DULcET NOTES OF THE SEASON
KENTUCKY LOVERS.


The moon had sneaked behind cloud,
The stars had shut their eyes,
And nature seemed to throw the veil
OF darkness o. er the skies.
The vicious watsh-dog lay asleep;
The hour was growing late,
When fair Amanda whispered low
To Freddy at the gate
" I know that pa dislikeS you, Fred
Mamma thinks that way, too.
But, never mind, j love you still
You bet your life I do"
And then they leaned across the gate;
They snapped engagement rings.
- You bet" she said, we'll happy be
When we meet at the springs.
I'll meet you at Crab Orchard, Fred
Well have world of fun
Well send out for q minister,
And he will make us one.
Then pa and ma will both come up,
Forgive us and forget:
There'll be glad reunion there,
And lots Of fun-you bet p

THE Atmosphere OF THE SEA.-The air
of the sea taken great distance from land
or even OF the shore and IN ports when the
wind blows from the open, is in an almost
perfect state of purity. Near continents,
the land winds drive before them an atmos-
phere always impure, but at 100 kilometers
from the coasts this impurity hes disap-
peaped. The sea rapidly puriies the pesti-
lentia atmosphere of continents. hence
every expanse of water of certain breadth
becomes an absolute obstacle TO the propa-
cation of epidemics. Marine atmospheres
driven upon land purify sensibly the air of
the regions which they traverse; this puri
fication can be recognize as far as Paris.
The sea is the tomb Of molds and of aerial
schizophytes.-AN. Moredu and Miquel.

His deep, cavernous voice rolling out with
tremendous power against the hills on
either side and reverberating back over the
plain, while he looked and spoke like one
inspired. Not man moved until he sat
down, and then all arose and made the
heavens ring with their shouts of welcome
to the returning President, to whom they
looked as a Savior. The column then
resumed its march toward the CITY,
The horsemen who had come out
to meet him divided and formed
on each side of the Presidents carriage
and with battalion fronts, the cavalcade
started-first in walk, then into a trot
then gallop and finally broke into a run
the mules attached to the ambulance
joining in the race and all the people unit
ing in singing Mexican national airs.
Within half mile of the city they were
met by vast concourse of people, which
seemed to indicate that the whole city had
emptied itself upon the plain. Again they
bent the knee to Juarez, almost in adora-
ton, and again he said, arise! You are
not serfs, but men and women" No re-
turning conquerer ever received more
hearty acclaim or cordial welcome than did
Juarez on this occasion. He succeeded in
re-establishing the Republic and restoring
its authority. He was again elected Presi-
dent IN 1871, but was not long permitted to
enjoy its honor, for he died in the following
year.
