THE BURIED FLOWER.
WILLIAM AYTUNN.

In the silence of my chamber,
When the night is still and deep,
And the drowsy heave of ocean
Mutters in its charmed sleep.
OFT hear the angel voices
That have thrilled me long ago,--r
Voices of my lost companions,
Lying deep beneath the snow.
Where are now the flowers we tended?
Wlthcrcd, broken, branch and stem:
Where are now the hol e. we cherished?
Scattered to the leaves with them.
For We, too, were flowers, We dear onesl
Nursed in hope and reared in love,
Looking fondly ever upward
To the clear blue heaven above.
Smiling on the sun that cheereg us,
Rising lightly from the rain, ....-
Never folding up your freshness
Save to give it forth again,
O, 'ts sad to lie and reckon
All the days of faded youth,
All the VOWS that we believed in,
All the words we spoke in truth.
Severed, were it severed only
by the IDLE thought of strife, ..
Such as time may knit together;
Not the broken chord of life!
o, ding my spirit backward,
And pass DER years of pain;
All loved is rising round me,
All The lost returns again.
Brighter. fairer far than living,
With no trace Of woe or puim,
ROBBED in everlasting beauty.
Shall | see thee once again.
BY the light that never fadcth,
Underneath eternal skies,
When the morn of resurrection
Breaks DER deathlcsS Paradise,

CONVICT NO. o3l9.
BY SIDNEY GoUGH.


CONCLUDED FROM LAST WEEK.
FOLLOWED by the crushing arragnment
of the prosecuting council. The Judges
charge to convict AMI the jurvs verdict of
guilty, rendered without leaving the box,
consume but little tim", ami then comes
the hush which always preoedes the deliv-
erinS OF a sentence upon a criminal.
An unconscious bird sings for luoment
on the window ledge, but it is frightened
off as the solem9 tones of the judges voice
fall upon the hullrels of listening ears
Ere it has winged its flight to the nearest
bough the words have been spoken, the
trisl is ended, justice is vinlicatod and
man has been doomed to years of hopeless,
abjcct, bru,alizing AMI dispairing misery.
There is great confusion as the crowd dis
perses. The judge picks mp his papers, a
lackcy hands him his hat and cane and he
takes his departure with a look OF virtuous
self-satisfaction upon his tace. The law
ycrs who attend such trials for the expert
ence move oil in groups with hardly curios
ity enough to look at the prisoner, who in
his turn is hustled away by baiiffs eager to
get him off their hands and get home to
their dinners.
II this had not come there might have
been a reclamation of human being and
reparation to society. Justice, however.
has been done, and the world, knowing
nothing of the might-have boens, is salts
fled.
And yet, amid all the confusion, despite
the rough iostling of unfeeling officers of
the law, and the audible expressions of sat
isfactiOn of the mob, the ieers of some and
the rudeness of the irrepressible curiosity
of others, TO which the prisoner is keenly
sensitive, with him are ever those sad
eyes, the perfume of tine roses and the
heart-thrlling words of a song, which has
long since ceased to be even an echo, ex-
cept with him.

TO CLEAN NICKEL TRIMMINGS.

Rub the nickel stove trimming
and the plated handles and hinges
of doors with kerosene and whiting,
and polish with a dry cloth. Ten
cents worth of oXalic acid dissolved
in a pint Of hot water will remove
paint spots from the windows. Pour
a little into a cup and apply to the
spots with a swab, but be sure not
to allow the acid to touch the hands.
Brasses may be quickly cleaned with
it. Great care must be exercised in
labelling the bottle, and putting it
out of the reach of children, as it is
deadly poison. Spots in vanished
furniture are removed by rubbing
them with e Of peppermint or
spirits Of camphor, and afterward
using furniture polish or cold linseed
oil.-Good HOusekeepinq.

Make a large incision in the middle

COOKING FOOD FOR THE SICK.

The embargo on animal food re-
moved by the convalescence Of the

main. All fried food must be most
carefully avoided. The oft-re-peated
story of st. Lawrence having at
tanned sanctity by a gridiron, and
that in ST doing he conferred upon
hat implement the power of making
better everything prepared upon it,
by no means applies to the frying
pan. 1t is labor enough for the Wig
Orous stomach of active habits to
digest fried food, but the task be-
comes an almost an impossibility to

then, be prepared by stewing, roast

invalid when no longer bound to a
milk diet, nothing could be more
nOurising than cOcOatina.

Rice at

Saturday Review: As to rice throw
ing, the custom cannot be earlier than
the use of rice in this country. Now,
the author of a French work on The
Kingdom of Macassar," published at
the end of the seventeenth century,
found that rice was thrown ont of the
back windows of the house all day dur
ing Il marriage in Macassar. The bride
and bridegroom were not peited, the
object was to distract the attention of
the e%nvious evil spirits. Left to their
own devices. the evil spirits might have
played all sorts of practical jokes,
might have carried the bridegroom of
bodily to the chamber of the Princess
of Persia, or conveyed the bride to the
arms of the Prince of Bagdad, or of It
humpbacked groom. How the rice af-
fected the demons is not very obvious.
An accute observer has divided the
practices of savage religion into Esprit
soaring and spirit squarling." Were
the MacasSar bogies scared OF squared,
frightened or brihcd, by the showers
of rice. That is a question for
Herbert Spencer; but either hypo-
thesis is more plausible than the com
mon idea that rice is an emblem of
fruitfulness and secures an abundant
crop of olive branches. Symbols and
ceremonies are apt to glide into reali-
ties, and realities into symbols. The
symbolic rice in Bethnal Green was
lately thrown with such hearty good
will that it nearly put ont the eye of one
of the bridegrOoms. 'He was led 10 Il
surgery adjacent, and will now have to
pass in the ward Of II hospital what
would otherwise have been his honey
noon Perhaps this well-directcd
and calling fire of rice was kept up by
an unsuccessful rival, who may be COLI
graduated on the ingenuity of II device
which has hitherto escaped even the
villain of fiction, 1t is curious TO read
how the bride escapes from the worst
of the missiles-thanks TO the protcc-
ton of her veil. The veil is rs old a
part Of the marriage ceremony as any
known TO civilization; but its origin is
obscure. According TO one theory, the
veil, like other female head coverings,
is worn because of the angels" ac-
cording to another, it survives from the
age when Il husband was forbidden to
see the face of his wite-an odd state
of affairs, Perhaps bridegrooms will
row take to wearing wells rs they come
from the altar of Hymen in BethnAl
Green.

Is a Turtle a Lethal Weapon?

Releigh News and Observer: Some
time ago a learned Judge Of the super
Tor court of North Carolina held that a
bull dog was a "deadly weapon" That
was a knotty question, but a knottier
one now arises. In the market Tues
day two negroes quarrelled. The lie
was passed, and the mar whose verac-
ity was questioned at nee swung "a 10
pound mud turtle around his head and
lett fall with all its weight and his adj.
ded force upon the other mans head,
The case came before the mayor. II
was claimed that the turtle was a dead.
ly weapon. The blow with it had in.
ficted u deep wound on the mans
head. 1t is a nice point OF law and
will attract attention. The superior
court will have 80 tackle the case.
