A LEGEND.

There went widow woman from the out
skirts of the city,
Whose lonely sorrow might have moved the
stones she trod to pity.
She wandered weeping through the fields, by
God and man forsaken,
Sill calling on little child the reaper Death
had taken.
When 10! upon a day she met white-robed
train advancing,
And brightly on their golden heads their gold
en- crowns we're glancirg.
Child Jesus led happy band of little ones
Annoying,
With flowers of spring, and gems of dew, all
innocently playing.
Far from the rest, the widow sees, and flies to
clasp her treasure;
"What ais thee, darling, that thou must not
take with these thy pleasure?"
"oh, mother, little mother mine, behind the
rest l tarry,
For see, how heavy with yeur tears, the
pitcher l must carry.
"H you had ceased to weep for me when
Jesus went Annoying,
] should have been among the blest, with
little Jesus playing"

an UNHUNG PF0TURF.

Only a landscape, beautiful with the grace of
summers day, .
And bright with the glow of sunshine, over
the lawn at play.
An old house, sheltered and guarded by many
a stately tree,
Whose leaves with the summer breezes are
futtering merrily.
White daisies cover the greensward, and gold
en- battercups lie
Where clover blossoms are growing under the
azure sky.
There are bees in the fields and pastures, and
butterflies on the wing,
And many nest in the tree-tops, where bird
lings are learning to sing
There's meadow slope in the distance, where
cows are browsing all day,
And brook through ferns and wild grasses
merrily coursing it's way
Think not my picture was painted for silent
gallery walls,
Where only through guarded windows the
sunlight charity falls.
All, mol for stand in the doorway and breathe
the free, fragrant air,
And bark to the sweet sounds of nature while
viewing my picture so fair.
Its beauty can never be bounded by frame of
ebon or gold,
And the scenes so gladstone to look at never
grow weary or old
Thus cherish the beautiful picture which
Nature painted for me,
And my life will borrow the sunshine it scat
tiers so joyously.

Two Brave Little Girls.

A long time ago, in the Indian country,
two little girls slipped away from the
fort, and went down into hollow to
pick berries. 1t was Emmy, a girl of
seven years, and Bessie, her sister, not
yet six. a. 5e..tg. b aais,
All at once the sun flashed on some
thing bright, and Emmy knew that the
pretty painted things she had seen crawl
ing among the bushes must be hostile
Indians, with cleaning weapons in their
hands. She did not cry out, or in any
way let them know that she had seen
them. But she looked all about, saw
that some of the creeping Indians already
were between her and the fort, and went
on picking berries as before.
Soon she called aloud to Bessie, with
steady voice, "Don't you think it's going
to rain?" So they both turned, and
walked toward the fort. They reached
the tall grass, and suddenly Emmy
dropped to the ground, pulling down
Bessie, too.
"What are you looking for?" asked the
little sister, in surprise.
Then Emmy whispered to Bessie, and
both of them stole silently and quickly
on hands and knees through the long
grass until they came to the road, when
they started up, ran swiftly to the fort,
dashed through the entrance, and had the
gate closed behind them.
These girls are quite old now, but they
remember very well the day they saved
themselves, the fort which their father
commanded, and the soldiers, and the
other people in it besides.-St. Nicholas.

A WOmans Quick Wit.

The part of Tennessee through which
have been knocked about is full of re-
miniscences of the war, but there is none
its bitterness left. In war time the peo-
pie were greatly divided in their senti-
ments, and no man could tell 'tother from
which. This remark reminds me of 9
story heard yesterday, about an estima!!
BILE woman of seventy odd, who died two
or three years ago, here on the meun-
tains. One day, during the war, when
the country was fairly alive with guerril-
las, she had occasion to take some valua-
BILE goods with her on trip she was max
ing, and put them on horse back OF
her. When she had gone some distance
into the woods, she heard squad OF
guerrillas approaching, and knowing her
goods would not be safe for a moment,
she straddled her horse, mani fashion. and
throwing her long skirt over the package
behind her, completely concealed it.
When the guerrillas rode up she was I'M
able to guess whether they belonged to
the North or to the South, their uniform
being no solution whatever. She deter
mined, if questioned, to play bluff game
with them, and she soon had chance to
exercise her wit.
"Hellol" called out one of the guerril-
las
sHello!' she returned.
"What side are you onY" he chal-
lenged
She laughed good laugh at him as she
replied, kicking out her feet: -
Son both sides, of course. Can't you
seer"
This brought roar from the whole
squad, and they began to banter her in
their own fashion.
(Which side is your old man on?'' one
Of them asked.
"He's on neither side," she laughed;
she's on his back, and has been for
years.
Such wit saved her and they let her
pass unmolested.
A colored voter of Mobile, relates a
Southern paper, was employed on election
day to take some kerosene oil to rail-
road depot for shipment. On his return
from the depot he was asked for the re-
ceipt Of the kerosene oil. Putting his
hand into his pocket, he pulled out an
election ticket. "This isn't the receipt"
exclaimed the merchant "Bress de
Lord, was the response, else done gone
and voted de kerosene oil ticket"

By the lake beyond the meadow
Where the lilies blow
AS the young moon dipped and drifted
Her reflected bow,
Lived and died dream of beauty
Many years age.
Something made the milk white blossoms
Even whittier grow;
Something gave the dying sunset
An intenser glow,
And enriched the cup of pleasure,
Filled to overflow.
Hope was frail and passion feeting,
1t was often SO;
Visions born of golden sunsets
With the sunsets go;
To have loved is to have suffered
Martyrdom below.
By the lake beyond the meadow
Where the lilies grow,
Oh! the glory there that persisted
None shall ever know,
Where human heart was broken.
Many years ago.
