THE SONG or THE MYSTIC. .
DY FATHER RYAN.

| walked down the Valley Of Silence,
Down the dim, vOicclcss valley alone,
And hear not the sound of footstcp
Arouml me, hut Gods and my own;
And the hush of my heart is as holy
AS hoycrs where angels have flown.
Long ago was weary Of voices
Whose music my soul could not win,
Long ago wasI weary of noises
That fretted my soIl with their din,
Long ago was weary of places
Where met but the human and sin,
walked in the world with the worldly,
Yet craved what the world never gave;
And said, in the world each ideal
That shines like star on llfc's wave
Is toned on the shores Of the real
And sleeps like II dream IN the grave.
And still did pine for the perfect,
And still found tho false with the true
| sought mid the Eq;man of Heaven,
And caught a 9lcre glimpse of its blue
And sighed when the clouds of the Mortal
Yeiled even that glimpse from my view.
And toiled on, heart-tired of the Human,
And groaned mid the masses of men;
Til fnelt long ago at an altar,
And heard voice call me. Since then
| walk down the Valley OF Silence
That lies far beyond human ken.
Do you ask what found in the Yalley'
'IiS my trystng-place with the Divine,
And fell at the feet of the Holy
And around me voice said BE nlinen'
And then rose from the depths OF my soul
An echo, "My heart shall be thine"
Do you ask how live in the Vhllcyf
weep, and dream, and pray,
But my tears are rs sw ee t as the dewdr0ps
That fall on the roses in May;
And my prayer, like Il perfume from censor,
Ascendcth to God, night and day.
In the hush of the Valley of Silence
hear all the songs that | sing;
And the music H0ats down the dim valley
TIL each finds q word FOR a wing;
That to men like the doves of the dcIuge
The message of peace they may bring.
But far on the deep there are pillows
That never shall break on the beach,
And have heard songs in the silence
That never shall float into speech,
And have had dreams in the Valley
Too lofty for language to reach.
And have seen thoughts in the Valley,
All, me How my spirit was stirredl
They wear holy wells on their faces,
Their footsteps can scarcely be heard
They pass down the Valley like virgins,
Too pure for the touch of a word.
Do you ask me the place of this Valley,
To hearts that nre narrowed by care
1t lieth afilI between mountains,
And God and Ills angels are thero
And one is the dark mount of sorrow,
And one the bright mountain of prayer,

Z" Dixie"

When in 1857 Campbell's Min
strels were at Mobile, Dan. Emmet,
one of the members of the c0mpa-
ny, heard the negroes sing an air
and chorus while rolling cotton on
the levec, He thought it good A;
SO by little alteration he arranged
it into what is called "Walk
Around" which always winds up
the entertainment Of an Ethiopian
concert. 1t was success. In the
spring of 1861, when the war broke
out, Mrs. John Wood went to New
Orleans to play an engagement at
the Old NaritieS theater. She pro
duced " Pocdhontas.' Near the
close of the second act there is Il
Zouave march by the ladies of the
corps de ballet. At the rehearsal
of the piece the leader Of the or
chestra was in a quandary as to
what music they would have.
Carlo Patti (the leader) could not
select anything that would suit the
stage manager II. b. McDonugh),
and the consequence was that the
rehearsal came to a stand-Still. At
length Patti struck up " Dixie"
1t snited and was adopted, and was
played with a chOrus to the same
air. Dixie" took the town by
storm the pianos rang with it, the
boys sang it, and the negroes whis-
tied it. \ musician by the name
of Romeo Minera arranged il for u
march for the Washington Artillery
Battery, and from that hour till
now all Southern men and women
hail it with delight. Cold must be
the Southern heart that does not
glow with delight at the sound
of "DiXie." But the composer,
Dan. Emmett, what of him ? Why,
he can be found in a common varie-
ty saloon at Chicago now playing
on lis fiddle for a mere pittauce,
eking ont Il miserable subsistence
playing "DiXieD to an admiring
crowd of newspaper boys, roughS
and beer, ,ierkerS.

A DIADEM PEARL,
BY +. d. STANFORD.

We all have seen pearls. Some
times we meet people who have
them set in very beautiful and cost
~ rings, with "a circle of diamonds
about them. Frequently We stop
before the window of IA jewelers.
store and stare at them lying on
velvet cushions, rich and rare, and
beautiful. Little cream white, pea
shaped gems. Every one Of them
is years and years old, a great deal
older, perhaps, than either you or
/; and, really, the strangest thing
of all is the story that might be
told about any one of them. Did
you ever stop to think OF the very
curious aud interesting history that
might be written concerning the
discovery, the nature, or the va
rious adventures of one single
pearl7 Here is the history of this
one, for instance.
HOW THE Pearl CAME INTO THE
WORLD.
1t was, to begin with, just eiCh
by the little French clock on the
mantelpicce. You would have said
that Laura was very comfortable
and cosy in that great eaSychair
in front of the fire. The shaded
lamp on the table near her, threw Il
soft, steady light on the page of a
gilt edged book in her lap. And
everything was very still-so still
that Laura had actually lost her
self. She had gone very long,
long way from the fire, and the
light, and the little French clock.
She was thousands of miles away
from home in a strange country
called Persia. You will see where
| mean if you look OH your map
Right Oh the upper side of the Per
sian gulf is whore she was, watch
ing eagerly all the strange things
that were taking place, tor she
meant to remember about them.
The moon was high up, and all
the great wide water of the Cult
guivered and sparkled life cloth
of jewels spread out to cover the
world. Everywhere near Laura
crowds of dark, dusky men were
hurrying hithcr and thither, talk
ing rapidly in language she
could not understand. And there
were hundreds of tents in every
direction along the shore of the
sea, in which these strange people
lived; odd, peaked boats trembled
on the rim of the water; everything
was full of hurry and ma6e-haste.
Away of behind Laury, dark hills
we're looming mp against the sky
aud stars all the world appeared
still and asleep, except this part
of IT.
81 wonder,' asked Thought, "who
all these dark, strange men are,
and what they are going to do 7"
You know who Thought was, of
course. 1t WAS Thought that was
making Laura attentive and inter
esteh TO ind out was to happen.
Perhaps you also have Thought
of your own.

such is the way the gilt-edged book

HOW IT ALL ENDED.

For years people came from all
parts of Russia to see the pearl,
aud Mr. Ludwisky became a famous
man. He used to receive his viSi-
tors into his beautiful house, and
then lead them silently through IA
great many rooms until they came
to one with a great iron safe stand
ing in the middle of the floor. This
safe he would open with much care,
for he had to unlock one door after
another before he got to the inside,
where bis strong box was hidden.
Then he took out the little box,
frightened, and opened it with a
small gold key. The pearl, the pre-
cious pearl with its marvellous lus.
tire, was waiting there to gladden.
the sight of all with its beauty ,and
symmetry, and purity.
BY and by, when Mr.. Ludwisky
had become very old, he promised
his son Nicholai that some day, if
he continued a dutiiul boy, he
should have the pearl for his own.
But it turned ont that Nicholai

Alligator Skins,

A single firm in New York city
purchase as many as five thousand
skins annually. They employ men
to pursue the reptile in the bayous
of the Mississippi river; and the
work is usually done at night by
the aid of lauterns, the rifles used
being aimed straight at the crea-
ture's eyes. This leads to the des-
tIuction ef some animals that are
either too old or too young. y
good size is eight or nine feet,
counting nothing beyond the thick
part of the tail. The market price
for finished skins In New York is
S36 to siS per dozen. They are
used in the manufacture OF boots.
