Poor Reason tries her Iwst to rule, And keep an honest grip; Yet men will sometimes play the fool, And give their wits the slip. Let Judgment, caution or condemn, And Conscience still cry “Nay,” Sweet Fancy sings her song to them, And gives the heart its way— Ita own delightful way— In Ifite of all that Thought can do; In spite of Judgment, tried and true; And all Experience ever knew— The heart will have its way. So Nature wills it—old and young, The wisest and the beet, Have caughtthe strainfrom l'assion'stongue, And felt her sweet unrest. ’'Pis well to be of human kind— To own dear Nature’s sway; For, midst the dim, cold realms of mind, The heart would lose its way— Its own delightful way— In spite of Wisdom's happiest rules; In spite of sages and of schools; In spite of reason we’re but fools— The heart will have its way. See yonder child, by Nature led, No rule of life to guide; See Prudence with her thoughtful head, And manhood in its pride— A i run in pleasure’s heedless race, And after folly stray— At every age, in every place, The heart will have its way— Its own delicious way— In spite of all the head can do; In spite of judgment, tried and true; In spite of sad experience, too, The heart will have its way. Alas! for him whose heart is dead To every generous beat; No love-light on his life is shed, No sympathy he’ll meet. ’Tis better far to give the prioe That fools to folly pay— Be men in everything but vice, And give the heart its way— Its own delightful way— Iu spite of Wisdom’s golden rules; In spite of sages and of schools. We’re all but erring, love-sick fools— We give the heart its way. ar “HER YANKEE.” AN INCIDENT OF THE WAR. There is a long lapse of years between that time and this, but the incident has lost none of its pathos or beauty, because of that. I can see her now as she trips along to school, a sweet little girl of 7 years, her sunny curls blown back from a fair forehead, her bright blue eyes glad in the innocent happiness ’ of childhood. It was iu 1864 ,...., that , . there ,, were a few .. prisoners of war brought to G-- for incarceration and kept here several months, well guarded, Little Sallie passed the prison every morning on her way to school, and, with childish curi- osity, though not evincing any fear, she would look at the gloomy a J place 1 of con- finement giving a glance of commingled pity and awe at the prisoners, hopelessly from the small windows of the forbidding house. The men, weary of the monotony of captivity, were glad to see the little sunbeam as it flitted by, morning and evening, though it left them in shadow. There was one, however, pale and sick, whom the child gazed at. in mute sym¬ pathy, and he in return would smile at her until once he called her, saying; “Come and bid me good morning, and tell me your name.” Attracted by his gentle manner and. refined appearance, she approached and said: “My name is Sallie, and what is your name?” “Charlie,” he answered ; then he said, “My dear little girl, if you have any¬ thing in your bucket please give me something to eat, for I am sick and can¬ not cat prison fare.” “I will give it all to you, but I don’t know how to get it way up there.” “Ask the guards to let you pass.” With childish confidence she went to the nearest guard, but was courteously refused, and going back, told the Yankee. He then bade her ask the : guards to pass the bucket to him.

Soon the town was “blue," and bailie’s mother had her front yard and porch full of the blue- coated strangers and among them two Lieutenants and one Captain. The lady had shut all her little children into the bedroom with the injunction, “Be per¬ fectly quiet.” The Captain announced that he would like to have dinner for hitnsclf and men. i Pale and solemn, not afraid, but feeling | tluit the intruders were her enemies, she left them, and going to her room to sec after the children found them “mute as mice,” with the exception of Bailie,, who would run to the window and turn the blinds. Iler mother begged and scolded | in an awful wltisper-—“Don’t do that, Salliel” “Just a little hit., mamma. I won’t let them sec me,” and suiting the action to the word, she turned the blind very carefully and caught a glimpse of a face that she and she alone of all the family, had ever seen before. “Oh! mamma, there’s my Yankee 1” she exclaimed, forgetting all precautions and instructions. “Let me go and see j him; I’m not a bit afraid 1” The poor mother, already in a state of bewilder¬ ment, thought that her bright and beau- ( tiful child had suddenly become bereft of her senses, and cried out, “Hush, Salliel You have no Yankee, and they’ll kill you if you go out there!" Being compelled to superintend the dinner, she locked the door to keep the child safe and returned to the kitchen. When dinner was ready Mrs. went through the room into the hull where the soldiers were assembled. Bailie slipped her golden head out and stood partly in the door, while the men, slowly and silently, marched to the dining-room, When the seventh man passed he glanced at the child, and in a moment of glad recognition, caught her up in his arms and kissed her again and again. “Mamma, I told you this was my Yankee!” Mrs. stood in a state of amaze¬ ment bordering on stupefaction, aud the men were as much astonished. “This is my sweet little Salliel” the Yankee ex¬ claimed, and the child wound her arms around his neck whisjiering, “Charlie, I liave that Yankee dollar you gave me yet.” “Madam,” said the soldier, “I must explain this scene, as you Seem to be in total ignorance of my acquaintance with your little daughter. While 1 have never had the honor of seeing you before to-day, I am no stranger, as you see, to this dear child. She saved my life by ■deeding me daily for months when I was sick and feeble for want of proper nour¬ ishment while a prisoner in this town.” With tears filling his eyes lie continued, '“Ah! you would not be surprised at my loving her if you only knew, coultl com¬ prehend, the dreariness of prison life aud how this little angel brightened it by her visits and her charity. Do not have any fears, madam. I would protect your interests and this child with my life.” I do not know how long the soldiers remained in G., but they left to join in other battles and Charlie was killed in -one some time after. Sallie is married, has a lovely home, two beautiful and interesting children and is a kind neighbor and friend.— New Orleans Picayune. Two Wall Street Pictures. A speculator in four years has paid one firm in Wall street the sum of $250,- 000 in commissions, says a New York letter. He was a wealthy man when he went into the street with a laudable but unwarrantable desire to increase his pat¬ rimony by speculating in stocks. Now, so iieavy have been his losses that he would be satisfied if he possessed the sum he lias paid out in commissions. As it is, he will cheerfully accept a clerk¬ ship in the said firm, who wish to avail themselves of his numerous acquaintances to increase their custom. If he had been contented with a handsome sufficiency for t he day, amounting really to a super¬ abundance. lie would now be in affluence instead of in the position of comparative destitution he is. On the other hand, a young clerk a few years ago commenced to speculate iu the street with $300, the savings of a year’s abstinence from smoking, and now is worth in real estate over $1,000,000 and several more in securities. In Wall street speculation, more than in anything else, what is game for one man is ruin for another. Providence and Quails. “They were discussing in the Illinois legislature,” said a gentleman from Springfield, “a hill to prevent the distruc- tion of quail for three years. Speeches of various sorts were made. One farmer advanced the suggestion that there were too many quail. If they should be pre¬ served for three years they would eat up all the crops. Then up rose an honest Granger, who had not opened his mouth before, with this valuable contribution to natural history, delivered in a drawling, squeaking voice; ‘Mr. Cheerman, I’ve lived in Illinoy, man and boy, for forty years. Enduring all of which time I’ve follered agrieultooval pursoots exceptin’ for seven years, when I was a-runnin’ of a saw-mill, and I have obsarved this aliout quail; Whenever there is too many quail the good Lord He freezes them out.

