THE ENDLESS PROCESSION.

Down the vista OF the ages.
Saints and sinners, fools and sages,
Marching onward, slow and solemn,
Go in never-ending column
Here the honest, here the knave-
With rythmic step sublime, rt
To the grave.
Like the rolling Of river,
Going on and on forever,
Never resting, never staying,
Never for an instant strayiDg.
Peer and peasant, lord and slave,
Equals soon TO mix and mingle
In the grave.
Duty cannot, nor can pleasure,
For moment break the measure;
They are marching on to doom,
They are moving to the tomb,
All the coward. all the brave.
Soon to level all distinction
In the grave.
Since the morning Of creation,
Ever on the line is moving
All the loved and all the loving,
All that mothers ever gave
On to silence and to slumber
In the grave.
Here no bribe the bond can weaken,
Here no substitute is taken:
Each one for himself-no other.
Son nor father; no, mol brother;
Love the puIest cannot save;
Each alone the roll must answer
At the grave.
Who commands the dread procession
That shall know no retrogression?
Who can be the great directorf
Hal that grim and grizzly spectre,
Him that Sin to Satan gave;
Death, the mighty King of Terrors.
And the grave.

FRANK LORDS MARVELLOUS
PISTOL PRACTICE.

Frank S. Lord. the most expert and
finishing pistol-shot in the country, is a
man of thirty-two, the youngest son of
the late Thomas Lord of New York. He
is an athlete and gymnast, and about
1867 began to try his skill as a shot at
old Conlin gallery. The feats of Cap

Travers' feats was to shoot away sill

ball throug his hat. From a doubt
ing friend Captain Travers won a dia-
mond ring by putting the shot through
the ring, and his feat of picking an or

and again. Since Captain Travers' time

TREATING MEADOWS AFTER MOVING.

time for applying mannre cannot we'll

decided advantage, is to sow plaster.
Apply as soon as the crop is off. 1tis
cheap. indeed the cheapest of all fertil-
izers, yielding much for the outlay where
the land is adapted to it; and it is soon
applied. Give double the quantity or
more than is given to elover-from two
hundred to three hundred pounds per
acre. Grass requires this. The sulphate

The CROss-EYED CHILDREN.

Nobody can tell who has not watched
it what an effect physical deformity
has upon the mind and character of a
growing child, especially one which de-
tracts in so marked manner from its
personal appearance. 1t exposes the
child to the taunts and cruel appellations
of its comrades, which in sensitive chill

make them shy and suspicious of stran-
gers, in whom, on the other hand, they
excite suspicion. The turn in the eye
gives either wandering, doubling air to
the face, or. if the gaze is fixed, too
intense expression, which is disturbing
and perplexing, if not downright painful.

No better remedy in the whole materia-medica

OF Female Complaints, of the ordinary kind, than
Vegetine 1t seems to act In these cases with un-
wonted certainty, and never fails to give new
and healthful tone to the female organs, to re-
move relaxed debility and unhealthy secresions,
ana restore healthful vigor and elasticity. One
OF the most common of these complaints is Leu

begins to threaten women at the turn Of life. Veg
etine can be commended without qualification.
The great prevalence of these disorders and their
cure by Vegetine, has amply shown that the allie.

but is already known, and is favorite with Amer.

prescribe nauseating and uncertain remedies in

the Criminal Court. This is how it hap
pened: Widow No l drove widow No. 2
from the grave and held the position.
The Superintendent being enamored of
widow No. 2 presented her with burial
plot and clandestinely removed the re-
mains of Lispis to it. Widow No. con-
tinued to place flowers and wraths and
shed tears upon the now empty grave of
her late fractional husband, while widow
No. 2 laughed in her sleeve and wept
over the genuine grave of her late re-
spected Elias.
But the joke on No. 1 was too good to
keep, and No. 2 betrayed her grave Sc
cret. The Superintendent, becoming
frightened by the publicity given to the
affair, secretly returned what was left of
Elias to the grave he first occupied, and
then declared that the remains had never
been disturbed. Widow No. 2 getting
wind Of his treachery blowed on him to
the police, and had him arrested on a
charge of grave robbery. The poor man
has lost both his position and the widow,
and has good show for the penitentiary.
Moral: 1t will not do for any man to try
and fool two widows at once. "The thing
can't be did"

A MATTER OF UNUSUAL GRAVITY.

If Mr.. Elias Lispis, late of San Fran-
cisco, thought when he closed his eyes to
the affairs Of this world, and had the
familiar legend, "requiescat in pace"
carved upon his tombstone, that he was
going to 10 allowed to repose in peace,
he has, if permitted to take cogniance
of earthly doings, long since found out
his mistake. Elias left behind him two
widows when he died last spring. These
widows had a violent quarrel in the
cemetery over the grave of their joint
husband as to which should decorate it
with flowers, and the authorities had to
interfere.
Since then the war has continued to
rage between the bereaved ladies until
the Slperintendentof of the cemetery where
Elias is buried finds himself arraigned in

places. If there is any choice, give them
the best rooms in the building. Not only
this, but use textbooks less and black
boards and wall charts more, especially in
primary schools. The best argument for
the Boston oral method is this: 1t spares
tender eyes. Have school-rooms lighted
from the sides, and never from the front.
Require children to sit erect. or nearly
so, while studying. Teach them to rest
the eyes by looking off the page every
few minutes. In very murky days, if the
room is not we'll lighted, dismiss school,
or resort entirely to oral exercises. Never
require children who are in poor health
to use their eyes as constantly as you
would if they were we'll.
A few such precautions and instruc-
tions as the'abovewould avert incalculable
injury to thousands of young eyes, for
which teachers and school boards are
most assuredly responsible, whether they
feel so or not.

Of Prince Bismarck in his youth very
pretty and romantic story is told. In a
ramble through the Tyrol he met love-
ly young peasant maiden, with whom he
fell deeply in love, and for whose hand
he shortly proposed. Her father, a
wealthy peasant and a strong Catholic,
refused to marry his daughter to Protes-
tant, and the young Bismarck, sorely
grieved, tore himself away. A few years
after the fair Tyrolese, having meanwhile
married Catholic, died at Salzburg.
She left daughter, in whom the great
Chancellor has always taken kindly in
terest. She was lately married, and the
Prince has sent her his good wishes and a
beautiful wedding gift.

Frederick Hess, North Woods guide,
while putting out his dogsfor deer, found
a mans boot with the bones of his foot in
it. He reported the fact to Jack Shep-
pard, the guide of the Foorth Lake.
Sheppard and others visited the place,
and near by found the skeleton of man.
Mingled with the bones was silk hat, a
roll of bank notes, pnrse containing a
few gold and silver CONT, two padlocks
and two keys, an illegible diary, a box of
backing, a blacking brush and razor.
Ex-Congressman Clinton L. Merriam has
