Wore you borne hither by the wind That rustles through the bowers, Or did the 1uneful nigltingalo That, flutters o'er I ho flowers Make you, poor rose, his prey? No, under the dancers' careless feet Fromi a robe at the ball you tumb>le, Pale enablemn of those liting flowers That like you, too, must crumble. Under their feet. they crush the bid, Until it dancer stoppin g Lifts and hurls it through the sash, Into the garden dropplng The rose J ust born to-day. But, t, who glean the bruised ear, Press to iy heart the vagrant. And search for sanet.hing 'neath its leaf Besides its odor fragrant. How often, there in heart beats' count, As you rest, on my bosom, A deathless dreani controls my thouigh ts, Poor, pale and laded blossom. TIlE P'ICTURI:. "Shan't go a step farther I" "Only just a little way -we sh;ll soonl e home now, and mother's waiting.'' "I lon't care. I've made up1) my mind that I've walked too far already, and I'in just going to sit downa nd rest; they muIst wait, and I shall do as I choose.'' "But father---" "Now don't you talk to me about 'buts,' Charlie, because I won't have it. I shall sit dowli here, and you can go and tell your mother not to wait-not to wait,'' the Imani repeated, raising his voice with the stupid anger of in toxication. Still, in spite of threat anid refusal, the child persisted in pleadimtr that hi. father should go lome; but his words only seemed to strengthen the inat's obstinacy, and all the boy could do was to get his father to turn aside from the high road into a field close by, where the man threw himself full at lengl i oi the glass, soiewhal under the shade of the hedge, and in a few mlinutes lie was sleeping heavily. whilst the child sat down at a little distance, with a strange kind of uinchildisli patience on his features. to wait until his fiather should wake. P'oor little Charlie ! lie knew too well how useless any attempt on his part would be -to rouse his father from that sort of sleep. liather iore than half an hour had passed in this dreary waiting, and Char lie was beginning to find all his small sources of amluseilent fail him. le had watched a large bee that kept hover ig over the convolvnlus blossoms inl the hedge, and, wondered if he had not nearly tinished his day's work ; had placed a snail out of harm's way, and had been tempted to chase a beautiful 1)aiiited butterfly that flitted past him - but i eegiu at Iat to lose n11 ilierest in bees and butterflies, for it was now tea-tiine, and Charlie was growing ter ribly hiugry. Still he did not think of (deserting his post, for no one. but the child himself knew how often he had kept his tipsy father off the country road when carts or carriages were coim ing along, Iior how he had managed to guide him ill safety over the narrow bridge that led across the river to their cottage. So Charlie sat there quietly, though he was growing more tired and hungry every moment, unt.il the sound of a whistle at a little distance attracted his attention, the sound gradually coining nearer and sounding inore distinct., tun til a yIoing ma11 :i jiiuiped over the stile at the end of the field and approached the child, who then knew him to be a gentleman le had oftetn let durilig the last few weeks, Soitetimes sketching, sometimes wanteiig aboit with his kinapsack on his back aind his plortflolio unider his atrml.

"lIiav'e youi hIad y'our tea, 1b0y ?'' lhe asked ats lie tunstap,ped his knlapsacek, and1( took otut a small paricel wrapped in "Mother will be surec to keep it for mel until I get, houle, siri,"' replied Char lie, too brave to coimplain tom a Siangern. "'That,'s all right,'' said Euistace, understanding and respectinlg the feel ing that dictated the aiiswer ; "mean while, I shall give you this piece of cake, jtist to pass5. the timei away. When 1 was a small boy, stray pieces of' cake niever p)rvenited me eating 'niy mueabla * when they came; so yotur mother's tenu wIll not be wvasted.

Very few danties fell to Charli share in those days, and l:ustace v% highly amused at. the mannuer in wili he ate his cake, nibbling it off arou the edge so as to niake it last as long possible ; and hle succeede(l so well tI the picture was ihnished almost at I samue timlle as the last, currallt disaplpe ed. "Well, was it good ?" asked Eusta as he tied his portfolio. "Yes; mother does not put currai in her cakes. Sometimes on our bir days, when father has not been out, have a cake ; but then we have no se in It.'' "And those are not so nice ?" "Oh, Io, sir, of course not I" al wored Charlie, irprised t,hat any u should ask suchl a question. "WeIll, I aun glad you like it.

