DO they edit in here ?"
The several occupants of the room looked
around and discovered young lady standing
in the doorway. She nodded slightly to the
horse reporter, and that gentleman returned
the salutaton with a placid mile-and.a-
half lfover-eight hurdles SMILE whose grandeur
of expanse would alone have made it notice
able.
you are right this time, madam, he said
This is the exact spot where the seething
brain of the trained journalist proceeds to
bubble, and the lances of Thought that pierce
with unerring aim the helmets of Wrong are
ever held in couchant poise by strong arm
ready to launch them forth at the slightest
signal of danger"
Papa doesn't know am up here, " said the
vision of loveliness. "But mamma does. The
very minute that told her 1 was going to see
an editor she said it was the best thing to do;
but when got right to the door Just thought
l should die"
"You don't appear to be in danger of imme-
diate dissolution, remarked the horse report
er.
"Oh, of course don't mean exactly that"
said the young lady. but l was awfully
nervous, you know; always was that way,
and when was little girl papa used to say
that to only way to govern me was by kind
ness"

the personal friend of Rarus. Would you
like to read the Hawkinsville Clarion or the
Cohoes Freeman p pointing to pile of ex-
changes.
mo, don't care about it, thank you" was
the reply. You editors must have q hard
time managing all the people who come up
here ?"
''There is a managing editor for that pur-
pose, said the horse reporter.
How nice And do all these gentlemen
edit?"
Yes"
"Tm going to be married next week" said
the young lady. "Ain't it funnyY"
quite ludicrous, no doubt, was the reply.
And 1 came up here" she continued, ito
see if you would put notice of the affair in
the paper. Will you do it?"
Certainly" answered the horse reporter.
Would you like to have it referred to as AN
other one of those delightful events in which
the happiness of a trusting love finds glad
fruition in welded bliss, or the marriage
bells rang out merriy last evening, telling to
the star-lit skies a joyful tale of loves final
triumph 2? Both those sentences are kept in
type, and you can have your choice"
Il rather like the last one best" said the
young lady. 1T is more tenderly beautiful,
and SO sweetly touching. Don't you think

"Yes, replied the horse reporter, there is
a sort of curfew will not ring to night tnge to
it that lays over the other one"
"Well, then, l will take that. And will an
editor be around TO write it up?"
Certainly"

WrestIing Camel

Wrestling matches between camels is au
amusement in which the Turks take great de-
light, although they sometimes get fine an
imal manned in the sport. Many gentlemen
keep them for no other purpose, and one per-
son in Smyrna kept twenty at one time for
the amusement of his wife, who had a fond
ness for the sport. The camels are trained
to wrestling when quite young they exhibit
great dexterity in throwing their antagonist
and seem to take much pleasure in the fray.
We had young one on board, only month
old, and, having been born under the flag
he was christened "Uncle Sam" One of the
Turks amused himself on the voyage making
a "pehlevan" of him, aud when he was six
weeks old he was more than match for his
teacher, using his legs, neck and mouth with
such dexterity, and exhibiting such wonderful
strength in so young thing, that he became
avery rough playmate, aud frequently hurt
the men on the deck by throwing himself on
them suddenly and knocking them down.
This feature seems to be natural to the camel,
for when two strange ones meet together
where there are any females they Immediate
ly have a wrestling match for the supremacy,
and the conquered one ever after acknowledg-
es his inferiority by not SO much rs daring to
look at a female. Unlike the amusement of
bull batting, this wrestling is a harmless pas
time, though the animals sometimes get their
legs broken or are stiff for some time after
with their bruises Wel-trained animals sell
dom injure each other being taught TO throw
their antagonist by getting his neck under
their fore leg (the right and then throwing
the whole weight of their body on him and
bringing him to the ground.-Lieut. Porter.

