GIRLS BIRTHDAYS.

An Ancient Astrological Prediction Of
Interest to Lovers.
An old astrological prediction gives the
character of girl according to the month
she is born in, as follows:
If a girl is born in January, she will be a
prudent housewife, given to melancholy,
but good-tempered, and fond Of fine
clothes.
In February, an affectionate wife and
tender mother, and devoted to dress.
If in March, frivolous chatterbox, some
what given to quarreling, and connois-
seur in gowns and bonnets.
If in April, inconstant, not very intelli-
gent, but likely to be good-looking and
studious of fashion plates.
If in May, handsome, amiable, and given
to style in dress.
If in June, impetuous, will marry early,
be frivolous, and like dressy clothes
If in July, possibly handsome, but with a
sulky temper and penchant for gay attire.
If in August, amiable and practical
likely to marry rich and to dress striking
".
II in September, discreet, affable, much
liked, and fashionable dresser.
II in October, pretty ana coquettish, and
devoted to attractive garniture.
II in November, liberal, kind, of mild
disposition, and an admirer of stylish
| dress
II in December, ,proportioned font
Of novelty, and extravaganza and SUDDEN
of dress effect-W H. Siviter, in Harper
| Magazine.

THE OLD CANOE.

Where the rocks are gray and the shore is
steep,
And the waters below look dark and deep;
Where the rugged pine, in its lonely pride,
Leans gloomily over the murky tide;
Where the reeds and rushes are long and lank,
And the weeds grow thick on the winding
bank;
Where the shadow is heavy the whole day
through.
There lies at its mooring the old canoe.
The useless paddles are idly dropped,
Like sea birds wings that the storm has
Topped,
And crossed on the railing, one DER one,
Like the folded hands when the work Is done,
While busily back and forth between
The spider stretches his silvery screen,
And the solemn owl with the dull "too-whoe,'
Settles down on the side Of the old canoe.
The stern half sunk in the gIimy wave,
Rots slowly away on its living grave,
And the green moss creeps DER its dull decay,
Hiding its Wondering days away.
Like the hand that plants DER the tomb a
flower,
Or the ivy that mantles the falling tower;
While many a blossom Of loveliest hue
Springs up DER the stern Of the old canoe.
The currentless waters are dead and still,
The twilight wind plays with the boat at VIII,
And lazily In and out again
II floats the length OF the rusty chain,
Like the weary march Of the hands OF time,
That meet and part with the mountain chime,
And the shore is kissed at each turning anew,
BY the drippling bough OF the old canoe.
Oh! many a time with ceaseless hand
/ have pushed it away from the pebbly strand.
And padded it down where the stream runs
quick,
Where the whirls are wild and the eddies are
thick,
And laughed as learned DER the rocking side,
And looked below in the broken tide,
TO see that the faces and boats were two,
That were mirrored back from the old canoe.
But now, as lean ser the crumbling side,
And look below in the sluggish tide,
The face that see there is graver grown,
And the laugh that hear is sober tone,
And the hands that lent to the light skifl
wings,
Have grown familiar with sterner things,
But love to think OF the hours that sped
AS 1 rocked where the whirls their white
spray shed
Ere the blossom waved or the green grass
grew
Ger the Wondering stern of the old canoe.

Two Hundred and Eighty Year. Of I'm


In 1909, after traversing the Hudson
River from it's mouth to Albany, and care
fully noting tho grandeur and beauty on
either side Of this magnificent highway OF
nature, Hendrick Hudson wrote these
words:
at is Us beautiful land as one can tread upon"
Two hundred and eighty years have mar
velously increased the beauty OF the great
river called by his name, and could he re-
turn to the scenes of his manhood, ne
would find many more lovely sights
than those upon which his eyes rested
In the early part of the seventeenth
century. Tho natural beauties Of the
Hudson are much the same, and no
description can exaggerate them; out the
| magnificent steamers that ply between New
York and Albany, the innumerable sailing
| craft that dot the surface Of the mighty
river, the neverending clusters OF canal
boats that arc being lowed up and down,
she beautiful villas that one encounters at
| every turn, the magnificent monuments,
perpetuating heroic deeds, that we find here
and there along the banks OF this noblest
| river of the continent, add an endless va
| riety to the scenery, and reslstless charm
to the eye of the traveller.
The Now York Central and Hudson River
Railroad runs along the bank of the Hudson
river the entire distance between New York
and Albany, and is the great Trunk Line
that connects the metropolis of the Western
| world with the famous health and pleasure
resorts of Central, Northern and Western
| New York, including in it's list the Catskill
Mountains, Saratoga, Lake George, Sharon
| aud Richfield Springs, Lake Ontario, the
! Berkshire Hills, Niagara Falls, the Thou
! sand Islands, Lake Champain, the st.
| Lawrence, and hundreds of others.
The New York Central is q part of the
| great national highway across the CONT
nent, and for the beauty of it's scenery, the
humber and Importance of the cities through
=, which it passes, it's almost total lack OF
! grades and curves, this great four-track
railway is unsurpassed in Europe or Amer
