VENUS OF ,rHE NEEDLE.

Oh, Maryanne. you pretty girl,
Intent on silky labor,
OF eeamstresses the pink and pearl,
Excuse peeping neighbor!
Those eyes, forever dropping, give
The long, brown lashes rarely;
But vioiets in the shadows live
For once unven them fairly.
Hast thou not lent that nounce enough
OF looks SO long and earnest?
Lo! here's moro Hpenetrabb stuff"
To which thou never turnest.
Ye graceful fingers, deftly sped
How slender and how Rimblel
On, might wind their skeins Of thread,
Or but pick up their thimb,el
How blest the youth whom, love shall bring,
And happy stars embolden,
no change the dome into ring,
The silver into golden
Who'll steal some morning to her side
To take her fingers measure,
While Margarine pretends to chtde,
And bushes deep with pleasure7
Who'll watch her sew her wedding gown.
We'll conscious that it is hers;
Who'll CLEAN tress without frown,
With these so-ready scissors7
Who'll taste those ripenings Of the South,
The fragrant and delicious
Don't put tho pins into your mouth,
Oh, Maryanne, my precious!
almost wish it were my trust
To teach how shocking that is; h
wish had not, as must,
TO quit this tempting lattice.
Sure aim takes Cupid, 1uttering foe,
Across street 80 narrow
A thread Of silk to bend his bow,
A needle for his arrowI

Men Of Millions.

In the Treasury Department, writes .
correspondent at Washington, there is
an interesting set of books printed and
bound, and each one about the size Of
Webster's Dictionary. But they are not
open to public inspection. These books
contain the name and residence Of every
holder of registered 4per-cent. bonds in
the United States. The amounts range
from $50, which is the smallest, up to
ISL, 600, 900, which is the largest sum
owned by one person. This latter sum
isowned by w. b. Vanderbilt, and upon it
hedraws $50, 900 in interest every ninety
days. A check for that amount is mailed
to him quarterly. At the same time the
owner Of $50 bond receives so cents.
These bonds are very popular, and, al
though the original holders Of them paid
but par on q little share, since which
time the bonds have advanced to about
- per cent. premium, yet the books Of
the company show but comparatively
few transfers. The premium is not suf-
fcient temptation to cause the average
holder to part with his securities. For
instance, the bonds owned by Wander
bilt are now worth about $58, 600, 600,
but he holds on to them all the same.
W. Fl. Vanderbilt individually owns
more registered United States bonds
than are owned in all the nineteen West
ern States and Territories. These States
and Territories have a population OF
over 20, 000, 900, yet there is held among
them but $$49, 600, 600 Of registered bonds,
or less than Mr.. Vanderbilt owns. In
the fourteen Southern States $12, coo, 900
are owned, or about one-fourth the
amount held by single citizen i'll New
York.
A prominent treasury official, in
speaking of the inequalities Of fortune
as illustrated by these figures, said that
he thought it would eventually cause
discomfort. A man with the enormous
wealth now possessed by MI. Vanderbilt
could add to it very rapidly; in fact, il
will double itself in twenty years if put
into per cents. and let alone save oadc
the annual interest. With the present
start" which Mr.. Vanderbilt has II
bonds and dividend-paying stocks, il
| will be an easy matter for him to b.
worth $3.50, 0OO, 900 should he live twenty
years hence. It is said that he is worth
more than half this sum now.
Outside the Vanderbilt family there i
no single individual who owns owe
ST., 1000, 900 OF registered bonds. Thos.
who own 81, 100000 are not numerous
Quite a number, several hundred il
fact, in different portions of the country
have over 100000. This is regarded a
nice plum, and the man who has tugge'
i, long time to get the round 500, 00
can we'll afford to take rest, and dray
II 900 in interest every ninety days. b
enjoys it almost as much as the man who
by daily labor and application, earns a.
equal income.

Tremendous Size.
MONTREAL, May ga st. Johns, N. F.,
special says the season of marine disasters
through collision with ice foes in the North
Atlantic has already commenced. The large
English iron steamship Ranzani has just had
a narrow escape from total destruction
through collision with an ice foe forty
miles southeast of Gull Island, off Cape
John. Her bow was stove in, and forward
compartment filed with water Had she
struck abaft the forward compartment all
hands must have gone down almost instan-
taneously. She had full cargo of copper
ore Through strenuous efforts the officers
and crew of the ship got safely into Betto
Cove. The ice pack is now travelling south
ward and one of the heaviest that ever
passed the shores of Newfoundland, and
from the average rate of its southern drift it
must within few days intercept the track
of all ocean steamers running between Great
Britain and the several ports of the United
States. The countless icebergs are of huge
unwonted size. During the past two days
several of these tremendous arctic monsters
have passed within sight of the highlands of
st. Johns, one of which was not less than
two thousand feet in length and five hundred
.eet in height.
