KISS ME BEFORE 1 GO.

Your way lies over the hillside,
Out in the rain and sleet,
Out in the worlds wild turmoil,
Where the hustle and business meet;
But mine by the noiseless fireside.
Where the fanciful embers glow
With q changeful life-1ike motion
Kiss me before you go.
My quiet way will be haunted
With visions none other can see.
Chances more precious than diamonds.
Smiles full of meaning to me;
The sound of a welcome footstep.
A whisper thrillingly low;
All, thought will clasp memory closely.
Kiss me before you go.
For this world is full of mischances,
And one of those may fall;
That we two ne'er again in the freight,
Make one shadow upon the wall.
oh, then, once more in the parting
Alas4 that 1T must be So
Leave me fond benediction
Kiss me before you go.

SAD DREAMS VANISH.
BY BERTHE VALERIE.

lam dreaming. while the sunlight
Fades adown the glowing West,
But cloud steals DER my sunlight,
And pang across my breast.
1 am dreaming of the loved ones,
That have wandered far from here;
Once again hear their sweet tones
Once more, shed the parting tear.
In my dreams, two graves are sleeping
One with grass Is covered o'er,
While the other. newly made, stands
Destitute of e'en flower.
In my dreams find me standing,
Close beside sisters bier;
Grief. my heartstrings sadly rendIng-
Stony grief, too deep for tears.
Vanish dreams-oh, dreams of sorrow!
Leave, oh, leave my soul awhile!
Let it not this sadness borrow
Lei it happiness beguile!
Vanish, dreams, oh, sad reminders;
Leave, oh leave, my soul alone!
Let the past be dead and buried
What is done, let still be done!

A BIBLICAL "CAMP RUMOR. -
There were two men in Mississippi
regiment, commanded by Col. Stith, of
Baltimore. One Of these men contend.
ed that the Scriptures were of divine
origin, and the other said they were of
human invention, and asked his oppo-
nent, in one OF the arguments which
they were continually having, if he be-
lieved the story of Jonah and the whale,
to which the other replied: Eyes" "Do
you also believe that the three Hebrews
passed through the fiery furnace with
out feeling the heat ?" persisted the in-
fidel. "Yes," came the answer again.
"Do you believe" cana sharply, "that
Sampson slew all those thousands of
Ehiiistines with the jawbone of an ass ?"
1t was just after the battle of Shiloh,
and the believer in the Bible had Just
had some tough experience in the diff
Guilty Of fighting only four or five to
one. "Well," he answered, hesitating-
ly, to the last home thrust, "I-I-al-
ways regarded that story as mere
camp rumOr."
FIERY SPLENDoR IN MExIgo.-fCity
of Mexico, May 6.i-The volcano of
Coliaa, now in active eruption, is a
grand and magnificent sight. The first
symptoms of activity were manifested
on Sunday. There were low rumblings
and subterranean mutterings, and the
mountain shook and trembled. The
eruption at night is full of splendeG and
grandeur. Last night lurid flames shot
up from the crater Of tAa volcano, illu-
minating tho darkness for miles around.
1aeanaescent stones are also thrown I'D.
together with showers of ashes, which
darken the atmosphere in day time. The
fire, smoke, ashes, and stones are ac-
companied with dreadful subterranean
thunderingg and frightful and unearthly
noises under the volcano, together with
Quakings of the earth. Inhabitants of
villages and towns in the vicinity of the
mountain are in state of panic and
wild terror. They are, indeed, In dan
ger in case of a flow of lava.-Cb7res-

Tonight Tho Howgato expedition has COM

August, succession of minor disasters pur'
sued the luckless little steamer. On this date
she reach cd Disco, where fifteen days were
spent in repairs. On the voyage from ST. Johns
to Disco Il succession of gales was experienced,
clearing the decks aud inhcing considerable
damage on the hull of tho steamer. large
hole was smashed in the storm and the lar
board boat swept away, tho bulwarks stove In
and tho deck load Of lumber intended for tho
house to accommodate the party 10 bc left in
tho Arctic was washed overheard.
The valuable time lost ut St. Johns and Disco
is mainly the reason why the Gulnarc did not
pierce the Arctic sea beyond tho SEVENTEEN
parallel. In any case tho vessel was totally
unequal to the task imposed upon her. and
IL is not extraordinary that the expedition has
proved abortivo.

THAT RODDERY,
The story Of the Theft In tho Second Audi
tors Onico.

TORS OnCo.
A theft committed about year ago in tho
Office Of the second auditor of tho treasury
having recently come to light was made the
subject yesterday of publication quite re.
markable for tho exaggeraton and distortion
of the facts. The followlngis n atruthful state
mcnt of the case: When Hon. Il. b. Fronch held
tho position of second auditor he had as
chief clerk man named G. +. Herring.
In the chiefclerk's room Is kept what is known
as the property safe, in which has been stored
for years largo amount of property, the
most of 1t intrinsically wOrthoss-takcu from
unknown dead soldiers and sent to the war
department and never identified or claimed.
This collection consists of jack-knivos, pipes,
tobacco boxes, photographs and every con.
coivable thing that soldier would be likely
to carry about him. About tho only valuable
thing in tho collection was quantity
of town bonds TO the value Of $4,000.
Chief Clerk Herring died last winter, and
after his death It was discovered that
these bonds had been abstracted from the
safe. Tho matter was referred to the chief Of
the secret service, who made u thorough in
vestgation, aud the conclusion reached was
that Herring was solely responsible for the
disappearance of tho bonds. Messrs. Goodnll,
Wilson and other clerks attached to the oihce
wcro fully exonerated. The fact that Herring
had taken no precautiOn TO destroy the
records pertaining to tho bonds, which he could
easily have accomplished. created s"me sur
prise. Tho part of the story published yester'
day stating that tho safe had been riflcd OF
its entire contents, nothing being left but
empty pocketboolSs appears to have boon
derived entirely from imagination.
