"TOO Much Turkey.o

In conversation with Mr.. F. o. Car

Herald, Mrs Grant relates one of Bis
marck's grim witticisms. The general
and Mrs. Grant, while at Berlin, were
shown by Bismarck the war chamber,
where the commission to settle the
terms of the Russo-Turkish peace was
then sitting. Said Mrs. Grant:
The chamber was empty at the time,
and he pointed out the chairs in which
the different commissioners sat, show
ing me his chair, that of Beaconsfield
and others. AS he did so l asked him
what it was all for, and he looked at
me evidently very much surprised at

SMILING LOVE.

From the Spanish of Francisco dc Boris q
Esquilache.1
When bright and gay the waters roll
In crystal rivers to the sea,
Midst shining pearls they take, my soul,
Their sweetest, loveliest smile from thes,
And when their dimpling currents flow
They initiate thy laughing brow.
When morning from his dusky bed
AwalScs with cold and slumbering eye,
Ere vet he wears his tints Of red
He looks to see if thou art nigh
To offer thee diadem
OF every ruby, every gem.
When spring leads on the joyous sun,
He brightens on thy eyes and takes
A nobler luSter. When the dun
And darksome April first awakes
And gives his better smiles to May,
He keeps for thee his fairest day.
Uhere are some idle bards who dream
That they have seen, with raptured eyes,
The smiling field, the dimpled stream,
And (strangc dcceit) the laughing skies.
My Sylvia, field nor stream nor sky
Fer smiled but when thy smile was nigh.

there. If you wish your hair
to retain its normal color, or
if you wish to restore the lost
tint of gray or faded hair use
