ONE sunny day Love chose to stray


Adown a rosy path forbidden.
Where Mischief deep in ambush lay,


And watched his snare meath flowers hidden
Love tumbling in, began to shout


For MischIef's aid, lest he should smother:
You little demon, let me out.


Or I'll report you to my mother"
Said Mischief. I'll not set you free
Unless your share your power with me.
And give OF every heart you gain,
one-half TO joy and half to pain"
Love struggled. but in vain, alas!


He WIS not born to prove a martyr.
And sad to tell it came to pass


He gave in TO the little Tartar
Love flew to Venus In pet.


And cried when he had told his story:
20. Queen Of Beauty, never let
That little imp wear half my glory


The goddess. with Il look sedate,
Replied Il cannot alter fate.
But you shall conquer still my boy.
I'll make loves pain more sweet than joy"

WONDERFUL are the changes that
have been effected of late years in the
manufacture of leather by the use of
chemicals and machinery in place of
the old-fashioned tan-pitS and the slow
manipulation of the currier and tan
ner. If some of our old leather-manu-
facturers could be resurrected-men
who were accustomed to soaking their
hides for years and turning them as
siduously at certain seasons-how they
would stare to see the present process
es. But every day we hear of some
thing new in this directian. "A joint
stock company was recently formed in
Detroit for the purpose of tanning
leather in one hour. We give the in
formation for what it's worth; but it
certainly does look like straightforward.
The process is a chemical one, per-
formed by the action of certain mex
pensive materials, the compounding of
which in the right proportions is Sc
cret. 1t is claimed that robes, tanned
with the hair on, are soft as the finest
wool; hides of the deer, horse, dog,
ETC., are smooth and soft, while calf
and kip show the texture and grain
which good shoemakers most admire.
No bark is required except a little to
give the proper color to the leather.
Bark is worth rs to 50 a cord, and
about 200 cords are required to tan
1000 hides by the common method.
Two cords would be sufficient to give
the proper color to the same number
of hides, and the saving i'll this item
will be enormous. We understand
that the company are turning out from
1000 to 5000 hides per month. How
the article is wearing we have not beer
able to ascertain, but shall watch the
result with interest. Boston CONNER

Assembly had a stormy debate over
the use of instrumental music in their

censure was passed upon those who
continue the use of harmoniums, but
the Assembly requested that, for the

Dom Pedro, Emperor OF Brazil, arrived
at New York on Saturday night. The
Government had delegation to meet the
Royal visitor and welcome him to the hos
pitalities of our shores. Unusual with
men of such unlimited power in their own
homes, the Emperor wished no extraordi-
nary mark Of respect shown him. He
comes to America to learn of the customs,
the habits, the laws, and the capabilities Of
people that he has never before visited.
1t was therefore particularly requested
that he be greeted with no procession, or
other demonstration that would be spe-
cial mark of distinction.


The visit of the Emperor to America at
this season is suggestive Of greater signi6-
cance than if he had come at any other
time. He comes merely as visitor to
America, without any retinue of servants,
no train Of court attendants, and in fact
without any stamp Of distinction, but as a
visitor to the American Centennial to see
its people and be sharer with them in
the centennial of their nations birth; an
event of transcendant Importance to them,
and unravelling picture of pleasing study
to him. There is no nation that has been
more friendly to America than Brazil,
none in which there is SO pleasant an in
ter-relationship with America, and in it,

NoTwITHsTANpING the intense heat
that has prevailed for two weeks past,
the rains have been so frequent and SO
copious as to interfere very materially
with the harvest work of the farmers.
However, we do not think much damage
has yet been done to hay or grain. The
first crop of clover was mostly saved be-
fore the rains set in; the cutting of wheat
has progressed between showers, and the
rains have not been so continuous as to
sprout grain in the shock, and the
timothy meadows have scarcely been
commenced on by the mower. A week
or ten days of settled weather would
bring the harvesting pretty safely to an
end.


The hot showery weather has made
the corn shoot forward at an almost in
credible pace; but the weeds have also
revelled in luxurious growth, and much
of the time the ground has been too
wet to fight them.


Oats have developed wonderfully since
the end OF the draught, and now prom
ise a iutl crop. Potatoes, especially
those late planted, are coming forward
well. Apples are abundant IN almost
every orchard and altogether the farmer
has every reason for thankfulness.

three hours after breakfast.


Walk at moderate pace to the bath
ing ground, so as to be neither too hot
nor too cold, and undress as speedily as
possible, putting on your bathing dress
without delay.


1t is better to plunge at once into

and laving the face and both arms, drop
right underneath the first wavelet.


Wear bathing cap, especially if a

If you can swim, swim and nothing

tumble about and keep moving, and also
rub your limbs with the hands.


Come out before you have actually
ceased to enjoy yourself.


1t is better to have in your bathing
house your own towel, one at least, and
let it be moderately rough.


Remove your bathing dress. Rub
your face, shoulders, limbs and body,
using moderate friction, and finish dry
ing with q smoother towel.


When quite dry, dress, and it ought
not to be at all necessary to dress
quickly.


If faintness or sickness comes on A.,
which must be looked on as quite an ac-
cident, lie down for few minutes.


After dressing, a brisk walk should
be taken; and now lunch biscuit will
do you service.


Remember that the glow after the
bath is the grand event to be looked for


If instead of this glow decided chill
takes place, and if not removed by q
