A picture hangs on my study wall Of a stately maiden, fair and tall; Like a graceful flower, on supple stem, Her head, with its regal diadem Of braided strands in shaded brown, Wears like a blossom fair nature's cr6wn; While fluffy tendrils about her brow, The soft west wind seems lifting now. I turn my ear to catch the word (For a sound from those lips I surely heard: While the eyes from their depths of tender, est hue, As well as the lips are speaking, too! No, I am deceived-she did not speak, For the roundae1 outline of either cheek Is unbroken by dimples, while at her throal The filmy lace imprisons the note. So, ivy-wreathed among my books, A fair Minerva she sweetly looks. While sLe silently watches me day by day My thoughts from the picture will wandei away To her fairer self-oh, painter's art! You can never picture a woman's heart. And a stranger who only her sweet face can see - Can never know what she is to me! FIRST LOVE* BY DUSTY FOOT. "Am I your only and first love?' asked a bright eyed girl as she re. clined her classically moulded brow upon the shoulder of her lover. "No, Lelia, you are not my only nor my first love-I have loved another. Long years.before I saw you I loved another, and I love that other still." "Love that other still-and better than me! Paul, why do you tell me that ?" said she, rais ing her dark blue eyes and gazing steadily in those of her lover, hall in astonishment and half in sor row, wbile her jewelled fingerE tightened convulsively on hiE arm. "You asked me, Lelia, and I an. swered you with sincerity ; you would not have me deceive you, would you ?" "You love her still, then ?"' "I love her still." "And better than you do me ?" "No better, but as well." "And wvill love her still ?" "Until death, and even beyond death-over her last resting plaec .l will strew spring's earliest flow ers, and bedew the spot with the purest tears that love ever shed.' "Hansomer than I is she not ?' "Her eyes are as black as night and her hair in glossy blacknew outlives the wings Qf the raven She' hasn't yotur sweet blue eyes your soft brown hair ; yet, ol Lelia ! her eyes have been t h< sweetest eyes to me that evel looked the.look of eternal love."' "Paul, why do you wish t< break my heart? Why have yot taught me to love you so wildly so blindly-and then in the mids1 of my happiness tell me thal there is an impassable barrier be t ween us ? This night, Paul, w< must part forever ! I would nol have believed this had.anothei told me ?" and her eyes grew dire with tears. "Be not too rash, Lelia, heal me to the end ; you love me tot dearly to part with me thus Think you that you could nol share my heart with one that I s< dearly love ?" "Never, Paul, never !" "You shall, Lelia, and must Listen for a moment while I tel you of .my first love, and I arn sure you wiil be willing to shar< it with her then." "I. will lister, Paul, but w~il not share your love ;I must hav< all or none; J am selfish iu tha respect-and who that loves as do is not ? Forget mel Paul, or for get her forever !" "Forget her, ;Lelia ? Yever! would not lose one jot of her pun affection for the fairest face tha ever bloomed ; no, not for th girdle of Venus or for the love o a second Helen." - 'Then, Paul, you are lost to m~ forever :we fiust part. F'are well to our pyer'y trirar of a brigbt 9er future. I love you w ell, an< Iam too proud to share your lov with aught created. Oh, Paul and her exquisitely chiselled lips curled in indignant sorrow. "Stop, Lelia, or you will deeply wrong me also. I met this loved one, as I said before, in one of the sweetest, sunniest vales of our broad Illinois; wandered with her hand in hand. for long years, be. side the sparkling waters of my childhood's bome. First, by her smile of exquisite sweetness, she taught my heart that she loved with unutterable foirdness, and never have I doubted ; my trust in her has ever since been st.ead fast and fearless; never has her eyes looked coldly upon me, and never will it till the death angel shall dim it for the long sleep. Oft in the still hours of the night have I been awvakened us if by the gen tle fanning of the sleep-god's wing; and beheld that face, those eyes gazing upon me with all the beatific tenderness of a guardian an(rel over a repenting prodigal; and a kiss would fall upon my brow more so)thing than the dew of Hebron. The same gentle hand has held me along life's flowery way, and beside its un rufflied waters; and if ever my arm was raised to do a deed of wrong, or my heart steeled to conceive it, that gentle, admoni tory voice came whispering in my ear, and stayed the.one midway, and drew the iron from the other. And I do well remember, in my manhood's riper years, when deep sorrow fell upon my,soul, and I fain would have drank oblivion from the wine cups's fiery brim, that same dark-eyed woman came and bade me, in the namo of God, to shun the fatalsnare, and twining her arms around my neck, while her eyes beamed with love's deep est inspiration, she poured oil up on the troubled waters, told me of purer hopes and brighter aims, and in my ear whispered a golden word that has outlived all sorrow. Lelia, would you know the name of my first love ? 