The Fisherman's DaugnseE'
nv nrwroN aERRYHILL.

On a ragged cliff of granite gray
Tha. beetled DER the water, ~
Was perched, that eve in early May
The fshernan's fair daugnter.
On her lily hand her cheek ola resi-
Her cheek that matched the daintlest pun
OF oceans fairest shell.
On shoulders white and swelling breast
Her hair disheveled fell
In ripping golden curls;
And her bare feet hanging Ger tne Dr'iiA
In the moonlight shone like pearls.
/ watched her from nay boat that lay
In the cliffs black shadow hiding.
At anchor down the little bay
Nv good ship then was riding
NV ship with richest treasures lade
From distant India's coral shore,
By calm near home held fast.
AS fell the twilight's purple shade,
When the long still day was past,
the cherries ship forsook,
Steered Ger the bay with languid oar,
And found this quiet nook.
So fair sight was ne'er before
Implctured on my vision:
| 1t seemed glimpse through an open oooi
Into the realms elysian.
| | saw the maid in a boudoir fair
| Its tapestry silver cloud,
A cleaning rising star
Became jewel in her hair.
A., thus gazed afar,
And gazing loved, there rung
| Across the water, clear and loud,
| A CHEEKY voice that sung:

DIR. Norman Kerr, a distinguished
English physician, referring to the
death-rate from alcoholism, says:
"Dr. Richardson gave it as his
opinion, some time ago, that swere
England converted to temperance,
the vitality of the nation would be
increased one-third in value; but,
after carful investigation, DR.. Kerr
thinks it is much nearer the truth
than many were supposed to believe

THE MAIpEN's RESPONSE.

THE MAIDEN'S RESPONSE.
Fair virgins to my song take heed,
And shun the tolls of Robin Reed.
For he's a gay deceiver.
Wo to the maiden who accords
And becomes fond believer!
Heed not his vow,
Though his knee he bow,
And swear it though he may.
To day, tits spoken
Tomorrow, broken
And the fitful Rob's away.
On budding bough no mateless dove,
In early Spring, e'er filled the grove
With gentler, softer cooling,
Than Robin pours into the ear
Of the silly maid that deigns to hear,
When he goes abroad a-wooing.
But heed him not;
1t is soon forgot
The faithless vow he makes:
For writ in sand
With traitor hand
Is the oath a lover takes.
He's like the moth-the painted thing
That flies all day on downy wing
Now hither and now thither-
And sips and kisses every flower
That opes its bosom in the bower,
And leaves it there to wither.
So maids, take heed!
Shun this Robin Reed:
Your kisses he will take,
Then skip away
With false heart gay,
And leave your hearts to break.

The following letter from an active
Patron in Union county, Ark, who
has sent us quite a number of sub
scribers during the past year, shows
how easy it is for members of the
order to increase the circulation of
The PATRON. If each subscriber
would consider that his Individual
and class interests would be directly
benefited by the wide circulation of
his Grange paper, he would surely
exert himself to induce his neigh
bors to subscribe. The subscribers
of The PATRON, with little effort,
could increase its circulation $1,000
within thirty days, and we are fully
prepared, with our splendid facili-
ties, to meet the-demands of such
circulation:
Editor Patron: Enclosed find 81, for
which send The PATRON TO Mr.. Tehu
hing. He is not a member of our Order,
out let him have lot of my papers to
read, and he returned them with this dollar
and the request to send on for THE Pa
IRON for him as quick as could. | will
send you good club soon. Our Grange
is now booming" Crop prospects good.

Then knew it was a stolen tryst
Of the boatnan and the maiden
l would have given, to be SO blest,
My ship with treasures laden!-
| saw her look of eager Joy,
AS swift he scaled the rugged steep
And saw hfm-O, hell!
Twas not smooth-faced ruddy boy,
That on my vision fell,
But grim gigantic man,
With face SO coarse my flesh did creep
As his form did scan.
On his brawny breast her fair head fell;
His huge arms clasped my maiden
How soon was changed to reddest hell
What late I deemed an Aideni
saw him grasp her taper hands,
And kiss her lips so warm and red,
And then each cheek so fair,
And his fingers rough toy with the strands
OF her ripping golden hair.
Then on the brink they safe,
Until the moon was overhead,
And my soul was sick with hate
They kissed good -bye-A dreadful though,
Into my brain came crashing
When down the bay l saw boat,
And heard the paddles plashing.-
1t whose looks upon a man
To hate him with deadly hate,
Murders him in his heart,
Then / am under Heavens ban
AS was old Cain. I start,
As recall that time!-
How near my soul approached the gate
Of earth's most awful crime
Uneasy at my absence long.
Three of the crew had sought me.
The paddles piled by muscles strong
Soon to my good ship brought me-
Fhe winds, at last, had broke their sleep.
And now with swellings sails made sport.
The anchor weighed, we soon
Were speeding, bounding Ger the deep.
The isle, as set the moon,
Was on her disk outlined.
| brought my treasures safe to port,
But left my heart behind!

