We had magnificent display of the northern
lights last night. The heavens about the frosty
pole were all aglow with shooting rays Of light
that burned up in the heavens in the most start
ling manner. Our German fellow citizens thought
the Schuetzenfest had been revived, and set ont
in shoals for the favorite garden; others wanted
the fire alarm signaled On the corner we heard
two colored "gemmen" discussing the phenome-
ma. Said one:

AEac0nda OF Venezuela.

Of ophidians, the great anaconda ser.

its own body. The throat may be put
upon a stretch to admit deer or a

decomposition in one direction and pro-

when tanned, on account of toughness
and durability, in that country. Ser.
pents inspire feeling of horror, large
or small. There is an instructive dread
of them in all human beings. And YET
they fulfill an important mission in the
economy of life, indispensable, viewed
by the law of equalization--or checks
and balances in the domain of nature.

A Year Ago.
BY MARY G. BARrLErr

Br MARY c. BARrLErr.
I'm thinking of night. love-
A year has since gone BY
When side by side We stood and gazed
Out on a winter sky.
The whole earth lay in shadow,
No star could yet be seen,
But where the setting sun had burned
fingered golden sheen.
Out on that clear. calm light We gazed.
Till but as things Of naught
Seemed darkened earth and starIess sky
And the life with sorrow fraught.
I'm all the universe there seemed,
That night year ago
But two hearts fall Of untold love,
And golden sunset glow.
The sun has set tonight. love.
And golden are the skies.
And between these two bright sunsets
Ayear of suffering lies.
But forgetting all to night, love.
In the clear. calm sunset glow.

OF that night one year ago.
Perchancc thou too. tonight, love.
In this little lapse Of rest.
Art looking out with weary eyes
Upon the glowing West:
And thinking of our deep. true love,
Thou dost rebeliious grow.
That there's left us but thu memry
OF that night year ago.
Onr way is hard. Beloved,
Rough the ascent and steep.
And round us a. VIC toll, apart.
The twilight shadows creep:
But iookine up with eyes Of faith,
A golden light serene
Is shown us. from the glorious Sun
of Righteousness. unseen.
Then upward let us struggle.
Regardless of the pain.
Until at last. together,
The wondrous height we gain
Where nevermore a twilight.
THROUGH all the endless days,
Can draw the Sun Of Righteousness
From our enraptured gaze.

NASHVILLE has been enjoying one of
the pleasantest, sweetest and most re.
fined of recollections-a single combat
between dog and catamount, each
being Thoroughbred and awful on the
bite" The contestants were chained
together, and, after a fifteen minutes
struggle, victory was awarded by the
umpire to the dog. The catamount
was eighteen inches high, and weighed
twenty pounds; the dog was Scotch
bull, with hound cross, and weighed
sixty two pounds. As the betting was
very spirited, it is quite comfort to
know that somebody must have lost a
neat sum of money.
