I waited in the Mlac-scented dusk Until the darkness blossomed into stars; The air was fragrant with the breath of musk ‘That Houted frum the roscs at the bars. ‘The night was in the heart of fragrant June, ‘As sweet and tender ns 2 poct’s 1m; J whistied neath my breath a broken tune, And listened in the pauses to a stream ‘That murmured by with rhythmic undertone; 1 caught the chirp of some half-wakened bird. And still T waited at the bars alone, The tall of Lilla’s footsteps yet unheard. So shy she was, this little rustic dove, 1 thought, to-night, I'd catch her to my heart, And whisper to bor all my growing love; 1 felt, e’en now, her timid pulses start. Just then I heard a footfall on the grass, And stepped into the shadow of the trees;. 1 heard the whispering zephyrs Uy me pass, ‘And caught the scent of lilacs on the breeze. The step drew near and nearer to my side ‘And paused beside the bars moment's space; I threw my arms about the silent form ‘And pressed warm kisses on the drooping face. Ye gods! a stalwart form was next my heart, I heard an exclamation sharp and gruff: L felt, not Lilla’s, but my pulses start, And started on a run,—I'd had enough. heard a shout of laughtar at the bars, But did not pause to join him in his mirth. ‘Her father! when did the unlucky stars Play such a trick to any man on earth?

Laplus, Mountain Home, BITTERSWEET. a AN INTERESTING LETTER. 4 To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune, *- Sr. JOSEPH, Mich., Feb. 22.—In is an old legend. Perhaps you have all heard it; but it comes to me 80 forcibly while reading the letters Ly ‘Topsey Tinkle and Amateur Poet that I must repeat it here: 'Twas in the days of chivalry that one bright morning two Knights came riding toward cach other,—their armors clanking, their chargers prancing, their plumes and crests and helmets eparkling in the sun. As they drew nearer, each beheld a beautiful shield, suspended “from au overhanging arch, directly before his eyes. “© what 2 beautiful red shicld!” exclaimed the first Knight. “0 whata lovely blue shield!” said the other: “It’s not blue, but red,” cried the former. “It’s not red, but blue,”.replied the latter. ‘Thus they contended, each’ becoming more positive that he was right and the other wrong, until iteame to blows. All day long they fought, and firally one was slain. As the victor rode ‘past the shield, he chanced to look bucs, and be-. j hold "twas painted blue! One side red and the other blue—both Knights right, and each of them wrong! Even so, Topsey Tinkle, out of the merriment and cheer of her own bright heart, is sure the world is jolly; . while Paul Browne, from the depths of his forlorn, dreary soul, is equally pos- itive the? it is sad. ‘And, witer all, the world is only _as it seems to us. Tox certain extent we nll belong to the old schoul of Egoists.‘and the happiness or misery is in our own hearts. sionate “feelings.” Just one thing more, Mr. Browne (for the clock warns me to draw this delightful chat to a close): when next your sweetheurt gives you a Dirthday present of a “ Book on Etiquet,” please ask her to ‘turn down the leaf where it say: panos, shalt not call a lady a fool, even if she is apps." ‘Yopsey Tinkle, read Thackeray’s letters on “Snobs” if you want an answer to the awfully hard questions you usked a week ago. ‘The reason so many of us: affect a penchant for serious books, and classical music, and poc- try, aud philosophy, and general profundity that we really don't care a straw about, is be- cause we are snobs, absurdly ridiculous snobs, sway down to the bottom of our silly little hearts. Cousin Herbert's hiehly-colored creature was 1 most charming snob: the youths that toated thro Priscilla’s letter ‘yesterday were ¢x- quisite specimens; and. mj dear Topsey, I fear even we—by presuming to designate these odi- ous things—are also—snobs!_- ‘Twitter, did you love Col. Dobbin? Now, I re- spected him with all my heart, but I didn't love him one bit, any more than I did Amelia, or, in fact, any of the good ones. Somehow Thack- eray’s books always leave me dissatistled, pos- sessed with a miserable distrust of human nature. The stories are intensely interesting and well told, but you know we girls want, an nuthor to furnish us a true hero and heroine, not only good, but 60 attractive as to command our jove, even against our will. ‘Thackeray gives us nothing of the sort,—not one David Copperfield, or Regecca, or, Ellen Douglas, or Lord itochester, or Portia. If a heroine is aweet and trusting he marries her to some eel- tish, egotistical snob, whom, of cxurse, she loves intensely, but sino will make her wretchedly unhappy. Crities have said this author gives us the real, instead of the ideal; life as itis, rather than as w hitto be. ‘That may be true, but I can’t quite believe it faith In the existence of true, living beroes and heroines is not quite dead yet. “rwenty’ ears from now I may like Thackeray very well and agree with him per- fectly, but not to-day. ‘And now, Chat, truly and upon your honor, do. you think that ghostly cnap who had been stroll- ing out there in the. moonlight with the Indy in the jaunty walking-suit:and_ stylish.

