ONLY A RELIC DIMM'D With EARS.
Ave, only a relic dimm'd with tears

Aye, only relic dimm'd with tears
The winter day is dying,
And memories Of youths loving years
Come with the night winds signing.
A token of love of bygone days,
When life was bright, unshaded;
The thought of one with the lover stays;
The golden dreams have faded.
In the mist of swift advancing years
The dreams of youth are hidden:
The relic is diulm'd with bitter tears
The tears which come unbidden
But the world is short-time quickly flies
And heavy tears of sorrow
VIII be forgotten meath the skies
OF that blest day-to-morrow.

How Nickels and Pennies --4e Made.
The copper used in the manufacture of PEN
mics is Of the very best quality. The metal IS
shipped in bulk from the mines to the factor
les of Merchant & Co., in Connecticut. There
it is rolled and stamped out in circles Of the
requisite size. These circles are perfectly
plain, with the exception of the raised or
milled edge. At this stage the pieces intended
for pennies are as bright as gold pieces, while
those intended for nickels resemble highly
polished silver. In this condition they are
delivered to the mint. OF course, it is abso-
lutely necessary that all the pieces should be
of uniform size and weight. The transfer
from the factory to the mint is made and the
number of pieces in package is reckoned by
its weight
To find out how MANY small coins the
amount of nickel and copper contracted for
at present will make, multiply the number
of pounds Of copper by 100 and the number
Of pounds of nickel by seventy This calcu-
lation will show that the metal now about to
be made up into coin will make about 81, 600
nickels and 100000 pennies. One hundred
pennies, therefore, weigh exactly one pound.
When these pieces reach the mint they are
subjected to the finishing process, which con-
sists in stamping them with the denomina-
ton, lettering and characters seen on the
coins when they reach the public. To ac-
complish this, great pressure is needed, as
the pieces are not heated again after leav-.
ing the factory. The amount of pressure re-
quired is simply enormous, considering the
size of the pieces. The copper pennies require
pressure of ten tons avoirdupois, while with
the nickel piece it is necessary to put on a
pressure of from twelve to fifteen tons.-St.

THE MAIDEN A.o TIE FISH.

- There are fish in the sea quite as good, sasl
the maid,
As any that ever were caught,
And plentiful, too; and so greedy Of bait
That they reck not with what it is fraughts
30 saying, she handled her rod IS she sat
In the shade by the side Of the brook,
And smilinxly pused, as she drew forth her fine
And craftily baited her hook,
And gazed at the fishes that thronged at her feet
In the water there sporting in glee.
As if pleased to be drawn, by a hand fair as harA
From their home In the far away sea-
Thus time glided on, and the maid and the fish
Passed their days in pleasant routine,
For the maid was amused by the fishes so fond,
And the fish deemed the maiden their queen.
Yet dallied the maiden, with seeming delight,
And laughed-as she danged the bait
Just a little too high for the fishes to reach
At their many vain efforts to bite.
But after while. with this trifing maid
The fish grew impatient and said
There may be other fish, bUt-there'S other good
bait
And away they all hurriediy sped
Now pondered the maiden awhile, with regret
Ger the change which she saw in her fate,
Then called to the vanishing fishes, Come back"
But the fish only answered, 'Too late.''
Then "Alas." sighed the maid. 'there are fish in
the sea;
But in sorrow this lesson Tn taught
That, however SO good they may be. there are
When fish will refuse to be caught"

a siXteen-year-old girl and siI-year-old girl
were discovered about 100 yards above the

THE PLANTATION SCHEME.
IL l. Said to be Meeting with Some Sue
cess In Ireland.

LONDON, June 2l-According TO the Dublin
correspondent Of the Standard, the "Planta-
ton Scheme" organized to oppose the plan Of
campaign, Is meeting with some success in Ire
land. This 10 an organized plan for settling
upon farms from which the tenants have been
evicted and which are boycotted under the
plan Of campaign, settlers brought from Ulster
for that purpose. This correspondent states
that a. result Of the operation Of the planta-
ton scheme on the Masserene estate in Louth,
the plan Of campaign has been practically
abandoned, although started by Mr. John Dill
Ion, N. p, In person, q work for which he spent
several months in Dundalek Jail.
There were twenty-one tenants to be evicted,
but at the first house visited by the sheriff the
tenant paid years rent and pleaded for time
to pay the balance. There were no evictions
carried out, as the other tenants came forward
in the same way aud made offers which the
agent accepted. II is claimed that the prompt
ness with which the tenants made their settle
ments was due entirely to the fact that it was
known to them that arrangements had been
completed for giving over all evicted farms to
settlers from Ulster. All, therefore, paid sub
stantial sums by way of installment Of arrears
and they were allowed TO remain in possession.
