Inconvenience of Child Marriage.

Inconvenience of Child Marriage.
A marriage took place the other day,
the parties being a Bhattla widower OF
about forty and Bhattia girl Of about
nine. The disparity in age is rather
startling, and it was aggravated by
other circumstances; for instance, the
widower has daughter Of about eight
cen, as teacher at school, Of which
her father Is honorary manager, and
his girl wife Of nine is a pupil at the
school under his daughter Of eighteen.
The first thing the girl wife Of nine did
on marrying was to demonstrate with
her daughter Of eighteen as to how
she. her mother, could possibly sit at
school on the bench while the daughter
taught her from a chair. What Is the
poor daughter to do? She must give
up her appointment as school mis-
tress. or her dear mother Of nine must
give up attending school. 1t is for the
father and husband to declde.-Ind!an

Come Into the Garden. Maude.

Come Into the Garden. Maude.
Come into the garden, Maud,
For the black bat, night, has flown!
Come into the garden, Maud,
/ am here at the gate alone:
And the woodbine spices are waited
abroad,
And the musk of the roses blown.
For a breeze Of morning moves,
And the planet Of Love is on nigh,
Beginning to faint in the light that she
loves,
On a bed Of daffodil sky:
To faint in the light of the sun that she
loves.
To faint in its light ard to die.
All night have the roses heard
The flute, violin, bassoon;
All night has the easement jessamine
stirred
To the dancers dancing in tune,
Till a silence fell with the waking bird,
And a hush with the setting moon.
I said to the lily, There Is but one
With whom she has heart to be gay.
When will the dancers leave her alone?
She is weary of dance and play
Now half to the setting moon are gone,
And half to the rising day;
Low on the sand and loud on the stone
The last whe el echoes away.
I said to the rose. THE brief night goes
In babble and revel and wine,
Oh, young lord-lover, what signs are
those
For one that will never be thine.
But mine, but mine" SO l sware 10 the
rose,
For ever and ever mine!"
And the soul of the rose went into my
blood,
AS the music clashed in the hall;
And long by the garden lake l stood,
For l heard your rivuiet fall
From the lake of the meadow, and on to
the wood.
Our wood, that is dearer than all!
From the meadow your walks have left
so sweet
That whenever a March wind sighs.
He sets the jewel-print Of your feet,
In violets as blue as your eyes,
To the woody hollows in which we meet.
And the valleys of Paradise.
The slender acacia would not shake
One long milk bloom on the tree;
The white lake-blossom fell into the lake,
AS the pinIpernel dozed on the lea;
But the rose was awake all msht LOT
your sake,
Knowing your promise to me;
And the lilies and roses were all awake
They sighed for the dawn and thee.
Queen rose of the rosebud garden of girls
Come hither! the dances are done;
In gloss of satin and glimmer OF pearls,
Queen lily and rose in one;
Shine out, little head, summing over with
curls
To the flowers. and be their sun.
| There has fallen a splendid tear
From the passion flower at the gate
She's coming, my dove, my dear;
She's coming, my life. my fate.
The red rose cries, she is near, she is
near!"
And the white rose weeps, she is
late"
| The larkspur listens. II hear, l near;
And the lily whispers, Il wait.
She is coming. my own, my sweet!
| Were ii ever so airy tread,
NV heart would hear her and beat
Were 1t earth in an earthly bed;
NV dust would hear her and beat,
Had ! lain for a century dead;
Would start and tremble under her feet
And blossom in purple and red.
