LOVE N DEATH.

Life may hold sweetness yet would not diei

Then from my heart the weary years would

And I should greet him with a Joyous cry,
Forgiving and forgetting all the past,
Just for the sake of Love come. BACK az lasI'
Oh, life may yet be sweet; ! would not die.
Ctils Fate has not been kind to you and me;
Your baby kisses could not ease my paini
while in that other face | looked In vain
For signs OF what / knew could never be.
Often / drGw away your clnging grasp,
To seek again that cold and careless clasp.

Must labor on until Death brings relief,
And blOts out all the weariness and grief.

A MODERN FISH STORY.
The Fate ofa Hawk That Swallowed
an "7Ilfgator Gar.o
indianapolis Sentinel.

About two years ago an old White
river fisherman told the reporter of a
singular occurrence which the latter
has so far ~foro0rne 10 tell, except to a
confidential friend, lest nc might be
d seredited, and discredlt the papers
faithful accounts Of local Incidents.
But the frequency with which stories
OF fish and snakes and strange, freaks
Of nature far more remarkable than
this, are repeated by the papers with
cut any PREDATORY expression or in6I-
cations Of diStrust, encourages him to
hope that his modest and not extrava-
CANT, though certainly quiet story,
| will receive the credit it is entitled to.
Particularly since the general circula
ton of the San Francisco Examiners
account of g Swelling fish, that blew
up a crane at Goose creek the other
dav and still more recently, the late
county recorders story of the COW
that died on dynamite, as die any one
would expect she might in such a case.
AT the time alluded to the venerable
and veracious tshmerau wash fishing
ia the river below the mouth of Eagle
creek, on a gravely slope of the west
bank. A fish hawk swooped down
into the sycamore about a 100 yards
further down stream. The v. v. f..
saw nothing in his claws as he sailed
away, ahd supposed he had missed
S aim. Some minutes afterward he
saw the hawk tapping its wings
violently for a moment rise a little
way into the air and fail 10 q dutter-
ing, helpless way, like d bird MORALLY
shot; among the weeds on the bank.
Wondering at such an accident TO one
of the stronget>winged birds that flies,
he made his way through the weeds
and found it, with spread wings lying
on the grass. Partially covered by
the grass a a piece Of weed, he
thought, lying under or sticking in
the breast of the bird at the craw.
Lifting it with his foot, he saw a sharp,
spike nosed fish, very much like an
alligator gar projecting three or
four inches from the hawks merry
thought" IL was pretty nearly dead,
and he cut the bird open and cut the
fatal barer out. II was covered with
greenish scales, which made him
think it a piece Of weed, about eight
inches long, and as round in The body
as a gar" while the tip OF his nose
was as sharp as the point OF s. peggiDg-
awl and as hard, %wideaiug consider
ably towards the eyes. II had appor.
emily doubled up ia the birds craw,
and by pressing its tail against one
side had forced its spike out at the
side of the breast at the junction OF
the neck. Il vas the only fish Of the
kind the man ever saw or heard of,
uules it was a sort OF abnormal devel-
opment OF the gar pike" Not think
ing at the moment OF the scientific ino
terest Of the incident and its victim,
aud not caring 10 String the half
snake looking fish, the fisherman
threw 1t and the hawk into the water.

A Model Wife.
Detroit Free Press.

