the rear Of the Centre Church, New Haven't
twas in the old colonial time,
Two hundred years ago,
That a strange and grimly man was seen,
With locks as white as snow,-
While a bushy beard, that was never drest,
Hung elf-like over his withered breast.
He dwelt in cave in the mountain-side,
Which Natures hands had scooped
Dripping and chill was its rock-barred vault
Where murky shadows dropped;
And they spoke with awe who had ventured
nigh,
OF the terrible light in his wizard eye.
And thither the bear would sometimes roam,
Or the rattlesnake wind his horn,
Or the panther watch through the live-long
night, 5u.
But hasten away at morn;
While the Indian hunter stayed his bow
At the sight of that man of age and woe.
Full many legend the nurses told,
The wayward child to scare;
OF the horrible creature who lived alone,
Like lion in his lair;
Who had no fire meath the coldest sky,
Save the torch that burned in his sleepless eye.
But once, when bold ones climbed the cliff.
With its steep and rocky stair,
And dared to enter his dismal den,
They found it empty and bare; iV,.t
Yet trembling searched, lest his muttering
tone,
Should turn the listeners ear to stone.
And then, in the home of holy man,
Where Holyoke towers in pride,
That strange and spectral form was seen
With noiseless step to glide;
And rumor said, though the sunbeam played,
No sign 1t gave, and no shadow made.
But still within that quiet home
The inmates knew no dread
When that mysterious being stole
To lonely meal or bed
And the babe in its innocence felt no fear
AT the sightofthatguest SO ghastly and drear.
For there the prayer of faith went up,
AT morn and eyentide, gUrfe{ 8
And Christ's dear love had living root
To shelter and to guide;
And he who weareth such blessed charm,
No power of evil can work him harm.
AT length, near the base of that mountain
rude,
Where his earliest haunt was made,
And where the City of Elms unfolds ha5r)
Its beauty Of light and shade
That stranger slept, in the churchyard clay,
But who made his grave there is none to say.

BY falling. all inequalities once existing In
the position OF tho leaves are done away. The
leaf OF the topmost branch now hes on level
with the leaf OF the lowest branch. When the
leaves lie on the ground no one can point ont
which occupied the high or the low position.
SO the grave levels all inequalities among men.
The king is now no more royal than the slave
the Rothschild no richer than the beggar.-
Addison speaks as follows OF his visit to West
munster Abbey "when look upon the tombs
of the great, every emotion OF envy dies in me.
- When / see kings lying by those who de-
posed them. when see rival wits lying side by
side. or holy men that divided the world by
their contests and disputes reflect with sor-
row and establishment on the little competitions,
factions and debates Of mankind" lN
5 The falling OF the leaf is necessary to its
rising to higher life. That leaf, ~ leaf, can
never be anything uorei ithsE become oil ths,
it can as leaf; IT has reached the highest
limit of Its development in it's present FORM
But lot it fade, fall to the ground. 60 out OF
sight, become part Of the soil, and II may in
the spring come up in higher form OF ffe-a
beautiful flower, or, petchsncs, some luscious
fruit We live out our allotted time here--we
become all that we can be in this world-then.
l;ka the laaf we fade and die we psss out OF
sight, but, like the leaf, this Is only that We
may come up again in higher form OF exist
ence. Death Is necessary that this mortar
may put on immortality and this corruption
put on interruption"
We do not like to have tho birds leave us in
the Autumn: we miss their songs but those
sweet warblers are not dead--they have not
ceased to sing. In imagination we can hear
them to-day as they sing amid the rice-felds OF
South Carolina, the swamps of Old Virginia
and the everglades of Florida We can hardly
wish to call them back from that warm chime
to sthis land OF winter Thus do we mourn to
see our friends leave us in death. We miss their
voices. But they are not dead. Their voices
are net silent. Had we the spiritual sense that
shall ono day be ours, we could hear them to-
day as they sing in the circles OF the redeemed
Oh, happy thought that meetings there
Will neer parting know,
And purest joys e'er known on earth,
Will to perfection grow; lf
The fallen ieaues from friendships bower,
Will there all gathered be; -fr4.
Nor blight, nor death can e'er destroy
Through vas. eternity.

