And thou a sudden bow of ffellelf
Burst in the heavous and winged ito
flight ;
Descending I!!co the evening dove
In limpid forms of varied hues
Electric flame whose glitt'ring light
Like Summer's etmbeams pure and bright
Waved through the hoavous like banners
pale
And glimmered through the woody vale ;
A. dying Sash, whose gnlv'ring gleam
Seemed like the phantom of to dream,
The lightning spread in mighty sheets
A eanopy'bove the streets 1
The placid rive' gently wound
Its way o'er the onehtinted ground
Whose ehartning freshness slut -Wring
lay
And dreamed and wept itself away ;
Tho watch dog bayed beyond the hill,
The tuneless birds, the gurgling rill
Resounding from their shady bowers
Disturbed the weird and dreamy hours
And Nature filled with magic powers.
Theo, while the drowsy mortals slept,
The heaven of heavens smiled aid wept.
Brief was 411e Beene, and sweet as oft
Life's pleneures are when from aloft.
A. wandering breeze theilaeh.lipi1t stirred,
Whish tlutteted like a wounded bird,
And then in silence fell asleep
Behind yon mount so dark and steep.
THE LITTLE BLACK TEAPOT,
When the sky darkens down on a cold
Winter's day ;
When we long for the sttn,hine to come
and to stay ;
When the angry wind rages, and down
from each cloud
Cones the drift that envelops all things
in a shroud—
To warm me and ohm: me, I have some.

In the little black teapot that smokes on
the stand.

bordered and white;
And the sugar dish has, on its handle, a
bird,
And 3t makes as shrill whistling as boy
ever heard,
nd "Iforget.me-nol." this is its golden
ootnmand,
Both to me and the teapot that smokes
on the eland.
While a pile of orae= crackers suffice for
a lunch—
I've no longing for winos, am a stranger
to punch ;
And I never am called on for bills at the
bar,
So my credit is good and my paper at
par,
When I thirst I've a beverage ready at
hand,
In the little black teapot that smokes on

Let them pile on their silver, their sore

OUR FAULT'S". A
At our birth, the satirical elves
Two Backe from our shoulders suspend ;
The One holds the faults of ourselves,
Tho other the tante of our friends.
The first we wear under our clothes,
Out of sight, out of mind at the bank ;
The last is 90 coder our Linea

THE BRAVEST SOLDIER,
The bravest battle that ever was fought,
Shall l tell you where and when ?
On the maps of the world yea'll find it
• not;
'Twee fought by the mothers of men.
Nay, not with cannon or battle shot,
With sword or nobler pen 1
Nay, not with eloquent word or thought
From mouth of wonderful men 1
But deep In the walled -up woman's heart
Of woman that would not yield,
Bat bravely, silently bore her part—
Lo, there is the battle -field 1
No marshaling troop, no bivouac sang,
No banner to gleam and wave 1
But, oh, these battles, they lasted so
long—
From babybood to the grave 1
THE AURORA. BOREALIS.
'Twos midnight hour aud still the night,
The lamps were out, the eters shone
bright ;
And peacefully the silvery noon
Looked through the grim and darkling
gloom
With beaming smile, whose heavenly
light
Dispelled the shadowy mists of night.
The vaults above, ail richly crowned,
Seemed now to light the landscape round,
And cold the atmosphere and clear
Sparkling like jewels fur and near,
And hottr•frost spread its icy strand
Round shrub and vine ; wbile treetops
bowed
Their gliet'ning heads in onlm repose.
And slowly o'er the city rove
A stately column, tinged with light,
Which proudly floated from my sight
And wandered into realms unknown,
As pilgrims to some brighter sone
Lamrol, forth, in solitude sublime,
Where fame lays settled ; no sound nor
sign
Conveys what rapturous bliss is there.
But to I there thrilled the atmosphere
A breeze, that gently wafted by
And kindled in the Northern sky
A sea of lite, with brilliant rays
That scattered wide the misty haze
Arid leaped and flickered through the shy
And to the zenith seemed to fly
With wonderful vivacity.
The clear lights streamed Verne° my eyes
And shed their brightneee o'er the s!(ie0..
Like flaming swords with glitt'ring blade
They flashed amid the silent shade,
And heaven en high exultwttt gleamed,
Seraphic jubilee 0 seemed ;
Thain streamers fast nnfurlod and high,
The air a flame ; and o'er the sky
The snowy epraye effulgent flew,
And bright al dawn the midnight grow ;
Serenely beautiful and bright,
To guide the nomads through the tight
And lead thorn tc their hunting.ground
Behind the ioe.olad mountain found.

AAf nary- OF THE STREET,
She wail a very dainly and lovely little
maiden, gowned in a fetching nt'eutiolt
of soma kind of dark heliotrope silk.
She was stopped by a ragged littlo
newsboy on Charles street, who said,
pleadingly,
"Wontobar buy a paper, lady 7"
Tho little urchin stood nod stared at
her, as she smilingly held out a penny to
Jiln1,
What are you looking at, little boy 7"
she said, as she tried to call his attention
to the money.
Nothiu'--•only was jos' tbinitin' you
Is the beautifullost lady I ever seed."
She smiled and gave him a flower
from a largo bunch she carried in her
hand. Many a member of the gay set
might have sued in vain for the favor
she bestowed unasked on this child of
the street. She blushed and hurried
away when she saw that the affair had
bean notloed by somo well.known men
standing near.
One of them called the boy to him and
said t—
I say, little chap, I'll give you 50
cents for that flower."
The little fellow opened hie eyes in
w0udor. He looked at hie treasure, and
thought of the triumph it would be to
wear ID before his associates and tell' that
a "oho"nuff fine Lady glued it to him."
Then he pictured the delights that the
60 ciente would bring. How grandly he
would entertain his frlende.
"I'll make it a dollar," said the man,
bent on trying him,
"You will do nothing of the kind,"
said his friend, "It Is a shame to prove
him disloyal. I hove a fanny that the
kid shall keep his dower. That will be a
good story to tell at the olnb in this de.
generate age. Het'o, boy, take thle and
Meer out," and he gave bile astonished
urchin a dollar.
Tho boy looked at it a moment, his
Maud closed tightly over it. Yes, it was
real
TMttn he ran u as hard as he could,
Hover stopping to say,.Thank you." He
was afraid his fairy grandmother, who
seemed about to -day, would desert him
and the gentleman change his mind.
BUSINESS LETTERS.

Therefore they Should be confined to
business.
Brevity i0 a merit exeep4 when it inter-
feres with to clear understanding of the

Write all that is necessary and then
stop.
But don't stop nntil all Inas been said.
Ono Jotter will do as much work as six
if the contents of the six are included in

and addressed it to the town where the
justice resided.
It reached its destination safely and in
good time.
The local postmaster koow the justice's
handwriting.
Stilt this is considerable trouble.
But it doesn't often happen.
A good business letter oonelets simply
in stating plainly and fully all the writer
wishes to say.
It is nob, as some people suppose, one
of the hiddeu mysteries.
The gramatioal construction is of sec•

to be said.
