DREAMINGS
I pause upon the lakelet's rim—
Thu waves, unfurling, upwar•l creep
In murmurs suit as thy sweet voice.
Whose music tulle my woes to Sleep.
I watch the trembling moonbeams move
And shimmer on the rippled sheet ;
And in the sparkling mirror find
Thine image pictured at my feet.
I see the linLoring dewdrops cling
Unto the waving lily's crest,
Ami watch the trembling beauties shook
In fragments from their peaceful nest.
I fear, lest hopes that cling to us
Like these may vanish into spray,
Before the many joys that sweep
The sweetest joys of life away.
And then a jealous lover's dread—
Lt fancy's fabric: of the mind—
Makes me clasp thee to nay breast,
And flee—to leave the world behind
To unknown naiad kingdoms flee,
Where years us softly drift as hours ;
And e'en the breezes are too kind
To toed( the dewdrops from the flowers
I crown thee with a rosy wreath
That steals the blushes of thy face,
And start—alas ! delusive dream
Ere I can feel thy fond embrace.
'AL ! truly this is more than love,
I give to thee my peerless queen !
It is the echo of my heart
Of what my soul's desire has been
THE WEEDS OF THEUEADT
The weeds of the heart how they flourish and
thrive .
In the beautiful summer of life ;
How they spread their green banners to catch
the bright showers,
And hide from the sunhght the sweet spring•
ing flower's,
Till the air with their poison is rife.
Oh, gather them early, dear children, I pray.
The buds and the blossoms of sin
Don't think it sufficient to plunk up the shoots
But deeper and deeper dig hard at the route
• That arc fastened so tirmly
The *reeds of the heart may look stately and
lair,
And glow in their emerald sheen,
Rot you'll never mistake them for plants that
If you weed youth's Wt . garden with patience
arid care,
And keep all its winding paths clean.
Dig hard and uproot7cvery vestige of pride,
Or sin, in no matter what miise ;
But while you are earnestly pulling up weed',
Take care that you scatter abroad'no vile seeds
Again in your garden to rise.
When the weeds of the heart are uprooted and
gime,
Plant ftw.beautiful roses of love.
Let the ivy of trust and the Mlles of truth,
Climb about on the walls of thy stalwart
youth,
Tin they rcpelt Heaven's garden above,
ffieletted ffitorg.
MY NIECE NINA.
Nina! Such an absurd fantastic
uame to give a child ! But, then, Adeline
was full of fantastic notions. I suppose
th. re vief,!•r was two sisters more unlike
than she and I. As long ago as I can re
member, I think I possessed what might
be termed correct views of life. I believe
I can, without any semblance of beauti
fullness,lay claims to a lair share of com
mon sense and sound judgment. What
ever duty lay before me I did without
demurring. I was no dreamer, never
locked myself up in my chamber to woo
the muse and spend hours—days—that
had better have been devotee to more
practical employment, torturing incom
prehensible sentences into rhyme and
measure.
But Adeline, oh ! I used to get so out
of patience with. She imagined she had
a talent for writing (that is, I suppose
she did ; she never said anything of the
kind. Adeline was no talker,) and it was
the ruin of her. I used to do and say all
I could to cure her of the notion, but my
efforts were of no avail. What an amount
of time she contrived to waste with her
scribblinga— verses or whatever senseless
thing. I thought ; but there was some
who did not agree with me—Nivison, for
instance. (How angry I got with him
one day during a discussion we were !lav
ing as to the merits of one of her new
poems. ,
I foresaW just how it would turn out
when these two were married. I knew it
would he a struggle for existence, for the
fellow wasn't worth a cei.t,aud was a par
son in the bargain. I did all I could to
prevent it, I know that. But father al—
ways woulc, let her have her own way.—
So married they were, and' off they went.
Well, I expect she saw some pretty hard
times our there in Wisconsin, so far from
the parental pocket-book—which I need
to suspect, even at that distance, was
occasionally drawn upon.
I never could comprehend why father
should think so much more of Adeline
than of me. To be sure, she was always
coaxing and palavering about him, like
the great , baby she was, calling him
names, embroidering slippers and dress—
ing,gowns, concocting dainty diahvs for
him and all that: I had no time for such
folderol, with the housekeeping on- my
hands and the necessity devolving on me,
the elder of iB . WO motherless daughters
to represent the family in .sodiety. That
after my: long aad faithful discharge of
duty he Should,- in his will, divide 1118
property equally between us seemed to
me an act of input:lsable favoritism.
. . . .
After father's death no correspondence
passed between Adeline and myself, and,
indeed, se neVer Met-Igain. Of Cu;.ni.
then, Mali years of seperation and By
trangment, it was., a" matterof no little
surprw to my-husband and myself all at
once tolhid ourselves appointed guardian
of her child: sot- regularly appointed
guardians, it is true - ; Mr, both parents
having been suddenly. and
. within a few
days of cacti
-other carried off by a: con
tageous feve,- no arrangement having
been made concerning her. ,At least so
We.were informed by an acquaintance of
theirs, OM wane to., us; the nearest rel.
atives,4n4niring,what shoUld be done in
the case. • . •
"Stand by the Sight though the Ileavene AMP
My husband went on directly. disposed
of their effects (the proceeds he afterwards
invested in railroad stock ; a very profit
able one, too, it has proved, compensating,
us in a measure for our care and trouble.)
On his return he brought Nina with him.
Could I have anticipated all I should
doubtless have prevented this. But the
child was only• ten at the time—that was
eight years ago—and so exceedingly shy
