A Reveric.

I sat in the old churchyard and gazed
around. Headstoncs and footstones
stood in great profus;on about the
shaft stood proudly guarding the last
resting place of some wealthy family.
Before me lay Il headstone that had
broken off, as if it. too, sought oblivion.
1t was moss-growE and old. Beneath
it was the dust of human being whose
race was run, whose lamp was out.
Perhaps, he had been old and neglect
ed, rs was the stone above him, and in
broken-heartcd silence he had gone
down, to rise again only at the great
resurrection day. Love and hate, Joy
and sorrow, had no more hold upon
him, but the clay, from which he had
come, embraced him again. Like the
humble monument above him, he had
been straight and strong, but at last he
broke down and decayed, and is now
forgotten. The life of man is but va
por-he lives, he dies, and that is all Of
earthly existence. A few years, per-
haps, lie is remembered by friends, but
they, too. must follow him, and thus
does all memory OF him perish except
the story which is told upon the head
stone, and that also passes away. This
is no new theme, but it is one well
worth moments study. Near by, a
little grave looks fresh and clean, an
aged woman, with quiet care, places
flowers upon it, though many years
have gone by since this child passed to
the other shore, the mothers heart still
beats for it, and hopes to meet it in the
happy days to come; her memory sees
the childish face full of glee or hears
the joyous prattle of the little tongue,
and the merry patter of tiny feet are
fresh in her mind. How sad the con-
trast--motherly care and friendloss
neglect. However, all must end in
dust, and some day the grave of the
child, and the grave of the man, will
be as one. Another day and another
race will know them not. t.--Arkansaw

CAInelS of the Desert,

The immense deserts which intervene
between Lower Egypt and the Soudan
provinces would be impossible in the
absence oi the camel. Nature has pro-
vided animals for aim ST all the con-
ditions of the earth's surface, from the
Arctic regions, inhabited by the walrus
and the seal, 10 the barren sands of
Africa that acorch beneath burning
sun. In the summer months, from early
March till the beginning of November,
the camel viii travel through the desert
with u load of four hundred pounds.
and require water every third day. 1t
will accordingly, complete ninety miles
without drinking on the road. This
would be a journey Of perfect ease. In
cases of necessity the same animal
would march 120 miles without much
suffering. and drink only in the even
ing of the fourth day: but in the cooler
months the camel will work for seven
or eight days without requiring water
During the cool season, in thc neigh
where green foliage is plentiful. the
Games that are simply grazing without
performing labor would drink only
once q fortnight. This powerful ami
NAL will travel easily upon level
ground with load of five hundred
pounds, but in mountainous districts
it should never exceed four hundred
pounds.
Although the desert appears devoid
of sustenance, there are numerous dells
and narrow valleys which show traces
Of water action, where the unusual
phenomena of thunder storms may
have suddenly deluged a considerable
area. In such localities scan;y herb
age is exhibited of SO rough a nature
that no animals except the camel, wild
ass, and the delicate gazcllo would
swallow the wiry material. but this
coarse pasturage is sufficient for the
caneFs wants, and enables it to tra-
verse inhospitable regions, which, with
out its aid, would be absolutely inn
passable by man.
The breeding of camels is one of the
chief occupations of the Arab tribes,
and the special varieties can easily be
distinguished by practiced eye. Those
Of the Haddendowas, which are bred
among the mountains bordering the
Red sea, are wonderfully nimble and
sure-footed; neither do they become
footsore when travelling upon rocky
ground. The camels Of the Bishareen
are small, but hardy, and are better
than the heavier and more powerful
animals for long desert journeys during
the summer months. -S,r Samuel Baker

Girl Wanted.

