MORAN WATER.

n Noron, hon, ca. .bo. s,
By heath clad hills, alone, unseen,
Save where the lonely eagles glance
Surveys thee from its crag serene.
Forever joyos thou dost seem,
Still Sportive as a child at play, =
Who, lost in pleasures careless dream,
Makes merry music all the day.
By fairy hooks see thee flow,
Nor pausing in thy artless song
Till where the fir trees spreading low
Obscure thy stream their arms among.
There, sweet amid the shady gloom,
Thou hearst the blackbird chant his lay,
Thou see'st the pale primroses bloom.
And silent ling'rest on thy way;
Then forth thy waters dazzling come
Where sweet brier scents the balmy breezz
And where the wild bees softly hum
Faint echo of thy harmonies.
Green spiky gorse thy banks adorn,
Gold tassel'd broom thy fringe work weave.
While feathered choirs from dewy morn
Make melody till dewy eve.
Then on by pleasant farms that breathe
OF calm contentment's happy cline,
Or laughing where the ivys wreath
Clings round the ruins Of olden time.
And on where stately mansions rise,
Or lowly CLEANS the cottage hearth;
Unchanged thy smile still meets the skies,
Unchanged still rings thy song of mirth.

A Death Scene Spoiled.

Grace Hawthorne, who was formerly.
in small way, known to the dramatic
newspapers as Grace Cortland, was play
Ing Camille one night at Aurora, Ills.
The property man of the company had
formerly lived in that town, and while the
last act was on he stood in the wings
talking over old times with some of the
resident stage hands. So engrossed did
he become that he forgot where he was.
The doctor of the play entered, took
Camille by the land and spoke his line,
"Ah, Camille, you are very ILL.," The
dying woman was about to make answer
tthe house being hushed as death) when
the property man was distinctly heard to
exclaim:
'sYahl Wat yer givin' me?''
The result of that awkward break
was simply ruin, SO far as the perform
ance was concerned, and Camille was
obliged to postpone her death until the
next night.-Detroit Free Press.
