Disappearance Accounted FOR.

A day or two ago the mysterious
disappearance of Michael McMormick !,
who resides over Eleventh street bridg ge
was mentioned in the REPUBLICAN.
AT that time his wife was in great dis
tress of mind at his unaccounable ab-
sence, and said she feared that he was
drowned or murdered. The mystery is
now explained by a telegram from
Philadelphia which stated that Thomas
has been having little spree in that
city, and after breaking a window was
lodged in the station house, from which
his wife has had him released,

LORD BEACONsFIELD,s IDEAL.
white pepper.

If he had been possessed by great
love of truth or of humanity, all might
have come right; he would have quickly
worked through his youthful cynicism
to something higher. But pride and
ambition, the pride of race and the pride
of genius, left no room for these senti-
ments. His intellect was skeptical.
His heart was somewhat cold. Before
him lay world in which fame and
power we're to be won by the gifts
which he knew himself to possess the
laurels OF others would not let him
sleep, and he threw all his soul into the
pursuit of fame and power.
1t was poor ideal. But he seems to
have thought it the only ideal, and
probably looked on those who strove
after some other as either fools or hypo-
critics. Early in his political life ne said
one day to one of the foremost of his
political opponents from whom the
present writer heard the anecdote). as
they took their umbrellas in the vesti-
bule of the House OF Commons CATER
all, what is it that brings you and me
here? Fame This is the true arena.
I might have occupied a literary throne.
But L have abandoned it for this career. ~

began to punch the bear, Ranse and L
standing ready to shoot ham II he
jumped off the beam and came out OF
the barn.
But he wouldn't leave his beam.
Back and forth he skulked from one end
of it to the other, growing and tearing
at Joe's pole.
He was big old fellow, but he did
not seem to have much fight In him.
At length we got so we were not at all
afraid of our game. Joe declared he
would have him off that beam if he had
to go up and push him off.
Ranse ran and got the clothes line.
We made a slip-noose at one end OF it.
Joe then set the long ladder against the
beam, and, while Ranse pushed the bear
on the other side with the pole, he
climbed part way up the ladder and
flung the moose over the animals head.
I had hold of the other end of the
rope and jerked it tight. The bear
reared up on the beam and clawed at
the moose. but couldn't get it off.
We all three caught and pulled. He
hung on to the beam for dear life, with
his nails, and then got his fore paws
round it.
"Heave-ho !" Ranse shouted.
We surged and jerked, but couldn't
start him.
The rope soon choked him, however,
so badly that his tongue stuck out, and
he toppled over to the under side of the
beam.
| But he still hung with his paws, and
for some time we couldn't break his
hold. At last, with tremendous jerk,
we forced him off, and he came down
into the middle of the floor with bump
that shook the whole barn. While he
was kicking round to get up, Joe struck
him on the head with the ak, and killed
him.
It was one of the largest bears that
had ever been seen III our ne1ghbor-
hood, and weighed as much as our heav-
lest hog.
We did not go to Woodstock that day.
and so lost the shooting match but, OF
the whole, I think we had more sport Al
home.
We concluded that the bear had beer
near the road where we left the steers
in one of the hemlocl clumps, perhaps
and that the smell of the fresh mea
had led him to climb into the cart t.
help himself.
Two or three of the turkeys wer
eaten, but otherwise the load was no
injured. Youths Companion.

Good Taste Among the Mighty.

The more I think about the elephants,
the more wonderful they seem to be.
The great, clumsy creatures are so very
knowing, SO very loving, and SO like hui
man beings in many of their qualities.
They know their power well, and they
also know just when they must not use
it. Deacon Green tells me that keepers
and trainers of elephants often lie down
On the ground and let the huge fellows
step right over them ; and that they feel
perfectly safe In doing so, because they
know the elephants will pick their way
carefully over the PROSTATE forms, never
SO much as touching them, still less
treading on them. Yet the mighty
creatures can brush man out of exist
ence asseasily as man can brush a fly
away. And what delicate tastes they
have delighted, I'm told, withsstraw-
berries. gum-drops, or any little dainty
of that kind! They are fond of bright
|. colors, too, and travellers tell wonderful
tales of seeing elephants gather flowers
with the greatest care, and smell them,
apparently with the keenest pleasure.
1t is true they eat the same flowers
afterward, but dear me /! I've seen girls
do the same thingl Many time I've
watched little lady pluck wild rose,
look at it moment, sigh, how love
ly!" then open her pretty lips and
(, swallow the petals one by one.

SHADOWS.

