Oh, Maryanne, you pretty girl, Intent on silky labor, Of seamstresses the pink and pearl, Excuse a peeping neighbor! Those eyes, forever drooping, give The long, brown lashes rarely; But videts in the shadows live— For once unveil them fairly. Hast thou not lent that flounce enough Of looks so long and earnest? Lo! here's more "penetrate stuff," To which thou never turnest. Ye graceful fingers, deftly sped! How slender and how amble! Oh might I wind their skins of thread, Or but pick up their thimble! How bleat the youth whom love shall bring, And happy stars embolden, To change the dome into a ring, The silver into golden! Who'll steal some morning to her sile To take her finger smeasure, While Maryanne pretends to chide, And blushes deep with pleasure? Who'll watch her sow her wedding gown, Well conscious that it is here; Whom glean a tree without a frown, With these so ready sensors? Who'll taste those ripenings of the South, The fragrant and delicious— Don't put the pins into your mouth, Oh, Maryanne, my precious! "I will come," was the reply. And he came; and when he left the menagerie in the midst of the shades of night, two straining arms were round his neck, and two burning lips were pressed against his own. Soon the talk in the clubs was of nothing but of the strange liaison of Maniasko with the beautiful lion-tamer, and the young Prince's father, anxious for the future of his son, hastened as much as possible his marriage with the Princess Agrafine Slobuda, to whom he had been rifted when he was a child. A violent scene took place between the father and the son; at last the latter yielded, and one night he did not appear at the menagerie. Herma passed a night of anguish. Two evenings she again waited in vain for her lover; then she wrote to him and received no answer. The fourth night, as she was coming out of the cage and wrapping herself in her cloak, Edgar said to her: "Herma, shall I tell you why the wretch comes no longer?" "Tell me," she said, in a smothered voice; "I am ready for everything." "He will be married in three days." "You lie." "Why should I lie?" "What is the name of his bride?" "Princess Agrafine Slobuda." "Is she pretty?" "Beautiful, young and rich." A strident and hideous laugh escaped from Herma's lips. "Will you shed a tear for me, only one, if I die for you," said Edgar, "and if I avenge you and kill him—" "No, Edgar, you must not sacrifice yourself, not you—" "Must that villain be left unpunished?" "Certainly not," she replied tranquilly and firmly. "Then let me kill him," said Edgar, with trembling lips. "No," said Herma, "leave him to me." The next day Prince Maniasko was sitting in the charming little boudoir of his bride and rolling a cigarette for her, when the Princess, with a mocking smile, expressed her wish to see once the celebrated lion-tamer who was so much admired by everybody. "How can such an idea come into your head?" said the Prince, and the cigarette trembled in his hands, and the yellow tobacco shipped from between his white fingers. "I have heard so many marvels about this person that I have taken it into my CURE FOR!

He adds that, treatment is only suitable that appears probable such simple aromatic ger and encalytus prevent an attack coryza, we consider discovery has been cannot be too widely HERMA, THE LION-TAMER, It was in the beginning of the year 1859 when the famous Harsberg menagerie came to Bucharest for the first time. All the town was in a state of great excitement about the number and rarity of the animals, the beauty of the lions, and, above all, about the tamer, who performed some remarkable feats of strength. Herma Dalstrem was her name; she was a young Swede, beautiful, distinguished, bold and unapproachable. It is true that she was supposed to be the mistress of the owner of the menagerie; but the rich Boyards who lavished homage upon her in order to win her good graces were met only by a cold politeness and a sarcastic haughtiness which drove them away. She lived with the Harsberg family at the first hotel in the town, went to the menagerie and returned from it in a carriage, like a lady of high degree; received no visits and was never seen alone either in the street or anywhere else. This vestal severity puzzled the gallants as well as the ordinary mortals, so that the Swedish lion-tamer soon became as popular at Bucharest as La Catalani and Lola Montez. One night Prince Maniasko, the spoiled child of the ladies of Bucharest, who had just returned from an excursion to Paris, came to the menagerie. He reviewed the different animals in company with some friends, was highly amused by the explanations and by the feeding, and at last stopped before the lion cage awaiting the arrival of the celebrated Swede with a skeptical smile on his lips. Suddenly a little door opened in the back part of the cage and Herma appeared in the midst of frantic applause. She throw off with an indescribable movement of pride the large silk cloak that covered her, and advanced into the cage dressed in a costume of white satin bordered with ermine, a whip in her hand, tall, slender, with the noblest face in the world, to which her golden curls and her fresh color imparted an irresistible grace. The Prince was at once fascinated; he followed each of her movements with feverish agitation. His heart beat when she placed her pretty head in the terrible lion's mouth, and he trembled, half for pleasure, half for fear, when she beamed with trembling lips. "No," said Herma, "leave him to me." The next day Prince Maniasko was sitting in the charming little boudoir of his bride and rolling a cigarette for her, when the Princess, with a mocking smile, expressed her wish to see once the celebrated lion-tamer who was so much admired by everybody. "How can such an idea come into your head?" said the Prince, and the cigarette trembled in his hands, and the yellow tobacco slipped from between his white fingers. "I have heard so many marvels about this person that I have taken it into my head to be present at one of her performances, and that, too, this evening, and in your company, Prince." When Herma entered the cage that evening