THE FEAR OF DEATH.
RY WILLIAM PRESTON JOHNSTON.

What is this fear of death?
Is it the dying?
The gasp of the last struggling breath,
When life is flying?
fading memory of this world of sorrow,
dark foreshadowing of fearful morrow?
Is it the beaded brow,
The eye that glaZes,
The once strong arm, so feeble now;
The unknown maZeS
Of those dread chambers, through whose
lOw'ring portals
Return no more the feet of entering mortals?
Is it that-all forgot,
No loved ones keepings
Sad, tender watch above the spot
Where we lie sleeping
We shrink to think upon the earthly pillow,
The votive urn, the sod, the pendant willow?
Strive to forget the grief
Der death that fingers;
The choking sobs, the farewells brief,
The picking fingers
A blazon for deaths overhanging banner.
Forget them, feeble Mani
But oh remember
The fading ember
Springs from the ashes toward the bliss SUI
pernal,
To spaces infinite and realms eternal.

Sensitiyeness of Flame.

Curious experiments have been maae
in England, which prove that there !
some mysterious connection between
burning flame and the agitation OF t ~
air produced by sounds. A delicate ls'
of flame shows an extraordinary. sensl-
tiveness even to sounds when arc
scarcely heard by the human ear. " men
bunch of keys is shaken, the name 10 !.
comes violently agitated and eml.s
loud roar. The dropping OF a slxpene =
into a hand already containing CON, =
distance of 20 yards, knocks the ns INC
down. Walking across the MOOT ri
tates the flame, the creaking Of Do ~
sets it in commotion, and SO ooes ~. ~
crumpling or tearing OF paper OF .r
rustic of silk dress, or even the pau,
of rain-drop. If a watchis nela = no .ss
though nobody in the room hears 'a y
ticking, the flame falls and roar a =
every tick. The twittering OF a ais aa.s
sparrow excites it to shrek, as W.
also the note of cricket. The eAP. .hs
mentors have not yet DISCOVERIES ~ ~
cause of the sensitiveness. All sou thu
do not produce visible effects. ;oh /
flame seems to select those for WHICH
has a sympathy, and to them M y n
spends. To others it seems 10 nav =
aversion, and to them it will MAKE
response.

his hands, was silent for few minutes,
while l feared to speak, lest should say
the wrong thing. At length he looked
up suddenly, and went on:
Why is it that when man holds in
his hand the most precious gift of the
gods, he always casts it away7 Think
what had been-what / had done to
win her! When was Giles Interford,
a grabbed, old eccentric, in a cursed
malformation of body, had coveted her
love, and by some SPELL dom t remem-
Der it now forgot so many things that
he knew won her to marry me,
thinking could make her love me after
ward. And l could have done it but for
that cursed boy. And when 1 saw she
loved him, had stolen his body and
killed him, and had gone on in the only
way possible to win her heart. You do
not think for an instant that it was any
thing to have her without her heart?
l wouldn't have lifted a finger for her
closest caress if it had not been prompt
ed by her love.
"And think how cleverly / had done
it all! Even she would never have
known that she was marrying the same
man again if 1 had only had the self
command to have played the part with
out faltering. But as my love grew
mightier--as felt her burning kisses,
each one of them an offering such as
Jove might have longed for-I began to
be jealous.
Giles Interford was jealous of Har-
vey Dunlop. I began to realize that the
kisses that were pressed on my lips were
actually given to my rival. In the in
toxication of my passion had fancied
at first that she loved me; but now I
knew it had been the other man all the
time-the man had killed.
"And, one day, as 1 sat beside her
talking, was thinking this over and
over until my rage was white-hot. You
see, l made Dunlop do the talking
whilst l was thinking. At length she
emphasized something she had said by
laying her hand on mine. looked at
it for moment-it was a beautiful hand,

lhY TELEGRAPH TO TIE -RIEuv-l
WAsHNGrOV, July 3O.-A clsc which came no be-
fore Judge Wiley in the Equity Court OF this Dis
t7ict to-day brought to light q rather Startling fact
M regard 10 the disbursement Of Che funds of the
House of Representatives.
The suit that OF Albright ct AL against the
Emery Coal Company Of this city. 1t seems ihatth
Emery Coal Company had made an assignment for
the benefit of ITS creliiors Tut delivering coal
30 some of its customers on the ground that 10 had
been sold 10 them before the failure and actually
belonged to them and not to the assets of the Com
pany. Albright, representing a firm from which the
Company purchased coal, asked FOR the appointment
oi Receivers and this request bad been acceded 10
10y rhe Court, A. l.. Barbour and Mills Dean of this
CITY having been selected for shat trust.
The question which arose to-day was in relation to
the delivery of coal TO customers. and As
sstant District-Attomey Wells appeared o.
look after the interest of the Government.
IL seems that coal had been purchased
from this company FIR tn. of the House of
Il 'resentatIyes, and, although 1t had not been de-
Lycred certain sum of money had been advanced
on account. The Assistant Distrlct-Attorney desir
that the Court should order the coal to ne delivered
50 that the Government might lose nothing. This
was. of course opposed by the other creditors The
law against advancing money on Government CON
tracts is very explicit, and if any loss occurs It viii
probably have to be- borne by the officer Of the
House under whose authority he money was pIid.
