' Deep as the midnight heayen," she said.
The rich rose mantling in her cheek, r

Pausing; upon- life's height, subdued,
" Yet trhnaiphing, both, proud and meek.
And white as wjntcr-fstarvintense .

Client toward her with an eager gracc;
Pale with a rapture, half suspense. -

He cried, and kissed the purple flower,
And bowed by love's resistless power;
Trembling he sank before her feet,
She crowned bis beautiful bowed bead
With '-one caress of her white hand ;
"Rise up, my fiower of all the land,
For all my thoughts are yours,'- she said.

A sea captain, recently arrived at
San Francisco from New Orleans,
exhibited an Irish setter dog, to
whom he accredits one of the most
remarkable exploits in canine intel
ligence. The dog was the property
of the first mate, and was early noted
for extraordinary sagacity. When
the sailors took hold of the main
brace to haul it in, the dog imme
diately seized the end ran the length
of the deck with it, as if "lending a
hand" to get the otlicer's order exe
cuted. A" planter took a fancy to
the dog, and prevailed on the first
mate to present the animal to him.
He carried it along with him GOO
miles up the Mississippi River, and
endeavored to show the setter even
kindness. But one night the dog
escaped, and running along the river
bend leaped aboard a boat, and was
towed back to New Orleans. But
the ship had sailed, and a schooner
captain, :nto whose hands the setter
fell, took it with him to New York.
The ship from which the dog was
taken was lying on the other side of
the river, and here is where the
marvel comes in. The dog, while
looking over the side of the vessel
one afternoon, sqemed to take spe
cial notice of the ship on the other
side. After a few mements itHeaped
overboard, swam to its old home,
and was taken aboard by the delight
ed sailor.