Jones vas well aware that his wifa
was in the habit of rifing his pockets
when he was asleep, but, like a wiss
man, he kept silence on the suhi.ct
One night, however, he awoke and
caught her in the act.
Hal" he exclaimed, what are vou
doing, my dear2"
The lady started, her cheek flushed
the pantaloons dropped from her CRASH
and she was about to make a full con.
fession when a bright idea entered her
head. Recovering her. composure she
said:
81 was looking to see whether yopr
pantaloons needed any buttons.n
They do, they do, my dear" he
exclaimed, springing from bed. need.
ed 'em for weeks, months, and [ won.
dered why you didn't sew EN- on but
/ waited, for l was sure you would set
to it some time. And how kind Of
you to get out of bed at this time of
the night to attend to 'em. Say what
you will, there's nothing III the world
like a good wife. Let me turn up the
gas a little, SOS you'll have ali the
light you want in sewing 'em on. Got
your needle and buttons? No. We'll,
tell me where they are and I'll get
'ea for you"
Mrs Jones proceeded to sew or the
buttons, while her husband sat on the
side of the bed and encouraged her
with words of praise for her wifelv
care and thought for his comfort, oc-
casionally remarking that 90 where
he would, he would always say there
was nothing in the world like a good
wife.
Then he went to the wardrobe and
brought out several pairs of trousers,
a coat, two or three old vests, and a
number of shirts, from all OF which
buttons were missing, and cheerfully
observed:
while we're att wen make a night
of it,
Two hours later, when Mrs. Jones,
with a sigh removed the thimble from
her finger, Mr.. Jones patted her on the
cheek and said:
81 say it again my dear, say it again
Hat wherever | go | viii make it
known, proclaim it from the houses
tops, shout it in the highways aud by
ways, that a wife who gets up in the
middle of tbs night 10 sew buttons on
her husbands clothes is a priceless
treasure, a crown to that husband, and
an ornament TO her sex"
Then Mr.. Jones, chuckling to him-
self, lay calmly down and slept the
sleep OF the just.

The Depths of Niagara.
Academy News,

The current OF Niagara river below
the falls ranges from tea miles an
hour to two miles a minute. So enorm-
Gus is the Volume of water rushing
through this gorge that Lake Ontario
must necessarily empty herself once
in every few days. The great depth
OF Nlagara's canon is almost beyond
conception. When the first railway
bridge was being constructed an at
tempt was made to fathom the river
directly below it, AT the first trial a
large tin pail filled with stones and
attached to a rope, was used; but it
proved a mere plaything for the rush
ing waters. a stronger rope was then
taken and a bar of railroad iron
fastened to it. This actually hoated,
owing to the fierce counter currents.
A few years ago the United States
Lake Survey took hold of the problem.
Using a heavy lead weight IL the form
of a plumb bob, attached to a strong
but small cord, they found the depth
just below the main fall to be 100 feet.
Some OF the party engaged in the
work were rendered deaf for several
days by the roar of the falls which
was so terrific that the lips even re-
fused TO open and utter a sound, Be-
low the falls the stream rapidly in
creases in depth, becoming 1873 feet in
front of the inclined railway. By
taking the width and velocity of the
stream intoconsideration it is possible
to compute lis depth which at some
places must be nearly 500 feet.
The depths of the whirlpool are
enormous and unknown. a cord one
thousand feet long was too short TO
reach the bottom.

The Use of SnnloMers.

This plant is a vigorous grower,
and has been extOlled as a preventive
of malaria diseases The seed afford
excellent food for hens and also for
horses. 1t is said that there is no
kind of feed that will keep horses in
health, giving them a sleek appearance
and making them lively and spirited
like the seeds Of the sunaower, feed
ing hall a pint night and morning
II is particularly recommended for
giving a horse power OF endurance,
being fed half q pint night and morn
nag with other feed. The stalks and
heads, after the seed is worked out,
also makes a good material for fires,
and are especially convenient IN sum
mer, when a quick fire is desired and
an enduring heat is not wanted. In
their growth taey make a SNOWY ap-
pearanee about dwelling and give aa
agreeable fragrance to the air. The
latest direction in the line OF utIllzi-
ton of the suulower is the planting
of a seed In a place at a PROPER dis
lance, so that the stalks as they grow
will serve IS bean poles, We have
seen them started in that way this
season, and as they grow the leaves
are removed, thus forming an excel.
lent stalk for the beans, but what the
effect will be upon them remains TO
be seen. TBe roots must tax the feed
ing capacity of the soil quite heavily.
