Back in dismay he drew, Feeling he never knew When cannon thundered ; His not to plead, or sigh, His but to starve and die, And to a iiauper's grave Sink with a soul as brave As through the vale of death Rode the six hundred. Flashed a proud spirit there, Up through the man's despair, Shaming the servile there, Scaring the timid, while Sordid souls wondered ; Then turned to face his fate Calmly, with soul so great As when through shot and shell He rode with six hundred, With high hope elate, Laughing in face of fate— }Rode With six hundred.

Few people fancy the bick currant at first ; but, like the toms, a taste for them is to be acquired, and when once acquired it ie. never rel! quishcd. We all know that an acquired este is much e' more lasting than a natura�1 one. Black currants, unlike most other kinds of E fruit, can be- indulged in' by even sick persons. They make the very best of , Jelly, and for preserves cannot be excell- ed (if, indeed, - equalled) niter any other E' fruit. -an More than Entdugh. • Au advertisement appeared in various s New York papers the other day, stating that Mr. Henry C. Motley, of Nos. 9 and 98 Grand street, was desirous of o purchasing fancy -bred dogs, for the pur- g, pose of establishing a Centennial dog `c show. The advertisement requested the owners of the dogs to take them to Nos. 86 and 98 Grand Street. Mr. Mot- a ley is the senior partner of the firm of Elliot C. Cowdin & Co., wlholesale silk se importers. Before tee warehouse was o opened on Monday there were twenty- i rs five persons with _dogs waiting outside. ; U The first to gain entrance to the ware- house was an Irish lady, . who had a large white poodle for sale. Mr. Mot- 1 TO ley at once said he had a '4 full line " of ! dogs, and, that he did not desire to pur- 1 W. H. OLIVER, chase any more.

For bargain- ing, being in its own way an intellectual pursuit, is independent of the amount and quality of the gain. It is a passion that may be indulged in for its own sake a game to be played for threepenny points., an cxerci of skill so absorbing for the moment that lookers on are for gotten. We cannot have everything in this world, and t e most successful wo- man at a bargain cannot enjoy her tri- : umph and keep h ,r dignity at the same time.
