LINDA TO IIAFED.

BT THOMAS MOORE.
Flow sweetly, faiu the trembling maid,
Of her own gentle voice afraid,
So Iona had they in silence stood.
Looking upon the moonlight flood_
“How s veetly does the moonbeam smile
l o-night upon yon leafy isle !
Oft in my fancy’s wanderings.
I've wished that little isle had wings,
And we. within its fairy bowers,
Were wafted off to seas unknown,
here not a pulse should beat but
And might ours,
we live, love, die alone 1
Far from the cruel and the cold
-
Where the bright eyes of angels only
Should come around us to behold
A paradise so purs S.nd lonely !
WouM this be world enough for thee ?”
1 Fijiully she turned, til t he might
Tne see
passing smile her cheek -put cn ;
But when she marked how mournfully
His eyes met hers, that smile was gone;
And, bursting into heartfelt tears,
“Yes, yes,” she cried, “my hourly fears;
My dream have 1 oded all too right—
We part—fore/er part—to-night!
I knew, I knew it could not last—
'Twas bright, ’twa, heavenly, but •«, past!
O, ever thus, thorn childhood’s hour,
.
I’ve seen my fondest, hopes decay;
I never loved a tiee or flower
But ’twas the first to fade away.
I never nursed a dear gazelle.
To glad me with its soft black eye,
But when it came to know me well,
And love me, it was sure to dii l
Now, too, the joy most like divine
Of all [ ever dreamt or knew,
To see thee, hear thee, call thee mine—
O mrieiy ! must I lose that too ?”

Mr. Larkin Turner, kged 110 years,
died in Meriwether county, Ga., on Feb¬
ruary 28. When he felt the approach of
death he settled limself firmly in his
chair (refusing to lie down) and died sit¬
ting erect and without a struggle. Du¬
ring his long life he h id but one short nG
tack of fever, having never taken a dose
of medicine until that time, which was
about the time he was 100 years of age.

‘*tn that case said Mr, Bishop, ‘‘it will

only wish you had to earn your money

The poor man rose from his seat and
walked sadly out of Mr. Merton’s office,
•His last hope w:k gone. He had just
recovered from a long i’lness which had

weary-looking j woman, opened it. The
j )00 , 0 | ( man requested ]'‘ i itnissibti to
enter and rest awhile, saying he was very
tired with ln<* long journey, for he had
walked many miles that day.
Mrs. Bishop coidially invited him in,
and gave hi Mi the best seat the loom at
fonled ; she then began to make prepa¬
ration for tea.
The old gentleman watched her at¬
tentively, He saw there was no elas‘.iei8
ty in Her step, no hope in her tnoverin nis,
and pity for her began to steal into his
heart. When her husband entered, her
features relaxed into a smile, and she
forced a cheerfulness int© ber manner.
The traveler noted it all, and he was
forced to adrhive this woman who could
assn me’a cheerfulness she did not feel for
her husband's sake. After the table was
nr°pared. there was nothing on it but
bread and butter and tea. They invited
the stranger to eat with them, saying,
“We have not much to offer you, but a
cup of tea will refresh you after your
long journey.’
He accepted their hospitality $ and, as
they discussed the frugal meal, led tfierii,
without seeming to do so, to talk of their
affiiis.
“I bought tins piece of land,’ said Mr.
Bishop, ‘at a very low price, and instead
of waiiit'ng as I ought to have done, un¬
til I saved tbe money to bui d, I thought
I would borrow a tew hundred dollars.
The interest oh the money would not be
near as much as the rent I was paying,
and I would be saving something by it.
I did not, think there would be any diffi
cully in paying back the money ; but the
first year iffy wife and one of Hiy children
were ill, and the expense left me with*
means to pay the debt. Mr. Merton
agreed to wait another year if I would
pay the interest, which I did. This year
I was for seven months finable to work
at my trade and earn anything, and, of
course, wlien pay-day comes around—
and that will be very soon—I shall be
unable to meet the demand.’
“But, said the stranger, ‘will not Mr.
Merton wait another year, if you make
all the circumstances known to him?’
“No, sir,’ replied »Mr. Bishop ; “I saw
him this morning, he said he must have
the money and should be obliged to fore¬
close. *
“He must be very hard hearted,’ re¬
marked the traveler.
.

