Sleep, Poet, sleep 1 the laureate crown
No longer decks thy youthful brow ;
Thy harp is hushed, thy work is done,
But are thy strains forgotten now?
No, no! the world enraptured reads,
What muses whirpered long ago,
The burning words thy bosom heaved,
And caused thy beauteous songs to flow.
Sleep on, in silence. Poet, sleep,
Where deep sea waters wildly sweep.
What if the Lime her silvery leaves,
Or Palm, ne'er waves above the mound,
Where rests the Laureate Poet's" form,
Low 'ntr.th the wild grass trodden ground.
Who sings such songs as thou hast sung
So wildly beautiful and free ?
None strike the lyre as thou hast done,
Such strains could come from none but thee.
Sleep on. pale Poet, sweetly sleep,
The sc-a thy dirge sounds wild and deep.
A storm is rising; hear tho roar,
The crested waves dash wild and high,
Half from their caverns white and hoar,
Mount up to meet the lowering sky.
Sullen the sea-gull spreads her wings.
And shrieking seeks the mountain wild;
Thou nearest not the angry roar
Sleep ou, bleep on, Death's own pale child.
Thousands rood now ; thy pen is sti'.ied,
Thine eye is glazed, thou heare.-t not.
Voices break forth in maddening praise,
Thou dreamest on as out forgot.
What matters it. though brave and proud,
I shuuderfor t'aec whilst I write,
For though I sing thee beautiful,
I fe.tr thy day has closed in night..
But ;Iecp. I judge not of thy rest
Sleep by the oea's foam-tossing crest.
What grander than the forest old.
What wilder than the mountains high,
What sentinels so pure and true
As watchiug stars in heaven's blue sky ;
What weeper better than the yew,
What music half so wild and deep
As that the sea sings soft to you
Sleep, Poet p;ik pale poet sleep.

"Woman's bet right the marriage rite."
" ' oman s best riDt tue marriage
rite.' It does make me so angry to read
anything of this kind. As if a woman
who dots not rush blindfold into matri
mony at sixteen has not other rights. I
have no patience with the vain creatures
who write such things."
"Don't be so hard on us, Myra. How
do you know but those words that have
kindled your ire. to such an extent were
spoken by some happy wife, and merely
put into print for the sake of the beauti
ful truth they contain."
"Beautiful truth, indeed j Wheu you
marry, Cousin Frank. I will tell your
wife that you are just like the rest of the
men will never expect her to have a
will of her own oh, no ! If you say No.
it must be No ; if you say Yes, of course
it will be her pleasure to acquiesce; yes,
certainly, for you would not choose a wo
lran with tpirit enough to show her inde-
pendenee, and decide aecordiug to ner
own ideas of right and wrong."
"Now you are getting angry, Myra; one
cf women's rights, though I beg your
pardon lor observing it " Myra thought
that her cousin Frank never got angry,
for this was but one of niauy conversations
on the subject of " women's rights" between
Frank Everett and his cousin Myra Kip
ley. Like many other young ladies of this
progressive age, the fair Myra loved to
talk with a great deal of spirit of "wo
man's wrongs," and at the age of twenty
f.he rcallv thought her married friends
objects of yity, nor was she in the least
afraid of lotting them know that she so
regarded them. If she was married, she
would show them how to manage the
most obstiuate of all creatures, viz., a
husband. But her opinions were too well
knowu for her to receive many offers of
bettering her condition. Gentlemen who
delimited to talk with the spirited Miss
llipfey talked on all subjects but love,
and -Myra llipley was likely to remam
Myra ilipley still.
'Ih us matters stood when her cousin
Frank Everett returned from a long
residence abroad. Mr. Ripley's houso
wa3 his home, he knew that there was
's heart beneath all this
bravado cf "woman's rights," and he de
termined to win Myra, if possible, and
trust to his own ingenuity to overthrow
this, her own failing.

