If you lie with your ear to the soft green earth, Wnen tbe rain and the sunshine fall, v. You can hear the flowers, In their gay glad mirth. To each other whisper and calL For hush'd, like an Infant in sleep, they lie In their moist cool cells below. Aweary of hearing the wind's bleak sigh, And the falling of the snow. But when spring comes down to the earth, and her feet " ' Send a thrill through woodland and plain. And the clouds weep tears that are soft and sweet, But which we miscall the rain. . . Then they waken up with a light la their look, And In low sweet whispers they cry "Sisters, a murmur Is heard tat the brook, And sunshine Is seen In the sky. "It Is time we should burst through the young green earth, - - . As the stars through the hearens by night. That the young ana the old may rejoice in our birth. f And we In the calm, sweet light" Then one said; "Sisters, where shall we gtax? I shall ktow by the side of the stream, - , And all day long I will blossom and blow, Till the dews fold me up In a dream." "And I," said another, "will bloom by the way Where the children go In a band; . . They will stop for a moment their gladsome play, And touch my lips with their hand." 'I will peep from the long rich grass," said one, ' "When the meadows bow to the wind, And will catch like dewdrops the fairy tone Of the music it leares behind." "Aid L" said one, in some garden rare, Where my fairer sisters abide; And it may be that I may be twined in the hair Of the maid as she blooms Into bride." - Then a sweeter voice held the rest In thrall ."O sisters, what things ye have said! I shall grow la the sweetest spot of all On the graves of . the calm, pure dead. "They will know that I blossom above their dust, -And wilt yearn; in their -silent abode, : . For the grand resurrection to crewn their trust In the love and the promise of God." Thus the flowers whisper, and If you lie When the rain and the sunshine fall, .

' iier lire is a very hard one. Sue must 4jetitip before day break on the cold, raWiOaornings of midwinter to take her dazioinr Aesson ; and again at midnight. wtien. the -opera is over, she has to find hear arcay OH foot through snow and rain to heriuoible lodgings at Montmartre or Batignollea. The idea of riding in an omnibus must not enter her head; for while tin the io west rank of her call itig she Jias .hut a franc a night, and even when grown up and promoted to the "seeonduadctfAe," she earns only 700 franca a year -or 28. Of such stern material are our entertainments made and .in the no department of public amusements is a more rigid economy practiced than in the salaries of dan cers. Advancement comes very slowly and there is a great deal of competition for every vacancy in the higher ranks of the profession. Even after the most, meritorious and indefatigable labors the native French girl constantly rinds herself eclipsed by Russian and Italian dancers. The hierarchy of" the dancing world is as narrow and as rigorous as the hierarchy of the army. It bristles with examinations, competitive strug gles and inspections. It is considered a, great thing to move up from the -'second quadrille" to the "first quadrille," from then the salary is raised to 1,000 francs, or 40, yearly, "be ing just enough, with frugal manage ment, to keep body and soul together. From the "first quadrille" to the second "coryphees" is a still more vigorous step forward, and was rewarded with .1,300 francs a year, or say just 1 a week. The next step upward is to the envied posi tion of "premiere coryphee" possessing the superb emolnments of 1,500 francs, or 60, a year. Finally, after years and years of patient study, the dancing girl attains the summit of her ambition, and rises into a "petit sujet," which gives her an .individuality before the foot lights. This giddy height of glory and pay, amounting to 1,600 francs, or, in exceptional cases, to 2,000 francs, a year, is the largest reward that dancing genius can expect under ordinary cir cumstances; for the Esslers andTaglio nis form" a class apart; Here and no further can a good dancing girl go, after a blameless youth passed in diligent capers at rehearsals and in public, Iiap- fily, there are prizes even in this queer ittle lottery. M. Halevy was one even ing seated in a private room of the late Nester Koqueplan, who was then direc tor of the opera in Paris. Boqueplan was Carelessly turning over some old papers when.he came upon a list of the ballet gfrl of 1838.

