HEART-BREAK.
BY HKIMt
If little fliiwens knew it.
The sorrow on my heart,
fheir teaiw with mine would rue it.
And lees would be the smart
If nightingales oould know it.
My trouble and my frrtef.
They would smg me to undo it
A nmsieal relief.
The golden stars and tender.
If thi r eould know my iu>
Would step front out Uieir splendor
To bring me |<eaoe aga.n.
Ttiey know it by no token
One only knows— and she
Herself it is has broken
And torn my heart from me

"And wha kens, Marjory, bv that
time somebody may gic us a lift."
Marjory shook her pretty head. She
had not )ust now her lover's hopeful
ness ; but slie smiled, as she alway - did,
at his Scotch accent, glancing up arch
ly . and the shake of the head was not
very discouraging.
The two were standing before that
moesy little cottage at the comer of the
lane, just w here the sweeping shadows
of the great elm flickered over it. This
cottage was Mat jury's vlav-dreatu—a
tlny.ooiy, flower-clad day-ilream, with
a good substantial wall and a vine-cov
ered hedge about it. In that distant fu
ture when she and Adam should 1*
forehanded enough to wed. she liked to
fancy herself mistress of this pretty eot
tage, going hi and out of the sunny
porch, or waiting for Adain of a sum
mer evening dow u at the little gate un
der the elm. The place belonged to
Squire A clou upon the hill, but the
squire w as aw ay anil the place unoccu
pied, aud Marjory was at full liberty,
therefore, to tenant it with a dream.
She never passed the cosy little nest
without a longing glance thitherward.
The "by that time" of which Adam
spoke was long in coming, ami to Mar
jory it seemed somehow tlii- morning
"farther off than ever.
Adam, the sturdy young Scotsman,
saw uo cause cause for de-pair in thi*
new country, with it* fertile soil and
sunshine. He was a gardener, know 11
in all the region for his skill and thrift,
and he trusted to shape the future witli
his own strong hands. Yet to tie ow
ner of a pretty nlace like that, with its
low eaves, its *hell-l>ordered path, and
Its eltn shadow, was a thing worth
dreaming about, and tie let Marjory
have her pretty dream.
"It's no nnlike the wee hit place at
hatne," said Adam, eyeing it with a
lingering glauce a- tie turned to the
road.
"Well, well, go your wa>s, Adam,"
said Marjory. "It.-long past noon, and
I've to stop down the lane with this
basket for idow Gray."
And Adam, lifting the hasketover the
stile for her. went his way, whistling
thoughtfully.
Slowly Marjory | UL— <-d up the lane
with her basket, summer ouors alaiut
her. aud summer blossoms every where
shedding their shell-like petals in a fra
grant snow-fall, not whiter nor sweeter
than the clean linen she was carrying
to the Widow Gray; for Marjory was a
capital work-woman, If -he did dream
over her tasks now and then.
The basket was refilled from the
widow's garden with a goodly freight
Of vegetables for thehou-eful of young
sters for whom the young girl was pur
veyor, and the afternoon shadows were
lengthening as patient Mrrjory went
her way up the lane once more. She
paused a moment at the stile to rest.
Over the summer fields a soft, hax\ sun
light fell; the meadows were golden: a
veil of impalpable mist hung in the
drowsy air. Marjory lingered, with
her red hood throw n hack over her
shoulders, looking wistfully yet wearily
at the sceue. Her eye wandered to the
hilis lying afar off. fleeeting cloud and
-hifting shadow flecking thein. How
distant tbev seemed, yet how near and
familiar! She had never visited them,
though they seemed so near. All tier
life had lain along the beaten track of
household way—the elder -L-ter pa
tiently caring for the old folks aud the
little ones.
Xever. in her remembrance, had
there happened to Marjory such a long
ing for a holiday, such a wearine-s of
the old familiar duties, a* now, when,
setting down her laden ha*ket, she
leaned u|ioii the stile, and -hading her
eyes with her hand. looked down the
winding road. It was all s> haimv, and
so quiet. Xow and then a laborer
with hi- rake on his shotlfder plodded
homeward, nodding to her as he passed,
or a creaking farm wagon, with it*
sleepy oxen, tolled up the rise; and pre
sently tlie rerose a sun-lit cloud of dust
a little distance off. and through it came
the twinkling of red-spoked slender