AS it floated DER the water blue,
The song grew louder-clearer;
And by the FLASHING oars | knew
The boat was coming nearer.
Quick sprung the maiden to her feet,
And waving thrice her hand snowwhite
To the boatman's song replied
No nightingale e'er sung SO sweet
In an April eventide,
When twilight fingered long,
Nor soaring lark, that glints the light
AS it fills the sky with song

THE BoATMAN's SONG.

Love, the fisherman, spreads his net
By the light of illus eyes:
Foolish SWANS, why will We swim
Where the hidden danger lies?
SWANS, beware!
Swim not there,
Or else you'll rue it:
In the net
That love doth set,
None can undo it.
Love, the fowler, sets his gin
In the sheen of illus hair:
Let the silly SWANS take heed
Let them shun the subtitle snare.
SWANS, beware!
Fly not there,
Or else you'll rue it:
Fast caught in
The cunning gin,
None can undo it.
Love, the wrecker, lights his fires
With the CLEAN of illus smiles:
False the beacons!-swains, beware!
Shun the treacherous wrecker's wiles.
SWANS, beware!
Steer not there;
For if you do it,
Wrecked and lost
On a rock bound coast,
Too late you'll rue it.

Marriage in Albania.

Albanian marriage arrangements are
very peculiar. When a damsel arrives
at a marriageable age, her parents
publish the fact among their friends
and acquaintance. Should no sutton
come forward, It rests with her broth
ers to find one. A brother thus cir
cumstanced will sometimes come up
to a male friend in the street and make
the complimentary proposal then and
there. " You are just the man | want
ed to see"-thus goes the abrupt for
mula on these occasions" my sister
is now fourteen years old: you must
marry her" As etiquette forbids a
plump refusal, the gentleman thus
honored gives sort of halfacquies-
cenee, and then hurries off to instruct
some old lady to act as go-betwoen.
Should he be satisfied with the report
made, after due inquiry, by this adyi-
ser, the wedding is arranged; but not
until the very last moment is the eX-
pectant bridegroom allowed to see his
future spouse, and then it would be
contrary to the prescriptions of society
for him to draw back, however UMPIRE
possessing she might prove TO be. After
llic performance VI lllS CGIihOliN,
very curious piece of etiquette comes
into play, Among Asiatics and I'M
civilized people generally, it is the rule
for the bride-elect to feign coynesS; hut
among the Arnauts the bridegroom has
to make this pretence. After the mar
riage-feast is over, and the newly-made
wife has withdrew, her husband fingers
behind; and not until he has been sub
jected to variety of rough usage by
her relatives, are the prescriptions Of
etiquette considered to be sufficiently
complied with to admit of his follow
ing the lady.

The Wrong Direction.
New Orleans Picavupc.

