The land of the Afternoon

An Ola man SITS In his garden chair
W atching the Sunlit western sky
Mat sees he ia the blue depth there
Where only the Isles of Memory lii?
There are princely towers and castles high,
There are gardens ftirer than human ken
Ihere are happy children thrOnging by,
Radiant women and stately men,
Singing with voices of sweet attune
The songs Of the Land OF the Afternoon
The old man watches form of cloud
That floats where the azure islands are
Ana he sees homestead gray and loved,
And hand that beckons him afar.
., check of roses and hair of gold!
q, eyes of heavens divnest blue!
Long have We lain in the graveyard mold
But love is infinite, love is true;
he Will find her-ycs-it must be soon.
They will meet in the Land of the fternoon
Is driving athwart its troubled face
The golden mist is a trailing shroud;
1t Is cold and break in the garden place
Inc old man smiles and droOpS his head
The thin hair blows from his wrinkled brow
The sunset radiance has appeared
Ger every wasted feature now:
One sigh eXhales like breath In June
he has found the Land OF the Afternoon.

[Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. ]

Here is a scientific explanation of the
difference between dipsomania and inebri-
ETY.: Dipsomaniacs are distinguished
from other cases by the maniacal impulse
to procure spirits, which at the time is an
Irresistible mania, filling every impulse
and thought of the mind. IN periodical
cases it begins after certain distinct in
terval, and grows rapidly up to
a certain point of intensity, then
dies away abruptly. In irregular
dipsomaniacs it appears and disappears
with the greatest irregularity, but is
marked by the same maniacal tendency
and impetuosity. These cases differ from
the inebriate in the intense longing for alco-
hol, and nothing else; while the inebriate
suffers from form of physical pain and
agony that calls for relief from any source,
no matter what; anything to quiet the irri-
table, agitated nerve-centers. The dipso-
maniacs are more clearly insane, and seem
to have crossed the border-ine of sanity i;
while the inebriate crosses and recrosses it
with confusing uncertainty.

rs 1t Likely

Several of the New York journals are
indulging in premature self-congratula-
tiOns over a story that Christine Nilsson
and Brignoli are to establish a school Of
music, or of singing, in that city. These
newspapers accept the tale as a fait &C
compli, and are shouting gayly over the
prospect. 1t is rather curious New York
has no school of music. SO-called teach
ers there are, and some of them merito-
rious, but for the most part the profession
is given over 10 charlatans and ignorant
people. One misguided old gentleman the
other day died there, leaving an endow-
ment of million or two for a school of
music He might have accomplished
world of good had he spent the money
while living Now the lively lawyers
have got hold of it, and two-thirds of the
estate has already disappeared.
But we must get back to Nilsson and
Brignol. Do the many editors know
either of these artists personally? Can any
one who has ever met the quick -tempeTed,
imperious Nilsson, or the fretful childish
Brignoli, imagine anything more broadly
farcical than such a partnership. There
would be a parrot of a time within
Yet again conceive Nilsson giving
singing lessons five or six hours a
day at So per hour, when she gets 81, 900
every night she appears. BrignOli we can
not picture in any other way than open
ing his mouth to sing, talk, and eat No
proposition more absurd than this Nilsson
and Brignoh partnership in teaching sing
ing has met us for a long while.
