AT THE STILE.

The leaves are growing ruddy as the Gun begins t

The bird, are twitt'iins forth their evening song
Little Lucy sits expvctant with her finger at her lip
What makes her sister Alice stay 80 lopg1
There are butterflies and dragon ies all ready to b,
chased.
There daisy chains to weave there are blackberrie,
TO tarte;
Why not play about the meadows for while1
Why linger, nnger, linger at the stile
Impatient little Lucy is simple witted mite,
Her sweetheart days future joys ii. clear,
Why shouldHarry keep his arm around her sisters

Whr make her blush by whispering in her ear1
The sun will sooh be setting-Lucy does not love the

park:
Since he met her Alice might have walked mile
Why iinger. linger, linger at the stilea
This dialogue small Lucy, which seems tedious as

For ii means that she and Harry have this evening
vowrd to marry;
1t means cake, lace, veil and wedding ring.
And when little bridesmaid. uncommonly like you,

Why they lineerd, lingerd, fingered at the stile.

The wonders which the camera have
wrought in the service of science and IN
dustry are far greater, In point Of general
interest and value. than its work as dc.
lineator Of human form or features. At
first the camera lsbored IN the field of per-
sonslity; afterward it entered the arena Of
ideas and became demonstrators Of truths |
Of high value. The astronomer measures |
his observations Of many celestial phenom-
ena upon the negative. The student OF |
medical science pursues his most intricate
examinations in pathology with the aid Of

vous and muscular tissues And descend
