Two graves, and in them noeta twain,
Tlie two not halt a yard apart.
Two brother bards, who thus have lain
A dozen summers, heart to heart 1
Well matched they He where few are matched,
Within that cherished churchyard plot,
Two mutual souls, in lite attached.
And even in death divided not
Bards of the mountain and the grove,
Who yet wrung lesson from the acre ;
Trim churiotecrs, as ever drove
Fair Fancy 'a gaudy equipage :
They sleep together, side by Mde j
And as they sleep, so lived they long ;
Two friends, whom nothing could divide,
Two suiters, Joining nana and song.

THE LIVE SOFA.
A MAN OF MANY VAGARIES.
Mr. Lundy was a peculiar-looking man, with
a thin lace, and long, straight hair that, he fun
cied never needed cutting. He had, at one time,
been very unfortunate in his business; bat,
though made rich since by a lare legacy, he
waa not in a condition to enjoy it. The tact id.
a Mr. Lundy was a continued hypochondriac.
4 VYinm. innM M ., I tin.ln V, . . .la itaiJ at
home and humored hi whims; but one scaton
her pretty daughters wanted to go to a watering-place,
not lor any disease in particular, but
to see the world and the young lolks in it.
Behold them, then, comfortably established
in a sea-side hotel. For two oajs Mr. Lundy
had been all right; but one moi nine his poor
wile knew what waa coming, by the peculiarity
of bis looks and motions. 11 er book tell from
her hand; Minnie turned pale.
"He's been flighty all the morning," said Mr.
L. 'Dear, dear, see him whirl what is it,
Lundy V
'A feather, my dear a feather; catch me
hold me. Don't you see the wind is blowing me
everywhere f It will take me out to sea, and I
shall get saturated yes, wet through, Mru.
Lundy. I beg you to catch me; pin me to your
bonnet; I shall be safe there. Just see now
frlghtlully I ruffle : the slitrhteat puff of air
1 agitates me throughout. I'd rather be any
i thing than this: do put me in vour bonnet, mv
dear."
"I'll put you in a mad-house before long,"
muttered the exasperated wife, "if you cut up
such capers. Come into the hotel, Mr. Lundy."
"Come into the hotel, madam, vou talk as if
I had legs. Did you ever see a feather walk ?
Why, I'm lighter than a snow dnlt; I wish I
bad a brick in my hat to keep me down. Ah !
I envy everything stationary. Observe how I
quiver; stick a pin in me, my dear, and fasten
me to the floor. Is there euoueh of me for a
pen f Am 1 a hen-feather, or a duck-feather, or
what ?"
"(Joose-featber, if anything, you tiresome
mortal," cried his wife. "I'm sick of your vaga
ries. First, you're a cat on the roof, mewing
and keeping everybody awake; then you're a
.glass bottle, lull ot water, freezing and snap
ping; you're anything and everything but a
reasonable man. I'm tired of it."
"Mrs. Lundy, will you have the goodness to
put me in your pocket? squeeze me in your
hand, anything, that I may feel sate in your
protecting care? I'm floating (singing).
" 'I'm afloat, I'm afloat' ah 1 what's ihat ?
"Motbinp, Mr. Lundy, but Joe's whip. I
called him irora the coach-house. Lay on, Joe."
"Hut, my love, my legs."
"Nonsense. Mr. Lund v! Lav on. Joe. Fea-
Uhers haven't got legs."
J "True. Mrs. L., but they have marrow, and
Jthat'a what leels. Pray beg Joe to stop."
I Just then ran up little Tom the only male
hope of the Lundy family and, strange to say,
in nis nana a Handsome hen's leather. A tri
umphant smile illumined the face of Lundy the
elder. , . .. .
"Now, my dear," he said, gravely taking the
feather in nis hand, "1 hope you'll believe me.
My child, look on that feather, and be thankful;
that was me."
And little Tom, chuckling at the idea, ran up
and down the piazza, repeating merrily
"Pa was a hen once; dear me, how funny 1"
Minnie Lundy was captivating; there is no
doubt about that. In pink, blue, white, or green
she looked equally charming. There wore rich
men there who would have been glad to charm
her, and nice men, and silly men silly to that
extent that they weie fools, and didn't know it.
But it happened that a young physician was
luckier than them all, and poorer. "I must
have that girl," ha said, aotto voce, a dozen times
a day, and then heartily wished she had a fever.
He was very handsome. Probably he saw Minnie
through the back ot his head, tor he was always
looking out of the window when she came in,
and al ays blushed violently.
One day Minnie followed her mother into the
parlor. As usual, Dr. Stag was there.
"My dear," cried Mrs. Lundy, who had fust
come from the garden, "you look excited."
"0 mamma I'-and her voice was so sweetly
low, so softly agitated "we shall have to leave
this place. Indeed we shall. Father is taking on
I terribly; some ol the boarders are laughing
I Jothers are shocked."
V "And what is the freak now, my dear ?"
ui ne s a rooster, ana crows tin ne is Diacit
in the lace."
"A rooster 1 horrible ! And here we are not
a doctor we know "
1 Somebody wheeled round from the window.
' "Madam, I beard you speaking of the ahem
i meed of a doctor. Excuse my forwardness,
but I am a physician."
Of course, Minnie was more beautiful than
1 ever in her contusion.
-my poor nusDaua nas an unfortunate ten
dency that annoys everybody near him."
"Perhaps he is a hypochondriac. I think I
have seen him. Where is he, madam?"
"t)c the north porch," said Minnie.
"And I am sure we are very much obliged,"
6
aoaea tne iuoiner, "it you can only help mm."
XLe nrst souna mat struck tneir ears, as tney
J issued lrom the door, was a grand and sonorous
"cook-a-doo-dlc-do ! "
J "John Mr. Lundy," cried his wite, "what a
Baa spectacle you axe maxing oi yourseu."
"I'm not a spectacle, gjod woman: I'm

