They come tyken the sunset

They came when the moonlight

By minutes and hours,
They eeme,frin the forest,
From birds and from dowers.
They come when smile token
Of events past will arise
As a link to the present
And, then they bring sighs ;
They come when some vision
Of hopti and of fears,
Rushes on to the future
And then they bring tears.
they came when the sta mist
O'er ocean is rife,
And tall'of the shadows
That hang o'er our life;
They coma when the tempest
Its thunder end gloom

' Of the mirth and the tomb.
They come when the ripple

And the plover is nestling
By fountain find brake;'
And the twilight looks out
With gems on its breast,
And they whisper that all
Save themselves are at rest.
They come when the light wind
Is fanning the leaves,
They come when - the flower-cup
The dew-drop 'receives.
By night's noontide silence,
By day's noontide, hum,
At all dines, oh, deeply
Arid darkly they come. J. H—s.

THE FLOWER GIRL of FLORENCE
"Adieu, Paniers, 'vendages sont
'bites," is the-pretty mournful refrain
of a Provincial song. If might be sung
now in the City of - Floiyers, which has
new streets and squares, and public
promenadts and fountains, / and banks
and shops, bilt alas there are no more
flower-girls! In the'Caseine and cafes
are now rarely, if ever,• seen those
dainty figures, so jauntily' dreMied, all
possessed of the beauty of youth, and
BOOM rejoicing in a loVelifiess cd'a no
bler and rarer type, carrying basket
fulls of the choicest flowers which they
used to proffer with the•-artless yet,
graceful courtesy of their country to
passers-by. At the end of the season
a sum of money was given for these
t._of •
the trans:it:lien, tho taOng and Ben
ing, was hidden from view. The bou
quets were given and received with
smiles, and cordial words and merry
farewells "until to-morrow" were ex
changed and that, was all.
&bout ten years ago one of those
flowerrgirls was a great favorite, and
especially admired by the foreigners,
English, American, and German, who
stopped to hear the band iu Piazzone
Cascine. , • '• - •
— e•Oh, auntie, look ! what a pretty
girl !" aaid Maud Halifax,
,herself
very-girl, to the lady who was with
hei.„ They had stopped to [mai' the
music on one warm April afternoon.
Maud - had been leaning &tick, tired
and exhausted for 'she was in eery bad
health' When' this lovely vision of a girl
of her own age stood beSide the car
riage and roused her.
•Slic is very pretty," said Mies - Hali•
thx; "but, what is very strange, she is
very mud: like yoa."
"Oh,; tunt I how you . flatter :"
It was the Met, however.; the Eng
lish young lady and the% Ithlian girl
were as like as sisters. Both bad dark
eyes, slightly agni!ine noses, broad,
low foreheads, and beautiful mouths;
but the Italian was as blooming as her
own flowers. -Maud was thin, pale,
and languid.
"Do yen thick I am right?"
.said
Miss Halifax , in French, to a young
Hungarian officer who now came up.
He assented hastily, but not - before
both the faces he had glanced at blush
ed to the roots of the hair, • worn by
both in the same way, drawn back in
simple waves from tholorehead.
The flower-girl hastily throw some
roses into the carriage and vanished.
• "I am tired ; let me go home," said
Maud. - '
"Shall we see you this evening ?"
said Miss Halifax to the officer.
. • "I do not know. Yes, yes; I will
4ome."
The Halifaxes went home.
The young officer followed the
,he l iteld out her litisket. to
him.
"I . told You," said he, with an air of
authority, "that you were never to, go
near that carriage."
"Why ?"
"Never mind; I have my , rensousi
Drodata."
"Shall I never know them 7"
"No, perhaps not."
Re turned on his heel, and 411E1
gone. The girl looked after him
thoughtfully. „ .
"1 wish 1 know," she murmured..
"What do you wish to know ?" said
a young Italian artist who came up
"1 can tell you a great many things.
•Count I.indau, for instance, that
yoUng man who has just been buying
your flowers, is engaged to be married
to the Hell English girl at the- hotel
do la Ville, who is Se ill.' If she lives to
be married he will be a rich man ; for
it is said her father has settled fifty
thousand francs a year on her hus
band. What is the matter, Drodata ?"
"I must go bourn." The poor girl's
very lips were white.
"Come, I will take you,"' ho said;
for he saw she was trembling too
much to be able tO.wnlk.
They stepped 'aside from the htuiy
crowd. The music was pouring forth
its sweet peals of gdy melody, the sky
was bright, and (the flowers ,Prodata
carried seemed laughing up in ago,
Mockery in her face) but she thought
of nothing, heard nothing, but the
-PERSEVERE.-
dreadful wordstrro Malaspina. -bad
spekon: "Count Lindell is-goieg.to be
married:": ,
Why, then, had ho for iho last six
months told her ho loved her, and
loved her only ? Why liud he said
that'he was a I.3ernrian, for that,' as
soon as she had married bird, ho wtiuld
take her frOin Florence; Mid at Pra.

