They are coming in troops to the tune of the wind; Red-beaded woodpeckers drumming, Gold-crested thrushers behind; Sparrows in brown jackets hopping Past every gateway and door; Finches with crimson ever stopping Just where they stopped years before. M-rch! March! March! They are slipping fato their places at last, Little white lily-bads dripping Under the showers that fall fast; Buttercups, violets, roses; Snowdrop and bluebell and pink; Throng upon throng of sweet posies, Bending the dewdrops to drink. March! March! March! They will hurry - Forth at the wild bugle-sound, Blossoms and birds in a fiarry, Flattering all over the ground, Hang out your flags, birch and willow! Shake out your red tassels, larch! Grass-blades, up from your earth-pillow! Hear who is calling you-March! in HRT OWN LIF. -0 Mrs. Christie put her eye glaases on ind looked long and critically at Jobie Wurren, walking along on the bluff, wiLh little Lucy Grosvenor beside her, and Flos sie trotting on ahead, nearly ob scured by her wide Leghorn hat, and her sand paii and shovel. Mrs. Grosvenor looked at Josie's retreating figufo a slight flush of consciousness on her face. 'It is certainly very absurd, Mrs. Christie, but I am actually iafaid Claude is falling in love with her.' 'No! Dr. Carey in love with his sister's hired governess, and a nursery governess at that! Mabel, ypu horrify me!' There is nothing so horrible about it, at least, so Claude says,' she 'rturned disconsolately. 'Of cOurse, Josic is a refined, lady-like girl, and undoubtedly very lovely xr: appearance. Butr-' I should think it was 'but,' Mrs. Christie said, vigorously. 6The idea of Claude, with his posi tion in society, in the medical world-with his wealth his popu larity-turning his attention to an obscure, nameless girl ! Is your brother insane ?' 'I am not sure. I think so much about such things, and, of course, Claude has an undoubted right to seek his happiness whben and where he prefers. .But Josie is rather peculiar. I meer 0ae - not that I do not quite like her, but she is-she rather likes to affect little frightened airs to ap peal to people to assure her every thing is all right, and particularly toClaude.' 'Perhaps I don't quite under stand you, Mabel ! You mean to say Miss Warren is a coward, a -baby, or simpiy airish and selfish I either of which qualities con demn her.' ~Judge for yourself. The last day Claude ran down from his patients for a day with us be happened to leave the key of that walnut case you have seen in the hall by his room in the lock, and Lucy unfastened it, not knowing that it contained some rather ghastly specimens of human structure, things Claude had sent down to oblige one of his pro fessional friends in the village and Josie shrieked and fainted, and Claude was some time in re storing her.' 'A pretty piece of acting, and very flimsy also.' 'She refuses to bathe because she is afraid of the undertow. She will not go sailing or crab bing, for fear of being upset. She never rides, because horses might run away wiLh her. What is it, Mrs. Christie-fear or airishness?T And that wise lady answered very solemnly : 'It is neither nervousness or cowardliness. It is disgusting af fection, because your brother hap pens to be a physician, who can be *called to allay her agitation. I am surprised at Claude-s-u.r-p i-s-e-d at Claude's fancy for ber.' And while this discussion was progressing Josie Warren and the ltle Grosvenors were getting farther aNay down the breezy blutf, the brisk salt air bringing vivid roses to her cheeks. She was certainly very lovely, and a credit to Dr. Carey's taste. Sou was slender and graceful, with a ertain unctonsciouslneA of man ncr that was her chief charm. There was the most bewiiching look of appeal in her soft gray eyes, and an air of frank depen. dence in everything she did something almost indefinable - that made you think of a elinging ivv vine or the blush roses that needed a treiiis to sup.port their fragrant bloom. 'You pro.ised to take us to Lily Island, Miss Warren,' Lucy said, coaxingly, 'Can't we go now?' ''m afraid not,' she said, pleasantly. -1 did not ask your mother if she would allow us to walk so far, and bes'des, Lucy, I think she would enjoy going too. Suppose we go oack and see about it?' 'To Lily Island? I'm not sure you had better go, children,' Mrs. Grosvenor said undecidedly. 'It's a long walk and the sun is ha.' 'But we needn't walk, mamma,' Lucy said eagerly. 'Bertie How land said he would row you and Flossie and his Aunt Annie in his boat, a-nd Niss Warren and I can walk-can't we,-Miss Warren? We don't mind the sun ; we like it don't we, Miss Warren ?' Aunt Annie,' otherwise Mrs. Christie, looked pointedly at Josie. 'I dare say Miss Warren favors such an arrangement, but if there should come up a sudden shower, as we had about this time yester day, what would you do with her, Lucy?' Josie laug.hed, and turned pale nevertheless; for she yas extreme ly sensitive to even well-bred ridi. cule on her weak point. 'I think we'll go since Bertie is so kind, and Lucy is so anxious. They say Lily Island is well worth a visit. If you will bring my shade hat and parau,], Miss War.re, I thil-k we'll start as soonl as Master Bert i.