tne expanse ot m v winirs r cock-aaoo-aie-ao i"
"What shall we do if" cried the poor wife.
turning to the doctor, "O, bir, can you stop
this nuicuious exhibition ?"
"Trust me, madam," said the young roan.
biting his lip, tor the tit;ht was almost too
ridiculous for bis gravity.
"Upon my word," he continued, addressing
the deluded man, ''whatamaanidcent creature I
Why, bis leathers are a yard long. Where did
you get such a splendid specimen ? Is he ini
ported ?"
"Cock-a-doo-dle-do !" yelled the human biped,
strutting more thau ever. "That woman has
nothing to do with me. s.r nothing at all. I'm
a rooster on my own account cock-a-doo-dlo-
doo."
Here the doctor gave order -aside to of
the servants, who went aT gmmtii r. Then
turning to the rooster, -wlio was by this time red
in the lace with exeition. be saiil:
"I declare it itiules my month water to think
what a cupiiul iir.ner that bird would furnish.
May I wring lu neck, mad4Ui?, It will take
but a few i;.on.ls.'
"No you don't," tried the other) "I'm touch
I'm very tough I'm an old bird, sir not to be
caught with ih'J."
"hut you are a rooster; what elso are you good
for?"
"Good to srow, sir; good to crow," and forth
with ensued the loudest screech of all, sue
eeded by a summersault and a sensation ef suf
focation. Another moment, aud the servant
reappeared with a dead (owl in his arms.
"I assure you, sir, it had to be done," said the
doctor, gravely, and Mr. Lundy rubbed his lace
and pinched his throat.
"Did you really wring ray neck, sir r" the
hypochondriac aaked gravely.
"When you were a rooster, certainly."
"Did I die game?" asked the other, with a
Manner of solemn importance.
"Yon did particularly game," replied the
doctor.
"Thank you, sir. If I should happen to turn
into a rooHtrr again. I shall know whore to go."
"I shall be most happy to to wring your
neck lor you, sir, on any such Interesting occa
sion." "Very kind, I'm sure. If you shonld ever
get into trouble, John Lundy will stand your
friend."
"Do you promlne me that, sir?"
"I do; aud I never break my word."
After that Minnie walked in the garden
pometimee; and Minnie was not alone not she.
"1 love violets bcst,r said the doctor to her
one day.
"And I roes." So Minnie, being the least bit
sentimental, quoted Pope on roses S"methlng
about dew. And the doctor went on Shake

"Indeed, I mint not listen to this," murmured
Minnie, flying to hear it again. "My lather, if

"Hark! Who calls?"

