By-and-By.

There's little mischief-maker
That il stealing half our bliss;
Sketching pictures ia a dreamland
That are never seen IN this
Dashing from the lips the pleasures
OF the present while we sigh:
You may know that mischief maker.
For his name is By-and-By.
He i sitting by your hearthstonc,
18th hi sly. bewitching glance.
Whispering Of the coming morrow.
As the social hour adj, ancc;
Lettering mid our calm reflections,
Hiding forms Of beauty nigh;
He's smooth, deceiiful fellow.
This enchanter, By-and-By.
Yon may know him by his winning.
BY his careless, sportive air;
BY hi. sly. obtrusiye presence
That j. straying eyerywhere.
BY The trophies that he gather,
Where hi, sombrc victims lie;
For bold. determined fellow
l. this conqueror, By-and-By.
When the calls OF duty haunts Us.
And the present seems to be
All the time that ever mortals
Snatch from dark eternity.
Then fairy hand seems painting
Pictures on \ painted sky;
For q cunning little artist
Is this fairy. By-and-By.
"By-and-by." the wind is sighIng;
"By-and-by," the heart replies;
But the phantom just above IL
Ere We grasp II ever flies.
List not 10 the idle charmer.
Scorn the very spacious lie;
O, DO not believe or trust in
That deceiver, By-and-Bv.

Two Pictures.

An old farmhouse with meadows wide,
And sweet with clover on each side;
A brlghicyed boy who looks from out
The door with woodbine wreathed about,
And wishes his one thought ali day:
oh II | could but fiy away
From this dull spot the world to see.
How happy. happy, happy.
How happy would be r.
Amid the ciiy's constant din.
A man who round the world has been
l. thinSing. thinking all day long:
oh II could only trace once more
The field-path to the farmhouse door,
The old green mesdows could see,
How happy. happy, happy,
How hsppy would b. :"

CONGRATULATIONS FROM RUSSIA.

The following congratulatory letter
from the emperor of Russia reached
this country too late to be presented
to the president by the Russia minister
on July 4, and has since been present.
ed:
MR.. president At a moment when
the people of the United States cele-
brate the centennial period of their
national existence, I desire to ex.
press to YOU the sentiments with
which take part in the celebration.
The people of the United States may
contemplate with pride the immense
progress their energy has achieved
within the period Of a century. I
especially rejoice that, during this
centennial period, the friendly rela-
tions our respective countries have
never suffered interruption but, on
the contrary, have made themselves
manifest by proofs of mutual good
will. therefore cordially congratu.
late the American people, in the per.
son of their president; and l pray
that the friendship of the two coun.
tries may increase with their pros
perity. embrace this occasion to
offer to you, at the same time, the as.
surance of my sincere esteem and Of
my high consideration.

THE ''SILVER BILL"

So much tinkering has been done to
the silver bill in Congress that very
few know anything of it's provisions as
1t now stands. As values now stand.
it proposes the payment of the United
States bonds in a currency less valua.
BILE than that in which Pendleton in
1868 proposed to pay them. The bill
makes silver dollars a legal.tender in
payment for all debts of the United
States. The silver dollar, if coined,
would now be worth less than the
greenback dollar. The opponents of
the Silver bill maintain that it cannot
be otherwise construed than to mean
that the entire outstanding indebted
ness of the United States may be paid
in this deprecated silver dollar, which
is a proposition to pay them in a nom-
inal dollar of less value than the green
back dollar. The inflationists in the
House have become so strengthened
since the st. Louis Convention that
there can be no doubt that the House
will concur in almost anything the
South proposes, though the Senators
are not all agreed as to its effects.

mention Of the silver dollar and to making it

national debt was contracted, and conse-
qnently bondholders have no right to COM
plain if paid in silver now, when it is worth
but 80 cents in gold. On the other hand It

Speaker Kerr in, a letter received at
Washington, writes. s.more hopefully than at
anytime since his recent illness, but the in.
dication Of increasing strength is in his hand
writing, which appears as firm and vigorous
as formerly, and though the letter covers five
closely-written pages, his hand seemed to
have been as steady at the conclusion as at
the beginning. It is we'll known that Mr.
Kerr's, ill-heath, has been due to bronchial

of the springs has wonderfully relieved these

to recuperate. His physician says if he con-

A Terrible Disaster.

The Steamship st. Clair was burned

10th, and twenty -six PERSONS are supposed
to have gone down with the burning vessel.
The fire was first discovered in her hold and
spread instantly Up alongt the smoke staokto
the. cabin and hurricane deck. Only one
boat could be reached, the other being envel-
oped in flames, 2 81 The boat was launched, and
the terror-stficken passengers and crew
jumped Immediately into it, Just as it was
clearing from the steamers side, a passen-
ger jumped into it from the hurricane deck,
striking the gun wale,, capsizing her. She
was righted but capsized several times more
before she could leave the burning vessel.
There were on board Of the St. Clair sixteen
passengers Ind crew of fifteen, making tllir-
ty-one in all. Five persons saved, and it is
almost certain that the other twenty six have
perished.

subject, and says that if he fails to get troops
he will advise his people to arm themselves,
and to sell their lives as dearly as possible.
