The Fortune In the Daisy.
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.
You may wear your virtues as a crown
As you walk through Mi. serenely,
And grad your simple rustic gown
With a grace far more than queenly.
Though only one for you shall awe,
one only speak your
And you never wear in your shining hair
A richer dower than daisies!

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.

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.

Hard of Hearing—A Love Story'
A vottug Jonathan once courted the
daughter of eu old Mall that lit et/ "down
east," who professed 'to be deficient iu
hearing, but, forsooth, who was more cap
tious than limited in heariug, as the se
quel will show.

resolved to "piip IC to the old man the
next day; "but," said he, "as I think on ;
the task my heart shrinks. - To he brief,
night passed, and by the dawn of anuth- 1
er day the old mat was to be found iu his,
barn lot feeding Ifni pigs. Jonathan rose
from bed early in the morning spied the ,
old man feeding his pigs and resolved to
ask him for Sal. . _
Scarce had a minute elapsed, after.bm

the old 'man ••good morning." Now
Jonathan's heart heat.; nomplitf Eeratehed

the old man thus—

By this time the old lady came up, and having observed Jonathan's unfortunate

man's ear and screamed like s wounded

"Daddy, I say, daddy, you don't under

Old Man—"l told him our calf halter

Old Lady—" Why, daddy, you can't un
derstand ; he's got gold, he's rich I" ,
Old Man—" He's got a cold and the
itch, eh!" 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

A farint.r residing in Bristol, Ogtario
county. in this State, is a somnambulist.
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.) Times.
