A\ OLD YEAR HOMO.
At through the forest, dimrftf(Kl
By chill November, lute I strayed,
Aloueh minstrel of the wood
Wu siugiug to the solitude;
I loved tliy music, thus I said,
When o’sr thy psreb tb® leave# were spread;
Hwect vm thy song, but sweeter now
Thy carol on the leaflet* bough.
Ring, little bird ! thy onto shall clioef
The sadness of the (lying year.
When violet# pranked the turf with Wu#
And morning filled their run# with dew,
Thy U*ndcr voice with rippling trill
The budding Abril boWer# w<mM fiU,
Kor paused it# joyniw tone# s*r.y
When April rounded int > Mar;
Thy life uledl hall no second dawn—
Ring, little bird! the spring is guns.
And I iwtuomber w< H a-day 1 -
Thy full blown immtner roundelay,
A• when behind a bruidorod scrum
Rome holy maiden sing* unsooti;
With atiHwering note# the woodland rung,
And every tree-top found a tongue.
Mow deep the shade I the grove# how fair!
Ring, little bird ! the woods* urc bare.
Dot now the summer*# chant 1# dono
And mute the choral antiphon;
The bird# have left the shivering pine#
Tvi flit among the trollisod vine#,
< >r fan the air with neon ted pi mm s
Amid the love~aiek orange blooms,
And thon art here alone alone—
Sing, little bird I the rv#t have flown.
The anew ha# capped von distant hill,
At mom the running !r<**k wan Mill.
Prom driven herd# the don4# tiiat ri#a
Are like the smoke of sacrifice,
Kre king the froaen sod shall mock
The plowshare, changed to stubborn rock,
The brawling streaniM shall soon lx* dumb—
King, little bird! the frosts have come.
Fast, fast the lengthening shadows creep,
The songless/owls are half asleep,
The air grow# chill, the setting sun
May leave tin** lie thy song is done,
The pulse that warms tliy bread grow cold,
The secret die with thee untold;
The lingering sunset still is bright—
Ring, litUr turd I ’twitl oon be night.