"Ob, sis, pa's took again, and he's going it

"What Is it now, dear?" asked Minnie, with
the face oi an an pel; but perhaps she wasn't a
little cross at the interruption.
"Oh, he's a sola, and ma says please somebody
come and smash bltn all to bits."
"What shah wcdo" sighed Minnie; "that Is
the most ridiculous freck of all."
"Dont be frightened, my love," said the Doc
tor. 'Tommy, run right home and toll vour

should ever get into trouble he would help me
out."
"Did he, really ? Then he will. " '
"But it is necessary that we give him the
shock tirsi. Delay not, my darling; you shall
liever regret it."
Of course she went.
"All I ask is that nobody'll sit on me, tor I'm
cracked. Besides, I'm just varnished, and not
quite dry yet. Do, my dear, stand at the door,
and tell people as they come in that I cannot be
sat on or in any way meddled with, I'm so
flimsily lastened together."
This was the speech that greeted Dr. Stag at
he entered Mr. Lundy's parlor with Minnie.
Mrs. L. was in tears.
"Doctor, as soon as ever I get home I'll have
that ridiculous man carried directly to the hos
pital indeed I will," cried th poor woman.
"I've borne it long enough, and I'm completely
worn out."
"So am I, my dear," piped up her husband;
"I expect I'm eecond-hand; shouldn't wonder
in the least, my legs feel so shaky. Pray, don't
touch me. Isn't one roller gone, my dear ?"
"Roller gone ? your wits are gone ! I wish I
was a man. I'd varnish you in such a way that
you'd never want to be a sola again, or any
piece ot furniture. "
xne aoctor stooa near, gravely considering.
"My dear, vou are better as vou are. lor I see
in the last five minutes you have come out a
beautiful washbowl and pitcher. But isn't your
nose a little cracked, or do I see awry? I
shouldn't wonder, tor my head is full of brass
tacks, l mink I've snntled them up mv nose.
It's worse than influenza."
"Was ever poor creature so afflicted I" mur
mured Mrs. Sofa I mean Mrs. Lundy.
"Never, my love. I protest that it I could be
anything else I would but a sofa I am, and a
poor one at that."
At that moment the aoctor sprang forwara
and planted himself upon the prostrate body of
jnr. L.unay.
"Capital sola thi." he said, keeping his posi
tion in spite ot his victim's struggles.
"Get up I'm cracking in six places. Good
heavens I you'll ruin me you'll break my baik I
Get up till I'm properly mended, tor pity's

"Upon my word," said the doctor calmly.

kicks and wriggles and makes me laugh at its
antics, vv nat a naicuious soia i "
"I tell vou I'm second-hand 1" cried the hvno
chondriac more faintly than before, for 130
pounds dead weight was no light infliction.
"I'm brass-tacked old very old lull ot cracks
one roller gone. OJ pray don't lean your
weight on me."
The doctor lifted himself cautiously. The sofa
gave one deep inspiration.
xne aoctor lookea serious.
- "Are you sure yu are a sofa ?"
"Of course 1 am."
"Then you are no longer Mr. Lunijy ?"
"I am no longer Mr. Lundy."
"Can you keep a secret?"
"Certainly I can."
"Do you know old Lundy's daughter ?"
"I euess I do."
W'Won't vou let on to the old fellow if I toll

"Not if vou sav no."
"Well, I've lust married her. She's my wife."
On went tne sofa like a gun,
"What I You villain I"
"Take care you'll break !" cried the doctor
"You young rascal !"
"You old sofa!"
"You desperate voung thiel !"
"You rickety old sola, with your head full of
brass tacks, 1 tell you," cried tne doctor, "it you

gravely; "but I tell you what, I shall consider
you a thict until you are able to "iioDort your

"And 1, sir, shall consider you a sofa until you

It is needless to add that was the last of the
trouble;
