HE* Wheee the cool and pleasant grasses -' Fringe the field rill's mazes, All the way that she must pass is White with daisies. Will she haßte'or will she linger, Look austere or kindly? - The light wave of one white finger Leads me blindly. There's no riddle like a maiden — Pliant, ductile, simple ; Into grave looks, thought o'erladen, '. ' Glides a dimple. Eyes— with tears that run not over— ; ' Swift with laughter flashing ;. Smiles that 'bless a doubting lover; Frowns, hope-dashing. See 1 she comes. Her exquisite motion . Sways the daisies whitely. "Never wave on summer ocean ' Moved more lightly.' Nearer 1 Oh, in wbat sweet fashion Will she give me greeting ? Whether wiih love's snijw.or pa&ion?— Haste, my sweeting 1 SHE On the grove's cool shadow yonder, How the heat is winking ! Does lie see me yet ? I wonder What he's thinking I ■ , Shall I haste or shall I iarry ? ■ Which would be most seemly ? Will he love me, when we marry, So supremely? * * ' Love a-wooing is so docile ! 3 ' Honey moon scarce over, ■Lo ! the husband is the fossil , ' . . Of thelover.j Ah ! he sees me. How he started ! Let as seem debating, Little daisy, yellow-hearted, While he's waiting. " Loves me." Ah 1 bat do I, tell me, Love him as he says he - . • Loves me ? Prithee can yon tell me That , my daisy ? Ah, what a dear bouquet I Such blending Of ooloars ! / Dew- yet on it ! : For me? Oh, thanks! Pray don't; you're bending My beat bonnet !

Wonderful Pbesbnce of Mind. — Clarence Connelly is a plucky man, it is to his grit and coolness that 1 he .owes his life. A few days ago, while working in the Allepheny Bhaft, on' East FryerHilli he prepared a blast and lighted the inse, and jumping into the bucket, gave the signal to hoist away. The . shaft ib 240 feet deep, and when about forty ' feet were- gained the toggling gave wayi and the buoket started back for the bottom of the shaft. Connelly felt it giving way, and managed to catch hold of the loop at the end of the rope: As soon as he found that he had a hold he began to yell to the men- above. They thinking he, was in a hurry to get out of reach of the blast, put on extra steam and jerked him a hundred feet in a twinkling. When about fifty feet fr3m the surface, Connelly felt that his strength was giving way. He knew that he could not hold out till the top waß reached, and made up his mind to risk a bold stroke for life. Throwing Himself aoioßS the abaft he let go the tope, and with wonderful dexterity and good lack managed to lodge with his baok against the other. Thuß braced he managed to remain until the rope, which had reached the month of the Bbaft empty, was sent down to him, -and he i was reßoued from his perilous position. — j American Paper. < ' , XDhilb Bbidesmaids.— The appearance of baby bridesmaids is growing common in England, and their dress is usually so very j pretty that they really add to the beauty of the bridal procession. Skirts of .Langne'doo lace, looped with ruby satin ; polonaises of pink cashmere, trimmed to match the skirts, and Duchess of Devonshire hats are the principal details of the costumes of two little girls who followed six older bridesmaids up the aisle of an English village church the' other day. Juvenile SmokbbS.— A British physician, observing the large number of boys under fifteen years of age on the streets with cigars and pipes' in, their v mouths, was prompted to examine the breath of this class of smokers, and for that purpose selected thirty-eight boys between, the ages of nine and fifteen. In twenty-two of these cases he found various disorders of the oiroulation and digestion,-' palpitation of the' heart, and more or less marked taste fox strong drink. In twelve there' was frequent bleeding of the nose, and twelve had slight operation of the month, caused by tobacco. The doctor treated them for' their ailments, but with little effect until the habit of smoking was discontinued.when breath and strengtfrwere soon restored; The effect of tobaooo in breating a taste for strong drink is unquestionably very great. If the testimony of some tobaooo users and medioal men is of any weighti one of the most radical 'methods • of keeping- the youngfrom being led to intemperate drinking if to deny (hem tobtooo.— lfteSanitanan.
