LOVE'S SUFFICIENCY
XlB laid by the poet, it is better fey
To love and lose,
Than never to have loved at aH DUMP
I may not choose,
For there has come into my life a love
Bo fierce, so strong.
That I am helpless in its grasp, content
To drift alonij.
At first I know not ’twas Love’s sea I had
Set sail upon,
So, happy, floated on, with half-closed eyes,
Through shade and sun;
What heeded I which way I went, with him
My boat to guide?—
TYhat dangers had the unknown soa, if he
IVas by my side?
I woke to find myself in waters strange,
No land in sight;
All things seemed radiant, new. A mighty
flood
Of rare delight
Swept o’er my startled soul; sho sky, the
waves
With glory shone,
A# was revealed the rapturous thrill of lov«*
Till then unknown.
And now let shadows fall, let storms arise.
On bis dear breast,
Shielded and safe, I lie, while shelt’ring arm*
Fold me to rest.
Tho night may come, it bolds no dread for
me; His tender kiss
Soothe* all my fears,and fills my happy heart
With perfect bliss.
—Frank Leslie's.

Squirrel Skins and the Weather*.
Tacked upon the wall in one corner ol
my room are three native gray squirrel
skins. The agile chatterers that were
once within these soft jackets were shot
last October in the Maine woods,and their
furs were t mned and sent to me at the
same time by an enthusiastic sportsman
of my acquaintance. The preserved ordinary way
in which these skins are in the
country, is by merely tackiny them upon
a good broad shingle, sprinkling# little
salt over them and then setting asi* T
a week to dry. For almost a year
have these furs been upon my wa\

should be. Last Tuesday, though, when
