Between the orchard and the mill
The brooklet of its laughing tires:
Its waters there grew deep" and still
About the piers, pld and mossgrown
Beneath the little bridge of stone
- Clasped here and tbere, with wildrose
briers i . t - -' -
I '.vas a vain ycung country maid.
Each day at noon sent to the mil,
And used to loiter in t 'e shade, ': . .

Beyond tire wild rose creeping near,
; And peer into the phi cid rill. V
'Twas not the water lilies there, " "

One day I lingered, looking down,
, Long past the sunshine of mid-day,
When close -beside me, big and brown,
v: Two eyes, so full of laughter met
. My-own. within the rivulet,
My eyes drooped low and turned away.
You see, 'twas father's' harvester
"Our John,", we al ays called the lad;
Like to his own nvy parents Wore, i
- And I 1 canuot rightly tell "
. By what strange chance itc'erbefel
His coming made me always glad.
How shallow seemed the brooklet then
After the glance of eyes like his!
I slowly raised ray own jagain
And found him gazing slyly dowu
I never knew that eyes of brown
Were lull of such sweet mysteries!
For. looking up, how Oould I piiess
To find my imaged features there?
A mirror full of tenderness
His dark eyes made: the rivulef,
In all my loiteringst never yet.
. Had made me seem one-half so fair!
Hie wild rose blossoms all are dead;
And where the water lilies were,"
The brook sleeps in its froze n led.
Unheeded let t'le'winters pass;

happened this way: ;
. When Lieuteuant Melville and
his companions reached Wash
ington after their "rescuo thev
were given a reception by the
principal citizens of the Capital.
An escort met them at the depot
on their arrival, an d be aded by
the famous Marine Band that fur

Pennsylvania avenue. It was a
bright, sunny day and the wide

has enough; to make a suit of
clothes for the nian who will ex
hibit the horse. -Mr. Wyrnau
bought :r the animal from E. B:
Rhoder, f. planter and stock raiser
of Spartanburg, SC. . Tho horse
was bred ; by thoroughbred Ken
tucky horses aud is perfect in
form, 14 J hands high aud weighs
from 850 to 875 pounds. It ar
rived on the Gate City from ba-

effects of his sea voyage." The
covering ot the animal seem to

horse has ho foretop or mane

. MANNING'S MEMORY.
Ouo thiigrwhicli pave Mr.
Manning; an advantage over most
men waa hia wonderful memory.
One winter at Nassau a banker
from CheUen, Mass., - came into
the room,- saying ho - had just
found an 'old book containing a
piece he used to recite nt school.
Mr. Manning nsked to hear it,
and then to hear it a second time.
After tho second recital Mr. Man
ning said: "You do not repeat it
the same." Some little discus
sion tn?nng, Mr. Manning con
tinued, "I give yoa my word as n
man Pve never heard tho tiling
before, yet if Mr. Ulino will read
it twice aloud, Pi I wager you I
can repeat it better than von
Tho pice was read, and then
Mr. Manning repeated it with ab
solute correctness, syllable for
syllable.
"When , the banker expressed
some doubt about Maiming' not
having heard it before, tho latter
'cffered to repeat any piece that
the banker tninht chooo of the
same length, after it had been
rend threo times. Ai.d what i.
more, be ccconudished tho font.
Thi mental trait enabled Mr.
Manning to recall, almost verba
tim, at any time, reports, motion,
