HEREAFTER.
BY SUSAN cooLRIpGE.

When we are dead, when you and are dead,
Have sent and tossed aside each earthly fetter
And wiped the g ave-dust from our wondering
eyes,
And stand together: fronting the sunrise,
think that we shall know each other better
Puzzle and pain will lie behind us then;
All will be known and all will be forgiven;
We shall be glad of every hardin rs past;
And nor one earthly shadow shall be cast
To dim the brightness of the bright new
Heaven.
And I shall know. and you as well as l.
What was the hindering thing our whole lives
through,
Which kept me always shy, constrained, dis
tressed;
Why |. TO whom you were the first and best,
Could never, never be my best with you:
Why, loving you AS dearly as did,
And pricing you above all earthly good,
yet was cold and dull when yop were by,
And fatered in my speech or stunned your eye,
Unable quite to say the thing would;
Could never front you with the happy ease
OF those whose perfect trust has cast out fear,
Or take, content, from Love, its daily dole,
But longed to grasp and be and have the whole,
as blind men long TO see the deaf to hear
My dear Love, when forward look, and think
OF all toese battling barriers swept away,
Against which have beat so long and strained,
OF all the puzzle of the past explained,
l almost wish that could die to-day.

Democrats Lie Bernardo de- la Tore living
at Durango, made a singular discovery re-
Gently. In his kitchen, in the corner where
the water barrel stood, he noticed that the
floor sank in considerably. Not under
standing the motive for the sinking of the
floor, he had the barrel removed and exca-
vations made. A little distance down he
encountered great paving stone that, when
taken away, disclosed a shaft The mys-
FERROUS always binds strong chain, and it
did in this case. Ii drew Tore irrisstiblv
toward the shaft, and he determined to in
vestigate. He ordered Julian, his confiden-
tial servant, to lower himself into the shaft
Julian was afraid, and refused to go. Final
ly man volunteered, and with lantern in
his hand, was lowered with a rope to the bot
tom. At one side of the shaft he found an
old door of oak, worm eaten and Scared
with time. With the exertion of all his
strength the door slowly swung in, its rusty
hinges creaking as if in remonstrance to the
sacrilege. 1t was the entrance of CHASTITY
mausoleum. In the center of large room,
whose walls were damp and messy, was a
long table with the skeleton of an old man
stretched upon it, and an open book in an
cient Spanish lying close by. The discover
er fled from the room, and Mr.. Tore lost no
time in having the hole closed again with

The electors in doubt of their choice, consulted
Whose opinion they knew, was unbiased by party,

And most touching it was to observe land the

AN ESSAY BLUSH Nc.

H Touch of Nature Which Makes all WoDten
Kin
If there be one touch of nature that shows
all wOmanhood akin it is the blush which
greets proposal, says the Cincinnati En-
qsirer. Cynics may declare that the alarm
of modesty is but one among a score of
secret springs-but nobody heeds the cyuies.
Upon the other hand, indignant champions
of the sex point out that men are not em bar
raised in closing with business proposal,
and why, they ask, should girl bel We do
not know; the subject has not yet come with
in our purview. Some may fancy that in
the dim years of long ago, when blushing
was invented, this trial or test was appointed
by the judges of female merit as last ex-
ercise which guided their decision. If girl
does not blush her best then she stands out
of the competitions henceforward. The class
is only open to FLIES; widows have an exer-
else somewhat analogous in the gentle tear.
Damsels there are. however, who cannot
blush; we are bound to believe it, though
our own experience would emphaticallv
negative the assertion. The simplest formu-
Ia for testing one Of these exceptional cases
has been given by an expert Get possess

And long, sanctimonious faces

While the heart that is merry and cheerful

But yet have meier found the creature

4 chnc.e Baby's First share

Portland Oregouan. Wing, a Chi
nese merchant, last Monday entertained a
number of his brother merchants at costly
and elaborate banquet at the Hung Fang
Lun restaurant. The occasion OF this mag
nificent spread was the shaving of the head
Of the infant son Of the Ding Wing, who
was a month old yesterday. The average
white man has to wait until he is well along
in his teens before be has necessity for using
a razor, and he doesn't have any champagne
blow out on the occasion either. When a
Chinese boy is one month old his head is
shaved and bladder drawn over it and as
his head grows the bladder bursts and the
cue sprouts forth. The first shave is made
the occasion Of a banquet and the guests are
expected to make the host handsome present
in coin for the newly shaver baby, with which
a bank account is started to his credit. This
is the most pleasant feature of the affair for
the baby, as the razor always pulls and he
can not take part in the feast.

that the murrain ceased and the black witch
