Across the dewy green she slept,
In the Sweet freshness of the morn,
While yet the tears that night had wept
-Glistened on glass and hedge row thorn.
No fairy maiden she, whose tread
The yielding clover did not stir;
liolverelepaiSed its head, • „

. .
The bloom of spring was on her cheek,
The light of morning m her eye ;
fler lips half parted, as to speak,
And wreathed with maiden witchery.
With quick, elastic, dancing feet
alung the dewy grass ;
'TWould wake - the dullest pulse to meet
This pretty, blithesome farmer's lass.
And many a rustic lad she met,
And greeted with a pleasant smile.
Though well she knew, the:trill csignette,
- Who waited for her at the stile—
Who waited - for her at the stile.
Down in time green, secluded dell;
And yet to each she gave a stale,
As silo slept lightly toward the well.
ner:rustle lovers, as she passed,
Staybd their own steps to:look at leer;
And at eactistdelong glance she cast,
Felt their young pulse beat quicklier;
'Twas pleasant foohng,yab one knew,
For each one knew (and sighed !) full well
Who waited at the rendezvous
Down near the well-side in the dell.

[ 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

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—.

wardly if he would have more courage to
talk up to her, until at the distance of
about a mile of her house he came to a

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

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.
It was surprising to see these men bow
before the strung will of their captain,
urd I,;:rry back to the pumps. The cap
tain then started below to examine the
lent:. As lie passed me I asked him if
ther, was any hope. He looked at me,
and then at the other passengers, who had
crowded ap to hear the reply, and said,
rebuking,ly :
"Yes, sir, them is hope as long as one
inch of this deck remains above water ;
whe,n I see none of It, then I shall aban
don the vessel, and nor, before. not-one of
my crew, su. Everythlng shall be done
to save ii, and if we fail it will not be

Thri(e di,ring the day did we despair ;
but the Captain's dauntless courage, per

again.
I will land you safely at the dock in

The linglldi Trade In Roses.

A wr'itiir the,Engh.sil Gardener's May-,

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.
