THE LITTLE MAID.
'‘Little mud, azure-eyed,
Tell me, where may you abide?”
"Down by the running water,” she said:
"For l am the miller’s daughter,” rfhe said.
"Little maid, it 1 may ask it.
Tell me what is in your basket ?”
“I have been hunting with Love,” said she,
"And these arc the hearts he has killed for
me.”
"Little maid, if your lips Were kissed,
Not a rose leaf would be missed.”
"Ob, you are a pretty man !” she said :
'‘And may kiss me if you can,” she said.
Now, why did the maiden,- azure-eyed,
Run blindly down to the water side—
When she must have known, Ihe silly lass,
That the bridge wn« down, and she could
not pass ?
Then why to the field did the maiden fly—
Wlieu she surely knew that the fence was
high ?
Then why did the maiden run to the wood —
When she knew that the trees so thickly
stood
That a i alibi t could scarce pass In and out ?
And why did she stand, and smile, and pout ?
Ah me I and must the truth be told ?
Another heart does the basket hold I

Education South.—The Boston Post
:has published a series on "Colleges and
Schools at the South,” which concludes ns
follows i
“In reviewing the subject of education
in the Southern States, we arrive at this
general result: That the scattered condi
rinn nf tho nennli. i* iinfm-m-alilo to ihe
very general prevalence of the common
school system, such ns prevail in New
England. Private schools are more gen
eral in the South than any other portion of
the world ; and as to the higher seminn
Vies Of learning, if she is net now an equal
to the North, she soon will be. And, then,
the education she acquires from social in
tercourse may outweigh all the reol in
structions imparted through the lyccurn
system.
At the present time, the South is more
‘active in improving her educational system
than the North. At her recent cominer
'cial conventions the subject lias been free
ly discussed, and the general view has
been taken that her sons and daughters
should be educated at home, and not at
the North. The Southerners not only pro
pose to furnish themselves with education,
but with school-books. The last have
been, very generally, procured from the
North. The South has been accustomed
to pay the North for school-books and ed
ucation $>5,000,000 annually. But she is
now endeavoring to manufacture both
school-books and education for her own
children.