A FANCY OP C HILDHOOD.
W ANSA r.. C. AIIAMS.
Twas a fancy I held in my childhood—
And I love it e’en now in iny nrirae—
That the stars w ? ere the eyes of the angels
Looking down from their heavenly dime:
IxKtkhig down upon all little children,
Watching over them through the long night,
Peering coldly upon the unruly,
Hniiilng warmly on such as loved right.
And those eyes in the blue were so many,
I fear’d not to pillow my head;
Y'oine one of them all 1 was certain
Would watch o’er my own little bed.
And when from my sight they were hidden,
J anguish my spirit was bowed.
3*1311 that the stars were still shining
sju brightness beyond the dark cloud.
*Ro dearly 1 cherished the fancy—
And l love it e’en now in my prime
That the stars were the eyes of the angel#
1 cooking down from ir hoavtuly chine.
And now that tin* fancy has perished,
And .1 know them as bright worlds afar,
I think that some bright hiving angel*
May have homes in each beautiful star.
Rome Familiar Word* and Phrases.
ItOrd Lyttou somewhere says that after
llorssn haw given iia more
41 notations ho generally in uho us to h-
Mane proverbial, than nnv other author.
Tere#ce, l'luut uh, Virgil, Ovid, and the
•se blinded (track (toot Menander, luivc
m tided much ti> swell our list of proverb*,
a vhile the works of our own Frauklin are
> a rich storehouse of Much expressions.
Do we all know that when we sagely
remark, as we so frequently do, “There a
Many ft slip ’twist the cup and the lip,"’)
t nit we are giving a literal translation otf
in old Greek hexameter; and when wo re
iguodly speak of “smiling through our
1 ars,” little us we suspect it we are quot- ;
jug llomer?
That musty old proverb of Franklin's,
‘ Early to bed and early to rise,” etc., lmn
been the bane of my existence. Many a
delightful fairy story and equally wondev
i.il morning dream have been broken in
upon suddenly and irremediably by the
void’of father or mother saying, “Now,
child, remember the proverb, ‘Early to
bed mid early to rise.'" The proverb,
however ungraciously, has been obeyed,
but alas 1 for the health, wealth and wis
dom so lavishly promised. My eyes are
worn out with use before dawn, the win- j
dom which had they hiul proper rest I
might have obtained in now est, while my
wealth luitv be estimated by the price this
article will bring. “God "help them that
help themselves” is from the same hand,
but bears an independent, energetic spirit, ;
strangely at variance witht he aliiggardly
counsel to spend the long winter evening,
so full of golden opportunities for gaining
knowledge, in idle slumber. Give this
i lea about sleeping early mid rising early
to the winds. More harm is done the
eves by two hours’ use before breakfast
t fum could possibly befall them during the j
rest of the day.
“Never put off till to-morrow wlmt can
bo done to-day,” is also Franklin’s, and
cue can not make a greater mistake than
bv following this proverb, unless indeed
l.e bo an inveterate procrastinator, ltut
for a sane man to deliberately out himself j
off from that increase of knowledge or
huuge of oireumstunees w hich the next
day may bring forth is simply silly. Far
rather would I choose ns mine the render
ing which Murk Twain has put upon this
proverb, “Never do to day what can be
put off till to-morrow."
llabclais has given us many common ox
iiresaious, such ns “Robbing I’eter to pay
•aul," “And lie thought the moon was
made of green cheese.”
The familiar adage, “Evil communica
tions corrupt good manners," was quoted
by St. Paul, and is found in u fragment of
one of the comic, poems of Mcmuulcr.
Many of the trite and seemingly most
national Scotch ami English proverbs have
l>oe;'. borrowed from the East, and oven the
famous old saw , “To curry coals to New
- lias a prototype not only in the
Persian saying, “To carry popper to Hin
d.ostau,” liut also in the Hebrew, “To
carry oil to the city of Olivos.”
Erasmus defines a proverb as being, “A
well-known saying remarkable for some
elegant novelty." Cervantes says it is “A
short sentence drawn from long experi
i nee,” and Lord John Russell declares it
to be “The wit of one and the wisdom of
many,” while Howell describes the ingre
dients of a good proverb to bo “Sense,
shortness, mid salt.”
It is believed that Spain carries off the
palm iu point of originality and elegance,
as she certainly must in number, as one
person lias made a collection of twentv
four thousand, amlKepulles baa since pul),
hshed six volumes of proverbs !
The common expression, “Mind your
p’s and q’s, had its origin in the ale houses
lu the olden time, when it was customary
to keep each man’s account upon the wail
or door. At the head of the bill would tie
toe initials 1’ and V- " bieh stood for pints
and quarts, and as tlic numbers mounted
up we can imagine one kindly rustic say
ing to another, “Mind your p’s and q’s,
man; mind vour p’s and q’a.”
The origin of the phrase, “A feather iu
cap,” ii amounted £w iu the 1.-.n-
I downc manuscript in the British Museum.
! Here mnv be found n description of Hun
gary in 15D9, in which the writer anya of
the inlmliitnnts: “It hath been an antient
- custom among them tlmt none sbould
wear a fether, but he who lmd killed a
Turk, to whom onlio yt was lawful to shew
the number ol slaine cnemys ty the num
ber of fetber# in bismpjx?/’
How frequently we we n child jump
from n retreat nml shriek “Bool” at hi#
frightened little playmate*. The word i#
a corruption of Hob, the non of Odin, ho
tierce a general among the Gothfi that tin*
mere inention of bis name spread a panic
during hi# lifetime and, stranger still, ha#
continued to do mo ever since.
The word batik i* derived from banco, a
bench. Thesis benches were erected in j
tiie market places, and there the exchange# !
in money took place. The first public
bank was established by Jews in Venice,
in the year 1500.
The word skedaddle, the writer had nl-,
ways supposed to be slung of the worst i
type. An article, however, upon the i
word says that it may be readily traced to !
a O reek origin and tlmt Thucydides and,
Herodotus frequently use the word in !
speaking of a routed army.
The M wades and 1 lanes have a similar ;
word bearing the same signification, An !
old version of the Irish New Testament
I contains the passage: “I will smite the
shepherd, and the sheep shall be ngeflad ol j
(all scattered). This word was probably
used by some Irishman at Bull Kun, and
being very expressive was soon taken tip
by every one.
The expression “Getting into ft scrape”
bus its origin in Scotland. Upon the sea
shore in that country the game of “golf
is much played, somewhat, resembling cro
quet or billiards, being played with balls
and mallets. The hole w hich the rabbit
makes is there colled a “scrape,” and as
rabbits are many in number, burrows or
scrapes abound, and balls frequently fall
into them, when the players call out
“You are in a scrape f As of course get
ting in a scrape ruined that stroke, it was
considered an unpleasant position to be
in, and si nee we have applied the phrase
to nil dilemmas.
“It will be done before you can say
Jack Kobin/ion 1” Bncli remarks we fre
quently hear, and one authority says that
the individual so frequently mentioned is
one Mr. John Kohiuaon, who lived in
Westmoreland, and who in a remarkably
short time rose from obscurity to wealth
and power, becoming a member of Parlia
ment and Secretary of the Treasury, be
sides holding other important positions.
Grose says tfieVxpression originated from
a very volatile gentleman bearing this
name, who would call upon bis neighbors
and be gone almost before bis name was an*
nonnoed. A third authority claims the
following lines, taken from an old play,
are the original ones:
“A work# it y# rh casio to be <loono

