And thou ait swillcr, swifter far Than bird on rapid wing; And awoeter than the violet’*breath Tho token whioh you bring. Ah ! gentle Zephyr! though yon »**m A* barmleaa aa a dove, You're stolen Cupid’s tiny wings— The little god of Lore ! And then you slyly robbed him Os two shining little dart*, And tent tho swift winged arrows then To rankle in two hearts 1 Sweet Zephyr, if you only knew The mischief you have dono ! And yet, you cunning thing, I knew Your work is just begun. Qod bless you, little Zephyr, though, For all you’re whisperod me ; And bearing him eo faithfully Bach message sent by thee. Then Zephyr, go and bear to him This message for mo now ; Tell him bow sweetly you hare soothed The tercr from my brow. Tell him. sweet Zephyr, that his lore Robs lift) of all its pains— Go, and I’ll watch, sweet Zephyr, till l'ou eomo to me again. And, gentle Zephyr, when you go, Breathe softly in his ear; Tell him each thought and word of his To me is very dear. Tell him, far brighter than the stars That dock the arch above, • Is this fair rainbow of my hapo, The promise of bis love. Tell him my soul hns holy thoughts That none may ever hear, Save Him to whom I breathe his name In every hallowed prayer. Ob ! bear him, from my fevered lips, Teil him he is my life—my love ! My joy—my hope and bliss ! And now, sweet Zephyr, fly to him— Farewell a little while ! Ah ! when you come again you’ll bring To me bis sweetest smile. Ge, then, dear little messenger, My faithful carrier dove ! He's watching now for you to come And bear him back my love ! Don't be Extravagant. —ls the poor house has any terrors for yon never buy what you don’t need. Before yon pay three cents for a jewsharp, my boy, ascertain whether you cannot make just as pleasant a noise by whistling for which nature furnishes the machinery, and before you pay seventy-five dollars, for a coat, young man, find out whether your lady would be just as glad to see you in one that cost half the money. If she would not, let her crack her own hazelnuts and, buy her own clothes. When you see a man spending two or three dollars a week foolishly, the chan ces are five to one that he'll live long enough to know how many cents there is in a dollar; if he don’t he’s pretty sure to bequeath that privilege to his widow. When a man asks you to buy that for which you have no use, no mat ter how cheap, don’t say yes until you are sure that some one else wants it in advance. Money burns in some folks’ pockets, and makes such a big hole that everything that it put in drops through past findiug. Concession' to the Jews in Russia.— The Russian Government has made another step in advance. It has par tially thrown open to the Jews two im portant towns formerly closed ngainst them. Jewish merchants of the second and third guild may now settle at Sebas topol and Nikalaieff, trade there, and even acquire real estate. A still greater boon to the Jews, and one which has also a political significance, is the offer made by the Russian Government to the Jews of Bokhara and other central Asiatic countries to take them under its protection. The offer, it is said, has been eagerly accepted by them, as they were fearfully oppressed by the Moham medan rulers aud population of those countries. „ A Happy Rejoinder. —At Oxford, some twenty years ago, a tutor of one of the colleges limped in his walk. Stop ping one day last summer at a railway station, he was accosted by a well known polili iin, who recognized him, and asked if he was not the chaplain oi the College at such a time, naming the year. The doctor replied that he was. “I was there.” said his interrogator, “and I knew you by your limp.” “Well,” said the doctor, “it seems that my limping mnde r a deeper impression on you than my preaching.” “Ah, doctor,” was the reply, with ready wit, “it is the highest compliment we can pay a minister to say that be is known by his walk rather than by his conversation.” Pursuit of Pleasure. —We smile at the ignorance of the savage who cuts down the tree in order to reach its fruit; but the fact is, that a blunderer of this description is made by every person who is over eager and impatient in the pursuit of pleasure. 'J'o such the pre sent moment is everything, and the future is nothing; he borrows, therefore, from thirduture at a most ruinous and ususurious interest; and the eoiisequnce is that he finds the tone of his best feel ings impaired, his selfrespect dimin ished, his health of mina and body destroyed, and life reduced to its very dregs, at a time when, humanly speak ing, the greater portion of its comforts should be still before him. Who Makes the Iro.v.— ln 1865, the State of Maine produced eighty four tons of nig iron; New Hampshire, -174 tons; Slassachusetts, 10,851 tons; Con necticut, 9,278 tons; New York, 8C.608 tons; New Jersey, 23,481 tons; Penn-' sylvania, 405,473 tons ; Maryland, 20,139 tons; Western Virginia, 2% tons; Vermont, 1,974 tons; Kentucky, 21,032 tons; Tennessee, 453 tons; Ohio, 70,059 tons; Illinois, 100 tons; Michigan, 13,393 tons; Wiscousin, 1,184 tous; Minnesota, four tons, and Missouri, 8,734 tons. Pennsylvania thus produced considerably more pig iron last year than the other States of the Union all put together. —-The mysterious mission of Mr. F. W. Seward is now stated to have hoeu die purchase of commercial privileges in St. Domingo, and is said to have failed through the incoinpeteney of the agent to whom the negotiation was en trusted—a man named Smith. —According to some statistics re cently published in a French paper, there iB one murder committed in Eng land for every 178,000 inhabitants ; in Holland for every 183,080 in Prus sia for every 100,000; in Austria for every 77,000 ; in Spain for every 4,113, nnd in the States of the Church for every 750, Dry Goods and Clothing.