and quiet I could not possibly foresee the
trouble I was bringing upon myself. Nev.
ertheiess, must admit that I had an un
comfortable presentiment when, at first
sight, I noticed her close likeness to her
mother, it'd, later, when I foamd the re
semblanc.• consisted not in look alone.—
She was Adeline's counterpart in manner
te peram n t—everything.
I have heard some say they thought
Nina pretty. I never could see it. She
was too pate by half, and her eyes—well,
' I never could bear ti. have her look at
me. In fact, I will confess it here, I nev
er liked the girl, However, I have tried
to du my duty by her. If she had any
other kith or kir. to go to I should have
hesorned about taking her in. Bat she
hadn't, and there was no alternative.
I resolved on the start she should be of
some use to me, and that I would have
no tine lady airs. , And I must say she
has been serviceable in caring for the
children. (1 have been able to dispense
with a housemaid since her coming—at
least one item off our bill of expendir are
—and is these days it does require so
much money to live and keep up any
kind of style.)
Ot course I could not allow her the
same educational advantages of my own
childrec. How much she has contrived
to pick tip I cannot say. She inherited
her mothers taste for reading, and, no
doubt, for scribbling too. But I was de
tertnin:d not to have a repetition of that
thlly. I would have no more bockwomen
about me ; and as often as I caught her,
duster in hand and sweeping-capon head,
idling over Shakespeare or Milton, or
dear knows what not. I have taken the
book away and bidden her attend to her
work. I fear however, delibquincies of
this sort are not the only ones of which
alio has been guilty. One day,l remember
I had been out shopping, and, on return•
ing. found her singing or.e of Estelle's
snags, accompanying herself on the pi—
an.d. Of course, I couldn't have that. It
dues injure a piano so to he drummed
upon.
How indignant Estelle was when I told
her about it. The dear child! I only
wish she might have been spared the
many annoyances she has endured from
hating that gill in the house. I know
very well what a trial it has been to her
to have Nina always wearing about the
dresses she had outgrown ; but that was
an economical way which could not well
be avoided, and I have been careful to
k,ep her out of sight as much as possible
whenever my daughters' acquaintances
were with us.
if I had only managed a little more
adroitly when Walter Hansom was here I
last. winter. If I Could have foreseen
what has transpired I should certainly
have got her out of the way for the time
being. I might have sent her off to
Cousin J.etilima's ' • or, perhaps, I should
not have invited him to remain. A young
man who could behaie with such shock—
ing rudeness little deserved even that for
ever.
But business which would detain
him several days brought him to our city.
He happened to call upon my son Fred,
with whom he had been intimate at col—
lege, and so it was very natural that I
should ask him to be our guest during
his stay. A young man of property, tal
ent, and prepossessing appearance, it oc—
cured to me it might be a pleasant ar—
rangement to bring him and Estelle to
gether in this friendly . fashion. So I
pry-vailed on him to remain with us.—
(How often since have I deplored my cor
diality upon this occasion.) •
Of course we did everything in our
power to make the visit agreeable. He
and Estelle rode, Sang, played billiard, at
tended the opera—in short, was almost
constantly in each other's society, and
matters seemed to be prospering finely,
'
• when what should I discover one, morn—
ing on entering the library but Walter
and Nina sitting side by side on the sofa„
She had been sweeping, I suppose, and
he had come in and found her there. I
did not think it possible she would ven
ture to address or engage in conversation"
with a guest in the house like that. I
never allowed her to sit at the table or
meet socially with our visitors, all of
whom, doubtless, had theimpression the
was one of the domestics.
I think I• stared at her a full moment
in mute amazement. She quailed visibly
under my gaze. "Nina, you may go up
stairs and look after the childreil, 3 ' I said, -
sternly.
She left the room without a word. I
wished afterwards I had concealed my
vexation, at least before Ransom ; for
immediately after breakfast (he had been.
unusually silent during the meal) he an
nounced his intention to depart on the.
next train, nothing could dissuade him
from his purpose.
I thought it extremely impolite in him
to leave so uncer;momously, considering
all the trouble we had taken to entertain
him, his attentions to Estelle, and know
ing as he did, that we had sent our invi
tations to a donde for hat very evening.-
an entertatnrnrent got Wecially on his
account.
Estelle, poor child, s almost incort
solable,'and as for soli I Could only
give vent to my ieelin by taking Nina
to task. I reprimanded 'her sharply.—
What was my surprise when at last she
remarked :
"Why, Aunt Charlotte, I didn't think
there could be any harm in speaking to
him. We used to be neighbors at Havre-
His father's • house was next- to
ours.. We used to ,play. together. We
went to the:same school.
I. couldn't find a word to say. • How
I knew that he hed.evei lived in
Havrerille .
Well; in a few days there'cotrie a letter
addressed in a masculine band_ to Nina.
I tboulzht it best to examine its contents
before delivering it her: I thought
best to End out for myself what sort of
person might be writing to Miss Nina.
It was from -Ransom 1 It ''began.witb s
‘.‘Dearest Nina untitled to her unhappy
iittuatimi, and the trials *She was obliged
to undergo, - (the ungrateful gird what
falsehoods shesonst have told him 1)-and
emhd by asking hor if she had any objec
tions to corresponding.

