THE BIoYCAE BELL.

q, sweet are the sounds of waters, and sweet
The distant echoes of welcome feet.
The wild birds singing, the hum of bees.
The night winds rustic in summer trees;
But none, 20 my ear, i'm sweetness excel
The wee tink-tlnk of the bicycle belll
whenever hear ii, stand once moro,
At twilights fall by the garden door
The garden door, that shuts out from the street
An Enclosure tccming with odors sweet
List ming 20, why should blush to tellO
Tho first tink-tink of Il bicycle bell
1t ceases at length, whore knew IL would;
The door half Opes, and whore late L stood
Another stands; but he sees not me,
For am no longer there You see;
And would not, for he should know as well
1 had heard the sound of that bicycle bell
But soon together we walk or stand;
i feel IL again, that touch of the handl
hear the words shall ne'er forget;
My eyes are full, my checks are wet;
Again feel my bosom swell,
AS silently by hangs the bicycle bell.
Some years have gone, some sorrows have
come;
No longer each morning he leaves his home,
Or mt eve returns TO IL, mounted thus,
But soberly on an omnibus.
But every whit love IL as well,
Whenever hear IL, the bicycle bell.

The Alpena City Hospital.

The undersigned would announce
to the citizens of Alpena and vicinity,
that they have opened an Hospital
for the treatment Of all Surgical and
other diseases.
This new enterprise meets want
that has long been felt in this COM
munity, where large number of I'M
married men, sick or wounded, away
from home, will find all the comforts
of warm rooms, good, clean beds,
proper food, good nursing, careful
attention and skilful treatment Of ex-
perienced Physicians and Surgeons.
The Hospital is managed on the
Cooperative plan, at present. Those
wishing to receive its benefits pay
from SO to Sc per year in advance
and if taken sick or injured any time
during the year, they will be taken
care of, boarded and treated without
any further charge.
The rates charged are so moder-
ate, compared with the benefits re-
ceived, that this Hospital must COM
mend itself to the public as soon as
it shall be thoroughly understood.
Arrangements are made that one
of the Doctors will be on duty night
and day, when required by one or
more patients.
DR.. Maiden's great experience as a
Surgeon during our late war, the
last year of which he had charge of a
large Military Hospital, together
with over twenty years practice,
cannot be questioned in its success.
DR.. Newton, although younger,
has had large Hospital experience,
and has particularly devoted good
portion of his time to the study of
diseases of the Eye and Ear.
We would respectfully solicit the
earnest support of this enterprise,
especially by those whom it is most
intended to benefit.

WHITE HYACINTHS.
Founded on Fact.

Seventy years ago, or thereabout, in
the early spring of each year, when the
hyacinths and ionquils were in bloom, a
tall, stately and beautiful old lady would
drive up in her coach-and-four every
Sunday to the door of one of the old
colonial churches in Virginia to attend
divine service after the ritual of the
Episcopal Church. She always came in
grand style, coach-and-four, footman,
driver and outrider, as became grand
dame of the old noblesse. The sight of
that old yellow-bodied coach, with its
armorial quarterings in silver on panels
and harness, always seemed the realiza-
ton of the old nursery lullaby:

But we return to John Nelson. As
soon rs he fell from the saddle, shot
through and through the body, the faith.
full servant was by his side. He raised
his masters head on his lap, and moaned
piteously. John rallied little, and
recognized his servant and saw the flow.
ers still clutched in his faithful hand.
"Robert, take those flowers to Mary
with my last love. Tell her that died
with her image before me-and | have
been foully murdcred-by--"
But he never finished the sentence.
He struggled but moment and died,
died alone there in that gloomy, old for
est, alone and so near TO the home of his
darling Mary. The flowers dropped
from the hands of the negro, and fell
into a pool of his hearts blood that
stained the white sands.
The negro saw that his master was
dead; hastily snatched up the byacinths
all stained with blood, and screamed
wildly, frantically for help. He rushed
here and there, kissed his masters hand
and behaved like dementcd man,
while the tears streamed down his
swarthy cheeks. Then no thought of
going for assistance. He fled up the
road that led TO tho mansion screaming
ut every step. He soon met the terrified
lady far in advance of her father, and
rushed wildly TO her, holding out the
blood-stained hyacinths. "Mastcr told
me TO give 'em to you, Miss Mary, with
his last breath; he's lying dead up yon-
der; somebody in the woods shot him,
and he's dead" said the maniac, and
then ran back to the dead body.
Mary followed close ut his heels, and
fell on the stiffening form Of her lover.
She did not speak, or moan or weep She
kissed him until her lips were crimsoned
with the blood that slowly oozod from
his throat and mouth.
