THE DAYS THAT ARE NO MORE.

Tears, idle tears, know not what they mean,
Tears from the depth Of some divine despair,
Rise in the heart and gather in the eyes.
In looking or the happy autumn fields
And thinking of the days that are no more.
Fresh as the first beam glttering on a sail
That brings our friends up from the under world,
Sad as the last, which reddens over one
That sinks with all we love below the verge,
So sad, so fresh. the days that are no more.
An, sad and strange, as in dark summer dawns
The earliest pipes of half-awakened birds,
To doing ears, when unto dying eyes
The easement slowly grows a gmmering square,
So sad, SO strange, the days that are no more.
Dear as Remembered kisses after death,
And sweet as those by hopeless fancy feigned,
On lips that are for others; deep as love
Dear as first love, and wild with all regret;
Oh, death in line the days that are no more.

Miracle Making.
New York Times.


A brief dispatch from Paris announces
the death Of nun named Bernadette
Soubrious. 1t was this lady who, in 1858,
professed she saw the Virgin at Lourdes,
ever since which time the supply of mira
cles has been in excess of the demand.
The extraordinary success of the Lourdes
discovery afforded a very natural impetus
to the spread of stories of miraculous ap-
pearances and instead of the Roman au-
thorities being content to look upon mira
cles as rare and occasional phenomena, they
made bold to demand from the faithful
belief in their frequent occurrence. At
last familiarity with miraculous appear
ances of the Virgin seemed to have bred a
contempt foI them. They are now being
disowned and discredited, one after the
other. Only the other day the Bishop of
Ratisbone issued a pastoral to his flock to-
discourage any further belief in the miracle
OF Mattenbach, prohibiting any pilgrim
ages for the future ta the spot where the!
Virgin was reported to have miraculously
appeared to some young children in 1876.
The Bishop, after careful investigation of
the story, cane to the conclusion that it
had been altogether concocted by the chill
dren and similar opinion exists with re-
gard to the miraculous appearance of the
Virgin at Marpingen, in Prussian Rhine
land, in July, 1876. This latter Virgin
made her debut in the woods to three little
girls, aged from eight to ten years, daugh.
ters of agricultural laborsrs. It ia also o
noteworthy fact that she came to Marping-
en- during the height of ultramontane an
tagonism to the reunion of Germany under
Prussia Protestant auspices. In course of
time the wood was shut up by the Govern
ment, and prosecution was instituted
against the parents Of the three visionary
girls, five village priests and half dozen
other persons implicated in the sorry bust.
ness. The preliminary inquiry instituted
lasted two years half, and the trial took
place at Saarbruck in March last but the
sentence Of the court has not reached us.
There is no doubt, however, of the fraud
being subst4ntiated. The result was diff
ferent, however, in the case of the La
Salette miracle. A Mile. De Lamerliere
won an action for libel against the two
Grenoble priests who accuse her of having
played the role of the Virgin to the chill
dren who told the story. But these things
are better managed in Rhenish Prussia
than in French Provence.

Up.H Work.

Uphill work, both literally and igura-
lively. means work in two directions at
once; literally, it is going forward while
we raise our own weight figuratively, it is
doing things and learning how to do them
at the same time; thus lifting ourselves on
to higher platform of moral or intellectu-
al being. There is always in some senses
an ascending slope before us, which we
may scale If we will. But happily it does
not rest with ourselves to decide whether
the general tenor of our lives shall be that
of laborious ascent or of gentle downward
gliding. The force Of gravitation need not
be always regarded as type Of the deprav-
ed tendencies of the human heart. There
is time for all things, says the wise man,
and if there is time for learning, 30 is
there, happily, time forgetting; and also
time for idly applying and enjoying what
we have learned. There is time for
scrambling upward, and time for lying on
the grass in the valley; time for climb
ing fruit-trees, and time for letting the
ripe fruit drop into our mouths. Even
Christian, who was not the man to finch
from his share of climbing, found rest and
refreshment in the Valley of Humiliation.
and it would be a poor view of life which
valued nothing that was not gained BY the
sweat of our brow. Let life tend eyer SO
steadily upward in its moral and spiritual
aspects, and intellectual labor be ever so
strenuously directed toward higher and
higher levels of attainment, still there will
be in tho outward life pauses from all activ-
ity, and welcome and gentle relaxations of
effort, when our wisdom is to sit still, and
receive the riches which flow into our souls
from above. Hard work is, no doubt, q
cure for many evils, and the taste for it
most excellent one to acquire If We can, but
not to be able to abstain from it for time,
not to have any idea of enjoyment without
1t, is miserable slavery and blindness

INDIANS VINO SAY THAT CUSTER KILLED
HIMsELF. Indian account Of the death
of Custer will not, think, prove uninter-
esting. The Indians say, that, after the
general stampede, Custer tried to rally his
men around him. He waved his pistol in
the air and shot it off twice, to attract his
men. Two or three gathered around him,
but as the Indians still continued to ad-
vance, one of the soldiers tried to run. Gus
ter fred at him and killed him, and then,
seeing the case quite hopeless, the Indians
gathering around him from all parts, turn
ed the revolver ON himself, preferring to die
by his own hand. The Indians say they
think this person was Custer, - no was .
chief; but they are not certain Of the fact.
Rain-in-the-Face took soldier prisoner,

was killed atat dance that followed the

thing-shat tho number Of Indians kiilsd u

A Nuisance That Should Be Abol-
ished.

We would suggest to the City Marshal that
some attempt should be made to suppress the
whistling and cat-calls in the gallery at An
geos Hall when first-class entertainments are
given there The audience and the performers are
alike entitled to protection from this nuisance,
which is 80 freely INDUCED in by negro and
white boys, more particularly the former.
The shrilI whistling on Monday night was
fearful, and it was noticeable that it came
from the black side of the gallery almost ex-
clusively The loud OUTLAWS" during the
most pathetic parts of the performance, were
equally Objectionable, but we suppose there Is
no remedy for that they pay for the priv
ilege OF laughing, and entitled to do so
whether they have sense enough to laugh al
the proper place or not. But the whistling
should not be permitted. Ii the police force
cannot or will not, stop it, the young men in
the audience should take the matter in hand,
and kick the nuisances out of the hall and
keep them out until they learn to behave de-
Gently where decent people are congregated.
