Life Lilies. X wandered down life's garden. In the flush of a golden day, The flowers and thorns irrew thickly lu the spot where I chanced to stray. I went to choose me a flower For life*, for weal or for woe; On, on 1 went, till I stayed me By the spot where the lilies grow. •*Yea, I will carry a lily,” I said in my in to hood's pride; •‘A bloodless, thornless illy Shall be my flow or!” I cried. I stretched mv hands out quickly To where *'..o pule blossom* grew, the air that shivered! /v Vo a wind that blew? Was it my hands that scorched them? As I touched the olossoms fair. They broke and scattered their petals On the sunny nooutide air. Then I saw a great, bright angel With opal-colored wings. Where the light flushed in the feathers In golden glimmerings. He said, “Thou hast sinned and suffered; Lillee are not sos thee. They are all for the little children, Emblems of purity.” ’“Shall I never carry a lily? Never?” I bitterly cried. With his great eves full of pity, The heavenly oue replied; **When the heat of the day is over; When the goal is won,” ho said, •*Ah, then T lay God’s lilies In the bunds of the stainless dead!” —All the Year ’Round. Hymn of the Nativity. Host, Thou in a manger lie, Who hast, all created, Stretching infant hands on high, Savior long awaited? If a monarch, where Thy state? W’h**re Thy court on Theo to wait? Royal purple, where? Here no regal pomp to see, Naught but need and penury; Why thus cradled here? Pitying love for fallen man Brought Me thus down low, For a race deep lost in sin, Rushing into woe. By this lowly birth of Mine, Countless riches shall be thine. Matchless gifts, and free; Willingly this yoke I take, And this sacrifice X tnuko, Heaping joys for thee. Fervent praise would I to Theo Evermore be raising; For Thy wondrous love to me • Praising, praising, praising. Olory. glory be forever Unto that most bounteous Giver, And that loving Lord!

“A. WITLESS THING.” London World. A doonment in madness; thoughts and remembrances titted.—Hamlet, act lv, ec. 5. “Now, remember, Lord Gray ton,” said the Doctor solemnly, “all I told you. You are very welcome to come to our ball, though, as a rule, we only ask a certain set of wise men and maidens who know our ways and their ways. Still, you are good-looking, humorous and cheery, and if you are sensible you can enjoy yourself, and, maybe, do them a world of good. I believe in electricity as a curative agent—not the quack nonsense of belts and chains and musical boxes, tlfat only shake the nerve-centers, but the real electricity of animal spirits, the tonic of good health." “I shall do exactly as I am bid,” said Lord Grayton, a handsome, florid, muscular young man, strong as a horse, buoyant as a balloon, just back after a self-imposed exile of five years in India with the biggame; “but tell me of all those confounded cautions again. I did a lot of dancing.of various kinds years ago, before I went after the tigers"—and he laughed as mingled memories of Mayfair and the Lotus Club swam back to him—and I’ve tried both the Corroboree and the Salongn; but’pon honor I never danced with a lunatic, girl yet” “A re you quite sure of that?” said the Doctor, grimly; “they are to be met with outside Copswood, I can tell you. However, listen; the rule is simple. Be civil and don’t contradict. If old Crackton asks you to piay chess, play. He’s a good player, and will beat you fairly if he can; if he can’t he’ll make a false move and call ‘checkmate,’ and yon must resign. If poor Snobly thinks you are the Prince, and 'Sirs’ you all over the place, and throws out hints about being asked to Sandringham; if you are asked to listen to the chiming clock in Baker’s interiors, or to avoid someone else, because he’s glass and might break, you must do your best to be courteous to them all, and on no account laugh at their fancies.” "Sounds rather jumpy. And the ladies?” “I’ll see to that and introduce you to the nicest, and tell yon what to avoid speaking about; the men will make the talking for themselves, the women don't talk much.” “Sign of insanity, I suppose. And what am I to talk about?” “Everything save someone thing—the Empress of Austria, or the stage, or white roses, or Mr. Mattock, or black stockings. I’ll give you the cue—never fear; only it may happen that one of them will ask you to dance, and then yon must steer as best you can—talk society or art on chance. My own girls and their friends get on famously with the male patients, and j r ou must do your best. Come, you are going to be