Cold, pulseless fragment of the long
through scooting years! Thy busted
snoot, awry, alnort, bemoiled with dust
of passing feet, thy fractured bugle
looming meath the twinkling stars, a
gloomy wreck of former grandeur tells
not OF what hath thee betid.
Across thy SCARED, cold breast no trou-
BILE rolls, and Ger thy brow yet frozen
in dumb agony bestraught, the swift and
sable clouds of night do struggle like an
aged, dying joke cast in the dust of an
cient amphitheater.
Little thou reckest, in thy broken
state, that thou art clothed with nothing
but the wailing wynd. Thy cold. hard
cheek is still unclothed with shame, tho
in the chilly air anight thy marble frag-
ments are exposed.
Who gazing at thy busted brow and
panic-stricken features now, would ere
surmise thy prowess in the days agonel
Who, looking DER thy mansard intellect
and cast-iron frame, knocked galley west
by times effacing fingers, ere would give
passing thought to what thou'st been
in previous years!
trow, not one of all mankind would
pick thee up to be the once proud
snoozer of the Roman ring.
Misguided relic of an era long years
past when men were muscled like
an aged hen, and when brave men
fought with cheese knives long and well,
or gouged the lions liver out and mixed
it with the sand, while beauteous ladies
smiled and munched the Roman cara
mel, he who would grudge thee pity now
in this thy hour of need, would rob a

which his teeth were filled.
Proud fragment of heroic days, in
dreams no doubt thou hvest on, and in
the amphitheater with Quiveriag blade
thou fghtest still.
Methinks see thee in the dusty ring,
straddling about and slashing right and
left, filling the air with toe-nails and
fresh gore. Again hear thy new laid
joke as up against the galleries the frag-
ments of thy foe are hurled.
Dream on, thou fractured warrior of
We oIden time, and reck not one cold,
careless clam that all thy limbs are
knocked into shapeless mass.
Forget the present in thy glorious past.
Live over still the days when in thy

The EYesight Of front.

In respect to that wonderful eyesight
which Walton says is "keener than the
hawks, in the first place, Walton was
not very experienced trout angler !;
and, though we love and revere him for
his kindly nature, there are matters in
his deductions and doctrines which we
have learned somewhat more of now
than were known two hundred years or
more ago. Most certainly a trout's eye
sight is not keener than hawks, nor
anything near as keen as a hawks. Ma
ture never meant it to be so, because
there was no necessity for it; and ma
ture always graduates the means to suit
the end. A hawk needs to see his prey
in grass or heather when lowering in the
air mile or more off. A trout needs to
see it some three or four feet or SO away,
and I am quite of opinion that trout's
sight is not nearly as keen as it has been
represented to be. It is true that if you
come suddenly between him and the
bare sky behind, at distance of say
twelve or fourteen yards, he will see you
instantly and cease rising, but increase
the distance to seventeen or eighteen
yards and he does not see you nearly as
well, and if you stoop, believe, not at
all. / think it is question entirely, in
that case, of the angle of refraction be-
tween the air and the water. In fact, l
believe this, that a trout can see You just
SO far as the angle of refraction enables
him to see you, and no farther, and this
will, of course, to an extent, be affected
by the depth of water he lies at. But
what induces me to doubt the sharpness
of his sight in this /: If stand with my
back to tree or hedge, so that I make
no distinct outline on the sky, and do
not otherwise attract attention, the trout
can not see me, and / can rise him easily
almost under my rod point; but if /
move three yards away from the tree or
busL I can not. Now, I think that
proves an eyesight much less keen than
hawks. Nature meant the fish to get
his living in the water and on the sur
face thereof, and constructed his eye
sight accordingly. She did not in her
scheme take into consideration the fact
that there might be rod fishers on the
river banks, and in another element,
who would be inimical to the fish, and
against whom it would be necessary to
provide fish with special powers of Wis
ion. No doubt a fish can see his enc
mics in the water as hawk could see
his in the air, and no doubt anglers have
educated the fish to an extent to beware
of them also; but it is to limited ex-
tent only, by reason of the difference of
element and by reason of anglers not
forming an item in the scheme of crea-
ton. London Field,

Public Opinion.

Men Of any character can not escape
the praise or blame of public opinion.
Every public deed invites judgment,
and it usually calls forth expression.
What we do or say, if it have vitality
beyond our own organism, goes before
the court of public opinion for trial.
Nature has so endowed us with con-
science that we are not Indifferent to the
character of the sentence. Only the
shameless depise the opinion of their
fellows. Public opinion is generally
correct-after time. We must give it
time to think. It will not, except it be
raised or lowered to frenzy, decide
hastily. The measure it makes and pre-
serves of man is not far from the cor
rect standard. Give man time and he
finds his level in the community. So
give public opinion few days in which
to get rid of the smoke and prejudice
of the present moment, and its conclu-
sion will not miss the mark of merit.
Especially is this true of the ability and
character of men. Precedents and +" old
facts may be changed by better ap-
probation of the right, and by wider
application of knowledge. But with
men it is not often so. The living gen.
Grafton seldom reverses the Judgment of
posterity touching the character of men.
By virtue of transcendent greatness OF
genius, some people, sooner than others,
gain exalted places in public opinion.
case the operation of public opinion was
swift. Immediately they we're placed in
the highest inches in the temple of fame
and honor. "And nothing can touch
them further" Every generous heart
stands guard over them. George Eliot
did not wait on the "slow processes of
the ages " before she took up her abode
with the immortals. Her work has al
ready received the undying stamp of
posterity. Her fame is secure. Jeering
critics can not reach her. Already
public opinion has placed upon her
works the seal of its Endorsement. Who
now would be brave enough to attempt
to pull her down Talmage is the only
one who has tried to deface the monu-
ment of her greatness. OF course he
| did the monument no harm, but if he be
not insensible, he must be very sore
from the cuffs which have been given
him by public opinion. Courts of
| justice do not formulate or dominate
public judgment now, as in the past.
Their acquittal is not any longer received
with favorable sanction, if it be not in
accord with the ideas of right and wrong
as held by people. Public opinion is
becoming impatient of the practice of
deciding cases by precedent. Il loses
confidence in the present court if the
court is not itself wise enough to make a
precedent. There are times, too, and
the world has reason to be grateful for
them, when man must stand up and
acquit himself, though public opinion
condemns him. When he is right, and
unjustly suffers in the public judgment,
posterity comes to his relief and reverses
the public decision. Indianapolis Her.
