.POETRY A LA MODE.

In a poet's hand a flower lay,

It was a violet so blue.

It chanced a Lady passed that way

To clasp her hands and gently say,— "How lovely is its hue."

The poet smiled and went his way.

He met my Lady's maid

And showed her where the violets lay,-
That she might pluck, at break of day,-
And wear them as he bade.

My Lady's maid was up betimes,

The violets in her hair;

And while she read my Lady rhymes,

My Lady saw them forty times,—

Yet knew not they were there.

LOVE'S PRESCRIPTION.

She was merry little witch,

Of family most patrician,

The belle of all the watering-place,

I was a young physician.

-Harvard Advocate.

'Twas chance that brought me to her side

That day—I'll ne'er forget it.

A slip, a tiny ankle sprained,

And I called in to set it.

I very soon forgot to wear
My doctor's mien imperious.

I called upon her thrice a day,
(For sprains are often serious).
Her merry eyes had made a wound
In my poor heart to rankle,
And so I still kept up my calls-
To ask about the ankle.

She owned one day she felt so strange,

Could I prescribe a tonic?

She did not sleep, was oft depressed.

Oh, was it something chronic?

She wasn't like herself at all,

What made her feel so altered? -"Perhaps a doctor's constant care?"But here I blushed and faltered.

Then growing bolder: "Love," I cried.

"Can cure all youth's disorders."

She shyly said: I put myself

Beneath my doctor's orders."

MEMORY

DISCOVERY AND TRAINING METHOD

In spite of adulterated imitations which miss the theory, and practical results of the Original, in spite of the grossest misrepresentations by envious would-be competitors, and in spite of base attempts to rob" him of the fruit of his labors, (all of which demonstrate the undoubted superiority and popularity of his teaching), Prof. Loisette's Art of Never Forgetting is recognized to-day in both Hemispheres as marking an Epoch in Memory Culture. His Prospectus (sent post free) gives opinions of people in all parts of the globe who have actually studied his System by correspondence, showing that his System is used only while being studied, not afterwards; that any book can be learned in a single reading, mind-wandering cured, &c.