w heels—a pretty vehicle apieareL and
a young gentleman driving. Marjory
wondered how it would feel to lie sweep
ing along the read like that, w itli no
burdens to carry, and such a fleet little
jsiny. At that moment —conld she be
lieve it?—that pretty equipage paused
in the road, that sw ih little pony stood
stamping impatiently, and a pleasant
voice said,
"Shall I give you a lift ?"
Marjory looked at the questioner,
doubtful if she were not really dream
ing. There sat the vision, spruce, smi
ling, and holding out its gloved hands
to help her in with her basket. Mar
jory felt herself dusty and untidy
in the contrast. This mljjlit be the
young squire, who Has coming home
to live, she had heard; but she uniled
a shy smile as she found herself actual
ly lifted to the vacant seat, and the
young man thought he had never seen
any tiling quite so bright and summer
like as that smile, lie wondered if all
country girls were like this, ith such
• •earning eyes and sun-tinted cheeks;
and as they rode along he chatted pleas
antly, just to evoke that smile again.
How fresh and uncontamlnated and full
of rare gueetuesa might not such a girl
be, brought up in the woods, and
breathing in their clean, clear air! lie
was tired of city people. City people,
l.oth men and women, were so conven
tional—impossible to do any thing out
of the habitual routine in the city. >'o*
a man ought to do some good in the
world. lie had often thought it his du
ty to strike out in a new path, and
break through old usages. All the men
of his family had married fashionable
vOM ; lb iff liad wealth, they had |R>-
sition ; but not one of them had a smile
like that. Mow a bright cheery hearth,
with a pleasant face beside it—that
might incite a man to do -omething
worth while with his life. .Such a girl
as this, now—
Marjory, sittting by his side, blushed
as she rode along, seeing all the homely
familiar tilings from a grand distance',
and fancying herself a lady riding into
town with a gay gallant lieslde her.
"What is the prettiest place here
about?" asked the squire, rousing from
his reverie. And Marjory told him ot
the little cottage under the elui—that
was the prettiest place of all.
So they rode along till they came in
sight of the grand house on the hill—u
big brown house, with a great carriage
way and a row of tail poplars. Near
the south gate stood the conservatory
and hot-houses. The glass doors were
open. The scent of rare exotics floated
on the air, mingled with the earthy odor
of the garden mould. The sun was set
ting behind the poplars, flushing every
thing with rose-color.
"Prettier than this ?" asked the squire.
How would you like to live hereV i
Ah, to live in a place like this, with a
gardener to work for you, and to bow to
the dust as he brought you a bouquet of
those wonderful flowers! Marjory did
not answer immediately, for at that mo
ment a man in ragged straw hat, at work
in the beds, lifted up his heated face,
and touched that ragged gtraw hat
to the squire. His eye lit up when
he saw Marjory. It waa Adam.
"Thauk ye, squire, forgieing the las
sie a lift," he said, coming forward.
"I'll e'en tak' the basket, ami walk the
rest o' the way wi' her."
The young squire woke up. What
Grange distinctions there are in life, to
he sure! Here was a girl whom he had
actually been contemplating in the light
of a wife. In iiis musing he had dressed
her like a queen, and had seen her
sweep gracefully in at the wide portal
of his mansion. But on the threshold
of that door her own familiar friend, it
seemed, must pause, humble aud hat
loan. Ho riHilil not tnako a place tor j
Vilain ; ho could not Imagine Adam In a
drawing-room. Adam'- nturvly Imol*
ami brawny figure were not exactly the
-tuff that dream* wore made of. \nd,
an I liavo said, tho squire woke up.
"Wo liavo had a very ploa-ant rhle," j
he said, as, sotting Marjory and Iter teas- j
kct down, he Itowed ami drove on to the
stable. And a- he went he thought to
hiumelf that It was all well enough to
talk philosophy and dream |ootry, hut
when things eatue to the practical tost,
you must give day-dreams the go-by,
But when Marjory's wedding-day
caiue at last, and the little oottago was
hers by his own gift, it must liavo been
gratifying to blm to know that ho had
Itilllllcd her day-dreams at least. If not

