A child, her waywaM pencil drew
On margins of her book
Clarlacda of Cowers, danctnj elve",
UlrJ, butterfly and brook.
Lt-ysons undoTia, and play forgot,
Seeking with hand and heart
The teacher whom Mto learned to lovo
Uefore she knew 'twaa Art.
A maiden, lull of lotty dreams,
blender and fair and tall
As wcro thag0ddc3&es she traced
Upon her chamber wall,
fetlll laboring with brush and tool,
Still seeking everywhere
Ideal beaut), grace and strength,
In the "divine despair."
A woman, calling forth alone,
Ambitious, fcrae, elate,
To moult) life with a dauntless will,
To seek and conquer fate.
Itlch colors on her palette glowed,
Patience bloomed Into power ;
Endeavor earned Ita just reward,
Arthau ttsuappy hour.
A wife, low sitting at his feet
To paint with tender &UU
The hero of her early dreums,
Artist but woman still.
Olad now to shut tho world away,
Forgetting cen Itomo ;
fan tent to be tue household saint
shrined In a peaceful home.
A mother Holding In her nrma
The sweet, supreme success ;
Giving a life to win a life,
I) lnz that she might bless,
Grateful for Joy unspeakable.
In tho brief, blessful past ;
The picture of a baby faco
Her loneliest and last.
Death, the stern sculptor, wltha touch,
No earthly power can stay,
Changes to marble In an hour
The beautiful, pale clap.
Hut I-oe, tho mighty master, comes,
Mixing his tints w Uu tears,
Taints an Immortal form to shlno
Undlmm?d by coming jears.
A fair Madonna, golden-haired,
hose soft ej es seemed to brood
Upon the child whose little hand
Crowns her with motherhood.
Sainted by death yet bound to earth
By Us most tender ties,
For life h03 yielded up to her
Its sacred mysteries.
So live, dear soul 1 serene and safe,
Throned as in Raphael's skies,
Ty po of the lov e, the faith, the grief
Whoso pathos neerdlus.
Hlvlnc or human, still the same
To touch and lift tho heart ;
Earth's sacrifice Is Heaven's fame,
And Nature truest Art.

Really. Catharine, I don't wonder at
Mary's surprise at your behavior. You for
set that vim are Frank's widow, You are
too forward.'
I hesitated a moment, really anxiou-, to
among the gentlemen that visited tho house,
Mr, llnlstead,or, ni she had called hltn since
her babyhood, Uncle Herbert. He had been
her father's chum nnd dearest friend,
nnd loved tho child for Frank's sake.
'Ladles home, Nelt ?
'I'm home,' she said, 'and I dess mamma
11 ha in soon
'Very well. Let's go in tho parlor nnd
have n chat.'
Nellie sat in bU lap, discussing tho mer
its of cocoanut cakes and sugar nlmotids n
little while ; but ruddenly, dropping her
candles in her lnp, she aked, 'What s leap
leap I fordet. Do you know whats
it?
'Leap 1 leap frog? leap, year? Is that
it?
Yes. What is it?'
'Why, it's a year when you ladles can ask
tho gentlemen to marry you. Itut you see,
Nellie, you ro too young or wouldn't you
ask mo?
'Oh, no 1 I wouldn't ask you. Mamma's
going to ask you.'
The young man nearly dropped tho child,
and then folded her close to him, lest per
bapt, he should forget her again. 'What do
you mean, darling?' ho asked. 'Now think,
Nellie but don't tell Uncle Herbert any
tl mi of our own make up.
Oli' i.u I really, trtiely, bless me, she'
alive isn't that what you siy when yntiVe
rue? Weill' the littls tot gave n long
sigh and p.ii!hcd,Hcrbert not daring to inter
rupt her, let she .should see bis nuxlety.anci

'Well she repeated, 'you tee, they does

would call yesterday todnurrovv,) they scold
ed her again, because she wouldn't sing, and
then they taid she was fordard. What'

Pordard, indeed I' ejaculated Herbert
under his breath. 'If I had been some nth
ers now. lint .Nellie, now about leap
year ?'
'Oh, yes ! I most fordot.didn't I? Well,
you -ee, mamma earn but, oh, uncle Her
bert, I nevtr showed you my loo wee nic.new
little kittens 1 They' only little sines, wiv-
out eyes. Come out to piazza, and I'll show
you.
It was no u-e to be impatient. The young
man knew the child too well for that, and so
they went out and inspected the kitten
Tht n lie tried to coax Nellie back to the
subject.
'Oh, I fordot 1 she said. Only they made
niammi sa)
What uul they say, darling? I ll give
you a big doll'
'With real hair ?'
'Yes, yes! Real hair and eyes, and oh,
nothing. l!ut did they say I w anted to mar
ry
They say mamma wasn't a girl, and she
was old ; and mamma said oh, there
mamma. Mamma, didn't you ask Uncle
Herbert to marry you? He wants to
know.'
I had come in, looking for the child, anil
that was the speech I heard. I felt ready to
ink with mortification.
'Kate, darling, can't I hope you'll let me
usk ? You must know ihat I hoped, when
these (touching my veil and black tires'
were put aside, that I could a-k joutolet
mo care lor you, and at once. Come, dar
ling,' as I hid my face in my bands. 'You've
a-kfd me lo marry you ; and I must name
tho dav ; and I say now, at once. Ltt's give
them a good thorough sui pn-e. I can guer
how they've treated you. Come, now, get

