NATURE IN INDIA.
TFrom the Calcutta Letter. !

There is nothing in India that is so
constant surprise as nature. Your
eyes are accustomed to your own flowers
and forms of forest and garden growths
the oak, the ash. the sycamore, the
modest daisy, the wholesome, virtuous
clover that blossoms over meadow and
valleys. You look In vain for the old
forms that were so pleasant to you in
childhood-that were always friends
when the world grew dark and sorrows
swept over your young aud trembling
life. The trees are new. You have
heard of them in poems.in ghost stories.
in Arabian tales, but IN India they are
around you. Here is the mango.
noble tree, that gives a pleasant fruit;
Indian residence-but which we shall
not see leaving Hindoostan before it
ripens. Every one has been telling US
of the comfort we shall find IN the
mango. and that, although we come
from the land OF fruits, we shall sur
render our peaches, pears and Newtown
pippins to the mango. All we have
| seen of it has been some candIed mango,
SO killed by the sugar that it might as
well have been pumpkin or melon rind,
|
| We have also had it as curry; but the
spices reduced it into such condition
that it might have passed for radish or
celery AS tree it is royal and green
and rich Here we see the tamarind,
under which you are forbidden to pitch
your tents becadse of its unwholesome
exhalations. Here is the pipel, and the
japanese acacia; the banana. with its
hospitable leaves; bamboos; the orange
and the lemon; cactus until you are
weary of cactus; a very world of ferns,
and the rose in endless profusion.
Animal life has freedom that is un-
usual to our rapacious eyes. accustomed,
as we are, to look upon everything that
God has made as something tor man to
kill. Here the religion of the natives,
which throws over all animal nature
protection, has its influence. AS you
stroll out over the walks of an Indian
forest, you see animal lie in all its
forms. The monkey Is more common
than squirrels at home, and over your
table, ;,s you gather about it, the birds
OF prey assemble and circle around and
around until your meal is done and il
comes their turn to take your place.

HOW IT;LOOKs ABROAD.

We doubt whether more interesting
editorial could easily be written than
the following, which is part of the
article Army" in the Encyclopedia
Brittanica: The military history OF the
United States is as strange as the rise
and rapid growth OF the nation. In 1890
the rank and fl lie of the army, as fixed
by act OF congress, amounted to 1.216
men; and in 1914 an English expedition
of only $500 men was able 10 seize and
burn Washington, the capital of coun-
try which even then numbered 5000, coo
of inhabitants. In 1861. at the COM
mencement OF the war of secession, the
whole regular force amounted to only
1000 men. In April OF that year the
president called out $4,000 volunteers
tor three months to defend the capital,
which was threa ened; and in May
further call Tor $4,000 was made. In
July two calls for 500,0 900 each were au-
thorized by congress, and. rs even this
vast force proved insufficient tor the
gigantic struggle which America had
| now embarked in, it was found necessa-
| ry to introduce the corscription. In
| October, and in February, 1864, a furth-
er call of 100000 was made. Finally.
in the beginning OF 1865 two further
ievies, amounting in all to 500, 900 men,
were ordered, but were only partially
carried out, in consequence of the cessa-
ton of hostilities. The total number of
men called under arms by the govern
ment of the United States, between
April, 1861. and April, 1865, amounted
to 2,759,0 ,049, of whom 1858 ,053 were
actually embodied in the armies. Ii to
these be added the l 100000 men EN-.
bodied by the southern states during
the same time, the total armed force:
reach the enormous amount OF nearly
900 900. drawn from Il population o
only $4,000 0OO-fgures before whicl
the celebrated uprising OF the Frencl
nation in 1868, or the recent efforts o
!, France and Germany in the war o
1901, sink into insignificance. AM
within three years the whole of thos
vast forces were peacefully disbanded
and the army had shrunk 10 norma
strength of ony 10000.

JOHN WALKER, OF HOWARD.

The Sedalia Democrat, in noticing
the prominent attendants at Sedalia
during the late session OF the state
grange, has this reference to Hon. John
RWalker, OF Howard: "He is a member
of the state executive committee. He
has been county judge, member of the
legislature. and held several other po-
sitions of honor and responsibility. He
is genuine Missourian, having beon
born and raised In Howard county. He
is man of most imposing personal ap-
pearance. He is about 50 years OF age,
6 feet inches in height. and his frame
is vigorous and well formed. Upon his
broad shoulders he carries q magnifi-
cent head, with br' 'ad, high forehead,
beneath which are large bright brown
eyes, and a large firm mouth. He tow
ers above al others in a crowd, like a
Colossus. He is an eloquent and logical
speaker. has u deep and powerful voice,
and the unmistakable pronunciation
which marks a western and southern
man. He is man of education. Though
many years practical farmer, he has
the air and manner of statesman. He
is democrat in politics, member O
the Christian church. and neither
smokes chews, drinks nor swears.