'Tis my mot her !" "Oh, Paul! I'll torgive you and bhare your love-indeed I will." "I knew you would, Lelia. Second tove is as dear as the first." Boys WILL BE BoYS.-Shbe bad invited him to supper, and he was trying to appear easy and uncon cerned, while she was on her prettiest behavior. "Have you used the sugar, John ?" inquired thbe mother, in a winning manner. . "John don'L want no sugar," ejaculated teyoung heir, ab ruiptly. 4.Wby not ?"i iquired the father, curiously, whbile John, in his sur prise, swvallowed a bit of toasted crust and nearly cut his. throat open. "Cos he don't," explained the heir, in an artful manner ; "I heard him tell Mary last night-" "You keep still," interrupted Mary, in an hysterical manner, while the young man caught his breath in dismay. "I heard him say," persi.sted..he heir, with dreadful eagerness, "that she was. so swp he shoulnt never use no more sugar any more-an' then he kissed her, an' I said I'd tell, an'-" The young heir was lifted out of the room by his ear, and the supper was finished in moody silence. '-Bangs" sends us the following composition on rabbits, by a school-boy of his aeguaintance : 'Rabbits is generally~ about the size of a cat. They ain't so useful to catch rats as a eat, but they will pull the bark offof my grandfather's pear tree, pnd be got mad, and kicked the stuffin' out of him, and s kun him. Rabbits' ears is long, so you can pick em up easy. A rabbit often has red eyes, but if a gir-l had red eyes she'd look bad, you bet. Me and another boy done up some hoss radish in a cabbage leaf, and ggve it to Mr. H iackett's rabbit to eat, and he 'jmped over a clothes line and run into the kitchen and upset a btgket of syrup al[ over his hai, an he was a dick-lookin' rabbit, -and don't you forget it, I'd ruther be a dog than a rabbit."

Parting from Home-Adieu, my Native La Adieu!-y Fellow-pasengers--The Grei Ocean Steamer-A Life on the Ocean Wave-Arrival at Halbion's Hile. "Carriage at the door, sir 1" roai Betty from the foot of the stairs, the hack rolled up to my house the 30th day of March, which v to convey me to the steam:sl "City of Berlin," on which I h taken passage for Liverpool. the last moment, of course, eve thing was in confusionf "Do lose your shirts," cried my wi from the second story window, she disconsolately wiped her ey "Your handkerchiefs are in the b tom of your trunk," said Sus, standing in the kitchen door, wh a big tear rolled off the end of I nose. "Don't forget my seals] sacque," said one ; "Lavender ki, five and three-quarters," said ai ther; "A camels'-hair shawl : mother," shrieked my youngi daughter, "and two silk dresses: me." Old shoes, as harbingers luck, were showered after me friendly and weeping neighbo A crack of the whip, the hor leaped forward, and in a minut had left my happy home behii with all its loves, its hopes, and terder memories, whose portal should cross no more for eight lo months, or, perhaps, for ever. Reathing the steamship, I fou an army of friends awaiting me, of them bearing - gifts of love, I grateful memory of which will mine as long as life remains. WI I write, before me hang two bask of beautiful flowers, which I h brought three thousand miles o the sea, the faded rose-leaves which have still a sweet fragrai which reminds me of my disti home and ever-present loves a absent friends. God-speeds, ble ings, kind wishes, hand-shakin telegrams, and letters poured upon me, till at last I heard shrill cry of "All ashore !" Th was a sudden rush, the gangv was hauled in, the hawsers w cast off, and the noble steamsb "City of Berlin," swung slowly into the stream. For a momeni seemed as if the ties that had bon me to home, country, frien< and all that makes life worth ha ing, had suddenly snapped asand afeeling of iitter loneliness and dei lation crept over me. I felt a e king sensation in the throat, ani sudden mistipess clouded my .ey whil@ cheer after cheer went from those we had left behir and whose faces faded from view as we rapidly steamed out sight. Whatever misgivings I had abc my ocean trip were dispelled soon as I had collected myself su ciently to take a look at i noble vessel on which I had e barked, and at the officers who b her ini charge. ThIe "Qity of B ln" is one of the largest and fin< steamships in the world, being a feet long, nearly 6,000 tons burthi and -having within her mig] hull ample accommodation for 2,( passengers. Even those who tra frequently by sea have but a lirr ed idea of what a wonderful thi an ocean,steamship is; walking I deck, looking up at her toweri masts, or legmining her hull, geer realized it. It was not ut under the guidance of her chief< gineer, Mr. Campbell, I had visit the pngine roorm, an~d, twenty-f feet belQw the level of the sea, I walked along the whole length the mighty shaft wvhich drives'i Giant propeller, that I began to el mate this grandest