UNDER THE VIOLETS. 5 Her bands are cold ; her face is white ; No more her pulses come and go ; Her eyea are shut to life and light Fold the white vestures, snow pn snow, And lay her where the violets grow. Bnt not beneath a graven stone, To plead for tears with alien eyes ; A slender cross of wood alone Shidl say that here a maiden lies In space beneath the peaceful skies, And gray bid trees of hngest limb, Shall wheel their circling shadows round. To make the scorching sunlight dim, That drinks the greenness from the ground And drop their dead leaves on her mound. When o'er their boughs the squirrels run. And through their leaves the robins call. And ripening in the Autumn sun The acorn and the chestnnt fall. Doubt not that she will heed them all. To her the morning choir shall sing Its matin 8 from the branches high, And every minstrel-voice of Spring That trills beneath the April-sky, Shall greet her with its earliest cry. When, turning round their dial-track, Eastward the lengthening shadows pass. Her little mourners clad in black. The crickets sliding through the grass. Shall pipe for her an evening mass. At last the rootlets of the trees. Shall find the prison where she lies. And bear the buried dust they seize In leaves and blossoms to the skies. So may the soul that warmed it rise. If any, born of kindlier blood, Should ask what maiden lies below, Say only this : A tender bud, That tried to blossom in the snow. Lies withered where the violets grow. The (Engineers Story. Yes, sir. I do believe In ghosts. Why? Well, sir, because I saw one once. Tel you about it? Well, sir, I will, if you'l set down an' listen. 'Tuint very much to tell, but it was a good deal to see, you can just bet your life, an' I never go by the placcwhere I see it without -feehn kind o scary. Lem' me see. 'Twas in '60. I was jist beginhin my work on this road that year. I'd been on a road out West, but a friend arot me the position here that I've kep' ever sence. It was a rainy, disagreeable day when the affair ( I'm goin' to tell you about happened. Jest one o' them days that makes a feller feel blue in spite of him self, an' he can't tell why, neither 'less he lays it all to the weather. I dont know what made me feel so but it seemed as if there was danger ahead ever after we left Wood's Station. An' what made it seem so curious was that the feelin' of danger come on me all to once. It wras jest about 4 o'clock, as near as- I can tell. Anyway jest about the time when the down express must have got Bafely by the place where what I'm goin' to tell you abouthappen- ed, I was a-standin with one hand on a a lever, a-lookin' ahead through the drizzlin' rain, feelin' chilly an' kinder downhearted, as I've said, though I didn't know why, when; all of a sud den, the idea come to me that some- thin' was wrong somewhere. It took hold o' me an' I couldn't git red of it, nohow. I knew that all was rightabout the engine. But that feelin' that there was danger ahead never let up once after it got into my head. Queer, wasn't it? But 'twas so. I couldn't account for it after I'd found out there was danger, jest as I'd felt, an' I haint never been able to account for it sence. It got dark quite early, on account o' the fog an' the rain; it was dark as pitch afore we left Holbrook, which was the last station we passed afore we come to the place where I see the ghost. "I never felt so queer in my life afore," said Jimmy, the fireman, to me all of a sudden.. As I was feelin queer myself, he kin der startled me, a say in' what he did. "Why! What d'ye mean?" said I without lettin' on that I felt uneasy myself. I "Do' know," answered Jimmy; "can't tell how I do feel, on'y as H suthin' was goin to happen." That was just it I I felt the same thing, an' I tole him so, an' we talked nbout it, 'til we both got real fidgety. There's a purty sharp curve about twenty miles from Holbrook. The road makes a turn 'round a mountain, an' the river runs below ye, about forty foot or gech a matter. It's a pokerish look- in place when you happen to be goin' over it an' think what 'ud be if the train should pitch over the bluff inter the river. ': '- , Wall, we got to the foot o' the moun tain just where the curve begins. The light from! the head-lamp lit up the track and made it bright as day, about as fur as from me to the fence yonder, ahead o' the engine. Outside o that spot all was dark, as you ever see it, I'll bet. ' All to once I see suthin right ahead, n the bright light. We allers run slow round this curve, so I could see distinct. My hair riz right up, I tell ye, fer what I see wa3 a man a-standin right in the middle o' the track, a-wavin' his hands; an' I grabbed hold o' the lever an' whistled down brakes, an stopped the traih as fast as ever I could, fer ye see I thought 'twas a live man.