LINES TO AN EAR OF POPCORN.
FOLGER MckISSEY.

Say, curious thing, what bii of fertile earth
Enwombed thy form and Travelled in thy
birth?
How much thou seenest like this poor life
of ours.
Each little grain one of it's little hours
strife
Quick bursts a heart. quick pops a human
life.
Confectioned Ger with the unguent of Fame
Death eats, and leaves but the common
memory Of name
Methinks l see thee in thy primal state
Ere man had torn thee from thy fonr fold
mate,
ROBBED in the rich and ivy-tinred green,
Cloaked in a husk of golden SUM ght sheen,
Colonel commandent Ger yon ranks o.
wholesome grain;
Warning with Nature for mans unsated
gain.
Down the long lines of serried stalks | gaze,
Where rabbit-paths enwind in mystic maze,
High in the air the pennant tassels wave,
In whose sweet cells the bees enchanted
lave,
Each parent stalk tripet offspring bears
And signs to the wind the virtue of her
wares;
Soft on the ear the rustlng murmurs swell,
Like the sad echo of distant fu1nera! bell.
Down the sweet lane IT, sun brow ned now
erS come
Eager to reap the mellow harvest home
Row after row the bleeding stalks fast fall
Till keen ruin overtakes them all;
Sweat follows sweat upon the reapers'
brows,
Each separate stalk before the sickle bows
Low with the ground their russell heads are
laid,
Where late was light ensues leafy shade
Aud thus it is with LIES harvest of mem
Time comes, and low meath his great scythe
they bend:
Feel on their brows tie chill, eternal dew
Aud with their bones the engulfing soil
brSirew
High, like The grain, their tas>el-d hopes
they wave
"A llSiltlN SlDI Iii he lbllTeS> Oh lie grave.
Then, as he hu~ks. en,"re u parting sigh
And find they've fought but for he priv
ilege to die.
How thy soft grains rise in an even grade.
AT this end small at tn other large are
Iuale.
Thus is't with me u, the great o'ertop tle
small,
And when they stoop the little ones must
fall.
They say if part "f thy unnumb sred grains
Were set in earth and fed by healthy rains
From thy Wee heart would spring houn-
teous yield;
Stalk after stalk would line the crowded
field,
So when sweet Truth is sown upon a life
Blest Virtue grows, and with It's roots out
crowds the weeds of strife.
Oh, wondrous trowel that moulds this hui
Nan life fnrlorn
Unto the seeming OF a lowly ear of corn.
Philadelphia, Feb. D. 1884.

messages Gil this day is very old one,
and it is hard to say just how and where
it began. Chaucsr, the first great Eng
lish poet, speaks of it in his works which
were written in the fourteenth century,
and Shakespeare and many other poets
mention it. The so called comic
valentines are of much later origin, yet
let US hope not an American invention,
for they are as rule not funny at all,
but only course and ugly, and very apt
to hurt the feelings of the receiver. In
the time CT Charles II. it was also the
fashion in England and Scotland for
friends to draw each others names on
St. Valentines Day, and give presents
as we do on birthdays. The first person
known to have sent written valentine
was Charles, Duke of Orleans, a brave
French nobleman, who was taken pris-
oner by the English at the great battle
of Agincourt, in 1415. Two hundred
years after, a grand marriage was cele-
brated on st. Valentines Day, when an
English princess, Elizabeth. daughter of
James l., was welded to Frederick
German prince, and to this union is due
the strange fact Of the daughter of
German family being to-day on the
throne of England. This wedding was
written OF by many poets, and one
named Douro in particular composed q
pretty poem about it, the first verse of
which was;
"Hai-, Bishop Nalentire,..w day this is
All the air IS thy diocese:
And all the cLirping choristers
And other birds, are rhy parishioners

The Duration of Sleep.
From Science for Al.

Let us briefly allude to one of the most
important-namely, the duration of sleep
how in some cases few hours will
suffice, and in others a longer period is
needed. DR.. Reid, the metaphysician,
could work for two days without break
if he got one sound sleep after a full
meal. If the stories about Lord Broug-
ham could be believed, he could work on
less sleep than most people require.
Frederick the Great and John Hunter
required only five hours sleep; but it
must not be supposed that because men
with exceptionally powerful nervous Or
ganization can dispense with the normal
quantity of sleep it would be safe for
everybody TO follow their example. The
sleep of the heart, which we have seen
to amount to eight hours out of the
twenty -four, is fair indication of the
quantity of sleep which on an average
ought to be allowed to the brain. AS
Sir Thomas Browne, the learned Knight
of Norwich, hath it, Half our days we
pass in the shadow of the earth, and the
brother of death extracteth a third part
of our lives"

