There's magical isle in the river of time,
Where softest of echoes are straying.
And the air Is As soft a musical chime.
Or the exquisite breath of u tropical Cline
When June with lis roses Is swaying-
IT'S where memory dwells with her pure gold
And music forever is flowing;
While the low murmured tones that come treifi-
blfnglv through.
Sadly trouble the heart. yet swee.en it, too.
As the south wind O'er waters when blowing
There are shadowy halls in that fairy like isle
Where pictures of beauty cleaning.
Yet the light OF their eyes and their sweet sun
ny smile,
Only flash round the heart with wildcring
wile.
And leave US to know 'tis but dreaming
And The name of this isle is the Beautiful Past
And we bury our treasures all there;
m ere are l,eiiiys of beauty too Ioyel, TO last.
There are bosoms of snow with the dust DER
There are tresses and ringlets of hair
There are fragments of songs only memory
And the words of dear mothers prayer,
There's harp long unsought, and d lule with
out strings,
There are flowers, all withered and letters, and
Hallowed tokens that love used to wear
E'en the dead. the bright. beautiful dead there
With their soft flowing ringiets of gold,
Though their voices are hushed. and Ger their
sweet eyes
The unbroken signet of silence now lies.
They are With US again ofoId.
In the stiffness of night hands are beckoning us
there.
And with joy there is almost pain;
y delight to turn back and in wandering there,
Through the shadowy hall of the island 80 fair,
We behold our lost treasures again.
OH this beautiful isle, With its pilantom-like
show.
Is a vista unfadingly bright;
And the river OF time, in its turbulent flow,
Is oft soothed by JheSyoieeS We heard long ago,
When the years were dream OF delight.

PIuck-A Capital. Fable.

The hopelessness of any ones ac-
compHshing anything without pluck
is illustrated by an old East Indian
fable. "A mouse that dwelt near the
abode of magician was kept inesuch
constant distress by its fears ofa cat,
that the magician taking pity omit,
turned it into u cat itself.o I'M
mediately it began to suffer from
its fear of a dog, so the magician turn
ed it into dog. Then it began to
suffer from fear of a tiger, and the
magician turned it into tiger. Then
1t began to suffer from its fear of
huntsmen. aud the magician, in dis
gust, said: '"Be aimouse again. AS
you have only the heart of a mouse,
it is impossible to help you by giving
you the body of a nobier animal.''
And the poor creatare again became
mouse. LftH
1t is the same with mouse-hearted
man. lie may be clothed with the
powers and placed in the position of
brave men, but he win always act like
mouse; and public opinion is usu-
ally the great magician that finally
says to such q person; go back to
your obscurity again. You have on
lv the heart of mouse, and it is use
less to try to make lion of you"

Between the sale of stock and loan
of money, and recall of stock and re-
turn of money and tearing up checks, ,
and all that sort of thing that went on
between Oakes Ames and Wan. ID.
Kelley, the good old Poland is liable
to get into much the same state of {
mind with the old woman who traded
in groceries and got involved in a
complicated business transaction. -r...,,
A customer came in one day and
said - '-'' .
"Oid woman, what do you ask for
herring ~ 9aj e yoa9biu0o sit q
'.Three cents apiece said. the old
lady. gr sre-s.l....o ..t..r .i.
I ..I'll take one" said the customer,
and the aged vender proceeded to do
il up. \ SIC ylaa aisi ~ i9omshEC
"What do you ask for beer?" said
the customer, as the parcel was han
ded to him.
I "Three cents glass;" said she. -
"On the WHOLE" said he "I'll take
glass of beer instead of the herring"
So he took the beer and started to go.
"Beg your pardon" said the old la
ly, "but you haven't paid for. the
beer" l'''-
.sPaid for it'll Of course not
Didn't | give you back the herring
for it?" lua Egs 3fs94q b.
"Well, but" persisted the old lady,
'fyou didn't pay for the herring ?"
'.Pay for the herring OF course
didn't. l didn't take it did LIZ" A'5a.sa
"Well," said the old woman, after
pause, in which she strove in vain to
master the mathematics of it, Il pre-
sumo you're correct, but wish you
youldn't trade here any more."o ioiih'
We do hope the good old Poland
won't get SO confused as that between
Kelley and Ames.-NeW York Sun.

Persecuted Creatures.

Pomeroy, of Kansas, says he is the
victim of conspiracy; Stokes, who
murdered Fisk, says he is also. Cald-
well, of Kansas, says he is persecu-
ted man; Mrs. Fair, of California,
says she is prosecuted woman. Pat
terson, of South Carolina, says his
transactions were all right; Boss
Tweed says the same thing of himself.
Colfix comes up to his corner smiling :
so did Heenan after Sayers had smash
ed his face. Wilson looks as inno-
cent as d new born babe; so does "Cu-
sick the name eater" Patterson of
New Hampshire, is man. of learning /;
SO was lsuloh, the murderer. Harlan
was a preacher of the gospel; so was
the wicked parson Brownlow. H-. 't

They are having rat plague in sew
eral of the German provinces. The
fields of clover and cola are said TO
be devastated by the vermin, and
when arsenic and phosphorus pills are
scattered to destroy them, hares and
other game have been poisoned, and
much damage done. Under these cir
cumstances, a device has been brought
into play, which, even as applied 10
rats, seems too horrible to employ
A mixture of plaster dust and dry
wheat is mixed with oil of ahiseed,
and put into an earthenwareo saucer,
aud near by plenty of water is placed.
The rats eagerly devour the mixture,
and are straightway seized with tor
menting thirst; they then, of course
greedily swallow water. Upon this
the plaster 'ssets' and becomes more
solid in their insides, All thus, more
or less speedily, the poor creatures
die in agony. But rats are rats.-N.
