SORROW.
Upon my lips she laid her touch divine,
And merry speech and careless laughter died
She fixed her melancholy eyes on mine.
And would not be denied.
I saw the west wind loose it cloudlets white,
In flocks careering through the April sky;
could not sing, though joy was at It's height
For she stood silent by.
1 watched the lovely evening fade away.
A mist was slightly DIR .wn across the stars,
She broke my quiet dream-I heard her say,
Behold your prison bars!
"Earth's gladness shall not satisfy your soul,
This beauty of the earth in which yop live:
The browning grace that sanctifies the whole,
That alone can give"
heard. and shrunk away from her afraid;
But still she held me- and would still abide,
Youths bounding impulses slackened aul
oheyed,
With slowly ebbing tide.
Look thou beyond the evening star, she said
| "Beyond the changing splepdors of the day,
Accept the pain, the WEAKNESS, the dread,
% Accept and bid me stay"
turned and clasped her close with sudden
strenth,
And slowly, sweety, I became aware,
Within my arms Gods angel stood at length
White robed and calm and fair.
And now look beyond the evening STAR
Beyond the changing splendors OF the day,
Knowing the pain He sends more precious far
More beautiful than they.
THE THREE HORSEMEN.
Three horsemen halted the inn before,
Three norsemen entered the eaken doaE,
And loudly called for the welcome cheer
That was wont to greet the traveller there;
Good woman" they cried. as the hostess ca me,
A buxom, rosy, and portly old dame,
Good woman. how's your wine and beer?
And how's your little daughter dear?"

Each wrapped in thoughts he could never tell
And silently one by one they crept
10 the darkened room where the maiden slspt
The golden hair was rippling low
Over forehead pure as snow,
And the little hands so closely pressed

On thee, sweet child" and one turned away;

"Hadst thou learnad to love me, and lived to

II loved thee always, I love thee now,'
The third one cried as he kissed her brow:

Then silently out from the oaken door,
Three horsemen rode 10 return no more.

Prosperous Times.

American farmers ought to pros
per this year. European countries
will undoubtedly need a large amount
of wheat, as reports indicat partial
failure Of the crops abroad in many
sections. While speculation will
doubtless run wild among wheat deal
ers, by which many will suffer, the
farmers ought to receive a great deal
of benefit, which will be relief to
the condition Of affairs which has pre-
vailed among agriculturalists for 50
long period. Not only the business
in breadstuffS, but our provision trade
will receive great augmentation, as
the scarcity of grain abroad will rem
der the surplus available for feeding
cattle very meagre, thereby decreas-
ing the meat supply. And then
again, manufacturing interests are
improving, and employment for the
masses of working people that have
for months been idle is becoming
easier to obtain. This fact, combined
with the great and increasing demand
from abroad for neArly all our pro-
duets, shows that we are progressing.
There is no doubt that our country
has been greatly blessed this year, for
while complaints come from other
countries of financial distress, depres-
sion in trade, and the failure of crops,
we are favored with abundance of
grain, and our great surplus marketed
abroad will bring millions of dollars
into this country. When farmers
possess money, trade all over the
country is quickened, for, in the in
creased purchasing power of the peo-
pie lie the elements Of prosperity

analysis caught his eye. They were
seized and secured and thrown down
upon his page in gorgeous groups and
splendid coloring. His logic was COM

