On velvet cushions all her Jewels bright;
Tho fiery diamond with Its golden light
The ruby tinted with It's royal hue,
And NATURES color, wrapped in snowy sheen
With opals, pearls, lay glittering far between
The sapphire with ifs deep and heavenly
blue.
Upon these flashing gems she looked with
pride
And In her youthful folly thought twas
meet
No love to crave with riches at her feet.
''Soft woOing gifts are vain TO me-" she cried;
"When brightest hues 50 MI my radiant
morn,
Each heart alike shall feel my cruel scorn,
For beauty's queen no honors can divide"
Thus crowned with youth, fair in hor royal
state,
She smiled when love Its fearless homage
paid,

said,

AS an advertisement Of the whale which
he was exhibiting, a st. Louis Snowman
last week sent man up in balloon with
quantity of handbills which he was to dis
tribute in his flight from the trapeze upon
which he sat. Everything went right un-
til the Gronaut was many hundred feet
above the earth, when suddenly everything
went wrong. The balloon began to fall
with great rapidity, to the horror ofthe
spectators and to the terror Of the eronaut,
who was seen to be desperately jumping
about among the ropes. His judgment did
not quite desert him, however, and when
the balloon was within few feet of the
housetops he sprang from the trapcze upon
the roof ola high building and threw his
arms around n chimney beside which he
alighted. He was not injured, and the
whale was undoubtedly well advertised.