- An Jimmy he see it too. an' turned 'round to me with an awful scart face, fer he thought sure he'd be run over. : But I began to see 'twan't any flesh-and-blood man'afore the train come to a stop, fer it seemed to glide right along over the track, keepin just about so fer ahead of us all the time. "My God ! it's a ghost," cried Jimmy agrabbin' me by the arm. "You can see right through him." ; An' we could ! Yes, sir, we could. When I come to notice it, the figger ahead of us was a kind of foggy-lookin' thing, and only half hid anything that was behind it. But it was just as. much like a man as you be, an' you'd a said the same thing if you'd a seen it. jTrte train stopped. !An then, sir, what d'jre think hap pened? Well, sir, that thing justgrew thinner an' thinner, till it seemed to blend right in with the fog(that was all around it, and the fust we knew 'twas gone! "It teas a ghost !" said Jimmy, in a whisper. I knew somethin was a goin' to happen, 'cause I felt so queer like." They come a crowdin' up to find why I'd stopped the train, an' I swear I never felt so kind o' queer an' foolish as I did when I told 'em what I'd seen 'cause I knew they didn't b'leeve in ghosts, most likely, an' they'd think I was drunk or crazy. lle see it, too," sez 1, a pointiii' to Jimmy. "Yes, 'fore God, I did," sez Jimmy, as solemn as if he was a witness on the stand. - "This is a pretty how-d'ye-do,", sez the conductor, who didn't b'leeve w'ed seen anything. "I'm surprised at you, T . 1J J uonnen ; l tnougnt you was a man o sense." "1 thought so, too," sez I, "but J can't help what I see. If I was a dyin' this minnit I'd swear I see a man on the track, or leastwise the ghost was one. I thought 'twas a .real man when J whistled." "An' so would I," sez Jimmy. The conductor couldn't help scein that we was in earnest, an' b'lecyed what we said. "Take a lantern an' so alone: the track," sez he, to some o' the men, An' they did." An' what d'ye s'pose they found? Well sir, they found the rails all tore upjestat thespot where thetrain would a shot over the blun into the river if it had a gone on ! "Yes, sir; they found that, an' 1 tel you there was some pretty solem'-lookin faces when it got among the passengers how near we'd been to death. I never b'leeved in ghosts," sez the conductor, "but I b'leeved you see somethin', Oonnell, an' you've saved a precious lot o' lives. That's a sure thing." Well, sir, they went tohuntin' 'round an'; they found a lot o' tools an' things thait the men who'd tore up the rails hadj left iQ a hurry, when they found thei train wasn't goin' over the bluff as they'd expected. An' they found, too, when it come light, the body o' the man whose business it was to see to the a . -a I ! curve, where ltnaa Deen niuawayaner bein' murdered. An' that man was the man whose ghost we had seen. Yes, sir. He'd come . to warn us o the danger ahead after the men had kill ed him, an' was a waitin' for us to go over the rocks to destruction. An' he'd saved us. I found out afterward that there was a lot 'o money on board, an' I s'pose the men who tore up the track knew it. So that's my ghost story, an it's a true one, sir. Antiquity of Nursery Rhymes. Many of these productions have a very curious history, it it could j De only traced. Some of them probably owe their origin to names distinguished m our literature; as Oliver Goldsmith, for (instance, is believed in his earlier days to have written such compositions. Mr. E. F. Kimbault gives us the follow- particulars as to well-known favor ites: "Sing a Song of Sixpense" is as old as the sixteenth century. "Three Blind Mice" is found in a music book dated 1609. "The Frog and the Mouse" wasllicensed in 1680. "Three Children Sliding on the Ice" dates from 1633. "London Bridge is Broken Down" is of unfathomable antiquity. "Girls and Boyfr Come out to Play" is certainly as old is the reign of Charles II ; "Lucy LoclcefLost her Pocket," to -the tune of Which the Am erican song, " Yan kee Dooclle,' was written, and "Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat, Where Have You Been ?' are of the age of Queen Bess. "Little Jacli Horner," is older than the seven teenth century. "The Old Old Woman Tossed in a Blanket" is of the reign of James II., to which monarch it is sup posed to allude, i ! The Saw-Mill Man. lie was a person of deep thought, and U1S Knees snoolr a hf Ktncul Uffnre thA desk and explained : t-r . - -, aou see, i came down lor some machinery, and I had a little time to look around, and I drank a little beer and I suppose I was a little drunk." " Yes, you were. When the officer found you were standing before a tannery and crying out : Shend porter down ere t' cx;r'y up my trunk!' I supj pose you thought you were in Chicago.' s"I suppose so, and I'm very sorry. l own seven saw-mills up the shore." "The shore- of time ?" "No, 6ir- the lake shore can overlook this affair." I hopeyoii "Are your seven saw-mills painted red?" "They are not painted at all, sir." "Then I shall have to fine you five dollars Mr. Slab. I once made "a trip tkrongh the Saerinaw Valley, and I hadn't put in one day when I took a solemn vow to bear down on the first saw-mill