Life throbs With tides that ebb and flow
With things that come and things that go
The mists that,riee when morn is fair,
Are not:more transient in their stay,
Than are the hours that speed away.
For often life seems like a dream—
So
quickly flash with glance and gleam,
A thousand things that come and go,
And cause the tides to ebb and flow:
A sad•sweet strain that's borne along •
By breath of wind, a bit of. song,
A few fond words when dear friends• meet;
The music of a laugh that's sweet;
The sympathy that prompts a sigh;
A winsome face that passes by;.
Brief joys, that stay their tittle while,
A kindly glanCe, 11 . 10 - ring smile. •
These ever come mud ever go, •
And, like the. tides; they ebb :and flow.
Alovely.landscape, fair and bright,
Due moment seen, then lost to eight, .
The gorgeous clouds at•set of atm,

The frosty pictures' on the pane,•
That fade and come and fade again;
The curling smolt° that floats away;
A:enow wreath on a winter's thiy;
All these like waves that ebb and flow

My heart, sad winds, and he grieving rain;
The fairest biosioin
On earth's green bosom:

But one flower bloomed; on the earth me.
'Twit] in the gladsomest summer time,
The Gardener came from the He'avenly clime,
And culled the fairest

My lily so white,
My hope, my faith, and my soul'i delight.
But why do winds and' why - does the rain,
And why does my' heart make such weary
plain,
if sweeter and fairer,
In gardens rarer,
My lily 'so white •
Blooms, to dwelleis tl;re, still a pure delight.
The Gardener said, "I will bear this flower
From the winds and rain, to a sunny boWer;
To the dark earth leaving
All that's sad and grieving:"

THE LOST PENcru—A gentleman sit

out of the room, left on the window-sill
a small gold pencil, with which he bad
been writing. When he returned in .a
few minutes- no pencil was there. ..This
appeared very enticing to him, for no
one bad entered the room while he was
away, so he was completely puzzled as'
to Where it bad so quickly diSappeared.
The window was at the - top of the bons
Fo nv one could have got at it in that
way. .Next autumn, when the leaves
were off the trees, a bright object was
seen hanging - from the very, highest
branch of 01 large beach- tree. With
sonic difficulty it was reached, and
:roved to be the missing pencil, which
had a short piece of black cord fastened
to it. As the trees about there were
known to bo' a.faVorite' resort for mag
pies, it was p thought
_that=';one of them
had snatched the pencil offt.he window

shining objects, and most likely the
cord had caught in the' branch and. held
before the magpie could conVey. it to

