THE CHILD OF CARE. (TRANSLATED FROM HARDER.) Care sat by a murmuring stresmlst,
And as her dark thoughts did stray, Her fingers, following her musings,
Fashioned an image of clay,
"What hast thou there, Goddess so thought-
ful f
Asked Zeus, as he passed that way. "Only a little olay image,
Breathe life in it, Father, I pray."
"Well, then, let it live-it liveth;
Now mine shall this creature be?" Ah no cried Care, beseeching,
"Great Father, pray leave it me "From the alay did my fingers form it."
And as they disputed possession,
Goddess Earth chanced to pass that way. 'Tis mino," cried Earth, "from my bosom
Was-fashioned this imago so fair." "Luckily," says Zeus, here's Saturn,
Let him be the arbiter."
But I pat life in the clay."
A part to each of yon," Saturn-
Decided-"So High Fato saith: Thou, Zeus, who the life has given, Shall claim the spirit in death.
Thine, Earth, the remains are only,
For more thou canst not claim; And thine, Care, the mother,
Be the being while burne life's flame.
"So long as he breathes, full surely,
Thy child thou wilt never leave; And, like thine, his days of labour Shall cease but with the grave."
And Fate's decreos are accomplished
That image-Man, made from the sod, In life belongs to Sorrow,
In death to the Earth and God.
UNDER THE VIOLETS.
Her hands are old; her face is white;
No more her-pulses come and go; Her eyes are shut to life and light
Fold the white vestures, snow on snowy And-1

But not beneath a graven stone,
To plead for tears with alien eyes; Allender cross of wood alone
Stall say that hore a maiden lies In peace beneath the peaceful skiss.
And gray old trees of hagest limb
Shall wheel their oiroling shadowed round,, To make the aproning sunlight dim,
That drinks the greenness from the ground; And drop their doad leaves on her mound, When o'er the bought the squirrels runj
And through their leaves the robina qull," And, ripening in the autumn sun,
The acorns and the chestnuts fall, Doubt nos that she will heed them all.
To hor the morning choir shell sing
Its matins froin the branches high, And every minstrel-voice of spring,
That trills beneath the April sky, Shall greet her with the earliest ory. When, turning round their dial track,
Eastward the lengthening shadowe pas, Her little, mourners, clad in bluch.
The crickets, sliding through the grass," Shall pipe for her an evening mass. At last the rootlets of the treen
Shall find the prison where she lies, And bear the buried dust they seize
In leaves and blossoms to the skies, So may the soul that warmed it rise!
If any, born of kindlier blood,
Should ask, What maiden hien below? Say only this: A tender bud,
That tried to blossom in the snow, Lies withered where the violets blow. -Oliver-Fendall Holmes.

Vory woll, Mr Webster. The intima tion of the Commissioner is, however, of itself all-potent with me, although I hoped to be concerned in no more such investiga- tions.

I may tell you,' added, opening the note. book from which I am now transcribing, and placing it before me in readiness to begin: I may tell you, by way of some slight encouragement, that the defence you volunteered at the police-office was, in my spialon, too improbable to be an invention and I, as you know, have had large experi ance in sudi matters. That also, I suspect, is Mr Button's opinion; and hence not only hia refusal fox prosecute, but the expanse and trouble he has been at, to my know- ladys, in preventing either his own or your name from appearing in the papers.
