As buried loss what rather should be gain.
For me it is a joy TO live anew
The days when fortune seemed willing slave;
To change the evenings for the mornings dew,
AMI strew the flowers OF old on PASSIONS grave,
For me It is a pleasure, lonely often,
To see with eyes half-closed ana dim with tears
The pictured past. in tints that warm and soften
Shine clear across The intervening years.
To feel the hands that other cares have known
With sweetest touch bestow their fond caressing
And have my lips in dreamtul undertoue
Pour forth upon those hands a real blessing.
To feel in tender frances self-deceiving
Her kisses rain upon my uplurned brow,
And stretch my arms, my own deceit believing

To know that in such hours. the best returning

To cheat withered life that dreams Of youth.

We wake with clearer bope and tempered grief,

The spring betokened by the rustling Leaf.
So I, my vision ended, bless the dreaming

And rise in prayer and faith beyond this seeming
To seek the eternal love, with tireess wing.

Miss Josie Smith. Miss Lena NJ. How
ard, of Morrow county, commenced pro-

was engaged to her up to within less

another girl; that he visited her fire.

her bridal outfit, and examined the
same; that he vowed often he would
marry her, "God being willing" and
that he finally broke the engagement on
the ground that he had had dream, in
which notion came into his brain that
it would not be good for him to marry
her, and then in less than month he
went off and married the other girl. His
letters further showed that he offered x
purchase the bridal trousseau Of the CIR
he had thus cruelty cast of. The case

A Russian Court Scene.

In the course of the trial of the Nj
hilists at st. Petersburg, an extraordin-
ary scene recently occurr I'd in the court.
One of the most prominent among the
accused, a man named Mischkin, CON-
planned in his defense of the merciless
ill-usage and torture to which he had
been forced to submit during his two
years detention. According to his
statement, of the 180 prisoners, during
the prolonged examination, forty-three
had died from natural causes, twelve
had committed suicide. and twenty
eight had gone mad. A controversy
then arose between the judge and the
accused, during which the latter stigma
tized the proceedingsas being unworthy
of the name of justice, and merely mis-
cradle farce. AT these words the Judge
jumped up, and gave orders that the
prisoner should be at once removed.
An officer of the gendarmes promptly
seized Mischkin, but at the same time
two other prisoners rushed to the aid of
the latter, and q hand-to-hand fight en-
sued, in which the officer had to contend
against the three, and at the same time
to endeavor to prevent Mischkin from
speaking further. In this, however, he
was unsuccessful, and Mischkin con-
tinued in a louder key to rail in strong
terms against the court and the judges.
At last a gag was forced into his mouth,
and he with his fellow prisoners, was
dragged out of the chamber. A terrible
tumult ensued in the court. Many wo-
men, some of them being wives Of the
prisoners, tainted or went into Mysteries,
and loud cries cursing the tribunal were
heard. ALI efforts to restore order were
fruitless, and the public resisted the at
tempts made by the officials to make
them leave. The defendants, officials,
spectators and gendarmes were involved
in a riotous struggle, but eventually a
detachment of soldiers succeeded in
clearing the place. The president, to-
gether with other judges and the
officers of the court, had sprung from
their seats and were gazing, bewildered
and terrified, at the scandalous scene
before them and the president himself
was so greatly excited that he left with
out declaring that the sitting was closed.
It is further stated that the Russian
journals have privately" been en-
joined to make no remark on this ex-
traordinary occurrence. London Tele-

AstrOlOgy.

Astrology was one of the Oldest and
most favorite methods of divination,
and was practiced very generally in the
middle ages and to some extent until
recent times. Originally the science
meant simply "the knowledge of the
stars, and is to astronomy what alchemy
is to chemistry or legend to history. 1t
soon, however, undertook to predict
future events and, especially, the for
tunes of men from the position
of the celestial bodies. 1t pre-
vailed among the Egyptians, Chal-
deans, Chinese, and other Eastern
nations from the very commencement OF
history. According SO we'll with the
predestinarian doctrines of Mohamme-
danism it was enthusiastically cultivated
by the Arabs and the other followers OF
the "prophet between the seventh and
thirteenth centuries. For many GEN.
turies the most learned men continued
to study this delusive science, but al
length the Copernican system revealed
its fallacy. Yet even to-day the ignor.
ant of all countries believe in astrologi-
cal predictions, as may be seen from the
number of such prophecies which appear
in the almanacs, while in the East and
among Mohammedan nations they still
exercise full sway.
