ONLY AN INSECT.

On the crimson cloth of my study desk
lustrous moth poised statuesque;
OF a waxen mold were its light limbs shaped
And in scales of gold its body was draped;
While its luminous wings we're melted and
yeined
With silyery strings. or golden grained,
Through whose filmy maze, in tremulous fight
Danced quivering rays of the gladstone light
On the desk hard by taper burned,
Toward which the eye of the insect turned
In its dim little mind faint desire
Rose underlined for the beautiful fire
Lightly it spread each silken van
Then away il sped for moments span.
And vague delight lured on its course
With resistleSs might toward the central source
And it followed the spell through an eddyine
maze,
Till it staggered and fell in the seorchins blaze
Dazzled and stunned by the binding pain,
One moment it swooned, then rose again.
And again the fire drew it on with its charms
To a living pyre in its awful arms
And now it lies on the table here,
Before my eyes, shriyeled and sere
As sit and muse on its fiery fate.
What themes abstriise might mediate
For If only in my simple song
Could tell you the why of that little wrong
! could tell you more than the deepest page
OF saintliest lore or of wisest sage.
And the pangs that thrilled its tiny frame
AS its senses were filled with the deadly fame
riddle inclose that, living or dead,
in rhyme or in prose no seer has read.
. But a moth" you cry, is thing SO small p
All. yes but why should it suffer at all
Why should a sob for the vaguest smart
One moment throb through the tiniest heart?
Why in the whole wide universe
should a single soul feel that primal curse?
Not all the throes of mightiest mind,
Or the heaviest woes of human kind
Are of deeper weight in the riddle OF things
Than the insects fate with the mangled wings.

A Repentant Atheist Reoants.

PARIS, July 2Sth.-Leo Taxil had the
courage to present himself at the meeting
of the Free-thought Societies, convoked
last evening to consider his recantation,
but he had hardly entered the hall when
he was violently abused by the President,
who, in the course of his denunciation, ex-
claimed after having obtained 1900
adherents, after having created the great
anti-Clerical movement, you abjure it all,
and this at the supreme hour of the strug-
gle. This is more than infamy; it is
crime. 1t would have been better had you
killed the men than deceived them thus"
M. Leo Taxil, accused of having betrayed
his allies, replied that, on the contrary, as
long as he was of their opinion he held
frankly to them. When his views under
went change he candidly informed them
of the fact. This apology was, however,
of no avail The blood of the atheists was
up. The man who had organized their
societies, who had drawn up their anti
Christian textbooks, who, in short, had
been their champion, had actually dared
to leave them and to acknowledge the
error of his former ways. This was too
much for their feelings, and the hall rang
again with cries of traitor and coward
M. Leo Taxi went on to declare that he
was thoroughly disguised with the repub-
lie.
After another exciting scene the follow
ing motion was put to the vote and unani-
mously adopted Considering that Gabril
Jogand, called Leo Taxi, one of the found
ers of the anti-Clerical League, has abiured
all the principles which he defended, and
has betrayed free thought and his CO.
religionists, the members of the League
present at the meeting of the League, July
9th, without pronouncing on the motives
which have dictated his infamous conduct,
expel him from the anti-Clerical League as
traitor and renegade"
The President then ordered NJ. Leo Taxil
to withdraw, and he left the hall amid
furious denunciations from the entire as
sembly.-[LondonT Telegraph.

SIXTY FEET UNDER GRouND.-Some
white sand, No. shot and quantity of
lead slugs were brought to our office as a
memento of the extent of the alluvial de-
post between Shreveport and the Bossier
hills. During the process of boring the
artesian well on James Fosters place the
mementoes named were brought up from a
depth of sixty feet below the surface Il is
well known that less than century ago
the bottoms east of Shreveport now con-
verted into rich plantations, was vast lake
OF considerable depth. Some hunter
dropped his shot-pouch into the lake, and
successive floods have placed sixty feet of
alluvia over the spot. Time brings many
changes in its grand rounds, and to US of
the present day we view with curious
thought this strange unearthing of by-gone
days, and this undoubted evidence of the
former appearance and conditions of our
imperial Red River valley.-[Shrevepor

a SilYer-shod Horse.