A Skillful Equine Operation,

Edging around in front of the animal
the reporter saw that sure enough q tube
had been inserted in the windpipe mid
way between the head and shoulders,
through the opening of which the horse
was inhaling and exhaling oxygen with
all the force and capacity of a black
smiths bellows. A little inquiry elected
the facts from MI. Woodin. The horse
"a fine large black had formerly been
used as a bus horse for the Bellows
House in Rock Island Some two
months ago the animal had a violent at
tack of epizootic-so severe, indeed,
that the larynx, or opening of the wind
pipe, had been swollen shut, and the
horse seemed likely to die of %suffocation.
He was then taken to Matt. Fishers
stables, in Davenport, where a veterinary
surgeon cut the windpipe as described
and inserted o siphon-shaped silver tube
about six inches in length, through
which the animal obtained his allowance
of air. The tube has a thin facing, to
which the straps are attached which
keep it in place. The horse does not
suffer the least inconvenience from the
arrangement, and is as full of life as
ever. It will be seen that by this mode
of treatment all strain is removed from
the obstructed larynx, leaving it in the
best possible shape for doctoring. AS
soon as the swelling subsidies and the
natural passage is again open, the tube
will be removed, the hole sewed up and
the horse is himself again. As we have
said the horse was used at the Bellows
House before his sickness, but when
Mr.. Jarvis, the present proprietor. took
charge, he shipped the animal down to
his Island Farm, in exchange for one
that was sound, which accounts for the
presence of the horse on III streets, and
consequently for this item.-Muscatine

How the Car Corners HouOrs.

Two hundred officers of I'll ranks
breakfast and dine daily at his table,
writes the London Times war cores
pondent in Bucharest, referring to the
car. From the youngest to the oldest
every eye is fixed on him. Before the
meal, in the assembled circle, as the
Gear appears, it is een one day that
an aide.de-camp behind him carries q
cushion with crosses on it, and, perhaps,
half q dozen sword knots of honor-the
riband of st. George, orange and black
to be worn attached to the sword hilt.
Instantly expectation is at its height.
The czar's voice calls the chosen name,
all make room for the envied man to
pass, he comes blushing and flushed,
receives the prize, bends low to kiss the
imperial hand, and retires bowling at
every step, a made man for life, the ad-
mired and courted of all beholders.
Then he. has to go through the usual
embracing and kissing on both cheeks
of his friends.
= The effect of the system is Like magic;
it is to concentrate oil power and au-
thority absolutely in one center. Inc
ear is the earthly providence of the
soldier and officer, as well IS the EN-.
bodiment of the military power and
glory of his country. I have seen old
officers 30 overcome with this mark OF
distinction that they went about TOR
ten minutes after like children, weep
ing, with the priced decoration in their
hands, showing it round, half dazed.
No system can be imagined more calcu-
lated to stimulate individual efforts to
the utmost. Yet, with all this squirting,
there is something wanting. 1t is the
individuality and the habit of spontan-
eous action, which only the education
and modes of thought of q free people
can supply. Whether it be the long
standing faint Of serfdom, whether it be
too much imperialism, the initiative is
wholly absent. You tell the Russian
what to do, and he will spring to it like
an obed1ent child. In a year it never
would have occurred to him to do it Of
himself.

November.

When thistle-blows do lightly foat
About the pasture-height,
And shrills the hawk a parting note,
And creeps the frost at night,
Then billy no though singing so,
And whistle as 1 may,
There comes again the old heart pain
Through all the livelong day.
In high wind creaks the ~lealess tree
And mods the fading fern;
1he knobs are dun as snow-clouds be,
And cold the Jul does burn.
Then no, hollo though calling 80,
I cannot keep it down;
And tears arise unto my eyes,
And thoughts are chill and brown.
Far in the cedars' dusky stoles,
Where the se.s ground-vine weaves,
The partridge drums funeral rolls
Above the fallen leaves.
And hip, hip, no though cheering 30,
1t stills no whit the pain;
For drip, drip, drip, from bare branch-tip,
I hear the years last rain. 80
So drive the cold COWS from the hill,
And call the wet sheep in;
And let their stamping clatter fill
The barn with warming din.
And no, folk, no /! though it is 80
That we no more may roam,
We still will find q cheerful mind
Around the fire at home!

