Then onward winged Us flight. Another lip caught up a word, And breathed it with a haughty sneer; It gathered weight, as on it sped, That careless word, in its career. Then rumor caught the flying word, .knd busy gossip gave it weight, Until that little word became A vehicle of angry hate. And then that word wag winged with Are, Its mission was a th'ng of p a in ,; For soon i t fell like lava drops Upon a wildly tortnrod brain. And 4hen another page of life With burning, scalding tears was blurred A load of care was heavier mode, Its added weight, that careless word. That careless word, oh 1 how i t scorched A fainting, bleeding, quivering heart I ‘Twas like a hungry fire, that searched Through every tender, vital part. How wildly throbbed that aching heart I Deep agony its fountain stirred ; It calmed, but bitter ashes mark The pathway of that careless word.

I t was given in honor of the evacuation of Boston by the B rit ish. On one side is a fine medallion pro file of Washington, and on the reverse he and his staflT are grouped on Bunker's Hill, while the British fleet is seen moving down the hay. I t contains $ 180 worth of gold. It is said that it is in good preservation and that five thousand dol-' lars have been already offered for it. — Cool One.— A Danish offfber was making observations in regard to the de viations oi rifle bullets. One day when walking on the ramparts at Duppel, he saw a Prussian sharpshooter takiilg aim at him. While the soldier placed him self against a tree, in order to take a steadier aim, the officer raised his glass to watch the movements. “This is all right,” said he ; “the musket is just on a line with my breast—we shall s e e !’' The trigger was pulled, and the Dane quietly wrote down : “At the distance of about 500 yards the deviation o f a ball from a rifle musket is about one metre.” MISCELLANY. A C hild ' s PAiTH.-“-In the Highlands Ilf Scotland there is a mountain gorge iwenty feet in width and two hundred eet in depth. Its perpendicular walls ire bare of vegetation, save in the crev- I, in which grow numerous wild flow- b f rare beauty. Desirous of obtain ing specimens of these mountain beauties, scientific tourist once offered a Highland boy a hand some gift if he would consent to be lowered down the cliff by a rope and gather a little bosket full. The boy looked wistfully at the money, for his parents were poor, but wheu he gazed at the yawning chasm he shuddered, shrank back, and declined. But filial love was strong within him ; after another glance at the gift and at the terrible fissure, his heart grew strong. 4nd his eye flashed, and he said:—“I — F hesch bathino costume . —The ladies of France, are already busying themselves about the sea-bathing cos tumes, and have come to the conclusion that a.‘perfectly tight dress will bo most convenient and healthy, and if in variega ted colors wil 1 look most picturesque.— We suppose this fashion will be intro duced at Newport, Long Branch, and, other of our watering-places, this season. if my father will hold the rope.” And then with unshrinking nerves and A.

It was a daring deed, but his faith in the strength of his father’s arm and the love o f ’his father’s Jheart gave him courage and power to perform. G retna G reen .— Few * clandestine matches terminate happily, and Gretna Green matches are proverbially unfortu nate. The latter are now abolished by act o f Parliament, and novelists have lost one more favorite means of getting their heroines into trouble or out of it, as exigencies o f their plols demanded. By the act referred to, it is provided that “no irregular marriage contract in Scot land by declaration, acknowledgement or ceremony shall be valid, unless one of the parties had, at the date thereo^his or her usual place of residence therh, or had lived in Scotland twenty-one days next preceding such marriage.” If the'oddities, antiquities and excre- sencesof the British system he subjected to this continual clipping, it will becomi as “straight up and down” as a hew Yan kee hoHse.