,
was twenty - three . years old when
mjr sister Agnes sent fore me to make
hei a visit. Agnes bad *Med well
five years before, and was ' living near
our old resilmee in . ; sir, after
my three years' sojourn f# Boston the
visit seemed like , going borne.
I reached my sister's at wlittle before
•
six 'o'clock in the afternotm, and was
taken directly to my own eke .
"41iisvill be your roo4for months,
I h6pe, Dell," said Ant* as, having
removed my wrap's, I stood before the
glass smoothing my hair;nd making
other improvements in' mtappenratice;
"for, having : got you here, I nieati to
keep you for company, unless mother
needs you more than L Dell," - she
continued, after a pause, tinnhig which
she studied my face soberly, "are you
heart-whole ?"
"L hope so," I replied. "Mr; Harris
and I have agreed to .disagree. He is
out West, now, and I believe I eat as,
heartily and sleep as welllas ever."
"I am glad to hear Le is gone. •I
never could endure the thought of your
Marrying that man." t .
. "I don't think I was very, deeply in
love with him," I said, as I fastened an
extra hair-pin in my crimps.
"But, Dell, you mnselook out for
your heart
.now, for there is a man in
- our family who would make his grand.'
mother fall in love With hiM: He is
dangerous, because when he begins a'
flirtation he is more 'than half in ear
nest, which ; of course makes -Lim in
eresting; and it is hard to think him
false•when he mixes so Dutch truth with
his falsehood."
I made a gesture of meek terror.
"Preherie me from. , this . dreadful
man i• ;I suppose his motto is: came;'
I'saw; I Conquered.' Who is he, and
What is his name I" •
"Douglas Thornton; a htiiltler and a
friend , of Hurry's. I like him; one can
not very well help it—but. it provokes
me to - hear him talk. I- doti't .. .want. to
prejudice you, for Harry tOuksevery
thing of him. Doubtless if. -he . were. to
marry the right.woman he ivould make
an excellent husband, for lit! hug many
good qualities, devite his vanity. I The
trouble is, the Man hal been courted to
death. I know one or two silly moths
who have bet n singed ier.~#iris_ flame,
and I will not have my sister *swell the
list.", • -4
I lati'ghed recklessly
"I 1-elieNiFhe is my rate. I always
huleied mechanics, you loaow. There
is the t.u-bell, and I ain glad, for Ilong.
to behold this conquering hero of yours.
Ishe-flue-looking V' ,
"Well, tastes differ. He is very
broad-shouldered, has straight black
hair, wears 11 heavy moustache and long
Hide whiskers, of which know he is
proud. His eyes are remarkably hand
some—hazel in color, think, and he
uses them us a woman would. Come
with me anti judge for yourself.".
She drew my arm 'within hers and
led . me down to the Aining-room, - where
I. welcomed by my siater's husband
ak made . acquainted with Douglass_
Thornton, who flushed is he 'bowed to
me, and sat through the meal' with his
dark lashes resting on his cheek..
I bit my lip to keep from smiling:
"Agnes was joking," I thought glanc
ing ut the silent, serious man across the
table. "That man a flirt !" I exclaim
ed, when alone with my sister. "Why,
he was too bashful to look at me, 'and
be blushed like a school-girl."
"My dear child, I don't pretend to
account for his blushing, but my hon
est conviction is that he could even do
that to order; and when you were not
looking at him he was looking at you.
I'll venture to say that he can give a
better description, this moment, of you,
than you call of him."
"Very likely," was-tm3 careless re
joinder, "for why should he not fall a
victim to my charms, as well as I to
his ?" And so the subject was dropped
for the night., . • -
Before many 'days had reason to re ;
call my sister's words: "he uses hi's
eyes as a woman would." For, as we
became better acquainted, ho frequent
ly favored me with glance's half tender
half - smiling, and Wholly approving.
from his handsome eyes.
Through the days while he was at
,%vork, the memory of his voice, his
words, the expression of his face, began
to-haunt me, although I told myself
overland over that this was the" very
thing against which I had been warded.
"I have been thinking of you all
day," he said, as we were pasting
through the hall one evening, after tea.
I gave him a cold Stare. '
"Really your work cannot have pro
gressPd very rapidly."
"It has progressed at all since I knew
yen." And he gave a low laugh as lie
opened the parlor .door for me to pass
m.'
After that, not a day passed that he_'
did not make-,some soft speech to me.
His gaze 'followed every movement of
mine. I felt like a person with a spy
set to watch him. He showered all
sorts 'of looks upon - me—tender and
cold, grave and laughing, sad- or re
proachful,. and passionate. He coaxed
me, he scolded me, was rude, and cer
emoniously polite to me by turns, until
I grew nervous at the sound of his step. I
I came to listen for it with • dread, yet
longing; * for I knew at last that I loved,
as a woman tan love brit one man-in
the wide world. Yet, with my sister's
warning in my memory, I felt that he
was but amusing himself. and I was in
constant. fear lest he should discover
my Secret.. He declaradthat he was
forever thinking and dreoning of me ; .
that `lie never could forget -Me. and I
laughed all his words to scorn.
"Do you think me a child," I said,
once, "to believe all that ? Ab, my
lord, ,you do not understand, me."
He'lo - oked down at me With a lofty
smile.
"why, Dell, I. understand yon better
than you understand yourself I"
I caught my breath in -Sheer amaze
ment at his impudence,
.and left the
-Timm, closing the doer behind me in a
very decided fashion. I ran into the I
sitting room with flashed cheeks and
tearful eyes. Agnes caught me in her
arms. -
"Dell, be careful. He may be in
earnest, but do not put too much faith
in him until he 'puts a betrothal ring
upon - your , finger."
"Agnes ! You talk as if—"
"Ah, child, I know ! That tell-tale
face of yours betrayed you-long ago."
After that .Thornton's treatment of
me was wholly changed. When we
met at the table I receive& h slight
grave bow, He rather avoided me, and
would pass from the_rooni with averted
eye's.
One afternoon Agues and I went out
shopping. On our return, Bridget in-
Inra4 ug that Mr. Thornton had been
at home during our absence,' left a good
by for us, and was gone !
"To New York, ma'am," said
Bridget.
So that was over. Of course ho
would not retnru while 1 remained, and
I le termined'to go home, the very next
week. •
--Harry was loud ii, ..li,•satistaction.
"Don't see what pos,( : s,lo the fellow
to go flying off to Nets York. I mita
confoundedly."
"So dol." :said Agnifs; "but for all
that, Dell and I are going to the assem
bly Tuesday evening, if .you will act as
escort,.like a good fellow."
"What 'aesembly ?'" growled Hairy,
as ho buttered his third roll. .
"Why, Southly gives a series . of danc
ing parties this season, and this is the
first one. You'll be good, and take us,
won't - you, dear ?"
Harry tried to frown, smiled instead,
and finally yielded.graceftilly; and Agnes
spirited me away to look - over our ward
robe.
"The assemblies are not dressy afftirs,
Dell; they are little quiet parties, where
people enjoy themselves without being
extravagant. That nice gray pongee of
yours is - plenty good enough, with fresh
gloves and some .flowers for your hair.
I shall wear my broWn silk.'' . •
"But; Agnes," I faltered; "I had
made up my mind to go home on Tues
day." •
• "Nonsense, child ! Don't you see, if
you go home now, it will at once prove
to Harry that Dougla's Thornton: is the
'of it ? And{` Harry will tell
Thornton' when he sees- him. Stay
here. Dell, and brave it-out."
i
So the next Tuesday evening found
mein the half with Mary and Agnes,
the sound of: the music sending the ,
blood coursing thiough my veins, and
bringing back - the memory of Old times,
when I. all the enthusiasm of
sweet sixteen, had danced. in short
dresses on this veryfloor,i with my.liair
flying over my. shoulders, and 'some
botlover smiled adoration at me.

