BY DAVID OVER. all rtj. TO-MY AND TO-MOKituW. A rosebud blossomed in my bower, A bird sang in my jarden ; The rosebud was its fairest flower. And the bird iu gentlest warden. And a child beside the linden tree Sang, "Thinß no more ef sorrow ; But let us smile and sing to-day. For we must weep to-morrow." I asked the bird. "Oh didst thou hear The song that she wonli sing thee 1 And can it be that thou shoul 'st fear, What the next morn may bring ibee V He answered with triumphant strain, Saying, "I know not sorrow, But I must sing my besu to-day, Fori may die to-morrow." I asked the rose, "Oh, te!l me, sweet, In my first beauty's dawning, Thou canst not fear, from this retreat, The coming of the morning f" She flung her fragrant leaves apart The lovelier tor her sorrow. Saying, '-Yes I raut bloom to-day, Far I may droop to-morrow." I said, "The bloom upon my cheek I# fl-etiug as the roses; My voice no more shall sing or speak. tl hen dust in dust reposes ; And from these soulless monitors One lesson I may borrow— That we should smile and sing to-day, For we may w*. ep to morrow." The jiihmceum says that were this new poem by Adelaide Ana Proctor signed Heine, aud published in Germany, we should hare doses* of translations of it ere Valentine's Day comes; THREE ROSES. Just when the ted June roses blow She gave me one— a year ago. A rose whose crimson breath revealed The secret that its heart concealed. And whose half shy, half tender grace Blushed tack upon the giver's thee. A year ago—a year rage— Tc hope was not to know. Just wnen the red June roses blow I plucked her one, —a month ago : Its Lab-blown crimton to eclipse, I laid on her its sniiimg lips; The balmy fragrance of toe >'oath Dr w sweetness from her swe. ter month. Sw. ft y do golden boars creep— To hold is not to keep. The red June roses now are past. This very day I broke the last— And now its perfumed breath is hid, With her, beneath a co2ln-lid ; There will its petals tall apart, And wither on ber icy heart;— At three red roses' cost My world was gained and last. Wn.il THE POPE RIAOVP THE PAPAL SEAT TO JERUSALEM? —A correspondent of the Livt-rpo-.d if.-rcurt, writing from Some, states that French office:s have latterlv been very busy in obtaining information inspecting Jerusalem and the state of things in that quarter. He adds that they hive been taking measurements in several loc lilies, particularly ibe ground that lies about the Mosqne of Omar on Mount Moriah. From Jerusalem t. ey bad gone on to Hebron, Gaza and other points, for the iike purpose. It *s also currently repor ted that a body ot French troops aaa short}/ to come lo Jerusalem, whila another woul i be sta ti led at J tfft, and a thirl at Mount C irroel. At Fe r • f, he says, the French fieenopsaty affirm that rr r government h.ui no intention of with drawing the forces sent oat, bat were iboat to em ploy t ieni shortly on a new and very different errand to that for whh h they ostftsfhly earre.— The French were also actively employed in mk ing a road frorn the H"ty Cay to Dsm iscns, along which they were erecting hu.v s ai certain inter vals. It is said that such a schema as this intetii. gence shows to he in conrso of development, points to the realizing of Pio Nnno's favorite plan of removing the seat of the Papacy to Jeruaaion. SENATOR FOSTER'S COURTSHIP. A story is told of the first courtship of Senator Poster, of Connecticut, which has a decided flavor ci its owe: When a young law student, he became engaged to an accomplished and fashionable young lady aud shortly after his admission to the bar the wedding srraug irießts were made. Among these were a visit to bis parents, whom he had always honored, and from whom (though poor) he felt that he had received what weiltn could never h.ivgiven him. W ben this visit was mentioned for a few moments the lady kept silent. She then said : • Mr. Foster, yon kßow I have been educated w.r> ditf-rer.t ideas Irorn yours, and have always associated with pooplo whose manners and style of hviug ara ditfsrent from those of year parents, aud although i wiah you to uaderstaod that I shall riot expect to repeat it soon or often, and that I shall not desire to as sociate with people ot their Nothing could have surprised hiiu mora to hear these words from her bps.

Up ran a tow headed boy with the detector, t and and down ran the clerk's eyes from column to column. Then he looked over with a sharp glance and exclaimed— "That's a counterfeit bill, Miss."

"Take your bid. j and the next time y. a want to buy a dressing gown, don't iuteud to pass coucterfeir money," | and, aa be handed it, the bill fell from bis ! hands. j Alice caught it ficm the floor and harried j into the street. ■ Such a shock the grl had never received in s!l her life before.
