THESE HEARTS OF OURS.
By WILLIAM D. POLLOCK.

These hearts of ours are sad concerns,
Made up of many troubles;
Yet, after all, one half our woes
Are only Fancy's bubbles
Are only little drinks that form,
AS knitting yarn UNFINISHED
That soon will yield and straighten out
When patience is enlisted.
We are too quick to take offense,
Too proud to be forgiving,
And prone to think the hardest task
Is Justice to the living.
For do we not the dead forgive,
When tears with smiles are blended?
And hearts at last forgive the wronged-
The silent ones offended?
Each quick retort or idle word,
In angry moments spoken,
a memory leaves that grieves at last
Some tender heart, half broken.
And when, too late to make amends,
Some one has left us, saddened,
We then may think by kindly words
True hearts we may have gladdened.
God sends the sun to cheer our lives,
And night consoles the weary;
And though we look on both, unmoved,
Their ways are never dreary.
SO should our hearts be kind, and love
Contiol our simplest actions,
And ito forgive" our motive be
In every days transactions.
For life is full of little things,
The soul with sadness filling;
Yet summer comes mid winter scenes,
If but the heart be willing.
So stretch the hand of Love to all;
There's pleasure in forgetting
Each little wrong our pride repels-
Our hearts at last regretting.

A FEARFUL WARNING.

LOUISVILLE, January II, 1879.
This morning about 3 o'clock the inmates
of Hannah Daley's bagnio, on Lafayette
street, were aroused from their slumbers by
a wild cry from Maud May, a lady boarder.
apartment and, to their establishment and
horror discovered the woman in the last
agonies OF death. She turned to her female
companions. and in a feeble voice said:
Il am dying; dying the happiest death
that q sinner can die. Before I leave you
take this as my parting gift. Those of you
who have parents, go to them. II you have
homes, no matter how humble, leave this
lite of SIM" Here she sank back upon her
pillow exhausted.
"Sne is gone" sobbed one of the women.
"Ohl what a warning!
mot yet,n came a faint voice from the
bed. mot yet. Not until I have said be-
ware of opium; it's the DEVILS nectar. Be-
ware of morphine, the prime minister OF
DEATH 1t is the friend of sorrow and the
foe to pleasure. Beware of it." Her voice
failed at this juncture and she sank quietly
into q peaceful slumber, from which she
never awOke.
The scene at the bedside of the fallen
woman would have made study for an art
list, an inspiration for poet. The face of
the corpse was calm, but not more pallid
than those which bowed over all that was
once mortal of their departed sister. The
dim light from coal oil lamp cast the
grotesque and sombre shadows of
the picture on the blank wall, and a ghostly
atmosphere pervsded the room. Such a
deathbed scene has seldom been recorded.
Women, double dyed in sin. gave way to
their better nature and pledged their souls to
life of rectitude thereafter.
Maud May was a confirmed morphine
eater, and met her death by an overdose OF
the deadly drug. She was about % years of
age, and was to the moment of her demise a
beautiful and intelligent woman. She was
born in Ohio, and according to her former
statement was brought to a life of shame by
a young man in Cincinnati. The influence
of the poisonous drug led her to petty crimes,
and several times she was arrested for steal
ing small articles from her associates. Six
times she has attempted her life.

walls of the interior divisions were OF
the same thickness. The ceilings OF the
rooms had been about seven feet high.
The floors were made of small round
logs, laid side by side. The ends re-
manned sticking in the walls where they
had rested, and showed that they were
hewed in a jagged fashion by some
rough instrument such as stone tools.
In fact, we picked up a number OF
stone hammers, probably used in the
construction and l have the promise OF
a stone Ratchet found here in perfect
state of preservation. The whole place
is strewn with fragments of pottery, all
of which seems glazed, and some orna-
mented with gliding. There were four
rooms surrounding an interior apart
ment, on each floor. Neither the floors
nor ceilings of the rooms were on the
same level. The inner room was with
out any visible means of entrance, the
only openings to it being oval holes on.
each side, about a foot in diameter, at a
convenient height to look out. Opposite
these, on the four sides, were similar
loop-holes in the outside walls, so that
view could be had of the surrounding
country from the inner apartment. The
inner rooms were square, while the out
er ones were long and narrow. But
three stories remain of the structure,
though it was described as being seven
stories high, the place deserted, and the
inhabitants unknown by the priests who
accompanied division of Cortez's
army that marched up here and spent
winter on the ella River more than
three centuries ago. Avaricious men
have excavated in the inner rooms in
the hope of finding gold and silver, but
have discovered nothing save some pot
terry, containing what was supposed to
be dried beans or corn.
The Pimo Indians, who have in
habited this part of the country since
the earliest knowledge of man, know
nothing of the inhabitants of this city.
In their Oldest legends the Casa Grande
was seven stories high, and in a good
state of preservation, being covered with
a roof, and the floors intact; but the
city was deserted, and no trace remain
ed of its inhabitants. 1t is thought by
some that they subsequently built the
city of Mexico, but it is strongly prob
able that they belonged to a race of
people anterior to the Aztecs. The
building was fired by some vandal, and