ity and unequality in love- 4 -on. lone

one loves and the other isloyed ; - and
between the active and passive of that

Drodata had no father.. She had
heard he laid died.Wheil ''sho 'Was', an

however, evidently of

him there was no disparity. in _birth

he first became aware of it. It was
fortunate for Liudau that, Carlo could

-When they arrived at the villa poor
Drodata dragged herself

'•Tell mamma," she said, as the tears
streamed down her face:
Ida Benehi listened with set lip's
and kindling eyes. "lle shall not
marry this English girl," she said
"her father shall know what a traitor
he is."
She went up - stairs, kissed the poor,
tear stained chock of her girl, and
went• down again. "Come with me
Carlo," she said.
'Mr. Halifax was at dinner when he
was told ho was wanted. • '
"Who is it ?"
"A. lady. She says she will wait."
"Who is in the drawing room? „
"Maud is there," said Miss Halifax
"She said she would hare sonic tea
there instead of dining with us."
When Mr. Halifax had finished he
went to the drawing•rpom. The lights
had not been lit. •, •
He heard his daughter's voice con

eyes became accustomed to the gloom
he saw a tall, slight form leaning over

At that moment , the waiter came

"Ida I Have the waves given up the
dead ?"
"Is it you—you—you as the poor
woman fell et his feet. ' •
"What is the matter, 'Papa ?" said
Maud, sobbing. There was a good
deal of confusion at first, but finally
Ida was restored to her senses, and
then Mr. Halifax. captained, and 'lda
explained.
lie had married Ida Contarina at
Venice twenty years before. A year
aster their marriage, just before the
birth of her child, Ida's confessor "so

Mr. Halifak, from the moment he
had returned to Italy, had become
'more 'melanchtily and •gloomy than

Undying memories. He felt that his
daughter also would be taken from

r):Avo English gentlemen step
ped into a poifee-house in Paris, where
they observed a tall, old-looking man,
who appeared to be a native, sitting
at ono of the : tables, and looking
around with the greatest stone like
gravity of countenance upon every
object. Soon,after the two Englishmen
entered, ono of them told the other
that a celebrated dwarf had arrived
in Paris. At this the grave looking
personage above mentioned opened
his mouth and spake:
arrive,' said'ho, 'thou arrivest, ho
arrives, ,we arrive, you• arrive, they
arrive.
The Englishman, whose remark
seemed to hare suggested this myster
ious speech, stepped up to the strang
er and asked—
"Did you speak to me, sir ?"
"I speak," replied' tho stranger,
"thou speakest, he speaks, we speak,
you speak, they speak."
"How is this," bald the Englishman
"do you mean to insult me ?"
"The other .replied," insult,,: thou
insultest,„he, insults, we insult, you in•
suit, they : insult." . -
"This is too much," said the English
man; "I,will have satisibetion ; if you
have any spirit. with your rudeness,
come akin, t' with mu." . .
To this defiance the, imperturbable
stranger replied,
"I come; thou comest, he comes; we
come, youi , come, they . come;" ; and
thereupon , he. arose 'with great cool ,

' &CEEB MADE BY LIGHTNING.—The
FVork True Democrat says : Some
;months ago Dr. Charles Nes, of this
borough, called to visit a poor old
lady, four or five miles in the country,
who stood in need of a physician. The
day was a dark and gloomy one, the
rain falling in torrents, and the sky
at times disturked by fierce flashes of
lightning and loud bursts' 'of thunder.
The doctor knew that ha-would get
nothing for his visit and services, yet
prompted by that spirit of benevolence
-for which he is characterized, be never
thehiss started out in the storm to look
after„ this patient. When he arrived
at the house he found that the,
,light

had7mplted,pp, a glin . karrel whickfitt'd
been left standing there. The house
was uninjured: -caroful inspection
of solved metal suggested a thought,
And, that in return:hegat

ail the final result' was the discOvnry
of - the riaaiinfactur'4: Of steel by means
of electricity, for which the doctor now
holds letters patent "from the, goVern•
meat of the United. States, and which,
we are, satisfied,. will be among the
most r itnportant discoveries of the ago.

it, and if it.." hadrint be r en for this eingii

he have received it, probably, under
the aircumstances;,had it been tender
