Merrily, mournfuly, pattering still,
Failing like dew on the flowers
Singing and signing, and moaning at will,
Falleth the rain all the hours
Dancing so merrily over the caves,
Falling, like muSic's refrain
Hiding its gems in the heart of the leaves,
Merrily falleth the rain.
Falling falling cheerily still,
II kisses the lilly'S white breast;
Over the meadows it wanderS at WILL
Lulling the blue.bclS 10 rest.
Merrilv, cheerily falleth the rain
Over the country and town
Like the soft murmur of musics refrain,
The fairy like rain cometh down.
The rain. the rain, the beautiful rain,
Sadly and swectly it falls;
To the souls of the dead where the grass groweth
grecu.
In sweet spirit voices it calls;
II makes, with its murmurS OF beautiful grlei
The flowers to blow Oer each head,
And by its sweet treasures of rosebud and leaf
Makes lovely the home of the dead.
The rain. the rain the beautiful ran
The merrilv, mournfuliy failing,
The echo Of footsteps that fall not again,
Strange voices TO earth ever calling,
The whisper of magic that mGketh thc buds
In beauty and fr;ty to glow;

ALABAMA MASHERS.-In 1914, Henry
CLAW, whose name is still revercd at the
North, was a member of the Wing Con-
vention at Baltimore. Of course all the
delegates paid their respects to Mr.. Clay,
and one evening, while the great states
man was receiving company, the door
opened, and fine siX-foot man entered,
uuannounced. The stranger was fashion,
ably, but somewhat astonishingly dressed,
in a green sporting coat with buttons
somewhat smaller than the rim of our hat
ii bright scarlet plaid vest, divided into
square Of eight by ten, with buff cordu-
roy combinations. This. astonishingly
"eftigy" was chung in chains of every
style, and wore at his fob pendant seal,
about the size of steel-yard poise. On
his head was four foot Panama" and
from an outlandish pocket modestly pro-
truded package, bearing the magic word
Highlander" balanced upon the other
side by pistol from the arinory Of Colt.
This surprising person, after reaching
the center of the room, paused and took
leisurely survey of those present, and
singing out Mr.. Clay (who could mistake
him y walked up to hlm and pronounced
the single word -
Clay"
Yes" was the reply of the statesman.
III. Clay"
The same sir"
Il came from Alabama on purpose to
see you, but don't put yourself out on my
account. You are great man, sir, and
when am home l am some; in fact, I
often tell our boys that Clay and l are
bound to shine, or else what do we live
for: Your line and mine are little diff
ferent, but we are both pretty near the
head. In fact, Hank, what's the use of
being fellow, unless you can be a buster
Henry, good evening"" and the Alabama
man took his departure, leaving Mr.. Clay
overpwered with astoniShmentatt at the mans
impudence.

Hooks PRACTICAL JOKE. - All Of
Hooks escapadeS were fairly eclipsed by
the famous Berners street hoax, which
created such a sensation in London i'll
1909. BY dispatching several thousands
of letters to innumerable quarters, he COM
pletely blocked up the entrances to the
street, by an assemblage of the most he
terogenous kind. The parties written to
had been requested to call on Il certain
day at the house of lady residing at No.
56 Berncrs street, against whom Hook
and one or two of his friends had con-
ceived a grudge. So successful was the
the trick that nearly all obeyed the sum-
mons. Coal wagons heavily laden, carts
of upholstery, vans with pianos and
other articles, wedding and funeral
coaches, all rumbled through and filled
up the adioing streets and lanes sweeps
assembled with the implements Of their
trade; tailors with clothes that had been
ordered, pastry cooks with wedding
cakes; undertakers with cofIins fish
mongers with cod-fshs, and butchers
with legs of mutton. There were sur
CONS with their instruments; lawyers
with their books and devotion. Such
Babel was never heard before in London;
and. to complete the business, who should
drive up but the lord mayor in his carri-
age, the governor of the Bank of England,
the cairman of the East Indian Company.
and even scion of royalty itself, i'll the
person of the Duke of Gloucester. Hook
and his confederateS were meantime en-
joyiny the fun from a window in the
neighborhood, but the CONSERVATION Oc-
caSioned to the poor lady who had been
made the victim of the Jest was nearly
becoming too serious matter. He never
avowed himself as the originator Of the
trick, though there is no doubt of his
being the prime actor in it. 1t was made
the subject of a soleman investigation by
many Of the parties who had been dupcd,
but so carefully had the precautions been
taken to avoid detection that the enquiry
proved entirely fruitlcsS.

singular ResEornIIon Of speech.

About four months ago, soldier by the
name Of George Lucas, who belonged to
the 18th Virginia Infantry, and who re-
sides in Harrison county, was attacked
with violent fever which it was thought
would result in his death. The soldier,
however, partially recovered, but with the
loss Of all power Of speech. He had not
spoken word for more than three months,
until one day last week he was coming
west on the Baltimore and Ohio railraad,
in company with relative, who had gone
to fetch him home. Near Grafton, the
cars ran off the track with great shock.
Lucas jumped out Of car window upon
the ground, and, as he did 80, yelled Justify
to his relative to look out for the baggage,
Since that time Lucas has been able, to
the surprise Of all his friends, to speak as
well as ever WhssliRg Intslligeneer.

The capture Of this nest Of treason is
.sl5 still progressing with the usull dramatic
interest Indeed ever since secession
~ began that village has been source of
80 great anxiety both in Tebeldom and Yam
.-. kee land. We have passed through SO
nahy painful transitions from hope to
fear that we are now in the position Of q
most comfortable equsnimity. Our per-
s0nal feelings now make it matter Of
small importance whether Charleston
gracefully surrenders in the year Of our
Lord, 1864, or sdiourns the case until
1900.
A few days ago, according to the ire
Eponsible wires, Providence came gener-
ously to the assistance of Gilmore, by
means Of storm that cleaned the harbor
Of all distractions, and all the Iron
sides and monitors had to do was to sail
right past Sumter and make the rebel city
eapjtulate. The country waited only to
hear that the monitors and Ironsides are
in q bad hx. Now sgain hey are no
longer in fix. General Gilmore is now
dOOtOring the city on the maxim sirsiEia
simiibus eurantsuT. He is genuine home.

pills Of Greek FIRE to the delighted Charles

We must confess that the taking Of
Charleston Is getting to be the great na-

have been sgreesbly disappointed in the
appearance Of the monks and priests in

ype of monk-rOund, fat, worldly. In |
switzerland and in Northern Italy the
General impression produced upon me by
ne priests has been highly favorable to
