SOFTLY WOO AWAY UER
I BREATH.
By Harry Cornicall
Softly woo away her breath,
., Gentle tleath !
Xet her leave thee with no strife,
Tender, mounitul, murmuiing life !
She hath seen her happy day
She hath had her bed and blossom;
Now she pales and sinks away, I
Earth, into toy gentle bosom, ; -
6hehath done her bidding here,
Angels dear I
Bear her perfect soul above,
Seraph of the skies sweet love !
Oood she was, and fair in youth;
Aud her-mind was feeen to soar,
And her heart was wed to truth;
Take her, then foi evermore
For ever evermore !
GETTING THE CREAM OF KNOWL-
... EDGE. '
A Boston Girl's Ikstructive
r ckiption of Science.
Des-
Biooklyu Argus. " '
A few days ago a Boston girl who
bad been attending the School of
Philosophy at Concord arrived in
Brooklyn on a visit to a seminary
chum. After canvassing thorough
ly the fun and gum drops that made
no their education in tho seat of
earning at which their early scholas
tic efforts were made, the Brooklyn
girl: began to inquire Into the nature
of tue Concord entertainment.
"And so you are taking lessons in
Philosophy. How do you like it 1"
"Oh! it's perfertly lovely. It's
about science, you know, and we all
just dote on science."
"It must be nice. What is it about?"
"It's about molecules as much as
anything else, and molecules are.just
too j awfully nice for anything.
If
Tell me . abeut them,
What are molecules ?"
my dear
"Oh ! moleculas ! They are little
wee things, and it takes ever so ma
ny of them. They are spiendid things!
Do you know there ain't anything
bu; what's got molecules in it. And
Mr. Cook is just as sweet as he tan
be, and JIr. Emerson, too. They ex
plain everything beautifully."
"How I'd like to 30 there," said
- ho Brooklyn girl enviously. j
YonM enjoy it ever so much.
They teach protoplasm, too; and, if
there is one thing perfectly heaven
ly, it's protoplasm. ' I really don't
know which I like best, -protoplasm
or moleculej," f
"lell me about pretopUsm. I
know I should adore it."
"'Deed you would, ' It's just too
sweet to live. You know it's about
how things get started, or something
of that kind. You ought to hear Mr.
EmersonUell about it. It would stir
your very soul. The first time he
explained about , protoplasm there
wasn't a dry eye in the house. We
named our hats after him. This is
an Emerson hat. You bee the rib
bon j is drawn over the crown- and
caught with a buckle and a bunch of
flowers. Then you turn up the side
with a spray of forget-me-nots. Aia't
it just too Bwect? AH the girls in
the school have them."
i "How exquisitely lovely ! 2h ne
BomemoreUcience."---
- "Oh ! I lal most forgot about diffe
rentiation. I am really and trulvl
positively in love with difierentta
tioni It's different from molecules
and protoplasms, but it's every bit as
nice. And Mr. Cook ! you should
hear him go on about it ! I really
believe he's perfectly bound op in it.
This scarf is the Cook scarf. All the
girls wear them, and we named them
after him just on account of the in
terest he takes in differentiation."
"What is it, any way V
"This is mull trimmed with Lan
guedoc laceM- -
"I don't mean that that other.
0h ! diTerentiation? ain't it sweet?
It's got sobethiBg to do with cpeci'es.
Awa me. way you tea one i bat Irom
another, so you'll know which is be
coming. Jnd we learn all about as-
ctdians, too. They are the divinest
things! I'm absolutely enraptured
with ascidians. If I only bad an as-
cidian of my own I wouldn't ask any-
tmng else m tne world.'
"What do they look like, dear?
Did you ever see bno " asked the
Brooklyn girl, deeply interested.

CTBSDAT, NOV 13
"Oh I no; nobody ever saw one ex
cept Mr. Cook and Mr. Emerson, but
they, are something like an oyster
with a reticule hung on its belt. A
think thuy are just heavenly.'
"Do vou learn anything else be
side all these ?'
"Oh J yes, We learn about com
mon philosophy and logic, and those
common things like metaphysics, but
the girls don t care anything about
thos4 - We are just in ecstacies over
differentiations and molecules, and
Mr. Cook and protoplasms, and as-,
cidians and Mr. Emerson, and I re
ally don't see why they put in those
vulgar branches., If anybody beside
Mr. Cook and Mr. JEJmerson had done
it we should-' hare told him to his face
that he was too terribly awfully
mean." 4nd the Brooklyn girl went
to bed that night in the dumps and