"Thornton iw.here..--ato the lower end, of

I followed her gaze, . and saw.mY
brother-in-law making .his way toward
that.big, familiar 4nre, which I had
not seen for a ' week. A week !..
It seemed like ii. Year, I thought, as
with the first glad bound of my heart I
forgot all our differences. •
In the course of the evening he came
and dropped into a vacant seat beside
me.
"I suppose I must ask you to dance,"
he drawled, in his old, provoking fash
ion, as though the mere thought bored
him. -
My temper arose at once.
"T assure yon it is not compulsory,
Mr:Thornton."
' "No—l do - not suppose it is," he re
plied, as ho pulled his whiskers with
great deliberation.
I sprang hastily to my feet.
"I will not dance with you," I said.
Bat he quietly drew my hand within
his arm'and led me to the floor, giving
my fingers a wicked pressure as he
bowed me to - my place,in the set which
was forming.
"Oh, Dell," he whitipered, laughing
ly, "I love to torment you—l can read
you like a ohari4 !"
I sot my teeth behind two smiling
lips, and dropped the lids to hide the
fire- in my eyes. I could- have killed
myself for being so moved by,this
I made a 'mental vow that I would
not dance with him again that evening;
and (oh, humiliating fact !) he did not
asiLme ! But as I passed- him on my
way to the dressing-room, when the
party was 'dispersing, he looked at me
and smiled, a strange, wistful, half
amused smile, as - though I were a
naughty child, and..-he did not know
whether to scold me or to, laugh at me.
"Let us walk home together, Dell,"
he whispered, coaxingly. •
"Very well." I answered; in rather
ungracious:tones. •
It was a =beautiful moonlight night,
and we had before us a half mile walk.
The first part was passed in niter silence,
and then Thornton said,-- ,
"Dell; do you know why' Ilwent to
New York T - You drove me away with'
yovr coldness. You have ruined my
happiness." •
"Will you ; atop ?" I cried, loosing
the scarf about my throat. ' -
"No, I will not atop. I will have my
way this time, and yon' shall listen to
me. I - tell feu, II am capable of being
devil if you try me too far."
-
I looked at him in surprise.; His
eyes were like two coals of fire, and he
spoke through his set te - etb. I Made a
vain endeavor to draw my hand from
his arm. I could have freed myself
quite a readily from a vice. - ,
"Release me, if y4:q please, sir; you
have . no right to address such language
to me."
"Well, now what is the matter ?" he
said, dropping back into his old, care
lessly reproachful manner. "Yon are
always thinking evil of me."
"Good heavens l" I cried, flaming
suddenly, as be became cool. "Whit
would you , have me think ? Do you
take me for an idiot ?"
We were passing a handsome granite
residence, and he flew off upon a new
subject in his own peculiar fashion,
taking no more notice of my anger than
it I were three years old instead of
three and twenty.
"How do you like that house, Dell?"
looking it over with
,'his practiced eye.
"Well enough," , I answered, sulkily,
rather - taken aback by flis sudden :
change.
"Well," very softly,: pressing : my
hand, "we will have last such a house."
'Oh, will we ?" If returned,lii an scorn
"Now listen to me, Mr. Thornton
We hat walked rapidly, and were now
at Harry's house, and I snatched my
- hand from Thornton's and ran up the
steps, while he followed deliberately,
and then stood in the door Way to hea
me out.
"It is my desire • that all this 'Sort of
thing shall cease. lam not aehild, and
I will not be treated as one."
Hewas laughing at me. I could see
his month twitch under his moustach,
and there was a twinkle in his eye.
'Now listen'to me, Dell Howard.' he
said, oraculerly. 'Just as sure as Dell
Howard is your name now, ju at so sure
shall it be Dell Thornton before you
are a year older.'
'I would not marry you now, if there.
was not another man world !'
gasped, quite beside myself with indig
nation. •

