SHADOWS.

Airily swinging the willows over,
Alrily two and fro;
Dreamily flows the quiet water,
Over the rocks below;
Flows in many a sunny rimple,
In and out in curve and dimple.
Round about the rocks below.
Where the light lies on the river,
Where the willows bend and qulver,
Long dark shadows shift and shiver,
Shiver two and fro.
Gray-beard Time. his scythe forgetting,
Toys with rosy June,
Loath TO part, with step unwilling,
Slowly creeps toward noon,
Humming-bird from blossom slipping
Brown bees into the clover slipping,
Fill the air with drowsy Groom;
But the willows tossing, blowing,
Ger the waters smoothly flowing,
Evermore their shadows throwing,
Break the lull OF noon.
Twilight gathering in the valley,
Sunset on the height;
Clouds above the mountain breaking
Into riffs Of light.
Darkness now upon the meadows,
Higher, higher climb the shadows,
Nearer comes the night.
Curvmg, dimpling flows the river,
With the willows dropping over
But no shadows fitful quiver
Stirs the hush OF night.

OTHER FELLOWS THINK
so TOO.

There's just one thing man can have
In all the world Of woe and strife,
That makes the business not too bad,
And that one things an easy wife.
Dost fancy that love mygirl
For rosy cheeks or raven hair?
She holds my heart because she laughs
Because she laughs, and doesn't care.
1 put my boots just where it suits,
And find them where put them, too;
That is a thing you must allow,
A chap can very seldom do.
leave my papers on my desk;
She never dusts them in heap,
Or takes to light the kitchen stove
The very one want to keep.
On winter nights my cozy dame
Will warm her toes before the fire;
She never scolds about the lamp,
Or wants the wick a trife higher.
On Sundays she is not so fine
But what her ruffies can hug;
light my pipe just where please,
And spill the ashes on the rug.
The bed is never filled with ''shams'-
A thing some women yilely plan
To worry servants half TO death.
And spoil the temper of man.
She let's me sleep to any hour,
Nor raises any horrid din
Ifit just happens, now and then,
To be quite late when come in.
tell you, lack, if you would wed,
Just get girl who let's things run;
She'll keep her temper like lamb,
And help you on to lots Of fun.
Don't look for money, style. or show,
Or blushing beauty, ripe and rare;
Just take the one who laughs at fate
Who laughs, and shows she doesn't care.
You think, perhaps, our household ways
Ale just perchance little mixed;
oh, when they get too horrid bad,
We stir about and get things fixed.
What compensation has a man
Who earns his bread by sweat of brow,
1fhome is made battle-ground,
And life one long, eternal row?

PEGGING AWAY.

There was old shoemaker, sturdy as steel
or great wealth and repute in his day,
Who, ifquestioned his ecret of luck to reveal,
Would chirp like bird on a spray,
at isn't so much the vocation you're in,
Or your liking fer it," he would say,
"As 1t is that forever through thick and through hn
You should keep up pegging away"
have found it a maxim of value, whose truth
Observation has proved in the main;
And which well might be vaunted watchword by
youth
In the labor Of hand and Of brain;
For even II genius and talent are cast
Into work with the strongest display
You can never be sure of achievement at last
Unless you keep pegg.ng away.
There are shopmen who might into statesmen have
grown,
Politicians for handiwork made
Some poets who better in shops had shone,
And mechanics best suited for trade
But when once in the harness, however it fit,
Buckle down to your work night and day,
Secure in the triumph Of hand and of wit,
Ifyou only keep pegging away.
There times 10 all tasks when the end Discomfort
ADVISES a pause or q change,
And, on fields far away and irrelevant bent,
The purpose IS tempted to ranges
Never heed but in sound recreation restore
Such traits as are slow to obey,
And then, more persistent and staunch than before
Keep peggng and pegging away.
leave ftful endeavor for such would cast
Their spendthrift existence in vain,
For the secret of wealth the present and and past
And OF fame and Of honor, is plain;
1t lies not in change. nor in sentiment nice,
Nor wayward exploit and display,
But Just in the shoemaker's homely advice
To keep pegging and pegging away.

DON'T SLANDER.-A woman writes of
Mrs Hayes: "As so much is said and
written about the temperance principles
of our Presidents wife, | would like to
present another phase of her character
as an example for the women of our land
to follow. During an acquaintance with
her for the last twenty-five years, |
have never heard her speak i'll of any
one. I once asked her how this came
about, that she was SO guarded in this
respect, when l knew she was tempted
as much as any one to use her tongue to
the detriment of others. She said in
reply, that at night, before going to
sleep, her husband would say to her !:
Now, have we said anything against
any one to-day? 2 l know this is en-
tering the privacy of the home circle of
the long ago; but as she is now in such
conspicuous place, | cannot forbear to
use my knowledge for the general good.
She herself may never think of possess
ing this trait. and may not remember
this remark of hers to me; but years
have not effacedsit from my mind"

WE DO NOT CLAIM

that HOOPS SARsAPARILLA will cure every
thing, but the fact that on the purity and
vitality Of the blood depend the vigor and
health of the whole system, and that disease
of various kinds is often only the sign that
nature is trying to remove the disturbing
cause, we are naturally led to the conclusion
that a remedy that gives life and vigor to
the blood, eradicates scrofula and other i'm
purities from it, as HOOPS SARsAPARILLA
undoubtedly does, must be the means of pre-
venting many diseases that would occur
without its use; hence the field of its useful
ness is quite an extended one, and we are
warranted in recommending it for all de-
rangements Of the system which are caused
by an unnatural state of the blood.

