Of whet are you dreaming, my pretty maid, With your feet in the summer clover Ah ! need not hang your modest head— ! know 'tis about your lover. I know by the blushes on your cheek, Though you strive to hide the token ; And I know because you will not speak The thought that is unspoken. You are counting the petals one by one, Of your dainty, dewy posies ; To find from your number, when 'tin done, The secret it discloses. You'd am if he waltz with gold and land The lover that is to woo you ; Or only brings his heart in his hand. For your heart and your hand to sue you. Beware, beware what you say sod do, Fair maid, with your feet in the clover; For the !mores! man that conies to woo May be the richest lover. Since not by outward shoe• or sign, Can you reckon worth'seue measure, Who only is rich in soul and mind, May offer the greatest treasure. AL! there never wax power in gems alone To bind a brow from aching ; Nor strength enough in a jeweled zone To hold a heart from breaking. Then be not catight by the sheen and glare or %; orkny «calUi and splendor; But speak hint soft, and speak hint fair, Whose hears is true and tender.

U;E=3IUII Ei=MEE The Life of Iron A scientific paper,.discoursing on "The Life of an Iron Bridge." remarks:— It sounds a little oddly to hear of the life of an inanimate thing. But it seems to be pretty well settled, that things in animate, as well as animate, have life per iods, varying according to circumstances. Thus iron itself, when wrought into cer tain useful things, has a period beyond which it cannot Le said to have life suffi cient for the purpose fur which it was wrought. It is not simply liable to be used up by wear and tear ; but also to Jose its tenacity and elasticity, and to be disin tegrated and weakened—in short, to lose its life and become useless long before it is worn out, and even when not worn at all. For example, a wrought-iron girder-bridge can bear only a certain amount of daily use, without rapid depreciation of strength. It must hue.. aaneone of re-et from t.t ruin, just as an animal regnires rest, and its life depends an these. If subjected to a heavy strain, often repeated. with little inter vening rest, its life will be proportionate ly loss than it would be under other cir cumstances. The Engineer has gone into certain cal culations to show how long a Wrought iron bridge may be expected to lire tinder I •'yen circumstances. And it comes to the elusion that: such a bridge, subject at intervals to a dynamical load, nut (*Ted ing a fourth part of its powers of ultimate resistance—that is to say. not subjected t, this strain more than one hundred times in twenty-four hours—may be safe to trav el forhbont 828 years. But, as Many. of the hardest worked iron railroad bridges are subject to twice, or even thrice this number of daily strains, the conclusion reached is, that a girder-bridge cannot be safely counted on for more thou ahont one hundred : years. These calculations, if re liable—and we see why they may not Be— are very important tont] nsers snb ject to heavy strains. They tend to show hat a thing may be as strong us the best iron can snake it. and yet be subject to loss! of strength and life even without wear. ; - A Terrible Winter The winter of 1740 is described in an old book quoted by a German paper us very terrible. This work, "Brocke's Con tentment in God," thus awake of it : "An unheard of frost seized with extraordina ry severity on the world And elements, so that it is scarcely possible to number or relate the many strange occurrences that took place through its violence. Men felt so oppressed that days passed by u n heeded, One would, and could hardly speak"; one sat and thonght, yet could not think ; if any one spoke a word it was with a hard set face. Many hens and ducks, even the cattle in the stalls, died of cold ; the trees split asunder. Not only beer but wine in cellars froze. Deeply sunken wells were covered with impenetrable ice. Crows and other birds fell to the grunnd frown in their flight. No bread was eatable, for I it was as cokland hard as a stone." Brocke further relates that this extraordinary winter was follewed by an equally nneom mon spring. in May no sign of verdure was yet to he seen ; tt was still cold in Ju le. and vegetation was then still further hindered by drought. TT,c harvest was not over till late in the antumn, and by the middle of October the frost returned before the fruit in the gardens had time ' to ripen. _ ~:710() VarIii•;:NTIMBER-'. TO. R. E. LEE: An Interview with the Chieftain. David McCrea is furnishing the Was- , gow (Scotland) Herald with a series of in- 1 teresting sketches of American Men and women. He described his first interview with lien. Lee as follows: "When. I got back to the hotel I found that Lee s who was aware of my coming. had already (with 'the courtesy so eon spicuoas among a class of Americans) sent his servant to inquire if I had ar rived, and to say that he would like to see me at the College. "On going there after breakfast, I was I taken up stairs and shown into the room set aside for the use of the College Presi dent. "A noble-looking num, dressed in a gray military coat, who had been writing at a table near the window, rose as I en tered. lie was tall, straight and soldier like, with crisp hair turning white ; short trimmed beard, pointed at the chin, and dark imperial-looking eye:, very keen and searching. It was Robert E. Lee, the old Confederate commander. "As the first word of greeting passed between us, there was a hidden sadness in his look which impressed me painfully, lie was suffering from HI-health at the time; but it was not a look of physical pain. Perhaps it was only my feeling, but It seemed as if the shading of the past was over him—as if r•on could read be hind the vigilance of his dark eyes the fate of the South, and of the myriad who lay sleeping on the battle-fields. "When I was seated he began to in quire where I had liven iu the South, and about my journey up—smiling at the somewhat doleful account I had to give him of my experience in the stage from Goshen. He said there was another road I might hale taken—the one from Stan ton. "But they say whichever road you take, you wish 'by that you had taken the other." He had . been twice by the Goshen road on horseback. The scenery was very grand. ••fie began to speak about Scotland. and said.:—`You will meet with many of your countrymen here: The Valley - of Vir ginia is peopled with Stoteh-trish—peo ple who have coin, from Scotland hr way of Irn•land.

So saying, the old man struck at Jonathan, with his walking cane,- but happily for Jonathan he dodged it Nor did the rage of the old man stop at this, but with angry countenance he made after Jonathan, who took to his heels, nor did Jonathan's luck stop here; he had not got far from the barnyard nor fat from the old man, he run him a close race, ere Jonathan stumped his toe and fell to the ground, and before the old man could "take np," he stumbled over Jon athan, and fell sprawling into a mudhole. Jonathan sprang to his heels, and with the speed of John Gilpin cleared himself. And poor Sal, she died a nun. Never had any husband.

One jay while working in a field he lost un iron tooth from a harrow, with which he was putting in his wheat crop. He hunted an hour to find it, but was unsuc cessful. Dnring the ensiling night he rose from his bed, partially dressed himself and star ted out. The night was very dark;_ one of his boys followed him with a lantern. He kept up a running talk with himself about the " drag tooth." He Walked in a straight line to the field where he had been laboring, perhaps a quarter of a mile from his residence. Arriving at a certain point he stopped short, kicked away some earth, and brought forth the miss ing tooth ! Then turning square around he proceeded directly to his home. Arriving, at his axior Are performed the feat of lifting the heavy stone step, which required the combined strength-of himself and another man to raise the next morn ing. He threw the iron under the step, let down the stone easily, saying, " There you are, and can't get away again;" then coolly. and apparently without the least excitement, retired to his chamber, disrobed himself and went to bed. He was entirely unconscious the next morning of what he had been doing. • Now the question is, what peculiar power enabled the man to perform this wonderful feat ? It would seem little less than a miracle, but of its truth as related there is no doubt.-7'roy (N. Y.)
