WHEN THE SONGS GONE OUT OF
YOUR LIFE"


When the songs gone out of your life,
That you thought would last TO the end
That first sweet song of the heart,
That no other days can lend
The song of the birds TO the trees,
The song Of the wind to the fowers.
The song that the heart sings low 10 itself
~. When it wakes in LIES morning hours.
You can start no other song,
ia Not even tremulous note aNll
Will falter forth on the empty air, a'
1t dies in your aching tbroat.
t II is all in vain that you try,
s7 ao.For the spirit OF song has fed
70 The nightingale sings no more TO the rose
81 When the beautiful flower In dead.
r. So let silence softly fall
-s.s On the bruised hearts quivering strings;
.ts, Perhaps from the loss OF all you may learn
= 90 The song that the seraph slngs; t.. ..
grand and glorious psalm
That will tremsle and rise, and thrill.
And fill your breast with its grateful rest,
And its lonely yearniDgs still. ...r.

press Of July 26, says:
Last evening one Of the most
horrible reports that has yet been
| circulated on our streets became
current but it was of such a terrible
nature that people talked ABOUT it
in low voices and a feeling Of
dread. \ deep well or cistern had
been found about fifteen miles from
the city, 10 which attention had
been called by sickening stencil
arising from it, and an investigation
being made disclosed he fact that
the cistern was half full Of the bod>
les CT dead men. women and chill
dren. the mangled bodies having
been thrown in in al positions and
conditions. Some had had their
throats cut, others were stabbed
through the hearts others again
had had their brains blown out.
In house near by was found |
secreted about $4,000 in money |
and large lot OF jeweIry and oth> |
er valuables and an Old hag OF
woman, who, when arrested, ,jeer-
ed at her captors aud declared the |
money found was only a little
pocket change belonging to my

times of these fires to give un>
usual potency to the consum-
ing elements Z? This is not ask
ed as a question that can be
answered, but Il question to
suggest inquiry, in it's rela-
tions to the extraordinary at
mospheric disturbances which
have marked this season, and
which, to some extent, char
acterized the period at which
the Chicago fire occurred. In
this last mentioned year, and
near about the time of the
Chicago calamity, there were
most disastrous forest and
prairie fires in Minnesota and
Wisconsin; and intelligent per-
sons who were eye-witnesses
to them, in Wisconsin, testi6-
ed that hot blasts swept the
country for miles in advance
Of the fire; that great lumi-
nous balls travelled the air in
the afflicted districts; and that
new flames started up at con-
siderable distances from the
main body of the confa gra-
ton. Assuming these state |
ments to be true, and they
have not been questioned
within our knowledge. there
would seem to have been
something in The air of that
region at that time which
gave it extraordinary poten~
cy to excite combustion, to
teed fire and to carry it over
long distances. What can our
m'eteorologists. physicists chem
lists and other scientists tell
us about this? Given these
coincident circumstances, are
there any relations between $
them; and does the atmos>
ohere at times get into a con-
1ition to make it extremely
susceptible to fire, or to give
t an unusual power to excite
md feed combustion If there :
'e any such influences, (even ,,
there be only suspicion of l
hem), and If this season, with r.
IS long list Of hurricanes, .
evere storms, and disastrous u
orest and city fires, be one of IL
ne seasons when such agen- q
les may be potent in the air, It
len it is a season to be on e'
uaro against the beginning gs sc
: fires whether by accident al
by Spontaneous combus> IN
on,' or by the fre-cracker 1r

re- Wealth is not a good thing
III itself: it is only a means to some
good end, and like all good things
may be perverted so as to prove
the direct curse to you and your
family. Many a man n the outcome
of life has reason to regret tha! be
ever possessed wealth. Material
prosperity has proved, in the house,
hold. moral ruin. The riches so
generously given are mo;h-eaten.
The man has proven Delinquent in
the duty pertaining to his high
trust. Wealth is not safe pos
session without a high moral aim,
and the use of that wealth to pro-
mote that aim.

