The Net of Life.

YEARLY sit and weave
The tangling web of life,
The pattern which my hands have wrough
Is but biz of color fraught
With daily, hourly strife.
Longingly seek to trace
The inwove threads span,
To know how this and that unite
For bringing forth the figure bright
That forms the perfect plan.
Rapidly the shuttle flies
When heart and hope are mine;
When on the loom the sunlight pours,
The fiecks of gold, like summer flowers,
In wondrous beauty shine. ',
GlOomily the fingers move,
Dark tinted is the work,
When 'mong the threads an evil knot
Envy and malice-loveforgot,
Doth unexpected lurk.
Patiently, with tear dimmed eye, 1
Weave in sorrows day;
Scarce can tell what threads hold .
only know that grief untold
Hides all but sodden gray. .s,,.
Trustfully 1 sit and weave,
know tits mine to do,
That which He gives into my hand
Complete in Hin who wisely planned
Shall be the pattern true. 7

HID IN A TURF-RICK.
An Irish Episode.

"The Irish are fine race!"
"That's your opinion, is it?''

the :" Sappers," as we called them in
popular phraseology. Place, the smok-

After uttering the above oracular
answer, Ellerslie pulled away silently at
his long Havana for awhile. I did not
interrupt him, for saw a twinkle in
his eye, and knew there was something
coming presently. He was one of
those men whose thoughts it is not well
to hurry, for fear of losing their thread
altogether.
At last it came, as 1 anticipated.

of my adventures in that lovely coun-
try? In fact, the story is so much
against myself, that thought it just as
well to keep it dark. However, if you
will swear solemnly to be silent as the
grave l don't mind telling you now.
At all events, it is not bad joke as it
turned out, though it might have been
serious one.''
Of course I promised inviolable
secrecy, however good the story
might be, and, having fortified myself
with brandy-and-soda, Ellerslie be-

they were needed, especially at Long,

they have come down to one troop of

the commission, for had never been to

She-eighteen, ripe, with a looking glass!
The birds sang love to her in the trees,
And the crickets Missed me in the grass!
She rifled berries in many bush,
The white arm flashed in many tnrn;
A sunbeam broke on it like blush;

A brook ran rOllcking on our way;
We stopped a moment and as we stood
The sweet, warm, amorous air of May
Hymned Hymen, Hymen throughout the

Her voice had tender and timid tones,
And a frightened laugh and a laughing
scream;
Her fine feet flew on the stepping stones;
Watched the trout turn against the stream

heard her sigh and saw her smile;
She was beside me, and as we walked

And have thought of it ever since.

A HOUSE of ice, similar to that which
was built in the Empress Anne's reign,
about to be constructed in the Zoolo-
gical Garden at Moscow. The managers
of that establishment have found among
its archives some valuable details as to
the mode of building which was adopted
on the former occasion, and they will
be adhered to in the present instance.
The first edi6ce was raised between the
Admiralty and the Winter Palace at St.
Petersburg, in 174O, and was formed
throughout walls, roofs, windows, dec
orations, alike-of ice. The blocks
we're cut in square shape and their
surfaces sprinkled with water, which,
when placed in juxtaposition, froze in
the interstices and bound the whole into
one compact and solid mass. Attic en-
trance of the structure was large gal
lery filed with statues. The pilasters
on the exterior were fashioned to imi-
tate green marbles. The antechamber
possessed four windows and the other
rooms five each, while on the sills stood
vases filed with flowers made of ice,
shrub-like plants, covered with birds of
the same material, standing at the cor
ners. Bookcases, chairs, tables, ward
robes, utensils, candelabras, beds, were
all of ice.

The Indian As An Advertiser.

