TWO LOVERS.
Two lovers by = moss grown spring
They leaned soft cheeks together there.
Mingled the dark and sunny hair,
And heard the wooing thrushes sing,
o, budding time!
o, loves blsst prime!
Two welded from the portal stept-
The bells made happy carollings,
The air was soft a. tanning wings,
White petals on the pathway slept.
o. O.pure-eyed bridei
f. o, tender pride!
Two faces DER cradle bent
Two hands above the head were locked:
These pressed each other while they rocked
Those watched life that love had sent.
u, solemn hour! 80.
o, hidden power!
Two parants BY the evening fire.
The red light fell about their knees.
On heads that rose by slow degrees,
Like buds upon the lily spire
o. patient lifei
o, tender strife!
The two still sat together there,
The red light shone about their knees;
But all the heads, by slew degrees,
Had gone and left that lonely pair.
o, voyage fast!
o, vanished past!
The I'd light shons upon the floor,
And made the space between them wide.
They drew their chairs up side by side,
Their pale cheeks Joined, and said "Once morsv
o, memoirs!
o. past that is!

WORDS OF WIsDoM.-Language Is a
revealer of character, and that which q
man would conceal by his acts and
manner he cannot hide in his words.
They who are weary of life, and yet
are most unwilling to die, are such that
have lived to no purpOse-who have
rather breathed than lived.
Do all that lies in your power to add
to the happiness of your friends to-day.
Even though 1t be but little. neglect 1t
not. Do not wait until next month, or
next week.
Very few men know how to keep 81
lent. The Italians have q proverb,
"Hear, see, and say nothing If you wish
to live in peace" The man who Is bent
ON telling all he knows generally ends
by telling more than he knows.
If to do were as easy as to know what
were good to do, chapels had been
churches and poor mems cottages
princes palaces. 1t Is q good divine
chat follows his own instructions. ]
can easier teach twenty what were good
to be done, than be one of the twenty tC

You are q good boy said the ruler
very kindly; your filial love is worth
more than the costliest gem of all my
jewels. What your father loses by your
crook and spinning wheel for books, I

The boy was almost beside himself
for joy. With deep gratitude he kissed
the sovereign's hands, and ran away to
tell the good news to his father. 4
Soon after father and son came, and
could scarcely express their gratitude
for joyful tears.
The counsellor could, for emotion,
also relate no further. He also had tears
in his eyes and was silent. Dearest

ruler faithfully, always told him the
truth, and was great blessing to the |

HISTORY OF THE T0MATO.-A good
many years ago man who had recent.
ly arrived from the Bermuda Islands
was sent to York county, Pa, jail for
some offence. He had with him Q few
seeds. which he planted in the rich soil
OF the Jail yard. Before the plants
which lsprang from the seed reached
maturity he was discharged, and no
one knew the name or nature Of them.
They grew luxuriantly, bearing fruit of
large size and unusual appearance. AS
this strange fruit ripened, its color
changed from green to q brilliant red
and became an object of wonder and

just when the fruit was fully matur-
ed, the Bermuda prisoner revisited the
Jail and asked o see the plant. The
request was granted, he called for pepper.

the lady keeper commenced to eat of the

tomatoes were carefully preserved and

HI GIRL WITH rHE CALICO DRrss.

A lg for your fashionable girls,
With their velvets and satins and laces,
Their diamonds and rubies and pearls,
And their millinery figures and fhcss,
They may shine ut party or ball,
Emblazoned with half they possess;
But give me, in place of them all.
My girl with calico df6ss.
Your dandies and foplings may sneer
At her simple and modest attire;
But the charms she permits to appear
Would set whole icsberg on fre.
She can dance, but she never allows
The hugging, the squeeze. and caress.
She is saving all these for her spouse
My girl with the calico dress.
She Is a. plump as partridge, and fAir

Her teeth will with ivory compare,
And her breath with the clover perfume

To comfort. enliven. and bless,
She IL just the right kind Of wife,
II my girl with the calico dress.