I flew past hith and up stairs to my
room, to weep tei►rA of rage and humil-
intion
No earthly power should keep me in
F— after noon of the following day.
I would never look at that hateful man
again, never !
The nest morning Harry came burst
ing into the sitting room; where Agnes
and I were talking over this afar, stam
mering and trembling like a great boy.
"Thornton has fallen from the build

Ames grasped Harry by the shoul
ders and shook him with all her strength,
as though be were personally respon=
stble..
'ls he dead, H irry Vaughn ?' she ask:
ea, sharply. -
'No, no !' gasped Harry, looking at
me; and mopping his face in an absurd
manner with his- handkerchief. 'But
he is . considerably injured. I dori.'t
know how much.'
I flew to my room like 'a coward.
Fifteen minutes ' later Agnes cane to
my, room and said very 'gently and ten
derly,—
'Dell, can you bear to go down !' He
wants.to see you.'
'ls I paused, not daring to put
my teirible thoughts into words.
'He is injured internally,' said Agnes,
taking cure to hoop her face turned
from me. 1-
I followed her down stairs and enter
ed the sitting-room. Harry stood with
his back to the door staring out of the
window. On the lounge iu the corner
lay my stalwart hero, looking,
.oh, so
pale ! and over him bent Mr. Hall, a
justice of the peace, who resided in the,
next house.
Mr. Hall bowed gravely to me, and
passed over to Harry, as I crossed the
room and knelt by Thornton's aide.
His eyes were closed, but when. I laid a
timid hanZl'on his forehead he lookeil,
up and smiled at me, clasping my other
hand in
'Dell,' he whispered, faintly, am
going to die. Can you forgive me for
my unkind words, and my rudeness?'
I laid my face on his arm and sobbed
bitterly,
'Do not cry—listen to me ! If you
love me ever so little, will you marry
me now ? Mr. Hull will perform the.
ceremony.'
I looked at Agnes. Her face was

'Don't you see, Dell, you never would

all the time that he was in earnest, but
you and Agnes would not trust him.
He had a little fall today, and it hurt
him just enough to make his face pale;
so, together we made this plan, drawing
Agnes into it after you ran up stairs.
But how you did play off, Thornton ;!
Yoll ,. would make a star actor And
Harry went oft into fits of laughtei,
whereupon Agnes chew him from the
room.
'Forgive me,- Dell,' said Douglas