"Frank I have rccicved cards for s

We go of course?" Hitherto their mar-;
ried life of six weeks had been untrouh- ;
led, but Mrs. Matson was not finite the
woman Frank wished his wife to visit. j
lie knew, too, from the look in Myra's ;
eve, and by the risinr color on her check
that should he really refuse, she would
stand on her dignity at once. So he
smoothed his whiskers carelessly, and
said, "You had better send regrets. Myra.
We have been out so much, that for my
part I'm tired. Y'es ; send regrets by ail
means."
"You have not even alced if 7 wish to
go if 7 am willing to send rep rets."
"No ; I thought you mut ho tired of
this eternal party-going ; and more than
all, Myra, Mrs. Matson isa dangerous wo
men." "You don't intend to?ay that you won't

Frank ?"
"You jump at conclusions, Myra. I
did not mean to have you understand any
such thing. You can decide for yourself
and do just as ycu please."
"I knew you didn't mean to treat me
ike a slave. Mrs. Eaton said you
wouldn't let mc go to Mrs. Matson's par
ty." "She did ! She does not know me, it
seems. T hsvn't the least objection to
your going, if you wish."
The young wiie tripped litrhtly up the
stairs, tmnking that atter all it

so hard to manage a husband as she had
feared. Mrs. Eaton would see now that
Frank was not a brute ; that ho would let
her iro to Mrs. Matson's party. Let her.
indeed ! Flu; gu'r-d she should go at j
any rate, if she wanted to.
Thursday evening arrived. Mrs. Ev- t
erett went to her dressing room, had her j
hair dressed in the most becoming man- j
ner, possible, and in all the glory ot white
brocade and honiton she sought her liege
lord.
There he was in the quiet library, en
joying a fragrant Havana in dressing gown
and slippers, leisurely reading the even
ing paper.
"Why, Frank, not dressed yet ! 'Tis too
bad to keep me waiting, as I shall have
to."
"I dont intend to dross this evening, my
dear. Thcrf. will be no one in."
"But dont yon see ? am dressed for
Mrs. Matson's party."
"Yes, I see."
"But you had forgotten about the par
ty. We'll make haste ; we shall not be
very late."
" JJV, Myra; I am not going to Mrs.
Matson's party ; I believe I had forgotten
that you were."
"Not coinir. Frank! But you said I
could do as T pleased."
"Certainly, you can do just a3 you
plenrc, Myra."
"What ! go alone when we have only
been mariiedsix weeks?"
"If you please."
"But I don't please, Frank. I want
you to go with me."
"I'm sorry, Myra, but I don't visit Mrs.
Matson. if you remember, I suggested
sending regrets." Myra here took advan
tage of the woman's right, of weeping,
while her husband tenderly twld her how
well he knew she would be angry with
him if he told her she could not go. lie
therefore thought best to let her do just
as she pleased, claiming the same privi
lege for himself. Myra confessed herself
conquered this time, but was certain she
would never be caught so again.
For some time after this, there was no
clashing. Frank was too much in love
with married life as yet to dislike the qui
et of an evening at home without compa
ny, but Myra declared it all old-fashioned
nonsense, sitting at home alone together,
for all the world just like Darby and Jo
an. She really believed Frauk wanted
her to settle down at once, because she
was married. But she wouldn't do it. not
if she were married ten times. So when
tbev were not going out, and company did
not come in, she went to the uext door for
Miss Manvers to come in and spend the
evening.
Miss Manvers was a smiling maiden of

like tbi addition to his family circle.
One evening, lie said :
"I hope we shall he :ilonc this evening,
Myra ! 1 am heartily tired of seeing Mies

"I think Mis-; Manvers has the sweetest
smile 1 know of; F in sure I didn t think

Very few, indeed ! I should think you
would remember that I wlwavs lived iu so

"Oh, yes the old story you needn't
repeat it. It is familiar enough to me ; I
have heard it ever since 1 can remember.
When a woman marries, she is expected
to spend her time in-doors, wasting her
time on the so-called feminine cmplny-
meats, darning ami patching. I pieitr

