THE LAND OF THE AFTERNOON.

t%%%H rAANQ VI 1nE ArIEhNUUN
An old man sits In his garden chair,
Watching the sunlit western sky;
What sees he In the blue depth there,
#Whcre only the Isles of Memory lieY
fhereare princely towers and castles high
There are gardens fairer than human ken,
There are happy children thronglng by,
Radiant women and stately men,
Singing with voices OF sweet attune
The songs Of the Land of the Afternoon.
The old man watches form of cloud
That floats where the azure islands are,
And no sees q homestead gray and loved,
And a hand that beckons him afar.
q cheek Of roses and hair Of gold
p eyes Of heavens divinest blue
lnng have yelaIn in the graveyard mold
But love Is infinite, love Is true;
He will find her--yes-it must be soon;
They will meet in the Land Of the Afternoon.
The sky has changed, and wreck of cloud
Is driving athwart its troubled face,
The golden mist is a trailing shroud,
1t is cold and bleak in the garden place.
The old man smiles and droops his head,
Thcthin hair blows from his wrinkIed brow,
The sunset radiance has appeared
Der every wasted feature now;
One sigh cxhales like breath in June
He has found the Land of the Afternoon.

A few moments after tlIoy parted the

purchase and was waiting for the bill,
when one Of the statesmen approached
him and said:

''But | SEQ the sleeve of tho Que you

Strength Of Gibraltar.

Until You set foot on Gibraltar YOU
can form no idea of its impregnability.
Very probably its real strength cannot
be seen from ship in the bay. Only
when you land do you fad that the sea
wall bristles with heavy guns and gfuans
beneath piles Of ball only as you ira
verse its flank do you see how fosmida-
bic broech-loaders peep from every avail
able chink, and powerful mortars Turk
behind every convenient. embankment.
And not until you penetrate the body Of
the rock do you get any just notion Of
the marvellous piece Of military engin-
eerine exhibited in its galleries. These
are tunnels excavated from the solid rock,
parallel to It's outer side. but some thirty
feet thcrcfrom, and largo enough to drive
a carriage through. They are ia two
tiers, aud comprise a total length Of near
lythrce miles. At every thirty feet Ut
80 along them spacious embrasures are
out-hewn that terminate in commanding
portfolios. which look to spectator out
side the rock like swallows nest-holes in
the sand-ciff These embrasurcs contain
heavy guns, always standing ready for
action, with powder magazines hard by.
From the portfolios beautiful peeps of
OF the bay and the Spanish country are
obtained Out Of these, on the north
side, you look down upon q half-sandy,
half-grassy fiat, perhaps half mile long
and as wide or wider. connecting the
rock with the main land, and separating
the bay from the Mediterranean. Tive
lines of sentry boxes, one at the rock
end, the other at the distant end. mark
The boundaries of British and Spanish
land, and between these lines in the
neutral ground" The guns of the
quarried embrasures, and those hidden
cannon that stud the western and south
ern slopes of the rock. cover the neigh
boring Spanish land, the whole of the
bay and the straits, and the strengthen
ing work is ever going on by the fortiG-
cation of now points that from time to
time appear vulnerable. The eastern

A M0therless Babe,

A gentleman who has been travelling
on the Hudson river relates the follow
ing incident: IL noticed ssrious-look-
ing man, who was taking care of cry
ing baby, and doing everything he could
10 still its sobs. As the child became
restless in the berth, the gentleman took
it in bis arms and carried it to and fro
in the cabin. The sobs of the child
irritatcd man who was trying 10 read,
until he blurted out loud enough for the
father 10 hear: "What does he want TO
disturb the whole cabin with that baby
for = The man only nestled the baby
more quietly in his arms, without say
ing n word but the baby began crying
again. Where's the confounded mother
that sho don't stop its noise continued
the irritated grumblcr. At this the
father came up TO the man and said:
81 am sorry VIC disturb you, sir; but
my dear baby's mother is in her coffin
down in the baggage-room. TN taking
her back to Albany, where we used 10
live" The hard-hcarted man buried
his face in shame; but in moment,
wilted By the terrible rcbuke, he was by
the side of the grief-strickcn father help
ing him 10 tend the baby.

Uncle Esek's Wisdom.

Silence is hard opinion to beat.
No man is envious of what he can
equal or even initiate.
Most successes spring up, Phenix-
like from the ashes Of some failure.
Good breeding is letter Of credit,
all over tho world.
Next to silence comes breyity-tbe
wise mans strength aud the FOOLS refuge.
The most cunning of all cyclists is
the man who never speaks well Of him
self.
There is great deal Of modesty in
this world which will gaze ut almost any
thing provided it can be seen through
a crack.
A man Of true genius is generally as
simple as child, and as unconscious of
his power as an elephant.
The man who is always ready to take
chances will very probably take his last
in the aims house.
It is we'll to give heed to your doubts
for they are very often the dawning Of
truth.
Bigotry knows Of but one way to
roach heaven, while faith knows Of
hundred
Man is two legged eccentric animal
that deals in politics, religion and gen.
eral MERCHANDISE.
u requires wisdom to be able. and il
requires honesty % be willing, to call
things by thoir right names.
It morp difficult for a man to make
a circumstances than it is for q circam-
stance 70 a make man.

Sol MILLER prophesies that in No
vember "Blaine will carry every State
commonly known as Northern States,
from Maine to California, together
with Delaware, Virginia, West Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and
Florida, and will come so near carry
ing Maryland as to scare the democra-
cy out of four years growth, and will
make such inroads into the democrat
ic vote in Kentucky, Missouri, Texas
and Arkansas as will make the eyes
of the Bourbon mossbacks bug out"
He makes no prediction as to the resi-
due of the Southern States for no cleo
ton will be held there. "The demo.
cratic authorities will simply make a
return of votes to suit the necessities
of the occasion"

How Watch Cases are Made.

1t is a fact not generally known that the
james Boss Gold Watch Gases really con-
tain more pure gold than many solid"
gold cases The demand for these watch
eases has led to the manufacture of very
poor grade of solid gold watch cases
low in quality, and deficient in quantity.
These cases are made from 4 to 10 karats,
and D or karat case is often sold for IL
or II karats. 1t is NOT economy to buy a
watch case so poor in quality that it will
soon lose its color, or one so soft that it viii
lose its shape and fail to shut tight, thus
letting in dust and damaging the works, or
one SO thin that slight blow will break
the crystal, and perhaps the movement.
1t is economy to buy James Boss Gold
Watch Case, in which NONE of these things
ever occur. This watch case is not an eIperi-
ment-it has been made nearly thirty years.