Asking God his soul to keep.
Then in tender love weep,
Then know hold too cheap,

John C. Calhoun as a Prophet.
From the Lexington (va) Gazettel


Mr.. EDITOR II send yon, as show
ing the extraordinary foresight of John
G. Calhoun, an extract from An address
of the Southern delegates in Congress
to their constituents. This address
was written by Mr.. Calhoun in 1s49.
(see the "Work of Calhoun" vol. vi.
page $40 and 31D:

cumstances under which emancipation
would take place with US. fit ever
should be effected, it will be through
the agency of the Federal Government,
controlled by the dominant power OF
the Northern States of the confedercy.
against the resistance and struggle OF
the Southern. It can then only be effect
ed by the prostration of the white race ;
and that would necessarily engendei
the bitterest feelings of hostility be-
tween them and the North. But the
reverse would be the case between the
blacks of the South and the people of
the North. Owing their emancipation
to them, they would regard them as
friends, guardians and patrons, and
centre, accordingly, all their sympathy
in them. The people of the North
would not fail to reciprooate. and to
favor them, instead of the whites. I'm
der the influence of such feelings. and
impelled by fanaticlsm and love of
power, they would not stop at emanci-
patton. Another step would be taken
to raise them to political and social
equality with their former owners-by
giving them the right of voting and
holding public offices under the Federal
Government. We see the first step
toward it in the bill already alluded to ;
to vest the free blacks and the slaves,
with the right to vote on the question
of emancipation in this district. But
when once raised to an equality, they
would become the fast political asso-
ciates of the North, acting and voting
with them on all questions, and by
this political union between them,
holding the white race of the South in
in complete subJection. The blacks and
the profligate whites that might unite
with them would become the principal
recipients of federal offices and patron
age, and would, in consequence, be
raised above the whites of the South in
the political and social SCALE"

Yesterday took place the announced
cleara nee among the tigers belonging to
his Highness the Sultan, in order to
make room for fresh supply when the
new tiger pens will be built At about
10 am. the Sultan. the resident military
CONN., ander, assistant resident and other
spectators appear behind the Kraton
and seated themselves in grand stand
constructed for the purpose. Thousands
Of Javaneee docked TO the spot to -
the oomba*s. Soon Q 6eht hstvOen .
royal tiger and Q buffalo together in .
pan was commenced. The tiger vas
several times tossed into the air and
then gored to death BY the buffalo, which
had been made as furious g possible
by peppered water, burning nettlee and
red-hot iron bars- This combat lasted
fully two hours. Afterwards began the
rampoken or tiger fight. On the plain
alongside the Krat0n stood Javaneee
armed with stout spears fifteen TO eigh-
teen feet long, drawn up in rows, one
behind tho other, forming altogether
An extraordinarily large square. The
two foremost rows lay kneellng, the two
hindm0st stood erect. In the center OF
this open space were thirteen straw
rooted wooden pens. in each OF which
was a tiger. At . given signal mu-
sical instrument called the Ramelan be-
gins playing a martial air 70 slow meas
ure. Three tiger-keepers then step out
of the ranks and approach the cage.
Two of them bear each burning torch
with which they set fire to the straw.
The tiger. frightened by the shower of
sparks, is then forced out into the open
space, but knows not whittier to turn.
Il bounds around and seeks whether it
can find an outlet, until it endeavors
either by desperate spring to get away
over the human wall which keeps it en-
closed or tries to creep through under
meath. But it falls pierced by the many
spears which have struck it. It utters
a savage cry, which is drowned by the
applause and shouts of the multitude.
In silent agony it strikes around furi-
Ously with its mighty paws. The shafts
of the spears often break like glass. In
such CAGES a single blow might cost the
life of any unfortunate within reach of
its claws. 1t is afterwards killed in due
form. This scene took place in the
same way thirteen times successfully
with as many tigers, the festivity clos
ing at pm. Only few accidents &C.
Cured. One soldier BY i'll luck received
q spear thrust while combating with q
tiger and was severely wounded In the
leg. A native received bite when one
of the tigers broke through the square
