TO “H. IS. I’ITCHFOUKS.”
When I am covered with the grass,
If my low grave you chance to pass,
Oh ! pause one moment, one, I pray,
Aud in that surely coming day.
Say as you pluck the pimpernel,
There licth one who loved mo well.
You do not care for me I know,
I grieve to think it can be so;
My heart keepß calling unto you,
For something that it never knew;
But oh ! when lam dead, I know,
You’ll think of one who loved you so.
And so I shall not be forgot;
You’U miss me, though you love me not,
Love is so sweet a memory,
That though it came to you from me,
You'll think of it aud thrill to know
That one has lived, who loved you so.
Oh ! when you pass my grave aud see,
The blosoms blowing for tbe bee;
And bear the South wind saying mass,
Like wandering fanes who chanced to pass,
O’er incense cup of pimpernel,
Oh! think oi one' who loved you well,

Darien, April 7th ,1874.
A Maiden at Prayer.
The chamber door stood ajar. Be'
side the carved couch, with its snow
white coverlid, amid the glitter of
wealth and among the gems of taste
ful art was bending a graceful fra
gile girl of eighteen birthdays—low,
soft, murmuring words she said—
glowing with the sumh'ne of delicate
beauty, the sweet qi ee 1 of many a
love dream.
“Ah ! the listening angels Ray she was fair,
11 pc for rare unfolding in the upper air.”
Just one of those charming virgins
who, it seems, were sent to touch the
verdant swards, to give us a gliuice
of happy inhabitants who dwell in
the "land beyond the sea,” here only
for a brief season, then they are
gone, for the misty visitant bears
them away to the home of fadeless
splendor.
This loved, cherished maiden was
offering her morning orisons to the
Hearer in the courts of Divine love.
Hushed was our voice, speechless
was our tongue; our bosom was tilled
with glad thanksgiving, to know that
thus woman’s career was begun in
the fear of the Lord. Ere she meets
“her lot of silent tears to shed,” to
weep over clay idols, sigh over false
promises, feel the desolation of man’s
broken vow’s, and learn treachery of
his love, she makes the God of Truth
her voice; he marks her fair forehead
with the cross, places on her girlish
brow the invisible crown she will
wear in his own realms of joy.
Who doubts this idolized girl w'ill
be shielded by the sheltering arms
and clasped hands of an Omnipo
tent Guide? For her the dreariest
a- sort v/ill bloom white roses ;for her,
in the wild forests,there will be peep
ing at her feet the tiny flowers,
with exotic lines; every changing
| sc- ne will be tinted with the silver
1 lining of God’s tender care. Amid
| blue skies or black clouds, to her
! there w ill come the calm of peace,
the quiet of resignation, the meek
ness of submission. Eternal love
here, immortal bliss above?
\\ ho could behold, without a thrill
of rapturous admiration, the early
dawn of womanhood, glorified by
faith in prayer ? Fresh in the spring
of innocence, ruddy in health, rosy
cheeks, coral lips, starry eyes, brown
tresses, with no crow-marks of old
Time, lio requiems of sorrow, only
the songs merry laughter, the bal
lads of mirthful joy,the damsel bows
in reverent homage before the mercy
scat of her Lord. She repeats no
iiu.ny. only sings Te Beams. She
knows not that the deceit and sin of
the orld, its trai’s and temptations,
are the story she is yet to hear. The
sincerity of the service, the voluntary
sacrifice self and will—surrounded by
mammon’s riches —Croesus-wealth —
is truly sublimest feature and wor
thiest merit of youthful offering.
Ah! such a sight lifts the hearts of
the venerable spectators, whose
heads are covered by the autum
leaves of age, in fervent gratitude to
the Giver of Blessiugs. They have
passed almost to the borders of the
unknown country. Pilgrims of
night, they wait the angels of Jesus
to bring them to the mansions of
rest; they are assured the young de
votees have secured in the commence
ment of finer earthly voyages the
anchor of Hope, and found the Rock
of Ages. Maidens who erect air
alter in thier closets for private pray
er have chosen Mary’s choice of the
better part, that posesses the inesti
mable honors ind adorable riches
of God’s love! Therefore,sw’eet maid
ens; ever pray.