Nina never enjoyed a perusal of that
interesting letter. I threw it into the
lire. I considerPd I was doing a favor in
preventing a promising young man from
wasting his sympathy and ink in that
foolish fashion. And besides I still hoped
that if the ease were handled carefully I
might yet bring about a more satisfactory
understanding between him and dear Es.

As for Nina, I was out of patience
with her I should certainly, then and
there, hare bidden her take, her departure
—seek her own livelihood in s.nne way or
other (she might teach, perhaps, in a pri
mary school, I thought; might do any
thing. I didn't care what, if only she got
herself oat of the way,) but the young
children were just then coming down
with the measles, and I could not well
dispense witn her services.
Some weeks later, the little ones har
ing entirely recovered, "now," said I to
myself, "it is time to speak." I was re
volving the matter in my mind one after
noon as I took a short cut through the
park on my way home from a call I had
been making. I caught sight of Nina
through the shrubbery as I passed along.
She had the baby out in his carriage for
pH airing. A man was walking beside
her. I approached. "This girl must be
Watched as long as she remains with me,"
I thought.
This man was Ransom I He saluted
me in the most courteous mannerpossible.
"Nina, I think the little darling has been
out long enough. Hadn't you better be
going home ?" speaking in the mildest
tones I could command.
Ransom hastened to relieve her of her
charge, turning
.the carriage toward the
part- untr o ,nor and intabilq, it !liaison—
No sooner had we reached the house door
than, pausing, he took Nina's hand in
his. It was right there on the street, in
broad daylight. I could but wonder at
his audacity. Well, I don't recall his ex
act words. I know he made a very smooth
litttle speech, the substance of which was,
he wanted my consent to their marriage.

