THE CRESCENT MOO?f.
When this new moon is old,
And all the shadowy space
Her slender arms embrace
Hath been filled up with gold,
What fortune shall we trace 1
When this new moon is old?
Now crescent is her liht.
. And crescent the young leaves,
Wrhile May, the charmer, weave,
Through all the dim-lit night,
-And half-seen bloo'm deceives
Now crescent is her right!
When this new moon is old,
And clearer on our was
Hath bent her lamping rays,
What fate shall we behold,
. As face to face we gaze
Wr.en this new moon is old?
Now crescent is her light,
And still the violent blows,
The orchards hold their suows;
Sealed are the lillies white,
Undreamed of is the rose
Now crescent is her light! .
When this new moon- is old,
The lily then shall yield
What in the bud lies sealed,
The rose shall then unfold,
The heart be full revealed
Wheu this new moon is old!
END OF THE TRADE DOLLARS.
On a recent Friday afternoon
the last "melt" of the 3,485,533
trade dollars which have Use n re
ceived at the United Stated assay
oflice in Wall street, since the act
of Congress authorizing their
purchase went into effect, was
completed and the limpid silver
vas poured into the molds and
I transformed into silver bricks,

these last representatives ot a

observed .'that two small qnatiti

TO STRENGTHEN MEMORY.
- f
I
In the last number of Dreia a
writer quotes - an-. .extended ac
count from Thurlow Weed of hoV
bo , strengthened his nienWy:!
in early - life frorn ' a defective
memory, and thought : thut h'e
could nerer succeed a9 a politic
cian because he did not remember
people and incidents except in
they especially interested ,him.
To overcome this - he becran a
babit of, at its close, recalling ev
erything that had happened dur
ing the day. Soon he made thjs
resume aloud to his wife: "Every
night, the lust thing before retir
ing (one would have expected
Thurlow Weed to have said "go
ing to bed" I told her every
thing that I could remember that
had happened to me or about rrie
during the day. I generally r
ca.led the very dishes I had had
for breakfast, dinner and tea; tHe
people I had seen and what thoy
paid; the editorials I had written
for my paper, giving her brief ex
tracts 'of them. I mentioned all
tho letters I had sent and received,
and the very language used as
nearly as possible; when I had
walked or ridden. I told her
everything that had come within
my observation. I found I could
pay my lessons bettor and better
every day. I am iii -
klebted to t his discipline for a
memory of somewhat ununual
tenacity." - f