“Augustus, dear,” said she
! tenderly pushing him from her as
: tlio moonlight flooded the bay win
j dow where they were standing, “I
think you had letter try some other
! hair dye; your moustache tastes
like turpentine.

Chinese Sport.
Herds of pigs room wild in the jun
gle, the peats of the Chinese squat
ters, whose sw’eet potatoes and other
produce they ravenously devour.
They afford good sport to Europe
ans. I once went out pig shooting
with a party, to speild the night in
the jungle. We put up at a small
watch house, one of many such
which are elevated in the jungles,
standing on post of bamboo, about
ten feet from the ground, and with
platform or flooring not more than
six feet square; above is a thatched
roog of palm leaves. We were a
party of four, one of us, an American
gentleman, the finest shot in the
States —or supposed to be by many.
Having proceeded to a clearing close
to the jungle, we entferd ou the busi
ness of lying in wait—a ceremony by
no means the most enjoyable among
those incident to the sport. ”
These wild pigs feed in herbs by
night; so w r e spread a store of pine
apples on the ground, and then with
such patience as we eoiild master,
we tarried to see what fortune would
send us. Our clothes were of the
tliinest; the .stinging ants were nev
er tired of thier attacks; while the
blood-thirsty musquitoes buzzing'
about our heads and driving into
our ears, supported the invading ar
mies of auts by light incursions,
which harried our necks and heads'
so that it became most difficult to
maintain the silence ess< ntial to the
success of our expedition. At length,
alter these protracted hours of weary
watching and unreproachful agony,
we heard the distant snorts and
grunts that indicated the approach
of the swine. As turtle to aldermen,
so are dainty pineapple to these
denizens of the jungle. They had
got scent of our bait, and were mov
ing in our direction. They came on
but not incautiously.
Now they come on in bristing
phalanx, and snort for the encounter,
and now they grunt a signal to halt.
Swift and agile I already knew them
to be, but now, too, I cliscoveß6d in
them such a happy combination of
prudence and boldness that I thought
if undomesticated pigs could but
overcome thier gridiness they ffiight
rank among the noblest creatures of
the forest. But, alas! iu this ease ah
in too many instances of the past,
I the prospect of a rich feast was a
temptation too great for thier grov
elling nature. On they came crush
ing toward us, through the jungle
in front. We grasped our lilies sq
as to sweep the clearing,and awaited’
the charged of the foe; but unhappi
ly, prefering the American to Eng
lish institutions,they swept suddenly
round the field commanded bytho
doughty sportsman from the United
States,
Then a rifle report, a yelling, and
a grunting,- folio v, ed by the hasty
pattering of the feet of the enemies,
as they turned ther trotters full
flight, and lo! when we hurried to the
spot, expecting to find at least one
victim to the trusty weapon of our
friend, we, to our dismay, discovered
him seated on the ground nursing
one leg, and threatening, in most
unparliamentary language, Baboo,
his native servant, who laughed and
nu ked behind a tree. It appeal’d
that the leader of the herd, a huge
hog, had charged our friend before
he could take aim, had run through
between his legs, and toppled .ovti
in the act of firing, and carried liis
i followers into the jungle uuscratcli
[ ed.
j Disappointed, but not discouraged,
we determined to keep watch, in the
hope that the pigs would return .So
we fixed Baboo as a sentinal on the
bamboo ladder of the hut, in such
a way that he would not falloffif he
went to sice]), and then ourselves
retired to rest. When we awoke
the sun was shining brightly. Ba
boo, coiled round the ladder like a
snake, was still fast asleep, and the
pigs undisturbed, had feasted upon
the pineapples beneath our feet.
Hints for the Slefi'eps. —There
art iruly physiological -. rans of se
curing sleep, which should ever be
steadily tried ere forming the hy
pothesis that sleep is unattainable
without hypnotics. These, says the
“Sanitary Record,” are a good long
wtilk, which will tire the muscels; a
light and easily digestible supper,'
chiefly of farinaceous material, with
03- without, but better with some,
malt liquor of fair body and in good,
sound condition. Then bed may be
essayed with a better chance of suc
cess than after the ordinary evening;
if sleep hangs off, some alcohol, in a
concentrated form, may be taken
just on getting into bed; and, if lire
weather is cold, the alcohol may‘bo
renderd more efficient by giving it ill •
hot water. If the person be elderly,,
the bed may even be wanned with
advantage.
