WHEAT MY LOVER SAID.

By the merest chance in the twilight gloom
In the orchard path he met me
In the tall wet grass, with its faint perfume.
And tried TO pass, but he made no room;
Oh, tried. but he would not let me.
So stood and blushed till the grass grew red,
With my face bent down above Il,
While he took my hand, as he whispering
said
How the clover lifted its pink, sweet head.
To listen to all that my lover said!
Oh, the clover in bloom, ! love il!
In the high wet grass went the path to hide,
And the low, wet leaves hung over,
But ! could not pass on either side,
For found myself, when vainly tried.
In the arms of my steadfast lover,
And he held me there, and he raised my head,
While he closed the path before me:
And he looked down into my eyes and said
How the leaves bent down from the boughs
DER head.
To listen to all that my lover saidl
Oh, the leaves hanging lowly DER me.
/ am sure that he knew when he held me fast,
That must be all unwilling;
For tried to 20 and would have passed.
As the night was come with its dews at last,
And the sky with its stars was filing.
But he clasped me close when ] would have
fed
And he made me hear his story:
And his soul came ont from his lips and said
How the stars erept out, when the white
moon led.
To listen 10 all my lover saidi
Oh, the moon and the stars in gloryl
know that the grass and the leaves will not
tell.
And am sure that the wind, precious
rover,
viii carry his secret so safely ana well
That no being shall ever discover
One word of the many that rapidly fen
From the eager lips of my lover;
And the moon and the stars that looked
over,
Shall never reveal what a fairy-like spell
They wove round about us, that night in the
dell,
In the path i'm the dew-laden clover,
Nor echo the whispers that made my heart
swell
As theyfell from the lips of my lover.

at large, not parties TO the Red Cross, but
seeking it as a medium for distribution,
were SO abundant that our relief boats dis
tributing constantly until the 4th of June,
long after the waters had fallen, had still
something left upon their decks. 1t was
certainly a most remarkable manifestation
of the munifcence and confidence of kind
hearted people. especially when one con-

Cross, nothing asked for and nothing eX-
pected outside of its own societies. Con-

Wick, the celebrated florist, has these
sensible remarks in reference 10 fashion
able flowers" OF all personal ornaments
flowers are the most precious too vahl-
able and everlasting TO be spoken of in the
same breath with the production of the
jeweler or the milliner, and yet we are told
tnat orchids are the fashionable bridal bou-
quetS, because some one or two daughters
of millionarieS carry them. Very oftea
nothing less graceful or more inappropriate
could be chosen. The idea with many
seems to be simply to find the most rare
and unique species OF natural flowers, in
dependent of beauty; if they cost much and
are rare, that is quite sufficient. Theoyer-
strained effort always betrays itself, and
orchids were never yet more highly valued
by people OF refined tastes than were the
wild violet, or the hedge rose. No Chaucer,
no Herick, no Wordsworth, has sung of
the orchids as they have sung of daisies, of
daifOdilS, or OF the modest snOwdrop. but
they have often been exhibited as the flaunt-
ing decorations of those who have no
higher appreciation of them than that they
were costly and SO to some extent the en-
sign Of wealth. What pity it is that any
one class OF flowers should become fashion
able, just as if all flowers We're not beau
tiful in their own way, and far above the
mere chattering patronage of any particular
set.

which occurred in Chicago about two years

playing an engagement at McVicker's thea

mems OF humanity whose offensive egOtism
is in measurable keeping with their Co

was under the management OF l.. l.. Sharpe
gentlemanly and capable fellow, who has
given great satisfaction in his position. 1t
is customary at McVicker's to announce the
matinee by bulletin in front of theater,
and during the StetsOn engagement the an
nouncement was posted in the usual form,
reading thus:
