FOREST LEAVES.

And o! the lesson Of that Tastling page,
Which more doth teach than learned saint OF

The truth which SORROW soul alone pereeives,
Have / not learned il we'll.
All human hearts, like forest lesSes, see;
They bud, they spread, they witner and turn
sere.
They drink the sunshine-hutter in the gaze,
Or, smitten by untimely blight, turn pale,
And ia midsummer fall-whlie Others be
Left through the winter drear.
some in upiitted glory flash and Haunt;
some in COOL shadow-sheltcrcd wales abide
Some hedge the highway, daring dust and CRIME
But be they oak or aspen leaves. the time
soon comes for all, when frosty fingers gaunt

Sweet IS q rain soft as the summer air,
Fair ia the hilltop. lovely is the vale,
Bright is the sunshine, grateful Is the shade,
Content the dew sleeps on the rustiing blade;
Non swift-winged eagle that last goal VII
share
With this scarce-moying snail.
The stream turns from the fountain at its
birth,
And halts not on it, journey to the sea:
The forest leaves forsake the native stem
To seek the breast which soon enfoldeth them;
SO do all hearts sink in the silent EARTH
And visit not what they be.

These matrons are all housewives who
are Jealous of their fame in the cult

timed Journeys merely to gormandize
over the dainty dishes which are
produced by the great chefs for the
epicurean palates of the metropolis. 1t
is a more practical pretext,sO to speak.
They have in view the requirement of
the freshest secrets of the celebrated
kitchens. Out of two or three visits to
the cafes they are able to find on the
dinner-lists q half. dozen new dishes
which will add to the completeness
of their own entertainments. A little
finessipg with the walters, and lib
eral fee or two, will usually extract
! from the inner regions of the best
ordered establishments the desired in
I formation. 1t is said that the cooks of
the big cafes never receive those with
whom they deal through the walters.
/ If the dish for which recipe Is wanted
/ is chef d'muvre of the culinary master
he will decline to give its component
parts and the manner of preparation
with as much frankness as il is asked.
/ Rarely. however, do the inquisitive
ladies find it impossible 10 obtain all
the secrets they desire, even in estab-
/ lishments where the kitchen is sup
posed to be inaccessible TO amateurs.

the principal hotels and restaurants
have regular customers whose names
they know and tastes they are familiar
with.

there ever were such. He was near

feet were of extreme size in length,

early to put on shoes. for those prlmi-

pitcher and the bowl, nor
the width of my hand. With all

pitcher in some way and upset it, and
ont went the milk over the table,
Sally and myself. She jumped up and
went, shaking with laughter. into the
other room. | saw that all was lost. l
saw nothing more of her.
When the clock struck 10 the old
lady said:
Mr.. Boone. won't YOU wash your
feet and 90 to bed?''

them in. The water was hot and |
soon found them swelling tighter and
tighter; l couldn't get them out.

anxiety were so great that the sweat
rolled down my face.

MIR. Boone, are you done washing
your feet?" sleepily inquired the old
lady.