like -Miss Manvers. I shall send for her

to ;-;iy nothing of my feelings." She did
not care so much lor Miss Mauver's com
pany that evening, as she cared to have
Frank think she would give up so readily
the idea of staying at home with no one
to talk to but her husband. Soon Miss
Manvers came in, and Frank, to please
his wife, paid more attention to the young
lady than he had done for some time.
Alter she had gone, he said: "Mvra, 1
auiiurc your taste; J think when I know
Miss Manvers Lett
er, she will prove quite
an addition to our circle. lnc next
time Miss Manvers came in, Frank a.-ked
her if she played chess. She did not,
hut had wanted to learn for a long time.
So Frank produced his table and chess
men ; and soon, as all chess players will
know, Mrs. Everett received little atten
tion from either teacher or pupil it was
a game Frank could never persuade her
to lt'arn; she declared it stupid, and stu
pid enough she found the evenings they
spent at home now; for invariably Frank
and Miss Manvers played chess, and she
j dared not say much after her willfulness
i about having Miss Manvers there. Soon
it was even worse than this ; she began to
feel herself neglected, and from feeling
neglected,
she became jeatous of Miss
Manvers. She knew J rank did not love
lier one bit presumed he was sorry he
ever married her if he had not, he could
marry that booby-faced Miss she ha
ted the very sight of her. At length
she could conceal litr feelings no longer.
Miss Manvers became aware of a coolness
on the part of Mrs. Everett, and discon
tinued iier visits.
Frank had taken no notice of Myra's
little fits of petulance, and after they bad
spent two or three evenings al -ne, he said,
3 awuing :
"Mvra, dear, I wish you would send in
for Miss Manvers."
"Send for her, indeed! The artful
thing, 1 hope she will have the good sense
to stay away for the present, and I think
she will, if she don't come till I sind for
i ..
her.
"But don't you think it stupid sitting
herein thishum-drum manner '( 1 thought
you particularly fancied Miss Manvers,
Myra."
""And so I did, till she made you wish
you had never married n c."
"Myra, I am surprised; I never thought
of such a thing."
"But you take no notice of me when
Miss Manvers is here."
"But Myra, you particularly requested
me to bo attentive to Miss Mar.vers said
you should think me rude if 1 was not.
I'm sure 1 think you are very hard to
please.
"You dont love me one bit ; you would
never talk in this cool manner if you did."
"Why yes, Myra, I love you so well
that I try" to obey your expressed wishes."
"Well, my wish now is, that you love
me as well as you did before we knew Miss
Manvers."
"L do, Myra, better, for I think you arc
now convinced that the marriage rite is
woman's best right."
Mr. and Mr3." Everett are now as happy
a couple as you would wish to see ; and if
Frank will be contented to stay at home
with her, Myra says very little about
"Woman's Bights.""
eaT" "You have charged me for a full
priced breakfast, said a complaining guest, (
looking at his bill ; "and all I had was a
cup of milk and a chip of toast 1"
"Y'ou might have had coffee aud eggs
for the same money," replied the wait-
'"Ah !" cried the guest, "then it seems
you charge according to the clock ; and if
a-man was to have .only eggs at dinner
time, I suppose he'd have to pny for full