About a year ago the Picayune pub
| lished the fact that one of the clerks in
the postoffice in this city discovered a
letter unsealed in which was over $780,
900 in United States bonds. Yesterday
a letter was returned from the dead
letter office, addressed TO Postmaster
Mcmillan, that had gone to England
via. New York, returned to America
via Boston, forwarded from there to
| the dead-letter office, and returned to
| New Orleans, with nearly $4,000 OF
drafts IN it. The letter" or, rather,
package, for although the contents
were inclosed in a large envelope, it
must have weighed two, or three ounces
was posted Oct. s, properly stamped
placed i'll the through mail pouch for
New York city and according to the
postmark, reached there all right Oct.
y. The first mail steamer from that
port to England must have carried the
valuable papers across the Atlantic, as
the English postmark is next observed
upon it. The return mail steamer for
United States, via Boston, however,
brings it back, and the Boston post
mark records the Sth of November as
the day upon which it entered the
pOstOffice there. The next official
notice of the whereabouts of the pack
age is its entry in the dead-letter office,
where the envelope bears the impress
NOV. 49," From thence it was retnrn-
ed to the postmaster at New Oaleans,
to be transmitted to the parties from
whom it came more than month and
a half ago.
These parties and those for whom it
was intended to be addressed had made
considerable inquiry and no little stir
in postoffice circles about the prolonged
absence and the supposed final disap-
pearance of the package. The post
office officials of this city were more
perturbed than all the others put to-
gether, as the abstraction of the valu-
able letter-for appearance certainly
looked very ugly-pointed directly to
New Orleans, as it was very evident
the package could never have been
placed in the through New York city
pouch, or it must have reached there
there being no record Of any New York
pouches having been open or tempered
with while en- route during this time.
The members of the firm in this city
WIZ SClle IHt pdChaSe Cdlleu IcpedIed-
ly Mt the postoffice, where secret con-
s,ltations were held from time to time
Were the firm quite certain that the
letter was properly directed?" the post
master asked, and the members Of the
firm replied that they were quite posi-
tive, as they had seen the address, and
twas correct. And the valuable pack
age, as it returned from the dead-letter
office, after month and halfs alb
sence, was shown to the representative
of the Pioayune yesterday when the
mystery was explained in the address,
which was to G. New York, Eng
land.

The Poor of Chicago.
Chicago Times.)


The Illinois Humane society is scarce
ly able to cope with the amount of
work upon its hands, and its recent
appeal for help should meet with a
ready response. In the full enjoyment
Of good times, the generality of people
can scare ely comprehend the amount
of poverty, suffering, and restitution
really existing IN Chicago. The ter
rible condition of little children, at the
mercy of depraved and drunken par
ents, must be seen to be really under
stood. The police never trouble them
selves about such cases, and the officers
ofthe Humane society are not numer-
Gus enough to attend to all.
The records of the police courts dur
ing the past two months, contain in
Vulnerable instances of the intense suf-
fering of destitute and neglected chill
dren. A Times reporter accompanied
an officer of the society to little frame
shanty at No. Al Norton street. Nor
ton street is an alley. In every one of
its dirty tenements crime and poverty
liedown together and spawn rather than
bring forth children. Ingerson would
call it raising kindling wood for
h-ll." from such nurseries the
bridewell gets its most disreputable in
mates. On entering the filthy den in
question, sickening scene greeted the
officer and reporter. There was no
such thing as furniture in the room. a
mattress was in one corner, partially
covered with heap of rags. And
am ong the rags was a baby. Crying
was chronic with the young5ter,
and it kept up the most dismal
wailing without any apparent
effort. The cold air blew through the
open window, and little girl of three
years seemed to be getting the benefit
of it. In what might be called stove
some ashes smoldered. A boy crouch
ed up to it, warmed his bare feet, and
looked like a dirty Cinderella of the
wrong sex. What in hi do you
want?' he asked, as the intruders enter
ed. But the question was overruled.
The most disgusting sight in the apart
ment was at the same time the most
prominent. Half naked, and stretched

Mr.. WATHERsoN, IN eminent Lon
don jeweler, gave al interesting lecture
lately on gems and precious stones.
He said that with the exception Of the
diamond in the glass cutters hand, they
are intrinsically worthless, their high
estimation in olden times having been
due to their use as magical charms
against evil while in latter times they
have been priced as concentrated ex-
pressions of wealth and splendor He
said that the Braganza, belonging to
the crown of Portugal and still III the
rough, is the largest diamond. Ii weighs
LES pounds, and the Koh-i-noor, before
being cut, weighed 7S7 carats. There are
cruel allegations against the Braganza,
to the effect that it is only a white top
az. In this case diamond belonging
to the rajah ofMatan comes to the top.
A governor of Batavia offered s., 500,-
600 for it, and the rajah refused the
offer, saying his diamond was tails
man upon whose poss ession depended
not only his own happiness and success
but that of his whole family. OF rubies
scarcely more than two can be deemed
historical. The first and most famous
is that in Victoria's cross. 1t is believ-
ed, on tolerably good authority, to
have been worn in front of the helmet
of Henry Y. at Agincourt.
