He SAT DOwn.

We were running through South
Carolina when a great big giant Of a
fellow with a terrible eye and a voice
like a fog-hOrn boarded the train at a
small station. 1 think most of the
passengers sized him up as a chap
whom it would be dangerous to argue
with, but the giant wasn't satisfied
with that. He clustered at the con-
ductor, growled at the brakeman and
looked around as if seeking some one
to pick a fuss with. Everybody an
swered him civilly, and he had two or
three seats to himself, but the man who
wants a row can generally find some
pretext. About the center Of the car
a p~ale-looking chap about twenty-five
years old occupied a seat and was read
ing Il newspaper. After a time the
giant rubbed along to where the young
man sat and growled out
"Strangcr, what may be the first
cost Of such u hat as yours?"
The young man looked up with a
flash in his big blue eyes and then
turned to his paper without replying.
"IIey! Did you hear mel" roared

and lifted the hat off the young mans

The Wells In Sahara,

French enterprise is steadily perse'
vering in the work Of redeeming the
desert Of Sahara by means of artesian
wells. A large number Of wells have
been sunk along the northern border,
more than $50 in the province of Con,
santine alone, and the work is advanc-
ing into the interior. One Of the cur
ious phenomena which the digging of
these wells has brought to notice is
the existence of fish and crabs at great
depths. The learned engineer, NJ. JUS,
who for twenty years has directed the
work, AYERS that he once boiled and ate
aIcrab which had been drawn up from
a depth of $50 feet, and that, moreover,
it was of an excellent flavor.

.fPosthumous poem attributed to Edgar A.
Poe. This poem was not published until
many wears after Mr.. Poe's death. 1t Is
written in the style of his Raven" which
fact will be readily recognized by all admir-
ers of his poetry
From the throne of life eternal,
From the home of love supernal,
Where angel feet make music over all the
starry floor,
r. Mortals, I have come to meet you,
Come with words of peace to greet YOU,
And to tell you of the glory that is mine for
ermo
Once before l found a mortal
Waiting at the heavenly portal
Waiting but to catch some echo from that
ever opening door,
Then I seized his Quickcned being,
And through ali his inward seeming,
Caused my burning inspiration i'll a fiery
flood to pour.
Now l come more meckly human,
With the weak lirs of a woman
Touched with fire from off the altar, not
Will DuTllliip VI SoiS,
But in holy love ascending,
With her chaStencd being blending,
would fill your souls with music from the
bright celestial shore.
AS one heart yearns for another,
As a child turns to It's mother,
From the golden gates of glory turn to
the earth once more,
Where | drained the cup of sadness,
Where my soul was stung to madness,
And lifc's bitter banning pillows swept my
burdened being DER.
Here the harpies and the ravens,
Human vampires. sordid c%ravcns,
Preyed upon my soul and substance till l
writhed with anguish sore.
. Life and l seemed then mismated,
For l felt accused and fated,
Like a restless, wrathful spirit wandering on
the Stygian shore.
Tortured by a nameless yearning,
Like Il f~ros.-tire freezing, burning.
Did the purple pulsing life-tide through its
fevered channels pour.
Till the golden bowl" lifc's token
Into shining shreds was broken,
And my chafed and chatting spirit leaped from
out its prison door.
But while living, striving, dying,
Never did my soul cease crying,
eye who guide the fates and ~furies, give, oh
give me, l implore!
From the myriad hosts Of nations,
From the countless consultations,
One pure spirit that can love income hat l,
too, can adore"
Through this fervent aspiration,
Found my ~fainting soul salvation,
For from out its blackened fre-crypts didmy
quickened spirit soar;
And my beautiful ideal
Not too sanity to be real
Burst more brightly on my vision than the
fancy-formed Lenore.
Mid the surgirg seas she found me,
With the pillows breaking round me,
And my saddened sinking spirit in her arms
of love upbore.
Like a lone one weak and weary,
Wandering in the midnight dreary,
On her sinless, sanity bosom, brought meto
the heavenly shore.
Like the breath of blossoms blending,
Like the prayers of saint ascending,
Like the ~rainbow's seven-lined glory blend
our souls forevermore.
Earthly love and lust enslaved me,
But divinest love hath saved me,
And l know now first and only how to love
and to adore.
Oh my mortal friends and brothers,
We are each and all another's!
And the soul that gives most freely from its
Sc treasure hath the more.
Would you lose your life you lind IT.;
And in giving love, you bind it,.
Like an amulet of safety to your heart forev
ermore.