so great was my astonishment. At last I
managed to say :
"Mr. Ransom it is a matter of perfect
indifference to me in what manner this
young woman may choose to dispose of
herself. I only know that I close my doors
to her—now and forever.
And with that I lilted baby from his
carriage and passed in.
I suppose they went straightway to a
clergyman, for their marriage notice ap
peared in the next morning's paper.
And that is the last I have heard or

the jetty eyebrows ; but the liquid orbs
beneath avoided mine, and that encour—
aged me to be saucy in turn.
• "It is of no consequeue,. that you
should, of course ; but you don't imag•
ine that you were going to flirt all sum
mer with a fellow of my staminy,and get
off unsinged yourself."
"Why not ? You don't seem serwasly
damaged," she laughed.
"But I am. My heart is shrivelled crisp
as a wailer."
"Really ? I don't know what can be
done about it."
"I am going to show you." And so
On for half an hour. We spoke jesting
ly, both of us, but the laugh with each
other c,;iNered deeper feelings.
She .was beautiful, my Margare' l t ; fond
of homage—as what woman is not ? anal
accustomed tc, receiving it. It was not
her fault, after all, that I loved her, but
'her glory, as au honest man's love is al—
ways a true woman's glory ; and Marga
ret was a true woman though I had call—
ed i her a flirt.
She was promised in marriage to Ross
Bentley before she ever saw me ; long
enough. Ile had stopped a horse which
had been running away with her, and so
saved her life. When he asked her to
give him what he had saved, what wo—
man with gratitude and a whole heart
would not have said 'yes," as she did ?
Besides she loved him for aught I knew.
I had seen him,and he was a handsome
enough man to win a woman's love, if
beauty would do it.
A handsome-couple, but somehow, see
in;; the two together they did not seem
to think much' of each other; and so I
took tours e. Certainly. Margeret nev
er looked et Ross when I wag by, as be
bad looked at me many a time that sum—
mer, as we two pleasantly strolled along
the beach.
Ross Bentley once stayed a week, and
went back to town. He was a man of
busi n ess. keenly devoted to money mak
ing
; fonder of that, I fancied, than of
the beautiful woman -he had won, and
upon that imagining I hung another
hope. Margeret was an heiress. If Mar
garet was dowerless. I fancy that Mr.
Bentley would never have weed her. But
bow to prove it.
Margaret and I did not relapse into
the old fashion of strolling about the
beach by moonlight after Ross Bentley
had come and gone,and we stopped loo,t
ing and talking nonsense, watching each
other furtively. I felt cnaident that
Margaret was wondering if
. I had any—
thing to do with those moods - of pensive
ness .which had come upon my dark eyed
queen of late.
day I found her upon the balcony
with anopen letter in her band. "
"I am a very foitiinate girl," she said,
glancing at the letter._ "Did you knoiv
that Clark. Vernon & Co., the bankers in
flew York, had failed last Week ' _
heard of it. -
"The bulk of my fortune was in their
bands at one time. I did not know but
it was still. My guardian - writes me,hosv.
ever, that he. removed it months age,"
I came f,rth eagerly at that, extend;
lag my hand.
"P. rmit me to nongrattilate you, Miss
Stone." • -
Margaret laughed rather confusedly' as
she put herlittle halal In mine. ; . 1, Raw
that ttho surpris& ut my Minaual
eagerness.
"Miss Stone, did you believe me whoa
I said that I loved you, somewhere about
a mouth ago ?"