A bill has been introduced in Con-
gress to prevent the use of the United
States flag for advertising purposes.
When that is put through
successfully and the old flag
secured from further desecra-
ton at the hands of advertisers, there is
another wrong that we desire to see
corrected. The poor, patient, wooden
Injun has been obliged for many years
almost ever since Sir Walter Raleigh's
day-to stand guard in front of tobacco
stores, advertising the weed. There he
stands through the heat of summer and
amid wintry storms, with the outward
stoicism of his race, but who can tell
the anguish that burns within that tim
Der bosom when he reflects upon his
degradation. Boys take liberties with
him and cuff him, drunken men come
along and try to shake hands with him,
small jokers pretend to take a cigar
from his outstretched hand. At night
he is roughly and joltingly wheeled into
the shop and stood in corner, without
even bench to stretch his weary form
upon. Often his nose is knocked off. or
an eye gouged out, while it is not un-
common to find an arm and even leg
gone. Now, the Indian is a relic of by
gone America. A pretty lively relic on
the frontier occasionally, still relic.
He is all that remains to show what race
of people inhabited this country before
the white men came, and viewed in that
light he is entitled to reverence and a
show of dignity. Let not his noble form
be submitted to such base tobacco uses
any longer. Give the wooden Indian a

with my host, and forming my ideas Of
Irish political economy as it is, and as it
should be, which, being rather hobby

There was gentleman's family living
in the neighborhood, which I soon made
the acquaintance of, as in that out-of-
the-way locality the arrival of a
stranger was as great an event
as that of foreign potentate in
London. Several afternoons 1 spent
pleasantly at the big house, playing
lawn-tennis with the young ladies of the
place, whom found to be far more pro-
ficient in the art than their English sis
tiers, probably from the solitude of their
country life having obliged them to con-
centrate their energies on that particu-
lar form of amusement.
"One day that I had been spending
in the above manner, and on which 1
had accepted kind invitation to dinner

trifle quick-tempered as though he had

commented thereon and now the writer
falls into passion and calls us hard

account for it. Perhaps the warning ele-
ments have been quelled, and peace has
been declared between the belligerents.
But whether this be so or not, we counsel
moderation on the part Of our friend and
trust that the organ with a father-in-law
may contain no more ebullitions Of his
spleen and spite such as the one of last
week. They are in shocking bad taste
and provoke only derision and contempt.

THE DEATH of Judge Trigg, Of the
United States court for the district of
Tennessee, leaves a vacancy which, it is
believed in Washington legal and politi-
cal circles will be offered to Postmaster
General Key. A telegram to The Inter
Ocean says a strong effort is being made
to have Judge Key appointed, as he is
known to be one of the best lawyers in
Tennessee and in every way well fitted
for this position. It seems to be the de-
sire of lawyers and others Of both parties
that he have the place, as the district
embraces his old home and the scenes of
his early practice and subsequent Judge
ship. 1t is believed that there viii be no
opposition whatever to his appointment,
should the president tender him the
position and he conclude to accept it.

peculiarly qualities him for position on

The CHICAGO JOURNAL says of the
Pennsylvania democratic state convention
that it was not so decisive as either the
Tilden or Hancock factions could have
wished, but under the circumstances the
Tildenites, who were led by Speaker Ran
dali, can claim a partial victory, inasmuch
as they succeeded in defeating the unit
rule, which would in all probability have
given the vote Of the solid delegation at
Cincinnati to General Hancock. It is
not definitely ascertained how the delega-
ton does stand, Senator Wallace claiming
50 for Hancock as against 20 for Tilden,
while W. L. Scott claims 40 for Tilden
and Is for Hancock. The delegates at
large are equally divided-Lewis c. Cas-
sidy and R. Milton Speer for Hancock,
and William L. Scott and William s.
Stenger for Tilden.

in Georgi Ia " that as Georgia cannot give
her vote to the republican candidate, her
delegates should consult the wishes OF
the northern republicans at Chicago"
This is the correct thing for all the south
ern states to do, no one of which will give
our ticket an electoral vote. The states
which are to elect the ticket, if it is elect
ed at all, should not have forced upon
them candidates whom they doInot want,
