I know the early Summer—
I knew at the season'* end—
That yon and your lore wore plighted;
lfcit could a*' you bo my friend"
Couldn’t we alt in the twilight?
Couldn’t we walk on the shore
With only a pleaeaut friendship
To bind u. ami nothing more'
There was hover a word of nomaa**
Spoken between ua two.
Though wo lingered oft in the garden,
Till tue rosea were wet with duw.
We touched on a thousand subjects—
The moon, and the worlda above ;
But our talks were tinctured with Science,
With never a hint of lova.
•*A wholly platonic Irienship,"
Yeusaid, 1 had proved to yon,
••Could biud a man and a woman
The whole long Summer through,
With never a thought of folly.
Though both are in their youth.”
What would you have said, my lady,
If you had known the truth?
Had I dene wbat my mad heart prompted—
Gone down on my kneea to you.
And told you my paaaionate story
There, In the dusk and dew;
My burning, burdensome story,
Hidden and hushed so loug.
My story of hopeless loving—
Say, would you have thought It wrong?
But I said to my heart, “Be silent;”
I hid my wound from sight.
You were going awsy in the morning,
And 1 spoke a claim ‘ good night,”
But now, when 1 eit in the twilight,
And now, when I walk by the sea,
That friendship quite ‘ platonic”
Comes surging over me,
And a passionate longing fills mo
Tor the roses—the dusk—the dew—
For the beautiful Summer vanished.
The moonlight talks—and you.
A Soiree Among the Star a.
Webstar County Gazette.]
There were sundry mysterious
winks exchanged across the heavens
one bright winter’s night, for it had
been whispered among the Celestials
that the Seven Sisters were to give
a grand soiree that eveuing, which
all the constellations were expected
to attend. The Aurora Borealis had
been engaged to light the balls for
the occasion, and were flashing in all
the splendor when the guests begau
to arrive. First came Cassiopea in
her regal chair, attended by ber
beautiful daughter Andromeda.
Then Orion appeared; he had evi
dently taken more than usual pains
in arranging his sword and belt, for
it was surmised that he was flirting a
little with Virgo. He had rivals,
however, in Castor and Follux, who
soon came in escorting her ladyship;
she was quite pale with fright, occa
sioned by a terrible growl from Leo
as sbe passed bis lair. Had not
Aquarius come at the moment with
his water urn she would not Lave
been able to join the circle.
Mars looked flerao and warlike as
usual, but gave many a teßder glance
at Venus, who was acknowledged star
of the evening.
Jupiter was attended by allot his
satellites, but Mercury sent a polite
note saying he was afraid to venture
so far from the sun, for fear of taking
cold. Earth was there, but appeared
quite bashful with only one attend
ant; the Great Bear was chained to
the North Pole that he might not
disturb the company. The Eagle
came flying down the" Milky Way to
grace the scene with his presence.
All acknowledged that this was the
most brilliant assembly of the sea
son.
Soon a cotillion was proposed, and
after sipping a few goblets of nectar
the partners were chosen and ail be
gan to move in the magic mazes to
the music of the spheres.
And Jupiter, Juno and General
Mars, with Venus and Saturn, danced
around the filed stars.
When the Bister* were weary
Then rose the bud,
And blew out their candles
And spoilt all the fun.
Large Estates.—A correspondent,
writing from New York, says:
Apropos of estates there are several
pretty large ones here. By esiates 1
mean houses and lots, not the wealth
tnat comes under the head of perso
nal property. The largest estate of
the kind in question is, of course, the
Astor, which is estimated at about
$10,000,000. It has been partly divi
ded since Wm. B. Astor’s death, but
none of it has passed outside the As
tor family and its connections. The
Stuyvesant estate is another large
one. It lies on the east side of the
city, and most of it is within the lim
its of Second and Fourth avenues
and Tenth to Twentieth streets. This
region was once part of the Stuvve
sant farm, and Bear tha lower eud of
it, under the north wall of St. Mark’s
Church, the dust of old Peter Stuy
vesant lies. The Lorillard property,
taking its name from the family so
well known in the tobacco trade, is
also quite large, and its value is
probably not less than $10,000,000. A
more extensive estate, however, is
the Goelet, which embraces valuable
property in almost every part of the
city. Most of it belongs to tho old
bachelor, Peter Goelet, who lives in
an old-fashioned house at the corner
of Broadway and Nineteenth streets,
and occupies part of his time taking
care of his family of fowls and his fat
cow. The Goelet property is worth,
all told, aboutsls,ooo,ooo. The value
of the Trinity corporation property,
which is mostly down town, is not
definitely known, but an estimate of
sß.ooo,oooiprubabiy would not be far
wrong. Whfft i* khowu as the Sea
man’s Snug Harbor property is like
wise of considerable value. It em
braces the ground on which Stewart’s
great up town store is built, and a
pretty large tract down towards
Washington Square, including the
site of the large residence of Wm.
Butler Duncan—or at least what was
Mr. Duncan’s residence before he
failed.
TkUki Ha I. a Ilor.e.
The other day a man forty-five
years old, named Trenton, and living
near the Washington Union Schooi,
went home and informed his wife
that he had turned into a horse.
The news didn’t surprise her a bit.
She has had to support him for the
last ten years, and long ago hoped
for almost any change. Trenton at
once pulled off his boots, coat and
vest, strapped a blanket arouDd him,
and a corner of the kitchen has been
bis stall ever since. He paws and
neighs like a horse, and many citi
zens have called to see him. Yester
day morning while a crowd was
around the “stall” and the wife was
telling them that her husband was
always half-fool or lunatic, he let
both hind feet fly and hit trer on the
chin.
“Horse—man—fool or. what, I’ll
have revenge for that,” she exclaim
ed, and sbe seized him by the hair
and kicked bis ribs until he called
out: , .
“Wait till this crowd is gone and
I’ll show you who runs this stall!” —
Fla. Union.
Washington Capital: We have some
patriotic gentlemen of the Democratic
faith who are eloquent in their appeal to
the people four years hence, and tell us
much about the slpw, unmoving finger of
public scorn. There is an old story ex
tant of a thief caught by a pious lady steal
ing a shirt from a clothes-line
“God will punish yon for that at the
great day,” cried the aged Christian.
"Ghd, madam," responded the purloiner
o( underwear, "if you give me that time
I’ll take a dozen.”

Thi* incomparable preparation for the Hair is
commended to the public on its own merits.
It prevents the Hair from falling off. producing
a rapid and healthy growth eradicates scurf and
dandruff, and cures diseases of the scalp. Try it
and judge for yourself.
[From Rev. E. T. Baird, Sec’y of Publication of
Presbyterian Church South.]
Richmond, July 27,1874.
The Xanthine is the only hair dressing I have
ever used which lias removed the dandruff from
the scalp aud made my hair soft and pliable. It
has also restored my hair to its natural color; and
by occasionally using it as a hair dressing, I have
no doubt it will preserve the color.
E. T. BAIRD.
[From Rev. Mr. Cameron, Minister of Presbyte
rian Church South.)
Mossy Creek, Tenn, Aug. 22, 1876.
Xanthinb Cos., Richmond, Va.:
I have used the Xanthine now for three years,
and have induced others to buy it, and have nev
er known it to fail in accomplishing all you
claim for it. It is an excellent tonic, a pleasant
dressing, removing and preventing dandruff and
all unpleasant itching, promoting and preserving
the natural growth and color of the hair, and ren
dering it glossy and pliable. I confidently,
cheerfully, knowingly recommend it.