To the Editor of The Chicago Tripune. “Cnicaco, Feb. 25.—Many thanks, Ivy Oak, for those kind words; but I feel that an entirely unselfish person would be as hard to find as one that never told a Hie, now tbat the cherry-tree and hatchet theory bas been exploded. Weare all more or less selfish, according to the in- fluences that surrounded us in our pre-natal existence, in our childhood, and those years that Iwill denominate as the dreamland of youth. Where we find a murvelously selfish nature that is forever grasping for popularity and wealth to the exclusion of all principle, we may go back to the period of unconsciousness for a solution of the problem such a, nature involves. Selfishness, thus rooted and encouraged through childhood and youth, becomes as constant and imperious a companion ns the fabled Old Man of the Sea, unless super- humun- exertions are put forth to unclusp its rigid hands. @here are no unlovuble traits in our natures Mit what can be modified by con- stunt watchfulness and attention, if we can only bemade to acknowledge that ther are such. The great trouble in reformation lies in not being able to observe the same peculiarities in our vuwn natures that we are so eager to con- demn in others. What seem to us to be faults of prodigious magnitude in others look like the smallest specks when the shadows come stenling across our own threshold, and the gaunt form of condemnation confronts us with ifs out- stretched urm and menacing attitude. Knowing that the loathsome serpent that we scoffed ut while Paine his avocation ut our neighbor's door will take on the. beautiful hue yf the rose and the delicious aroma of the hya~ cinth when he turns his attention to us, it is Well for us to let charity govern us in our acts and speech at all times. ‘Could a purely unselfish person exist in this age of rush,‘and whirl, and commotion, that per- son might well be considered as only a step be- Jow the angels. We are all more or less wedded toxelf. With some, selfishness may be confined tothe small, unnoticeable details of life, while others, by their open unchuritablencss and de- sire to prosecute to the bitter end, make them- selves object. of distrust and scorn umong the worthy and unbiased in judgment; those who constitute the truly great and sood. “AS society now Stands, whit need constitute but a tiny ripple on the’ surface of the vast zea of life is made to expand into a monstrous and overwhelming billow by the ceaseless tossing of ebbies, in the brave endeavor to hit the quiver- he mark andsend it, braised and bleeding, down uid the mire and slime at the bottom. Tt is an elegunt pastime, this tossing of stones and watching the ripples as.they expand and roll gleefully away, each one udding its mite to the growing proportions of the surging billows. Perhaps those who indulge in the pastime may some time become the quivering murk, the seductive charms of-the rose and hyacinth hav- ing conquered prudence and wrought. destruc- tion and despuir.

And bow clearly the exquisitly-orgun- ized, sensitive-souled criucs evince their cul vation and advancement in these enthusiastic endeavors to bring to.the light and magnify every thorn, every acid, every heartache in this weury vale of tears! Seems to me 1 have read of a certain bird that rs indifferenuy over tields of grain, and sty slopes, and wooded dells, only to_ seck some barren waste where Jie the bones and flesh of wolves, and demons, end dead things.