man whom the boys ran in. j There wasn't a window curtain to be seen around any mill; not a pair of ln side blinds greeted the weary eye ; the front steps were dirty, the stairs had no railings, and just where a climbing ros0 ought co have been seen there was a nile of two-inch clank to knock sentii mcnt endways. If I ever own a saw! mill, sir, I'll show you the cosiest tidiest mill in the world, I'll have a pari lor on the south side, a library in the west end, a studio ajp stairs, and while the saws are chewing up the logs I'll be imbibing, knowledge and making my self familiar with the beautiful. The saw-mill man started out to smile contemptuously, but one glance from the court made him change it to a smile of approbation, and he carefully handed over five dollars and went out. After court adjourned Bijah care lessly approached the desk and in quired : j "Can your Honor tell me what a jig saw is?" "Yes sir, I can. It is a saw with teeth to it." "Haven't All saws got teeth?" ".No sir, they haven't." Bijah turned red, glanced around and asked : "What saws haven't?" "See-saws haven't." The janitor swallowed a lump In his throat, smiled in a sickly way, and as lie skuffed to the front he muttered : 1 " Never mind Its only a little whilej to the new Justice. I'll try and bear it for a few weeks longer." - j Malapropos. Charles Dickens once wrote to a friend: "I have distinguished myself in two respects lately. I took a young lady unknown down to dinner, and talked to her about the bishop of Dur-i ham's nepotism in the matter of Mr. Cheese. I found she was Mrs. Cheese.' And r I expatiated to the member forj Marleybone, Lord Fermoy generally i conceiving him to bean Irish member on the contemptible characters of the Marleybone representatives." Two such mishaps in one evening were I enough to reduce the most brilliant talker to the conditions of the three "insides" of the London bound coach, who beguiled the tedium of the journey from Southampton by discussing the demerits of William Cobbett, until one oi th0 party went so lar as to assert that the object of their denunciations was a domestic tyrant, given to beating his wife; when, much to his dismay, the j solitary lady passenger, who bad I hitherto sat a silent listener, remarked! 'Pardon me, sir; a kinder husband and father never breathed ; and I ought to know, for I am William Cobbett's wife!" Mr. Giles, of Virginia, aud Jude Duval, of Maryland, members of Con gress during Washington's administra tion, boarded at the house of a Mrs. Gibbon, whose daughters were well on. in years, and .remarkable for talkative- ness. When Jefferson became Presl- dent, Duval was Comptroller of the Treasury, and Giles a Senator. Meet- ing one day in Washington, they fell to chatting over old times, and the Senator asked the Comptroller if he knew what what had become of "that cackling old maid, Jenny Gibbon." "She is Mrs. Duval, sir," was the unexpected reply, f-ilfft did Tif. ottPmnHnmpnrl mntfers. as a certain JMr. .LuDerviile unwisely did. This unhappy blunderer re sembled the Irish gentleman who com plained that he con Id not open his mouth without putting his foot in it. Happening to observe to a fellow guest at Dunraven Castle that the lady who sat at bis right bandit dinner was the ugliest woman he had ever beheld, the person addressed expressed hl3 regret that he should think his wife ill look- ingi "l h8ve made a mistake" saiatne horrified Tuberville; "I meant the ady who sat on my left." "Well, sir, she is my sister." was the response to . - . m : . 1 the well intentloned fib, bringing from the desperate connoisseur of beauty the I frank avowal: "It cant be helped, I sir, then; for If what you say be true, I confess I never sawsnch an uelv familv I in tne nnnrao rf mv lifoT' An honest expression of opinion per haps not so easily forgiven by the Indi- viuuai concerned, was that wrung from Mark Twain, who, standing right before a young lady in a Parisian public garden, cried out to his friend : iJDan, just look at this girl; how beautiful she is!" to be rebuked by "this girl" ay- lng in excellent English : "I thank you more for the evident sincerity of the compliment, sir, than for the extra ordinary publicity you have given it!" Mark took a walk, but did not feel Just comfortable for some time afterward. une of the humorist's countrymen made a much more serious blunder. lie was a married man. Going into the kitchen one day, a pair soft hands were thrown over his eyes, a kiss was im printed on his cheek, lie returned the salute with interest, and as he gently disentangled the hands of his fair as sailant, asked : "Mary, darling, where is the mistress?" and found his answer in an indignant wife's face. "Marvt darling" had gone out for the day, and the lady of the house intended bv her anectionate greeting to give ner lord a 9 pleasant surprise. He got his surprise whether he thought it a pleasant one he never divulged, but that kitchen knew Mary no more. II . - - m AIter aolnS