Dear Athens, ’tis the firm decree
That I shall longer stay with thee.
I b«pe we'll still in friendship live.
And each the other's iaolts forgive.
II wrote my valedictory
Before the time had come, you see;
It show? how little I did know
Where i might stay, or whither go.
I’m glad that while I may propose,
Tis Providence that doth dispose;
S<>. whether yon are pleased or not,
1 must accept it as my lot. . -
I trust that nought shall break oar peace.
Till life, with all its labors, cease;
No serpent tongue oar hearts divide,
Whate’er of good or ill betide.
Of all the little things below.
The tongue can act the worst, yon know—
From nothing blow up fire and fiame.
To mar your peace and blast your fame.
Ned Longtongue slandered Tom one day
And tried his best to ge: away;
Tbey put him in the calaboose,
Aud made a wise man of a goose.
• So mote it be.’ and so may all.
Upon this broad, terrestrial bail.
Who have no better work to do.

Jane Tattler and Backbiter's wife
Kept one whole town always in strife;
They both got sick and had to die.
And no one in the town did cry.

Some tongue will bring this thing about.
Did you e’er know a fuss to start,
lu which no tongue did take a partf
The tongue was made to talk, I know.
And I am glad that it is so;
But may we ever use it well.
And no bad things of others tell.
When you got sick last fall. I thought
'Twould almost prove a thing of nought;
But soon long e rtceg proved to me
You had the panic dreadfully.
I know you still feel somewhat blue.
Bat hope tbe worst is o'er with you;
Just stand aloof from every crime.
And yoa’U not die before your time.

equality in every respect with at; they have
precisely the tame kind of cobooie that wa
have, supported by a common fend raised by
taxatiou which we in the main pay. Thie bill
doee not give them a single right in reference
to tbeir education that they do not now pos
sess and enjoy upon terms of perfect equality
with us. Except that this bill seeks to coerce
an nonatoral alliance between the raues, un
pleasant to them and disgusting la at. in ocr
social relationships, it cannot be disguised
that tbe object of this measure is to enforce
social equality between the races, and that,
too, by severe penalty. This is wrong in the
ory and impossible in practice; our social re
lations are controlled by laws peculiar to our so

The wounds inflicted by these serpents are
very apt to be fatal unless immediately cared
for. The whole island is infested with this
dangerous reptile, and it is arid that on an
j average, nearly eight hundred persons are bit
ten every year, of which number, from sixty
to seventy cases prove fatal, while many oth
ers result in nervous diseases which are almost
as bad as death. A lew years ago, when Prince
Arthur, of England, visited this island, a grand
fete was given in his honor in the Jardia des
Plantes. In the evening the grounds were
beautifully iilaminated, and thousands of peo
ple sauntered throagh its shady avenues.
