WHEN POLLY GOES BY.

IT'S but poorly I'm lodged in little side street.
Which is seldom disturbed by the hurry of feet,
For the flood tide Of life long ago ebbed away
From its homely old houses, rainbeaten and
gray;
And sit with my pipe in the window and sigh
At the Bullets Of fortune-till Polly goes BY.
There's Haunting of ribbons, furry Of lace,
And q rose in the bonnet above bright face,
glance from two eyesso deliciously bIne
The midsummer seas scarcely rival their hue:
And once in awhile, II the winds blowing high,
The sound of soft laughter as Polly goes BY.
Then up jumps my heart and begins to beat
fast,
"she's comingl" 1T whispers. "she's here. She
has passed."
While throw up the sash and lean breathlessly
down
To catch the last glimpse of her vanishing gown,
Excited, delighted, yet wondering why
Ny senses desert me II Polly goes by.
All! she must be q witch, and the magical spell
She has woven about me has done its work well,
For the morning grows brighter, and gayer the
afr
That my landlady sings as she sweeps down the
stair,
And my poor lonely garnet, up close to the sky,
Seems something like Heaven when Polly goes
by. Century,

One of the most striking scenes ID

of his eyes. In q blue book recently
published concerning the deaf and

been stone deaf all her life became,
when sixty years old. blind also, which
is quite as strange reading. The place
was a country town, Ludlow in Shrop.
shire. and the mayor. the rector and
the chief medical men were present, to
witness that every thing was done
above-board and without collision.
"A copy Of the will lay before the
deaf blind lady and myself. and an
other copy was before the gentleman
sitting in the seat corresponding with
your lordships. 1 began spelling on
her hand with perfect silence one sem
tence. She turned to the lady on her
right and spelt on both her hands the
sentence that had just repeated to
her. That lady, having nothing before
hcr. repeated aloud what presumably
i had said to the blind lady and what
certainly the blind lady had said to
her, and the ofIicial gentlemen at the
other end saw that they were actually
the very words in the will before them.
So it went on. She stopped me in one
place and said not q thousand q hun
dred, showing that she knew the value
Of numerals; and she willed away the
whole Of her property with perfect
accuracy. She left portion of it. and
very substantial portion of it. to the
very persons who had desired to keep
it from her and they were her blood
relations. She left one hundred pounds
to the institution whose head master
helped her to make such will. That
was the last time that saw her. The
will was contested by the relations.

Invalids.
Sad mistakes are made by hundreds
of well-meaning people in their method
OF administering nourishment to In
valids. It is the custom to keep the
delicacies intended to tempt their APP
petites constantly within their reach.
The result is, that instead of feeling
any desire for the jellies, broths, etc.,
thus obtruded upon their notice. the
sight OF them creates loathing and dis
gust Sick people should never be
haunted with food in this way. Even
persons in health would lose their
relish for choice dishes If condemned