Pittsburg correspondent of the Phila-
delphia NelgS says " A visitor to the
Westinghouse stables, in the East End sees
among an array of handsome blooded
horses one of peculiar beauty of color and
carriage. Casual notice is quickened into
close inspection when It is noticed that the
horse never moves. He is dead Though
liieless, he is perhaps the only horse in
America to-day which wears full set of
solid silver shoes. Mrs. George Westing-
house is the leader of East End fashionable
life. Her dresses are the costliest, her re-
ceptions the most brilliant, and her turnout
the finest in the city Her husband is said
to have settled an income of $150,00O per
year i'll pinmoney upon her. She is a lady
OF artistic taste, and year ago she decided
upon team of cream. colored horses, with
flowing, snowy names. Such horses are as
rare as they are beautiful, but Mrs. West
lnghuuse, nothing daunted set about to
procure them. -Four agents were employed
and for months the country was secured
and stables and stock farms were ran
sacked to find the silyer-tipped horses.
At last the team was turned over to their
delighted mistress. They cost but 50, 000
but the expense of getting them was enor-
nous. Mrs. Westinghouse, early in the
use of her new acquisition, became con-
cerned as to what she should do if one of
them should die. The agents who secured
the first pair were sent out to find third
They we're successful and the three beau
ties were soon on friendly terms. The
strangest part Of the story is, perhaps, that
what Mrs. Westinghouse feared, the death
of one of the original pair occurred but
two weeks after the third had been ac-
quired. So much had Mrs. Westinghouse
become attached to the horse that she Or
dered him sent to New York to a we'll
known taxidermist TO be stuffed. There he
was treated to silver shoes, and given as
near as possible a look of recognition, so
that when his mistress enters the stables
none appears more glad to see her than he
The horse is groomed, blanketed and at
tended as carefully as if alive, His bed is
always made, and his manager is always

Postomani, to deceive the king, told
him she was a princess whom the
rishi had found in the woods and had
brought up. The upshot was that the
king made love to the girl and they
were married by the holy sage She was
treated as the favorite queen, and was very
happy but one day, while standing by a
well, she turned giddy and fell into the
water and died. The rishi then appeared
before the king and begged him not to
give way to consuming grief assuring him
that the late queen was not of royal blood

TOO GOOD TO LIVE.

There never was O man so neat
As good old Mr.. Strouse;
He never failed to wipe his feet
When entering the house.
He always hung his coat and hat
Each on its proper peg,
And when upon chair he sat
He never crossed his leg.
A place he had for everything:
He put each thing away
His wife was happy in the spring.
For all ner work was play.
The good example that he set
His children followed, too,
And SO they neer were known to fret
AS other children do.
His boots he always polished bright
His coat he brushed with care,
And when he doffed his clothes at night,
He hung them on q chair.
And when he donned his night-cap white
The tassel hung before:
And he would lay awake at night
Lest dreaming, be might snore.
Oh, never was OF viii be one
Like Mr.. Strouse so neat
Bis loving wife just works for ftin
Her lie is bliss complete.

Origin of Opium.

According to the Bengal legend, there
once lived on the banks of the holy river
Hanga rishi, or sage, in whose hut, made
of palm leaves, there was mouse which
became favorite with the seer, and was
endowed by him with the gift of speech.
After a while the mouse, having been
frightened by cat, at its earnest solicitation
was changed by the rishi into cat then
alarmed by dogs, into dog; then into an
ape, then into bear, then into an ele-
plant, and finally, being discontinued with
its lot into beautiful maiden, to whom
the sage gave the name of " Pestomani," or
:" the poppy-seed lady" One day, while
tending her plants, the king approached
the rishi's cottage, and was invited to rest
and refresh himself by Postomani, who
offered him some delicious fruit.
The king, however, struck by the
girls great beauty, refused to eat until
she had told him her parentage.

DRESS PLAINLY on SuNpAY.-It /, taste.
1t would lessen the burden of many who
find it hard to maintain their places in So
ciety. 1t would lessen the temptation to
dress beyond the income. If every one
dressed plainly but neatly for church SER
vices, persons in moderate circumstances
and the poor would be more likely to at
tend. Moderation in dress would improve
the manners of the congregation by pre-
venting the wandering of the eyes and
thoughts. 1t would lessen on the part OF
the rich the temptations of vanity. 1t
would lessen on the part of the poor the
temptations of envy, uncharitableness and
discomfort. It would relieve our means OF
q serious pressure and leave more opportu-
mites Of doing good.-lNewark Call.