our best tonic to-night, and you must be off and dress; 9 sharp, miud, as they all go to bed at midnight.” “Queer thing this,” soliloquised Grayton as he completed an elaborate dressing, “beginning my first season after five years by dancing with a lot of lunatics. Hope they won’t wear straw in their hair; if they do, I shall bolt to the Congletous’s dance.” He had many strange adventures that evening as he strolled about the pretty ballroom at the Copswood private asylum. He was duly defeated at ehess by tlie venerable Crackton, who deliberately sltd back a captured queen on the board, and performed prodigies of valor with her. He sympathized with the gentleman who had swallowed a crocodile, and he noticed the pale cadaverous man who amused himself by counting the lights on each side of the room and singing softly to himself, “Sorry I can't admit it, sorry I can’t admit ill” He had been an acrostic editor once upon a time. He noticed the fussy little man, with a pale-blue shaven face, who wanted to stagemanage the sixteen lancers, and who piteously entreated the dancers to “go back over all that again, please, and try and get it crisper;” and the erratic journalist who wrote paragraphs on his shirt-cuffs, and many other strange folks that passed by in the motley pageant of unsettled reasons. “There’s King Lear,” whispered the Doctor, as “a very foolish fond old man, fourscore and upwards,” passed them, muttering Os “Brighton A’s;” “you know who he was?" and he whispered a name in Grayton's ear that made that nobleman whistle softly. “And are thereany Ophelias, ‘whose young maid’s wits should be as mortal as an old man’s life?’ ” asked Grayton, showing that he knew his Shakspeaieas Well as the Doctor. “Yes,.but we keep their secrets. Now go and dance;” and the Doctor took King Lear off for a cup of coffee. It was a sad, weird sight altogether, and as Grayton watched it, it reminded him of Kaulbach’s “Dance of Death,” and he felt oddly morbid as he thought of his own lonely life. He had once loved and given his heart to a woman whom he had both idealized and idolized; he had youth, brains and position, and with her he felt he could conquer the world. It was an old story; she turned out to be as loveless as she was lovely, and so he took to the tigers. He had got over it all now, but he shuddered as he remembered the fret of it all, and thought how near madness he had been driven when he heard of her ultimate fate, and where her life had drifted to. So there were Ophelias here. More like Audreys, he thought, as he watched some rather uncouth gamboling in a corner. His eyes wandered round the room, and rested at last on a face. It was an exquisite oval face, somewhat sad and wistful in expression, of that rare delicate olive color one sees in the South, with the skin of so fine a texture that the red flush springs Op through the vein-tracery at a moment’s excitement; the large brown eyes were soft and dreamy, the chiseled mouth was half parted, and the dark brown hair, looking black as night, was worn, Greek fashion, close to the head, sweeping in undulating lines past the tiny, rosetipped ears. She was seated on a low sofa, carelessly clasping one knee with both hands. She wore a simple white frock, just mysteriously frilled round the little white column of a throat, and a great black-red rose nestled in her breast. One little high-arched foot, in peachcolored netted silk, kept swinging to the music. No one seemed to talk to her except the Doctor, who smiled pleasantly as lie passed and said something to which she answered with a nod. “Ophelia at last,” said Grayton to himself; and in melancholy vein he wished he were Hamlet and could lie at her feet and watcli the play. “ ‘Poor Ophelia! Divided from herself and her fair judgment!’” (the quotation was irresistible). “I wonder what sent her here; some brute of a man. or a soldier lover killed at Kassassin. Gracious! I hope this terrible Meg Merrilies is not going to ask me to dance!” and he moved away as he saw a wildeyed woman bearing down upon him, to a seat somewhat nearer the pale girl with the black-red rose. For a time he watched her; then he tried to magnetize her. At last their eyes met; he stared her full in the face. She never shrank from his look, only a sort of pitying light seemed to glow in the sorrowful eyes. A moment passed, and then she rose quietly and with perfect self-possessed grace walked over to him—to his intense astonishmentsat down quietly by his side, and said in a soft mu-ical voice: “You seem sad to-night. lam sorry.” For a moment he was tongue-tied; then he recollected his instructions and pulled himself together. “Well, I think I was sad because you were looking sad.” “Was 1? I suppose I always do, then. Os course, being here naturally makes one feel sad. But we won’t talk of that,” she added quickly. “Do you care for dancing? I'll dance with you, if yon like." "Dancel with you?” “0 yes, if you like; many of the others dance, you know.” “How calmly she seems to recognize her

