SOMERSET,
TIIE FLIGHT OF THE DWALLOW.
Swift swtUlowa, sUy, we oanuot spare you
yet
No chilly breath lnuj struck you with
-alarm ; -Why
should you lill our souls with vague
regret
In these sweet tlays of golden rest and
calm?
Let us awhile travel and change tor
get. Why should you roam ! The gardens are
aglow
With brighter colors than they wore in
June,
The tall, white liilieft make a queer ly show.
The. gadding vine with many a wild
festoon
Still hides your not ; we cannot let
you go.
Why should you leave U"? Summers are
so brief,
It seems but one bright week, or scarce
ly more.
Since every day showed some new tree in
leaf.
Pleasant it was from window and from
door
To hail, in your glad coming, Spring's
relict
To sl.md w ithin the gateway of the year,
As at the entrance of an unknown wood,
Hearing the songs of unseen birds so near.
It seemed we might have caught them
where they stood
False cuckoo notes of joy that dUap-jK-ar
!
Swallows ye brought upc-n jour glossy
wings
A humlred visions Irom beyond the sea;
Though your hist nest was mid the tombs
ol kings.
Our thatch from ailen touch U not less
free
Thau those grand ruins round which
silence clings.
Say, do ye tear ye may not see again
The largc-browed Sphynx traziug with
human eyes
Through countless centuries across the
plain
Of arid sands, beneath the shadeless
skies.
Where C'arnac's sculptured glories yet
remain ?
Is there in Loxor, neath a lotus flower.
Carved when the world was young, a
hiding place
Dear to you never moistened by a show
er Since first a bold adventurer of your
race
Chose if, and made it your a ncestrtil
tower?
Xow, if you must go, quickly take fare
well. For many a dim eye that has watched
you play
Shall lill with tears, taking yonr flight for
knell
Of life and season, ebbinr; both away
In that long struggle words are weak
to tell.
Uare are the happy f.elds ; on every side
The plow already has ifs work begun ;
Part, swallows, fly in peace sure is our
guide
Cross seas and seek the countries ot the
sun
But come again to us wbate'er be
tide. S. Germtti.
WHOSE H'AKTHE Ull LI T
KIlis TreroajDelaid his fork down
witb a gesture half of impatience,
half of discouragement, and a frown
that bad do business on the forebead
of a six montbrt' married man, and
tbe husband of tbe prettiest of wo
men corrugated bis handsome white
forebead.
"You seem to have not the slight
est appreciation of affairs, Edie. I
have explained time and time again
that I m living up to mv ioconie
uot saving a penny aud jet jou
still pernist ia demandicg money for
every trifle tbat takes jour fancj."
EllitkTremavne spoke more decisive
ly than EtTie bad ever beard bim, ami
she uitulaliy rowed him horribly
cross, aod parted ber red lips aod
leaDed back in ber chair with a very
aggrieved look on her lovely face.
And yet it was lovely.
Mr. Tremajoe thought so tbat
same moment as be looked at the
delicate pink-and-snow complexion,
and tbe large dark blue eyes that bad
played such mad havoc witb his
heart a year ago at tbe full, exquis
ite lips tbat bad only seemed made
for smiles and kisses then, tbat now
were rapidly coDsnmating their tack
of discovering tbo clay feet of bis
idol .bat now were parting to utter
words be knew were coming, and
tha did come.
"You are just as mean and cross as
jou can be ! Wbat's tbe use of living
at all if jou can t have wbat jou
want if von can't have things like
other people ? 1 tell jou I do think
jou might let me have some monej
this morning; I need it most awful
ly."
Her blue eyes certainly looked
pleading enough to give entire cre
dence to ber assertions.
"I am almost tempted to say that
cannot be true, Effie, tince it was on
ly a week ago to-day I banded yon
twenty-five pounds a sum amplv
sufficient for even the most inexperi
enced financier on which to keep a
fauiilv of two."
Darker frowns were gathering on
Tremayne's forehead, but Eflie an
swered with a sneer:
'Tweotv Gve pounds! You speak
as if it were a fortune! I tell oc,
Ellis, I must have things like like
other people, liow on earth do you
suppose I feel ben Mrs. Coddington
or Mies Dellburn calls for me to drive.
weanug tbeir elegant carriage cos
tumes, and I in tbe same dress I ap
pear in io tbe street or at church ?"
Treinaj ne smiled contemptuously.

She was bis wife sweet, pretty,

won her, thinking what a rare Bow

He loved her. and wta willing, yes
anxious to increase her happiness by
every honest means in l is power cn
ly Effie was extravagant and unreas
onable in ber demand for dress and
style that were bevond the capabili
ties of the well salaried man that he
was.
So now he kissed her tenderly, and
then took out bis purse and laid a
bank bote on the tablecloth.
"There's your new silk, dear may
yon enjoy it." -
His forbidding manner bad so en
tirely disappeared, that J-: die's heart
was encouraged to undrtake a '(.oth
er pet plan. So ' as "'she demurely
folded the note away in her pretty
little crimson Russia pocketbook, she
began so quietly tbat Ellis was cap
tured by storm:
"I was wondering if it would not
be a good plan if we shut up tbe
bouse for August, dear, and went
somewhere. It will do you so niueb
good, I'm sure, and there will be no
expenses here while we're away.
Can't we go to Hastings?"
She opened tbe battery very sud
denly, almost staggering Tremayne.
"Oh, Effie no. It would involve
a larger expense, ten times, than it
costs at borne."
Then seeing that well known, mar
tyr like expression settling on her
fare, tbat always drove bim to despe

