Stroll with her where'er you please.
Let her arm your own be ringing,
Ringing it with pressure good!
And as thus TO you she's clinging,
Clnging in an earnest mood.
You'n be thinking, you aught.
''Autumns better than thought!'
Place your arm if she will let you.
When ye're climbing up "a hill,
Round her waist, and will bet you
That you'll feel pleasant thrill.
And the while be thinking. why.
Autumn suits me-autumns 'hlgh"
Should the maiden wish TO set her
Little. but now swollen. foot
On little stump, you let her,
Then unlace her little boot,
And, unless you're cold as ice.
You'll be thinking "Autumns nicer
When ye're sitting on a bowlder
For "A little needful rest,
Should the maiden lean her shoulder
Or her head against your breast,
You'Tl De much Inclined to shout
Autumn! best of seasons out!'

And I'm pretty sure you'll swear,

THE breaking Of the ice in the upper Poto-
mac at Harper's Ferry, Va, a few days ago,
was followed by the rushing of an increased
body of water over the frozen river at George
town, D. c., and Washington. This heavy
body of water soon broke up the ice into thou
sands OF huge cakes, that sped unanimously
down the river. Then the released waters rose
rapidly and in a short time the southern sec
ton of Washington was completely sub
merged. The water came as far north as
Pennsylvania avenue, the principal thor
oughfare causing great inconvenience and
damage to property. The ridge upon
which stands the Smithsonian institution, the
agricultural department and the bureau Of
engraving and printing was turned into an
island, the space between them and the main
portion of the city being several feet under
water. Horse-car travel in many instances had
to be stopped, the water coming up to the seats
of the cars and compelling the drivers to make
their escape on the backs of their horses, while
the passengers were taken to high ground in
rowboats. In one large hotel the guests were
taken away on the backs of stalrart colored
porters- About 200 feet OF the Long bridge were
swept away. In the evening the water subsidized,

5000 900 had been done.
