The Safest Time.

The Safest Time.
'tCone now the whispered at the lake
Where the white water-lilies longed to bloom.
'July is the safest time for buds to break
And with white the dull ponds dangerous
gloom"
Alacki the eager sun had quite forgot,
When once the air with flowers is perfumed,
Then steal the youth and maidens to the spot
To gather every lily that has bloomed.
There is no safest time" fear much,
For beauty that Is sweet to pluck and hold
Less terrible is winters unkind clutch
Than summers troop of youths and maidens bold.
Yet do not blame with pessimstic art
The sun that seems the lily to have tricked;
Take well this lesson to your doubling heart:
A lovely lily likes well to be picked.

Sonnet.
O motherl mother of the changeling year,
Let me lie close against thy loving heart.
And listen to its throbbing pulses start
Their rich, new wine into each snowy sphere
Of thy soft bosom. marvelously fair,
And press warm kisses on thy lips. apart
With tender dreams, whose very soul thou art.
o glad young prophecies and springtime seer,
Breathe on mine eyeIids, crystaled with regrets
Thy perfumed signs for dead and dying years.
And kiss the eyes of dreaming violets
Blue as thine own, and wet with April tears;
Sweet as the blossoms. love, remembered sets
In spicy beds on last years sepulchers.

A Wedding In Honduras.

The Honduranian wedding is an event
of much ceremony, especially among the
richer people. It begins at in the even
ing at the brides home. All the relatives
and friends of both families are present
The patio, with Japanese lanterns hung
here and there among the orange and
pomegranate trees-and the moon shed
ding her soft light over all-is thronged
as well as the house. The gay music
which has been. performed by the must
clans for perhaps an hour now ceases, or
else the band go into the patio and play
very softly. The bridal party emerge
from private rooms. The mayor appears.
The civil ceremony is begun and carefully
gone through with. This done the cure
takes his place and PERFORMS small part
of the religious service. After this the
cure goes away. Supper is partaken of,
and the ball begins. All night long the
music, the feasting, the champagne and
the dancing continue. At 4 In the morn.
ing the cathedral bell is heard. Instantly
the merriment ceases. The bride and
groom set out, heading considerable
procession of friends and relatives.
The priest meets them Of the main en-
trance Of the cathedral There Is brief
pause. The bride extends her hand and
the groom places in it thirteen coins, re-
peating the customary phrase-eq equivalent
to with my worldly goods | thee endow."
The bride responds meetly. Then the
company, led by the cure, pass slowly TO-
ward the main altar and all kneel while
nuptial mass is celebrated. This con-
cludes the ceremony. Bride and groom,
instead of departing on q wedding tour,
go at once to their new home, where q
remarkably fine wedding breakfast is i'm
mediately partaken of by the relatives
and most intimate friends.-Paul Roches-
ter in Home journal.

wa.htnpton on the Dismal swamp.

Washington, in 1853, in his own words,
entered the Dismal swamp, and "encom-
passed the whole" He camped on the
cast side of the lake, and unquestionably
considered the problem Of its formation,
for he was astonished, and he astonished
others by declaring that all the rivers In
the swamp flowed out Of 1t instead of
into 1t.
"The Dismal swamp" wrote Washing

measurement has since shown, that the
lake was twenty-three feet higher than
the sea.
Scientists have accounted for the water

the existence Of springs IN the lake. ]
venture with much hesitation to disagree
with this conclusion, believing 1t 30 be
impossible that the rainfall can account
for the enormous supply of water, not
only contained within the swamp, but
which is, and always has been, flowing
out of it.
First, 1t is granted that no more rain
falls on the Dismal swamp than on any
other piece Of Virginia 40x80 miles square.
Second, it Is certain that 1t does not draw
from the surrounding country, for 1t ID

Yet, out Of the Dismal swamp run nc
less than nine rivers, some of them very
considerable, and still the lake continues
to overflow, and the whole vast extent Of
the swamp remains inundated. john

Sickness Insurance In Germany.
Sickness insurance ismeeting with soma
favor in Leipsic and other German cities.
The law authorizing the operation Of such
companies permits the Insurance to ell
classes OF hand workers except clerks and
statesmen, but these may be included by

very noticeable In the tax for maintaining
