GLEANINGS FROM THE MUSE.
AWAKENING.
BY F. S. sALTUs.

How terrible that fugitive moment seems,
When tortured minds. stepped in serenest sleep,
Awaken from the ravishment of dreams,
Only to recollect their woes, and weepl
How, when the grim realities of pain
Dawn in vague, solemn ways within their breast,
They fain would lul their sense to slumber again,
And shun the odious Light that brings no rest.
In that brief, narrowing second some recall
The pitless fate that DER their path has crossed
In friendly sleep they have forgotten ALL
They wake-alas, to mourn loved one lostl
Some mother worn by vigils and by care,
With sweet fallacous visions now beguiled,
Smiling swakes and ere she is aware,
Calls by some pretty name her darling child
But he is dead and oh her many tears
Rebel against Sleeps suave, delusive power;
Better the anguish OF continual fears,
Than the false promise of that cruel hour.
The wounded soldier, tossing on his bed,
Has visions of glory and OF valorous strife;
He wakes-and with convulsive chils OF dread
Remembers that his limbs are lost for hiel
o bounteous Sleepi restorer Of the mindl
When poor souls suffer from misfortune's sting,
This whisper to thy brother, Death, were kind,
"Spare them the agony OF awakening"

GENERAL SHERMAN has received a
letter from ex-President Grant, in which
the latter describes the qualification ex-
pericnced in his trip through Europe
and his enjoyment particularly of his
voyage up The Nile. He does not allude
to politics in the letter, but alludes to
his relief from care and responsibility.
He says that when the silver bill passed
the House it created some excitement
and adverse criticism in Europe, but he
finds that when the provisions of the
bill as finally adopted are understood,
it is regarded more favorably.

WHITLows or felons are common on
the thumbs of our fair friends. Just at
this time the disease has become a sort
of epidemic. Don't stick pins into your
husbands stiff shirt collars, or into your
own dresses, without something to pro-
tect the thumb. This is the cause of
nearly all whitlows, as the pins injure
the periosteum, or covering Of the bone
of the thumb, and derange the little
blood-vessels and sensitive nerves OF
that member.

THE Cincinnati organ is a buster.

THE Cincinnati organ is buster. 1t
has 81 sounding stops; pipes, 6,2S7; me-
chanical stops, IA; pedal movements, IL.
and grand crescendo. 1t is so feet
wide and IS feet high. In addition the
Cincinnati organ has a carlton of 80
bells, feature that no other American
organ has, and which is counted as one
of the seven organs of Primrose Hill.
1t has, therefore, six organs, while the
celebrated Boston organ has but five.
1t has five more sounding stops and 813
more pipes than the Boston organ, be-
sides simplicity and excellence of
movement superior to any in the world.

cry, for he knew he could not open them
without the key, kept in his library, and
that while he was scaling the wall they
would escape.
He ran to the gate, and then it must
have been that he tainted.
When he came to himself, he saw
vaguely in the moonlight, and lying near
him, small, white object.
He touched it, and shuddered.
Briefly, it was human finger, tat
tooed with seven small, purplish stars.
cit was HeverW he muttered.
The finger had unquestionably been
caught by the CRATE iron gate, and nipped
off like twig by the immense weight
of the iron acting on the edges of the
gate.
How long had they escaped? In his
fall, his watch glass was broken, and the
hands were stopped. He never knew how
he got back to the house.
If you please, my lady is now in her
room. Here, helpV suddenly cried the
servant.
He tainted again.
He went to his library, and there he
found the key of the grape-gates still
swinging on its nail.
How can she be back2'' he thought
II saw her take fight"
She looked white when suddenly he
entered her room-the first time she had
done SO during their married life.
Have you been from the castle, Lady
Bowden?' he asked.
No." she said, gravely.
By that time he knew that he had lain
insensible during whole hour near the
gate.
" She must have returned" he said
"by the gate, and passed carelessly by
my quiet body. She hates me. But why
has she returnedT'
Next day he called upon Hever. The

the evening.
How he watched for Boleyn Hevcr''
appearance.
He came and of course gloved. Nc
sign of the missing finger.
Sir Chester went up to him smilingly
on the left side, and grasped his left
| hand. The glove yielded.
The middle finger of the glove had
been stuffed with wool.
They were standing little apart.
Still holding the manned hand, he
said
You have sinned with my wife
You fed from me last night; but Heaven
avenged me, and cleft your marked finger
from your wicked hand. Dare you
smile ?"
Beware I have always been your
one friend, and last night was more your
friend than everT
"A hypocrite as we'll as monster" he
said. "Do you know what l am going
to doT
What?'
Kill that woman here. before her
guests, and like my father, make an end
to myself"
And as needlessly, mailman. The
woman you saw came with me to warn
your wife, out of her own experience, to
bear any cruelty you might heap upon
her rather than take flight. The poor
creature may or may not have been
guilty, Chester; but she proved her love
for you when she forced herself to see
your wife and save her from such an out
cast life as her own has been for many
years"
Who-who was sheY'

ieved to fhd its refutation in the character of the
men who before the war represented that section.
They were too sensitive to the rights of their
ten to be sated with less than what rghtfully
theirs The undersigned is not advised to how
the Texas and Pacific Railroad Company acquired
the franchise and right of way by which it is
authorized to construct its railroad from Fort
Worth to Ell Paso, in the State of Texas, whether
by grant from the State of Texas or by purchase
from or consolidation with the Memphis, Ell Paso,
and Pacific Railroad Company, under the fourth
ton of the act Of March B. 1871 entitled, An act
to incorporate the Texas Pacific Railroad Company,
and to aid in the construction of its road for other
purposes.
In the case of Davis Gray, 16 Wallace, page
49,, United States Supreme Court decided that the
Memphis, Ell Paso and Pacific surviving cor
poration with all its property in possession, and
all its faculties unimpaired. 7 his franchise and
right of way of the company proposes to mortgage
to indemnify the government for its guarantee. 1t
becomes material fact, therefore, to know If it
acquired in either of the modes suggested
otherwise, and whether it has been forfeited or
lost with the Texas land grant. The undersigned
expresses no opinion upon this question, which
was rot considered by the committee, but submits
that due regard for the interests Of the govern
ment demands that before any guarantee is made
based in part on a mortgage of the said franchise
and right of the way, the House should be informed
and advised to the title to what is proposed to be
mortgaged.
