A Leaf


Somebody said. in the crowd, last eve,
That you were married, or soon to be.
have not thought Of you believe,
Since last we parted. Let me see:
Five long summers have passed since then
Each has been pleasant in its own way
And you are but one of dozen men
Who have played the suitor a summer day.
But, nevertheless, when heard your name.
Coupled with some ones not my own,
There burned in my bosom sudden flame,
That carried me back to the day that is flown.
j WAS sitting again by the laughing brook,
With you mt my feet, and the sky above,
And my heart was fiuttering under your look
The unmistakable look of love.
Again your breath. like a south wind, famed
My check where the bushes came and went;
And the tender clasp of your strong, warm hand
Sudden thrills through my pulses sent
Again you are mine by loves own right
Mine forever by loves decree:
So for moment it seemed last night,
When somebody mentioned your name to me.
Just for a moment thought you mine
Loving me, woong, as of old.
The tale remembered seemed half divine
Though held it lightly enough, when told.
The past seemed fairer than when it was near,
AS BLESSINGS brighten when taking fight;"
And just for the moment held you dear
When somebody mentioned your name last
night.

Goustiuation.

IfaIl's Journal of Health thinks it is
doubtful if consumption numbers as
many victims as are stricken down by
the various diseases that result from
habitual constipation. True consump-
tion is an inherited disease. 1t may
remain always dormant, but when
aroused to action, decay commences at
Z; point circumscribed, and gradually
cXtends-unless arreSted-until so much
of the lungs become involved that vital
action ceases. The evils of consump-
ton result from inattention to the calls
of nature, and usually commence with
children whose habits are not closely
looked TO by their parents.
The processes of nature are always
active while life lasts. When effete
matter is retained moment beyond
the time its expulsion is demanded, the
system commences its efforts to get rid
of it. When the natural egress is
checked, the absorbents carry the more
fluid portions of the poisonous mass in
to the circulation, and it becomes diff
fused throughout the body. The more
solid or claylike portions are forced into
the lower rectum, where it becomes
firmly impacted, thus cutting off the cir
culation in the small blood vessels,
causing painful ingorgements known
as piles and hemorrhoids. A cOntinu-
ance of these troubles often results in
fissure, fistula. OF cancer. The troubles
seldom confined here As result of
the blood poisoning we almost'invaria-
bly, find more OF less dyspepsia, with de-
cded arrangement of the functions of
the heart, liver, and kidneys, accom-
panied by headache and nervous debili-
ty, often verging on paralysis. ei

The Su1t.an.


The Sultan is fond of music, and not
long ago sent for an Italian opera
company to perform at the palace. AS
he left the concert room he had to pass
between two long rows of officials and
dignitaries in the ante-room, among
whom stood Hodo Bey, the director OF
the imperial conscience, as well as
other secondary spiritual advisers. who
all wore very black looks. The Sultan
stopped to inquire how they had been
pleased with the entertainments, and
was answered by a solemn and Ominous
silence. ''On, my padishah," broke
out at last the chief. s.what hast thou
done in having recourse to those Frank
ish amusements, and bringing these
Giaour singers into your sacred pres
ence? Hast thou forgotten how Ismail
worked confusion in Islam and brought
ruin on himself by his addiction to the
ways and follies of the Franks! How
your majesty condemned him; how we
all Judged him and pronounced him
unfit to retain the khedivateP This
thing you have done to-day will certain
ly get abroad. 1t will reach the ears of
Ismail, who will rejoice with great joy,
and publish it in his accurSed newspa-
pers, which have already caused your
majesty so much annoyance. The
Sultan saw he had made a mistake, and
instantly sent messengers to every
newspaper office in Pera, Galata and
Stamboul to prohibit any mention of the
oppca1t

Frash SLANG.

Quite lot of new slang has been
opened up for the fall trade. This is
nearly altogether family slang for the
use of ladies, and if they wish to be
abreast of the times they will take out
their pencils and tablets and note down
the specimens. ''Catouche" is 4 very
new word. and means nice, sweet, pleas
ant. Coffee, for instance, may be ca
touche; so may John Henry. or Eliza
Jane. When II girl is "llick," she is
knowing; when she is 'fency," she is
quite the reverse of knowing. If you
wish to convey to your hearts idol the
idea that YOU adore her transcendcnt
beauty, just tell her she is Oppressive"
"A Johnny boy'' is new variety of the
genus homo who knows how to dance
like an angel -supposing that angels
would so far forget themselves rs to
dance-who wears good clothes, and is
an idiot in every other respect. The
feminine equivalent of the johnny
boy'' is generally called ''Evangeline.'
If you disapprove of place or Il per-
son, OF party, you may either refer to
it as ''snidc,'' '.gummy." or 'toppy."
Excessive admiration wrecks itself upon
expressions in such CLOSES Us '.balmy,"
harmonious" ''gulitive." "Gulitive'
seems to mean a great many things. 1t
is n sort of non-committal word, which
can be used to fill up sentence or ex-
press doubtful opinion.-St Louis

Testing a Mares Speed.

Stranger said stage-driver, 'this
was how found out her speed: 1 was
driving along railroad track just as a
big load of hotel furniture started. The
freight car wouldn't hold it all, but they
managed to squeeze everything in ex-
cept a long bar mirror, which they tied
to the side of the car. The mare saw
her reflection in the glass and thought
it was another horse squirting for the
lead You couldn't have held her back
with steam windlass. She just laid
back her ears and snorted along like
twenty-inch she'll The passengers all
began to get excited. They rushed out
on the platforms and began to make
bets The conductor stood up on seat
and began to sell pools. The engineer
pulled the Unbelievable wide open and
tore along at ninety-five miles an hour.
Soon the mare was abreast of the cow
catcher. At San Bruno we had half a
mile the lead. Near the Six-Mile house
the train was SO much ahead of time
that it fell through an open draw and
everlastingly smashed up-seventy-twO
killed and 199 wounded. 1t was pretty
rough on the passengers, but then we
dislanced the train, bet yer life. About
a month after l sold the mare to her
present owner for $50, 900.

CHICAGO Hospitality,

Mr.. Wendell Phillips, says the Boston
Courier. in talking the other day upon
the truth and falsity of history, says:
"An amusing incident occurred to me
once, showing the way in which truth
may spoil good history. Years ago,
when l spoke at the opera-housc in Chi
cago upon slavery, the crowd became
very much excited and threw various
unsavory missiles at the stage and
speakers. Fortunately nobody was
hurt, or, so far as 1 remember, hit, but
the drop-curtain heavily streaked
and discolored so as to be fairly ruined.
Some time ago, l met a western man
who recalled the circumstance, and he
told me that the owner of the opera
house had, through all these years, kept
that curtain as a testimony against the
people, refusing to have it changed.
Now there, you see, was Il beautiful in
cident, and I thought of using it in one
of my lectures, but 1 very foolishly took
the precaution to inquire about the
truth of it, and 1 found that I'm reality
the curtain was replaced the very day
after it was spoiled!'