Margaret colored vividly, as she gave
me a doubting look.
"Yes. What of it ? Do you want to
take it back now ?"
"Not I. But in consideration of my
great affection for you, I want you to do
a favor for me."
"Name it." she said looking much pua
zled.
"I um going up to New York to-mor—
row. Will you humor me by premitting
me to be the bearer of a letter from your
self to Mr. Bentley ?"
"This is an odd request."
"I am aware of it. Will you write to
Mr. Bentley a ietler, asking him' to en
quire into this matter of the bank failure
and let you know huiy serious a Matter it
really is ?"
"Brit I don't care about knowing.'
"I do."
"Why not inquire for yourself ?"
"lie has so much better facilities for
investigation. The truth le,Miss Stone, I
am very much interested in this failure,
and Mr. Bentley can find out all about
it for me. But I don't like to ask him
to do so much for a comparitive stran—
ger.
Margaret looked doubtful still, but she
wrote the letter, and I took it to the city
the next day.
hoes Bentley grew slightly pale as he
read.
"4 suppose you know that the bulk of
l'ifisk Stone's fortune was in the hands of
CIA: Vernon & Co." I carelessly ob—
served.
"I was not aware of it." Bentley said,
losing another shade of color.
"Oh, well, it was. Can anything be
saved out of the crash, Mr. Bentley do
you suppose ?"
"lot anything, I am very sure," he
stammered. And thinking he might
like to meditate upon the aspect of af
fairs, I took my departure, saying that I
would call before I went away again to
take any message he might like, to trust
to me.
When I called the ti:xt day.he gave me
a letter for Margaret., but he rooked any—
where but at me as I took it.
I caught a glimpse at Margiret's blue
dress on the piazza as we drove up to the
hotel; and without waiting to go to my
room first, I hastened to her, and gate
her the letter. -
Then, much as I would like to have
stayed until stie had read it. had no ex
cuse for doing so, and therefore left her.
Pivaited with something more than cu
riosity for her appearance at dinner time,
but she did not come at all. I ate noth
ing myself, and spent the evening pacing
the piazza with my cigar, and watching
her window. But not so much as a shad
ow of what I watched tor crossed my vis
ion.
Rememberilir , Bentley's face as he.gave
me the letter, I could imagine that he
had written something unpleasant; but
even 1 was not prepared for the contents
of the missive Margaret placed in my
sands the following morning, coming
suddenly upon me where I lounged on
the shore.
"I suppose that is what you went to town
fur," she said. with an angry scorn, under
which I quailed, for I felt guilty ; and as
I read I winced again.
The scoundrel I A more disgraceful
epistle I never perused. If Margaret
had ever loved him ever so dearly, this
would have certainly ended it. He dis—
solved the engagment without so much
as saying "by your leave." He did in
deed, say something about hastening to
speak while there was yet an uncertainty
as to how get lonely the failure had involv
ed other people. But that was the mer
est gloss, and only gave Margaret clue to
the selfish reasons for this extraordinary
conduct,
I folded the letter and gave it back
without a remark. •
"Wellereal:y you have nothing to say ?"
she asked.
~ S hall I challenge him to mortal com
bat with horsewhips ?"
Tears of anger sparkled in Margarets
beantifzil eyes.
"How could yon humiliate me so ?"
'•I ? Miss Stone."
"I beg your pardon, Mr. Gourney," she
said haughtily.
"And I beg plurs,llliss ,Stone, for tned.

