THE SLEEP OF YEARS.

No green that greets the early Spring
When first her presence quickens there,
CLOVIS as the crown her maidens bring ...
When Autumn binds her yellow hair.
No bird may build its sheltered nest, ..
In bough with gladdening verdure grown.
But silence dwels a sweeter guest,
When leaves are gone, and birds have flown.
No light eer lay in loved ones eye,
Orpassion on lovers tongue,
As tendery as thoughts will lie
The dimmest memory among
No smiles that rising morn may wear,
Are blest as shades when evening nears;
No wakefulness, however fair,
As beautiful as the sleep of years.

A YOUNG bachelor who lives alone upon far
distant ranch and is a reader of THE CHRONICLE,
writes to ask the following question "Consider-
ing there are SO many more women than men in
the world, do you not suppose, were they allowed
to vote, that they would cause law to be enacted
compelling the old bachelors to support the old
maids? We believe not Such law would need
to be closely followed by "high pressure" en-
forcement act, which would scarcely meet with the
appreciation of women generally in this age of
feminine independence and sef-relance, but If
there might be- goTgl some ursyrittcn law Of chi
varic generosity by which the old bachelors could
be induced to PROPOSE to support the old maids
many chilly corner now occupied by the latter
could be hastily and happily vacated, and numer-
GUS objects of forlornty among the former, now
hanging out upon the ragged edges of discomfort
and misery, might be taken in out of the weather.
Such plan would in all probability prove entirely
may, painfully devoid of romance; yet, as a
sensible old gentleman remarked, just after his
fourth marriage, "There is deal of comfort in
toastng ones toes at ones own 6reside."
AMONG the beautiful theories of life, what one
more attractive than that of the soak and ivy
vine' and who cannot call up before his mental
vision some picture of the past in which the grand
old oak is the central fgure-a magnificent tree,
whose huge trunk, vast and numerous outspread-
ing branches were gorgeousy entwined within the
loving embrace of mass of dark, green leaves,
whose richness and beauty challenged the gaze OF
the passer by, and called forth the admiration OF
the inner eye, as the picture was mentally applied
to the human family. Grand old oak emblematic
of the strength of love and faith and uplifting
devotion implanted within the breast of true man
hood. OH most beautiful vine, so full OF cinging
grace with what tender, loving embrace does it en-
fold its tendrs about the lord of the forest, COW
erng with its cloak of dark green loneliness the
small imperfectons of bark or broken limb. Sure
y this must have been the plan of the Divine In
spiration. Surely such pictures in numbers adorned
the garden of Eden, where Adam was the realistic
ideal suggested by the oak Eve the embodiment OF
all the cnging grace and divine loneliness depicted
