Taco Ways to Lire ora Earth.
There are two ways to live OH earth
Two "ays to judge-tu Hct-so view
For all things here have double birth
right AMI wrong-a false aud true.
Give mr. the home where kindness seeks
To make that sweet which meth small
Where every lip in toudness speaks,
And every mind has care for all.
Whose inmates live in glad exchange
OF PLEASURES free from vain expense;
Whose thought beyond their medud ne cr range;
Nor wise denials give offence.
Who in a neighbor's fortune find
No wisi-no impuse-to complain;
Who feels not-never frlt-the mind
To envy yet another's gain.
Who dream not Of the mock Ing tide
Ambition f,ed rndeavnr meets
The hitter gangs Of wounded pride,
Nor fallen Power that shuns tn. streets.
Though fate lie ~ its glittering stare.
Loves wealth is still the wealth to choose;
For all tsat man can purchase moro
Are sands il is no loss to lose
Some beings whercsO'sr thsy g0,
Find nanght to plesse. or to eSGIt-
Their constant stuly but tD show
Perpetual mnlcs of finding fault.
While others In their ceaseless round
Ofdaly wants and daily care,
Can yet Gull flowers from common ground
And twice enjoy the joy they share.
Oh happy they who happy mako
Who BILE sing, still lhemse' YES are b!estl
Who something spare for others sake
And etrive in all thing; for the best!

A ssmaaabalie Rxsus~iss.
A young man, connected with the
river, but who for sometime past has
made his headquarters In Cairo, appear
ed on the streets, Saturday night, In
state Of dishabiilc that ut once attracted
the attention Of persons who happened
TO be In view. He was without coat or
hat, and in his stocking feet. After his
motions had been watched abort time
Il was decided that he was . somnsmbu-
list, and certain parties who knew him,
took It upon themselves TO arouse him
and conduct him back to his quarters.
As they approached for that purpose the
young man Hed VITA the swiftness Of a
quarter-horsc, and AL efforts TO overtake
him were utterly futile. He soon passed
out Of sight, and . two hours search
failed to reveal his whereabouts.
About midnight the Waterman on one
OF the whar(boats saw some person
crawling on all-fours on the outside OF
Q train of cars stationed on the levee,
and believing that felony was intended,
he Immediately repaired to the spot
The man instead OF rising to his feet and
seeking escape by flight. remained In the
position In which ne was when first seen
by the Waterman, and, with an aston
ishing speed. ran toward the river.
Just before reaching the river his arms
struck against head chain, which had
the effect Of throwing him over on bis
back, at the very margin OF the water.
Here the watchman came up on him,
and detected the somnambulist OF two
hours before. His looks were wild and
frightened, and he appeared to possess
but little consciousness Of his condition
or whereabouts. He was escorted so hii
room where he remained the balance o.
the night. The case is quite remarkable
one.
