The Fairies Ring.

There's ring outside my window
Where the clover sod Is green.
Just as II the dancing fairies,
Meath the mo0nlights silvery sheen,
Had been holding there their revels
When the night was clear and still;
Circling round beneath my easement,
Singing, dancing as they will.
For you know the lovely fairies
Often visit In the night
All earth's fsirest. brightest places,
Vanishing again ere light;
But little thought they'd visit
Such 3 mortal poor as l..
Though no dearer home than mine Is
Fer was found beneath the sky.
on Eve heard in rhyme and story
How DER England's wales they've moved,
On the Rhine's green banks they murmured
Music that the Germans loved.
Even the fair Emerald Isle was
Loved most dearly by their band,
But whoe'er has seen them venture
To this cold and cherries land!
Did they think, the sprtes so tiny
That I'd dare to write rhyme.
Telling all the world about me
Where they kept their merry time,
Telling where their little footsteps
May be found upon the grass,
Where you'll find their tiny circle
As along my bank you pass.
Alb. what means their mystic comngt
Tells II OF prosperity,
OF some unexpected pleasure!
II Il does, then verify,
will write poem praising
A II their dancing sweet and light,
Blessing ali the goodly fairies
Holding reves gay and bright

Advertised Letters,
A Free Musical Education.

In the May issue Of that excellent musical
magazine the Phiiadelphja Musicol J2urnGi,
the publishers make most generous offer to
give first-cass musical education absolutely
without cost, to the young men and women OF
America who possess talent for music and are
without means to secure for themselves the
necessary instruction to develop that talent.
This is an offer that should not be allowed to
pass uanoticed, and if any OF our readers know
of boy or girl whose one desire in life is to
be perfected in music and who has not the
money to spend for an education, they should
call his or her attention to this opportunity.
BY sending Sl.00 for years subscription, or
10 cents for sample copy, TO the Phaddel-
phid Musical journal, t416 and l4ls Chest
nut Street, Philadelphia, one may learn full
particulars.

the consequent heavy expense there

a remedy for this evil. Just where

The police jury Of the parish of St.
Mary have so cut down fees in Grim
inal cases that no constable cares to
risk his life and wear ont his good