- is ready.' And w!ile Mrs. Grosvenor ad 1aby Flossie were -owe.I do. n o.r ihe lovely 'ibay )y Ber-ie 11o, A - o rng. skillul iands, gallant little Lucy escorted Miss Warren to the walk that led to the nwrow sandy istlhnus that connected 'Lily Island' with the mainland. Of course the boating party had reached there first, and congratulated Josie and Lucy o having arrived safely in a way that, although she knew it was more badinage cut Josie's sensilive nature to the very quick. But she put the painful feeling away as well as sbe could, and joined in the little ones' search for shells with a zest that commanded even Mrs. Christie's respect and admira tion, until all at once, Bertie sprang up from the sands with a low horrified cry. - The tide is coming i.n! Auntie, Mrs. Grosvenor, Miss Warren, jump into the boat as quick as you can! Come Lucy, Flossie! Oh, how could we all have forgotten that the island is submerged every day at this hour, when the flood tide comes in!' Josie stood still, white as a ghost, while Mrs. Christie sprang up with an agility amazing fox one of her years and avoirdupois, her face blanched. Submerged! Of course, it is under water several hours every day, but I did not know when the tide came in to. day! Get in Mabel, quickly. The tide is fearfully strong! I doubt if Bertie can row us in tbe face of it1.' But Mrs. Grosvenor, sat as ii bewildered, while Mrs. Christie climbed frantically in the boat, rocking it each minute. Josie touched her on the shoulder. 'Please lose no time, Mrs. Gros venor. It is true the tide is com. ing in with terrible force. There is not a minute to lose. I will assist you in the boat.' And she half supported, half forced he, into the boat, while Flossie anc Lucy, with hushed, terrified faces crouched down between the tw< ladies, leaving scarcely any roori for Bertie to wield his oar, certain ly no space for her. 'There's no room for Mies War ren,' he shouted trantically. 'iis: Warren, can you row? Zan yoi take the boat over? I'U stay.' 'I cannot row, Bertie,' she sait in a how bushed voice, that dit not seem to her like her own. 'Get in quick and get them home! Don't you see there is a squall cominlg up?' Mrs. Grosvenor lifted her head, white and horrified. 'You mustn't leave Miss Warren,' she whispered feebly. 'Climb in and I will take Lucy on my lap.' And then Josie's strange, aw. fully calm arswer: 'You are already overloaded. 31y added weight might swanp the boat. Go on! I can be better spared than any of you, if God so will. If there is time'-and here her sweet voice quivered-'you can send the boat back for me, Bertie, if not, I am not afraid to die!' The little boat crept laboriously toward land and safety and hap. piness; and Josie Warren knew with a deathly thrill of something at her heart, that before it reach ed the shore, the cruel, crushing seething wave would have swept relentlessly over Lily Island. That night! And while he would be there among them all, she would be lying dead-drowned; with seaweeds in her hair. And a cold, ice cold shudder crept nearer and nearer her heart, that beat so feebly. The surf thundered all 4round the little spot of land that was (rrowing smaller so perceptibly. The skies grew blacker and darker; the wind howled and shrieked like a demon. She dragged berself up off the sands where the water iad alrea dy met her feet, and dazedly to a wretched littlo rock a few feet higher. The waves rose, and rose, and rose, and she was alone with the bitterness of death. While the little boat made the shore, and Mrs. Grosvenor stagger 4d out on the beach with ashen lips and horror stricken eves. 'Get somebldy to go ta-k for Miss Warren, quick!' she gasped. 'She is on Lily Island ! I'll give you $100 if you'll bring her hack?' She turned imploringly to a wea ther-beaten old fisherman who had watched them land. Liy Island! May God rest her soul!' and lie lifted his ragged cap reverently. 'Lily Island is five feet under water by this.time!' And Mrs. Christie's face grew ashen with borror, w.hilo Mrs. Grosvenor stood clasping and on clasping' her hands in a panic ol frenzy. -Josie! Josie!' she cried in agony. You have given your life for me and mine, and I dared to think you were a cow ard!' 'She will not die,' Dr. Carey said, quietly, with a throb of rap turous, reverent thanksgiving in his voice, as he laid Josie's slender hand back on the coverlet of Mrs. Grosvenor's bed. -She has been very near the gate of death, but God wIl not demand the awful sacrifice. She will live!' And Josie did live to learn that a party of fishermen, had seen her on the rocky point on the island, the waters within a yard of its summit, and found her in a deep faint so like death that it was hours before she was restored to life and love. Never again,even when Claude's wife grew white and agitated over trifles, did any one make light of i, for there were those who loved -er dearly, who realized she had elected to give her bright, sweet young life for theirs. We flit through the dreamy hours of Summer like swift-winged bumble bees amid the honeysuckle and pumpkin blossoms, storing away perhaps a little glucose honey and buckwheat pancakes for the future, but all at once, like a newspaper thief in the niight, the king of frost and ripe, mellow chilblains is upon us, arnd we rouch beneath thme wintry blast arid hump our spinal column into the crisp air like a Texas steer that has thoughtlessly swallowed a raw cactus.-Laramie City Boom erang.

