AMONG THE FLOWERS.

] strayed am ong the flowers one sunny morn,
When nature was all decked in faIrest guise;
i saw among the beauties one forlorn,
flower dying meath the fairy skies
1t was lovely rose OF purest white,
Too sweet and fair to prematurey die;
But softly then heaTd the zephyrs sigh,
The petals scattered in oblvious night.
The memory of the pretty waxen rose
Was cast and golden morning passed to noon.
My rambe then among the flowers must close;
Those happy hours fieeting all too soon.
Alas sweet flowers that glad the heart and eye
Ye bud and bloom and then, like mortals, die.

THE IMPRISONED SONG.

Oh, for the song to gush forth strong
From the harp of mnstrelsyi
OBJ. for the song imprisoned long
To soar cut joyous and freeI
The strain is bound in chords Of sound,
And in chains OF melody.
Where shall be found the master renowned
To give 1t its liberty?
Where Is the hand at whose command
The glorious notes shall wake,
Whose music grand shall food the land
When their time-forged letters breakf
No one can say where he doth stay,
The master W no tarries late:
Yet he, one day, shall pass that way,
And unbar the close-slut gate.
Then the song shall rise to the azure skies,
Where the sun and star beams glisien;
With wondering eyes, in mute surprise,
The world enthraIied shall listen.
Its voice shall soar from shore to shore,
And where'er dwells humankind,
Forever and foreyermore
Its spell all hearts shall bind.

"BEWARE TRY FRIEND"

Thou'd best beware thy "friend!"~
For few are true;
He who puts trust In men
Shall bitter rue
Plety oft is made the cloak
or men, who well deserve the convict's yoke.
Fear more thy bosom friend than deadliest foe
Ere yet thy trust In him has laid thee low.
Thine enemy is thine In open truth:
Thy friend may stab thee In the back, forsooth.
Trust none, thyself the least OF all;
Too much self-confdence precedes fall.
And when we fall,
Our friends are first to turn
And trample in the dust the wretched worm.
friendship thy name is mockery.
Thou doest but mask
Beneath that name.
That Understanding title is oft breath.
An air. vapor. Lol its gone
And we are left, poor fools,
To bear the brunt OF scorn. POLLY.

NATURE AND ART.
FROM THE FRENCH.

Nature, more than art, to me
Hath JOYS yielded that still hold;
Naught so sweet in minstrelsy
AS the winds broad sweep. and bold
Perfumes that the artisan
Fashioned in bygone day
Cannot charm my senses in
Measure like the new-mown hays
And my lady, proud and fair,
From your canvas looking down,
Cannot in my thoughts compare
With yon peasant-maiden brown.
Yet the wind, the new-mown hay,
And the peasant-maiden's kiss,
Are the creatures of day
Fitting well 4 scene like this.
But the minstrers song will charm
When the wind is drifting snow,
And my lady's dimpled arm
From the painted canvas glow
When the peasants wrinkled face
DER her grandehild's cot is bent,
VIII ere the dried grass finds place.
Soothing, but devoid of scent.
EENvoI.
Memory Thou art the Mage
That hath made those passing Joys
Bearer than these fashioned toys
Yes with thee Time cannot wagei
While thou still remaineth true
Those old joys are fresh and new.

Lines on an Italian tomb tone.

RELISHES FOR LUNCHEON.
They Are Essential and Should Be Served
s in an Attractive Style.

xncY are ESSentIal ana SnOuIu De served
t,.- in an Attractive Style.
The midday meal of the household is
zoo often matter of Indifference to the
housekeeper, and frequently consists of
any thing left over, or is composed of
ingredients which injure the stomachs
of growing children. This should not
be so.v Quite as much attention and
care should be given the preparation of
this meal as any other. Heavy soups,
hot dishes, rich salads, pastry and Gus
tards should not appear on the lunch
table; but in cold weather a simple
broth or cup of bouillon is always ao-
ceptable. A well made warm dish or a
stew, with vegetable salad, waters,
cheese and fruits will be all sufficient
for family lunch.
Relishes are essential on the lunch
table, and should be served in as attrac-
tive style as possible; they should be
varied from day to day. With cold
meats, picked walnuts, sweet peaches
and pear pickles, scraped horse-radish,
walnut, tomato or mushroom catsups
and sliced lemons, will be found ac-
ceptable. Radishes, young onions and
crosses are excellent relishes, while
picked oysters, salmon, salted ancho-
vies, German sardeleon and sardines
will tempt the appetite of the most
dainty.
A little thought given to these sub
jects will enable every housekeeper,
with very little additional trouble, to
contribute very greatly to the comfort

The Value of Hot Milk.

1t is worthy of reflection that milk
heated to as high a temperature as it
can be drunk or slipped, above one hun
dred degrees, but not to the boiling
point, is of great value as refreshing
stimulant in cases of over-exertion, bod
lily or mental. To most people who like
milk it does not taste so good hot, but
that is a small matter compared to the
benefit to be got from it. Its action is
exceedingly prompt and grateful, and
the effects much more satisfactory and
far more lasting than those of any alco-
holic drink whatever. 1t supplies real
strength as we'll as exhilaration, which
alcohol never does.-Louisville Courier.