AN EXTRAORDINARY SEASON,

reauers must have observed
something extraordinary in
the atmosphere and other phe-
nomena of this season. It has
been marked by numerous des-
tructive storms, and by an
unusual number of disastrous
confagrations. Both series
began very early in the sea-
son. There were forest fires
in the east, north and north
west within a very short time
after the evaporation of the
last moisture from the melted
SHOWS of the winter months;
and hurricanes began to set
in as early as the third week
in April. We printed a list
of these last Saturday. and by
that our readers were advised
of the great number Of them
for so early period Of spring
and summer, and also Of their
very destructive character.
Since then there has been an
other and the most furious and
extensive Of all, ranging and
raging over a stretch Of coun-
try from the Missouri river to
the upper Ohio some of the
outfanking gusts reaching ev-
en- to our own city. All of
these showed great electrical
disturbance, and, taking them
and the forest fires and the
widespread destruction by
fires in two cities, they furnish
condolences entitled to con-
sideration. We Cannot, Of
course, arrest or escape the
tornado, but we can do some
thing to reduce the risks Of
fire and this latter is thing
to be done most carefully at a
when there seems to be
an extraordinary SUSCEPTIBLE j;
ty to fire in the air. When a +
conflagration consumes half !
city in few hours, and a day $
Or two after that another f
sweeps away the more valu> t
able half Of another town, and q
when both disasters are the +
product Of fires that, under o
ordinary circumstances, would Q
ave been confined to the o.
in which they origi- ii
ated, or, at the worst, to two q,
+ three Others in the close vi p]
nifty surely such occurrences IA
1ould arouse the suspicion pf

Earnestness does not always
move with a clatter. There are
other things in this world which
are quite as pleasant and edifying
as the rub-a-dub-dub of a snare

ody is not generally the highest
style o. music. Have you never

Gus, and clamorous, and loud, but
who did not weigh heavy, after all

every one except the man who might
have profted by that piece of in
formation? And have you never
known man quiet and unosten-
tatious and faithful, and who was q
perpetual blessing, a golden man,
deep souled and true, whose memo~
ry fingered long after he was gone,
like light upon the hills after
gorgeous sunset?

coming is almost as the celestial
forces that bring it. The tide flows
down and shallow grows the stream,

Bonbonniers.

Lucy Hooper writes from Paris to the
Philadelphia Telegraph "The newest
bonbon boxes of the season unite
utility with beauty in very sensible
manner, being actual footstools with
mountings of gilt wood, covered with
pointed or embroidered satin, and
opening like box, the receptacle for
bonbons being placed inside. But
when the sugar-plums are all consum-
ed, and the holidays passed away, there
will remain, not q useless and perish
able toy, but a pretty addition to the
parlor furniture of the fortunate recip-
lent. A quaint bonbonniere, displayed
by Gourche, represents clearinghouse
in striped pink and white satin, with q
pretty little blonde head and naked
feet just protruding from the curtains
that veil the doorway. A fantastic
figure representing winter, a sort of
dryad, issuing from tae trunk of d
tree, draped in bark, powdered
with snow and fringed with icicles, is
very popular, but her lsdyship is an
extravaganza present to give, as her hol-
low tree-trunk is capaeious enough to
contain vast amount of sugar-plums.
Roller skates of actual size, laced over
pink Or blue satin boots, are among
the novel shapes of bonbonnieres, as
are also boxes stimulating fans, and
others with a single gigantic leaf, very
eautifu lily painted, forming the lid.
The ridiculously costly caskets that
were in vogue during the second
Empire-boxes covered with India
shawl bordering, or with rufffes of point
lace, or with valuable paintings set into
the lid-are out of fashion, and are no
more to be seen save when some one
of the great houses displays one or two,
merely as shog and all advertisement.
Time was when $500 was no unusual
price to be paid for one of these costly
toys, but those times are happily now
of the past.