CLEVER SURGERY ON A LION.-A cu
rionsloccurrence lately took place at the
Zoological Gardens. Oz e night one of
the lions was observed to be in a state
of great tribulation, rolling about and
trying to get semetbing out of his
mouth with his paws. Upon examin:
ing the - animal to see what was the mat
ter, Mr. Bartlett found that a boneshad
beciania a fixture in the poor brute's
mouth. The difficulty .was to remove
it, as the lion was in a. fearful temper.
This was One by getting. the lion into
a "shifting den," where his face would -
,not be very far from the bars. 'lt was
then ascertained that the object in the
1
lion's mouth was a spongy, r \lnd bone,
as big as a cricket ball, whic forms the
hip joint of the honer.; Th lion had
had part of the haunch of ho se for din
ner, and in amusing hitiasel with the
bone, first gat
,his upper - bilge canine
tooth into the soft part of the: bone, and
biting on it, the corresponding canine
tooth iu the lower jaw came through so
far into ' the bone that it almost met 1
with the point of the upper tooth; the
jaw thus liecame fixed. The animal
was prevented from taking food or wa
ter. Mr. Bartlett with a great deal of
tact managed 'to get this' l _bone out
of the lion's ruoutb,"` and ~ lucky he
did so, as it wound that the long,
projecting part of the Vene was pressing
hard upon._ the animal's tongue.. This
is the the third clevei operation in den
tistry that Mr. Bartlett has performed--
first removing a big tooth foal the hip
potamns; the second, 'operating on the
base of the tusk of,a big elephant; third,
taking a horse's leg bone out of a lion's

Pond-buss make very intelligent pets.
I once had three htindred of these little
ellowa, perfectly tame. Down in one
corner of the coin-gelds • I
found two
patent washing-machines, _ the beds ot
which- were shaped like scow-boats.-
Theite old machines 'were fast going td
ruin,/ and I readily gained permission
to use them for whatever purpose I
wished; - so, with a hatchet, I knocked
off tbelegs and topgear; then removed
a side from each box, and fastened the
two together, making a tank
,about
our feet square. The seam, °if-crack,
where, the two parts joined, was filled
with oakum, and the whole outside was
hickly daubed with coal-tar. The
tank was then set in a hole dug for
that purpose, and the dirt was filled in
and packed around'the sides. Baca of
it I piled rocks, and planted ferns in all
the cracks, and crannies. I also put
rocks in the centre of the tank, first
covering the bottom with sand' and
gravel. After filling this with water
and plants, I put in three 'hundred little
bass, and V they soon became so tame
that they would follow my finger
_all
around, or would jimp oat of the wa
ter, kfr a bit of meat held between the
fingeis.. Almost any wild creatures will
yield to persistent kind treatment, sad
become tame. Generally, too, they
learn to have a aort of tnistful affection
for their keepers, who however, to earn
the confidence of such fneads, should
be armost as wise, punctual, and un
failing-as good Dame Nature herself.
One of the same bass, which I gave
to a friend of mine, lived in an
nary glass globe for three yaars.,' He
was a very intelligent fi sh, but fearfully
spiteful and jealous. 313 i friend's
mother thought it was lonesome;,, and
so, one day, she brought home a beatij
tiful gold-fish—a little larger than the
bass—to keep it company. She put
the gold-fish in the globe, and watched
the little bass, expecting to see it won
derfully pleased; but the little-wretch
worked himself 'into a terrible passion
—erected every spine upon his back,
glared a moment at the intruder, and
then made a dart forward, seized the
gold-fish by the abdomen, and shook
it as a terrier dog shakes a rat, until
the transparent water was glittering all
ovea with a shower. of golden scales
As soon as possible , the carp was' res
cued; blit it was too late. He only
gasped, and died: The vicious •
little
bass swam "around and around' his
-biting in his rage at all the float
ing scales. Eier after, he was allowed
to live a hermit's life, and - he behaved
himself well. At last the family went
away for a,couple of weeks, and, when
they returned, the poor little bass lay
dead at the bottom of his globe.
One more incident, and I must
close: A certain young enthusiast in
aquarium matters, waking suddenly
one night, beheld the apparition shown
on page 697. At one side of the room,
in a wavering circle of light, a gaping
monster was about to make one mouth
ful of a wriggling creature as large as
a cat. The cause of this strange. vision
soon appeared. The curtain of the
window had not been drawn down all
the way, and a streetlarap shining in,
made a sort of combined magiclantern
lede and slide of a glass globe, in which
some aquarium pets were quarreling.
But tbe "wriggler" escaped somehow,
and .sio harm was done.—Si., Nicholas
