THE LAND OF THE AFTERNOON.

TdG 1A0O OE Id1 AZ WIN
An old man sits in his garden chair,
Watching the sunlit western sky;
What sees be in the blue depths there,
Where only the Isles of Memory lie?
There are princely towers and castles high,
There are gardens fairer than human ken,
There are happy children thronging by,
Radent men and stately women,
Swinging with voices of sweet atune
The song Of the Land Of the Afternoon.
The old man watches a form of cloud
That noates where the azure islands are,
And he sees a homestead gray and loved,
And a hand that beckens him afar.
o, cheek Of roses and hair OF gold!
o, ewes of heavens divinest blue!
Long have ye lain In the graveyard mould
But love IL infinite, love Is true;
He will find her-yes, Ii must be soon;
They will meet in the Land of the Afternoon.
The sky has changed and q wreck Of cloud
Is driving sthwart its troubled face;
The golden mist is q trailing shroud,
II Is cold and bleak in the garden place.
The old man smiles and drops his head.
The thin hair blows from his wrinkled brow;
The sunset radience has appeared
O'er every asted feature now;
One sigh exhales like breath in June
He has found the Land of the Afternoon.

LOST AT SEA.

Twas pleasant day In June.
Dreamy jane.
When III nature seemed atune
With . wondrous melody.
The birds were singing in the trees
Sweetest songs.
And . gentle calm was on the sess,
That pleasant day in June.
A ship saiIed from the sands.
Proudly sailed
Far away to distant lands
With all on board.
Little he thinks of fear,
That captain brave.
As he silently dries tear
For the loved ones left behind.
But alas she has never returned,
That noble ship,
And her fate has not been learned
To this day. n. H. d.

possess its secrets are the high priests of its
strange temple. 1t has no house in London,
yet 1t is the one great power that governs the
English turf and gives racing rules to the world
At Newmarket it has "rooms" in the town and
on the course. "At least" says an esteemed
correspondent of mine who knows much as
most men about the turf, there is a room on
a very bad lunch is provided, and to which ad-
mission is in the highest degree exclusive"
Says my informant, For the most part the
club consists of great kings, dukes and lords

rne meteorite Not Found.

From the Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph Nov.6
There are still inquiries made regarding the
fall ofthe meteor in this vicinity some weeks ago.
Scientists have been very much interested, and
while some have come here personally to gain
some knowledge of It, others have written to
whoever here would be likely to know about 1t.
Prot. g. P. Langley has been unable to f1nd any
portion of it. He writes to Science the result
OF his investigations as follows: On tine aiter-
noon of Saturday, September u, al niue aIter

and circumstantial reports were subsequently

Washington ID. c. letter to Boston Traveller.
Quite a discussion is going ON among our
society bellies as to the best thing for the COM
plexiOn. One young lady, whose skin is a
marvel of purity, tells her friends that she uses
nothing but rain water upon her face, neck.
arms and hands. She ascribes her beautiful
complexion entirely to the rain water, with
plenty OF good Out-Of-dOor exercise. She has
her followers; but there is another lady, with
equally as fine skin, who laughs at the rain
water idea, and says she wipes her face with a
piece of fine flannel dipped in warm water,
morning and night, and, instead of drying with
a towel, she presses her skin to keep it soft
and plable This lady also prescribes out-of.
door exercise.
One thing is certain-neither of the prescrip-
tions can harm any one, which is more than
can be said of the toilet powders which some
ladies use SO disassrously. Some of them have
reached the stage so that they never go without

From the Baltimore American, to-day.
1t is generally believed by the police that Mr..
A. l.. Mellen is concealing himself in or near
this city. While there have been no develop.
ments nor any indications pointing to such a
conclusion, yet that seems to be the general
opinion, but 1t is quite probable that not half q
dozen persons know where he is. The question
Is asked how long he will remain out of the
reach of the police. A gentleman who has had
considerable experience in police cases asked
yesterday, If it be true that the Indictment is
defective. as claimed by Mr.. Mellen's counsel
and that it could be knocked sky.high why
does not Mr.. Mellen come out: When the requi-
sitiOn Is presented to the governor, his counsel
well knows that ne would have fair hearing
and ii The Indictment is not valid and true

Our Mary Won't Mary.


From the New York World.
When Miss Mary Anderson arrived here from
England she put up at the Buckingham, but she
has lately gone TO the Clarendon. Her bro Their
and step-father are there with her, but her
mother went to Louisville soon after she reached
New York. She was anxious to see her old
home after having been abroad so long. Miss
Anderson has been most persistently urged to
go out in society since she has been here, but
has with equal persistence declined almost
way. I saw her this week in company with Mrs.
Croly, "Jenny june" who is with her probably
as much as any other lady in town. This and
the fact that she is to be breakfls:ed by the SOro-
sis club would lead one to believe she finds the
socalled intellectual set of New York women
more cOngenial than the ultra fashionable and
the very rich. But as to going in society OF any
kind, she has very little time for it. On the
stage hard at work, as she is every night, and
hard study, there remains to her but n trifie of
time for any sort of recreation. In this cOnnec-
special fOndness for Mr.. Forbes Robertson her
leading man. He is a fine actor, q noble looking
and most attractive gentleman, but there is not
the shadow OF truth in this report. 1t is natural
OF course, to couple the name of SD beautiful and
successful q young woman as Miss Anderson
with the name of some manageable man, but
as u matter OF fact she has probably kept her
self as clear of all entanglements of this sort. if
entaneiements they may be called, as any cele-
brated young woman OF these times A gentle
man who has known her intimately for fifteen
years, tells me he believes she has not the re-
hottest idea of marrying ybOdy for the pre-
sent, and that the only man who ever got at all
into her heart is 4 son of q well known million
alre OF this city, who bears pretty foreign
name He is a handsome, compact athletic
young man of near thirty. He formed the ac-
qUaintance OF Miss Anderson in London, and
was most devOtedly attached to her for some
time, but his attentions came to ma ught, and it
Is understood he is now engaged to another
young lady. Miss Anderson is thoroughly
welded to her profession, and she very properly
thinks IL husband would be an impeachment to
success. She is now about twenty-cight years
old, and being sofamOus. so beautiful and so.