It is a fiamiliar fact that a black object oti a white ground will ap pear much larger than it is in re ality. Fo:- example, a white stripe on a black surfaco is apparently broader than a black stripe of equal width on a w hite surface. Peter ScherfFer has sought an ex planation of the pbenomenon, and thus accounts for it. When one of our senses receives a double sensation, one being strong and the other weak, the latter is not felt. Especially is this the case when both impressions are of the same kind, or when a strong effect upon one of the senses is followed by a weaker one ofthe-same kind. Eight prizes of $125 each have been offered by the Royal Society of New South Wales for the best communication giving the results of original study or observations on as many specified subjects. The subjects have special refer ence to Australian progress. Recent attention has been drawn to the value of the Quillia tree of Chili, on account of the p.owerful cleansing properties of its bark. It is said to be more effective un der certain conditions than the best soap. It is already used to some extent in washing silk and wool. An aeronaut ascending from Paris on a cold and cloudy day in February recrded 4 tempera.ure of 68 degeees at a height of 3000 feet. This result occasioned no little a-tonishm ent. The increase of interest in clec trical matters is remarkable. A London publisher is selling 1000 copies a month of a new work on electricity. A singular occerrence. strimkig ly showin;g the powerful effec:t of ice in rending i-ock,;, was lately related by Herr Bergh. An ex tensive promontory in Western Norway was, in 1717, deluged with wnter during a thaw, filling every crevice in the rock. A severe cold quickly followed, sud denly freezing the water and bursting the mass of rock, which was projected from a height of 1,500 feet into the neighborinig fjord, which engulfed the entire prounontory with its cultivated fields anid farmstead. The fall caused a huge wave in the tjord, whieb not only swept away all the fishing boats within a distance of two miles and a half but also carried away a churebh whicb had stood fifty feet above the water a mile away from the promontory. Of the latter only a low ledge now remains. The latest publications of Aus tralian statistics show that the deathrate of the continent is re markably low, being only 14 in 1000 in 1880. The English rate for the same year was over 20 per 1000. A wealthy Paris banker, Ml. BichoffsLeim, has undertaken the expense of an expedition to Africa to observe the total solar eclipse of May 17.

I It takes a great man to do a little thing sometimes. . Who do you think invented that very simple thing 'called a f wheelbarrow ? Why, no less a e man th%n Leonardo da Vinci. And who was he? , He was a musician, poet, pain ter, architect, sculptor, physiolo n gist, engineer, natural historian, j botanist, and inventor, all in one. He wasn't a 'jack at all trades and master of none,' either. He was a o real master of many arts, and a e practical worker, besides. d When did he live ? u Somewhere about the time that e Columbus discovered America. -And where was he born ? f In tbe beautiful city of Florence, in Italy. t Perhaps some of you may feel a t little better acquainted with him when I tell you that it was Leon-. s ardo-da Vinci who painted one of ~ the grandest pictures in the . world- 'The Last. Supper'-a pie tare that bas been copied many . imes and engraved in several styles, so that almost every one has an idea of the arrangement and position at the table of the Sfigures of our Lord and his dis geiples; though I am told that ewithout seeing the painting itself no one can form a notion of how Sgrand and beautiful it is. And only to think of the thou sands of poor, hard-working Americans who really own, in 1their wheelbar-ow, an original 'work' of Leonardo da Vinci I [St. Nicholas. itA coolness has arisen between Mr. d and Mrs. Fitznoodle, one of the most e respectable families in Austin.

The printer sets while ad stands while setting. The printer is not usuallyaw erson, but generally has a SuP14 wo about him. He sometimes does very poor i4k at all his work, good or bad i ifiable. The printer does not often ane, but you will almost alwa iim with a stick in his band. imes he is a stick himself. The printer is a materialist [is thoughts are upon matter. Most men like to have things ut square at the end ofeacMa ut the printer hates to beob. ring his work out even. This dd, but is even so. Though correcting his errors ay, the printer may all the tiMb rowing worse. Though a perfect Jack Sprat#in 1 ozsdness for lean meat, the - ever objects to fat. He is often a profound rea, 1ways dislikes solid matter. The printer is like the actorn act that he hates tosee ahe rray of empty boxes. The printer may not be aerse oetry, but he detests pi. The good printer is known T I urm. So careful is he of his* hat he always locks it up. Though not always eorreOe irinter's work is invariably done ule. The printer is a very inoffensie l lividual, but is quite clever wit hooting stick. The printer is not satisfie hinking that his work is, ie always wants a proof of it. The printer is your true man etters, though he may not be rary man. The printer is an upright man ke is- frequently seen about the eys. ue ob The printer used to be a very bsi. al sort of fellow, but now that nales are employed in printing, ie will tet up with a girl six i week, and he goes to press:. lay. The types of the human.rac 0 cattered Al1 over the earth, and the-# rinter distributes his types in al irections. The printer is not necessadily ~ porting character, but his form may. -equently be seen.in the chase. The printer is often beside hisef hat is to say, he frequently a ens~ eside his frame. Like the lawyer, the printer is de~ endent upon his cases for a livefli wood. When a printer has finished his ob, he works it off.