How Little Can a Person Live On

This question is one of those most
frequently asked, especially in these
times. 1t is often put in reference to a
family also, by some young person with
a view to matrimony. Then the inquiry
is: On how small an income is it safe
to get married? No rule on the subject
can be laid down; so much depends on
individual tastes and economy. We
knew wealthy merchant who began
housekeeping on an income of $500
year; and yet he contrived to lay up
something every year. He became rich,
and, after remaining rich many years,
in consequence of the imprudence of q
relative associated with him in business,
he failed. But, instead of taking the
benefit of the bankrupt law and getting
rid of his liabilities without paving
them, as he easily might have done, he
went resolutely to work, and through
his indomitable energy and strict econo-
my he paid off all his debts, and finally
died in independent circumstances.
Now, many young men in the same po-
sition in life would find the income on
which he got married and laid up
money, insufficient for their tailor's
bill; yet this gentleman dressed with a
scrupulous nicely that was the subject
of general remark. So it is in every
thing; one man will make dollar suf-
flee where another man would require
at least five dollars, or perhaps more,
and it is very difficult for the casual OBJ
server to discover wherein the differ
ence lies. Perhaps the safest rule is,
that whatever your income may be, if
you can lay up something from it, then
it is safe for you to get married. If you
are not able to do this, then, though
your income be, abstractly speaking,
large, you will still find it too small,
relatively, to your expenses.-N. 7.

MORE than a year ago an agent of the
Chinese Government engaged Mr.. A.
Harms, an American, to drill wells and
test the oil territory on the Island of
Formosa. He was accompanied by Mr..
r. D. Locke, of Titusville, Pa. They
took with them two full well-rigs, which,
after many delays, were finally landed
at Oudan, Is miles from the wells. They
were compelled to make a wagon out
of plank to transport them in, and to
construct road up the river-bed.-
Twelve buffaloes and so coolies hauled
the load. They drilled 1896 feet, but
found little besides soapstone all the
way down. They were unable to drill
deeper, and obtained at that depth only
so barrels of oil in 10 days. Before they
could make further attempts both were
Frustrated with malarial fever, from
which they have not yet entirely recov-
cred. They found out, however, that
the oil territory does not compare with
Pennsylvania, and that America has
nothing to fear from competition with
China in the oil trade. The oil is the
color of amber, and is of light gravity.

JULIA JOHNSON, a negro woman, liv-
ing near Jonesboro, Ca, had an inordi-
nate love of finery, and lacked the mon
ey to indulge herself in that weakness.
The widow Farmer, white neighbor,
aged 80, was known to keep about 300
in bureau draw. Julia went to the
widows house, enticed her daughter
into the woods, killed her, returned to
the house, killed the widow, got the
money, set fire to the building and es.
capped to her own home without being
seen. The atrocity of the crime excited
the people highly, but at first no suspi-
cion was entertained of Julia. Two
days afterward, unable to longer curb
the desire that had led her to commit
the deed, she went to Jonesboro and
spent all of the money for dresses and
jewelry. Her expenditures attracted a
detectives attention, and so much proof
of her guilt was obtained that she con-
fessed.

An Apes Mimicry.

The following is the story of Bar
barry Ape: Father Casaubon, famous
preacher, brought up the animal in
question, which, having become attach
ed to him, wished to follow him wher-
ever he went. One day when Casaubon
was going to church the ape, not being
made secure, followed his master to the
place of worship and being a good
climber silently mounted the sounding
board and lay there quiet and concealed
until the sermon was in course of de-
livery. 1t then advanced to the edge of
its perch to see what was going on be-
meath and to watch the actions of the
orator. These were no sooner observ-
ed by the able mimic than it began to
perform also, and its limitations of the
preacher were so perfectly grotesque
that the whole congregation was put in
state of great visibility such as gould
not be repressed. The good father was
alike shocked and indignant at the ILL
timed levity of his audience and began
to administer some severe reproofs.
But seeing all his efforts failing he
launched forth into violent action, ac-
companied by loud vociferations. His
frequent gestures the ape did not fail to
take up Immediately with no less ami
nation than that which inspired his
master. And at this apparent compe-
tition of the two individuals the people
burst into roars OF laughter, and when
the animal was pointed out to the pas
tor, though highly exasperated, it is
said he could hardly command his own
countenance while he gave directions to
have the ape removed.