The word arena hue a most interesting
little bit of Roman history done up in its
small com pass. The word is from the
Latin and means sand. Rut to the stu
dent's eye it means a great deal more. He
i sees the Roman amphitheater crowded to
j its utmost with the beautiful women ami
! brave men of the renowned city. Within
| the circle two gladiators fight, each one
j feeling it is for his life. Hmv earnestly
1 they strive for liberty,hut alas ! how vainly.
Each one at the same moment gives the
fatal blow, anil each one lies weltering in
\ his blood. The people shout, the ladies
I clap their dainty jewele 1 fingers, and the
attendant#eonnng in drag out the dead
Iswlies and strew the ground with fresh
j sand that the new combatants may not
; slip in the blood of their predecessors.
When most of us speak now of the arena
of life, for instance, w e think of the earth
as the battle field and men struggling for
right or for wrong; but the first meaning
of the word has slipped away from us en
tirely.
The word porcelain means in Spanish
little pig. Wlmt possible connection etui
there be between the beautiful china-ware
which glitters in our shop-windows mid
the little pigs rolling in the gutter ? in
1518 the Portuguese effected their settle
ment at Macao, and through them (lie first
specimen* of porcelain were imported into
Europe. They had applied the term por
eettnna to the cowrie shells, which repre
sented oriental money, because of their re
semblance to the pink backs of little pigs.
Afterwards, ns the transparent and beauti
ful ohinn-wure resembled the delicate
cowrie shell, it was called by the same
llama
1 w ill close Ibis article by giving the j
origin of the word quiz, which 1 find to be '
as follows: A theatrical manager in Dub
lin at a dinner-party with some, friends,
when the conversation turned upon the
subject of words, bet a basket of cham
pagne that lie could then and there coin a
word which would lie in the mouth of
everybody in the city the next day. The
bet being taken the party dispersed. The
manager called his errand boys mid lim
ners, gave them pieces of chalk, nud told
them to write the word “quiz” on every j
shutter, door, and fence they could find in
the place. It was done, ami as u matter
of course the new word was iu everybody’s
month the next day, and has won a good
and legitimate standing.— Hearth uni

Tribulations of Locai, Editor.
Once upon a time a local editor dreamed
that lie was dead, and in another world.
He approached the gate of a city before
him and knocked for admittance, hut no :
one answered his summons. The gate re
mained closed against him. Then he cried ;
aloud for an entrance, but the only re
sponse were scores of heads appearing
above the wall on each side of tile gate.
At sight of him the owners of the heads
set up n dismal howl, and one of them
cried: “Why didn't you notice the big j
egg I gave you?” At this horrid and j
most unexpended interrogation, the poor
local turned in the direction of the voice to
learn' its owner, when another voice
shrieked, "Where’s the piece you were
going to write about my sodu fountain ?”
and close upon this was the aw ful demand:
• Why did you write a piece about old
Reddle's fence, and never say n word about
my new gate?" Whatever answer he was
going to frame to this appeal was cut ah- j
ruptiy off by the astonishing query:
“Wlmt did you spell my name wrong in
the programme for?” The miserable man
turned to flee, when he won rooted to tin l
apot.ly this terrible demand: “Why did
you put my marriage among the deaths V”
Ho w ns on the point of saving the foreman
did it, when a shrill voice madly cried:;
“What made you put in my runaway, nud
spoil the sale of lav horse?” And this
was followed by tile voice of a female hys
terically proclaiming: “This is the brute
that botched my poetry, and made me ri
diculous !" Whereupon hundreds of voices
screamed: “Where is my article? Give
me back iv article.” And in the midst
of the liornd din the poor w retch awoke,
perspiring at eve-y pore, and screaming
, for help. The next day lie resigned, and
we had to hunt up another local editor.—

—An exchange says: “Does hanging:

Merciful Justice.
The widow Crepiu was a washer woman
at Values (Department of the Seine).
Her husband had died during the Com
mune; she had but one child left of ten, a
boy six years of ago. Those losses had re
duced her to a state of nervous depression.
She was constantly in dread of losing her
employment, and indeed, having been '
seized with illness, ran into debt, and at!
length was told by her landlord, to whom i
she owed three quarters’ rent that she.
must leave her lodging. She then resolved ,
to put an end to her ow n life and that of
the child, and having dressed herself and
IV little boy in their best clothes, lighted
two braziers of charcoal, lay down with ;
the child and awaited death. The little !
■ fellow died in the middle of the night, i
! but the mother could not die. When she
found that she was alone iu tlie world she :
lit more charcoal, and now felt confident
of approaching release; but hour after
hour passed by, and she still lived. She
kept the neighbors away on the plea of
illness for thirty-six hours after the child's
death, and then, worn out by the horror
of her position, let them iu, and showed
them the corpse of her son. The unhappy
woman was tried for the murder of the
| child, but the jury were so overcome with
pity for her sufferings that, forgetful of
their mi son d'etre, they acquitted her, in
absolute disregard of the patent fact that
; she had taken her sou’s life. This verdict
I is described b v a French journal as “mer
\ -if’.il justice."
