TAe BLOSSOM ANp rHE e!np.

A hawthorn blossom on the spray
Nodded and sighed one sunny day,
Ere June had yet usurped the May.
There came bird and perched below
And sang the sweetest he did know,
To tell the flower he loved her so.
Vain was his song; she blushed, she sighed,
But to his singing ne'er replied,
Whatever strain the songster tried.
Twas autumn, and robin saw
Hung In the hedge scarlet haw;
Twas dainty to his hungry maw,
The scarlet fruit was she that heard,
Unmoved, the plant Of love preferrsd
The red breast was the ss1sisss q. S:-. bird.
Aud often thus, as years succeed,
The idols Of young dreams shall feed
Life's common wants and meanest need.

A certain farmer and granger, about q

the gold was $33, 093, 900. California is
the largest producer of Hthe yellow metal,

and that we used in the industrial arts
about $14, 500, 900 worth Of gold and $5,-
OO0, 900 worth Of silver. The product Of
these precious metals In the United States
appears to be more than one-third that Of
the whole world. In 1885 the world Fro

The Albany Argus tells a strange
story of a Union veteran who fought
at Gettysburg. Just before entering
the action he took his canteen from
his shoulder and hid it in crevice in
the rock. Then came that fiery hail
of shot and shell that swept down
regiments like fields of wheat before
the reaper. At the close of the bat
tie the soldier forgot all about his
canteen, nor did it ever occur to him
again until he visited the field at the
late reunion. Thenit flashed through
his mind, and after a few minutes
search he found it where he had left
it on that momentous day.
