Neath the soft, mellow light of the silk-shaded . gas, We were supping together, long after the ball, In the scarlet and gold of her Indian shawl, She sat nibbling a partridge and toyed with her glass. E We had chatted of music, of art, and of all The grave people or gay at the fete we saw pass, And I dared to broach love, too, if well I recall, While I sipped my Chablis with some splendid cold bass, As I gazed on her beauty with fond eyes that dreamed Through the undulate smoke of a blonde cigarette, I perceived her bite slowly a truffle—it seemed, To my mind, over-languid with poetry yet, As she touched the black dainty with white teeth that gleamed, Like a glitter of pearls in a setting of jet. gine ore TES. Salhi Tue trouble with the stylish painted belts is, that a fellow awakes in the morning to find the sleeve of his dress-coat decorated with a yellow cauliflower, or a bit of bean vine.—Syracuse Sunday Times, Prayers for rain were offered in all the Petersburg, Va., churches on Sunday.

Kronikle- Herald. Tuey are saying now that Diogenes never lived in a tub, Before long somebody will be claiming that Noah never lived in an ark, that George Washington never lived in the hearts of his countrymen, and that Daniel Pratt never kept house in a dry-goods box.— Bangor Com- mercial, THERE are two things which your great American statesman always does when a news- paper man interviews him; he immediately tells the reporter all that he knows (it doesn’t take some of them very long) and then im- presses it upon him that he mustn’t put it in the paper.— Cin. Sat, Night, A Lonpon scientific journal says the cucum- ber is known to have been cultivated for more than 3,000 years—that it was extensively grown in ancient Egypt. Perhaps it was the cucum- ber and not the asp that Cleopatra took to her bosom with fatal results, We always did doubt the snake story.—orr. Herald.