she saw Maniasko, and at his side a ravishing creature who fixed her opera-glass upon her in a provoking manner. She felt it, and started, but only for a single moment, and then began her feats with the lions with her accustomed haughty coolness. When, after a successful feat, she reclined on the back of one of the big lions, while the others walked round her in procession, the Princess cried loudly, "Bravo," and throw a purse of gold into the cage. A murmur of disapproval rose from among the spectators. Herma began to tremble, and tears flowed from her beautiful eyes; she lost empire over herself and the animals that surrounded her; the big lion raised his head, looked at her with astonishment, and suddenly gripped her left arm. A cry of horror sprung from a hundred months, but Herma had already recovered herself; a look and a command, and the lion loosened her arm; she sprung up, seized the breast by the mane, placed her foot on him, and lashed him until he was completely subjected and lay docile at her feet. Enthusiastic applause and shouts of approbation rewarded her courage. "When will the wedding take place?" she asked of Edgar, when she had left the cage. "The day after to morrow." "Will you undertake to give him a letter yourself, and to him in person?" "If you command me." "I beg you do so!" Herma pressed Edgar's hand, but he seized hers and covered it with kisses. The next morning the lion-tamer wrote to the Prince. She wished to see him only once more, and begged him to come to the menagerie at the usual hour, promising in return to leave Bucharest on the day of his wedding. Edgar gave the letter to the Prince himself, who read it, smiled, and said: "I will come." An hour before midnight the Prince appeared at the little back door of the menagerie; it opened noiselessly as usual. Herma appeared, dressed in a short fur jacket, in the pale light of the stars and the snow. She took him by hand and led him cautiously along the dark passage. As usual a second door grated on its hinges, and Herma, leading the Prince into that completely dark space, put her arms round his neck and kissed him with a savage tenderness. Then she suddenly disappeared; the door was shut violently, and the Prince's foot touched something living which equally fortunate resided with trembling lips. "No," said Herma, "leave him to me." The next day Prince Maniasko was sitting in the charming little boudoir of his bride and rolling a cigarette for her, when the Princess, with a mocking smile, expressed her wish to see once the celebrated lion-tamer who was so much admired by everybody.

The Prince was at once fascinated; he followed each of her movements with feverish agitation. His heart beat when she placed her pretty head in the terrible lion's mouth, and he trembled, half for pleasure, half for fear, when she began to harangue the disobedient animals and kick and flog them. Hardly had Herma left the cage when the Prince Maniasko was bowing down before her while she put on her cloak with the aid of Edgar, Harsberg's son, a young man of remarkable beauty. She fixed her blue eyes, astonished and almost frightened, upon that ideal of a beautiful, almost feminine figure; she did not reply to his questions proudly and coldly, but with embarrassment and with a smile of indescribable sweetness. The Prince came every night, and Herma received him not only with affability, but she even looked for him with a rapid glance as soon as she entered the cage, and when she left it she stamped her foot if the Prince was not there to help her on with her cloak. But that was all the Prince could obtain, and the more intractable she showed herself to his prayers, the more he was urged on by a diabolic desire to possess her. An unexpected rival came to his aid. Edgar said to Herma one night with a trembling voice before she entered the cage, "Up till now I thought you were my father's mistress, and I have not spoken; now I tell you, I love you, and I will never consent to your lowering yourself with that Boyard who is already allanced to a Princess, and who is only making sport of you." When the Prince came to see her after the performance, she said to him in a whisper, "Is it true that you have a fiancée?" "It is true," he replied, "but as soon as you please I will put an end to that tiresome romance and prostrate myself at your feet as your slave." "But you do not love me." "How must I prove that I love you?" She drew herself up before him. "Come an hour before midnight to the little door of the menagerie," she said in a low voice and with courageous resolution. An hour before midnight the Prince appeared at the little back door of the menagerie; it opened noiselessly as usual. Herma appeared, dressed in a short fur jacket, in the pale light of the stars and the snow. She took him by hand and led him cautiously along the dark passage. As usual a second door grated on its hinges, and Herma, leading the Prince into that completely dark space, put her arms round his neck and kissed him with a savage tenderness. Then she suddenly disappeared; the door was shut violently, and the Prince's foot touched something living which moved. What was it? Had she not as usual led him into her little salon? A moment afterward a bright red light appeared. Herma fixed a torch in a ring in front of the lions' cage, and in the midst of the prison, in the midst of the lions, was the Prince. Herma stood with her arms folded before the bars, and fixed the Prince coldly with her large blue eyes; a diabolic smile played on her lips. The Prince, with a rapid movement, tried to open the door, but in vain. "In heaven's name, Herma, what is your intention?" "I am celebrating my marriage with you, and my lions are to be the wedding guests." "Are you mad?" "I am in full possession of my senses. You have betrayed me. I have condemned you to death. Now work my friends! en avant!" And she woke up the sleeping lions and excited them with her whip, while the Prince cried for help. But his cries were drowned by the wintry storms. The lions, irritated and encouraged by Herma's cries, sprung upon him. His blood was already flowing. He supplicated