Why Suffer with SaH-RheUm 2

MEssRs. G. !. HOOD & Co., Lowell, Mass.
Gentlemen-I was a great sufferer. from
Salt-Rheum on my limbs, for dozen years
previous TO the summer of 1876, at which
time / was cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla.
The skin would become dry, chap, crack
open, bleed and itch intensely, SO. that l
could not help scratching, which OF course
made them worse. At the time / COM
menced taking Hoods Sarsaparilla dn the
summer of 1870 they were so bad that they
discharged, and was obliged to keep them
bandaged with linen cloths. The skin was
drawn so tight by the heat Of the disease
that If / stopped over they would crack open
and actually bring tears into my eyes. The
first bottle benefited me so much that con-
tinued taking 1t till was cured used one
box of Hoods Olive Ointment, to relieve the
itching. Hoping many others may learn the
value OF Hoods Sarsaparilla and receive as
much benefit as / have, / am,
Very truly yours,

Notable Autographs.

Notable autographs in the Paris ''Murcia,"
paper sold at the festival to raise relief funds
for the drowned-out people of Murcia in Spain
are thus written about by Edward King, in
letter to the New York Evening Post; lis a
species of album, to which almost every Euro
pean celebrity has contributed, and his or her
autograph appears in fac-simile. In addition
to this Gustave Dore MISSIONER, Bouguereau,
Detaille, De Melville, Gerome, Madrazo, Bas-
ten Lepaye, Vibert, Jean Paul Laurens, Car
olus Duran, Cabanel and Clairin as well as
host of artists not SO famous, have furnished
noteworthy pictures. Dore's design, which
represents the angel of charity descending over
desolate and half-drowned Murcia is notably
fine. Autographs of great men are always in
teresting. Here are pages of. them. Here is
Gladstone's traditional postal card, with a
clumsy but firm script, in which he declares
that he has rescued q moment to thank the
committee for their great work Of charity.
The pope sends Latin motto in cramped,
scholarly writing Gortschakoff informs us
that s'his conscience is his judge" and signs
himself beneath this sentiment in q painstak-
ing chirography which shows no tremulous-
ness of age Castelars letters are long and
nicely looped, like those of lady; it is evil
dent that he takes pleasure in making "copy."
He has contributed sentiment, however,
which is fit only for schoolgirls album.
Gambetta's handwriting is fine and nervous;
there is also touch of legal accuracy about it.
Prince Orlaff writes in characters proper to
adorn circus poster. Alfonso of Spain and
his mamma possess a plain running" hand
which has no especial character. Isabella
observes in her sentiment that as her ances-
tress Isabella gave her jewels to aid in con-
quering the Indies, so would she give her life
for her "dear SPAIN; but these are merely
words. The autographs of the kings and
queens OF Portugal, Holland and Belgium,
and of hereditary and reigning princes of
Europe, are all disfigured by some official flour
ish which usually covers more than half the
name and scarcely allows it to be seen. Field
Marshal Won Moltke and Gen. Won Manteuff-
ell are the only Germans whose autographs ap-
pear Moltke informs the world that "Char-
ity knows no difference between nations;" and
writes it it in large letters which look like the
beginning of an official report. Garibaldi's
writing seems to have the st. Vitus's dance.
Canovas del Castillo's is clerkly and particu-
lar. Won Beust writes like an American miss
in her teens.

Terrible Colliery Explosion.
PROBABLE LOSS OF 90 LIVES.

LONDON, Jan. 21.-A colliery explosion at
Newcastle-under-Tyne occurred this morning..
There is little hope that any in the pit, esti-
mated at from 70 to 80 persons, will be saved
Search is delayed by damage to the shaft. The
explosion is attributed to the gaseous nature
of the coal seam.
up. m.-Latest accounts from the colliery
explosion fix the number in the pit at II. 1t
is not believed that more than six of those res
cued can recover. Twenty-Five corpses were
brought up, the most of them being unrecog
nizable. A few were rescued but they are dy-
ing rapidly. The scene at the mouth of the
pit is heart-rending.
One of the recovered corpses had lost part of
his head and some of the others were burned
to cinders, while some appeared to be killed
by conclusion. Gangs of volunteers are
descending frequently The part of Lycett
colliery where the explosion occurred is known
as Fair Lady pit, and is the same in which six
men were killed last autumn.
The fire has been raging with great violence
the pit but is now being subdued and large
quantities of debris removed, enabling the ex-
plorers to proceed rapidly. The latest report
places the number of deaths at 70. Another
explosion is feared. Five more bodies have
been recovered from the mine and 20 others
have been found in the pit. They will be
brought up tonight Ventilation has been re-
stored

PANAMA, Jan. 10.-The war news from the

that each day would usher in a blockade. The
Blanco Encalada, Loa and Amazonas visited
Payta, Dec, %, and made slight demonstra-
tions. They left for the south the same night,
and in few days afterward in company with
another vessel were seen off Callao. On the
the morning of Jan. four more vessels were
seen there, and it is supposed there is an in
tenton to establish a blockade, when the
Huascar can join the squadron. IL is general
ly believed here that Callao is now blockaded.

positions and are being reinforced. Daza has
been deposed from the Presidency of Bolivia,

state of affairs at the State House on Monday
afternoon, the authorities desire to set matters
right. The exclusion of the so-called Fusion
Legislature from the State House was justified
by information received that they intended to
sit right along without adjournment. The
city marshal and others ascertained from posi-
tive information that enlistments for the Flu
sion side had been going on for "a hours in
preparation for the event, and it was deemed
simply an act of common prudence to close the
building to the public that afternoon, to say
nothing about the recognition by Gov. Davis
of quasi Governor and quasi Legislature.
This plan was fully known at the State House,
and is now authoritatively made public that
the people may understand that the State au-
thorities had good reason for closing the
House.
