Then and Now.

"You cannot, oh day-star of my life, u
he pleaded, throwing himself at her feet;
"you cannot refuse the rich, exhsustless
mine of love pour out at your feet, you
cannot turn away from the rare treasures
of my hearts devotion that l cast before
you, you cannot turn away from all this
lavish wealth of heart and hand that is
yours to take, and say me nay" She
couldn't and she didn't; it sounded too
wealthy. That was nearly four years
ago. Day before yesterday he gave her
So 50 to run the house for week, and
when she said she would have to have a
new pair of shoes he raised the appro-
priation an even dollar, and grumbled
about woman's extravaganza till he was
out of hearing. Oh woman, woman,
thou of the tender heart and trustful
soul, if you don't scalp man raw every
time you get a chance, you are little
idiot, all the same.-HaUk-Eye

The Capture of Hyenas.

The following mode of tying hyenas
in their den, as practiced in Afghanis-
tan, is given by Arthur Connolly, in his
Overland Journal, in the words of an
Afghan chief, the Shirkaroe Synd Daond ::
"When you have tracked the beast to
his den you take a rope with two slip
knots upon it in your right hand, and
with your left holding felt cloak be-
fore you, you go boldly but quietly in.
The animal does not know the nature of
the danger, and therefore retires to the
back of the den, but you may always
tell where his head is by the glare of his
eyes. You keep moving gradually
toward him on your knees, and when
you are within distance throw the cloak
over his head, close with him, and take
care he does not free himself The
beast is so frightened that he covers
back, and, though he may bite the felt,
he cannot turn his neck round so as to
hurt you, SO you quietly feel for his
forelegs, slip the knots over them, and,
then, with one strong pull, draw them
tight up to the back of his neck and tie
them there. The beast is now your own,
and you can do what you like with him.
We generally take those we catch home
to the krall, and hunt them on the plain
with brides in their mouth. that our
dogs may be taught not to fear the brutes
when they meet them wild"

Russia Triumphant.

The capture of Kars, just at the be-
ginning of the Armenian winter, is an
inestimable advantage to Russia. 1t is
the loss to Turkey, not only of NUM-
tons of war which she cannot easily re-
place, and the services of $4,000 men,
killed, wounded, and prisoners, but also
of Erzeroum and all Armenia. Gen.
Melikoff's army is released to join Gen.
Heymann's, and with this preponderance
of strength the capital cannot be long
held. The details of the storming Of
the Kanli redoubt and the Kara-Dagh
fortress illustrate the splendid bravery
of the Russian soldiers no less than the
improved military science of the COM
manders. Though flushed by the pride
of such victory, and perhaps little in
clined to undervalue the desperate de-
fensive energy of the Turks, it is not
likely that the Russian Generals will be
guilty of any blunder serious enough to
change the fate of the campaign. In a
very short time they will possess Ar
menia.-Nev York Tribune.

The Throne OF King Cotton.

This snowy potentate has removed his
throne west of the Sabine river. Texas
is now the chief seat of his sovereignty.
That State produces more of the staple
than any other in the Union. Missis-
sippi ranks next, and Arkansas follows.
The cotton area of the Lone Star State
has scarcely been touched as yet. With
In the next ten years her production OF
cotton will be immense, owing to the
heavy emigration to the region in which
the plant darts from the soil.

TO A FRIEND WHO SLEPT ILL.


How hast thou aneered into stern disdain
That mild, compassionate god round whose
bowed head
Tho clustering peoples droop their drowsy red
5quanus, that walks the world from twilight's wane
Al tho long night till day be born again,
While after him shadowy legion streams
Inc pale diaphanous floating forms of dreams?
Nc kisses brows that ache from earthly care;
file soothes to peace the indignant souls of slaves
Ger many eye grown tired with tears he waves
Those rich-dyed languid flowers that his hands
bear;
And yet for thee no tender spell doth spare,
q friend that liest awake and nearest night
Flow on past banks of time in stealthy might!
An, would that L who am loved right well of Sleep
Might make fond intercession, friend for thee,
Each night when some shy dream should visit me
I'm Che dusk halls of sumber, vague and deep;
.lSoth the dreams dim hands would seize and
Keep,
Praying of her TO speed, with tender charms
And wreathe about thy neck two balmy arms

Only drunkard staggering by;
Bee that he eonss not our door too nighs
Clothes tattered and mangled,
Hair matted and tangled ~
sneer on his LIP and leer in his eye;
Only drunkardl dirty and torn,
Forsaken and helpless, bereft and for1orn
Once he was classed with the nobest Of men
Hearts, hands, and sweet words bestowed on him
Clubs formed his festive ring,
Women loved TO hear HIM sing
Thousands were swept on the now Of his penl
Only drunkard CHANGING to meet
The jam and push OF the crowded street.
Only drunkardi bathed deep in his glance,
Beauty and fashion Joined free in his dance
Pushed back and josted fast
Strangers go mocking past.
Friends shrug their shoulders and eye him askance;
Only a drunkard muttering now,
His trembling palm on his fevered brow.
Once at the altar he knelt with his bride;
His mothers idol his fathers pride,
They In the dusty grave,
He an nebriate slave,
Dashing a wreck ON the wild drunken tide
Only drunkard an incarnate moan;
skeleton sigh; an embodied grosn
Only drunkard! ere yet two score,
he moved with his peers on Senate door;
or ne plead the peoples cop, cause,
The clint OF his wealth shone from shore to shore
Only drunkard In the cup at his lips
The sun Of his glory went down In eclipse!
Only drunkard! his countries name
Armed him to dare through the battles fame;
when hail of shot ana shell
On him in tempests fell
He fought to the last for the hagsof our fame
Only u drunkardl patriot soul
Plunged in the fires of the hellish bowl
Only q drunkard! Oh, pity hun still
Awaken his courage reform his viii
Pluck him from ruins ledge!
Hold him by honor's pledbel
The hopes of his life he shall yet fulhll
Only drunkard there's Que who viii save

THE SERMON.

One summer morn in the village church,
Where all Is cool and dim,
Gathered the poor and aged folk,
And sang solemn hymn.
And dim and feeble are the eyes
That on the preacher look;
Wrinkled and trembling is the hand
That holds the singing-book.
Now, when the solemn song is done,
The preacher takes his stand
And tells of what the prophet saith
" The day of the Lord at hand"
youth goes with them from the church,
Firm mid their tread is his;
They thinking of the day 10 come,
He of the day that il.