I will be still to-day and rest, I will be still and let life drift; I am so tired that it is best Neither my hands nor eyes to lift I am so tired—It is no use, My will can not my need obey; O Care, I nsk a few hours’ trace, I pray the© let mo rest to-day. And so, shut up In restful gloom, I let my hands drop listlessly; Within my dim and silent room I would not move, or hear, or sea Oblivion drop;>od on me her balm. I fell on slumber deep and sweet, And when I woke was strong and calm. And full of rest from head to feet Bo, toiler in lire’s weary ways, Pity thyself, for thou must tire; Roth body, mind, and heart have days They can not answer their desire. Rirds in all seasons do not sing, FJowers have their time to bloom and fall .' There is not any living thing Can answer to a ceaseless call. Sometimes, tired head, seek slumber deep; Tired hands, no burden try to lift; Tired heart, thy watch let others keep, Pity thyself and let life drift. A few hours’ rest perchance may bring Relief from weariness and pain; And thou front listless languors spring, And gladly lift thy work again. HUMOKOUS. Seriously, is the dog star a Bkye ter¬ rier.

Mummies Found in Peru. The ancient city of Pachaeamac wax long, long ago the Mecca of South Amer¬ ica. The name means “He who animates the Universe.” It was a resort of pil¬ grims from far and near, and also the burial-place of tens of thousands of an¬ cient dead, and from a study of many mummies found there much light ha? been given to old-time customs. Many of these were enveloped in a braided network or sack of rushes or coarse grass, bound closely about the body by plaited cords; just beneath these coverings were wrappers of stout, plain cotton cloth, fastened by a gay cord of llama wool, and about and next the body a garment of finer texture; the body it¬ self revealed a mahogany-colored sur¬ face. The implements of the person’s trade were inclosed among these many wrap¬ pings, also a copper coin. About women mummies were wrap- 1 pings of finer cloth, and always a comb I grasped by one hand; this seemed as if made from the rays of fishes’ fins, having for handle the hard, woody part of the dwarf palm. In the other hand lay a cane-huudled fan, its ornamentation the feathers of parrots and humming-birds. About the neck were three strings of shells, and, as with the men, domestic implements lay between the various cov¬ erings—an ancient spigdlo for cotton¬ spinning, half covered with spun thread, as if death had surprised the woman busy i with her daily toil. If a mummy was discovered seated upon a work-box containing bits of knit¬ ting-work, weaving implements, skeins and spools of thread, needles of bone and bronze, a comb, knife, fan—the small | domestic properties given to one opening to fair sweet womanhood—then was it understood that a maiden in her youth and beauty had beeu laid away; that the sleep of death had come with unexpected summons, for at hand were her cosmetic tubes—bird boues, these with a wad of cotton to close the opening, and with some sort of a little mill for grinding and preparing the pigments. Added to these was a mirror—a piece of iron pyrites shaped like half au egg, the plane side of it highly polished. The maiden’s hair was braided; a thin narrow bracelet encircled one arm; there xvas also an ornamental golden butterfly; aud between the feet of the young girl i U y the dried body of a pet bird —ofteu- i est a parrot was thus honored,— Harper's ; Hasar.
