Q, ANXIOUS HEART.

ESunday MagalRe.l
Be quiet restless heart Tho long light hes
m In CLEANS OF lingering sunshine on the hdH;
The home bound swallow, twittering IS he
Makes silence seem more still
The shadows deeper grow, and in the woods
Inc air latent sweetness holds in fee;
An odor faint of yet unblossomed buds
SO like, dear heart, to thee
Far distant in the soft, cerulean deep,
Where the horizon bounds the neither world,
Great ships becalned like brooding birds
asleep,
Lie with white sails loose furled.
In peace the day is ended, and the night
talieth as doth veil upon the sea;
Along its bosom come with swift winged flight
The gray mists, silently.
o, anxious heart, how nature speaksl Her
power
How ieisurely she uses! How intense
The infinite peace of her most peaceful hourl
How soft her influence!
Time hath she for her storms to sweep the
To rock the tree tops with her winds Of
wrath:
70 bring forth fragrance in the summer rain;
And time for snow she hath!
So, dear, for all thy eager soul desires,
she keeps sweet times and seasons. In her
mood
Is hid for thee all passions subtle fires
To round thy womanhood
Cease them and in this dewy twilight move
As one who asks not whittier, cares net
why;
This gift for all holds still the Eternal love-
GODS endless by and by.

Travelling Cor pleasure.

When the present marquis Of Westminster

Then came the supreme suppOsition made
by the farmer:

The mystery was SOON solved, fer in
answer to a few kind questions the one robed
in mystery declared that she was a girl; that
her name was Miss Bryant; that she hailed
from Fulton, Oswego county, and was not a
doctor nor disciple of Mary Walker OF
Miss Bloomer. And she likewise affirmed
that she was not a reformer, never knew of
any one who had adopted her mode of dress,
and did not know as any one would. Her
object was comfort and economy. She
needed not the suppressed whisper of the
ladies or the glance of askance of the gentle

Captain Webb and the Alligator.

Learning something of~the tactics of
the alligator, says a southern paper,
Captain Webb never entered the water
without his double bladed knife. which
he carried in a sheath bound to his side
by a slender belt. After an hours vigor-
u exercise in the water one morning.
he climbed upon a solitary rock about1OO
yards from the beach. While here he
noticed at a distance, coming in his di-
r%ectlon, a large-sized alligator, and, con
sidering his resting place an unsafe one
In case Of attack by such a formidable
antagonist, he plunged into the bay aud
started for the shore. Having his at
tention wholly centred ON the enemy
first discovered, he paid little attention
to anything else, and before he knew
what he was about he ran plump against
another alligator that happened to be
place where the rushes partly hid him
from view. The alligator appeared to
be quite as much astonished at the un-
ceremonlous meeting as the swimmer.
Sinking the alligator in the region Of
the tail. he bounded back and prepared
for battle. The heavy wag of the ami
mails tail enabled Webb to throw him
sell back far enough to be beyond the
reach OF the first blow that was aimed at
him. A moment more and the alligator
rolled over and madea dive at him. His
presence Of mind saved him. He stood
in the water, facing his enemy, with his
head and shoulders above the surface.
With his douhle-ended knife he received
the monster, and when his jaws came
down the swimmer Owed away. leaving
the knife in the mouth of the reptile,
trsnsti1lng both jaws and locking them
together. At this juncture the animal
first seen was rapidly approaching. hut
the swimmer oon reached the shore
and. by means Of a rifle, soon made vic
