LIFE LEAVES.

The day. with its sandals dipped in dew,
Has passed through, the evenings golden gates:
And single star in the cloudiess blue
For the rising moon in silence waits;
" lille the winds that sigh to the languid hours
lullaby breathe DER the folded flowers.
The lilies nod to the sound of the stream
That winds along with iulling flow
And. either awake or half in a dream
pass through the realms of Long Ago;
While faces peer with many a smile
From the bowers of Memory's magic isle.
There are joys and sunshine sorrows and tears,
That check the path of LIES April hours
And a longing wish for the coming years.
ihat Hope ever wreathes with the fairest flowers:
There are friendships guileless-love as bright
And pure as the stars in the halls of night
There are asheu memories bitter pain
And buried hopes of broken vow
And an aching heart by the restless inain
And the sea-breeze tanning Pallid brow;
And a wanderer on the shell-lined shore,
Listening for voices that speak no more
There are passions strong. ambitious wild,
And the fierce desire 10 stand in the van
vi the battle of lie-and the heart of the child
Is crushed in the brea.t Of struggling man;
But short the regrets and few the tears
ihat fail at the tomb of the vsnquished years.
There's quiet and peace. and domestic love,
And joys arising from faith and truth
And.a love unauestioning, far above
The passionate dreaming ofardent youth:
And kisses Of children on lip and cheek
And the parents bliss, which tongue can speak
There are loved ones lost there are little graves
In the dismal dell, meath protecting trees
Where the streamlet winds and the violet waves
And the grasses sway to the signing breeze
And we mourn for the pressure of tender lips
And the light of eyes darkened in deaths eclipse
And thus, as the glow of daylight dl IS,
And the nights first look to the alth is cast

At the pictures that hang the wall of the past,

The Noble Revenge.

| The coffin was plain one-a poor,
miserable pine coffin. No flowers on its
top, no lining of the rosewhite satin for
| the pale brow; no smooth ribbons about
the coarse shroud The brown hair was
laid decently back, but there was the
crimped cap. with its tie beneath the
chin. The sufferer from cruel poverty
smiled in her sleep; she has found bread,
rest and health.

poor child, as the city undertaken screw

the hopeless, helpless orphan, clutching

tears streamed rapidly down the cheeks,
on which no childish bloom ever fingered.
Oh it was pitiful to hear him cry,
Only once, let me see my mother only
| once.
Quickly and brutally the hard hearted
monster struck the boy away so that he
reeled from the blow. For moment
the boy stood painting with grief and rage,
his blue eyes distended his lips sprang
apart, fire glittered through his tears,
as he raised his puny arm, and with a
most unchildish accent screamed, "When

a JAPANESE FRoLIc Two Japanese
troops OF acrobats who are performing in
New Orleans, lately had re union at one
of the hotels, and while seated at the
festive board lndulged freely in strong
American liquors The result was very
comlcal scene, as described by the Re
publican:
''One after the other partook Of the
flowing bowl, till the novel sensations of
an American drunk heated their brains
and disturbed their faculties At length
one OF the most aged and venerable of
the party, under the influence of the
fiery liquid lii his stomach, fell back on
the foor-drunk. The shouts that went
up as he went down were unusual-were
terrific! The ever courteous landlord
astonlshed at the noise, rushed into his
dining room only to become the spectator
to startling scene. One of the guests
had mounted the table and was tossing
dozen dinner plates into the air and was
catching and tossing them again as they
fell. Another was whirling the biggest
platter OF steak on bis little finger; others

tonlshlng leaps over tables and chairs
all this to the music of startling shrieks
and strange chattering in unheard of
tongues.
A frightened waiter ran for the police,
and the festive Japs subsided into "a less
roysterous condition. By the next night
they had recovered from the effects of
Mclean man s whiskee,' and perform

Hold Oh Devil.

In the early days of the state Of indi-
anna, the capitol was Corydoc, and the
annual session of the General Assembly
usually brought together as wild set Of
wags as could be found in the State, who
had to rely on their resources for amuse-
ment, for there were then few theaters.
concerts or shows The lovers d MS
vsn:af had established a mock Masonic
Lodge, into which they would entice such
as were little green, and, take them
through a variety of ridiculous ceremo-
MES, 10 the Infinite amusement of the
crowd
On one of these occasions, it being I'M
derstood that good natured, athletic
young man, about half Il simpleton, was
to be initiated, the room was crowded,
Judge Grass ut being character in
which he was peculiarly happy consented
to act the role of devil; and to make the
service more impressive, had put ON Il
| false face and a large paper cap, sur
mounted with horns, and with some
| chains in his hand placed himself behind
a screen.
After taking the candidate through a
variety OF ceremonies, he was brought to
a stand before the screen and told that
he had to confess all crimes he had com
mitted during his whole life. The candi-
date confessed some trivial offenses, and
declared that he could recollect no more.
At this the Judge came from behind
the screen groaned and shook the chains.
The frightened candidate related some
more small matters, and declared he had
disclosed all the crimes he had committed.
At this the groans of the pretended devil
became furious, the chains ratified and he
shook his horns in the face Of the terrih
ed candidate, who starting back in alarm
cried out
''H-hold on Nm mister D d-devil, if
m-must tell you, | d d did k-kiss Judge
q grass wife a c-couple of s-times!"
The grooming ceased and the devil dis
appeared.

should make all the advances and do
all the hard work. "A monomsniac
who could not get noticed at home,
