Black Eyed Susan.
By MICHAEL sCANLAN.
FL, susan was sailors bride,

Pr susan was 3 sailors bride,
Linked to the changes of the sea;
H. good ship rocked upon the tide,
Her White sails dati'ring IN the bretz,
Waile duty piped all hands on deck
Fo, this she wrp: upon hia brt asst,
BIZ rounded arms about his neck;
Their lips in farewell kisses pressed:
Live may combine, but fats will paIt-
Teak lip from lip aud heart from heart.
H. gazce into her large black eyes.
Where love was shroudcd in wild fears,
And hope seemed fading down the skies,
And sinking in q sea OF tears;
Yet did he speak of days to come,
Waen his brave ship should skim tue m air
And pleasant winds should bear MN home
To susan and delight again
he kissed her pale lips Ger and Ger,
Then left her weeping on the shore.
S..s saw the latest su nbeam fall
Upon those white sails--hop,'s last CLEAN
Then night dropped downward like pail,
And bliss seemed but vanished dream;
And from the cold hps of the sea
4 sigh arose which smote along
Fer spirits chords. "Ah thus" sighed sh
while love is hut passing song,
The airge Of life is ever sung,
Ever old and ever young"
How many times the slr.,g re turned

Yes still the old q .me randy burned.

And still those black eyes swept the sea

She felt his kisses on her lips
Alas, poor Sac. no homeward gales

All, Susan, such Is life; it opes
With sunlit sea and pleasant shsre,

They leave us aud como back NJ IN ore

Some two or three months ago, had boy
about two years old that had suffered or Il

face. caused by teething. The child was in
such misery that it would often be awakened
Oui Of sleep by the severe itching. He
would then scratch his head and face until
the blood ran from the scabs. We tried
everything we could find, but nothing
seemed to give any permanent relief until
we tried PHOSPHATE SOAP. Before we

Poetry has fallen into the hands of
p )etusters. We have elegant trihes
and beautiful form in many volumes OF
second-rate contemporary verse. There
never was time when the science of
poetry was understood until now. Our
critics can tell you with mathematical
certainty the number of poems ~ dis
tinguished from pieces OF verse every
well-known man has written. But we
are not producing any great poetry. and
none of the sublime. 1t is the age of
elegant poetic incentive, of exquisite
culture, but it is too dainty. We do
not rise much above poem to a shoe,
or an ode to ringlet, perfumed with
one of Rimmel's best admired distilla.
tions. We have few poets who are
continually trying to find out who or
what the deuce they are, and what they
meant by being born, and SO on; but
then these men are for the eclectic and
not the herd of sensible people. We
have three men who have done noble
work, Browning. Tsnnyson and Swim
burne; but, speaking broadly, we find
the sublime nowhere. 1t is true you
cannot force genius as you force aspar-
agus; and these remarks are not intend
ed to indict the age with having no
poetic faculty or aspiration. Album.

Come back, Bruno" shouted Uncle
Ed as the pretty black dog ran down
toward the water for a plung in the surf
Come back, sir; you are on duty. Here,
take care of these, and he threw down
his hat and coat on the sand.
Poor Bruno he gave long sigh that
said as plainly as any thing could, How
disappointed 1 am n but he sat right
down on the coat, and there he was when
we came back, two hours afterwards
No robins, or any thing larger even, had
carried off what he had been left in
charge of, and he had never left them,
not even for moment.
The children at grandpapa's house
had been down on the beach almost ever
since we had been gone, they told us, and
they, not knowing that Bruno was on
guard, had tried in every way to per-
suade him to come and play with them
had thrown sticks in the water, had
waded in themselves. Bruno only
1whined and wagged his tail. They
had tempted him with sandwiches and
chiehen-bones but he only barked very
loud, and staid right where he was.
Now do you wonder that | say and
think Bruno would make more trusty
little boy than mine, who let the robins
eat up the berries, and who never re-
members a promise two minutes after he
makes it ?"
No, mamma said Jamie, very
slowly, 81 don't; but 1 guess 1 can do
as well as dog if I try-dont you,
mamma ?"
"You will have to try very hard,
dear"
I'm going to, mamma. You'll see
you'll never say again that you can trust
Bruno better than your own little boy"

ran with the Newfoundland to Florence who

then gave him bath in whiskey, which hope

Of the late Bishop Ames the following
anecdote is releted: While presiding over
certain Conference in the West a mem
Der began trade against universities,
education, &C., and thanking God that he
had never been corrupted by contact
with a college. After proceeding thus
for few minutes the Bishop interrupted
him with the question, "Do understand
that the brother thanks God for his ig-
noranee?' "Well, yes" was the answer,
You can put it that way if you want to. +"
We'll, all ! have to say, said the Bishop,
in his sweet, musical tones, lis, that the
brother has great deal to thank God
for"
