on THE OTHER SIDE"

Oh heart, my heart, how strange to yearn no
more
With weepings bitter for the long lost peace;
How strange to find thyselt at Heavens door
Where tears forever cease.
In the fair country where sin enters not,
And where adibcth everlasting rest,
Think you, my soul your sins shall lie forgot,
And We be blest
No more, no more, to hunger there for love,
No more to thirst for blessings long desired
''Thy face is foul with weeping" but above
Thou shall he satisfied!
What shall it lie to find all fair within,
Pure as the angles in the highest Heaven;
TO feel no more temptations, and no sin
That needs to be forgotten:
No more repining-no more vain regret;
No longing to lie down and fall asleep?
Oh heart, my heart, how strange when We
forget
The way to weep!
Oh, light devine that shineth from his face.
In the fair country that doth need no sun!
Oh, happy soul, be thankful that thy race
Is well nigh run?
Roll golden sun-roll swiftly toward the west;
Down happy day when many woes shall
cease;
Come quickly, Lord, thy people wait the rest
OF Thine abiding peace.

Fighting for the Flag.

Perhaps one of the bitterest regrets
the officers and men of the Seventh
Cavalry will have for the unfortunate
battle of the Little Big Horn, will be
the loss of their standards. General
Custer carried with him into action on
that occasion, not only his own divis-
ion flag, but the regimental standard,
both Of which were captured by the
Indians. In addition to the division
and regimental flags, Custer lost
five guidons carried by the five
companies that were with him. Colo.
mel Reno on his field lost three of the
seven guidons carried into battle.
Of the fighting around Clusters flags,
nothing is known. but the battle on
Reno's side ragged hardest whenever
the smaller tailed flags appeared.
Again and again the color.sergrants
were shot down, and their places i'm
mediately filled by others. About one
flag three men were killed and wound
ed, but it was at last borne off the field
in safety. Lieutenant De Rudio. see
ing troop-hag fall, dismounted and
picked it up, and carried it away
through volleys from the Indian line;
but he afterwards lost it in the timber,
where it became entangled in the
branches of tree, and before he could
loosen it the Indians charged and cap

Big Horn, the Indians have no less

Exciting Scenes Among De Witt Talmage's

When De Witt Talmage proved his

the temptations of watering-places at

mansion on the corner of Oxford
street and DeKalb avenue in Brookly..

weary of it, so they invited another
couple to share the spoils Of the man

did not stay long, and another couple
were invited, by DR.. Talmage's con-
sent. The last-named pair consisted
Ct young lawyer named Squires and
his wife. For few days matters
moved along satisfactorily. Then
there was difficulty about the food,
then the ladies could not agree, and as
result separate tables were main
tanned. The divided house could not
go on in this way, and the next scene
was wordy controversy between
Mrs. Squires, Mr.. and Mrs. Cobb. The
women were especially violent. but
the day ended without anybody being
hurt. At length Elder Cobb wrote
letter to Mr.. Squires in which he re-

Cobb put in an appearance and opened
the wounds afresh. One word led
to another, and finally blow was

hood yelled, and still the punching
continued until a policeman interfered
and prevented further hostilities.
Squires and his wife left the house,
and now the conduct of Elder Cobb

The Last Scene in the Seryian Tragedy.

A correspondent of the London Dali
ly Telegraph writes from Belgrade :
This Seryian play, with it's murky at
mosphere Of gunpowder, it's lurid flash
es Of fire and grim gatherings of steel,
it's deafening noise, it's hurry and con-
fusion-above all. it's final display of
cocpses, disposed in grisly heaps
amongst frowning rocks, and bearing
silent witness to Il ferocity content
with nothing short of extermination-
has REQUIRED often and very wildly to
my mind during the last two or three
days. while have been reading the
latest accounts Of the conflicts recently
waged upon Servian soil. The crown
ing catastrophe during the war threat
ems to resemble with awful fidelity that
Of the drama in question. AS the Ser.
vians have sown so are they reaping.
Themselves blood-thirsty and merci-
less, they have challenged a no less
sanguinary and pitiless foe, superior
to them in numbers, courage. discipline
and endurance. The Osmanli does not
do the atrocious work of wal in a half
hearted way; when his blood is stirred
and his passions intiamed, he ''kills,
burns, and destroys" nor can lie be
restrained from SO doing by anything
short of death or disablement. The
most Obedient and even placable Of
men when his pulse beats temporarily,
fanaticism and the excitement of bat
tle-sounds convert him into furious
monomaniac. whose one idea is "De.
stroy.' I have seen him at this sort
of work once in it, he is well nigh rs
dangerous to friend as to foe. And he
is in it now, up to the hits.
Were the war miraculously put a
stop to to-day, Servia, though she mer.
it's a severe lesson for her treachery
and lawless ambitious, would be found
to have already suffered punishment
more than adequate to the degree of
her turpitude. Devastation, annihil-
iation, as far as such an achievement
may be physically possible, bear
CHASTITY witness to the passage of the
Turkish troops, as they press irresist-
IDLY forward to the heart of the prin-
cipality. What horrible tidings are
these that reach us daily! Where are

Folly's Revenge.

Mrs. BIS parrot was very fond of
crackers and milk. and SO was Tom.
her cat, who would watch her chance
to rob poor Polls tin cup, running his
long fore paw through the bars of the
cage and taking out piece by piece
until the dish was empty. One unlucky
day Tom sat by the side Of the Gu e.
Polly, as usually, scratching his head
and whispering in an unknown lang
guage, when, as sudden as flash of
lightning, he grabbed the cat tail in
his bill and bit off nearly an inch as
smoothly as if it had been done with Il
knife. Then such roars of triumph,
laughter, and fun; he did not stop
screaming for an hour. Tom stole no
more.

\ Knowing Dog.

Norwich Bulletin.
There is a knowing dog, who lives
on the West side. \ day or two ago,
his master feeling too Ill to go out,
sent a negro boy to buy some meat for
the dog. Being unable to obtain the
meat at the nearest market, the boy
undertook to so to another, but
the dog refused to let him come out of
the first one without the meat. At
length the boy showed him the money
which he still retained. and the dog
permitted him to go, but instead Of
running ahead of him as at first, kept
by his side, giving an occasional growl
as an Indication that he was not to be
trit1ed with, and evidently under the
impression that his funds were in dam
ger OF being embezzeled.
