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, bin RicHalU) Double Dick. 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. $2,50 A YEAR. 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.
