smile, that, like an opening flower, re-

Nearer she bent her queenly form and still
more near-now her perfumed breath

And, woe is me! in that kiss, more dead

death, were forgotten Isis, my Heavenly
HOPE, Oaths, Honor, Country, Friends, all
things save that Cleopatra clasped me In
her arms and called me Love and Lord.

''pledge me one cup of wine in token of thy

Then sight left me; and in my ears l only
heard the song of the nightingale, the muir

A Pleasure for q Child.

Blessed % the hand that prepares a pleas.
ure for a child, for there is nc saying when
and where it may again bloom forth. Does
not almoste every body remember some kind
hearted man who showed him a kindness in
the quiet days of his childhood The writer
of this recollects himself at this moment as
a barefooted lad standing at the wooden
fence of a poor little garden In his own
native village. With longing eyes he
gazed on the flowers that were blooming
there quietly in the brightness Of a Sun
day morning. The possesso- came forth
from his little cottage; he wa a wood
cutter by trade, and spent the whole week
at his work in the woods. He was come
into his garden to gather flowers to stick In
his coat when he went to church. He saw
the boy. and, breaking OF the Nest beauti-
full of his carnations-it was streaked with
red n white-gave it to him Neither the
giver nor the receiver spoke q word; and
with bounding steps the boy ran home.
And now, here at a vast distance from that
hcnae, after so many events Of so many
years, the feeling of gratitude which agi-
tated the breast of that boy expresses it
self on paper. The ~carnation has long since
wtthered, but now it blooms afresh.-E. Y

andnightis but another name for-noise. h
approach of shutdown is announced by the
cicada, which, after q preliminary noise like
the winding Of a clock, sends forth into the
air a long shrlll sound like the whistle of a
locomotive. From all directions the strange
note shrieks in different keys, recalling the
farod Carlisle Of Chaplain, and waking
thoughts of 'home'' in the strangers heart.
The 'tcigarra,'' as it is called in Brazil, Is an
immense brown beetle, about four or five
inches long, with large and beautifully
transparent wings. 1t flies rapidly from
tree to tree, and rarely utters its unmelo-
dious note except ats undown, on account OF
which fact it has received from the English
the appropriate name of 'sthe SIX o'clock ex-
press" So wonderfully close is the resem-
blance that in districts where they abound
1t has been found necessary SO to vary the
locomotive whistle as to distinguish it from
the note of the cicada- No sooner lay the

sinks in a splendor undreamed of in the cold
north, even by our most Imaginative. artist,

rivaled or rather surpassed. At times the
sun presents exactly the appearance Of a
globe of fire; blood-red and almost terrible
in its b%rilliancy, it lights up the sky with a
crimson glory, bringing out into marvellous
relief whatever stands out against the
horizon, it may be the waving branches Of
the coco palm or the long hart's-tongue-
shaped leaves Of the banana. Rapidly