r.luimi'iiijr in tlie Hill.
An old friend of ours onesick and tired
of the care and bustle of a city life, has
retired into the country, and "gone to
farming," as the saying is. His land al
beit well situated and commanding sundry
line prospects, is not so particularly fertile
as we have seen requiring scientific cul
ture and a liberal system of manuring to
induce an abundant yield. So far by way
of explanation.
Once upon a time our friend being upon
a, vit.it to New Orleans, was attending an
auction sale down town, and as it s.o hap
pened, they were selling damaged sausages
at the time. There were some eight or
ten barrels of them, ami they were "just
going at fifty cents a barrel,'' v, hen the
auctioneer, with all apparent seriousness,
remarked that they were worth more than
that to manure land with. Here was an
idea. "Sixty-two and a-half ceuts third 1
and last tail gone !'' retorted the auc-
tioucer. "La.li takes them at bixty-two
and a half cents per barrel '."
To have them shipped to his country
seat was the immediate work of our friend,
and as it Was then planting time, ami the
sausages, to use a common phrase, "were
getting no better very fast," to have them
safe underground and out ti the way was
h:s next movement. He was about to
plant a field of several litres of corn the
.-oil of the piney woods species so here
was just the spot for this now experiment
in agriculture, this new wrinkle in the
science of gcoponics. One link" of. sau
sage being deemed amply siiilicient, that
amount was placed in each hill, accompa
nied by the kernels of corn and occasional
pumpkin seeds, and all were nicely cov
ered in the usual style.
Now, after premising that several days
have occurred since the corn was planted,
the sequel of the slor shall be told in a
dialogue between our friend and one of
his neighbors :
Neighbor. Yv't-ll, friend, have you plan
ted your torn ?
Friend. Yes, several davs since.
X.IS it up yet ?
F. Up '. yes ; and gone, the most of it.
X.Uow is that?
F. Well, you see, I bought a lot of
damaged sausages the other day in New
Orleans, a smooth tongue of an auctioneer
saving they would make excellent manure
if nothing else. 1 bought the lot over,
commenced planting my corn at once, as
it was time, planted a sausage ;u each
hill, and
N. Well, and what ?
F. And felt satisfied that I had made
a good job of it. Some days afterwards 1
went out to see how the corn was coming
ou, ana u pretty piece ti business t nae
made of trying agricultural experiments.
1." 'I b.. firvt thin. r 1 s bo-
fore reaching the field was the greatest j
lot of do-s digging and scratching all over j
it ! There were iny dogs, and vour dogs,
1 . -'i a. i v i . ' ' - --''.. ' ' I
and all the neighbors' dogs, besides about i
three hundred strange dogs I never set
my eyes on before, and every one was Lard
at it, mining alter the buried sausages.
Somehow or other, the rascally whelps
had scented tut the business, and they
have dug every hill by this time. If i
could set every dog of them on that auc
tioneer, I'd be satisfied.
Maxims of Business. Such sugges-!
tions as the following would secure a race
of business men who would honor the land
that furnishes them so noble a theatre f-jr
successful enterprise :
1. Engage iu no business inconsistent
with the sti iciest morality, nor in which
you cannot daily ask the blessing of the
f i
Aiost nign. i
'1. Follow your present vocation, and
that alone, whatever temptation to specu
lation or rapid acquisition may present
themselves.
o. Adopt no "tricks of trade," however
sanctioned by custom, that involve deeep- j
tion and untruthfulness.
4. Never incur a debt beyond your re
sources. f. Always live within your income.
G. I'evote a fixed portion of your in
come, beforehand, to charitable uses, to
be employed i-.nd accounted for as syste
matically ns family expenditures.
The man who will regulate his business
by such sijiplc rules as these may free
himself from the feverish excitements of
adventurous traffickers, and assure himself, j
with God's blessing1, ot au honest eompe- j
teney, if not of a benevolent aiiluence aud i
a good name.

A Journey fiider I'aris.
A correspondent of a Swedish journal
furnishes an interesting account of a sub
terranean voyage made through one of
the admirably constructed sewers of l'aris.
The boat which conveyed the r,arty was
reached by descending a flight of steps to
the depth of about forty-five feet. The
boat, a flat bottom affair, was lighted by
four lamps. The sewer is an archway,
15 feet high, and of equal breadth ; with
a ditch or canal about ten feet wide, where
in all the dirt and filth of Paris is carried
away. On the sides are sidewalks, which
together are about four feet wide. The
whole is built of beautiful white sandstone,
and is kept remaikably neat and clean.
No stencli or bad smelt is perceptible.
The denser portion of the filth is carried
away through large drains beneath the
tidewaiks. 'I he sidewalks are excellent.

Luc wans ei ii;e; area way are kept WUlte
washed, and are at all times as white as
the
the
driven snow. The structure possesses
properties of an immense speaking
tube, the workmen being able to converse
at the distance of two miles from each
other. The echo is very strong and last
ing. The fabric is said to be built after
a model of the catacombs of Home, aided
by all the latest improvements. On both
sides, at about two hundred yards dis
tance tiom one another, arc openings,
thiough which the workmen can ascend
by means of permanent iron ladders, in
case a sudden rain storm should cause the
water to rise over the sidewalks, which is,
however, of rare occurrence.
The contents of the sewer, of course,
flow into the river Seine, and the current
"8 snfiieient to carry the boat used with
considerable velocity. Large reservoirs
are constructed at intervals, into which
the water can be turned for a short time,
in case it should be necessary to have the
canal dry for a little while. The whole
work was completed iu two years. Be
sides the tAtAii canal, there are many mi
nor ones constructed under the principal
streets, all ot which can be made to com
municate with one another. These ad
mirable underground works are accessible
from the Louvre, the Tuileries and from
all the barracks, and should the Parisians
take a notion to barricade the s reets in
any part of the city, the Imperial Govern
ment might, at short notice and without
any person being aware of it, transport
troops, aud if there is time to make use
of the reservoir, so can cavalry also be
transported the same way. There is an
end to shooting on the soldiers from the
windows, and a revolution in Paris will
only soon be among the things that have
been, never to occur again. Through
these underground passages a prisoner
can easily be taken from the Louvre to
the Seine, without attracting attention.
