Rosemary.

Wandering over the blossoming highlands,
Threading the shores of an infinite sea;
Wreathing the lilies that grow by the islands,
There my lost darling is waiting for me;
Never shadow shall fail on hec dreaming,
Never a wall through her melody signs,
Never tear in her beautiful eyes.
Rosemary, Rosemary, sorrow is clinging
Round my lone heart like the shadows of
even,
Teach ne the song that the angels are singing;
Smile on my soul from the gateway of heaven
Up where the pearls of the heavenly portals,
Crown the still waters so goldenly sweet,
Wilt thou not wreathe me garland immortal
Like to the lilies that grow at thy feet.
Wait for me there by the beautiful river,
Star of my soul on life's tremulous sea,
Want till the breezes of Eden shall CULVER,
Bearing me over the river to thee!
Rosemary, Rosemary, harpnotes are singing
Softly and sweet through the shadows OF even,
Teach me the song that the angels are singing,
Welcome me home to the gateway OF heaven.

Art display.

Among the many attractive holiday
features that are daily being disclosed for
ihe delight of the public there have none
been received with more favor than the su-
perb collection of italian and Bardiglio
marble pieces which Mr.. E. II. Biggs, the
druggist, hiss placed on exhibition during
the past week. 1t is impossible in few
words to give an idea OF the artistic merits
which each one of these charming little
examples of perfect art deserve, and to
learn their beauties we heartily advise every
the collection, to do so at once, before its
collection of beauties are disturbed.
The entire invoice is a direct importa-
ton from Florence, Italy. and comprises
such exquisite pieces as ''The Bsther" with
its companion 'Venus at the Bath
"The Broken Cup" and 'Tne Forced
Prayer" "Ths Stolen Birds Nest and its
beautiful little companion piece.
Besides there are numberless designs
OF Roman, Grecian and Venetian vases,
genuine FIorentine mossics, powder box
es, paper weights, and innumersble small
productions Of a chiseler's art, that we
cannot mention.
Mr.. Biggs secured the collection III rath-
er remarkable manner, and is able to
offer them at much less than
half their actual value, and if
people will consult their finer tastes and
study the artistic decoration of their
homes tkey will profit by the opportunity
which this sale of art pieces presents to
them. Call at any rate and see them; it
will be few moments or more most
pleasantly spent.

Garratt Oraan Recital.

The organ recital, which is to take place
at the House of Hope church next Friday
evening, the 3Oth inst, promises to be a
very enjoyable occasion. Mr.. CARAT is a
recognized master of this noble instru-
ment. As matter of fact he stands with
out superior in this country in brilliancy
of execution, both manual and pedal, finish
and depth of expression, with wonderful
powers in orchestration. Since the an
nouncement, made week ago, of this
recital by Mr.. CARAT and that our favor
lite prima donna, Miss Katherine Kountz,
had kindly consented to sing the vocal
numbers of the programme, much interest
and enthusiasm has been awakened in
musical circles and by the music loving
public generally in regard to this concert,
which will undoubtedly prove to be one of
the most delightful musical events of the
season. We predict that the church will
be crowded.

Aside from her profession Rachel was

her condition: Now for more than eight

Truly the joiner does not put
good will into his work, for my limbs no

Perhaps my lungs may not carry me of,
but ennui certainly will. What sad
solitude there is about me! 1 have all the

climate, and this hospitable river, which
rocks the invalid's bark as softly and