and defended himself desperately, while she, her face leaning against the cold bars, feasted her eyes on his mortal anguish. Some time had passed before the lions had finished their horrible work. When the Prince lay dead on the floor of the den, the lions slunk away frightened, and began to lick their bloody paws. That very night the beautiful lion-tamer disappeared from Bucharest, and has never been heard of since. A Monster scale bug, which lays myriads of eggs has been found on the olive trees in this part of the State. Entomologists are busy investigating their character for the purpose of devising a remedy. We understand that this pest is particularly numerous in the olive groves of Santa Barbara. CURE FOR COLDS. We published some time ago, in this magazine, a paragraph upon bronchitis, the result of some experiments made by a gentleman upon himself, and which his medical attendant said, jocularly, constituted a fraud upon the profession. This gentleman, who was subject to attacks of acute bronchitis, succeeded in warding them off by observing the precautions against catching cold, but especially by chewing a small piece of ginger whenever he was obliged to go out of doors on a cold day. Since he had adopted the plan of keeping a piece of ginger in his mouth while out of doors, he had never had an attack of bronchitis, either winter or summer. A very similar result has been obtained in coryza by an Italian gentleman, R. Radolf, which makes us believe more in the above-mentioned ginger than we felt at first inclined to do. The case is related in a recent number of the Gazetta Medica Italiana, and the substance used was not ginger, but encalyptus. Dr. Radolf, being seized with a severe attack of coryza—or, in other terms, a very bad cold in the head—happened to chew one or two twigs of the encalyptus, at the same time swallowing the saliva secreted, which had a bitter aromatic flavor. To his surprise, he found that, in the course of half an hour, the nasal catarrh had disappeared. Some days later the same person was seized with another attack, when the same treatment was followed by an equally fortunate result. The author then prescribed this simple remedy to several of his patients, all of whom were benefited in the same way. He adds that, in his opinion, this treatment is only suitable to acute cases. That appears probable enough; but, if such simple aromatic substances as ginger and encalyptus will cut short or prevent an attack of bronchitis or coryza, we consider that a very useful discovery has been made, and that it cannot be too widely known. — Monthly NOTICE OF ASSESSMENT.

STRANGE SENSATIONS. Conductor A. S. Parker, of the Grand Trunk railroad, who resides in Battle Creek, Mich., by an accident lost a leg and an arm at Stillwell Station. The members, severed from the body, were left lying by the side of the track, while the body was immediately conveyed to South Bend for medical assistance. As soon as he recovered consciousness he began to complain that his right arm was in a cramped condition. His attendant, knowing his arm was many miles away by the side of the railroad track, paid no attention to his complaints, thinking him out of his head. He still continued his assertions that the fingers of his right arm were doubled under his hand, and asked his assistants to send and get his arm at Stillwell. By his speech they saw that he realized the accident, and a telegram was sent to Stillwell to send the mutilated arm to its owner. The request was carried out, and the arm sent to him by express. So soon as it was taken up of the ground, a few moments after the telegram was sent, Parker remarked to his assistants that his arm was all right now, that they had picked it up. Every time a person took hold of it along the route Parker would speak of it, and cry out with pain when it was roughly handled; and whenever any of his attendants touched it while it lay in the next room to him he knew it as quickly as though the arm were still attached to his body. The messenger who got the arm said that he found it just as Parker had said it was, with the fingers cramped under it. This is one of the most singular yet well-authenticated cases on record, where a man could feel in an arm which was cut off and lay many miles from him, and which had been cut off many hours. The physicians are baffled to account for it, and can only class it under the head of the unexplainable phenomenal mysteries which are met with in the study of nature. Sixty Yards of Rattlesnakes.

Commodore Joseph de Stephenson, well known all over the Western continent, and now a resident of Antelope Creek, Arizona, informs us that at one time he lived on roasted barley for seventeen days, without other food save two doves and an occasional rattlesnake. He has killed, since his advent to Antelope, rattlesnakes whose skins he has retained, which, when stretched out, will measure sixty yards. The Commodore has a long stick with a crotch on one end, between which he has fixed a thong, with which he captures these little pets by pushing the fork over the neck, holding the snakes secure until he decapitates them. He tells us that, after skinning the snake he cuts the meat up into slices three to four inches long, puts it into salt water for a few hours, when he takes it out and fries it in hot lard until it turns to a brown color when it is ready for the table, and is unsurpassed by any meat in the world. Prescott (Arizona) Miner. Protection for Trees. Trees, shrubs and roses should be protected by putting long straw around the body and branches, tied well with cord, so as to prevent growth in the month of March, or warm weather toward spring. In this country the cold weather after a commencement of growth destroys more trees and roses than colder weather in the earlier part of winter. Those who observe the above directions will be very certain to keep their trees and shrubbery alive, and it is only a few minutes' work in proportion to the investment. Trees recently set are not in so much danger from severe cold weather as the sudden changes, and protection until acclimated is absolutely necessary.