sad state!” thought Grayton, as he stood up and passed his arm around poor Ophelia's slender waist, wondering how she would “jig and amble.” They were playing the “Dreamfaces,” and as they swung in undulating rhythm to the pretty song he felt that few slips of sane seventeen could come up to her. “That’s right,” said the Doctor encouragingly; “set a good example.” “Means I’m to be a tonic, I suppose.” thought Grayton; so he carried off Ophelia for an ice. “You dance beautifully,” she said. “No, you sit down, and I’ll get you the ice; there, now; there’s a spoon and a wafer; now you feel comfortable, don’t you? Isn't that a lovely valse?” “Yes, I'm fond of ‘Dream-faces.’ The people one meets in dreams are generally vastly nicer than the real folk. I have many dream friends.” “Have you?” she said, looking amused; “tell me of them.” “Well, you know, I think I’m married to a dream-wife—just like Gilbert’s Princess Toto, you know, with her dream-husband. And she comes to me sometimes and scolds me if I’ve done anything wrong in the day; and sometimes she’s very loving, and sometimes she’s cross and doesn’t come near me for weeks.” “How charming! Do tell me more of her. Is she beautiful? What is she like?” The fanciful conceit seemed to amuse her, so he went on drawing pretty pictures of an ideal woman; then growing unconsciously eloquent, he burst out, “Ah, if one could only meet her alive, what a wife she would make! Avery second self, aiding, sympathizing, helping, loving—at once the cheeriest of chums and the most idolized of idols.” She had flushed a little as lie spoke, but she went on: “What a pretty picture! Where did you get your beautiful thoughts about marriage?” “I suppose my dream-girl taught me.” “Is she pretty?” Grayton wondered il deliberate, bare-faced compliment would be a good tonic for a lunatic. “Yes, beautiful. She has large brown eyes, wonderful hair, a low voice, an olive oval face; she dances superbly, and she wears a black-red rose in her white dress.” Ophelia looked a little frightened. “Forgive me, I didn’t mean to be rude, but she is—really, you are not angry with me?’ and he laid his hand gently on hers. “0, no;” then there was a pause. “Come, and let .me show you some pictures. I’m something of an artist myself;” and she led him into a long gallery, and talked art so sensibly and sympathetically that here, at all events, he felt there was a very pleasant method in her madness. "Talking art” is a recognized method of interchanging sympathies. He was no bad judge of a pictnre, but he preferred to affect ignorance, and asked the stupidest questions simply f r the pleasure of hearing her talk. There was a kind of innocent dignity abouther that fascinated him. She was more like a vestal virgin tban a Bacchante. So the evening passed all too quickly, till he suddenly bethought himself that there was an important division in the Lords that night, and that he was bound to be a “not content” before the clock struck 11, and after that he was due at Lady Congleton’s dance, “Must von go away?” she said. “Why?” “Well, you see, I’m one of those muchabused, people that the Radicals call hereditary legislators, and I am not abolished yet; I must be in our House at 11.” Os course she could not have understood a word he said, for she murmured to herself, “Poor fellow! So young, too!” He rose and held his band out. “Good night; thank you for a very charming evening.” “Good night,” said Ophelia, tenderly. “I should like a little memory of this meeting. Will you give me that rose? I’ve been longing for it all the evening.” “Os course I will. Why didn’t you ask for it before?” and she took it from her dress and fastened it in his coat. “I shall see you again. There will be another dance here soon. How is it that I never saw you before at one?” “This is my first dance here,” he said gravely. Why it was that Ophelia’s eyes suddenly filled with tears he couldn’t understand, but she left him with a quiet bow and went back to the dancing-room. “You’ve