An Incident of the New York Liederkran
Bal Masque.
Letter in Boston Herald.
On the morning of the LederSranz ball, two
ladies, we'll known in society, beckoned young
man about town up to their coupe as it stood in
front of Tiffanys ''Where are YOU going to-
night!' one of them asked, "Oh, ont to dinner
and then think shall look in AT the Academy
May we look in with your said the readiest OF
these ladies, both of whom are young rich and
adorably pretty. Accordingly. proud in the con
seriousness of eScOrtng two of the bellies of New
York society to the Licdcrkranz ball, even
under the rose, the young man arrived at tho
Academy about midnight. The ladies were in
black satin dOminoes, and so closely masked
that their own mothers would not have known
them. Once there, they led their escort dan CO
for they he'd written notes to at least twenty
well-knoWn club men, making appointments
with each, and as they knew everybody and
everything about them, these missives We're
phrased in a manner calculated to pique the
curiosity. The notes were nothing, however,
to the little tete-a-tete conversations shat took
place at the ball Most of the men were as wild
with curiosity as Daricourt, when Lctitia Har-
dy bewitches him with her wit and poesy in
cognitia. who can she be-! was asked of each
The ladies fouted leased and made the most
personal and impertinent observations SO
much so, in fact, that their escort
was kept in mortal dread lest they
should get into some row. is
was the happiest hour of his life when he de-
pOSlltu iLGHi Ill tllclI carriage. 1ITee men lOl-
lowed them tc the door Of the vehicle and tried
to see if they could recognize the servants,
whose conventional lveries afforded no clew.
Good night Clarence" cried one charmer to ono
of these irrepressible gentlemen. IF | were
you, dear boy l wouldn't call on Mrs. x
again. She'll make it up with her husband ono
Of these days, and between you and me, dear
boy, she says that when you read Violet Fame
to her, your expression of countenance is too
ridiculous. Cut it, Clarence" Said the other
black satin domino: Farewell, Pierre FAREWELL
When you get tired of sending volets every
morning to Miss --, think Of me They are
my favorite flowers and do get oyer that bad
habit Of yours of becoming confidential with
every man in your club after dinner. 1t is all
very well for lovesick boy; but, Pierre You

o, thou ideal crowned with the Phrygan cap,
My country and the worlds, mans latest hope.

'O'ermatching olden masters of tie world
in all the varied walks of human life
More swift than Acibades in war;
Or souls be born to such high songs attuned
Shall raft the harp,strings with a truer touch
Than that blind bard whose hands swept DER the

With sucla strength and subtiety of touch
That their vibrations still are resonant
With sounds struck into life such ages back
That he who smote TIE wires is hid within
The shadows of the black Jehoshaphat
OF years. so that his lifeis wreathed with doubt;
Or yet, that born Of thee some time may live
a soul from ont whose moulding thoughts shall grow
A form more purely fair and stately grand
Than that white Pallas which, meath Phidias' hand
Awed Athens into worship by her look.
Why may st thou net be mother yet to sons

OF thought nor he nor all those brilliant minds
That wraugled in the old Atienan schools,
Nor he who wrote b. storied Ayon's side

Playing ON hearts of men, till thrilled their chords
With all the sounds within their gamut's scope.
O, mother capped with liberty, thy sons

A god,likc breed Of minds, like these enthroned
On high Olympus when the dawn of day

The purblud eyes just blinking from the dark
So weak within the light, that manly acts

There is no further hope for all the race
That in the early morning of the world

Thou country, refuge of the worlds oppressed
Of every race beneath Gods Lighting sun.
Their heads who tread thy sanctuaried soil

And their led feet be sandaled for the walk

Pure Gold of Life.

o! the wealth of life is the good it inparts,
And the blessing it gathers about it,
The strength it nstills into o'er-burdened hearts
That might sink overwhelmed without it.
What joy to the soul is the thought that we may
Breathe peace into some troubled spirit
And light up the darkness of some Swallowed way,
And lift up some sad heart and cheer it.
Then let avarice gather, and selfshly hold,
And hesrtlessy hoard up its treasure;
Sweet Charity's wealth is far better than gold,
Surprising all misery measure.
One heart pang removed, and one tear wiped away,
Would pull down the scale against millions
One good deed performed from the hearts loving
sway
Would fail of its price in quadrillions.
Next to charity holy, word is so fair
Nor shines with such heavenly beauty,
As that that makes life broad, generous care;
Would you know its clear titlel It's Duty.
From inner to outer from the heart to the hand
It moves in most beautiful fashion;
A blessing ncaruate it walks through the land;
A life from Christ-given passion.

