June 18, 1873 18 ly POETRY. AT THE THEATRE. We stood by the river together, And bent o'er the water's side; And we watched the play of the moonliglj That glittered adown the tide. My dream of life was beginning? For my dream of love had begun; And the v orld wan a garden of roses, 1 plucking them one by one. She was the daintiest creature! That stoud in the moonlight there, With lace on her rounded shoulders, And a purple gleam in her hair. And we built the airiest castles, 'And whispered the usual things; In short, 'twos the same old story? ? The vows and the changing of rings. * * * * # * ? Rut many a night when musing Alone in my bachelor's chair, I have thought of the lace and the should*! And the purple gleaming hair. And a memory wakens within me, From out of the long ago; The Jew deep sobbing and ripple Ofthat river's ebbing and llow. I lush ! there's the manic beginning: Yes, nhe married?a hroker'in stocks; And?look at that stout old party? That's she?in the opposite box! AUNT SARAH'S GHOST. "It's all very well to laugh at ghosl and spirits," said Aant .Sarah, lookinj solemnly at us, "hut, my dears, there ai more things in this world than you kuo| of." 'That's from Shnkesparc, Aunt Sarah] ?'Suppose it is?" replied the old huh adjusting her cup; "it's true, nevcrthtj less." 'I 'a "Oh, u\s (piilc true; but did you eve] [-really .<ee.H gho&t V" we. asked, all nnxictj to hear her strange experience. "I've seen a ghost," answered Aunl Sarah, ?lowly, "just as plninly a? I set[ you now." "Oh, how dreadful!" wc all exclaimed "Tell us about it, Aunt Sarah." And w< drew ours chairs closer around the table and wondered if Thomas wasn't eomini sonn in light the gas. Aunt Sarah smiled upon us with th conscious superiority ofwisdom, but, well] pleased to be the center of so attractive circle, put aside her knitting and com menced as follows: 'A great many years riga I was stay ing, with a number of other guests, at a friend's house in the country. Among the various people, old and young, who were gathered there, was a maiden lady of rather mature age ; in fact, she ought long ago to have taken her degree as a confirmed old maid; Some people so dread the approach of ago that they cling to tho semblance of youth almost with the tenacity of dispair. MissBiglow ?that was her name;?was one of this kind ; and so, by the aid of paints, powder and false hair, she really made herself look twenty years younger than what we knew to bo her actual age. It was even whispered that her cheeks owed their veeming plumpness to some mysterious cause hot attributable to nature. JNuw, girls, said said Aunt Sarah, pausing for a moment, and looking sternly upon us, "I hate this deception, and hope none of you paint, or powder, or wear false hair." "Goodness, Aunt Sarah 1 You don't think wc wear false hair, do you?" cried Bessie Gray, putting up her band to as certain if her chignon was in its right place. "I am sure I don't know, my dear, but I hope not. Woll, one day an elderly gentleman arrived at the house, intend ing to spend a week in fishing, hunting, or idling about, as most of us were doing. This gcntlcmau wns vory rich, and avow edly looking for a wife. Under these circumstances it is not surprising that he at* once became tho lion cf tho day. "Tbc eveuing on which be arrived saw Miss Biglow painted and powdered to the verge of distraction?wherever thnt may be?and looking, to an unpractised eye, almost girlish. "It was really wonderful, my dears, to sec how tho eligible bachelor?Mr. Good man?took to her Jrom tho first. We really became afraid that she would carry off a prize for which so many blush ing young ladies bad angled in vaiu. I tic's, and I need scarcely tell you thafl H they entered with delight into our plotH I against the unfortunate Miss Biglow. "Next dav we dressed ourselves nsl H plainly as possible, not caring to ruin ourH H best things by our contemplated duckingfl I in the hike. Everything went on as wclll I as could bo wished, and we pushed out! I gently from the shore, with our unsus-l I pecting victim on board. We had egrecdH I to row along the shore to a place whcrcM I wc girls so me times went in bathing, andH I then, at a given signal, manage to upsetl I the boat. "Mr. Goodman was whispering somcH I soft nonsense into Miss Biglow's ear, ? I when Henry Edmonds gave the prccon-9 I ccrtcd signal, and we all headed over atl ? once to pick a water-lily. Over went Ihofl I boat, and iu an instant everybody was H B floundering about in three feet of water.? I A terrific scream from Miss Biglow, some I 1 violent splashing and trembling on the I I part of Mr, Goodman, and then we eaw I I him rescue her bodily from the water,and I I carry her triumphantly to the shore. II "We followed without delay, unit found I Mr. Goodman sitting on the bank; gazing il I in direst dismay at the object he had so I I gallantly carried to shore. Poor Miss I I Biglow did not look prepossessing; and I I the two rude young cousins of Gertie's J I burst oiit laughing when they saw her, I I which was very unkind aud thoughtless I of them." "Did you laugh, Aunt Sarah?" wo II asked. "Well, my dears, laughing is very con I tagious, and I could not help joining in. H Sho sat on a stone, looking, as that I naughty Gertie said, just like and ancient I mermaid, just risen from the sen. In the I struggle her hat had como off, taking I with it the wealth of hair which lutd I been Mr. Goodman's especial delight. In I its place was a tight little knot with a I wiry wisp of hair stretching out at right I angles, and asserting itself in a most ob I trusivo manner. But her face rcprcsont I cd the most astonishing change, for.tho paint had hcen washed in stripes ?ed I patches, and the cheek which hatVreste ipon her cavalier's 'shoulders was. quii u 'yi' white, while' tho other was a stripy re Vi;, I color, very peculiar indeed.

Un der no pretence will he leave-her, and why? Ah, lie is waiting and listening for the last whisper! As stye, speaks her words echo and re-echo through the chambers of his soul, and remain there throughout the mystic future. As a young lady reads over the list of the slain in battle, and her weeping eyes rest upon the name of her lover, almost her first thought is, "did he leave ine a dying message?" The sweet sister of a shipwrecked brother impatiently awaits the arrival of some one rescuad from the wreck, to learn if her brother, as he was swept be neath the dark waves, sent her a dying word. Xes, dying words are thoso most sought after and cherished by the human heart. Amid all the cares and disap pointments that may surround us in life, we never can forget the lost faint whis perings of the dying. A Hbppy Home.?Some discouraged wives fancy they do nothing worthy when they only make a good and happy home. For such we quote the following paragraph from an exchange: "It takes n. good deal of brains to . keep house, to make a home, even if you don't do the manucl labor. The woman who makes a perfect one puts into tho work proba bly enough talent to have mado a for tune. But if she prefers the latter re sult; she had best not marry. She may bo able to do other things better, more profitably, but' very few of us in this world get into just tlic' place or hove just the work we want. There is no tonic better than the consciousness that flho amounts to something. But wc arc sorry for tho woman who thinks sho does not because she only keeps house." A Georgia negro was riding a mule, vhen he en me to n bridge, and the mule topped. "I'll bot you n quarter," said Jam bo, "I'll make you go ober dis >ridgo," and witli that struck the mule ver tho head which made him nod sod enly. "You take the bet, den?" said lio negro, and contrived to get tho mule vet tho bridge. ' I want dnt quarter, nyhow," cried Sambo. "But how will ou get the money?" asked dliiau, who ad been close by, unpercoived. "To iovro\v," replied Sambo, "massn gib me dollar to get corn for the mule, and I ike the quarter out."
