A LITERARY CURIOSITY.

THE following remarkable poem is from the pen Of
Mrs II A. Deming. The reader will notice chat each
line is quotation from of the standard au
thors Of England and America. This is the result OF
years laborous search among the volumnous writer's
of the past and present The number of each line re-
fers to its author below
why all this toll for triumphs and honors
2-Lifes short summer, man flower;
BY turns we catch the vital breath and die
4-The cradle and the tomb alas so nigh.
5-To be is better far than not to be.
Though a mans life may seem tragedy.
Butt light speak when mighty griefs dumb;
s-The bottom is but shallow whence they come.
9Your fate is Int the common fate of all,
lo-Umiugled joys, here, to no man bsfa
ll-Nsture to each allots his proper sphere,
l2-Fortune makes folly her peculiar care
l3-Custom does not often reason override
l4-And throw cruel sunshine on a fool.
15-Live we'll how long or short permit, to heaven
l6-fhey who forgive most, shall be most forgiven.
l7-Sin may be clasped close its face
1S-Vile intercourse where virtue has not place
l9-Then keep each passion down. however dear,
29-Thou pendulum, betwixt smile and tear;
2l-Her sensual let faithlessp pleasure lay.
22-With craft and skill, TO ruin and betray.
23-Soar not too high to fall, but stoOp TO rise;
24-We masters grow OF all that despise.
25-oh then renOuuee that impous selfesteem
26-Riches have wings and grandeur is a dream.
27-Think not ambition wise, because It's brave,
2S-The paths Of glory lead but to the grave
29-What is ambition? IT'S glorious cheat.
'0-0nly destructive to the brave and great.
'l-Whats all the CANDY glitter Of crown?
52-The way to bliss lies not on beds of down.
I3-How long we live, not words but actions tell
I4-That man lives twice who lives the first life we'll
35Make then, while yet We may your God your friend
3o-Whom Christians worship, yet not comprehend.
87The trust that's given guard and YOU rsefbe just
S5-For, live We how We can, yet die we must.

the proposed extension of the Minis

This road would be link in a
great north and south line from Lake
Superior to New Orleans, connecting
at Tomah with the West Wisconsin
Railway, which is under contract, to
ST. Croix. On the south the Mineral
Point Railroad would connects it with
the Illinois Central. The proposed
road would pass through Iowa, Rich

would have the choice of the Mil

asA-The Pope, in his birthday adj
dress, complains that the tendency
Of the day is to revolution with So
cialism in its suite, condemning and
denying religion, morality, and
God himself" The remedy is for
''sovereigns to adopt the good prin>
ciples of the Papacy." Then they
would "fnd it easy for them to gov
ern their people" We cannot, how
ever, help remembering that the
Pope himself was the hope Of Italy
only when, in the enthusiasm of his
accession, he rose superior to the
traditional policy of the Vatican
only before he began to be swayed
by reactionary terrors. Nor does
history indicate that monarchs who
have been the most Catholic have
been peculiarly assiduous in promote
ing the happiness Of their people.
More than half the Kings and Queens
now out of business have, we be-
liev0, been very good servants of the
Roman Church. The theory Of Plus
TX does mt fully tally with the facts.
