picturesque little lakes were to be seen
in the land. With the wishing cloth he
made 1t land ofplenty. With the wish
ing staff he raised 1t from land Of war,
and gained respect from its enemies, and
with his violin he raised the standard of
music, which had lately been sadly ne
elected. After a few days he set sail to
the barren island to claim the beautiful
maiden for his wife, "for,'' said he to
himself, I must keep my promise, for
she has kept hers
All! if all princes had such magic
wishes and would make such good use
of them! JULIA G. HOWE.

Society Information.
[American Queen.

Good breeding gives us certain definite
rules, and while these. are observed, so
cicty Is possible, else it disintegrates
But we may, without osing self-respeet
exercise vast self control, and not show
that we distrust people, nor that we vast
ly like them; we need not wear our hearts
on our sleeves tor DAVIS to peck at. Mem
bers Of the same family should never
quarrel in public. This is often done by
two sisters of uncertain tempers, and the
crowd laughs. The French have a prov
erb about .his,perhaps too well known to
be quoted.
Never show that you feel a slight.
This is worldly wise as well as Christian
for no one but mean person will put a
slight on another, and such person al
ways profoundly respects the person who
is unconscious OF his feeble spite. New
er resent publicly lack of courtesy; ii
is in the worst taste. Anything done
privately about dropping such an &C
ouaintance must be left to yourself.
To person of noble mind the contests
of society mnst even seem poor and fu-
rious as they think of these narrow en-
mites and low political maneuyers, but
we know that they exist and that we
must meet them. Temper, detraction
and small spite are as vulgar on Turkey
carpet and in palace as they could be
in tenement-house; nay, worse, for the
educated contestants know better. But
that they exist we know as well as we
know that the diphtheria RACES. We
must only reflect ph1losophically that it
takes all sorts of people to make world
that there are good people, rank and file !;
that there is valiant army and noble
navy; that there are also pirates who
will board the best ships, and trait
ors in every army, and that we must be
ready Tor them all; and that IT we live
in crowd we must propitiate that
crowd.
Never show fractions Or peremptory
irritapility IN small things. Be patient
if friend keeps you waiting. Do not
be fussy about your supposed rights
yield disputed point of precedence.
All society has to be made up of these
concessions; they are your unnumbered
friends in the long run.
We are not always wrong when we
quarrel; but if we meet our deadliest foe
st friends house we are bound to treat
him with civility. That is neutral
ground. And in all honesty, cultivate a
graceful salutation, not too familiar, in a
crowd. Do not kiss your friend in a
crowd; be grave and decorous always;
Burke said that manners are more i'm
portant than laws.
A salutation may have great deal Of
meaning in it. It may say, II respect
you, and I wish you we'll" It may say
81 hate you" In crowd 1t should sim-
ply say the first. The salutation of a
man to a woman can not be too respect
tul. The manners Of young women are
apt to be too careless. She should re-
member that when woman's salutation
ceases to be delicate, elegant and finish
ed she steps down from her throne and
throws away her scepter. There is no
salutatlon, however, more displeasing
than too efaorescent and fatterlng SUBJ
serviency. "He bows too low" should
never be said. Avoid being snob, in a
crowd.

The old saying, "Nine taylors make
a man," originated from the following
circumstance A number of years since,
in London, little boy was accustomed
to sell apples, cakes, etc., among the
various shops. At one place he visited
we're nine journeyman tailors, who, on
account Of the unusual brightness of the
boy, determined to educate him. Each
one contributed portion toward the
necessary expenses, and the boy eventu-
ally became noted individual. In this
sense nine tailors were said to have made

And although Mr.. Hubbard laughed,
he also began to be troubled.
The third baking-d day was one of gloom.
Solemnly, as funeral, the family assem-
bled to assist in the drawing.
Five loayes came out markless but one
renamed.
Mrs. Hubbard's hand trembled, but
she drew it forth. She turned softly
about. At last she exposed the lower
surface. On it were letters printed back
ward, plain enough to read this time, and
arranged thus:

so sudden''
And she tainted away in the arms OF
the most terrified of men and loving
husbands.
The children screamed the cat meWed
the dog barked; the oldest boy went for
the doctor. People focked in; the loaf
was examined. Yes, there was the warn
higher call to quit the world.
She lay in bed, bidding good-byeto he,
| family and friends, her strength going
very fast. She read her Bible and tried
not to grieve too much. The good doctor
shook his head, the clergyman prayed
with her. Nobody doubted but that her
end was at hand, tor people were very
superstitious in those days.
They had been up all night with the
doomed woman, and dawn was breaking,
and with it she knew she must 60, when
clatter1ng over the road and up to the
door came horse, and on the horse came
la man, who alighted. He ratified at the
knocker and rushed in. There was no
stopping him. Up the stairs he went to
the sick room and bolted into it.
Everybody stared at him as he took of
his hat.
"Parding," said he, breathlessly; IL
heard Mrs. Hubbard was a dying, and
she'd warnings on her bakings. I came
over to explain. You see, I was sexton
of the church here few years ago, and /
know all about 1t. You needn't die OF
fear just yet, Mrs Hubbard, for it is Meth

and we got used to the marks ourselves.
Crossbones and skulls VIC put up with,
and never thought of caring for the re-
surgam. So you see how it is, and am
sorry you've been scared"
Nobody said a word. The minister
shut his book. The doctor walked to the
window. There was a deadly silence.
Mrs. Hubbard sat up in bed.
"William!' said she to her husband,
"the first thing you do, get a new bottom
to that even."
And the tone assured the assemblage
of anxious friends that Mrs. Hubbard was
not going to die yet"
Indeed, she came down the next day
And when the oven had been reconstruct

invitations for a large tea-drinking-oH
which occasion the loaves came out all

The prince then stood musing. "All
men have not the same gifts. I am an
artist as cook. You may be guest at
my feast"
"Whereg'' asked the violinist.
"Right in this place." said the prince,
spreading his magic cloth out, saying
'Be spread, my little cloth, for two ar
fists, with rare dishes and the best of
wine"
Both toasted, the viol1dist drinking the
health of the prince with his OVERLOOKING
glass of champagne, and raising his voice
cried:
"Cook, you are indeed one of the gods.
You shall be my brother"
The prince laughed and said: 81 can
have feast whenever I wish it."
"Alwaysa" said the prayer. "say,
brother, let us exchange. You give me
your little wishing cloth and I II give you
my violin" They then exchanged, and
the vlolinist went on his way rejoicing.
But as ne was sleeping one day the prince
sent for his wishing cloth.