The following lines written many years since, arc
republished by request.l
OH have ye been there 2 'Tis q sweet lone spot,
Though the gay and thOughtless may love Il not,
Though It breathe too much Of holy repOsn
For hearts to love that ne'er felt earth's woes.
Yet to those whose spirits have bowed and striyen
Meath early woe till their hearts are riyen,
'ris a chosen spot, tits blessed retreat,
Where they oft turn aside, sweet visions to meet.
'Tis the buriai-place, chosen there on the hill,
To lay the hearts that are cold and still!
Aud around It is spread the l0yeliest scene
That e'er burst on the painters impassionod dream
There rises tho mountain, whose towering brow
Is bathed In the suns FIRST morning glow
Far down, ConneCticut's bright waters glide
Past our own dear village, New EngAnds pride.
o swcctly the river looks, glmmering through
The tall birch and naples waving bough,
And bright look our homes in the suns warm rays
And the village churchsp spire oertopping the trees
All, dearly love to stray there, alone
And commune, in fancy, with friends that are gone
BY faith look away to the spirit land,
Where they mingle, bright and blessed band
oh, go there, yc who have never been,
Steal away from the busy hauuts Of men
Yield up your hearts warm incense there
To the God Of Heaven IN fervent prayer.
And perhaps yen return to your quiet home
with brighter hopes Of the world to come
With the wish that when God shall call thee there,
To be laid in the place where ye make your prayer

Nips at them in the night. The blooms are dead,

Like oranges, and broods Of chickens go

Perchance of all the news of yesterday.

Takes quick nibble, then with swift bound

M aiarial Germs.

M. A. Laveran has found, in the
blood of patients suffering from mala-
rial poisoning, parasitic organisms,
very definite in form and most re-
markable in character; motionless,
cylindrical curved bodies, transparent
and of delicate outlines, curved at the
extremities; transparent spherical
for us provided with fine filaments in
rapid movement, which he believes to
be animalcules and spherical or ir-
regular bodies, which appeared to be
the "cadaveric" stage of these, all
marked with pigmentgranules. He
has also detected peculiar conditions
in the blood itself. During the year
that has passed since he first discov-
cred these elements, NJ. Lsveran has
examined the blood in 1872 patients
affected with various symptoms of
malarial disease, and has found the
organisms in $50 of them, and he has
convinced himself by DER and
repeated observations that they are
not found in the blood of persons suf-
fering from diseases that are not of
malarisl origin. In general, the
parasitic bodies were found in the
blood only at certain times, a little
before and at the moment of the
accession OF the fever and they rap
idly disappeared under the influence
of a quinine treatment. The addition
of a minute quantity of a dilute solu-
ton of sulphate of q~uinine to a drop
of blood sufficed to destroy the organ.

but only of the pleasure they can give
10 others. No adornment Of beauty
or learning, or accomplishments, goes
so far in its power to attract as the one
gift of sympathy. In all French his
tory, no woman had a stronger fascin-
alton for whoever came within her
reach than Madame Recamier. She
was called beautiful; but her portraits
prove that her beauty was not to be
compared with that of many less
charming women. And when every
attraction of person had long passed
away, and she was an old, old woman,
her sway over the hearts of Others was
as powerful as ever. What was her
secret?
1t was this one thing %,lely-her
genuine and unaffected interest in the
good and ill fortune of her friends.
Authors eamea and read her their books;
painters came to her with their pic
lures; statemen with their projects.
She, herself, wrote no books, painted
no pictures, had no projects. She was
sweet, simply and unconsciously, as a
rose is sweet. She really cared for
the happiness and success of others,
and they felt the genuineness of her
sympathy. 1t surrounded her with
an Immortal charm. Let any girl try
Madame Recamier's experiment. Let
her go into society thinking nothing
of the admiration she may win, but
everything of the happiness she a
confer. 1t matters little whether face
is beautiful or her toilet costly. Before
the end of three months she will be a
happy girl herself; for the world likes
sunshine and sympathy, and turns
to them as the flowers bask in the
sun in June.
