THE TIDE

The west wind clears the morning,
The sea shines silvery gray;
The night was long, but fresh and strong,
Awakes the breezy day.
Like smoke that flies across the lift,
The clouds are faint and thin;
And near and far along the bar
The tide comes creeping in.
The dreams Of midnight showed me
A life of loneliness,
A stony shore that knew no more
The bright waves soft caress;
The morning broke, the vision fed,
With dawn new hopes begin;
IT," light is sweet and at my feet
The tide comes rolling in.
Over the bare, black boulders.
The ocean sweeps and swells
Oh, waters wide, ye come to hide
Dull stones and empty shels
hear the floods lift up their voice
With loud, triumphant din;
Sad dreams depart-rest, doubling heart,
The tide comes foaming In.
Sarah Doudney, in Good Words

Embarrassing Generosity.

A thing that surprises you greatly in
Mexico is that nearly every man you
meet makes you present of a residence.
He grasps your hand with ardent cor
diality when he leaves you, and says
"My house is yours; it stands Numero
tres Gale, and so on, ''and is at your
service" The next man tells you that
your house is at such and such a mum
Der, and he shall be angry if you do
not occupy it. AS neither of them has
enjoyed the honor Of your acquaintance
for more than five minutes, and both are
only casually introduced, this excessive
generosity is quite embarrassing.

Decline Of Thuggism.

The natives of India are clearly pro-
crossing, and the knowledge of science
IS taking the place of brute force. For
Pquy years the authorities have been en-
gagged il stamping out Thuggism, and
although there can be little doubt that
the terrible sect still ply their vocation
when an oppunitunity offers, the power
OF the organization has long been broken.
1t is not, however, altogether defunct.
and it seems that the remnants of the
band have called in science to their aid.
A short time since a Zemindar of the
Patiala state, coming TO Lahore in the
train, made the acquaintance of two
travellers, who ingratiated themselves in
his favor, and all three put up in the
sultan's serla at Lahore, and prevailed on
the zemindar to accept some sweetmeats
from them. On the Zemindar eating the
sweetmeats he became insensible, and on
recovering consciousness found his
friends had gone, taking with them all
his cash from his waist-bet At any
rate, it is satisfactory that the Thugs
have taken 10 rendering their victims
temporarily insensible instead of strang-
ling them outright. The drug used in
the sweetmeats must be one unknown in
the English pharmacopeia, for we are
unaware of any capable of producing in
stant and complete insensibility without
apparently bad after effects. The secret,
when discovered, may prove a valuable
one, for il would seem that such sweet
meats as these would prove a pleasant
substitute for chlorofom. London

Roger Hale had an idea. When he
had an idea he invariably put it into ex-
ecution. Was he not his own master?
His visit to Sardinia had been brief, and
gaining Rome by Civita- Vecchia, he was
meditating a return when the idea dawn,
ed upon him. A few hours of leisure
decided him to write to his relatives in
America. lie bought some postage
stamps at tObacconist's, which the
woman wrapped up in bit of news.
paper. Outside, in the shadow of a
temple wall, the artist removed the
paper, and consigned the stamps to his
vest pocket
"They will think I've died of cholera
long ago." he mused, in dutiful allusion
10 his anxious sisters. His quick eye
noted paragraph OH the bit of paper, in
which the queen expressed sorrow for
the misfortunes of Naples, the smiling
Parthenope, seated on her incompatible
bay.
II have it," exclaimed Roger Hale.
"The Siren Parthenope was there cast
ashore, and Neapolis was the city of
Campanla, built on the Sinus Carter. Z"
He took the next train southwark. A
votary at the shrine OF beauty, absorbed
in his art, the elusive ideal of perfection
now fitted before him on rainbow wings
toward the Vesuvian gulf. He had done
nothing. Parthenope should redeem his
years of idleness and live on canvas,
vision OF loyeiness, combining the
golden tones of Tatian, with the re-
dundant coloring of Rubens and the
charm of Hans Makart or Cabaual He
was called color mad by his fellow artists.
Roger Hale was a short and stout
man, with flowing beard, nose turning
up at the tip, and pair of hazel eyes,
seeing everything their owner wished to
discern, and further shaded by felt
hat, which had lost all shape in hard
usage, now serving as a pillow and
again protecting the owners head from
sun and rain. He took his chances as
they came, and life was as glorious to him
as To Ernest Renan. Hence the charm