DROWNED

See where she lay there, dead. alone,
Stretched on the cold. damp mar BILE stone;
Nanght but the constant water drips
That fall upon her up-turned lips,
Dlsturbs the solemn, silent gloom
Which rsigns within the cherries room.
'' IT'S but suicide" you say,
And thoughtlessly you turn away;
But could you know tho wOeful tale
That lies behind that visage pale,
Perhaps you'd turn and heed once more
Her tale OF sorrows full store.
Found drowned'-this is the verdict given
Without thought OF how she'd d striven,
With all her might, TO force her way
,Gainst fearful trials, every day
Encountered in her path. and save
Her from watery grave.
You do not know the suffering borne
Ere from this earth herself she'd torn,
Upon this cold world cast away,
Mid sin and trouble doomed to stray.
She. to preserve q spotlsss name.
Had drowned herself. ID she to blsmef
To rest her weary head-no place;
Starvation stares her in the face;
No one q kindly hand extends
No one her wretched lot befriends.
And thus, in her sad, friendess state,
Alone she meets her dreadful fate.
Cold charity has closed it's door
Quite useless now to struggle more;
So, IN her dark and blank despair,
Her pale lips murmur one short prayer;
With eyes upturned to him who saves,
She leaps Into the tossing waves.
And thus Dame Rumor every day
Announces, in q casual way,
The story offs "body found
or one who probably WIS drowned.''
But seldom does she ever tell
The sorrows which the wretch befall.
Let's pray with universal breath
For one who meets untimely death.
Let all the bells OF pity toll
A requiem for the poor ome's soul,
And, maybe God, e'er just and right,
viii bless and make her future bright.

ONE SILVER THREAD.

My mirror told q doubtful tale
In confidence tO-day,
AS glancing IN its truthful depths

Cleaned in the waves of gold,
And this is what the mirror said,
Dear heart. you're growing old.
Me growing old? Hush, traitor glass,
Twas only yesterday
That I, q careless, happy maid
With spirits light and gay,
Gazed In the eyes of frOwnlng fate
With glance defiant bold,
And you mistaken-whispered me
That am growing old.

There was day between,
And l was sorrowing for a friend
Proved faithless-ah, how keen
The pointed shaft that pierced my heart,
Twas tipped with poison, too.

Although disguised from view.
And still another-sOrrOw came
To fright away my smile.

The burden for a while.
Then Times nntiring pinion waved
The sad-eyed shade away,
And once again smiled
But ah, twas only for q day,
Death came with stern. relentless hand,
To shroud the sky in gloom,
One anguish-d day to crouch beneath
The shadow of the tomb
Ah. yes; my mirror. you are right,
Reproachful is the thought
That was daily growing old,
And yet knew 1t not.
Stay-steady fingers do not set
The silver token free.

To stand a monitor to me-
And when my mirror tells tale
Ofmany clustering there,

Nor the loss of golden hair.
For every added gleam therein
But nearer brings the prize,
In waiting. surely waiting, too,
For me beyond the skies.
And when my pilgrimage Is o'er
Lies burden dropping down,
MY hair will borrow brightness
From the shodow OF the crown,

THE WELL OF locH MAREE.
BY WHITTIER.

Calm on the breast of Loeb Maree
A little isle reposes;
A shadow woven of the oak
And willow o'er it closes.
Within Druid's mound Is seen,
Set round with stony war,lers;
A fountain. gushing through the turf,
Floats o'er its grassy borders.
And whose bathes therein his brow,
With care or madness burning.
Feels once again his healthful thought
And sense of peace returning.
o. restless heart and fevered brain,
Unquiet and unstable,
That holy we'll OF Loeb Maree
Is more than idle fable.
Life's changes vex. its discords stun,
Its glaring sunshine blindeth,
And blest is he who on his way
That fOunt of healing findeth.
Tho shadows Of humbled will
And contrite hearts are o'er it;
Go read its legend-''Trus in God"-
On Faiths white stones before it.

Were as pure as thou art sweet.
Then were my love for thee complete;
Were as true as thou art fair,
Then could kiss thy fragrant hair,
Were as true as thou art fair.
Were as steadfast as thine eyes,
Then might we taste loves paradise;
Were as constant Is thy worth,
Then heaven would bend to touch the earth
Were as constant As thy worth.
Were as tender as thy prayers.
Then would win thee unawares;
Were US holy as thy tears.
Then were thou mine through all the years
Were US holy as thy tears.
But, oh The SIN, the grief, the care
To wed thee, sweet, may not dare.

So. though die, our lives must part.