The House OF heep.
The great success OF the Keep Manufac-
turing Company is owing to their making the
beet goods at the lowest price, doing a strictly
cash business, and letting the public know
what they are doing. It is no secret that the
Keep "partly made" shirts have taken q ire
mendous hold on the public favor. The ease
with which these garments are made up by
wife, mother or daughter commends the "part-
" made to all family men. Nobody now need
put the ladies OF his household to the trouble
Of making shirts at home. For those who prefer
their shirts completely made, the Keep Com
pany Dress shirt is furnished, made to their
own measure, if desired, at the rate Of 50 for
half a dozen, with fine gold-plated sleeve and
collar buttons thrown in. The underwear bust
ness has assumed large proportions in the hands
Of this e~nterprising house. Canton fannel
drawers are now finding immense sale, as well
as u~ndershirts. The undershirts and drawers
Of red flannel are in great demand for under
wear. They, as we'll as the 'partly made "
shirts, are furnished for actually less than it
would cost an individual purchaser to buy the
material at q retail dry goods store.

A Remarkable Curiosity.

A correspondent of an English paper,
writing from South Africa, describes a
visit to a remarkable curiosity, near
Christiana, a Transvaal border town {:
Saaron, sometimes called Zoutspan, is a
large stretch of ground about fifteen
miles from Christiana, on the sides of an
extensive salt pan, which on my ap.
proach presented o remarkable appear
anc All the water had dried up, and
the snow-white salt glistening in the
moonlight over an extent of ground ], 800
metres in diameter each way had a most
bewildering effect, as I took bearings
carefully and rode right owe it. The
incrustations of the sides resemble in
taste nitre and soda, but the surface Of
the pan was a thick layer of pure salt.
Tho following day a succession Of whirl-
winds careened wei the pan, carrying
upwards to q height of seventy or eighty
yards large quantities of loose salt,
which was perfectly defined in the shape
of revolving white pillars.

A Fight with q Grizzly.

AA6he VA"
A short time ago, says the Virginia
New Chronicle, Mr.. Buchanan, re-
siding at McKinney's station, Lake Ia
hoe, was out hunting with two compan-
ions, when they suddenly came on q
grizzly bear. Mr.. Buchanan had dur
ing the summer trapped three grizzlies,
and had come to the conclusion that he
q born grizzly fighter, and accord
ingly, when his companions slid up their
respective trees, he made after the bear.
He hunted the bear for q few minutes, and
then the bear turned,and began to hunt
him. Buchanan rushed back at a pref.
ty lively pace to where his companions
we're freed, but they were so high up
that they could not hear him cry for as
sistance, or couldn't help him if they
did hear him. He had a shotgun loaded
with buckshot, and as the monster nea
ed him he attempted to shoot, but in his
hurry and excitement had only half
cooked the weepon. Finding, as he
supposed. that his gun was useless, he
began running around a clump of bush,
with the grizzly ct his heels. BE finally
cooked his gun, and when the bear was
but twenty feet. away let him have a
charge of buckshot in the side of his
head, which seemed to temporarily en-
barrass the animal. Bruin 500 recov-
cred, however, and went right after his
man, when he got the contents of the
second barrel in the same place.
Abashed, but not defeated, he went
again directly for Buchanan, who by
this time had rushed to climb the tree
where one of his cowardly companions
was indifferently looking down upon his
peril. At the foot Of the tree lay a load
ed rifle which the other had dropped,
and picking up this he shot the bear. as
he advanced, under the fore shoulder,
killing him, at which the other men
came down and congratulated him on
his escape. When the carcass was cut
up two balls were found near the heart.
imbedded in callous flesh, showing that
the bear had met with rough usage be-
fore.
