HER cHATELAlNE.

She wears upon her chatelaine,
Lie scalps and trophies of the slain,
Full five and twenty coins of old,
OF isweled silver and of gold;
With pencil case and gay tablet
And dainty, dangling vinaiSrette.
Each shining on its slender chain.
She wears them On her chatelaine.
But high upon a silver ring
There hangs grewsome silver thing,
A grinning goblin quaint and old
With eyes OF fire and claws of gold
Who seems TO glare at inc and glance
In one unearth!y. endless dance,
And mocks me with his calm disdain,
Upon my lady's chatelaine.
He nestles on her wiliowy waist.
With crimson girdle interiaced;
He hears each breath and sigh and start,
He feels each futrsring OF her heart.
And still his weird and wien face
Peers from without the creamy lacs
That clusters on her silken dress
And maps her precious loneliness.
Oh, il the smiles so gay and Tree
Bestowed on him were given me.
But for one glance so fond and sweet
I'd lay kingdom at her feet;
He takes it as his right does he
No right doth appertain 10 me,
] wish that his place could gain
To swing upon her chatelaine.

Solid Petroleum.

A successful Russian method of So
lidifying petroleum consists in simply
adding to the heated oil from one to
three per cent. of soap, which dissolves,
and on cooling the mixture becomes a
cement-like mass having the hardness
of compact tallow. This forms con-
venient and economical fuel, which is
hard to light, burns slowly and without
smoke, but develops much heat, and
leaves about two per cent. of hard.