modern triumn of human genius, as she rolled cnrely on the stordi-lashed oce; breasting the howling tempes,t2 seemed to, reali4e ths ancient fa of Ajax defying the lightning of Gods. "Step this way," said Mr. Can bell, the engineer. "ILook Qut, s here take this bit of cotton in y4 hands. .Now mind where you] down your foot." Down, down do1 we went till at last we stood n the keel, the huge shaft, 200 f long, was revolving in its bearir as smoothly and as noiselessly the spindle of a lady's sewing m chine. From that I passed inI -- the fire room; thirty six monst< T- fires were blazing like mad undi twelve immense boilers which ge erated a power of steam equal I ndt the labor of 5,000 horses. Da It and swarthy the fire demons movE busily to and fro, constantly feediE the insatiable monster,nightand da; ed whose cry was still for more, mor more! Into those red hungry jav on went a hundred tons of coal eat as day; the mere food of this oces Leviathan representing more toi ad nage than the entire measuremei At of the largest ships of forty yea ago. Tremendous pistons! Titan n' arms of steel rose and fell lil e feathers, but with the terrible ce ' tainty of fate, seeming to say to o] sOcean, "Resist me if you dare," i ot- the iron prow tore the resistit waves apart, and the great steami swept on like a sea gull in i ie flighit. ier ;n ci As we steamed down the beaul fal bay, salutes and cheers came I us from all the passing vessel or Captain Kennedy stood up on tl . bridge, quietly surveying the seen for while the pilot ws in comman of he was absolved from all responi by bility. The face of the captain w hard and bronzed, the deep lina telling of years of struggle wil a ocean waves and ocean storms. I id, seems to fill the idea of the perfe its model sailor.

About four o'clock g in the morning I was awakened T, with the cry for a doctor. Stubbs a, was ill. He was afraid he had rs contracted some contagious disease h in America.

A TROUBLESOME VERB. An educat'onal journal thus de scribes the trouble a Frenchman had with the verb "break." "i begin to understand your language better," said my French friend, Mr. Dubois to me, "but your verbs trouble me still; yon mix them up so with preposi tions." "1 am sorry you fi,d-thein so troublesome," was all I could say. "I saw our friend, Mrs. Mur. keson, just now," he continued. ':She says she intends to break down housekeeping'; am I right there ?" "Break up housekeeping, she must have said." "Oh, yes, I remember; break up housekeeping." "Wby does she do that ?" I asked, "Because her health is so broken into'?" "Broken down, you should say." "Broken down ? oh yes. and in deed, since the small pox has broken up in our city-" "Broken out !" "She thinks she will leave it for a few weeks." "Will she leave her house alone ?" "No ; she is afraid it will be broken-broken-how do I say that ?" "Broken into." "Certainly, it is what I mean to say.) "Is her soh to be married soon ?" "No; that engagement is broken -broken-" "Broken off ?" "Yes, broken off." "Ah, I had not beard that." 14 he is very sorry about it. Her son only broke the news down to her last week. Am I right? I am anxious to speak English well." "He merely broke the news. No preposition this time." "It is hard to understand. That young man, her son,- is a fine fellow ; a breaker, I think." "A broker, and a very fine fellow. Good day." So much for the verb "to break." YOUNG GIRas.-Our young-'girls do not understand the witchery of bright eyes and rosy lips, but set off their beauty byall the artificial means which lie in their power, never reflecting that by so doing they destroy their principal charm -that of innocence. Thbeir round ded cheeks, the bright eyes, the waving hair of a girl in her teens need only the simplest setting. Rich fabrics and sumptuous adorn ing are~ *more for the matron, her dress gaining in ample fold and graceful sweep as she puts on the dignity of years. The' seasons teach us something here, i fwe go to nature for an object lesson. How different her vbarm 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 discard artificiality for nature. FRIENDs.-People whbo have warm friends are hea!thier and happier than those who have none. A single real friend is a treasure worth more than gold or precious stones. Money can buy many things good, and evil. All the wealth of a world could not buy a friend or pay you for the loss of one. "I have only wanted one thing to make me happy," Haz litt writes, "but wanting that have wanted everything." And again, "My heart, shut up in a prison house of this rude clay, has never found, nor will it ever find a heart to speak to." We are the weakest of spendthrifts if we let one friend drop off through inattention or let one push away another ; or if Iwe bold aloof from one for petty jealousy or heedless slights or roughness. Would you throw away a diamond because i'. pricked you? One good friend is noto be weighed against the jewels of~ Ithe earth. A true christian mnay-fail:itot sin, but he w1H- not lie, down in i
