Beyond the Stars.

TIE moon sends down her silver rals,
And here and there star is seen
That sparkles with dazzling shcen'
With longing eyes upward gaze
While thought and fancy traverse ways
Hsyond the range Of yision-idr
Beyond yon farihest, brightest star,
yheard in childhood Of cline,
A sunny cline with shady bowers
A land Of fairest fruits and flowers,
of sights and sounds and songs sublime;
Beyond the boundary line OF Time
This land ofoldeu story lies;
At times we call it Paradise
In that far country, we are told,
A high eternal city stands
A city builded not with hands
Whose gates and walls Of pearl and gold
With splendor glisten, as OF old
They looked and shone ere man was made
Or earth's foundation stones were laid.
Grand is the palace of the King
Who sits upon great white throne"
And reigns in majesty alone;
While all His subjects tribute bring,
And seraphim of many wing
Before Him, in the sacred place,
With reverence veil their feet and face.

Antique Marbles at Rome.

Nothing more forcibly attests the i'm
perial power and magnifcence Of Rome,
at the height of her glory, than the frag-
ments of precious marbles which almost
every excavation among her ruins brings
to light. Even if her history were lost 70
US, these varied bits of stone would tell
in language stronger than words the story
of her universal dominion, when her ships
sought every cline, and every land paid
tribute to her luxury. This piecerehects
the glowing suns of Numidia, that the
green of Tempe's Vale; this was quarried
on Pentelicus, this in storied Chios, and
these tell of Gallic and Of Hispanic con
quest. Many have a double history, haV-
ing served to decorate some forum or
temple of the East before its spoliation
by Mummius or a Sulla.
Toward the end of the second century
B. @. the Romans, who had become con-
versant with Greek arts through their
conquests, began to appreciate sculpt-
ures and precious marbles, and from that
time onward almost every captured city
was rifled its treasures. Not only were
all the quarries of the world put under
contribution, but statues, columns, ana
capitals, slabs, pavemeuts, and sometimes
entire edifces, were transported to Rome
Carthage, from the time fits destruction
furnished an almost inexhsustible sup
ply. Edrisi, the Arab geegrapher Of tne
twelfth century, says that marbles Of 50
many different species were found among
its ruins that it would be impossible "
describe them. Blocks thirty feet hig9
and sixty-three inches in diameter, ana
columns thirty feet in circumference'
were taken out.-Popular Science Ao1th1y'

A NATURAL fool, who lived in Kirk
caldy, well-known over a great part of
Fifeshire as "Daft Willie Law" was
pretty regular attendant on tent preach
ings, at time when these discourses were
in fashion. One very warm day in sum-
mer Willie was attending the preachings
at Abbot's Hall, he being near sighted,
and having a short neck, stood very near
the tent, gaping in the minister's face,
who, greatly irritated at number of his
hearers being fast asleep from the heat of
the weather, beating on the board of the
tent, bawled out: "For shame, Christians,
to lie sleeping there, while the glad IT,
dings of the gospel are sounding in your
ears, and here is Willie Law, a poor idiot,
hearing me with great attention" "Eh,
go! sir, that's true" says Willie "for

PIzarro tears Leonora away. She
rushes again to the prisoner and again
protects him. Just here, three bars be-
fore the momentOus passage, she made a
movement to the left, and in that same
instant Beethoven raised his head and let
his eyes fall on Leonora.
They glOwed like Goals of fre-those
eyes in the orchestra-those dreadful
eyes. They met hers full. Was it
reality or the trick of some tormenting

everything danced before her. Only the
two balls of fire remained steady and
seemed to grow larger and larger. She

Then an ipdescribable terror fell upon
her. Her knees gave way. She grew
deathly faint. She bent backward, her
hands clutching convulsiveIy at her head.
The burning eyes grew larger and more
terrible, and now

eyes.
Terror, more and more intense, had
been expressed in her every attitude, her
every look and motion, but it was all so
appropriate to the dramatic situation that
the audience were moved to the very
heart. The young artistic, thanks to those
fair eyes, had come to her Leonora through
anguish and fear. She herself said, later:
"What, with all the strength of my imag-
ination, and all the exercise of my intelli-
gence, l couldn't accomplish, was done for
me in one decisive instant by real ag-
ony of terror"
When the curtain had fallen, Beethoven
hurried behind the scenes. He embraced
Wilhelmine - her mother - everybody
He would have liked to hug the whole
world to bis exultant heart. His eyes
beamed, and again taking Wilhelmine in
his arms, he said: my Leonora, my own
Leonors, thanks-thanks. Now my opera
will be immortal - immortal through
you"