of anything quite so cold blooded.. Shall
you break your heart about such a fool.

"Weed, nut ! but I am veryangry."
"At whom, him or me ?"
"At both of you." ,
I suppose I must have looked terribly
abashed and confoanded—l tried to, for
she put a little hand on my arm,and then
would have swiftly withdrawn it, but I
captured the frail thing and held it.
"I suopose I ought to be very thankful
to you,' l she said, struggling a little, and
blushing in the most lovely manner.
"If you will permit me, I will punish
him for you," I said gravely.
She looked up inquiringly.
"By marrying you."
•
"Oh ?
"Don't you think it would ?" Isaid.
"Perhaps."
We were quite sure of it the first titue
we chanced to meet Bentley after our
miirriage. His face was as good ilia pie

Oh, the helpless, frightened babies—
Still they come, and stir, they go.
All the world is full of children,

Wishing to be older, larger,

Still they come and still they go.
All the world is of lovers,
Walking slowly, whispering sweet;
Dreaming dreams, and building castles
That must crumble at their feet
Breaking vows and burning letters,
Smiling,lest the world shall know,
Oh, the foolish trusting lovers—
Still they come and still they go.
All the' world is full of people,
ilariying, rushing, pushing by,
Bearing burdens, carrying crosses,
Passing onward with a sigh ;
Some there are with smiling faces,
But with heavy hearts below,
Oh. the sad -eyed burdened people,

And emerald award with shamrock-flakes
Charmed gratefully the eye.
I thought of Erin's glories past,
Her flag that waved beside my own.
When southern shot fell thick and fast,
Where brother's blood was sown.
I thought of Emmet, brave and young,
Who died to hallow Erin's name ;
I thought of all her bards who flung

Of Moore and his warm patriot strain,

ADVERTISING RUSES

I=l
Besides queer and curious advertisements, of
• blob a number of examples were Oven in the.
World, the ruses nmiett advertisers now and
then reeort to, are worth recording and form an
interesting study,
One daring genius, for instance, not long ago
called on a large advertiSing concern in this
city and proposed to post the advertisement of
a patent plaster for the chest on the tomb
stones in Greenwood Cemetery, Of course a
howl of indignation would haVe been raised
front Illaine to Texas, and the plaster would
thereby have received an advertisement that
hundred's; of thousands, of dollars could not
have purchased. The agent, however, declined
the tempting offer, much to the youth's aston
ishment,who drearnt that he had made the hap
py discovery which Was to float him on the full
tide to fortune. .

the following method
Desiring to have his goods Introduced exten

number of men to "work," es the politicians
say,• the various wards . of the city. One of
these canvassers would enter, cigar store and
ask , the proprietor for a - Paper of "Anderson's
tine-cut." The tobacciatist, in all probability,
had never heard of the article, but recommend
ed some other maker's, which_ the canvasser
contemptuously declined. •In about an hour
another customer would come in and, make a
similar deputed; Mid beforektloiveck was over
the prokietor would tied, so many inquiries for
this sliecial brand that be was compelled to
mala purchase, and as the article was only
sold In large packagfN, it became necessary for
I him, In order to effect asale, to recommend it
to his customers, end BO the article' became
quite popular. .• •

The canvassers were oftentimes compelled to
buy,but as the goods were returned to the man

transaction... Ten men - , therefote, at a salary or

The f l orillards also placarded the advertise

that habit is second nature, the man who pur.
chased this brand for the sake of a pmbable

These youths had books similar to those used
by telegraph messengers s and their duty was to
deliver kt various resideties what purported to

these ominous looking missives of'course there
was a great 'commotion in the house. Thp boy

THE LITERIOR OF THE OCEAN
The popular ideas with record to the sinking
of bodies in the sea have usually been quite
unscientific. Some have theorized to the clTect
that, cases of ships which founder at sea,
they sink to 'a certain depth, and then float
about until broken to pieces, or prawn upon
some bank beneath the sea—indeed,a book was
some time ago published sustaining this
Others, again, arguo._that, the buoyant feria of
the water at great depths is enormous, and due
to the whole pressure of the water abore, end
that all bodies which aro lighter than, Water at
the surface will, if sunk to the bottom and de
tached tom the sinker, shoot upward with
great velocity, or, in other tvordi. that the den-
sity of water • increases directly -. with the
depth. -
Now, it is proved by the most reliable inves
tigations that, though the pressure increases
with the depth=-oven to the.amount of fifteen
pounds upon Wry square inch for 'every thirty,
four feet in depth--the density is 'not (hereby
increased:sensibly, owing to the incompressibil
ity of the water ; so that, in realitymeither 'the
lus6yant force, nor the resistance to the motion
of any body, is sensibly augmented from:tho,

At the depth of B,ooo_ fathom's, for instance;
the pressure upon - a square limb is nearty 8,000
pounds, but' the columnof 18,000 feet of water
is only shortened about GO feet.
The density is thus but slightlyine.rensed,but ,
