urJH williams, of Norristown, COM
- that southern poetess rhymes corn"
pa "gone." Wei, that's correct; that's
ID rhyme where the poem was written and
.Sa outbor can't be responsible for the vagarles
.,rrnciation all over America. In the |
~ of the cypress and myrtle, where they
l' acoann and "goan," what is the matter
-, making them rhyme? Now in the en-
..;ro Of Arkansas if poet should write,
he asked you TO give him kiss, did her
,.--1,ld trouble his New England collabora-
tor 70 end the next line of the couplet with

and correctly on with,
No longer than jst yistiddy.
g. also, the poet daown in Varmaount can
-.vme ssloss" with "horse' and "calf" with
a.rough." Moreover, any poet i'll the republic
ontsjde of Pennsylvania, inditing an ode to a
well known railway III that state, would make
araadingn rhyme with "bleeding," but the
raonIe who live on the line of the road would
rse bedding" They do, too; the old fash
;oned Pennsylvania Dutch kind, one feather
nod to sleep on, and three to cover with.) You
see the poet, dear Williams, rhymes by ear
and rot by sight.
THE OLD AND THE NEW.

In behalf of the young people Of this genera

understand it, must have been dreary affair.

COMMENCEMENT IS OVER.
The country, and incidentally the universe,
IS safe for another year. We have been IN
great peril, but our danger has been pointed
out, and not only so, but the way to safety
has at the same time been so clearly indicated
that the wayfaring man, though Mug
Hyllrnp. need not err therein. An abyss of
friobtf1l depth las lowered above us. over
shadowing all this fair land with the deadly
blight of its malarial breath in accents that
chilled the heart with the Upas like touch of
its basili~k glance, that echoed from sea to
shore. But yon have saved us, my boy: you
and your fellows have Snatched us from this
living grave, whose hungry breakers dashed
their binding spray and wreathed their
angry flames in lurid tongues about our feet.

have told us of "I'he Peris of the Republic;"
"The Labor Probem;" "The Duty of the
Hour;" The Decay of Patriotism" "Work

that beset our path you have shown US; but
you have also guided US into paths of safety.
You have told us OF "The Only Way to Good
Government" The Safety of the Republics"

4 BIT OF SCIENCE.
The male wasp, the naturalist tells us, never
stngs. But so long as he and his sister are
twins and dress exactly alike this bit Of
knowledge availeth nothing to the careless
man who does not know it is the lady who is
approaching him, until it be that she smiteth
him with her hustle. What humanity de-
mandS of science in the case of the wasps is
the invention Of some prompter method of
distinguishing between Monsieur and Madam
Wazzle at forty yards.
THE LITTLE ONE.
The little tot ring baby feet,
With faltering steps and slow,
With pattering echoes soft and sweet
Into nay heart they go;
They also go, in grmy plays,
In muddy pools and dusty ways,
Then through the house in trackfuI maze
They wander to and fro.
The baby hands that clasp my neck
With touches dear to me,
Are the same hands that smash and wreck
The inkstand foul to see;
They pound the mirror with a cane
Ihey rend the manuscript in twain,
widespread destruction they ordain
In wasteful jubilee
Inc dreamy, murn ring baby voice
mat coos its little tune,
11al makes my listening heart rejoice
Like birds in leafy June,
Gan wake at midnight dark and still,
ana all the air with bowling fill,
14at splits the ear with echoes shril
Like comets out of tune
Brooklyn Eagle.
