A WILD ROSE.
-BY ALFKED AUSTIN.;
The first wild rose in a wayside hedge
This year I wandering see, ;
I pluck and send it as a ple&gef ?3 S
My own Wild Rose to thee. - -
For when my gaze first felt thy gaze, ;
We were knee deep ia June;
The nights were oidy dreamier. days,
, And all the hours in tune. ,
I found, thee like the elegantine,
Sweet; simple and apart,
And from that hour thy smile hath been
- The flower that scents my heart. : "
And ever now when June doth grace
Fresh copse or weathered bole
With roses, stright I see thy face,
And gaze into thy soulT .
A natural bud of love thou art,
AVheie, bending down, I view,
Deep-hidden in thy fragrant heart,
A drop of heavenly dew. .
Go, wild rose, to my Wild Rose dear ;
fid her come swift and soon,
O, would that She were always here
It then were always June.

: An xntcreitirig calculation has
been lately made by I'rof.Rners,
of Vashington. Ho twlls ua that
the dynamic power of a pound of
good stefrra coal is equivalent to
the work of a man" for one din;
threo ions "of the same coal will
represent a man's labor for ttTenty
years," an'd one fiqunrb mtle of a
seam J of 'coal haviiig a depth of

much work ai 1,000,000 men can
perform in twenty )Cara. Such
