Narius Amid the Ruins Of Carthage,

Pillars are fallen at thy feet,
Fanes CULVER in the air.
A prOatrAte city is thy seat,
And thou alone art there.
No change comes DER thy noble brow,
Though ruin is around thee:
Thine eye beam burns as proudly now,
Az when the laurel crowned thee.
1t cannot bend thy lofty soul,
Though friends and fame depart
The ear of Fate may over thee roll,
Nor crush thy Roman heart.
And genius hath electric power
Which earth can never tame;
Bright suns may scorch and dark clouds
lower,
Its flash is still the same.
The dreams we loved in early life
May iuelt like mist away
High thoughts may seem mid passions strife,
Like Carthage in decay.
And proud hopes in the human heart
May he to ruin hurled,
Like Wondering monuments Of art
Heaped on the sleeping world
Yet there il something will not die,
Where life hath once been fair,
some towering thoughts still rear ON high,
Some Roman fingers there.

he Yearned to be a Reporter.

From the Detroit Free Press
He came up the four pair of
stairs Saturday morning, and as
soon as he had recovered his
breath he wanted to know if The
Free Press would like to engage
anotherreporter. he said he hadn't
had much experience, but be
said itin a tone which was meant
to convey the idea that he knew
his business. He was tall and
thin, had on a plug hat which
looked as if it had been run over
by a drove of mules, his collar
had sweat through and his
bandana handkerchief was re-.
markable for the many crew. sses
in it. His boots were red with
Old age, and his pants were stuffed
into the tops. Nevertheless, his
face was one to command atten.
tiou and his tones were respect.
full. In reply he was told that
there was always room at the top
of the profession, just as Daniel
Webster told young lawyer
once upon a time. He said he
thought four stories high was
about as near the top of the pro-
fession as a fellow could get, but
his joke was too old to laugh at.
lie didn't want much pay, his
object being to identify himself
with some growing journal and
let the feeting years bring him
wealth and laurels. He was
but nineteen years old aud he had
plenty of time. He said he could
sit up three nights running,
ingratiate himself into the affec.
tons, of the police in one brief
hour, and he knew the liremen
and the captains OF the ferry. boats
would love him on sight. He
could report any thing he said,
from q dog fight to a regatta, and
he wrote a tightening hand. He
was used to religious meetings,
knew all about medical Conyen-
tons, and would 60 for woman
suffrage or became q Granger,
just as the paper desired. He
preferred, he said, to work all
day and night, but if the Office
had a rule requiring a man to |
sleep three or four hours out of the |
twenty -four he would obey.
He promised much more, and |
MS tones grew more serious as he |
talked. He was being consumed |
BY y burning ambition to weld a |
cad pencil, and ice-water had no !
effect on him. He was s.upn in

The Great sal. Lake.

1t is very strange that cut of the
many who travel across the cOnti-
nent, desirous Of seeing everything Of
interest, thas there are so few who
viii take the time aud trouble to see
this most wonderful aud beautiful
Sheet of water. The size Of the lake
is about eighty miles from cast to
west, aud about one hundred miles
from north to south 1t is the great
reseryoir for allthe waters that empty
into the surrounding valleys, without
any known outlet, except what the
rays Of the gentle summer sun draws
up to the cloudy strata of the
heavens. The water is exceedingly
salty, more so than any body Of
water in the world, and its buoyancy
is fully Loco per cent. more than that
Of the ocean. In the cruGest manner
the MormoHs make pail Of salt from
three pals Of water; and the buoy
ancy is very pereeptible ia bathing,
" hen the on dinary swimmer finds he
can float as easily and securely rs
walking on the "sure and frmest
earth" Sinking is impossible The
water in the lakesi sgFadually rising,
aud the estimates have put it at ten
inches each yc2r; but no means have
been taken to measure it until about
two months since, when granite
monument was erected at Black
Rock, 8 short distance from the
shore.
The lake as a thiagof beauty is al
most unsurpassed. The water at
times is Of the deepest green; at
others of the deepest blue; and, vary
ing from the shallow to the deep
water, from the lightest to the dark
est shades, and at all times like the
grand ocean. The seagull and the
pelican scale just overhead, riding
gracefully the waves upon the smooth
or rolling surface.
When the sky is cloudy and the
air dark with heavy clouds, you look
across the lake at the widest part,
and it VIII remind you Of old Allan
tic, as you may have seen it from the
Jersey coast. II was about the mid
die of September when Mr.. McCun-
dy from New York, aud tie writer
saw the lake when a gale was rolling
in the breakers on the shore not IN
like the waves at Long Branch, when
the winds were blowing from the
east. When the winds are still and
the summer sunshine was resting
quietly upon it, it is like mirror,
with IT'S islands rising up from il quite |
abruptly, seYerai thousand feet, cloth
ed with verdue, making indeed, a
lovely sight.

feet, the wound giving him much
pain for several days. The pain
ceased, and he thought be bad quite

garden adjoining his lodgings, gather
ed some flowers, and carried them 10
his house. While on his way back
be suddenly felt the cords oftbe back
of his neck commence drawing bis
head backward and be became aware
that his jaws were setting. lie re-
marked ia a laughing way, but too
true, that be was getting the lock
jaw. His relatives made light Of the
ermark, and supper was announced
shortly after; but when Mr. Eichoitz
tried to drink some tea from a saucer
he found he could not get the saucer
between his teeth, and even then il
was only thought be was suffering
from the Effects Of a cold. However,
they at length came to the sad con-
elusion IS to the nature Of bis dis
ease, IS bis Jaws were SET TO open 20
