MY FIRST AND LAST DECLARA
TION, Or nr mA-( yourself a fool by courting
or loving a girl who thinks herstlf above you.
BY PIIII.O HENDERSON.
In a lone sequestered valley, by a singing
mountain stream.
Where the laurel bloometh gladly, in the
summer's Mailing beam.
Stood a riao embowered cottage, which
the laurel when in bloom.
Encircled with its blossoms fair, and filled
with rich perfume.
In it lived a nailing nuuden, a sweet maiden
young and ta:r,
With soft blue eyes and cherry lips, and
lock of golden hair.
And like the trembling aspen was her fair
angelic form.
Her face a bank of flowers with a golden
sun-set warm :
Divinely beautiful was she, that sweet flow
er of the vale,
Baxpaming all that e'er was dreamed or
told in fairy tale :
And round my heart her beauty threw a
deep and magic spell,
Like som. old win d enchantress of which
hoarv legends tell.
Twas nil a dewy evening, in that balmy
flowery time,
When the chestnut is in its blossom and in
bloom the mountain thyme.
That Mated 'mid the flowers by the laugh
ing, flowing river.
The maiden of the mountain fixed my des
tiny forever.
I told her that 1 loved her, as I ne'er had
loved before.
That I loved her so devotedly 1 never could
love more,
That all my earthly prospects, and lay
hopes of beaven too,
(Of the former I had many, of the Utef
but a few)
Depended n the answer that her murm'-
ring lips should give.
To my daring de claration, which I hoped
one would forgive.
I Baked h r if she loved inr, and .-he calmly
answered "No.
And laaghing lightly told me, that "she
ihoaghl I'd better go.'"
"Go where," 1 wildly answered her, "where
the d 1 can I go ?
"With my hopes ami prospects blighted, I
should really like to know."
"G where you please ; "then," I re-
pli d , "I'll go upon a ;..."
"Well, if you do," .-ho .-aid, "I guess you'll
' have to go on trust."
1 left her in ber glory, 'mid the flowers by
the stream.
To dance with mountain fairies, of their
golden gifts to dream.
And took my way all lonely, mortified and
full of pain,
Down to tho dusty level of the undis
tinguished plain.
Although we parted never more to meet
this side the grave,
.Still it rar.kJea deeply in my heart, that
last insult she gave.
And though long years have passed away,
I cannot all forget
The pretty, smiling, winning, sinniug.
heartless, rich coquette.
How tiik Dkvil Lost. The following
is too good to be lost. It conveys a moral
to those who feel disposed to spread it in the
new -paper line :
A young man who ardently desired
wealth, was rasited by his Satanic majesty,
who tempted him to promise his soul for
eternity, it' lie could be supplied on this
earth w ith all the money he could use. The
bargain was concluded the devil was to
apply the money, and was at last to have
the soul, unless the young man could spend
more money than the devil could furnish.
ears passed avay the man married, was
extravagant in his living, built palaces,
speculated widely lost and give away
fortunes, and yet his coffers were always
full. He turned politician, and bribed his
way to power and fame, without reducing
his4-pil.:"ofgold. He became a "filibuster,"
and fitted out ships and armies, but his
banker honored all Ins drafts. He went to
St. Paul to live, and paid the usual rates of
interest for ail the money he could borrow,
but though the devil made wry faces when
he came to pay bills, yet they were all
paid. One expedient after another failed
the devil counted the time, only two years
that he must wait for the soul, and mocked
the efforts of the despairing man. One
more trial was resolved upon the man
started a newspaper! The devil growled
at the bill at the end of the first quarter,
was savage in six mob t lis, melancholy in
nine, and broke, "dead broke," at the end
of the year. So the newspaper went down,
but the soul wassaved. Minnesota Paper.

Oil v?. Hydropathy. We have on
several occasions invited attention to the
ancient practice of anointing with oil, and
to the fact that oil makers and oil porters,
whose clothing is presumed to be more or
less oilv, are often singularly free from
contageo'us diseases which sweep off others.
An exchange takes up the same subject,
and remarks that,' in the East Indies,
children are rarely washed with water,
but thev are oiled every day. A child's
head can be kept much cleaner if oiled,
than without it; and many young people
with hectic cheeks would probably never
know the last days of consumption, if their
parents would insist on having their cheeks,
back, and limbs anointed with sweet oil
two or three times a week. The Hebrew
l'hvsician seemed to have considered oi
as more ctlieacious than any other remedy.
The sick were always anointed with oil, as
the most powerful means that was known
of checkin g disease. Scientific American.
