him as follows:
IN. de Lesseps, 1 hear that you are
going to build a railway on the island of
Sweden, and I want to subscribe money

"But, my friend" said Lesseps, "you are
entirely mistaken. l am not going to

an island, but through an isthmus, and it
is not in Sweden Zen Suede) but at Suez."
The cOuntryman, nothing daunted, said ::
"WelI, don't care whether it is q canal
or a railway, or whether it is on an island
or an isthmus, or whether in Sweden or

AFTER THE WINTER.


After the Winter is passed and over
And Summer is seeking the swift-flown
Spring,
After the blossoms are blown on the
clover
Aud famed all day by the bees light
wing
What shall we do with the love that we
played at
Under the tremor of ballroom light,
When you, in your satin and pearls ar
rayed, at
Win reigned supreme, the queen of the
night?
Where shall we bury it, now that it's
ended?
A seasons too long for a love play to
live
a love that I knew well you never in
tended
A single wild throb of perfection to
give.
Oh, you and may but trife with pas
sion,
And sip not taste of its keen, strong
wine;
may but dream that 1 mold and fash
Your heart to beat with love like
mine
Love that is more than a sweet hours
dreaming
Oweth no place in world like ours
Where there is only wan, cold seeming,
Shamed by the warm, true blush of the
flowers.
And yeti love thee, as well thou know
est,
Although thy love was Winters play;
And my heart is with thee, wherever thou
goest,
Fen to the far dusk ends of the day.

Justice in the South Carolina Swamps.
The story was brought to the city the

ion" of a tide water coroner's jury in a
recent case. The local justice was sum
mOned in hot haste to organize jury Of
inquest in the case of Jupiter Horlbeck, a
colored man, who had attempted to ride
across a marsh and who fell from his mule
and was drowned. In the pockets of the
decedent was found an extremely antique
type of revolver, rusty, hammerless, and
altogether harmless. The jury of inquest
was composed of old rice-field hands, who
sat upon the body, figuratively speaking
for six hours. AS is usual, the jury couldn't
agree, and finally compromised on the fol
lowing verdict:
