The May Queen.
- ! adapted to a backward season.
If you're -waking, call me early, call mo

And see that 'toy room is warm, mother,
OA and the Are is burning clear;
And tallow my hose' onco more, mother,

For Fin to bo Queen o' tho May, mother;
I'm to bo Queen o' the May.
It froze so . hard last night, mother, that
really I couldn't, break
The ice in my littlq'.pitcher, mother,-till
I thonght.tho*r>?kor.io take;
YouirSn'd it there on the'earth, mother?;
but, oh! let'that' hot brick stay,
For I'm to be Queen 0' the. May, Mother,
I'm to be Qneen o* the May.
I shall put on my aqiia-scutein outside
,. of my, peal-skin coat, . ,' V;
And two* or three yards of flannel,dear,
'"' wi^l go around my throat;
Ahd you'll see that tho boneset tea, mo?

Fjr I'm to be Queen o' the May, mother,
I'm to be Queen o' the May.
Little Eflie Bhall go with me, if her nose
I j is fit to be seen;
And you snail be there, too, dear mother,
to soe mo made tho Queen.
Provided tho doctor'll let you; and if it
i .don't rain instead, ? ' ' ;
Li(tlo Johnny is to take mo part of tho
^ .way on his sled. \
So; if you're waking, call mc early, call

For to-morrow may be tho chilliest day

For to-day is the thirtieth, mother, and

If sho ain't an April Fool, mother, in?
stead of a Queen o' the May. '

Onion* of" thb God Hymes.-^
Danchet, the .French poet, tell us;
rejecting tho deification of Hy?
men, that he was a young man of
Athens, obscurely bom, but very
handsome. Falling in love -with a
young lady of distinction, he dis?
guised himself in a female habit, in
or'der'to get access to her and 'en?
joy the pleasure of her company.
As he happened to be pne day in
this disguise with his mistress and
her female companions, celebrating
on the seashore the rites of Ceres
Elousina, a gang of pirates came
npon them by surpriso and carried
them all off. The pirates, having
cotiveyed them to a distant island,
got "drunk for joy, and fell asleep.
Hymen seized his opportunity,
armed the virgius, and despatched
the pirates; after which, leaving
tho ladies on the island,'ho went
in haste to Athens, where he told
his adventure to all the parents,
and demanded her he loved in
marriage aa his ransom. His re
qnest was granted, and so for?
tunate was tho marriage, that the
name of Hymen was ever after?
wards invoked in all future nup?
tials, and in progress of time the
Greeks enrolled him among their
gods.

How to Break off Bad Hunts.
Understand the reason, and all the
reason, why tho habit is injurious.
Study the subject until there is no
lingering doubt in your mind.
Avoid the places, the persons,. and
the thoughts that lead to the
temptation., Frequent tho places,
associate with the persons, indulge
in tho thoughts that lead away
froh) temptation: Keep buBy; idle?
ness is'the strength pi bad habits.
Do not give,up the struggle when
you* have broken your resolution
once, twice?a thousand times.
Tb,at only shows how much there
is- lor you to strive. "When you
have broken your resolutions just
think the matter over, and endea?
vor to understand why it is you
. failed, so that you may be on your
guard against a recurrence of the
same circumstances. Do not think
it im an easy thing that you have
undertaken. It iti folly to expect
to break off a bad habit in a day
which may have been gathering
long years."
If Gerttgo/Washington himself
had ouhr* peon 'qrossrexamined by
Judge Fallortou before he died,
wo baVo no doubt it would have
turned Out that be really lied about

' l'M^ff?rfc-NV^atia^oJa the,,Me?
thodist Conference in Pennsylvania
last week, to effect a change in the
?ystem of itinerancy, several large
and influential. congregations ipro
toati^g that they^, would not i he
compelled 16 part with pastors who
had grown near nnd dear to them
in years of faithful service. They |
referred to instances within the
limits of the Conference where I
clergymen in other Christian sects
had remained in charge of the
samo congregation thirty, forty,
and even fifty years, and urged]
that no charm of novelty, no ad?
vantages of learning or eloquence
could equal in weight of influence
the trust repoBed by the flock in a
man who had held thorn in his
arms as children, had.married them,
offored their little ones to God's
service, and buried their dead.
The quostion was simply debated,
but the old fashioned Methodists
predilections for the itinerant sys?
tem were too strong for any inno?
vations, and so the Conference
decided to make no utterance that
could be construed in favor of a
change.
Wo read in the Bitylc, in the 13th
chapter of 1st Samual and 19th
verse, that "Thero was no smiths
found throughout the land of
Israel." Of course not. All the
Smiths were living in this country
at that time, and they havo won?
derfully increased and multiplied
since then.
#
A clergyman in one of oxir East?
ern cities was met by a seedy-look?
ing man with a flask of whiskey in
his pocket, who inquired: "Sir, is
this the nearest road to the alms
house?" "No sir," replied tho
clergyman, pointing to the bottle;
"but that iB."
Garibaldi wore tho traditional
co8tome when he was sworn in the
Italian Parliament?a . red shirt,
wl?te mantle and bluo cap, em?
broidered with gold. "When he an?
swered in n clear voice, "Giuro,"|
("I swear,") there was a burst of
applauso and cries of bravo.
One of Brigham Young's wives
told 1 urn tho other day, that when
she heard that the Sultan of Tur?
key had 700 wives, she felt morti?
fied to tl?nk that her husband had
allowed an outlandish foreigner to
beat him so badly in that line.
There is wifely pride for yon.
A colored congregation in Day?
ton have decided to forgive their
clergyman for betting on three
card monto and losing $90 of festi?
val money. "We is all human, and
de game is werry exciting."
A Boston lady recently left a
sum of money, the interest of which
is used in providing the inmates of I
tho Home for old women and
Home for old men with a supply of I
tea.
A young lady while out walking
heard, for tho first time, her mo?
ther's intention to many again,
and she was obliged to sit down
and cry about it. She could not
go a step-farther.
"No cotin appuls in school ours,"
reads a sign on the black-bosrd of
a school-honso in. enlightened old
Massachusetts, where education is
suppossed to sit on the top rail and
make faces at ignorance.
