The struggle is useless, the prayer is In

Love viii not die;
The rose Is long withered, but the thorn

The pleasure has turned to monotonous
pain
The smile to sigh.
What Ii love without hope? IT'S q mon

IT'S longing unspoken:
IT'S rose without scent-'tis q discord.-

From harp all anstrung; tits fostering

In a heart that is broken.
Go, love, I beseech thee; my heart is NJ,

For love without hope;
My soul, all dissolved, TO my eyes would
be welling,
MY heart with the grief Of thy presence is
swelling,
In darkness grope.
In my breast, at least, hope springs not
eternal,
Nor grants me one ray;
cherish no dreams Of life ever vernal
With hope and its kindred, and sunlight
supernal-
Hope has fed me for aye.

HOW 1 WAS SAVED.
Dedicated to Any One Who Thinks
Of Committing Suicide.

The wind moaned and shrieked
about the house till it seemed as If I
was beleaguered by q legion Of devils.
The branches of the old maple at the
window rustled against the glass,
moved by the invisible fingers Of the
wind, and now and then swept the
window with violence that made me
half start from the huge armchair
I occupied. The voices of the night |
mingling with the wind, Jared harsh
ly upon my nerves. Now and then I
drew my chair mechanically up to the |
stove and extended my benumbed
hands. The iron struck an addition
al chill to my shivering body. The
ashes within were dead and cold.
There had been no fire for weeks. II
crouched miserably down into the
depths of the chair and sought
warmth from the contact Of different
parts of my frame Then I forgot
the cold in contemplation Of the deed
that l must do. All, you who have
not felt it cannot realize the awful
sensations of the wretch who endeav-
ors to fortify himself against the COM
initial of q deed of darkness. Twice
I raised myself with a shudder and
grasped the long black object that
rested beside me. Twice / sank
back again with a moan and covered
Imy face with my hands. 81 can not
do it," muttered between my set
teeth. What right have I to imperil
my immortal souly hold it but in
trust and it will be demanded Of me.
But, o Heavens! must I die Of cold
and exposure? I arose and moved
with faltering steps to the door,
double locked it and stopped the
key hole securely. 1 tore the bed
clothes from the bed and hung them
about the wall to deaden the sound
and then with one inarticulate prayer
I again grasped the horrid black oh.
ject and-even then I could no,
nerve myself to do it. I hesitated
q moment and in that moment I was
saved! An inspiration came sudden
lily to me and I rushed out-out into

Anonymous Letter Writers.
Paris Mercury.


We have a picture of the furies
which represents all the wild, mean
and cruel passions that fill the hearts
of the most depraved. The heathen
makes the countenance of his evil
god to portray the feelings that they
think prompt him in his deyilish
work, and the Christian world points
to the snake-deceptive and venom
ous-as the primitive cause Of evil ;
but we doubt whether all these evil
ideas combined can furnish an ade-
quate thought Of the deprayity OF
the miserable wretch who writes
anonymous letters. It is cowardly,
sneaking and depraved. 1t breathes
the spirit of the assassin. It would
cast shade on virtue and steal the
good name of the dead. God may
in the great judgment day, admi
some of them into heaven on aecoun
of their ignorance, but we doubt it

The Horseshoe's Luck.

The Horseshee's Luck.
Now that the horseshoe, as pret-
ty symbol Of good luck, forms so
much a part of household decoration,
it may not be amiss TO say word
about its Significance in the olden
times. The horseshoe was anciently
believed to be a protection against
witchcraft end witches, who could
no more overcome the sanctity of its
semi-circular form than they could
the movement of stream which
even the most powerful could not
cross, If in the shape Of running
brook, as witnessed the race of Tam
O'Shanter, who. pursued by them,
passed the keystone of the bridge
himself, while the tail of his good
mare, on the wrong side thereof, be-
came the prey Of the pursuing war
locks. We have seen the horseshoe
nailed to the Intel of barns and masts
of vessels, for witch, mounted on
her broomstick, might take it into
her head to descend upon some un.
lucky craft, so she might call upon
the surging waves to engulf it, un-
less it were protected by this holy
symbol. For a horse to cast a shoe
was bad omen when a gallant
knight was about to start upon some
expedition hence, if a horse stum-
bled, which he would be sure to do
if imperfectly shod wos unlucky.
We do not, in our day, believe much
in witches or bad signs, but everybody
is pleased with the good luck implied
in the finding of horseshoe.

4 Musical Gander.

From the Popular science Monthiy.J
A live air ON violin will sometimes
set whole flock of geese wild with
delight. On one occasion, at
country wedding, there was curl
Gus performance. After dinner a
lady entertained the guests assem-
bled on the lawn with music from an
ACCORDION. A flock OF geese were
feeding in the road just below the
house, and with outstrethed pecks
answered back with loud notes of sat
isfaetion. Soon a white gander COM
menced dancing a lively jig, keeping
good time TO the music. For sever
al minutes he kept up the perform
anee to the great delight OF the cor
psny. The experience was tried ses-
Ierai times for q week or more, and
the tones of the ACCORDION nerer
failed TO set the old gander into
lively dance. A hobolink, placed i'm
"a cage with some canaries. exhibited
great delight at their songs. lie did
| not sing himself, but with peculiar
cluck could always SET the canaries
singing. After while he began to
learn their songs note by note, and in
the course of few weeks mastered
the entire song.

He Was q Blaine Nan.

1t seems to have escaped mention
from the Pacific slope that young
Spreckles, who shot De Young. in
San Francisco, was one OF Blaine's
most enthusiastic advocates at Chi
cago, and added materially to the
feeling there created that the man
from Maine was the republican of
prominence whose nomination would
insure success in the Rocky noun
tain country. Spreckles was alec
conspicuous figure on the train that
swept such sound and fury across
the continent bearing the Blaine del
egates, who shouted and fired cannon
and waved flags along the entire
route, The young sugar king ap-
peared on the platform Of k:s car at
every station and waved his flag, and
afterwards seized it when: Blaine's
nomination had been accomplished,
and walked up and down the aisles
Of the great convention hall, and even
up into the gallery, spreading en-
thusiam at every step. He is said to
be a young man of parts-too hot
tempered. but with a clear head on
business propositions, and doughty
champion when he starts out for q
man or cause.