"Well, should say So" was the re-

most complete piece of deception l ever

would have sworn that she was an
angel" But she wasn't?' II should

SONG OF MY FATHERLAND

BY JACOB GRANNAs.
| sing to the land of my life and love,
The land of the brave and true,
Where golden beam from the throne above
Ger my joyous summers flew.
| sing to the land of my fathers rest
OF my sisters virgin bier,
Where my heart once throbed on a mothers
breast,
And echoed her smile and tear.
] sing to the land where the Danube flows,
And the haunted ruins loom,
And the mountain height in the sunset
CLOVIS
Mid the forests darkening gloom.
Where the warrior King and the knights of
The messengers chosen theme
Left glorious name for the race to hold
And WELD o er the world supreme
Where the Arts with their Sister Knowl-
edge bring
A leaf to their country's crown,
And their virtues soar on eagles wing
Der the hamlet, plain and town.
Where the cities, clad in heirgorgeous light,
All their ancient pride maintain,
And the monarchs throned upon virtue
height
With the sword of justice reigns.
Where the voice of truth and science born
On the mountains iowery side,
Der their heros sacred memory mourned
At his seat of classic pride
Where the peasants song in their careless
glee
Through the echoing valley rings,
Where the hamlet smiles to the swallows
free,
And the wild deer haunts the springs.
l sing to the land of memories dear
That my early summers knew,
Ere the hand of grief with its shadows
drear
Der my childhood dark'ing grew.
To the land where my wandering footsteps
strayed,
To the Rhine and Lay bach shore,
Where proudly kuelt in the classic shade
To rise with the crown of lore
l sing to the home of my fatherland,
Ger the ocean wave afar,
And the reckoning form of IA spirit-hand
Cleans forth like distant star.
l come by the light of my sisters eye,
Through the darksome hours of gloom,
Where it brightly beams from the world on
high,
Der the flowers that wreathe her tomb
l come on the wing of the wizard night,
From my cares and sorrows free;
l come with the voices that wings their
flight
Sweet mother thou vert taken from me.
l come to the land of my fathers rest,
OF my sisters virgin bier,
And my heart shall throb on the mothers
grave
That echoed its smile and tear

4 STRANGE VALENTINE
From Harper's Weekly.

In the dusky light of fragrant and
richly adorned drawing room two
people we're in animated conversation.
One, a woman of fifty, handsome
still, and with a toilet suggestive of
much care and thought, was speaking
not only with decision, but with posi-
tive anger; although her seif-control
was great enough to keep her voice
from rising, it was not able to prevent
a tTemulous vibration which she vainly
tried to stifle She was sitting on a
highbacked, embroidered chair in an
attitude as fa,lltless as the fit of her
satin gown.
The other, girl oftwenty, with great
clear brown eyes and fluffy brown hair
and graceful figure, stood as a young
child might have done at receiving
reprimand. Her eyes We're cast down,
the lashes dropping till they nearly
touched her cheeks, and her fingers
were nervously picking to pieces a
sprig of heliotrope from magnificent
basket of flowers beside her.
at is the most absurd thing | ever
heard of, said the elder lady, with a
scornful smile. 81 really can not waste
any more words upon it. You always
were quixotic, Teresa, and this perfor-
nance caps the climax. In nearly one
and the same breath, you tell me you
love him, and that you have refused
him. Oh !! it is too disappointing.

"Wello"
please let it drop-forget it.
The tone was pleading, the voice
sweet.
"Forget it, indcedo DO you think
l will allow you to oppose me in this
style? Have | not daughters of my
own, and cares enough of my own,
without being longer burdened with
one so obstinate and self-willed as YOU
Teresa?''
Il did not know mean" said
the young girl, deprecatingly. But
she was quickly interrupted.
'Now don't plead ignorance don't
tell me that you do not know my
wishes, and did not mean to offend
me-"
81 really did not think of you at
ALL"
"Worse and worse Well, this Is
plain speech. And whom do you
think of-only yourself? Selfish child .
is this my reward for educating you,
and allowing you every luxury, spend
ing time and money on you as freely
as on my own?"
"Aunt-Aunt Geraldine, please for
give me-"
The young voice faltered the pink
flush gave way to pallor; the brown
eyes filled.
"No, Teresa it's mockery to ask
that ; and want you clearly to under
stand that this is to be no longer your

"But, aunt, where am | to go?-

to freeze the young girl. Her brown

BUDDING GENIUS CRUSHED AGAIN
From tie st. Louis Republican.

From tie st. Louis Republican.
"Oh, is the manager in?''
She stood at the window of the treas
urer's office and her mellihuent voice
had fever and ague tremor as she
spoke.
"Yes," said the assistant treasurer, a
demoniac smile lighting up his hand
some features. "What can l do for
you?"
"Well, you know, | appeared last
Tuesday evening in the play presented
by the McGoozium Club. All my
friends say l did very we'll"
"You did, indeed" said the assistant
treasurer with the same polar air with
which he refused to pass in a reporter
just before.
That's what they all said. They
said my death scene would have done
credit to Rhea or Clara Morris"
ooh, yes, you died very artistically ;
in fact, it was quite deathly."
"NVell, now, I'd like to have Il place
in your company. You know I'd like
to go on the stage. l think that would
be my forte"
Well, there isn't any place now in
the company--nothing that would be
suited to your peculiar line Of genius,
said the assistant, heartlessly.
Oh, my l would not be particular
about the first years salary, said she.
Well, now, if l were you l would be
very particular about that--very par
ticular.
Why? said she, in surprised tone.
Because l hardly think you would
get second years salary.
She departed i'll silence.

Compliment to General Sheridan.
The Confederate dread of Sheridan and

distrust of their own General Early is in
Dictated by the following anecdote from
General Badeau's article on General
Sheridan" in the February Century,
The effect OF these double victories in
the Shenandoah Valley was startling upon
the army and the people of the North,
and even greater on the Southern soldery
ard the population behind them. The
troops Of Early were disheartened; he
himself reported panic, and was directly
ceusnred by Lee; while the Richmond
mob painted on the fresh artillery order
ed to his support: General Sheridan, care
of General Early"
