If We KNEW,

If we knew the woe and heartache
Waiting for ms down the road,
If or lips could taste the wOImwood;
If our backs could feel the load,
Would we waste to-day in wishing
For time that ne'er can be
Would we wait in such iml atience
For our ships to come from sea
we knew that baby fingers,
Pressed against the window pane,
Would be stiff and cold to- morrow
Never trouble liz again,
Would the bright eyes Of Our DARING
Catch the frown upon our brow
Would the print Of rosy fingers
Vex us then as they do now?
All. those little ice-cold fingers,
How they point out our memory back
To the hasty words and aciOns
Strewn along our backward track
How these little hands remind rs,
As in snowy grace they lie.
Not TO scatter thorns, bat roses,
For our reaping by ana by
Strange we never prize the music,
Tin the swect-vOiced bird is flown
Strange that we should slight the yiOlois
Til the lovely flowers are gone
Strange that summer skies and sunshine
Never seem one half so fair
As when winters snowy piniOns
shake their white down in the air.
Lips from which the seal Of silence
None but God can roll away,
Never blossomed i'll such beauty
As adorns the mouth to-day;
Aud sweet words that freight our memory
With their beautiful perfume,
Come to us in sweetest accents,
Trough the portals Of the tomb ?
Let us gather mp the sunbeams,
Lying all about our path;
Let us keep the wheat and roses.
Casting out the thons and chah
Let us find our sweetest comfort
In the blessings of to-day,
With patient hand removing
All our griefs from out our way.

4 Miraculous Corner at The Paris EXh!-

In a corner Of the immense French
section. not far from the Gallery fla
bor,' is the group devoted to branch
of industry in which the French are mas

by laughing crowds. 1t is the spot OF
all others to which a dyspeptic visitor to
the Exhibition should first so. There
the ingenius Gaul has shown what he can
accomplish in making toys for children.
Surely there never was so much ingenu-
ity expended before upon such little
matters.
In one room stands 4 little theatre, on
the stage of which an orchestra Of mon
keys, richly costumed, performs "a Sc
lection of pieces of music. These auto
matoes are almost astonishing enough
to make one believe in the black art.
The leader gcsticulates from to time,
then addresses himself with true artistic
earnestness to his violin, and his musi-
clans play with feeling and taste which
might well make the Tziganes enylous,

impossible to imagine that 1t is not a hu'

Great excitement prevails in the
Fourth Ward this evening, over what is
supposed to be clue to the whereabouts
of a man who has been missing about
three years. The facts are these:
About three years ago a man named
Hammer was missed from his home.
and as it was known he had sum of
money about his person. foul play was
suspected. Diligent search was made.
but no trace Of him was found and the
matter was dropped, until man named
Leopold made the statement to the
missing mans son that he could place
a shovel on the spot where the old man
was buried. Leopold, who was very
drunk, also told the son that the body
was in certain lot. Search was i'm

time nothing has been unearthed, but
the search still continues and there Ia
great excitement in the northern part
Of the CITY. Leopold was the last
person seen with the missing man, and
it is probable this clue will lead to the
detection of a murder. No arrests
have been made as yet, but there prob
