The Little Maidens.

I'll tell you story, I'll sing you q song
It's net very short and it's not very long
or six little maidens in white they were
dressed,
Aud each was the sweetest and each
was the best.
Invited for four-well, now, let me see
Waiting was dull, so they got there at
three.
There were little Miss Katie and Nellie
and Sue,
And little Miss Bessie and Polly and
Prue.
! 1t might have been June, if it hadn't
been May,
The first of the month, and beautiful
day;
They kissed when they met, as the la
dies all do
Kate, Susie and Nell; BeSs. Polly and
Prue.
They danced and they skipped, and they
sang and they played,
And they formed pretty groups in the
sun and the shade;
And said. when they asked me of
which 1 was fond:
"Brunettes are the dearest, and so are
the blonde"
And that night, as l bade them adieu at
the gate
Bess, Polly and Prus, and Sue, Nellie
and Kate
How wished that "good-by!" could
have been "how-d'y'-dop

A Daisy Time.

There appears to be almost no end to
the novelties being perfected for the
Oriole festivities in Baltimers in Sep
tember. 1t will truly be as termed, a
Summer Nights Carnival, and csrtainly y
nothing like it was ever before attempt,
ed in any city of the continent. There will
be electricity in all its forms, arc lights,
and ineandescent lights, feeus lights
and tiambeaux, torches in various colors,
Greek fire, calcium and gas, until night
will be turned into day. The pyrotech-
mic features will be on scale of great
extent and variety, some of the set piec-
es promising to be marvellous in effect.
The whole city will be lighted as never
before. The different monuments with
which the metropolis abOunds will be
girdled by electrical bands, while the
lofty and majestic dome Of the City Hall
will be fairly ablsZe. Every avenue
leading to novelty in illumination is
eagerly sought after. and old Baltimore
will indeed show herself this year. The
night display In the harbor will be a
gorgeous sight; and the arrival of Lord
Baltimore something to remember for
years. The Mystic Pageant on the third
night will beyond all comparison excel
anything of the description ever at
tempted lot alone in this country but
in any country. Other cities are con
tent with from eighteen to twenty-five
floats, the latter number being the great
est ever embraced within one pageant
in any city. Baltimore almost doubles
this as her pageant on the wight of the
18th OF September will include no less
than forty floats or tableaux cars, larger
more imposing and grander in every
way, than ever before shown. Ordinar-
lily the number Of characters introduced
in pageant is less than one hundred -
In the Baltimore pageant there will be
two hundred and thirty characters upon
the floats, every costume entirely new
and imported from Paris direct. 1t will
require thirteen hundred men, two hun
dred and tOrtv horses, over fifteen thous-
and gas jets, eight bands of music, and
accessories in like magnificent proper
tion. The actual cash outlay necessary
TO place the pageant upon the streets OF
Baltimore will exceed thirty five thous-
and dollars. The characters are assum-
ed exclusively by members of the Order

POETRY.
Is That the Way You Do?

Is that the way you do. nv dear?
Is that the way you do!
When little things
With little stings
Arise to trouble you?
In rosy rage to finger tips,
With angry speech upon your lips,
With swapping eye and snarling tongue
And bitter words together strung?
Unless rehearsing for shrew,
My dear, that's not the way to do
l knew lovely girl, my dear,
As fair and bright as you,
With sparkling wit
That sharply hit
Whichever way it flew.
Friends smiled at first, and thought il
- 4 smart,
But, ah, she wounded many a heart,
Nor did not notice how each day
These friendships dropped away.
The slightest word she wonld resent,
And hold herself al of
From those who cared
For her, and dared
Administer reproOf;
Nor thought that vinegar and spice
Might be at times considered nice,
Yet were not altogether good
For human natures daily food.
So very quick to take offense,
So full of pettish spite
Was she, alas
She could not pass
Occasions for fight,
And so her lovers, one by one.
Began the pretty maid TO shun
And pass her rather coldly by,
While she, in secret, wondered why.
If that's the way you do, my dear,
Take warning while you're young,
And never let
Your temper get
The mastery Of your tongue.
Sweet charm of manner, you will find,
New friends will make, old friends will
bind,
While lively wit and sharp retcrt
May frighten those who come to court.
Josephine Pollard, in n. Y. Ledger.

should be taken in all cases without delay.

which costs US nothing.-Tillotsoa.
Be careful of thyself; and stand in
