| Ah! many storm love can safely outride,
But secret at home is like rocks under tide
The maid that forsook nc was cruel and cold:
She cared not FOR love, she cared only for gold
The wife of my bosom is simple and mild,
/ With the heart of a woman, the smile Of a child
All! many storm Of love can safely outride,
| But secret at home is like rocks under tide
CHICAGO sells five million dollars
worth Of jewelry and San francisco
gets away with ten million dollars
worth of drinks, Of ell grades every
year. The aggregate annual sale Of
testaments and hymn-books in the two
cities reaches s17j.27.
The Turks have a battle hymn
which they sing when they go into bat
tie. 1t is said that the soldiers of the
enemy put their fingers in their ears
and rush madly upon the bayonets
of the foe, gladly welcoming death as
an escape from the singing.
A PARTY Of vegetarians who were
boarding at water-cure establishment
while taking a walk in the field, were
attacked by a bull; which chased them
furiously out of his pasture. That's
your gratitude, is it. you great, hate
ful thing p exclaimed one of the In
dies, painting with fright and fatigue.
"After tins, I'll eat beef three times
a day."
How often in the bright days of
our prosperity, when the hours fly
past on golden wings, and the world
seems made solely for our happiness,
are we stunned by the shock of unfore-
seen disappointment and reverse, like
boy who, with his guileless eounte-
nance wreathed in the smiles that are
thereAex of the happiness at his heart
slides down the stair-banisters to find,
alas that some one has left the hall
lamp sitting on the lower post.
An inebriate got into q car and becam
very troublesome and annoying to the
other passengers, so much that it was
proposed to eject him but genial
and kind-hearted reverend doctor, who
was also a passenger, interpOsed for
him, and soothed him in good behavior
for the remainder of tie jOrney. Be-
fore leaving, however, he scowled upon
the occupants of the car, and mutter-
ed some words of contempt: but he
shook hands warmly with the doctor
and said : "GoOd-day, my friend /
see you know what it is to be drunk"
IL 1862 there was exported from
BuenOs Ayres 5S,OOO,OO0 pounds of
wool. -Four years later the export
was Ia, 000,O pounds, and in 1878,
10, OOO,O 900 pounds. 1t appears that
in 1868 the Argentine Republic had
81, 100000 sheep and the number is
now, put at 7O,OOO,OOO. This is the
principal industry of this Republic,
as Of Uruguay but it seems that no
progress has been made in improving
the breeds of sheep, and little effort
made to feed them well, and they are
suffering with many diseases which are
prevalent with improper food.
ALTHOUGH misers are not a public
spirited class they are treated with
great indulgence when ever they die,
and have very elaborate obituary
notices in local columns. This seems
to have been a very trying season for
them certain it is that they are going
off very rapidly in all parts of the
country, and the eccentricities are
ehronicled in the newspapers. The
money is in strange place, and the
monomaniac generally dies without
telling where It's, his thought being
perhaps that his ghost can keep an
eye on it after dissolution. An old
man died about four months ago in
Maysville KY, hid 81 200 worth of
United States bonds in two mustard
boxes and buried them in a pile of
scrapwood in his shanty. The wood was
sold about ten days ago to a ragpicker
for seventy-fve cents, and while he
was gathering it together bystander
picked up the boxes and found the
bonds.

Treasurer's office, Columbus, Ohio, at
tempted to commit suicide last night
by shooting himself. The ball passed
