SONG OF THE SRA-SHELE.

To Ihlr O..
Oh where's my home. my happy home
Ny home beneath the dark blue ses
How many days aud years have flown
Since last l bade farewell 10 thee
These coral cases md murmaids dslIs
Lie Graded I'm the dark. dark deep,
And strange cold forms Of beauty dwell
Round which the misty seaweeds creep.
Then Neptune rules with iron hand,
The Waves that by swiftly glide
He raises high hts magic wand
And guides the ships that DER as ride.
The murmiads dance while nusIo sweet
Is hSating through the happy halls.
And the faiat tread Of fairy feet
Il heard where no harsh dIscord falls
Away frU-n sorrow, woe and cars
where all IS psrs aud holy lsve,
There passes by the pare sea air,
UHtainted by the sn absvs
on does the seaman passing hear
This heavenly concord meath the sea,
And wond'ring stilI, will closely steer
To find where that sweet sound can he.
Oh, many times I've Ionged to see
That pearl that ON nay bosom lay,
When there from care and sorr0w free,
pestlod in my bed Of clay.
That pearls Vow In golden case,
Enclosed within a velvet rim,
Its fading color It's once bright face,
Is made by time and usage dim.
Oh how long 20 zee my home,
Ny home beneath the dark blue sea-
How many long, sad hours have flown
Since last said farewell to thee.

PRAIsISG THE WORK OF FRIENDS
There is another matter about which we
are apt 10 be unjust in our friendships
We are so sensitive to the charge of over
estimating the value Of friends work
through prejudice, that sometimes we let
a stranger get the better of us in the eX-
preston of appreciation and praise
This is a small and damnable selfishness.
Why should we not praise the sermon,
the picture, the story, the poem of our
friend? How did he get 70 be our friend
in the first place? Did we not choose
him. from among ten thousand, because

Curious Advertisements.

Below will be found some of the oddi- ties in advertising:
 "Two young women want washing" !"
 "Teeth extracted with great pains. !"
 s'Babies taken and finished in ten minutes by 8 country photographer.
 "Wood and coal split"
 The next appeared in London paper under the head of 's For Sale:" "Piano- forte-cottage, seven octaves-the prop erty of a lady leaving England in re- markedly elegant case on beautifully carved supports.'
 And what does this mean9 "Business Chance-To be disposed of-A genuine fried fish business at the West End. D Does the genuineness apply to the fish, they are friedG
 And ones mind gets hopelessly dazed over the advertisement offering reward for GA large Spanish blue gentleman s cloak lost in the neighborhood of the market"
 There are others deliciously incense quent, like the advertisement of run away, which furnished this valuable hint for Identification: "Age not precisely known. but looks older than he is.
 Or the notice shoemaker put on his door: "Shall be back in ten days from the time you see this shingle."
 Some, however, leave no loophole fol doubt: "Babies after having taken one bottle of my soothing syrup will never cry any more."
 And an editor, pufing air tight coffns, said: "No person having once tried one of these air tight cofins will ever use any other.''

Liberty of Speech in RussiaE 5

Deschamps, the comedian, visited St. Petersburg once to play an engagement. He arrived in midwinter. "Holy Mosesl" he calculated, "but it is cold" Five minutes later he was before mag istrate. "What have done2 Of what crime am accused7" " You have been guilty of seditious utterances." 'Sedi- tious utterances9" "Ayi Did you not, few minutes since, advance the proposition that here, in the capital of his imperial majesty, it was freezing cold?" "I did, and it is. have chil- plains, even." "Prisoner, do not make matters worse. This time I will over look your offense, but do not repeat it. Understand for the future that it is not cold-that it has no business to be cold in Russia" Thereafter, though the Me- va was frozen solid, Deschamps did not fail to parade the streets in nankeen pantaloons. When he returned to France, after narrating this incident, he added "I played dominoes six years in one cafe at St Petersburg with set that hadn't any double six, and I never dared to ask for the missing domino"

Life in Arizona

An Eastern gentleman engaged in mining in Arizona has written to friend in New York, giving an acconnt of the difficulties under which mining opera tions are prosecuted in that Territory. He says: The amount of progress I make seems to me small, but you can have no idea of the difficulties which have to be constantly met and over come. The labor is very unreliable, and it is hard to get days work for days pay, and there is strong feeling of Jealousy between the whites and Mexi- cans which is hard to overcome. The weather is hot beyond belief. Never, I think, less than ninety degrees in the shade, and from that up to 12O degrees. There is no lumber in the country, and all the building has to be done with cottonwood poles, and hauled five miles on jackasses to the mine. In addition, I have had to pack water five miles, as we have had no rain, and the tanks at the mine are exhausted. We have now killed three rattlesnakes in the house, besides any quantity of scorpions, etc. In opening my trunk was stung in the finger by scorpion. I bound poul- tice of onions and tobacco on the wound and drank three full pints of whisky. It make me very drunk, and I think killed the other poison, although my whole hand and arm was numb for a day or two. It is pretty hard country, and three men have already died of thirst near here. My last letters were sent here from the - mine (only fourteen miles distant) by an old Scotch man. The letters did not arrive, and we searched for him and found him dead only four miles from camp. He was stripped and his nails were worn from his hands by scratching in the sand fol water. We have sent out twice and brought in men who were crazy anC blind and speechless from thirst. The sun is terribly hot, and the rocks so hot that they blister the flesh if touched
 You can hardly realize what country it is, nor how expensive it is, as well a! hard work, to accomplish much. Trans portation, more than anything else, ii | the great bupbear,
