HIS LAST JOKE,

The murderer sat in his dingy cell.
B.ithe and happy was he;
There vas but a few hours before he'd
swing
Into eternity.
As he sat there thinking OF mother dear,
He thought he'd pen a line:
So TO play his last joke. Dear mother"
he wrOle,
I'm hang around here some time"
He was a deep villain, and in cold blood,
Had carved his neighlbor Green;
wurst
In old Lucogert's machine.
He was tried, convicted and ordered
hung.
For such a shocking crime;
So TO play his last joke, Dear mother
he wrote,
III hang around here some time"
In conclusion he penned these truthful
words:
This country is sublime;
The people here are attached to me
and,
"Will keep me here some time.
Il long to get home, but l cant's star,
yet,
I'll have TO wait and pine,
so TO please me, don't wait. for me at
the gate,
For I'll hang around here some time

had never before supposed that they in
du lged in late suppers, though it may be
one of their mos common habits.
The oft repeat ed affectation, 81 do not
read NOVELS may be a virtuous pretence;
but there are worse things than a good
novel! do not read them before folks
"don't have tor but in order to have no
open rupture with this kind of life it is
necessary that there shall be no idle mo-
ments in any wakeful hour, either the
hand or eye should be employed at all
times, otherwise there mi ght be civil war
amongst the most feeble mental forces.
Lately, being in want of diversion, hunt
ed up some old books, and without inten-
tional malice toward myself happened to
strike upon those now almost classic,
sorry, fearful, sore throat tales, Paul and
Virginia, The Scarlet Letter, and Char
lotte Temple; cheerful tripets, indeed!

There is new book called ''Drops of
Spray from Southern Seas which is tru-
ly interesting. 1t is not IA novel but
novelty;-a true tale written by a Maine
! captains daughter. 1t is a story of her
life, and though still young woman her
life's story is more than worth reading.
She was twice around the world, besides
many ''cross voyages Her mother died
at sea, the story Of which is most pathet-
ic. On the vessels where she sailed there
was death, birth, shipwreck among cant
balls, and many other remarkable occur
rences. 1t is written, throughout, in an
easy, unaffected style, and, touching
family affairs, it is most amusingly naive.
The book was particularly interesting to
me from the fact that | well knew all the
vessels that she sailed on and very many
of the people that she mentions meeting
in her travels. The authoress, herself
or her father do not know. She makes
some SMALL charming mistakes, which
only sailor would notice, and which
prove that, though keen and intellec-
tual she never became that mansh
woman who knows a ship too well. She

by man, these mistakes would ruin it,
but coming from the mind and pen of
young girl, they only lend charm to we'll

Our trade winds gave up in about
latitude 120, and the temperature trac-

torrents of rain and scorching sun,
with only Gains and squalls, we suf-

from Portland. Our fruit and vege-
tables came out in most excellent order,
while a similar cargo in another YES

The Path Across the Fields.

Around me was the beauty
Which only summer yields,
The shadow Of the woodland,
The bounty of the fields,
The CLEAN of shining waters,
The murmur of the sea-
The varied book of Nature,
All opened wide for me!
Amid these scenes of beauty
spied pathway there,
All tlowerless and dusty,
All hard and brown and bare.
No dainty gown swept over,
No foot in dalliance strayed
Along the narrow limit
The tread of Toll had made.
But weary men and women
At morn and eve did pass
Beside the way unshaded,
Amid the sunburnt grass.
Their step was slow and heavy,
Their garments bore the soil
OF the hard worlds grim work-day-
They walked the way of Toll.
So close against our pleasure
Is the undertone of Care,
OF those who, all unsheltered,
The heat and burden bear.
And the fair summer memory
Sweet harvest to Inc yield,
Yet ever lives the picture.
Of the path across the fields!