"If jou can manage it, go yourself.
I dare say some of ynir fashionable
frieuds will chaperon you "
"Ob, maj I, majl.reallj? Indeed
I will manage it! I don't need manj
new things, I'm" sure. I have enougn
for the silk, and with a little more I
can easily get what I absolutely
need, Ellis you are a darling !"
He laughed not very joyously.
"I'm glad rou think so. Well, I'm
off."
Two hours later Mrs. Effie Tre
mayne, dressed in an unexceptionahly
elegant walking costume, started out
on ber shopping tonr, to meet at tbe
silk counter Mrs. Godfrey Codding
ton carelesslj tossing over rare
pieces of evening silk
"I am so delighted to bave jour
taste on mj new silks, mj dear Mrs.
Tremajne. Do tell me which jou
prefer, tbe salmon, the pearl blue, or
this sunnier pink? I intend to have
a couple of them for Hastings."
Hastings !
Mrs. Tremayne's cheeks glowed.
"I hope to see jou at the shore,
Mrs. Coddington, and in either this
exquisite maize or silver pink."
"So jou will be there? Pjjoin
our partj onlj Godfrej and sister
Blanche and Nellie Uullburn and 1

engaged rooms? Wbat shall jou
get new ?"
It was certaiDlj verj delightful to
be talked to tbus, but, once home,
there occurred little qualms of con
science, as, very, verj gradually she
found herself drawn into arrange
ments she knew were far beyond her
reach.
And jet the consented to Mrs.
Coddington's kind offerthatMr. Cod
dington should engage rooms for ber
witb bis party.
She made up her mind that tbe el
egant stock of clothes tbat two hours
ago she thought needed onlj a little
renovation aod small addition to
make it all that was necessarr, would
not do at all.
And so, beside the money her bus
band bad given ber being spent in
tbe dozen and ooe trifling accessories
that a well dressed toilette demands,
there was frlded away in a eeldem
used compartment of Mrs. Tre
mayne's picketbook an unreceipted
bill for fifty pounds, made out to Mr.
Ellis Tremajne.
E (Tie's bine ejes were dancing and

He'll only make a fuss, and I do bate

again, perhaps I can save it out of

So she quieted her conscience with
the hopeful specious promises, and
the next day, finding it impossible to
get ready herself in time to go with
Mrs. Coddington's party, was obliged
to employ tbe services of a high
priced dress maker, wboes bill for

There is in the possession of a

cient procelain mug on which is
painted tbe effitry of Washington on
borse buck, with the inscription be
neath, "George Washington, Esq.,
General-in-Chief of tbe L'nited States
Army and Marshal of France." The
latter title being one not ordinarily
understood to belong to the Father of
His Country, an old letter has been
found from G. W. I'arke Custis, dated
in loT, which explains how General
Washington came by tbe American
Marshal of France, writes Mr. Cus
tis, is simplv this: "When, in 1731,
Colonel Laurene went to France as
special embassador, a difficulty arose
between him and the French Minis
try as to tbe command of the com
bined armies in America. Our heroic
Laurens said :
"Our Chief must command ; it is
our cause, and the battle is on our
soil." "C'est impossible," exclaimed
the Frenchman ; "by the etiquette of
tbe French service the Count de
Rochambeau being an old lieutenant
general, can only be commanded by
the King in person or a Marechal de
France.'' "Then, exclaimed Laurens,
"make our Washington a Marechal
de France, and the difficulty is at an
end. It was done. A friend of mine
beard Washington spoken of as
Monsieur le Marechel at tbe siege of
lorktown. Onr beloved Washington
never coveted or desired rank or title;
but it is beyond a doubt that, from
tbe force of circumstance jnst related,
(he rar.k and title of Marechel de
France was conferred upon tbe Ge
eral-in-Chief of the com bleed armies
of America and France."

The effect of removing the litter of
a mature forest is really far greater
than would result from the mere re
moval of so many pounds of nitrogen
phosphoric acid and potash. When
the litter is allowed to accumulate
from year to year, and to undergo its
natural slow decomposition, the re
sult is tbe formation of a forest soil
exceedingly rich in bumua ; the for
mation of sjch a soil is often of price
less) value to the forrester. A rough,
sterile, rocky soil becomes, when
penetrated with hurous, capable of
retaining water, and tbus able to
withstand drought. By the action of
humus the mineral plant food which
tbe soil contains is also brought into
a more soluablo and available form ;
while tbe greatly increased porosity
of the soil protects all soluable plant
focd from beiDg washed out by heavy
rains, a calamity to which the origin
al rocky soil was constantly liable.
So great is the importance of humus,
tbat in many forest soils its presence
is the one ameliorating principle
which renders cultivation possible.
Especially niut this be the case en
the hillsides so frequently devoted to
the growth cf timber. Nor in this
case are tbe advantages of the deep
humus soil confined to tbe trees
growing upoa it Owing to the
enormous power of retaining water
possessed by a spongy vegetable soil,
the adjacent valleys are effectually
protected against disastrous floods.
Storm water is retained or delayed,
is stored up in tbe forest soil for use
in summer drought, instead of de
scending in violent streams, tearing
up the soil and spreading havoc all
around. The careful maintenance of
forests upon hillsides becomes in this
view a question which is in many eas
es of national importance.
To produce in its fullest tent the
bumus covering of tbe soil it is nec
essary that tbe forest should be plant
ed sufficiently close ; in open spaces
admitting light and air the bumua
will rapidly oxidize and disappear.
For tbe same reason care should be
taken that planting immediately fol
lows tbe felling of limber ; the ground
as far as possible, should never be
suffered to lie open and uncovered.