Burns confessed in one of his letters that bis desigh in sceking society was to tly from_constitutional melancholy; but they who were fascinated by his wit orentrinced : !ittie thought that all his live- and energy sprang less from an auxicty for display than from a horror of soli- le.

It is a severe trial to place ourselves in the background and give the preference to those who will not appreciate tho kindness, especially when our dearest hopes ure shattered by the condescension. It may be a hard task to give upa_ coveted pleasure in order to place Tuod and clothing at the disposal of the hungry and poorly clad; but, when it becomes an im- perative duty, we should steady our nerves for the occasion, and believe ourselves deeply fa- vored by Providence in possessing the means of relieving suffering and want. Few persons are equal to the emergency of placing self in the background at ull times, and soI again: assert that unselfish persons are few and far between. Since writing the above I have received an earnestly worded letter from a young lidy who has been deprived of the udvantages of school, and who desires the ance of The Home in taking up 2 course of studies that shall benefit herthe most, that she inzy the sooner be able to assume the burden of life and become a useful and influential member of society. It is not pecuniary aid she wishes, but suggestions and advice relative toa thorough course of study. Will each of the principal correspondents of The Home please give their ideas on this im- portant question, not only for her assistance, but forthe vast number of learncrs who are too timid to make their wants known, but will exgerly clutch at the hints thus thrown out? Let theready pens of the witty. grave, and gay be wielded in behalf of the learners in'life’s school. ORLENA. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

Whut is the use of pooks of reference if they tell us only what. everybody who reads the papers knows already? The title-page, to continue the description, reads as follows: “The Spectator, volume seventh. Edinburg. Printed for Messrs. Bell & Bradfute, Dickson, Greech.

THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE. ‘The Rev. Vosbiargh. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. _ Lawnpate, Feb, 27,—The Rev. Mr. Vos- burgh, late of New York, is preaching very acceptably to the Baptists of our little town. Pleasing and entertaining in private, he is buth instructive and eloquent in the pulpit. True, some of his congregation are rather prejudiced against him, from the fact of his having been tried a few months ago for poi oning his wife, but when will ple cease looking for perfection in their ministers? Irlsh Donations to tho Rope. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. Cricago, Feb. 27.—I find the following in this morning’s issue of Tue TrmBuNe: - The Irish College hi s proseuted tohis Holiness Oo NIL. £450, recet ng Peter's pence from the Diocese of Armagh, and £100 from the Dio- cese of Kilmore, the grateful testimonial of the Irish people. ee There is something strange about: all this. ‘The Irish people are starving. Those who are in want.are mainly. Catholics. From them must come the offerings of. Peter’s pence. .The Pope accepts tis money ex-- torted (2) bythe priests from the suffering Irish peasants! It seems that itis not, only the landlords that grind the-people.of Ireland. And just now the people of America, mainly Protest- ants, are contributing money to the suffering Irish, which money will indirectly find its way into the pockets of the Pope of Rome. Why does not the Pope, gracefully return this money to his starving votaries? But there 15 little hope of that. H. A Chance for Inventors. ~ To the Edttor of The Chicago Tribune. DEFIANCE, O., Feb. 27.—When I was read- ing In your paper the account of the new “Repellent,” Ithought it might be a very useful invention, and then I thought of one which [ think possible that would be a thou- sand times more useful, viz.: a substitute for leather to clothe the feet,—something that will last at least a month, and keep the feet dry too. Shoes, as now made, are a most disastrous failure, both to pocketand health. The best of tnem will scarcely hold together a month, and then water runs through them like it would through a sieve, causing much ill-health and consequent doctors’ bills. Now let your inventors either find a substitute for leather, or take leather and impregnate it with something that will make it water-proof and durable, and have the shoes put together by some process that will make them stay to- gether. ‘I'he successful one will imake a fort- une and. get the blessings of, millions of despondent heads of large families.» Onze o¥ THEM. ‘ Poor Dags. To the Editor af The Chicago Tribune. CnicaGo, Feb. 27.—The enemies of dogs —burglars, sneak-thieves, and footpads—are raising a great “ hue and cry” through the columns of ‘Tue ‘Txtsune-for their own in- terest, and all because a Newfoundland dog, driven insane with rage on account of brutal treatment by its owners, ‘breaks its bonds and avenges itself ina doglike way. : ‘The question atises, Who is to blame, th dog orits master? The ‘annals: of hydro- phobia do not show one authenticated case of rabies in a dog or human being that was not produced by human agency,—the brutal or careless master on one side, and “quack ? doctors on the other. The “ doctor”’ by his course of poisonous “remedies” would give a hippopotamus the hydrophobia, let alone a weak human being, already half mad by rea- son of fear and the advice of his solicitous “friends.” The best means to prevent a person from going mad “ through fear,” on being bitten by a rabid dog, isto immediately getas drunk “*hiled owl,” and keep so tor two or three ys. and they can rest as- sured that the whisky will effectually neu- tralize any * dog puison ” in the system, on |. the principle that it neutralizes a rattlesnake orany bite. . The idea of slaughtering all dogs simply because one goes “inad” is the most ludi- crous sentiment ever. expressed by any one. Why not kill all human ‘beings on the same principle? Here in this State we haye hun- dreds of mad people, who were driven so through bratal treatment; and does it stand to reason that all humanity should be slaugh- tered because a few go mad ? And now, my dear dog-haters, burglars, and, footpads, please to ive us a rest about dogs, and, if you are afraid of being lacerated by a demented canine, wear boots with alli- gator-skin legs, so that.if one happens to take a notion to your leg -he will bite an alli- gator instead of you. One: time the “hue and cry” was against ‘‘rat-terriers,” another time against “Spitz” dogs, while now it is against the most noble ‘and trustworthy of dogs, the Newfoundland; ‘and right here I will state that there is not a single authent eated case of rabies in a dog of this speci ‘There are cases where they: have been driven wild with rage, but not rabies. In fact, it is the only species tyat seem to escape hydro- phobia. We know that children are the fa- vorit yictims of mad dogs, and the reason is, that most dogs are driven insane through their brutal. treatment by some “ mother’s darling.” If owners would treat their dogs with common huni yy Wwe should hear of very few cases of hydrophobia. But, where human beings have such a poor show, what can we expevt for dogs ? Yours truly, A. J. McDonaup, Our Water Supply. ™ the Editor of The Chicago Tribune, Cricaco, Feb. 27.—I was pleased to see, in your Saturday’s issue, the communication over the signature’ of “ Agricola,’ who “speaks right out in meeting,” and has no fear of trenching on the territory of the offi- cial who seems to think the whole world is hanging upon his declaration, and who, hay- ing onte, said the “ water is pure,” must 1i0t go back upon the statement, else his supreme wisdom is brought’into question, and the glory and emoluments of office fade into thin air. : Now, although the true solution of the matter, and the grand remedy, may not be struck in the suggestion of “ Agricola,” he is certainly upon the correct road to relief, and if the community give attention to it, and the practical man be heard more, and the official ‘usually more practical: in politi an ii ws ed fluids) ‘bd heard. less; ve may ae io work our way out of the’ hourly anger we are In. It is a fine state of affairs. when an officer whose business should be to sink self-glory.in the general good. lies to an -applicant to purchase a filter, with which he offers to show the impurities in the water: “Ive been saying for ten years that this water is the purest in the world, and do you suppose T am going back on it nuw?”; and again, when, another, not acity officer, but yet in tue employ of the city, in the line of which we are writing, declares to a party discussing the condition of the water, and the sewaze contained therein, that “Your interest and mine are adverse; you wish the people to know it, and then to make a profit out of it; but mine. is to suppress the true condition, and keep the facts a secret.” He claimed they were at work at it, or rather discussing the matter, and hoped to see a remetly to the difiiculty. But can we afford to wait the slow progress of official discussion when there isa double aim—tv hide the errors of past judgment, and to secure the glory of the patent for the new discovery?
