Tlic Vliistlcr's Tune. Supper was over, the boy went out, He passed thro' the yard and over the stile : The big dog barked as he went along by, And followed him nearly a mile. And he sat him down on a hickory log, And whistled a lively tune, this boy, Which took the ear of the barking dog. And he wagged his tail for joy! The beetle stopped from pinching the fly, And the toad in his hole stood still, And the tom-tit heard with a tear in his eye, And a fishing-worm in his bill. And the grasshopper said, "I know that air, But I cannot whistle it so The tune of the man with no hair on his head, Where h-ur always ou'lit to crow."' TIsc Flirtation. CHURCHES, MIXISTERS, &.C.

I was pleased to be otieuded with my coffee, be cause it was uot well settled, and my toast was burned, and my egr overdone, aud I treated the whole breakfast as it deserved, and left it go to "the receptacle of things lost upon earth." I did not feel lika writing. I might have been savage enough for a criticism, but nothing in green aud gold glittered on my table, aud 1, therefore, read the morn ing papers, and tried to read a mammoth serial, in a mammoth monthly, and failed because, perhaps, I do not belong to the mammoth genus. And then 1 went to get luncheon. It was twelve o'clock, and I was vulgarly hungry. Such a hunger had not struck'my nerves in six months. I went info 'son 3roadway ; I prefer waitfng a long time for a broil there, rath er than have a cook's culinary comforts on the instant. I had re.id the morning paper, and had nothing to do but look about me, and 1 made good use f my eyes. Uight op o site me sat a lady a young iauy. fcho drew mv eyes as loadstone draws strocl ; I had never sten her like before, and I am sure I shall never look upon her like again. She had such grand eyes ; the' burned in their blackness, and their long lashes lay upon her check, like a broad silken fVinjrc. Her hair was dark, and lay rifh iii:!ss over her forehead, ami be- said I. ''Give me sixpence." I got my change in a moment, and 111.1 do two &teps to the door, knocked down the little negr; who w is opening it, and bolted into the street. 1 looked in every direc tion. At a distance down JJmadway, 1 saw that shawl. The lady was in a Jersey ferry omnibus, and I must wait lor the next one. 1 could not catch the departed ono. Alter a villainous length of time, I found myself embarked in a Jersey ferry omuibut. How those horses ciept, how everything ran against us, and how we got entangled in Corllatidt street, aud had to wait an hour, as it seemed to me. 1 never once thought that her oni'.ibus might have been hind. red exactly in the same way. When I got to thvi ferry, the lo.it was just twelve inches from the shore, and when I reached the edge of the wharf it was about twelve feet. saw that crim son shawl close by the cabin clout. The next boat came in direcrlv, ami I went on board, and walked the cabin to hurry the steam engiue. I only hurried and flurried myself. When I reached the Jersey side, 1 went, as if by instinct to the Newark depot. The holy was p.issinir oui of the door of the ladies' room. "Caught at last, said 1 to myself.

The fact is, lite is undervalued by a great majority of mankind. It is not made half so much of as should be the case. Where is the man or woman who accomplishes one title of what might be done ? WTho cii'inot look back upon opportunities lost, plaus unachieved, thoughts crushed, aspi rations unfulfilled, and all caused by the lack of ueeessary and possible effort! If we knew better how to do and to make the most of it, it would be better than it is. Now and then a man stands aside from the crowd, labors earnestly, stead- j f.istly, confidently, aud straightway becomes i fam .us for wisdom, intellect, skill, great- ! lies of some sort. The world wonders, 1 admires, idolizes, and it tn.Iy illustrates what others may elo, if they take hedd of life with a purpose. Uhe miracle ef pow er that elevates the few is to be found in their industry, application and perseve rance, uuder the promptings of a brave, determined spirit.

Th! eye was in a manner restored, and the animal could partially see. The next day w hen he was brought, and heard the Doctor's voice, be laid down of him self, placed his enernous head on one siele, curled up his trunk, drew in his breath, just like a man almut to endure an operation, gave a sigh of relief when it was over, and then, by trunk and ges tures, evidently wished to express his gratitude. as no lurtncr atiacii en me uoor iexi. place.
