NEARING THE SHORE.

An Old man sits in a worn arm CHAIR
White as snow is his thin, soft hair,
Fnrrowed his cheek by time and care,
And back and forth 1t swaye; Ils ~
There'a far away look in bis dim, dim eye ii ,ts..
Which tells of thoughts Of The long gone-by,
For he sits once more meath cloudless sky,
And in childhood merrily plays. aA91d
lie rests his cheek on the head OF his cane itI9
And happily smiling dreams over again fL 99si
Of that home, the brook, the meadow, the lane,
Dreams all with vision clear
Then childhood yields unto manhood's place,
And he looks once more in his bright bright face,
And down in the starry eyes he can trace 9lisu
love remembered and dear. ..a., t
Then he wakes and sishs ut seems but dream, 4
That comes to me now like golden gleam, h ,s.
Or the shimmering glow Of the suns last beam,
But his pleasant to think it DER 'a4 q
That youth was so sweet, but now 10 pat, ba-2 z4
Those days of love were too precious to last, e543
But over yonder their pleasures are cast,
And am nearing that shore
He is gliding on in his little boat;
Or the calm, still water they peacefully noat
But echo full Oft brings well-known note 99iiHAI
From the land he has left behind, g ~
But time will row back for him no more
And he gazes away to that other shore,
And knows when the voyage of life thali be DER
That his dream beyond he viii ind .ls
The seeds Of yoath, which in youth We sow, 5'i
Adown through the isles of the future will groe,l
And shed on age a beautiful glow,

And circle old age with their halos Of light

Fluctuations in Wool.

A cofresbon dent deplores the effect up
on the sheep interests Of the Illustrations
in wool which have marked the previous
history of this country, and declares the
great necessity of the country 10 be sta
bility and uniformity. This IL all true
enough, and to secure this stability and
uniformity, sheep growers should resist
all changes IN the tariff laws. They have
been one fruitful source Of change and un-
ceytainty, and II would seem rs If the
government could adhere to no one line OF
policy in reference to the wool interest,"
But the tariff has not been The only source
of these fluctuations. The enormous pro
duciion in South America, Australia and
Africa, have at times broken down The
fofeigA, markets, to such point as to seri-
ously influence the American market, even
when protected by the mtst stringent
tariff. This matter, however, appears TO
have regulated itself; and if we may
Judge BY the condition OF foreign wool
markets, there is very little PROJECT that
the interests of the American wool grow
ers viii be seriously affected, for many
years to come, by excessive production in
the southern hemisphere. There never
was Q time, in our estimation when the
outlook was more favorable 10 the stabili-
" and prosperity Of American sheep bus
bsndry than the present. National Liue

Josephine Mansfield in EG-ope|TAa
improbable Story.

On the I'd of February the gorgeous
gaming saloons OF Monaco were filled with
q most fashionable crowd Of ladies and
gentlemen. So dense was the ihfong
round the table that few Of those VINE
we're standing were able TO participate IN
the game. A lady who was seated at the
lower end of the roulette table, by the
aide of the so-caled end croupier, attract
ed the attention of the bystanders by the
large piles Of gold pieces which she staked
on three or four numbers, and by the in
variable luck which crowned her ventures.
She was q fat, beautiful woman, and she
PLAYED with a ponchalance and reckless
ness. as il she possessed the secret OF MI
das. She won, and won, and won. Moth
ing but e slight flush upon her smelly
rounded, dimpled and delicately- compsex-
toned cheeks indicated that in the last
FORTY minutes she had woa' between'three
and four thousand dollars. Behind her
stood q tall foreign looking gentleman,
evidently over forty years of age, Win a
heavy auburn Toustache, and pale face.
The beautiful woman was just about draw
ing to herself the two or tire, hundred
dollars which she had won again, when
Young man who had been sitting by her
side politely but firmly said TO her: Spar
don me. madame, that belongs to me! y
The lady turned Indignantly towards him,
and asked him what he meant "Simply
that these winnings are mine" he replied
coolly. The next moment the lady ap-
pealed 10 the head croupier, calling upon
him 10 say whether she had not steadily
and exclusively played for the past hour
the numbers in question. The young man
sprang 10 his feet in the utmost agite ton !.
The lady started back in terror as he bent
his flashing eyes upon her, when the mid.
dle-aged man behind her suddenly seized
the impetuous young stranger by the COL
lar Of his coat, and, uitering savage
cath in foreign Language, struck him
violent blow in the face. The assailed
party. drew a dirk-knife, and turned saw
arely upon his assailant In second all
was nprosr in the gorgeous gaming hall.
The gamblers and the croupies jumped
up-the game was interrupted-apgry
voices, uttering oaths resounded, and sud-
denly two police officers elbcwsd Them
selves through the crowd TO the. suarrel-
ing group. The two men were arrested,
the lady Iaked in what she had Won, and
left the hall with scowl upon her pretty
face. !.
Next mern;ng The tive gentlemen had
10 appear be fore the police court of Mona
co, where the elder, the assailsnt, gave bis
name as Baron Berry de folly, and the
younger as Herr Won Differor. The Baron
was ordered to pay nominal fine, and be

How Soon Forgotten.

oh, how soon we are forgotten,
When We rest beneath The sod,
And oul feet no longer wander
Ger the paths we Oft have trod
When the form that we so cherished
With love both pure and deep,
Lies within the csrth's dark bosom,
In its last long sleep.
For q few days, IL may be-
Had We home and kindred do1r--
When they met around the hearthstone,
There will he a lack of cheer;
As vacant seat will tell them
OF affections broken ties,
And their thoughts perohRnco will wander
Where tho dreamless sleeper lies.
But should stern tate deprive US
Ola bright and cheerful home,
And In weariness Of spirit
Ger liic's rugged way we roam;
When the golden BOWLS broken,
Aud the lone one finds rest.
Twill excite no dread commoti0n
In one lalpitating breast.
Yet tits well that thus II should DO,
In LIES brief revolving years.
Else this world Of gliding beauties
Would become n vale OF tears
When the soul attuned to sadness
Aud by SORROW overcast,
Would enshrine the brightest future
With sad mem ries of the past.
