LOVE AND FAME.

Far from earth's strife.

FAIR AUTUMN

Aud sull she walks in golden hours
Through harvest happy farms.
And stili sue wears her fruits and flower.
Like jewels on her arms.
What mean the gladness OF the plain,
The Joy OF eve and morn,
The mirth that shakes the beard OF grain
And yellow locks OF corn2
She sees with clearer eye than ours
The good OF suffering born
The hearts that blossom like her fiowers
And ripcn like her corn.

SLY TRICK OF A LAZY HORSE.

Any one desirous of verifying the
following story need only to take
stand at the foot of Chardon street,
where the relief horses are stationed,
and watch Lady Knights maneuver-
ings. Lady Knight is veteran on
the relief corps of horses, having
served in that capacity eight or ten
years and it is quite evident that
during that time she has learned a
thing or two by observation, if in no
other way. Part of the day two
horses are kept FOR the purpose of
helping the cars up the hill, and they
alternate or are supposed to, in their
duties. But Lady knight is a sly
boots, and needs vigilant eye to see
that she doesn't cheat. When the
relief horse gets back to Bowdoin
square it is unhitched and goes back
to the foot of the hill, taking its place
next to the curbstone. Which indi-
Gates to the next car that the outside
horse is to help pull up the hill. So
accustomed have the horses become
to this routine that they seem to go
through it mechanically, and are
often left to go down alone and take
their places. Now this is one of Lady
Knights favorite tricks: When the
other horse comes down and stations
himself in his proper place, she walks
up just ahead of him, and then backs
herself in between Old Stupid and
the curbstone; the consequence is
Old Stupid sometimes pulls three or
four successive cars up the hill, and
would probably keep on pullingsfor
the rest of the day did not the attend
ant come to the rescue. The look Of
injured innocence which Lady knight
assumes when the man snakes her
out from next the curb and puts her
in her proper place is funny.-Bos
ton Journal.

it sounded as loud as church organ.

music-box kept up She's a Daisy
and the minister looked mad and
said amen and the people began to

told the deacon to hunt up the source
of that worldly music, and they took
pa into the room back of the pulpit

A FEARFUL VISITOR.

The bane of the beautiful island of
Martinique is a serpent called the
iron lance" This reptile, with ven.
omous taste, chooses the coolest and
most delightful places in the garden
Tor his retreat, and it is literally at
the risk Of ones life to lie down on
the grass, or even to take rest in an
arbor. The wounds inflicted by these
serpents are very apt to be fatal
unless Immediately cared for. The
whole island is infested with this
dangerous reptile, and it is said that
on an average nearly $40 persons are
bitten every year, of which number
from sixty to seventy cases prove
fatal, while many others result in
nervous diseases which are almost
as bad as death. A few years ago,
when Prince Arthur Of England
visited this island, a grand fete was
given in his honor in the Jardin des
Plantes. In the evening the grounds
were brilliantly illuminated, and
thousands of people sauntered
through its cool and shady avenues.
A large number were bitten by the
'iron lance,' and many Of them never
recovered from the effects Of the
poison. The fondness of this terrible
reptile for cool and shady places is
serious drawback on the pleasure of
rambling through the charming
groves Of Martinique. A rest on the
grass under the shadow of some
spreading tree is always haunted by
the dread of unseen dangers, and
one cannot even cross field without
exercising extreme caution.

are no longer attractions, and bearded
women are not worth their salt,
because SO many of them wear false
boards. Electrical people are all

boys are simply diseased negroes.
There is fellow named Patterson
in New York that can turn out more
artificial freaks of nature than would
fill every side-show and circus in the
country; but freak isn't of much
force if.it isn't real. Patterson can
make anything, from a stuffed mer-
maid or a section of a sea serpent to
a five-horned OK or a winged mule.
Speaking about Patterson and mules
reminds me that along just after the
war he got an order from one of the
Lipmans in Cincinnati to make ten
zebras out of mules. Lipman sent on
the mules and Patterson proceeded
to stencil them in black and cream
colored stripes. Patterson finished
the job in six weeks and got $500.
The artificial zebras were sent on and
advertised as feature in the street
parades of this circus. Everything
was lovely for eight or ten days, and
then rain storm washed the stripes
half out and made the brutes look 30
frightful that they had to be sent
back to Cincinnati. Patterson can
take an extraordinary COW and trans
form her into beast with four horns,
two of which are apparently growing
out of her eyes. The truth is, the
horns are glued over her eyes. The
horns are taken off at night, but the
COW generally becomes blind after
short time. He can set glass in the
middle of bnll's forehead or in his
hips so naturally that almost any one
would be deceived. I tell you that
Patterson is an artist said Mr..
Stone, in way that showed he meant
it.-Phila. Times.

1t is conclusively proved that the
safety Of the public can not be in
trusted to private enterprise in build
ing hotels and theaters, and it will be
a great public gain if some of the
original cost can be diverted from
flimsy extravaganza of decoration,
which increases the peril, to solid
fire-proof construction. There is not
tawdrily luxurious hotel in the

could compete with well furnished
