been playing with my love and that you
were going to marry Mr.. Sharp"
II never wrote it. How lucky did not

others arms.
"But about the letter." said Alice.

swered George.
Miss Talkative had stood by, a happy
spectator, but now her practical sense
showed itself, and she said:
you have both been deceived, undoubt-

Mr.. Jamison take his place in the ceremony
this afuernoon?"
This led to more explanations, and
George almost tainted when he realized
that Sharp had been SO nearly successful
But he did take Sharp's place in the cere-
mony, and that gentleman has never been
seen by either George or Alice from that
day to this

to take letter for me to the South side

tiptoe of expectation.

himself at table and commencing to

quired Miss Talkative, rather taken aback.
YES. now. This instant" said Mr.
Jamison, impatiently. Get your bonnet
on, and this will be ready for you"
Miss Talkative was the personification of
good nature, and though not enchanted at
the idea of trip to the other side of Chi
cago, she proceeded to equip herself with
alacrity. Mr.. Jamison had finished his let

at once handed it to her with some silver

the lips of the desolate man who stood on
the lonely street and looked about him. i.

yellow glow on a peaceful village nest

he paused moment to kick a wandering
and lonesome-looking dog that was shifting
about him in an abjectly inquisitive and
apologetlc manner, and again his voice
rang plalntively out amid the weird soil,

A Valve for ELECTRICITY.

A device which may be of considerable
value is described by NJ. Neyreneuf in the
Journal de Physique as an electric valve, by
means OF which the current can be sent in
one direction but not in the other. With a
voltameter constructed of two aluminium
electrodes, dilute acid as electrolyte, and an
alternating current, he found that pure hy-
drogen was evolved at both electrodes, but
on making up an arrangement with one
electrode of aluminium and one of mercury.
using distilled water as electrolyte, the cur.
rent was found to pass in one direction only.

July-for you the songs are sung
Bysblrds the leafy trees among;
With merry carolings they wake
The meadows at the mornings break,
And through the day the lisplng breeze
Is woven with their tree-top glees.
For you the prattling, pebbly brooks
Are full of tales like story-books.
For you a fragrant incense burns
Within the gardens blossom-urns
Which tempt the. bees to hasten home
With honey for their honey comb.
The river: like looking glass,
Reflects the tleecy clouds that pass,
Until it makes US almost doubt
IT earth and Sky aren't changed about.
July-for you, in silence deep
The world seems fallen fast asleep,
Save on ono glorious holiday,
When all our books we put away
And every little maid and man
Is proud TO be American!