Gentlemen of refinement, taste and wealth are given to indulging, some particular fancy, mania or bbby to the fullest extent Some spend fortunes on fine pictures and bric-a-brac, some coir lect antique books, both old and new, while others invest largely in diamonds and other precious gems. And these are hung, cased and cherished, and ex hibited to. friends and admirers as treasures of the highest order, -; Bat the world is made of many inen otitnany minds. While works of ait are loved bjr some, they give back no affection in re turn to the: owner. : Mr.; Bobert i Bon ner, the widely-known connoisseur, has an expensive but! humane fancy for horses. They are not only lovable, but loving, and give affection in return for the tender care and admiration bestow ed upon them. No gejatlemenin Amer ica possesses this extravagant taste and gratifies it so royally as Mr. Bonner. Not withstanding he already owns over twenty of the most valuable and best known horses in the country, he is con tinually making additions to the col lection whenever he comes; npon One that strikes his fancy. Not one is ever, under any circumstances, permitted to. run upon a public track, but, are only driven for the pleasure and amusement of the owner, who derives no benefit, other than enjoyment. Dexter the old est of the animals, was twenty-two years old last May, and although he still retains his . great beauty, ; has lost his good disposition, for he is awfully cross and curls his haughty lip and shakes his aristocratic head most significantly at strangers. . He is driven twice or three times each week, and is as fast as when he was purchased for $83,000. liar us is as well known as Dexter, and with Music, a beautiful chestnut, make a team often UBed by Mr. Bonner before a plain black top-wagon, with red run ning gear. Edwin Forrest cost, well nigh on to $40,000, and makes remark able time. ; Lately he trotted a rnile in 2.17K before a heavy wagon of two hundred and seventy pounds weight when driven by his owner. Major Morton is a suberb bright bay, hand some, rapid and valuable. May Bird is a shapely creature, as black as a crow, but as graceful as the. bird is awkward, and travels as well under saddle as in harness. Molsey is another beauty bay, with black mane, tail and feet, and sort gentle eyes, which are very attrac tive. Grafton is a 2,15 trotter, and, like Joe Elliot, is as high-priced as fast. Pocahontas is known , far and wide. Elsey Venner and 1 1ucy Colyer are wonderful travellers, with fine records, and are valued away up in the thou sands. Maude Macy is a recent addi tion to the stables, and is a gem in ev ery sense. Emma B., named for Mr. Bonner's only living daughter, is "too darling for anything." She is a light chestnut, with a satin coat, the trim mest feet and legs, the prettiest ears', the mildest, most intelligent eyes, and the carriage of a handsome woman. She is used in harness or with saddle, and is one of the particular pets. Making' History. Not long since a correspondent of the New York Mail gave an interesting account Of the history of theUuited States flag, in which account it was stated that the first stars and stripes ev er flung to the breeze were unfurled in the battle of Saratoga, September 2nd, 1777. The Rome Sentinel reminds th Mail that this is a mistake whic should be corrected, and that the garri son of Fort Stanwix, the present site of the city of Home, was the first to unfurl the star spangled banner. Pbmroy Jones's Annals iof Oneida -County," says that at the beginning of the siege of Fort Stanwix, August 3, 77, Colonel Gansevoort's garrison was without a flag. Military pride, indeed, every sense of propriety, would not allow them to dispense with an appendage so projer to a beleaguered fortress. Ne cessity being the mother of invention, shirts were cut up to form the white stripes, bits of scarlet cloth were joined for the red, and the blue ground for4 cne scars was composea or a camiet cloak, furnished by Captain Abraham Swartwout, of Poughkeepsie4 an officer of the garrison. This same camlet croak was' taken'. from 'a detachment of the British at Peekskill by Col. Marinus Willett, in the spring ot 1776, he being then in Command of the Third New York Regiment, to which Capt. Swart wout belonged. There is glory in the flag of our Union, and the honor of first unfurling it belongs to the gallant gar rison of Fort ' Stanwixy which ' fought under tha flag on; the 6th of August, 1.77.7 a day. the even ts.of which contri buted more to-the independence of the United States thatfis generally uhfler stood."" w .-I! ; Fat PnotogTspbfnjg-.'
