The white capped pillows flow,
The sky was bright and cloudless,
And the south wind murmured low;
was thinking Of one long absent
Thinking Of my boy, Joe.
Out on the boundless ocean,
Somewhere, his ship knew
Was sailing coming homeward-
A vessel all staunch aud true,
And | prayed that the winds would favor
My absent boy in blue.
Joe was my pet, my darling,
The dearest of all to me.
A boy with noble nature,
As trusting and true As could be:
Yet be wanted TO be a sailor,
And be fell 10 love with the sea.
He fell in love with the pillows,
With the ship and the spreading spar,
With the great white canvas swelling,
With the Jolly yarn spinning tar,
And that is why he went sailing
The ocean to cllmes slar.
oh, my heart was nigh unto breaking
On that lovely summer day,
When ] gave him kiss at parting
AT the dock down on the bay
And i saw his 'kerchlef waving
From the ship when he sailed away.

My Joe ~ he used to he

With the ever restless sea,

But love that is pure and constant
Howsoe'er il may be tried,
No distance, however heightened.
No ocean, however wide,
Can ever destroy or weaken.
And mine grew stronger and stronger
As the weary days went on,
Though my watching for the returning
OF my boy who 20 sea was gone,
Had made my heart grow heavy,
And my face grow thin and wan.
Oh, the sea is kind, no, cruel
As many would make US say.
For while by the sea side watching
sat Oh that summer day
Into the habor came sailing
The ship that took Joe away.
There on the deck behed him

a Good-Temnsrsd Linn.

In the menagerie at Brussels
there is a lion called Dance, whose
cage was lately in want of some re-
pairs. His keeper desired a carpen-
ter to set about it, but when the
workman came and saw the lion he
started back with terror. The
keeper entered the animals cage
and led him to the upper part Of it
while the lower was refitting. He
there amused himself for some time
playing with the lion, and, being
wearied, he soon fell asleep. The
carpenter fully relying upon the
vigilance of the keeper, pursued
his work with rapidity, and when
he had finished he called him to see
what he had done. The keeper
made no answer. Having repeated
ly called in vain, he began to feel
alarmed at his situation, and he de-
termned to go to the upper part of
the cage, where, looking through
the railing, he saw the lion and the
keeper sleeping side by side. He
Immediately uttered a loud cry.
The lion, awakened by the noise,
started up and stared at the car
penter with an eye of fury, and
then placing his paw on the breast
of his keeper lay down to sleep
again. At length the keeper was
awakened by some of the attend
ants, and he did not appear in the
least apprehensive on account of
the situation in which he found
himself, but shook the lion by the
paw, and then gently conducted
him to his former residence.

far back in civilization to-day as
they were when they conquered
Constantinople, near 900 years ago.
Being a nation of water-drinkers,
they have become as a stagnant
morass-an offense to civilization. {"
The Russians, it should be un-
derstood, are good solid drinkers.
They are what might be termed
"potable people," In a conflict
with weak, water-drinking nation
they naturally proved conquerors.
The Germans probably whipped
the French for the same reason.
The Germans drink beer and good
wines, while the French do very
little in the way of beer and are
given to light wines. The Britons
are nation Of drinkers, and they
whip everybody that they can Law
hands on. In our own country we
have seen how the beer-drinking
North walked off with the temper
ate and light-tippling South. We
might 80 on in this way multiply
ing examples indefinitely. There
is evidently good deal in beer.

water. In tho next scene, Satan
takes the form of an immense dra-
gon, with his human victims
crouching in terror at his feet.
They are mercileSsly dragged into
court, and the Judge is repre-
sented as condemning them to be
tied to rocks and to have red-hot
lead poured down their throats.
They are then chased by hyenas
through a field Of open knives and
other sharp Instruments The vic
Tins are next portrayed as being
tortured by having their limbs sawn
off and by being thrown into a
revolving wheel Of fire. Satan next
appears to be looking out for new
victims on a field of battle, Some
of these victims are made to hug
rod-hot stove pipes, while Satan
himself with a smile, is tanning
them. Others still are seated in a
caldron of red-hot sulphur, having
their tongues pulled out. Some
are represented as carrying heavy
burdens of coal and throwing it
into the fire to burn new victims.
His Satanic Majesty is next repre-
sented as feeding his subjects with
rice, presumably TO give them
strength with which to endure
greater tortures.

Mr.. Frederick LaueE the oldest
brewer in the United States, in his
address before tho Brewers Con-
gress in Baltimore, last week,
brought out a fact which may ex-
plain the cause of the rapid decay
Of the Turkish empire. Mr.. Lauer
said;
"There are examples of nations
that have practiced prohibition, but
it has invariably been to their great
disadvantage. The Mohammedans
adhered to total abstinence for a
period of 1900 years. They con-
stituted the principal population of
Turkey on the three continents of
Europe, Asia and Africa, and the
Turks, as q rule, have faithfully ad-
hered to their prohibitory laws.
We find as a result that of all the
nations on the earth they are the

Howard County Ky.) Advertiser.l
Willie, a bright little daughter
CT Mr.. L. W. Walton, died recently
at her fathers residence, near Roam
Oke, in the seventh year of her age.
Little Willie had been sick a long
time, yet she bore her allliction with
all the patience and fortitude of one
much older. On the day of her
death she called her little brother
and sister around her and divided
among them her toys. She lin
gered until seven o'clock in the
evening, without the least apparent
change, in a perfectly conscious
condition, talking to those around
her. She counted the strokes as the
clock tolled seven, aud when it had
finished she turned to her father
and said: Z" Pa, | will never hear
the clock strike again; given me an
apple" The apple was given her,
and, after eating q piece of it, she
began talking Of dying, expressing
a great aversion to being put under
ground after death. She was
assured that only her body was
buried-that the spirit left the
body and went to heaven. This
seemed to give her great relief, and
again addressing her father, she
said: is ma watching for me in
heayen?' and, on being assured she
was, she said: "Turn me over,
then, and let me die" She was
tenderly turned on her side, and
spoke no more. The clock tolled
eight all the same, but little Willie
never heard it-she was dead.

Tacoma w. I. Herald. a
7 On last Monday several young
men were out hunting on horse
back, and when near William Mel
sons farm they suddenly came upon
two large bears. They fired upon
them and succeeded in killing one,
but the other ran for the timber
and passed out Of sight, notwith-
standing that one of the boys,
Johnny Northover, put four charges
of buckshot into him at short
range. AS the bear seemed likely
to escape, Adam Benson said he
would ride around the thicket,
which was a short distance, and head
him off. He accordingly started
off alone and reached the other side
Of the wood before the bear. lie

tree, and had waited but few mo-

broke from the timber and rushed
for him. lie fred two shots, but
the bear was upon him. The beast
rose upon his hind legs as Adam
struck at him with his rifle, and
knocked the weapon from his
hands. Then with stroke of his
paw he felled Adam to the earth,
knocking him between two logs,
and commenced to bite and claw
him. Adam held the beast from
his throat by grasping him by the
shaggy hair on each side of his
head. He is a powerful young
man, but he felt his strength begin.

only hope was in the knife that he
carried in his belt. He let 60 of the
bear with his right hand and
reached for the knife, but found il
was gone. Thrusting the empty
sheath into the bears mouth, he
gave himself up for lost. The bear
was mangling the muscle of his
arm in a terrible manner and would
soon have killed him had not Jack

The dog attacked the bear liercely
and compelled him to leave Adam,
who managed to crawl upon his
horse and rode back to where the
