TOAST. [ lt 'was a grand day In the old chivalric times The a hue circled around the brard in a noble hall, and the sculptured walls rang with senti ment and song. The lady °reach knightly heart was pledged by name, and many a syllable nificant or loveliness had been uttered, until it came to St. Leon's, when lining the sparkling cup on high—] "1 drink to one," he said, "Whose image never may depart, Deep-graven un a grateful heart, Till memory in dead ; To one whose love tor me shall last When lighter passions long have passed, t-o holy 'tis and true ; To one whose love has longer (la eh, More deeply Axed, more keenly Than any pledged to you." Each guest upstarted at the worth And laid a hand upon bin ‘t word, With tirey, tht4lting e3e ; Antl Stanley said. "We crave the mime howl knight, of till+ 11 ht 14 , 1 ie..1.1 ;U.'

St Leon rovo•il as if he writtid Not Itre,tt In: her name in i-trult,s moot' Thai nitoth,r : Then bent Lta noble head as thothili To give that oorti the reeetettcelnc And 1: , 11112. said. ••Mt Mother : ' MISCELLANEOUS READING HILL AND THE W MOW " Wife," raid LW r. on , tnorn:l,7 RS he Sat •tirrinz his eon' e hand and holding it ' , loin!, .01 tta, kno , with the ntlier, and loAed acro- - s the table ..ntai the 1.-igh. s littiv ife, " It. lie a j..ke to get hoehelor R *nttley to tit nw tt.ou to Bart:111n s In.w next week ":" " You can't do if, Ed : he won't ask filer; h e 's s o awful shy.

But Bill was bashful—al, at s oat and when Susan Berrybottl,., that he aas sweet on (though he tier, r sad •hoo' to her) got married to old Watson, lie just druwed in his head like a imulturtle into his shell, and there wag no getting him out again, though it had been noticed that since Sosati had become a widow, he hail paid more attention 'to hie clothes and had been very reg ular in his attendant- , at the church that the lair widow attended. But here comes Ed. ‘Vilber. "Good morning Mr. Smiler." " Good morning, Mr. Wilber. What's the news your way ?" " Oh, nothing particular. that I know of," said Ed, ", only that Barnnm's show that every body is talking about, and ev erybody and his girl is going to. I was over to old Sackrider's. Let night, and I see his son Gus. has got a new buggy and was scrubbing up his harness, and he's got the white faced colt of his as slick as a seaL I understand he thinks of taking the Widow Watson to the show. He's been a hanging around there tt good deal of late, but I'd just like to cut him out, I would. Susan is a nice little Woman, and deserves a better man than that young pup of a fellow, though I wouldn't blame her mach if she takes him, for she must be dreadful lonesome, and then she has to let her farm' out on shares and it isn't half worked, and no one else seems to have spunk enough to speak up to her. By jingo I if I were a tingle man I'd show him a trick or two." So saying, Ed borrowed some bags, started around the corner of the barn, where he had left Bill sweeping, and put his ear to a knot hole and listened, know ing that the bachelor bad a habit of talk ing to himself when anything worried him. "Confound thatb , ouug Sack rider!" said Bill : "what business has be Uteri I'd like to knew. Got a new buggy, has he ? Well, soliave I, .and new harness, too ! and his horse can't come in sight of mine; and T .d . eclare I've half a mend to—. Yes, I will !

Last year, I went to Europe on one of the'finest vessels that ever plowed the waters of the Atlantic. We had very beautiful weather until very near amend of the voyage ; then came a most terrible storm that would have sunk ell on hoard had it not been (or the captain. Every spar was laid low, the rudder was almost useless, and a great icak had shown itself threatening to fill the ship. The crew were all strong willing men, and the mitten were practical seamen of the first el tee ; but after pumping for one whole night, and the water still gaining upon them, they gave up to dispair, and pre pared to take the boats, though they might have known no small boat could ride such :1 sea. The eaptain who had been below with his chart., now came up; he ease how metiers stood, aid with voter that I heard distinctly above Cie roar of tho tempf-st, ordered every man to his post.

Haver The linglldi Trade In Roses. ——o— A wr'itiir the,Engh.sil Gardener's May-, ,frine says: "..t several of the London nurseries where roses are made a leading feature it is common to hear the remark as the autumn days approach,' We have budded a hundred thousand briars, and we hays half as many again ready for sale as soon as lifting begins.' We could show twelve acres of roses is a piece, to say nothing of several houses tilled with pot roses. If we reckon the twelve acres tilled Unit briars a mile apart, the total will be nearly 00.000. We could name several nurseries where from 120.000 to 1.50,010 briars are biotite(' annually, and several more where the number averages from 30,000 to 00.000. One of our friends in the Ida& spends all totally 2,000 pounds iu briars and labor in making outdoor roses. hiring cast up a series of totals of this kind that we imam pretty well rely on, we are satisfied the sale of roses must exceed a million annually. If we reckon these worth one shilling each, the total (*fit to the public, w in be £500,000. But we have vet to consider the pot roses and the uew roses. and all kinds of odds and ends of a commercial nature of which ru ses am the subject, and we shall probably have to add an equal amount of these. which brio , op the total to pOO,OOO.

He La in correspondence with many ot the leading minds on astronomy In this country. Bach went to school until fifteen years ofage and was then apprenticed to the bloc , ntith trade. At the age ut twelve he began the study of astronomy, and read much on the subject after working hours. A Frenchman named Maimed paid some attention to his education. Basch served his apprenticeship In full. At We tv years of age ha fell heir to a large lot of m- Ntrumenta, the property-of an aged astronomer. lbach determined to learn the profession of the dead man. lie worked incessantly, and finally gained his point.
