In the Long Run.


In the long run fame finds deserving man.
The lucky wight may prosper for a day,
But in good time true merit leads the van,
And vain pretense, unnoticed, goes its way.
There is no chance, no destiny, no fate,
But fortune smiles on those who work and
wait,
In the long run.
In the long run all goodly sorrow pays,
There is no better thing than righteous pain,
The sleepless nights, the awful thorn-crowned
days,
Bring sure reward to tortured soul and
brain.
Unmeaning joys enervste in the end,
But sorrow yields glorious dividend
In the long run.
In the long run all hidden things are known,
The eye of truth will penetrate the night,
And good or i'll, thy secret shall be known,
However well It's guarded from the light.
All the unspoken motives OF the breast
Are fathomedby the years and stand contest
In the long run.
In the long run all love is paid by love,
Tho undervalued by the hearts OF earth;
The great eternal government above
Keeps strict account and will redeem its
work.
So beautiful a thing was never lost
In the long run.
Ella Wheeler.

Grave Of the Author of Home, Sweet
HOme,o

A letter from Tunis, Africa, says:
l must tell you of our visit to the Prot
estant cemetery to see the grave of
John Howard Payne, the immortal
author of Home, Sweet Home" This
man, who never knew the Joys of real
home died alore and unhappy in this
far-off land. We called upon our
American consul at Tunis, who told us
some interesting things in connection
with the last years of our unfortunate
countryman, who died in the same
room in which we were then sitting.
In a small inclosure, planted with
cypress tress, and shut in with high
walls, we found this quiet resting place
of the dead, among many tombs OF
foreign consuls, English, German and
other nationalities. Our attention was
first attracted to the plain white mar
BILE slab, resting on square founda
tion, and overhung by an immense
pepper tree, whose long graceful
branches reminded us of the weeping
willow of our own land. We stood
with uncovered heads as we read thii
simple inscription F.:

A Ship's Collision With an Iceberg.

Captain Nyberg, of the Russian bark
Condor, ,tCld reporter OF thrilling eX-
pcrience while on the voyage to New
York. 1t was during heavy fog, he
said, and sailor named Harigo was
making the main royal fast, when sud-
denly there came cry from the look
out in the bow, to keep her off," My
nephew,W. Nyberg, is mate and was at
the wheel at the moment. He instantly
obeyed the warning, which was echoed
by the after watch.
At that moment | came out of my
cabin by the after companion way, and,
as it seemed 10 me, in that exact second
of time the crash came. The bark was
moving at about the rate OF four knots,
and fortunately obeyed her helm read

squarely, and beyond question would
have gone 10 the bottom. AS it was
she sheered off so that she struck first
with her port cathead, broke the chain
and whirled the anchor upon deck. AT
the same time her maintopsail yardarm
smashed into the berg, as did the fore
topgallant mast and the mizzen top
mast. The great pressure against her
yards caused the masts to bend and the
vessel to keel over on her side partially
and as she did so the main chain plates
on the port side struck the berg with
terrific force, parting her lanyards anC
allowing the mainmast TO go by the
board. 1t came down with all the toI
hamper over her side, and the mizzeI
topmast and the fore topgallant wen

Land Birds at Sea.

During a recent passage of the White
Star steamer Germanic from Liverpool
to New York, and when about one thou
sand miles from Queenstown, a strange
bird was discovered in the rigging. The
sailors and passengers endeavored to
catch it, but without SUI cess, until DIR.
G. w. Golf, OF this city, one of the pas
sengers, came ON deck, when the bird at
once flew into his hands. The doctor
cared for it, and upon the arrival OF the
steamer presented the bird to the col
lection at the Central park. The bird
is known as the whimbrel-a peculiar
land bird resembling the curle W in habits
and about the size of prairie hen, black
and gray plumage, wings like a bat, with
long whalebone-like bill in shape
similar to that of a woodcock. Great
interest was attached to The bird by the
officers of the ship from the fact of its
being land bird found so far at sea, with
wings but poorly calculated to sustain il
for any length of time.
The owl Kate Field, captured under
similar circumstances in midocean last
autumn by one of the crew of the Whits
Star steamer Celtic, is still at the Ceh
tral park, thriving, contented, and doinl
honor by the wisdom Of her 1eounte
nance to the name she BEARS scien' if

How Russian Peasants Killed a Witch.

The Penza Provincial Journal, Rus
sian paper, saws: In the village OF Nor
dovsky Parok lived woman, Agra
phena Chinday kina, known among the
village population as witch. This
opinion she rather encouraged than
otherwise, reaping substantial profits
from her alleged witchcraft. In order
to keep up her dangerous reputation
Agraphena, from time to time, appeared
at midnight, her hair disheyeled, and
in white dress, walking III the streets
and even entering the yards ofthe peas
ants. In the night of May 3 Agraphena
was discovered in the cellar of one OF
her neighbors. Enraged at the thought
of the troubles that might ensue from
her visit, he furiously assaulted her,
grasping her by the hair and beating her
mercilessly with fence stake, which is
popularity held to be the only effective
weapon against witches and sorcerers.
The members of the family rushed out
of the house at his outcry, and took an
active part in the chastisemens OF Agra
phena. They dragged her by her haiI
over the ground, aud inflicted number
| less blows with sticks. Then the neigh
bors, aroused by the confusion, appeared
on the scene. In order to prevent thu
witch from mysteriousIy vanishing, th'
peasants tied her firmly to pillar witt
old reins, which, according to the cur
rent notions, witches are unable t,
loosen. The husband of Agraphena ant
her father-in-law used their utmost ei
forts to pacify the villagers and to saw
the life of the wretched woman. Blu
all was in vain. The enraged populac
shouted =" Beat her squarely, break he
arms and legs" And the beating wa
resumed with an increased ferocity
At last the local authorities made thel
appearance and put an end to the savag
work, but it was too late to save th
life OF Agraphena. When united froI
the pillar, she fell on the ground
corpse.

The mountain tops are all aglow,
The dew is clinging to the thorn,
The lark salutes the rosy morn;
With fragrance all the air made sweet
A dawn with perfect charms replete
The clouds in pearly vapors lie,
A slumbring silence fills the sky;
Still wider grows the harbor-bar,
Still DINNER grows the morning star.

This soft bewilderment OF shade and sheen!