'Some uuion mission church ?' I hazard

'Kpiscopal ?' I guessed.
'Limited express,' he said, 'all palace cars

too exhau-tive for a brakeman. All train
men in uniform, conductor's punch and lan
tern silver plated, and no train boys allowed.
; Thou the passengers aro allowed to talk back
to the conductor, and it makes them too free
and easy. No, I couldn't stand tho palace

of a receiver appointed for that line. Some
niiahty nice people travel on it, too.'
'Uuivtrsalist ?' I suggested.'
'Broad guape,' said the brcakman ; does
too much complimentary business. Every
body travels on a pass. Conductor doesn't
get a fare onco in fifty miles. Stops at all
flag stations and won't run into anything but
a unio'i depot. No smoking car on this train.
Train orders aro rather vague though, and
tho train men don't get along well with tho

tVbout forty years ago I had a lad in my
employ who had the habit when unexpected-
spoken to of pricking up his cars iu so de
rive a manner as to remind one ot tlio cars
of Press or of 'fray wheu suddenly called-
arie l.ouuc, tho second wife of Napoleon,
was in the habit of amiisiug tho ladies of her
court at their privato soirees by turning her
ears almost completely round, and in a man
ner closing them up. Sho did this by a pe
culiar motion of tho jaw, and she is said to
lavo prided herself on tho exploit not a lit-

A man I knew wcllwore an cnormousshock
f ravcu hair, and would allow himself to be
fled by the hair from tho ground by any one
ho was strong enough to do it, and to be
swung to and fro like a pendulum, or to bo
dragged along tho floor.
Tho faculty of sleeping at will was ono
of tho endowments of the first Napoleon,who
it is said could sleep any length of time, long
or short, and awako at the time, almost to a
minute, he had resolved upon.
Among the muscular moments not common
havo noticed several instances of persons
who could throw back the four fingers of eith
er hand until they stood quite perpendicular
to the back of tho hand and wrist. Other
instances I havo secu, though but a few of
persons who can project tho lower joint of the
thumb almost into tho hollow of the palm

dinary symmatry of tho hand at all affected
Of left handed peoplo wo have all seei
many, and they abound among tho working
classes; hut of the atibandist, or both-hand
ed, that is of poisons who can do everything
with either hand, as well with one as with
the other, I havo kuown but one in the whole
course of my life. This was an orphan boy
who had no paternal care, but had been lef
almost to muisclt lrom infancy. Uuick ac
tivc, and sharp-witted, ho had taught himself
many things tolerably well, could draw fairly
could play the fiddle and the flute, and wrote
admirably with unrivaled rapidy with either
hand.
There are many persons who, from cause;
they can never explain, nave a repugnance,
almost amounting to horror in some cases
for certain animals. Tho French General
Juuct, who was us cool as a cucumber auiidsi
a storm of bullets and would face tho can
non's mouth unmoved, would take to his
heels at tho sight of a livo fiog, and would
not recover his cquauimity for hours.
I havo known a man wlio could not touch
mutton, however cooked, while ho would
eat heartily of any other meat. Souio ther
are in whom the thought of eating hare or
rabbit excites loathing ; somo who would
starve rather than eat shell-fish of any kind
and there are a few to whom butter and eheesi
aro abominations. Others are equally preju
diced against certain vegetables, but why or
wherefore they cannot tell you. Leisure

Alter using ashes on my farm for many
years, both leached and utileached, I con
sider them a valuable fertilizer fur grasi
and grain. I have used large quauities ol
leached ashes, generally applying them to
land to be seeded down. I first prepare the
ground for sowing, then ep read 100 or 150
bushels of leached ashes to the acre, then
sow wheat, barley or oats, as the case inny
be, and seed down, harrowing thoroughly,
and when the crop matures, I am always
pleased with the result. I used 50 bushels
of unleached ashes to the acre, Ashes,
whether leached or unleached, make a very
fine top dressing for meadows and pastures
and in every case where I have used them,
the result for grain or grass has been very
satisfactory, there being a large increase) iu
both quanli'y and quality of graiu or gras.
My mode of using ashes for corn, is to
apply them to tho top of the hill, before
the corn comes up, As soon as the com is
planted, I put about a hall gill of unleached
ashes on the toy nf each hill, alwuvs pre
ferring to get my corn ashed before a rain,
so that the first shower will carry the-pot
ash from tho ashes down into the hill, for
tho corn roots In feed upon. I apply iu the
same way fir potatoes, It takes, as I up
ply litem, '"rum 15 to 20 bushels to the acre,
aud I thli k the ashes thus used Are worth
half a dollar per bushe', I am satisfied that
ashes, eiltur leached or unleached, are the
best fertalizers the farmers can use Fur

They do nut leach through the .oil like ititi-