A Vision of Death.

AS gently as the sunset-coler quits the mist,
painless parted and my corse dismissed;
And softly beautiful, as from the rose
It's odor parts pertaining as it goes,
hoated on the air, amove, unpent:
Though wingless, wheresoe'er 1 willed went.
My eyes were orbless l was vision ALL
And free forever from my senses thrall
passed through all material things, nor knew
touched them, nor they me, as I went through;
AS is the shadow in the sir that falls
From that which makes it to the distant walls
Ere it has reached thenl-so dwelt a form
And feeling only. living, blithe and warm.
was all feeling, pure and soft and sweet
As low wild music tone eolian- born,
Breathing itself away, for ears too fleet,
Upon the passionate breath of the young morn
had no thought, for it was but the fight
Of steps that led the soul up to the light.
All beauty seen to earth was but trace
Of the immortal charm pervading space;
And knowledge was not--save alone the Force
That was the simple wondrous universe.

Tie Bite of an EpiIeptic.

Surgical and Medical Reporter.
In England, recently, young man was bitten
in the hand by a woman who had fallen in an
epileptic fit. Three days afterward he died, and
the neighborhood became greatly excited over
the occurrence This case only tends 10 add ad-
ditional testimony to the fact that the public
love sensations. This death may have been
merely a coincidence or, again, a bite from any
person or any animal will occasionally or. we
should rather say, might occasionally, set up a
degree of Inflammation in an already depraved
or weakened constitution that might prove fatal
But to suppose that the bite Of an epileptic is
any more serious. simply because it is inflicted
by an epileptic than would be a similar wound
received from any other person, is certainly un-
reasonable, and not to be entertained in the
pathological light of to-day

The land of One Afternoon.

An old man sits i'll his garden chair,
Watching the sunlit western sky,
What sees he in the blue depth there
Where only the Isles of Memory lie'
There prircely towers and castles high
There gardens fairer than human ken
There are happy children thronging by,
Radiant women and stately men,
Singing with voices Of sweet attune
The songs of the Land of the Afternoon
The old man watches a form of cloud
That floats where the azure islands are
And he sees homestead gray and loved
And hand that beckons him afar.
o, cheek of roses and hair of gold
o, eyes of heavens divinest blue!
Long have yelau in the graveyard mold
But love is infinite love is true;
He will find her-yes-it must be soon;
They will meet III the Land of the Afternoon.
The sky has changed, and wreck of cloud
Is driving sthwart its troubled face
The golden mist is trailing shroud;
1t is cold and bleak in the garden place.
The cid man smiles and droops his head,
The thin hair blows from his wrinkled brow,
The sunset radiance has appeared
Der every wasted feature now;
One sigh eXhales like a breath in June
He has found the Land of the Afternoon.

A Dog with Two Lives.

Walton lGa.) News.
We have often heard it said that a cat has
nine lives, and before we reached our teens the
darkies made US believe it. 1t now turns up
that dog is not dead every time he is killed
During the sleet and snow, in January last near
Mr.. G. W. Smiths, in this county, gentleman
shot dog and gave him several severe ticks
with a hoe on the head. The dog, to all appear
ances, was as dead as he could possibly die, and
he was dragged off to prevent any disturbance
to the olfactories The dog was not seen foc six
days and as many nights, but on the seventh
night he came home, looking as poor as a snake
The next morning he wagged his TAIL and by
the look he gave his master, seemed to say:
I'm not dead yet"

My last centlet took sliplet
And left me hard aground.

There's damnlet in my mouthlet,
From Be-ersheba to Dan.
And the whylet Of my grieaet

And his footlet in his bootlet

That the strong may be sometimes the delicate too.