reasoning he seemed to he pursuing

own mind; all its facts logically artic-
ulated from end to end; but it was on

like stream of water, working its way
under ground, that showed itself now

other light and sparkling. He was

sation. Metaphors, tropes and figures

The Boy GOethe's Duel.
st. Nicholas,

There was a war at one time be-
tween Germany and France; for two or
three years the French lad possession
of the old town where the Goethes
lived. A French Count was placed
in their house---billetted Cn them, as
the soldiers say-and, though the boy
Goethe was angry with the French
for invading his country, he very
much liked this count, who took a
fancy to the boy, and had him with
him a great deal. The count was a
patron of artists, and bought a great
many pictures, and from him Goethe
obtained his first knowledge Of art.
The Frenchman introduced the boy
to other French people, and Wolfgang
thus learned the language perfectly.
He also learned some other things, as
the following anecdote will show: He
became quite intimate with French
boy, Derones, who pretended to have
been engaged in great many duels-
"atfairs of honor" he called them. One
day he told young Goethe that he had
insulted him, and at once challenged
him to duel. Goethe had heard
Derones talk so much about these "af-
fairs" that he was eager to engage in
one. So, you can imagine the little
lad, aged twelve, arrayed in boys
dress Of that day, with shoes and sill
yer buckles, fine woolen stockings,
dark serge breeches, green coat with
gold faeings, waistcoat of gold cloth
cut out of his fathers wedding waist
coat, his hair curled and powered, his
hat under his arm, and a little sword
with silk sword knot. He stood oppo,
site Derones, swords clashed, AMI the
thrusts came quick upon each other;
when, finally, Derones managed to get
tho point Of his weapon into Goethe's
sword knot, ard that ended the COM
bat. Then the two boys embraced
each other, and retired to restaurant
to refresh themselves with glass of
almond milk.

The Fair Diver of Manhattan
Reach
New York correspondence of the St. Louis Re-

New York correspondence of the St. Louis Re-
publican.
A daintily dressed woman in silks
and diamonds entered the bathing
house few days ago and emerged on
the sands in a becoming costume.
Two gentlemen, her husband and
brother, perhaps, met her, and hand
in hand they ran down the beach,
turned a somersault into the water,
and were soon splashipg around as
though the brine. was their native ele-
ment. The woman proved to be the
the best diver | ever saw, and she at
tracted the attention of all by her
wild encounters with the waves. She
would climb up to the shoulders other
companions, standing between like the
Colossus Of Rhodes, balancing herself
by clasping their uplifted hands.
When an angry wave rolled, increas-
ing in size, her companions, acting in
concert, pitched her into it, and for
minute she was out of sight; then she
laughing and happy to re-
peat the experience, and, not to have
all the fun to herself, she dove beneath
her companions and suddenly raising
her body, shesent them a tumbling head
first into the deep, while she swan
around to splash water into their faces,
in mischief, as they came up squirting
the wafer out of their mouths.

A Fight for life with a Grizzly.
San Francisco Bulletin.

odN FTaHclScO DultcJin.
On Wednesday afternoon man
named Williams came into San Jose,
for a doctor, stating that his COM
panion, Walter +. King, had been
badly injured by grizzly bear, in a
contest that morning in Il canon
known as otunk's Hollow, about 80
miles southeast Of San Jose. The
men were hunting for deer. King
got on Il bear track ON Tuesday and
went out early the next morning. As
he did not return in time, his COM
paniOn went out to search for him and
found him unconcious but still alive,
with his skull fractured and his left
side torn. A grizzly lay dead about
sixty yards away. King was restored
to conciousness and carried back TO
camp, with the assistance of two men,
who were camping few miles away.
King says he followed the bears
tracks to a sort of cave IN the hillside,
heavily bordered with chaparral, and
supposing the animal was on the in
side, was on the watch, when a rust
ling of the brush caused him to turn
and he then discovered bruin only
forty feet away. He raised his rifle
and fired and the bear came for him.
He shot three times, dropped his gun
and pulled his hunting knife just as
the brute reached him, but almost be-
fore he could use the knife the animal
closed OIL him. He cut frantically,
bnt WAS struck on the head by the
animals paw, and remembered no
more until carried back to camp.

Locomotive Longevity.
Scientific American.

The iron horse does not last much
longer than the horse of flesh and bones.
The ordinary life of a locomotive is
thirty years. Some of the smaller
parts are renewed every six months;
boiler tubes last five years and the
crank axle six years; tires, boilers, and
fire boxes from six to seven years; the
side frames, axles and other parts thir-
ty. An important advantages thata
broken part can be repaired and does
not condemn the whole locomotive to
the junk shop, while, when a horse
breaks leg, the whole animal is only
worth the flesh, fat and bones, which
amount to small sum in this country,
where horse flesh does not find its way
to the butchers shambles.

He procured loaded gun, and on
searching the house met Conkling and
Mrs. Sprague engaged chatting togeth-
er in most confiding way, and it is
said addressed the Senator by saying:
"Sir, l have endured this long enough.

asked Conkling to defend himself;
whereupon Roscoe remarked: 81 am
