THE WATER MILL.

Listen to the water mill
! trough the ive-long day
How the clanking of the wheels
Wear the hours away!
Languidly the Autumn wind
Stirs the greenwood leaves
From the fields the reapers sing,
Binding up the sheaves,
And proverb haunts my mind,
As a spell is cast,
THE mill will never grind
With the water that has passed"
Take the lesson to thyself,
Loving heart and true;
Golden years are ieeting by,
Youth is passing, too.
Learn to make the most of life,
Lose no happy day
Time will never bring the back
Chances swept away.
Leave no tender word unsaid,
Love while love shall last
The mill will never grind
With the water that has posed"
Work while yet the daylight shines,
Man of strength and will;
Never does the streamlet glide
Unless by the mill.
Wait not till to-morrow's sun
Beams upon the way
All that thou canst call thine own
Lies in thine to-day
Power, intellect and health
May not, cannot last
"The mill will never grind
With the water that has passed."
Oh, the wasted hours of life
That have drifted by
Oh, the good we might have done,
Lost without a sigh
Love, that we might once have saved
By a single word,
Thoughts conceived, but never penned
Perishing unheard.
Take the proverb to thy heart
Take-oh, hold it fast !
The mill will never grind
With tho water that has passed.
-From Tie German

"Docter Johns" said Charlie, very inns
pressively, "do you ever meet, in your

twisting them about, showing that it was

toa was so thoroughly frightened that he
believed his end liable to occur at any
moment, and bssought Dr.. Holmes to do
whatever lay in his power to give relief.
DR.. Holmes promised to think it over
during the night. DR.. Johns would not
hear of his returning to the inn, but in,
sisted upon his taking bed at his house.

tiring, and had done so with great regu-
larity for thirty years.
About the m i'd 10 Of the night the old
housekeeper called Charlie up in great

The tavern keeper Of the village says the BOY
called at his place, without baggage, ana upon
being told no would have to pay in advance,
walked away, saying, as no did so, that he
would be back shortly. The boy was an IN
veterate reader Of poisonous yellow back dime
novels, and II Is thought BY those who knew
him best that II was through tho effect they
had produced oh him that he was led TO com
init the crime. His former employer and oil mis-
associates speak of him in the highest terms,
and that he is guilty Of the commission OF such
horrible crime almost surpasses their credulity.

Two Great Germans.

Prince Bismarck, at the taking ofthe
Tariff vote in the German Parliament,
makes picture for the next centuryb
historian. He sits leaning back In his
chair, and, throwing one leg over the
other, complacently slaps the sole OF his
right foot with his left hand, or play
fully Tits up his sword, and topsy,tur-
vies the papers on the table before him.
And Moitke, who is standing immedi-
ately below, seeing that his great COM

mounts the few steps leading to the
Princes side-his sword-hilt becoming
entangled in the rail and slightly i'm
peding his ascentr-to offer his sincere
Congratulations on the triumph won
And for some minutes the two engage
IN amiabie conversation, the great STRAIT
egist speaking with fyllness and an

Trouble In AfRanlstan.

The Ameer writes that the troops at the first
outbreak, after stoning the officers, rushed to
the British Embassy and stoned 1t. Several
volIeys were fred from the Embassy in return.
A second letter from the Ameer, dated Sept. 4,
says: Thousands assembled to destroy the
British Embassy. Much life was lost on both
sides. /, with five attendants, was besieged
all day yesterday. Up to noon l have no GER
tain news Of the Envoy, whether no was
killed in his quarters or captured"
A correspondent at Bombay asserts that
symptoms of discomfort have been noticed at
Cabul for some time, and the bearing of the
populace towards members Of tho Embassy has
been defiant. The force defending the EN-
bassy numbered seventy mine. They fought
with the greatest bravery. 1t is said the
Amecr's son was fatally injured. A large
number of mutinecrs were killed. After tho
buildings Of tho Embassy were fired the sur
survivors sailed out and defended themselves
desperately, but all were killed, including
Major Cavagnari. Intense excitement prevails
throughout India. 1t is believed at Paris and
Vienna the outbreak is due to Russian in
trigue.

Fated Memphis.

The quarantine anaconda has made another
twist in its tail, which effcctually brushes all
that was loft of Memphis commerce, besides
rendering the planters adjacent to Memphis
powerless to get their cotton to marketso as to
get supplies for their families and those depend
ent upon them. 1t is an order issued by DR..
Plunkett, President of tho State Board OF
Health, prohibiting the ginning Of cotton for
shipment to other markets. DR.. Plunkctt says
the order is based upon the decision that yellow
fever germs will be baled up in the lint cotton,
to DO spread in communities where the cot
ton bales are reopened for manufac-
turing purposes. The order has excited general
indignation, and petition is in circulation,
and is being numcrously signed, setting forth
the necessity of baling the cotton ms rapidly as
it can be taken from the fields, as the farmers
are in need of the proceeds of the first bales
that can be got to market, and urging the re-
scinding of the arbitrary order. The quaran-
tine authorities are also enforcing closer re-
strictions, forbidding ingress and egress to OF
from the city limits. In word, they are in n
belcaguered city where the prevailing plague il
more distressful than the most destructive mis-
siles of an army of investment. Truly, Mem
phis is doomed.

waynesville, Ohio, where Captain Hoel lost
his lifo In domestic tragedy some months ago,
reports terrible triple tragedy, the victims
being Mrs. Hattie, her sister, and girl, all
of whom, to all appearances, have been foully
murdered. The house in which these people
lived has been closed for a week past, and the
neighbors were under the impression that tho
family had gone away from home. A disagree
able stencil, however, in the vicinity Of tho
house was observed by passers-by, and as it
continued gradually to grow nauseating, an
investigation was instituted, which lead to the
terrible discovery Of the murder. The scene in
the house was heart sickening in the, extreme.
The murderer or murderers had cndesvored in
some crude sort Of way to cover up the evil
dences of crime. The bodies were covered with
bedding, and lime had been used freely on the
floor. The furniture was scattered around as
