POETRY.
THE VERY.
BY AUGUSTA LARNEp.

BY AUGUSTA LARNED.
As up the mountain side pressed
heard the veery's vesper song,
Poured warm from out his glowing breast.
And echoing the giades along:
Til. lee. tri-lee. tri lee, the strain.
Fond Love, and hope, and tender pain.
The evergreens their oders gave
To load the fresh ming Western breeze,
And, fed from many a mountain cave.
Thebrook sped downward through the
trees:
Tir-lee. tri-lee, tri-lee the song;
And rock and woodland echoed long.
he slender birches gently swayed -.
Their milky stems rose spectral fair;
Around their roots, with vines arrayed ,
Grew red.tipped moss and maiden hair;
And tir-a.lee. was poured
A liquid stream Of soft accord.
Dark rose the cedar's spiral form
On that pellucid Northern sky.
A clear expanse OF color shorn,
A lake of either to the eye:
And. like that clearness, tir-a-lee
Sang the lone bird upon the tree.
The dusky stems of lofty pines
Are spaced with visions Of the hills;
Blue harmonies in melting lines
And winding wales the picture fills;
And still the bird note seems to pray.
Like one who seeks the narrow way.
The cattle hid in distant dells
Wade deep through dank and dey brake
nj fa off Nall
Sound DER the bosom of the lake,
But Higher still the veery's lay
Floats like cloud of melody.

HUMOROUS.
He Hit the Case.

A stranger was yesterday writing
letter at the desk in the corridor of
the postoffice when woman with a
postal card in one hand and the OF b.
er tied up in handkerchief, came
walking up and eyed him in wistful
manner.
"Ah! you want to write a caro-,
madam" he observed.

Ont of a Dire Difficulty,

A father who can sympathize with
his children, and amicably decide
their differences and make himself
their instructor and guide, is as noble
as lie is useful.
Such parent lives at Owingsville,
KY. His two sons, both of whom he
loves dearly. were in love with the
same young lady, who was unable to
decide between them.
The father was thoughtful wild
over, and he felt deeply for his sons,
and in the kindness Of his heart he
tried to adjust the ill-feeliugs that
naturally resulted from such strained
relations. He succeeded. The boys
were sent away on business. and then
the gay old rascal married the girl
himself.

Durability or Wood Affected by Position.

Durability or Wood Affected by Position.
The problem has puzzled many
why two pisces of wood, sawed from
the same section of tree, should
possess very varied characteristics
when used in different positions.
For example, gate post will be
found to decay much faster IL the
but end of the tree is uppermost
than would be the case if the top
was placed in this position. The
reason is that the moisture
of the atmosphere will Per.
.neate the pores of the wood
much more rapidly the way the tree
grew than it would in the opposite
direction. MicroscopicaI -eEsmina-
ton proves that the pores invite the
ascent Of moisture, while they rspel
its descent. Take the familiar case
of a wooden bucket. Many may
have noticed that some of the slaves
appear to be entirely saturated.
while others appear to be quite dry.
This arises from the same cause; the
dry slaves are in the position in
which the tree grew, while the satur-
ated ones are reversed.

Pearl Wheat.

This is goed as a variation on the
oatmeal poridge for breakfast.
Take half a cup of water, with a
scant tea poonful of salt. Let the
milk and water boil up in sauce
pan on the stove, then stir in the
wheat and salt. Put the wheat in
the inside of the kettle of steamer
to cook, pouring boiling water in the
outside kettle around it. Boil two
hours. Let the steamer stand all
night on the ack of the range, and
in the morning heat it up gradually
just before sci wing. This can be also
done with oatmeal.

He Was Well Stamped.

There was a comical incident at
the postoffice the other day that was
directly due to the cold spell and
which induced all but one of the par
ties concerned to almost excuse the
blizzard that caused it. A man all
muflied up presented himself before
stamp seller Basson's window, and
handing out silver dollar which he
had conveniently in his hand, asked
for fifty 2>cent stamps. Mr.. Bosom
handed them out in a block. The
purchaser paused moment as
though in contemplation, then took
eff his hat, a soft one, and putting
his stamps in it, pulled it closely
down on his head.
He thought to save himself the
trouble of loosening his wraps. MIR.
Bass on noticed that the stranger
was unusually bald, having but a
little fringe Of hair around
the lower part of his head, and
feared for the stamps, but concluded
to let his customer order his own af-
fairs without Interference.
In about half an hour the man
came back. He walked with a hur>
ried step, and the CLEAN in his eye
was not wholly caused by the
frigid blast. He marched up to Mr..
Basson and taking off his hat bent
down his head, and in tone Of re-
proach said:
"Look there!"
Mr.. Basson did look, and saw what
he declares was the funniest thing
he ever saw. That mans head was
plastered all over with 2-cent stamps
trimmed around with little fringe oil
short silky hair.
"He looked Just like Humpty
Dunpty clown" declares Mr.. Bias
son, land had to laugh till the tear.
ran out of my eyes. asked the mar
what he put the stamps in his hal
for, and he said, as though he wa,
very much surprised, that they had
varnish on them"
The unfortunate fellow got mad al
Mr.. BasSon's mirth and angrily de
manded what he should do.
"Ha! ha! You had better 20 tt
the next window and have them can
celed," responded the stamp dealer.
Then the stranger threatened t.
interview the postmaster and hav'
the unsympathetic clerk discharged
at once, and the rumpus brough
several other clerks to the scene VIII
kindly directed the victim TO soal
his head. Finally such u crowd o
people gathered around and tn
stranger was so numerically guye,
that he left, and probably did as h
was told, soaked his head.-Ciacin

Miss Kate Bayard. second daughter
of the Secretary of State. was found
dead il bed this afternoon.
The immediate cause Of diss
Bayard's death was disease Of the
heart. She had been troubled with
weakness OF that organ, ard had
been treated by the family physi-
cian at intervals Tor several year,.
At the receptian at her fathers house
last night it was remarked that Miss
Bayard was unusually animated and
that she had tasked herself to the
utmost 10 entertain the guests. Ii Is
presumed that the undue exer;lon
may have precipitated the fatal AZ
tack. The young lady retired about
l O'Clock last night, expressing 4
wish TO be left undisturoed until
noon. Between / aud 2o'clock this
afternoon young sister endeAvored
to awaken her, and struck by the
peculiar expressing of her face, cali
ed for assistance. As soon as the
family recovered from the consier-
nation into which il had been thrown

powerful restoratives, including,
electricity, were applied, but in
vain. The physician express

For weeks the Commercial has

The authorities in Venango coun-
ty have taken a rank hold on the
violators of the liquor laws. Here
tofore persons convicted of violating
the law were fined 500 and sent to
jail for ninety days, at the expira-
ton of which time they paid their
fiues and were released. The Dis
trict Attorney on an examination OF
the law. satisfied himself that the
parties who went on the bonds Of
men securing licenses, made them
selves liable TO pay the amount
whenever conviction is had for
violating the law; accordingly he had
q writ issued to collect the amount
from the securities OF man convic-
ted of violating the law, and they,
after taking high legal advice.
hastened TO pay up and save further
costs. If this be correct interpre-
tati0n OF the law, liquor men will
have difficulty to secure bondsmen
IN the future.