nis omce lor a young couple, a clergyman was inveigled into proposing the heahh of the bride and bridegroom at the wedding breakfast, He wound up a neat little speech by expressing the hope that the result of the union of the happy pair might nrove strictly analagous to that of the ride's honored parents. The groom looked angrv, the bride went into hysterics cs, the bridesmaids blushed and i Interested In the pattern of th3 I became camet. the master of the house blew his nose with extraordinary violence; and the speaker sat down wondering at the effort he had created, till his better informed neighbor whispered that the lady was not the daughter of the host and hostess, but a niece who came to live with them when her father and mother were divorced. When a note was handed to Dr. Fletcher In his pulpit intimating that the presence of a medical gentleman, supposed to be in the cnurch, was ursrentlv required elsewhere. the preacher read the letter out, and as the doctor was making for the doorfervent- lv ejaculated, "May the Lord have mercy on the patient!" An unpleasant way of putting the thing was Innocently adopted by the New York car-driver who, blissfully ignorant that his interlocutor was Mr. Beecher, replied to that gentleman's query whether he did not think it pos sible to dispense with running the cars all day on Sunday: "Yes, sir, I do; but there's no hope for it so long as they keep that Beecher theatre open in Brooklyn ; the cars have to run to ac comodate that." The Cuisine in Sweden. The habit of lunching in the .very presence of dinner, of going to a side table and eating your fill of anchovies raw herrings, smoked beef and cold eel me. while dinner is on the very table, still prevails, and is hardly conducive to health. It is said that the habit of taking a "sup," as tlieSwedes call it, arose from the scarcity of delicacies. It was hard to get enougn or any, one nice tiling to make a meal of, so you were first delicately innuendoed off to the brandy table, as it is called, and then allowed to sit down to dinner. The practice is universal in Sweden. Pri- vate houses, hotels, and hoarding houses all feed you on prelimiary scraps, and woe be to 'you if you innocently turn away from the proffered luncheon! You fare like an ascetic, and feed your self on odors. The ordinary routine of dining in Sweden seems to be in wild confusion. Soup sometimes ends in stead of beginning the dinner. Iced soups and cold fish are dainties to the Scandinavian palate. Much of the soup nauseously swect,flavored with cherries raspberries and gooseberries often with macaroon cakes and spikes of cinnamon floating wildly about in it. This is often as a sort of dessert, and is cold and often beautifully clear. If Heine bitterly reviled the English for bringing vege- tables on the table au naturel there is no SUCh COmDlaint tO De maUe nere; Heaven, earth and hell are eaten with sauce sauces red, white and blue, green, yellow and black sauces celes tial and sauces infernal. Strange com binations of ice cream heaped over delicious apple tarts, or strange dishes of berry.iuice boiled down and mixed with farina, sugar and almondf, .then cooled, moulded and. turned out into basins of cream, to be eaten with crush ed sugar and wine, appear at the end of dinner. The Swedes share with the Danes and Arabs a passionate fondness for sweetmeats. Everything is slightly sweet; even green peas are sugared, as well as the innumerable tea and coffee ti via ti buv a u u au r a vmv cake8f ,Q that long before the unhappy tourist has finished his tour he is a hope- less dyspeptic or a raging Swedophobe.

The unknown Is an ocean, and con. science is th compass of the unknown ; uiougnt, meditation and prayer are the grefeit mysterious pointings of the nee- die Bern men know the force of habit, a cobweb a t tread a twine a roDe a cable.

Man Is Only weak bv the digDroDor- tibri there jis between what he can and what lie is willing to do: the onlv wav he lias to Increase his strength is to re trench! many of his c'eslres. ' - A Chinese proverb savs. "Great souls have strong wills: others onlv feeble wishes" The! proverb might have added that gdod health makes the will stronp. whfjle feeble bodies weaken It. The sweetest life is to be p.vr mn.tno- sacruticles far Christ; the hardest life a umn can leau on eartn. and tho most full of I misery, is to be alwavs dolnir his own will, and seeking to please himself. ! I kijigionj like all other wholesome growths, loves the sunlight and the air. if We keep it in our cellars it will wither sand die. or else send un a sioilv arid colorless shoot, that will bear no health fruit. f The lawjmprln lawjmprinted on the hearts of all meni is to love the members of so- cieijf aS themselves.

If you are a wise man vou will treat the world as tie moon treats It. Show it only 0ne side of yourself, seldom show you; pelf too much at a time, and let what ! you! do show be calm, cool and polished. But look at every side of the world.
