By THE DEAD.
BY CELIA THAXTER.

o POVERTY, TIL now / never knew
The meaning of the word! what lack is herei
o pale mask of a soul. great good and truel
o hooking semblance stretched upon bleri
Each atom of this devastated face
Was so instinct with power, with warmth and
light:
What desert is so desolatei No grace
Is left, no CLEAN, no change, no day, no night.
Where the key that locked these gates of speech
Once beautiful where thought stood sentinel,
Where sweetness sat, where wisdom passed, &c
teach
Despoiled at last. and waste and barren lies
This once so rich domain. "here hves anc
In what new world. the splendor of these eyes
That dauntless ightened like imperial Jove's?
Annihilated, do you answer me!
Blown out and vanished like candle flame?
Is nothing left but this pale etfigy,
This silence drear, this dread without name:
Has it been all in vain, our love and pride,
This yearning love that still pursues our friend
Into the awful dark, unsatlshed,
Bereft, and wrung with pain? Is this the end?
Would God so mock us? To our human sense
No answer reaches through the doubtful air;
Yet with living hope, profound, intense
Our tortured souls rebel against despair
As bowling to the bitter fate we go
Dropping and dumb as if beneath curse;
But does not plying Heaven answer Nor
With all the voice of the unlverses

The Big RhinOcerOs.

Mr.. FRANK AUCKLAND, writing in Lana
and Water in reference to the rhinoceroe
lately killed by the fog, and which is
said to have weighed three tons, says:
"The skin was of great thickness, in
some places two or three inches, and as
hard as plate ofan iron-clad man-of-war
1t will require good deal of
tanning before it will be fit to
set up. This is the same rhinoceros
whose horn was some time since
amputated by Mr.. Bartlett. When
knocking about the cage in a bad temper,
l am sorry to say natural to her, she
managed to severely injure the base of
her horn against the bars, and it became
necessary to cut off the loose portion, but
this operation had to be done with care,
and without irritating the animal. Mr..
Bartlett, therefore fed her with apples,
&C., and so induced her to put her nose
through the bars. While he was feeding
her, for several consecutive days he rub
bed the horn gently with stick. Find
ing that this friction did not hurt her, the
animal allowed the rubbing to 90 on
without taking any notice. When at last
she became quite accustomed to the fric-
ton, Mr.. Bartlett substituted a thin saw
for the blunt stick, and after two or three
sittings managed to pass the saw almost
entirely through the base of the horn.
Some few hours afterward she finished
the operation herself by knocking the
loose bit completely off; it weighed
eleven pounds"

Yirus's Candidate.

Soon after the first Inauguration O.
Governor Seward as Chief Magistrate Of
this State, Virus W. Smith, then and fol
many years afterward a potential man in
the Wing party of Onondaga County
wrote to Mr.. Thurlow Weed, requesting
him to call upon the Governor and ask
him to appoint certain man as Indian
Agent for the OnOndaga tribe of Indians
The person recommended by Mr.. Smith
was we'll known to Mr. Weed as one OF
those fussy, meddlesome, maladroit, pesti-
lent fellows, nuisances to any party
whose only power is power for mischief
He was therefore surprised at MI. Smith
urging him for the position, and thought
it could only have been done through ig-
norance of his character or misrepresen
tation on the part of others. Mr.. Weed
accordingly replied, expressing regret at
Mr.. Smiths request, in view of the OBJ
jectionable character of the candidate,
and begging him to suggest more &C
ceptable name. Next day Mr.. Weed
mentioned the matter to the Governor
(who was equally cognizant of the mans
character) and remarked that he had an
swered the letter, and that action for the
present would be delayed. 1t was thought
that this would bring Mr.. Smith to AL
bany to look after the matter, as it did.
On arriving he promptly called upon Mr.
Weed, who eXpostulated with him as to
the character of his candidate. Never
theless," said he, eff you make it point
that he must have the place, why, have it
he must"
"Well, Mr.. Weed, 1 am very anxious
about it'
'But you know what bad fellow
he is ?"
Cant help it; he's my man."
"But can't you give some eason for
your urgency?"
NO" replied Mr. Smith; L do not
care to do that"
"But the Governor thinks badly of this
fellow and certainly some explanation is
due to him."
"Well, it's something I don't wish to
talk about.
'Why?"
"Do you really want to know?"
Certainly"
Chen, if you insist upon it, I'll tell
Won You know there are among the
Onondagas two parties, the Christians
and the Pagans %
81 am aware OF 1t"
"Well. nay man is a leetle in favor of the
Christians. The Pagans have found that
out and, what is more, they have agreed
among themselves that the moment he
comes among them they'll Kali htmf"
"Virus," as he was popularity called in
Onondaga, finally concluded, in the in
terest of humanity, to withdraw his can
didate, and there was no assassination by
the Pagans of Onondaga.-Harper's Mag
dzine.

