WHERE SHE COMES.
Bx CHARLES i. GOING.

IN. /. "
With heavy elders oyerhuns,
HALF hid in clover masses
An Old fence ranbles on, among
The tangled meadow-grasses.
It makes shade for 1ady-fern.
Which nestles close beside it,:
while cIematis, at every turn,
And roses almost hide it.
In shade of overhanging sprays !.
Ana down sunny hollow, q, :
BY hazel-copse, and woodland ways
The winding fence follow;
BY rose, and thorn, and fragrant.dew,
In search OF something sweeter-
The orchard gap where she comes through
And go down to meet her!
The sunlight slants across the fence,
Where lichens gray it over,
And stirs hundred dreamy scents
From fern and mint, and clover;
But though the air is sweet to-day,
i know OF something sweeter:
That she can only come this way,
And am sure to meet her,
And so, while chipn,unks run match
To tell the wrens who's coming,
And all across the brier patch
There sounds drowsy humming--
The hum OF honey seeking bees
seek for something sweeter:
gap among the apple trees,
Where am going to meet her.

Admitted to the Bar.

Not long since I happened to meet a
young man who had just been admitted
to the bar, and he called attention to
the fact by saying, We'll, I've got my

"Glad to hear it; wish you every sue

That afternoon the young man came
into my sanctum. "Look here" said
he, ut occurred to me that you might

would mention it in your paper"
"Oh, no; I had no such thought, I

bad form to be eternally button holing
some newspaper man to get q puff out

meditatively, sit doesn't do young man
any harm to have his name before the

Our summer Outing.

Fifty years ago yearly hegira TO
the seaside and the hills was almost
unknown in New England. Now the
Atlantic coast is lined with pleasure
resorts, while the entertainment of
summer boarders has become an i'm

| districts.
The hygienic benefit of this annual
outing is great. It's mere rest is akin
In efficacy to the restorative power of

pleasure, rayidly uses up nerye-fofce.
LII health is to be maintained, such ex-
penditure of force must befollowed BY
periods of renewal.
In our Northern States there is am
almost uncomfortable tendency to ex-
cesslve activity, even to the point Of.
nervous exhaustion, and no people
have more need to take every year a,
few weeks of absolute rest than the
people in our commercial and indus
trial centers.
But summer outing affords more

roundlngs help to lift the mind out of
the deep rut of thought and care.
Change OF air is another good result
OF the summer vacation. Sea air and
mountain air are exceedingly differens

immediately conscious of the physical
influence OF the change. AS general

Getting Two Lessons in Half am Hour.

Getting Two Lessons i'm Half an Hour.
A Maine boy, who is now Professor
in one of our New England Colleges,
used to teach town schools while fitting
himself for his university course. One
strapping great girl, woman grown,
caused him considerable trouble, be-
cause of her indifference to the beauties
OF education in general and "gogerfry"
In particular, for which neglect he
caused her to put in considerable time
after school in making up. 1t reached
the teachers ears one day that this maid
had declared to an admiring group that
she wouldn't have her lesson on that
afternoon, and if the teacher kept her
after school, he would have the privi-
lege of sitting up one night with her
at any rate before she would make the
lesson up. This idea caused much ex-
element among the pupils, who are
usually ready to enjoy a.teacher's dis
comfture.
When the session ended the other
pupils fingered about with an air of ex-
pectancy to see the outcome of matters.
The teacher politely showed them out
OF the room, however. and then went
in and shut the door. There sat the
damsel with her arms defantly folded
and her book closed on the desk before
her. The pedagogue cordially invited
her to open her book and begin opera
tions, but this had no effect whatever.
All right, said he. taking out his
watch, I'll give you just thirty minutes
to get that lesson, and if it is not ready
at the end of that time I'll take you
across my knee and give you one of the
most comprehensive, unabridged and
able-bodied spankings that have occur
red since Julius Caesar was an infant
Then he took q chair with his back to
the enemy. Surprise, modification,
tears and sobs ensued, but at the end of
the half hour the lesson had been
learned two lessons, probably

In Ireland only one shamrock is
known, says the american Notes and
Queries. It is an Indigenous species
of clover, which trails along the ground
among the grass in meadows. The ire
foil leaves are not more than one fourth
the size of the smallest clover I have
seen in America, and are pure green in
color, without any of the brown shad-
ing of white and pink clovers. The
creeping stem is hard and fibrous, and
is difficult to dislodge from the earth.
On st. Patrick's Day the true sham
rock has to be searched out among the
grass, for, though comparatively plen-
tiful at that season, it grows close to
the ground. Later it bears tiny
"whity-brown" blossom. The infor-
nation that shamrakh is the Arabic
word for trefoil may be of service to
those interested in the origin of the
Irish race. The word could have been
introduced by the Milesians, or it may
furnish an argument in support of the
contention that one of the lost ten
tribes of Israel settled in Ireland,
which has been revived by the publ.
cation of q recent book.
