The controversy as to keeping live
plants in . room at night continues to
be carried ON with vigor and acrimony,
although most people have probably
supposed that it was long since set at
rest. At a medical conference recently
held in France it was demonstrated to
the satisfaction of all the savants there
present that plants. as long as they are
plants only, may safely, and even with
advantage, be admitted to the elysium
from which they have so often been
exiled. These pretty ornaments. as a
learned writer now declares, star from
being hurtful, are beneficial, inasmuch
as they exhale a certain amount of
ozone and vapor, which maintain a
healthy dampness in the air, and, be-
sides that, are destructive of the mi
crobes which promote consumptive
tendencies in human beings. 1t is only
flowers, and not the plants which bear
them, that do the damage. Ferns are
innoxious; roses and sunfiowers are
pernicious, at least while they are in
bloom"

Oh, you kissed me when you left me,
And your parting words remain
Treasured deep within this bosom:
Dearest, we shall meet again.
For know that you will come, dear,
So calmly watch and wait,
And, darling, I oft am watching
For your coming at the gate.
When the busy day is over,
And to care bid goodbye,
Then think Of you, my darling,
Fondly wishing you were nigh.
When the silvery moonlight glistens
Over mountains veiled in dew,
Making all the streamiets glisten,
Then I'm thinking, love, Of you.
When press my lonely pillow,
And from labor I am free,
Then, when sleep has closed my eyelids,
Still in dreams you come to me-.
All the night, i early morning,
We are wandering side by side
In the moonlight's silvery glitter,
Where the sparkling waters glide.
Then am so happy, darling,
That when daylight comes again,
And wake to find twas dreaming,
Oh! the waking gives me pain.
But know that you will come, dear,
For your parting words remain
Treasured deep within this bosom:
Dearest, we shall meet again.

Some of the Eastern papers are dis
cussing the plan of substituting cleo
tricity for the hangman's rope in the
executions OF criminals. Some of the
arguments brought forward are good,
but they all leave out the essential
point in favor of the gallows, which is
the shameful nature of the death. This
has deferred many people with vicious
inclinations from perpetrating crime,
and there is no good reason for abolish
ing it. Death by shooting is as painless
and almost as instantaneous as by cleo
tricity, yet the substitution Of it for
hanging would, in the opinion of many
experts, lead to an increase in the graver
crimes. The only reform in executions
which is needed in this coantry is to
make them strictly private, which
would remove many of the most repul-
sive scenes now witnessed at hangings.

English Song writing.
rTha rho,~,,


Without going 50 far as to say that no
man is a poet who cannot write a good
song, il may certainly be said that no
man a write a good song VINO is not a
good poet. Heaftiness and mclody-the
two requisites of a song which never can
be dispensed With-can rarely be com
passed, it seems, by one and the same in
diyidual. In both these qualities the
Elizabethian poets stand prominent,
though ever with them the melody is not
so singable as it might be made. Among
the more prominent poets CT II time,
Mr.. Browning, though hehas heartiness
in plenty, betrays a love Of rugged con-
sonanial effects such as would always pre-
vent him from writinga first-rate song.
Here, indeed, is the cro#ning difficulty Of
song-writing. An extreme simplicity of
structure and Of diction must be accom-
panied by an instructive apprehension Of
the melodic capabilities of verbal sounds
and of what Samuel Lover, the Irish song
writer, called singing words, which is
rarein this country, and which seems to
belong to the Celtic rather than to the
Saxon ear. sThe song-writer," says
Lover, "must frame his song Ct open
voWels, with as few cultural or kissing
sounds as possible, and he must be con
tent sometimes to sacrifice grandeur and
vigor to the necessity Of selecting singing
words and not reading Words