A REMARKABLE trial in Portland, Me-,
in which John Waller appears as plaintiff
against a lady whom he claims to be his
wife, has been attended with some affect
ing scenes and incidents. Some time ago,
the lady came to Portland and married
Edwin Waite, young and respected
citizen of Portland. A few weeks ago
John Waller came to Portland from Nova
Scotia, and claimed Mrs. Waite as his
wife, and also the mother of two children
whom he brought with him. The woman
not only denied such an allegiance, but
insisted that she never heard Of the man
and that the whole affair was either a case
of mistaken identity or an attempt to in
lure her reputation. All efforts to convince
her to the contrary were futile, and now
Mr. Waller brings suit against her fol
bigamy. The witnesses for the Govern
ment have testified without hesitation
that she is none other than Mrs. Waller,
whom they have known from girl. One
of the most interesting features OF the case
thus far has been the appearance Of the
children on the stand. The little girl,
only eleven years of age, was very enter
tanning. She told her story in a straight
forward manner, and when requested to
90 nearer, so as to be sure of the identity,
SIG approached Tic WOuldu, duu IOOh1LS
her in the face, said Eyes, sir; that's my
mother" The ordeal proved too much
for the child, and she burst into tears. The
woman merely turned her head to Mr.
Waite, and smiles lighted up her features.
The lite boy also was positive she was
his mother, and his testimony was given
in clear manner for one so young.
THE first Office of food is to supply the
wear and tear of life, and to build up the
body of animals when they are growing
Growing animals naturally appropriate
a larger portion of the nutriment given to
them than other animals whose growth
has ceased. A full grown animal requires
about the same amount of daily food to
maintain it in store order as would have
served to keep it growing up to about the
period of full growth, which suggests the
inexpediency of delay when that stage mas
been reached. While the work of build
ing up the body is going on the material
employed is rigidly economical ana
devoted to the object of enlargement, ana
when all the parts of the body have
gained growth one source of profit to the
feeder is at once closed. 1t is always de-
sirable that young animals which are ex-
pected to get through the business OF their
lives in less than two years, and to keep
in good health so as to make the best use
of their time, should be kept in spacious
apartments.-N. 7. Herald.

rhe island grape Crop.

The Toledo Commercial, speaking of
the grape crop of the islands, says:
Granted that the rot asd mildew are
averted, the grape crop Of the Lake Erie
Islands will be the largest this year that
has ever been known. The vines are
loaded With clusters which are filling out
rapidly and finely. On the South Bass
the bearing vineyards are between 500
and 600 acres in extent. The North and
Middle Bass have about $50 acres each.
It is estimated that the crop will not
average less than four tons to the acre.
This will give the enormous aggregate Of
over 5000 tons, or 100000 pounds,
which at the lowest average price OF
three cents per pound, will be worth $780,
600. The only calamities which might
interfere TO prevent the crop fulfilling
the anticipation Of the growers are the
rot and mildeW. which usually make
their appearance 10 July. mn

Mr.. Bishop recently died and his last re-
quest was that his wife should not see his
dead body. Mrs. Bishop and her son at
tempted to create a scene at the church
from which the funeral took place, but
were prevented by the interference of the
police. Mrs. Bishop put in an appear
ance at the cemetery and jumped into the
grave designed for her husband The
sensation was intensified by the wild ex-
CARNATIONS which Mrs. Bishop made
thar the ladies present were improper
women" had poisoned her husband"
and wished to get him "out Of their
way" Meanwhile the son had been en-
deavoriDg to enlist the favor of the Gene
terry Superintendent to grant hun one
days time TO obtain the necessary funds
by which the fee for receiving vault
could be obtained. The scene at the
grave of Mr.. Bishop brought the Superin-
tendent to reluctant consent to the
agreement and the body was placed in
the receiving vault, much to the relief of
the spectators. II was only then that the
lady jumped out Of the grave.