Five years had passed before t young ar-tist had the time and Chance visit the quiet village again. .In til live years lhe had1( donel good work-h thought, and worked, and painted, un people had begun to believe i him, a talk of himii as one0 of'tile mlost pr1om lig painters of the day. Still, in the midst of it all, he oft remembered his little sketch, and w< might d1o good had come to pass ; and the day he traveled (low to Mortsto the menlory of the scene came clea1 before him with the thought of t grand ol words-"Cast thy bread up the waters, for thou shall find it aft mniny days."

It is a very ch graceful, abundant climber, ait som1e iul times festoons tree-triunks amd old as fences. At a distaiee it strongly ro lat seinbles the beautiful Virginia-creoper, he which is sometimes- blamed for sins not ir- Its owi. UBit the the two need never be confounded. '1'he poison-vine hears 3e its leaves in clusters of threes-the Vir ginia-creeper in clusters of lives. Witli its this simple rule in mind one(,- is always Ih- safe. But the poisol-vine, dreaded as we it universally is, is not equally poison pds ous to everybody. Some persons break out into a rash if even the wind from it blows upon them; others can go anmong 1s- it and handle it with impunity. As a ne rule, a light person Is instantly alffected by it, while a dark oneIl may escape 11n Liln harmed. 'o, The poison-vine belongs to the sumac in family. Other members of this family Lill being the white or lowlani suimac, )W soinetimes ealled poison-elder. '1'his will scarcely be found in the Park or in te the near neighborhood of Phihaelphia, he bult when sode may be recognized by its resemblance to the well-known red st 11111e, and by the cirelunstanlces of its is- growing i imaarshes. '1'he red sllunua, he however, against wich Solme hold a Ing strong prejudice, is not poisonous. Like ed the white, it is a low, spreading bush, tl with leaves renolely resembling ferns it and with singular, pyramid-shaped blos 'as -son1s, the clusters of one, of course, be a- ig red, the other white. led 511 Innae w1, generally inhabil s dry, sanady hills. It ce is, perhaps, 111o1 easily recognized ill en the autulnn than earlier, on acc,otunt of hIe its beait.iful red leaves, So elTe.tive in 11e decoration. lit Another very noxious swamp-planit is he the poison-hemnlock. This is a large, ce 'oarse 0lant, somewhat retsembllhlinlg par snips or wild carrots in blotinl. It bears umbels, or unibrell-shlaped blossoins. Sonie plants are poisollols only when eaten, not when inmerely toulched; but it e is much safer to let anlly suspected plant At alone. As a rlle, any lily-like plant is safe. oBut there is o11e otable exceptio toth is, m the ease of white hellebore. TIhis may be found inl somle low, daumip vooly, situations in the Park. Its bright. green stems are rather tall amd spread he ing, its leaves aire broad, long, bright to green 111d deeply veined like those of the beautiful white day-lily of our gar td lens; and it hears a spike of dark green ti blossoms about the size of a cent . and ld these are in foi-m perfect lilies.

It might be well to remembler that these grow on a coarse, scraggy plait. The respect able berries, however, are easily ldidentified.

A New York restaurateur says: The drive along the Schitylkill river above Phitlelplitia was mado famuous by the iieals of reed birds, catfish and waflles furnished at the few hotels that were locnted there in earlier days. In fact, these dishes contributed more than any other atency toward the great park of which Philadelphians can boast. 'T'hey attracted attentioit to that romantic quarter of the city, and when it was proposed to devote it to park purposes, t hero was no voice raised in opposition. Heed birds are not, in great demand here, except among those who really possess a taste for truly delicate foo(. Spring chicleu, broiled to a turin with a brown butter sauce, is the rage at presenlt. " 6What are your other delicacies?" "Well, we serve sweet-breads and lambs' fries in the meal, line, because they are costly '. The fruit season is now dawii nig, and, of course, strawber ries, cherries adti hot-house peaches are in (leIlandl.