The Chinese view an eclipse with
wonder, mingled to a great extent with
: fear and terror, and most of them lake
some steps to aid the sun or moon, *-
the case may be, in the hour of need,
the priuci|iai agents employed leiiig, of
course, gongs and gunpowder, without
which no ceremonial observance of any
kind is complete. The officials of ttieir
several yainen- oflicial residence- go
through a regular set ceremonial on
! these occasion-. They call in the aid of
j l'aoist priests, and ait inecitse vase, aud
a jiair oi large candlestick-, containing
red candles for lack, arc placed on a ta
ble in the huii-Uug, or audience hall,
but sometimes in the court in front of

rel caudles are lighted, and the offlci it
enters, dre-—-d in Id- robes of -tale. He

to custom before placing it in the rase.
He next proceeds to perform the cere
mony of "ko tou" vlit. knockhead!,
kneeling down tlirice, and knocking hi*
; head nine time# on the ground. He then
gets up, and huge gongs and drum- are
beaten to frighten th- devouring mon
ster away; and finally the priests march
round the table in solemn procession,
rejieating certain prescribed formulas
in a sing-song tone, until the termina
tion of the eclipse. The officials are of
course always supposed to be successful
in their endeavor- to rescue the stilt and
moon from their i>erilou* position, and

An aniH-iote, which Mark Lemon
loved to tell, related to the |ierind when
Tom Hood became a contributor to
Punch. Looking over tii* letters one
morning, he ojiened ail envelope inclo
sing a poein which tlie writer said bad
been rejected by lliree contemjioraric#.
If not thought available for Punch, he
begged the editor, whom he knew hut
-lightly, to consign it to the wa*te-iiapor
basket, as the author was "sick at the
sight of it." The poem was signed
"Tom," and the lines were entitled
"The Song of the Shirt." The work
was altogether different from anything
that bad ever apjieared in Punch, and
wa considered so much out of keeping
with the spirit of the [.eriodical that at
the weekly meeting Its publication w as
opposed by several mem tiers of the
i taff. Mark I-cmon WHS so firmly Im
pressed not only with the tieauty of the
work, but with Its suitability for the
paper, that he stood by hi- first de
cision and published it. By a letter
written bv Tom Hood to Mark I/smun,
which we have for the moment mislaid,
it appear- that the question of illustra
ting the poem was entertained and dis
cussed. The lines, however, were pub
lished without iliii-tration. except that

A *oon as ail had taken tlieir -eats,
-ays a writer, describing tlie scene, in
the St. .I'tui'M M'ujtuine, we rowed ofl
silently, with double-banked oar*. Five
large boat- were ail we could man, as
many ot lite fisliermen had gone to the
bank- in the morning; though their
hrnwn sails were in -ight, time did not
allow of their tecall. Our armament
was most ludicrous; beside guns, we
carried axes, lances, old swords, and
several kettles for making a noise with.
Several were busy improvising a formi
dable weapon by ilistening scythe blades
to short poles; one man, called while
mowing, sat in the l*ns, holding his,
scythe.
A* we left the cove the women kept
railing: after U-, ami wishing g<Mid I tick,
and then liurrtod to the cliffs, where
they watched the prog re an of the chaae.
Making a long detour, the boat* were

a* all were placed, the leader tliod a gun,
and wo bore down upon the w hales with
all speed, shouting and splashing the
water. A movement is aeeti among the

at first, then increasing their speed rusli
In a foaming crowd toward the Shore.
We follow at our utmost speed, re
gardless of the si way that dashes over
the hoat. Suddenly the fish jainse, feel
ing, perhaps, by instinct, that they are
getting into shoal water, they turn, seem
to deliberate and select the weakest sjxit
for a charge; our speed Is slackened,
and all prepare for a struggle. After a
moment's paue, headed by the largest
of the herd, they rushed at my boat
which happened to be in the centre of
the line. On they came, raising a wall
of foam, behind which are dimly scon
arched bucks and agitated tins; we sluxit,
fire our guns, throw stones, and dash
the oars in the water They hesitate; a
few plunge under the boat; i feel their
backs scrape against the keel as we are
thrown ovei and half filled with water
from a git. atic fish; terrified and

into the herd, and head* for the shore

Ttie ia*lons which act ino-t severely
on flic physical life are anger, tear,

are comparatively innocuous. ' hat i
called the passion of love is not injuri

iety; on the contrary, it sustains ttie
! physical powers. W hat is called ambi

when it exist- purely, is a nobility lilt

An epic seem- a difficult thing to de
' finA. We gather the views ol several
writers on thi- |oint.
Blair regard* an epic as "The illus
i trating of some great and -jtiiT.il i-ku in
verse, its aim being to arouse aduiira-
I tlon and astonishment." K. -j., The
j great idea of the Iliad i- ll'itr.
Fusell says; "Homer, wishing to
Impress one forcible idea of war, Its
1 progress, and its aid, set to work in
, numerable engines of various magni
, tudes, yet none hut that uniformly
; tend- to force this and only thi- idea
upon the mind."
S. W. Clark's grammar SJIVS: "Epic
po**try is a historical representation—
real or fictitious —of great events."
. "Lady of the Ijke," "t ure of Jveh-
I tiha," etc., are cited. m
Chambers* fyclopa-dia divide* Poetry
' into two general i U.*so —Epic and |
I Lyric. The former ha* outward objects
for it* subject—real or fictitious. Lyric
*ei- forth subjective occurrences. Epic
are heroic—as the Iliad, the .Eneid,
Jerusalem delivered, Orlando Fnrioso: !
j and sacred—as the works of Milton and j
i Oante. The w ritor adds: "Attempts
at Epic jioetry are now rare Instead
of epic |siems we have n->r-U, w liich so
far a* subject is concerned, may lie con
sidered as the epic* of modern civil ami
domestic life."
