BLOSSOM RAIN.
Roses of Heliogabalus indeedl
Imperial within imperially rehearsed
By one in wanton reyelry well versed,
Unheard of luxury whose only creed
OF such Csesarian freaks I'm not in need,
For since week, when cherry blossoms burst,
Followed by creamy pear bloom almost first,
But never quite, with apples to succeed.
Even as work sweet blossoms all the day
Lightly descend upon me from the trees,
Flying about in merry jocund play,
Waited by every lightsome gust and breeze,
Like fragrant snow they downward softly

COMMITS FROM NY GARDEN.
WEDDING.

WEDDING
Wlttia all your labor and your anxious care
TO clean the ground from too luxuriant weed,
You shall not altogether quite succeed,
But haply leave some standing here and there.
You hardly know is it a tendrilled tare
Or hydra headed grounsel whose fell speed
To grow and blossom and to turn to seed
Might whiten any decent head of hair.
But some fine day as down the path you go
You shall behold yellow cornflower bright
Or in between dull potato row
A radiant sunfiower turning to the light,
Or lonely poppy, flaming on waste land
The weed not at all, but let some few still
stand.

lie Met His Match.

He was all that's brave and manly.
He had emulated Stanley and had trav-
ersed wilds where white man ne'er
had set his foot before. He just gloried
in battle, for he loved to hear the rat
tie of the bullets and the sounding of
tho cannon's deadly roar.
He would fight a hundred people. He
would climb the highest steeple, though
he knew by that rash act he was court
ing certain death. He would face rag
ing tiger, he would swim the turbid
Niger, and he'd walk up to cannon s
mouth and never bate his breath.
There was nothing that could scare
him. He ventured ia the harem of the
widest, flercest pasha that ser lived on
Turkeys coast. Ia graveyard he had
wandered late at night, and there had
pondered If it would be his fortune just
to see real ghost.
He was brave beyond all question.
There had ne'er been suggestion that
the stories OF his boldness were not
made mp of tho truth; but, alas, his
courage failed him when a rotten molar
allied him, for no didn't have the nerve

Algol, tho Mystery of the skies.

Algol, "the variable star of the con-
stellation of Parseus," is regarded
among astronomers as the greatest mys-
terry of the heavens. Its light usually
remains constant and uniform for q
period of from IS to co hours 1t then
commences TO gradually fade from view,
and ia less than four hours diminishos
TO an insignificant point of light After
remaining in state of semiobscuration
for n period Of time, varying from l 8 to
80 minutes, it again regains its former
brilliancy. Astronomers believe that
some largo dead and dark world reyolves
between as and Algol, but this is the
disputed point, mystery which will,
in all probability, never be satisfactorily
explained. st. Louis Republic.

Old Ocean Il Tearing Away the EngiisI
Coast by the Rod.
The fat marshes Of Pevensey have
gained half mile since the days OF Ed
ward H. whom the sea almost washed
the walls OF the castle that now stands
high and dry inland. The same thing
has happened on the Romney flats,
where the ancient castle Of Lympne has
receded mile or more. Such spots az
these look as though the next spring tide
would add their grassy meadows TO the
lost ground of sea bottom. But on the
rocky parts of the Antrim coast we have
the sea slowly working its way inland,
despite the rock Notifications and stony
intrenchments that look so resistless
Under the waves lie tracts of bogland
that once upon time must have stood
we'll in shore, and Dunluce bears wit
ness TO the ravages hat have taken place
within few centuries, few ticks OF
the clock us goologists count time
The sea, ever washing and tearing at
its foundations, one day broke down a
considerable part Of the castle, and sew
eral persons were killed by the catas-
trophe. This was in the days when
Dunluce was held by other tenants than
the birds Then home and a strong
hold, now but memento of past JOY
and glory.
Another marked example of the inse-
curity of rock defcnses where the sea is
the invader occurs at Filey, on the
Yorkshire coast. Only 20 years ago
there was pathway running around the
ancient church of st. Hilda, which is
built on tho solid rock. Now this is so
broken away on the seaward side that
il is impossible Another 20 years may
see the church undermined. --Argosy.