Bishop.^ “Tlie iact . these rich

expression,) they can at once pm them

appieciate difficulties, and are therefore
always ready to render assistance, art far
as they are able.. if Mr. Merton had the
least idea what I and* my family had to
pass through, I think he would be wi 1
ing to wait several years for his money
rather than distress us.’
YV ith what emotion tfie stranger lis¬
tened may be imagined. A new world
was being opened to him. He was passs
in r through an experience that h?id nev
er bee a his before. Shortly atter the
conclusion of the meal he arose to take
his leave, thanking Mr. and Mrs. Bish¬
op for their hospitality. They invited
him to stay all night, telling him he iv as

The next day d boy called at the cou
lage and left a package in, a large blue
envelope, addressed to Mr. Bishop.
Mrs. Bishop was very much alarmed
u uen she took it, for large blue envel>
opes were associated in her mind with
law and lawyers, and she thought it bo¬
ded no good. She put it away until her
husband returned from his work, when
she handed it to him.
He opened it in silence; read its con
tehts; and said fervently, ‘‘Thank heav
“Good news,’ replied John. “Such
news as I never hoped or even dreamed
of.’
‘What is it—what is it ? Tell me qu'ck !

“Mr. Merton has canceled the morl.
gage—released me from the debt, both
interest and principal—and says if I ever
need further assistance, and will let him
know it I shall have it.’
“I am sb glad 1 It has put hew life in*
to me,’ said the’ now happy wife. “But
what can have dome oVe.r Mr, Merton ?’
“T do net know. It seems strange af¬
ter the way he talked to me yesterday
morning. I w II go light over to Mr.
Merton’s and tell him how happy lie has
made us.’
He totinri Mr. Merton in, and express¬
ed his gratitude in glowing terms.
“U hat could haveinduced you to shew
us so much kindness .? He asked.
Mr. Merton replied : “I followed your
suggestion and put myself in your place.
I expect that it will astbnlsrx you very
much to learn that the strange traveler
to whom you showed so much kindness
yesterday was myself.’
“Indeed ! can that be true" How did
you disguise yourself so well ?’ exclaim¬
ed Mr. Bishop.
“I was not so much disguised after ah;
but jou could hot very well associate Mr.
Met'ton; the lawyer, with a poor, way -
taring man,’ laughed Mi. Mer*on.
“Well, it is a good joke,’ said Mr.
Bishop ; “good in more sense than one.
It has terminated very pleasantly for
me;’ 5
“I was surprised,’ said Mr. Merton, ‘at
the b r oad and liberal views you express¬
ed of men and their actions generally. I
supposed I had greatly the advantage
over you in means and education ; yet
how cramped and narrow-minded have
been my views beside yours! That wife
of yours is an estimable woman, and
your boy will be an honor to any man. I
tell ybd; Bishon. you are rich—rich be¬
yond whit money could make you, you
have treasures that gold will not buy. I
tell you, you owe me no thanks. Some¬
how I seem to have lived years since
yestei-day morning. What I hate lean,,
ed at your house is worth more than you
owe ine, and I am your debtor yet.
Hereafter I shall take as my motto, “Put
yourself in his place,’ and try to regulate
my actions by it,”

Young Girls —Our young girls do
not understand the witchery of blight
eyes and rosy lips, but set off their beauo
ty by all the artificial means which lie in
their pow er, never reflecting that by so
doing they destroy their principal charm
-that of innocence. Their rounded
cheeks, the bright eyes, the ovaving hair
of a girl in her teeris need only the sim¬
plest eett’ng. Rich fabrics and sumptu¬
ous adohiliig ate iiidre for the matron,
her dress'gaining in ample fold and grace**
tul sweep as she puts ou the dignity ot
years. The seasons teach us something
here, if w^e go to nature for an object
'esSori. How different her charm from
the deep, maturing summer, when the
hues are decided, and the air is loaded
with perfume from a thousand censers.
The school girl is only on the threshold
of summer. She has not crossed it yet.
Let her copy the sweet grace of the
spring on her graduation day, and dis*
cit’d artificiality for nature.
A hen may be calculated to consume
one bushel of corn yearly, and to lay
twelve dozen or eighteen pounds of eggs.
This is equivalent to saying that 3.1
pounds of corn will produce, when fed to
this hen, one pound of eggs. A pound of
pork, on the contrary, xequires about
five and one third pounds of corn for its
production. When eges are twenty four
cents a dozen, and p rk is ten cents a
pound, w 7 e have tlie bushel of corn fed
producing $2.85 worth of eggs, and but
$1.05 worth of pork.

Welch, of Kfllingly, Conn. Swallowed