There is one thing Detroit lacks and
ought to have right away, aud that is
a missing girl. Chicago has one, St.
Louis two, Buffalo one, Cleveland two
or three, and even cities OF half our
size have their cases of "A Girl Myste-
rious]y Missing from Home" We have
had several close shavcs during the
last three months, but the mystery was
busted before the detectives could light
their pipes and form theory.
In one instance girl mysteriously
disappeared from her home on Beau
bien street. After the lapse of three
days her distracted parents went TO the
police, consulted the harbor master in
regard to dragging the river, and had
ABOUT decided to put on Grape. whom
the girl returned in company with a
husband who had a double chin and
weighed 210 pounds.
In another case High street girl,
having the usual attractive countenance
aad the usual reasons for being satis-
fled with her home, left the house one
night at dusk and did not return. Next
morning detectives We're put at work,
and they traced her to candy store
where she had bought gum-drops. and
to milliner's where she hal tried on
a SIG hat. There the trail ended rs
Suddenly as il the victim had been
swallowed up by the earth. But she
hadn't been half swallowed. Sne had
gone over to the house OF friend on
Montcalm street to see about making a
CRAZY quilt, and had volunteered to sit
up with sick child. While the de-
tectives were consulting state maps
and looking after two or three men
who had been heard to say that they
were dying to murder somebody, the
girl returned singing "Oniy Pansy
Blossom.
What we want is first-class myste-
rious disappearance on the part of a
good-looking girl with small feet, white
teeth, fashionably attired, q cute lisp.
and no objections to taking to the pine
woods to hide her trail. Detroit Free

Through currents which less brave men
would not undertake. He ventured to
an island just above the brink of Bridal
Veil Fails, and on its lower side found
good pay bar He would take
his little boat from the landing, shove
out into the strong current, and by
few dexterous strokes of his oar land

pick. shovel and rocker he would pass
the hours gathering gold and at eve
would pull his boat up stream and
reach the landing on shore. He became
noted for his pluck in tempting the

Two years ago Tom Bel was in his
boat taking Two ChiIamen across the
river above the falls. Whether he had
becomc careless from tempting the
waves SO often, or whether he lost or
broke an oar will never be known, but
one thing is certain, that he and all the
contents of the boat went over the falls

A resident of Carlisle, drawing nigh
90 years or age. In hts solemn mUrnenIs
often asked himself by what means it
might be made known to the world
that such man ever lived; and as ac-
cording to his own estimation if he ex-
cellod in anything it was as q poet, he
resolved to publish volume of his
manuscript poems, composed at va
rious periods during his eventful life.
Finding it cheaper TO get them print
ed at Glasgow, on his way he put tup at
the head inn in the Town of Ayr After
tea, and seated enjoying long pipe
with glass Of grog, several neighbors
dropped IN, who soon knew his busi-
ness affairs, and prevailed upon him to
read some of his compositions, which
were much applaudcd one after an
other.
A cynical remark, however, dropped
from one of the company. who remark
ed that he believed there was a poor
ploughboy in the town who could make
better poetry.

Tho challenge was clenched by bet

and wrote a little and rubbed his fore
head repeatedly, bet at last passed the
paper to Bobby {who was afterwards

remark that Pegasus would not fly.

Sir Arthur Wellesley, before he be-
came the Duke Of Wellington, married
a charming Irish lady catherine PAX
enham. They had been long attached
to each other. and the marriage took
place just after he had returned from
his brilliant career in India. During
his absence Of eleven years she never
once wrote to him, yet her affection
was constant.
When Lady Wellesley was presented
to Queen Charlotte, her Majesty said:
II am happy to see at my court SO
bright an example of constancy. But
did you really never write one letter to
Sir Arthur during his long absence?''
mo, never. your Majesty.''
'.And did you never think OF hime"
.Yes, your Majesty, very often.''
She was proud of her husbands rep
utation, but prouder Of tho fact that he
merited it. just before her death, she
was visited by friends who found her
lying on a sofa in \ room filed with
the magnificent presents Of cities, king
doms aud sovereigns. When the yisi-
tors gazed upon them with admiration,
the Duchess exclaimed, with weak
voice:
s'All tributes to merit! There's the
value! All pure, no corruption even!
That could not be said Of the Duke OF
Marlborough YoHta's Comparison.