The moon light-hung world Of gold,
Low-drooping, pale and phantom-fair;
The fresh pomp of the summer leaves,
And fragrance in the breathing air.
Beneath the trees Eat silhouettes,
Mute idiot shapes that shun the light,
Weird crook-kneed things, ficke crew,
The restless children Of the night
In idle, vacant pantomime
They nod and nod forever more,
And clutch with aimless hutteripg hands,
With thin black hands, the leaf-strewn moor.
Quiverfng, wavering there forever,
On the bright and silent ground
Meshed and tangled there together
While the rolling earth goes round
And the gold-tinged airy ocean
Ripples light in many breeze
Der the sweet-breathed purple lilac,
Der the tall and slumbering trees.
But comes the dawn,
The spell is done;
Weird spirits fed
At rise OF sun.

ike a church; I like cowl;
love prophet of the soul;
And on my heart monastic aisles
Fall like sweet strains or pensive smiles;
Yet not for all his faith can see
Would that cowled churchman be. -
Why should the vest on him allure
Which could not on me endure?
Not from a vain and shallow thought -
His awful Jove young Phidias brought;
Never from the lips of cunning fell y
The thrilling Delphlc oracle;
Out from the heart of Nature rolled
The burdens of the Bible old;
The litanies of nations came d;
Like the volcanoes tongue of flame
Up from the burning core below
The canticle of love and woe;
The hand that rounded Peters dome,
And groined the ais!es of Christian Rome,
Wrought in a sad sincerity;
Himself from God he could not free;
He buIded better than he knew
The conscious stone to beauty grew.
Enow'st thou what woye yon wood-bird's nest
OF leaves and feathers from her breast?
Or how the fish outbuilt her shell,
Painting with morn each annual cell?
Or how the sacred pine-tree adds a..
To her leaves new myriads? 49,
Such and so grew these holy plies,
Whilst love and terror laid the tiles. -
Earth proudly wears the Parthenon -
AS the best gem upon her zone; 81
And morning opes with haste her lids, II.

Ger England's abbeys bends the sky,
AS ON its friends, with kindred eye; xzsH.-
For out of thoughts interior sphere ~
These wonders rose to upper air; -
And nature gladly gave them place 10
Adopted them into her race,
And granted them an equal date
With Andes and with Ararat. x
These temples grew as grows the grass,
Art might obey but not surpass. -
The passive master lent his hand
To the vast soul that DER him planned;
And the same power that reared the shrine
Bestrode the tribes that knelt within;
Ever the fiery Pentecost
Girds with one fame the countless host,
frances the heart through chanting choirs,
And through the priest the mind inspires.
The word unto the prophet spoken
Was writ on tables yet unbroken;
The word by seers or sibyls told, g7lY
In groves of oak or fanes Of gold, 80
Still floats upon the morning wind,
Still whispers to the willing mind. -

waving the red flag as though she had
been used to tagging trains all her life.
At that moment another remarkable
figure presented itself to the astonished
eyes of the passengers. A man, drip
ping wet, bruised and scratched, as
though he had been drawn through
briers. came tearing toward the cars,
stumbling and almost falling at every
step. AS he reached little Polly he
snatched her UP and covered her face
with kisses.
you little darling" he cried, "do
you know what you've done? You've
saved the lives of more than hundred
people"
Polly, nervous and excited, began to
cry. One after another the passengers
came hurrying out of the train and
crowded around her, praising and kissing
her, until she was quite ashamed and
hid her head upon the kind fagman's
shoulder, whispering, "Please take me
away and find mamma and papa"
Almost the last to alight were Polly's
parents. "Why, it's our Polly" they
both exclaimed at once.
The draw was now being closed again,
and the conductor cried, "All aboard !"
The passengers scrambled back to their
seats again. Polly's father took her into
the car with him, and now she looked
calmly at the people as they gathered
around, and answered politely all ques-
tons put to her, but refused the rings,
chains, bracelets and watches that the
grateful passengers pressed her to ac-
cept as tokens of their gratitude for saw
ing their lives.
At last Polly grew tired of SO much
praise, and spoke out: Really don't
deserve your thanks, for [ never once
thought of any one but papa and mamma.
So keep your presents for your own lit
tie girls. Thank you ali the same"
Those that heard her laughed, seeing
they could do nothing better for her than
to let her remain unnoticed for the short
distance she had to go.
When Polly was lifted out of the car,
and stood upon the steps of the station,
while her father looked after the lug
gage, the passengers threw kisses and
waved their handkerchiefs to her until
they were out of sight.
A few days afterward Polly was aston
ished at receiving beautiful ivory boz
containing an exquisitely enameled
medal, with these words engraved on it
presented to Polly Gardner, whose
courage and presence OF mind saved ;
hundred lives"