RACING WITH THE GIRLs.-The Kirghiz
Tartars have horse races, from twenty to
thirty miles in length. The winner, who
accomplishes the distance at the rate of
eighteen or twenty miles an hour, some
times receives eight or nine horses as a
prize. Occasionally, when there is hol-
idsy, the girls mount the swiftest horses
they can borrow, and challenge the men
to race.
A girl gallops across the steppe-prai-
rie, we would call it, pursued by horse
man, who strives to place his hand round
her waist, she doing her best to prevent
him by hitting him across the head with
a whip. If the man does not succeed, he
is still more unfortunate. For she gallops
round him, and so belabors him that not
unfrequently he falls from his horse, and
is saluted by the hootings and laughter
of the crowd. But if he places his hand
round her waist, she surrenders at once,
and they ride of together.
Among the Turkomans the question
as tO which is to marry the prettiest girl
is often decided in a similar manner.
The young lady, mounted on the swiftest
horse, and allowed good start, is fol-
lowed by her admirers. She avoids those
whom she dislikes, and manages to throw
herself in the way of the favored lover
The moment she is caught she becomes
the wife of the captor, and goes with him
to his tent.

ABOUT-THE SEQUEL IN

Mr.. Leopold Stern was a commercial
traveller for the business house of Sutro

for them mainly in the West and South

his sales, and being an active salesman,
was enabled to make very good wages.
While on trip in the South he received
instructions from one of the partners in
the firm to proceed to New Orleans and
there further the partners suit for the
hand of very attractive young woman
whom the partner had previously seen.
The commercial traveller did his part

arranging affairs with the maiden, go
that she might look not with disfavor
on the partner, and on his return ascer-

business. that afforded no commissions.
Applying for payment for his services,
he was given $500. He could easily
have made 5000 in that time, he aver

A Speaking AutOmatOn.

The latest marvel (says a London
correspondent among mechanical auto
mata-beating even Maskelyne's card
playing Pyscho-is lay figure which
actually speaks. A French professor
named Fabre has spent twenty years
in constructing the ingenious mechanism
of this talking Frankenstein, and the
counterfeit presentment" of man
which it completely resembles in appear
ance-is being exhibited in Brussels
The figure has organisms corresponding
to the arrangement of the mouth, the
larypx, and chest, and, strange to say,
there are keys arranged behind the fig
ure so as, when pressed, to produce a
kind of vocal piano, each key represen-
ting vocal sound, and the operation be-
ing able to 'play upon words" in the
manner of the human articulation.
This talking Psyche can, in fact, carry
on a conversation; and the movements
of the mouth are so like nature that the
machine is to be used for teaching the
deaf and dumb how to carry on sys-
tenn of speech by initiating the lip
movements of the talking figure.

Vanderbilt.

The Churchman quotes the following
from an Eastern paper, which in justice
to the Commodore we republish:
Commodore Vanderbilt endowed a
a university in Tennessee with million
of dollars; he built church for the
Moravians at New Dorp on Staten Is
land, and gave it a large tract of land
for cemetery, and he had projected a
scheme for building near it a seminary
for girls; he bought an old church in
Mercer street, N. Y, and opened it as
free church for strangers; he gave a
great steamship, which cost him mil
lion dollars, to the government during
the war: his daily benefactions for many
years averaged a thousand dollars.

Asht. .bula Disaster.

Albert Congdon, who was the master
machinist of the Lake Shore road at the
time the Ashtabula bridge was built.
has given his evidence before the Cor
oner's inquest. From his fra!.k state
ment it appears: lst, that the ma terial
provided tor the bridge was insufficient
I'd, that he who constructed it did not
consider himselfa competent bridgeman
and Sc, that Mr.. Rogers, who was direct.
ed to erect it, did hot know how. And
this was on road which, we are told,
is one of the most carfully managed in
the land. Charles Collins, the chief
engineer Of the road, has committed
suicide.
