BY SfINySA MYRTLE MILLER.
It was but a little dreamy face


There's many and many another one
With lovely pose and a charming grace,
And yet there is none that is like it-none.
whose may ina it with careless eyes,


'Tis not a shadow, piece Of art,
But something to look at, love and prize,
And press to your lips and hold to your heart
Long and lovingly you must gaze,
% And fancy the pure lips speak to you;
Fancy the saint-like eyelids raiSe
And the sweet eyes look you through and


through.


Let your soul be filled with questionings sad,
And say: Is it best that she quit her play,
And wonder and wait and be never glad,
Calling me, calling me day by day?
Or is it best that she lift her eyes, q


COnhding to those who are in my place,
That the smile clear-eyed on the sunny skies,
And laugh and sing and forget my face?
What if, under sorrows sorcery EsH.
Wftching my idols day by day,
On a wide and silent forRetfCn sea


My darling's features should drift away? -
What if, when seek her with bounding sigh,
shall find her not in the haunts of yOre,
And a little specter, with mOurnful eye, .-
Shall stand in her place forevermOre? Us
Let your tortured fancy have widest scope,
Until it seems that your heart must break,
And then with quick and sudden hope
Say: 1t is all for her dear sake.
There's many picture under the sun, Il
With meek sad face and tresses bright;
And yet for me there is only one, T.
And that-I lost it yesternight.

Considering the cheapness Of newspapers
it is unaccountable that they are not to be
found in every household in which there is
even the plaiuest education, They are widely
circulated, it is true, among people of almost
al classes and conditions in life; but the
wonder is that there should be family. or a
man of business of any sort, farmer, me-
chanic, a merchant, or anybody, in fact either
in the cities and towns, or in the country, who
does not subscribe to newspaper.

The glories Of the Heavenly King,


And let our aspirations rise - iVS


To seek the Saviour in the Skiss.


And when at last in life's decline,


This earthly temple we resign,

A NEW YORK correspondent of Chi

been sorely victimized, and for their own
protection they have resolved in future
not to lend, in friendly way. to any
body, Indeed, they cannot do so con-
sistently with their articles of agreement.
and they hope to strengthen them selves
thereby. The society, which had its origin
among the brokers of Wall street, already
numbers five hundred members, and
they are steadily and rapidly increasing.
Several other similar organizations are
contemplated, and this new order of
things can not fail to strike terror to the
begging and borrowing souls Of our null

that young Delawarean, clerk in the Girard
Bank, Philadelphia, has absconded and is a
defaulter in the sum of $500. The name,
however, is withheld, out OF sympathy and
respect for the aged father of the clerk, a
highly esteemed citizen of Odessa. The Ledger
says: up to the time OF the discovery of the
default this clerk was held in highest credit,
and was supposed to be an abstemous liver
His salary was fair one, and one, with
frugalty, from which he could have annually
laid aside portion. 1t has since been ascer
tained that he had invested moderately in a
cigar store, which he had entrusted to hired
help through the day giving his attention
there in the evenings He was here led into
politics, thence to visiting base ball gaming
and the cost and waste of time attendant upor
them, from which he found it but step to the
act that has mulcted his friend in loss anC
blasted his character for the remainder OF hi
life. The bank is no loser" Two gsntlemer

WAaNER's ExpERIMENTs-TheL London
Globe says: "One of the great events in the
musical world will be atrial of Richard Wag-

one who has had the good fortune to witness
representations of 'Lohengrin' or '1annhau.
SER at the Munich Opera House, can form
some idea how grand must be the perform
ance designed even to eclipse them, The
reputation Of the composer of tLohengrin'
has unfortunately in this country become
matter of dispute before the majority Of the
disputants have even had an opportunity of
forming an opinion on the question. His
admirers and opponents have approached
the subject of music in spirit of partizan-
ship; and unhappily, party name has been

The Bayreuth theatre is to be built for the
special representation of the composers ope

made throughout Germany, chiefly in the

is understo that it is no lack Of funds or
patronage that leads to this delay, but that
the difficulties which the composer has set
himself to surmount in the selection Of his
artists and the composition and training of
his orchestra are almost insuperable. One
of Wngner's favoIite theories is that the
position of the orchestra between the audi


cncc and the stage is most trying, both to
the singers and listeners. The artists on
tho stage have to send their voices out over
the Instruments, and the appearance of Tic
orchestra itself cannot fail to break illusion.
Whatever may be the judgment Of posteri-
ty in regard to Wagner's music, it is to be
hoped the present generation will be able to
appreciate the great service he will have
rendared to the representation Of the opera
in foreign capitals, and perhaps, after the
necessary delay, in ours.