been enjoying yourself, I soe,” said the Doctor, as Grayton came to say good-bye, “though I must say it was rather selfish of both of you.” “Selfish! Why, I did all I could for her, poor dear girl!" “Poor! Why, my dear Lord Grayton, she has six thousand a year of her own!” “Dear me! and what is done with it?” “She does what she likes with it; she helps all the big charities, and she helps me and Copswood in particular, and she generally does a lot of good to our poor people—picks up someone she takes a fancy to and cheers him up a bit. She’s one of my best tonics, and this is the first time I have noticed that she never danced once with a patient; that was your fault, you know.” “Good gracious! then she—isn't—a—a patient herself?” The Doctor laughed till the tears rolled down his jolly face. “Bless my heart, no! That’s Lady Mary Pettigrew, daughter of old Lord Polonius, and she's just one of the cleverest and sweetest girls iu the world. I thought you knew her.” “Not I! She came over and spoka to me and—" “I see it. all —took you for a patient! 0, this is too lovely!” a id the Doctor wa3 positively boisterous in his merriment. Grayton bolted to the House, and having duty recorded his vote against the bill, sent up from the Commons, for chloroforming grouse instead of shooting them, betook himself in a strange state of bewilderment to Lady Congleton’s. His hostess welcomed him warmly, like the returned prodigal that he was. and insisted upon introducing him to someone in whom she seemed to have a special interest. “Really a delightful girl, Lord Grayton, quite after your own heart—devoted to art and philanthropy, you know.” * Grayton was too full of thought to protest, so submitted meekly. . What were girls to him just then? He was thinking over Copswood as his hostess took his arm and they set out on a pilgrimage. “Ah, here she is! Lady Mary Pettigrew, Lord Grayton. I'm sure you two will get along capitally;” and her ladyship was off, leaving Grayton staring vaguely at bis fascinating lunatic. Lady Mary could hardly suppress a scream as she turned her head and blushed as deep as the rose he still wore in bis button-hole. “How —now did you get out?” site asked awkwardly. “I never was in. Lady Mary; the fact is, I’m afraid there has been a little mistake on both sides. I only found out from the Doctor as I left that you weren’t a—” She put her feathery fan up with a warning. “Hush!” then said, “What brought you there?” “Curiosity; and you?” “I often go there and try to do some good. I cheer them sometimes; but to-night! 0, how wrong and stupid of me!” There was a little pause as he looked at her with his frank, kindly eyes. “Let US forget and forgive, Lady Mary; after all, you were very good to poor Hamlet." “And you were nice and kind to foolish Ophelia. Listen! there’s the 'Dream-faces' again; let ns see if we can dance it in our right minds,” she said as she rose with a nervous smile quivering in the corners of her lips. And it so happened that in a month they both came to their right minds, and the Doctor Was at the wedding. IN spite of ail the new remedies which are constantly introduced to the puhltc, Dr. Bull’s Cough Bvrup still takes the land for the cure of coughs, colds, etc. Price 25 cents.

It is proposed to drive a tunnel into tlie crater of Popocatapetl and to build from the mouth of tlie tunnel a railway to connect with the Interoceanic railway at Amecarneca. The parties who are in negotiation for the property with the owner of the volcano. General Gasper Sanches Ochoa, are said to he a rich American house. Tlie representatives of the house visited the volcano with the French engineer, Mr. Charles Roav. A contract is said to have been made for the exportation of 50,000 tons of sulphur a year at least. It is also proposed to establish a factory of sulphuric acid for use here in Mexico, selling it at $3 a quintal of 65° strength. These products of Popocatepetl will add largely to the business of the Interoceanic railway. A Rolled Buzzard. Franklin (N. Y.) Nows. As Mr. Levi Hollingsworth was passing through his farm, on the evening of the 21st ult., bis attention was attracted by the sound of a bell. At first he thought it was on the ground, hut soon heard it in the air above him. When lie looked up he distinctly saw a hell fastened to a buzzard, and heard the sound of it a half mile. As Mr. Buzzard led a large flock of buzzards South to roost, the same bell and buzzard was seen by his daughters as it iiew over the house. Who belled the buzzard?
