loves WILD IMAGINING.
BY z. W. GosSE.

To-day the winter woods are wet,
And chill with airs that miss the sun;
The autumn of the year is done,
It's leaves all fallen, its flower stars set,
It's frosty hours begun.
Should last years gold, narcissus yearn
For next years roses, oh how vain
No brief dead flowers arise again,
But each sweet little life in turn
Must shoot and bloom and wRne.
Sweet, had the years that slip so fast
Brought you too soon or me too late,
How had we CRASHED our teeth at fate,
And wandered down to death at last,
Forlorn, disconsolate!
Surely before the stars we're sure,
Before the moon was set in Heaven,
Your unborn soul to mine was given,
Your clear, white spirit, rare and pure,
For me was formed and shriven.
All surely no time ever was
When we were not, and our souls light
Made these cold places infinite
That lie between the years like glass,
Seen only in Gods light.
However it be. my one desire,
If chance has brought us face to face,
Or if the scheme of things found place
To store our twin hearts light and fire
In strange, foreseeing grace
Howe'er i. be, for us at least,
The woodland pathways are not dark,
New lights are on the boughs and bark,
And in the rainless, sun-shot east
We hear mountain lark.

BerIin's Parade-Ground.
From the United service.1

The Tempelhofer Plain is one of the
largest and best planned drill grounds in
the world. It includes the district be-
tween Berlin and the town of Tempelhof
on the south, distance of about mile
and half; on the east and west, between
the villages of Rexdorf and Schonberf,
once thriving hamlets, now transformed
into beautiful villas, the greatest dis
lance in this direction being about two
miles. The whole of the Berlin garrison
can manauvre with ease on this field. It
is historic and time honored rendezvous,
full of proud recollections for the Prus-
sian soldier. On this ground Frederick
the Great held his famous reviews, to
which he invited the flower of the armies
of Europe as spectators. At that time
the inspection partook more of the ma
ture OF our autumn manoeuvres, because
the distinction between drill and field
manoevres was not so sharply drawn as it
is now. Yet battles like Rosbach and
Leuthen necessitate many and compli-
Gated movements under fire, which must
be executed according to exact tactics.
Formerly tacticians soughtlevel ground,
now we take tine country as we find it,
drilling in different places, suiting the
movements to the locality. The great
king saw, with regret, that the winter
work ceased with inspection, and that
the troops were allowed too long vaca-
ton after it. Many commander went
into review with more foreboding and
anxiety than into battle. The far-see-
ing eye of the king reached the smallest
fault, his discipline was rigid, his severity
unrelenting. Many brilliantly begun
career came to hasty conclusion ON the
battle-ground, and the best generals, as
Seydletz and Zieten, incurred their pa
tron's displeasure by the commission of
a mere tactical blunder. He rewarded
proficiency in manmuvring as he would
gallantry in battle, by promotion to
higher grades and the bestowal of orders
of merit.

FASHIONABLE FANCIES.

KERCHIEFs of white, pale tinted and
black crepe de chine are much worn.
PLUSH is more fashionable as a lining
for wraps than for the outside.
COLLARS for morning wear are straight
bands of linen fastened in front with
small gold button or stud.
BREAKFAST caps for young ladies are
very fashionable. There is a jaunty,
coquettish appearance about this bit of
tinery that is very fascinating.
The circumference of the waist is yisi-
bly, contracting to set off the panier
drapery. When this cannot be done
satisfactorily the desired effect is gained
by padding the hips.
ALL trains, no matter how rich or
heavy, are lined with white crinolina
muslin, and protected and adorned with
balayeuse of lace and muslin, or lace
alone.
The monogram, etched in indelible
ink, and sometimes within a design or
pen-sketch of real artistic merit, is the
latest fashion for marking gentlemen's
and ladies' handkerchiefs.
ToQUEs and turbans, Rembrandt, Van
dyke, Rubens and Davonshire hats,
Fanchon, cottage, directory and poke
bonnets, are all fashionable, and all are
worn by fashionable women.
AFAsHIoNABLE modiste now advises her
customer to select handsome black gros-
grain, predicting that it will not long
hence be restored to the favor it lost
when lustrous satins became the fashion.
ANEW skirt is coming in favor in Paris,
JTo+1s nod
with huge niche of the material around
the bottom, it will be violent reaction
against the overturned skirts now uni
versally worn.
Two deep hounces, partly pleated and
partly gathered, with the edges in sharp
scallops, make a beautiful center for the
front of satin or velvet, or brocade
dresses, with panels from the sides falling
over upon these hounees.
LARGE pelisses are made of old fabrics,
resembling in color and design the very
ancient Bagdad shawls- tiny palm and
scroll patterns on black or red grounds.
The sleeves are in the pagoda style, and
they have plush bordering ten inches
deep.
The taste for embroidery as a dress
trimming increases. This is the open
Maderai- work done on the dress goods
and used as panels, borders or as scantily
gathered hounces. This is done on the
richest velvets, on satin, silk, cashmere
and nuns yelling.
THE bodices of wooden dresses are
sometimes ornamented with velvet collars
and cuffs embroidered liz gold. They
are called officers and projects collars,
and are high and straight about the
throat; and with them are worn double
ruches of yellow lace.
SAsHEs of every description are worn
by the million, from the very infant in
arms to the silver-haired matron of ma
ture years. In the latter case the sash
is draped low on the left side of the
skirt. This fashion is most conspicu-
GUS feature on some of the most elegant
imported costumes. In dresses design
ed for more youthful wearers, and where
the corsage is pointed behind, the broad
sash is set directly under it, giving the
back of tbs tournure the bouffant ap-
pearance now so much sought for.

IN these days when thieves SO often
break open unlocked safes to be reward
ed by the discovery of few nickles. it
is really refreshing to learn of one thief
whose labors in his chosen field have
met with g reward proportionate to his
exertions. Such case has just occur
red at Cincinnati, where a robber sue
ceeded in stealing doctors fine over
coat, and with it got irst-class case of
smallpox.

He slipped quietly in at the door, but
catching sight of an inquiring face over
the stair rail, said: "Sorry so late, my

tain that few hundred dollars which
belonged TO one of them passed into the

the clever and decidedly new method of

flowers in cemeteries had been Il promi-

around such institutions. the following

Sheriffs and Editors.

The sheriifs have just got through
holding 4 convention in Austin. and
have dispersed to their respective bail
iwicks. There are several points of re-
Semblanee between the sheriils and ed
itorS, one of which is. when they do
their full duty they are apt TO become
very unpopular. When the sheriff
puts bad man in Jail, and the editor
puts him in his psper, it is hard TO sav
at which of the two the aggrieved
party has the biggest spite. Sheriil's
do 4 great deal OF work without any
compensation except abuse. and so do
editors. 1t is the duty of the sheriff to
make himself disagreeable to all class
es of citizens. even to those of high
social standing. The journalist takes
them of in his paper in his own hap
py style, but the sher;I takes them of
to Huntsville. where the penitent.ary
is. While sheriffS help great MANY
people to get in, they also help them TO
get out-their purses, and pay up their
taxes.
There is \ very strong feeling Of
friendship between the editor and the
sheriff. The sheriff is moIc apt than
any other man to have an attachmen,
for the press. but also for the type and
other material. 1t the editor is worth
anything, and can be levied on, the
sheriff is apt to have IN attachment for
him. too. But what is the use of a
sheriff having an attachment for an ed

1t is very hard To sell an editor? Yes,
