NOhOdy'S Darling.

Little and pald poor and shy,
With downcast look in her soft grey eye;
No scornful toss of her queenly head,
But dropping bend of the neck instead.
No ringing laugh, and no dancing feet
No subtle wies and abandon sweet,
No jewels costly and no garments fine
She is nobody's darling-but mine!
No Dolly Warden cequettish airs,
No high-heeled boots to throw b down stairs,
No yachting jacket and nautical style.
With sailors hat that she calls her g tile !"
But lady" is stamped on her quiet brow,
And she crept in my heart, I can't tell how;
Not made to dazzle, not born to shine
Nobody nobody's darling-but mine
No saucy, ravishing, girlish grace,
But settled calm on her sweet, pale face;
No sparkling chatter and repartee;
Very silent and still is she.
White and still is my pearl of pearls,
Yet TO me she seemeth the queen of girls:
Why love her can't define,
For she's nobody s-nobody's darling--but mine
Were riches hers or beauty rare,
She would lose her charm, become less fair;
We're rings to shine on those fingers small
They could not add to their grace at all.
She would learn to smile and to speak by rule,
In the foolish book of Dame Fashions school,
And the world to spoil her would soon combine
Now she's nobodys darling-but mine!

CHILDREN'S CORNER.
Good Sometimes.
BY o. HOWARD.

Twenty years have passed tomorrow,
Since l went to yonder school.
Where | often learned with sorrow
What attends broken rule.
Roughly spoke the ancient master:
Go, sir, to the omen Hoo1.r
Or III come and walk you faster
Than you ever walked before
Then was hushed the busy humming,
For full well the scholars knew
All the torture that was coming
From the rod that hung in view.
But my little blue-eyed sister
Softly stole and took my hand.
% the darling! how we've missed her
Since she joined the angel band y
To the pale and angry teacher
Sweet she spoke as distant chimes,
Love illuming every feature
" Brother dear is good sometimes"
What a thrill her pleading gave mel
3anished all my swift disgrace;
1 vas sure that it would save me,
Ere ] saw his changing face.
Oft / see that dear face beaming,
Hear her voice in loving rhymes,
Gently saying, in my dreaming
Brother dear is good sometimes"
Dr. I dream that angels gather
Round the throne of God above,
Making intercessIon ever
For the objects of their love;
And that when 7 cross the river
/ shall hear, mid heavens Chimes
Little sister pleading for me-
Brother dear is good sometimes

many Frenchmen had an opportunity
Of observing one of the elephants that
had received flesh wound from can
non ball. After being twice or thrice
conducted to the hospital where he
extended himself to be dressed, he af-
terward went alone. The surgeon did
whatever he thought necessary, APP
plying even fire to the wound, and
though the pain made the animal often
utter the most plaintive groans, he new
er expressed any other token than that
of gratitude to this person who, by mo-
mentary torments, endeavored to re-
lieve him, and in the end effected his
cure.

The Monsoon Ghost Mystery Explained

The Monsoon Ghost Mystery Explained.
A correspondent of the Springfield
Republican at Monsoon, who is skepti-
cal as to the supernatural appearances,
has been quietly investigating the cir
cumstances attending the ghost excite
ment at that place, few months ago,
and has solved the mystery to his full
satisfaction. The story, as he tells it,
is that very young man became enam-
ored, last summer, of a fascinating
maiden, residing about mile from the
upon her several times a
week. An older brother, finding
that the youthful Romeo was
causing some gossip by his frequent at
tentions, resolved to stop them, and
hit upon the plan of frightening him in
the guise of ghost. Knowing that
the lad was courageous, however, be
appeared first to another member
of the family. By strapping a broom
upon his back, with the bushy part
projecting over his head, he success
fully disguised his height, and by
means of a big black dress presented
in the night the appearance of a woman
about six feet and eight inches tall.
Thus attired, he secreted himself
in the new church, and when
his victim came along, bounced upon
him and chased him home, where he
arrived breathless with fright This
incident produced much excitement in
the community, but the intrepid
Romeo, undismayed by ghosts, stead
lastly continued his visits to the object
of his affections The leaven of fear
was working, however, and, about a
week later, the "ghost" accosted and
chased a man on his way to the quarry,
at early day-break, after which the
3, 900 inhabitants of Monson were so
wrought up that even men were afraid
to venture out at night, except in
bands.
But love rtiH conquered fear; the
youngster still continued his tri-weekly
trips, until one night, while returning
home, the frghtful ghost of which he
had heard SO much confronted him at q
lonely spot in the road. The first I'M
pulse was to run, but the ghost ran
too he walked, and the ghost assumed
a measured tread and continued un-
CohIoi od1bif uSdI u6 SldchoH6o HIS
pace, and the dreaded being stalked
past him, and remained before or be-
hind until he reached home, frightened
nearly to death. The ghost-per-
senator, having accomplished his
purpose, thereafter kept his own
counsel and retired from the
business, but the terrified people of
the town saw specter in every bush,
and the ghost was reported in half a
dozen places after he had finally disap-
peared from view. The new church
was watched for many q night; the
woods were searched by bands of men,
who took care to keep together; one
man was SO nervous as to shoot himself
while IN search of the ghost; and
deadly fear for time held the whole
community. Not for some weeks did
it leak out how everybody had been
g sold, and how little game, planned
for one young mans edifcation, had
affrighted the whole town.

BIG CHICKENS.
Novel Enterprise of a Cleveland Chicken
Fancier.

Novel Enterprise of "a Cleveland Chicken
Fancier.
The Cleveland Herald tells the story
that a wealthy gentleman named Scr1v-
ems. having become discouraged as q
poultry man, has sold out his entire
stock of chickens and is going into the
novel business of ostrich raising. He
has ordered ship load of wild os
triches direct from the great desert, and
it is hoped when the first one is killed
for somebody's next Thanksgiving din
ner DR.. Livingstone will be found well
preserved in his stomach. Ostriches
| like stones. Mr. Scrivens has lived In
Africa, and knows the habits of the
birds. He has therefore enclosed
ten acres of land with fence OF
oak piles, covered with cast iron, to
prevent the poultry from eating up the
boundary The provision for Matching
out the young is simply layer, several
feet deep, of sand in one corner of the
enclosure. In order to give this the
requisite amount of heat to bring out
the young, the sand will be freely mixed
with cayenne pepper, which will have
the further effect of destroying vermin.
The rest of the yard will be used as a
breeding and exercising ground. The
birds Will have to run good deal, and
for this purpose men will be kept with
spears and on fast horses to chase them
if they are inclined to be lazy, They
will be fed cheaply, as
they are very fond of old
boots, pebbles, horse-shoes, ETC., and
the Herald thinks that the usual diet
will be pig iron chopped fine and boiled
with Berea grindstones, which will
keep flock Of one hundred ostriches
for one year, though to give them fat
ness and flavor, this diet will be varied
occasionally by a wagon load of Nichol-
son pavement blocks and log chains.
MI. Servers said to be very enthusi-
astic in his enterprise, and poultry fam
ciers will wish him success. Indeed,
his project promises we'll for the com
munity, as ostriches not only serve
proftably by laying enormous eggs,
but will do on pinch to hitch to a
wagon or be used as saddle-birds.
