COMPENSATION.

In that new world toward which our feet are
set,
Shall we find aught to make our hearts for
get
Earths homely joys and her bright hours of
bliss9
Has Heaven spell divine enough for this?
For who the pleasure of the spring shall tell,
When on the leaness stalk the brown buds
swell,
When the grass brightens and the days grow
long,
And little birds break out in rippling song7
0 sweet the dropping eve, the blush of morn,
The starlit sky, the rustling fields of corn,
The soft airs blowing from the freshening
seas,
The sunflecked shadow of the stately trees,
The mellow thunder and the lulling rain,
The warm, delicious, happy summer rain,
When the grass brightens and the days grow
long,
And little birds break out in ripping songi
o beauty manifold, from morn till night,
Dawn's flush, noon's blaze and sunsets tender
lightl
o fair, familiar features changes sweet
OF her revolving seasons, storm and sleet
And golden calm, as slow she wheels through
space,
From snow to roses,-and how dear her face.
When the grass brighteps, when the days
grow long,
And little birds break out in ripping songl
o happy earth! Ohome so well belovedl
What recompense have we, from thee re-
moved9
One hope we have that overtops the whole
The hope of finding every vanished soul,
We love and long for daily, and for this
Gladly we turn from thee, and all thy bliss,
Even at thy loveliest, when the days are long,
And little birds break out in ripping song.

A writer in the American Missionary
undertakes to prove that the Indians, in
stead of tending toward dying out, are
as numerous in this country as they were
in the days of Christopher Columbus.
doubled in number. Among the Sioux
of Dakota there are more births than
deaths, and so among many other tribes,
according to his showing. The inference
of this writer is that the Indians are an
important race, as regards missionary
effort, and that they are quite as well
worth looking after as the Africans of the
Congo region, with the advantage of be-
ing more easily reached.

From the awful desolation Of the Llano Esta
cado
Ihave traced my red dominions with your
blood upon the sand;
You may see its current tinging through the
tawny Colorado,
Are you mad, that you imagine shall stay
my lifted handl
l defy you and I hate you'll Do you threaten
me with deathl
Me, whose fervid spirit surges with the cen
turies' hot breathl
Tu-n and ask this flaming desert--it has lain
forever so;
1t has scorched the helpless mesa with its
seething overflow;
Molten, pitiless, remorseless-ask it if I fear
to die
am one with this-immortal-and the
bloodshot suns of years
Burn within my soul, as ages they have
burned this alkali;
shall be again in the desert-what have
to do with fears9
You shall die and I shall clasp you to my
heart with hot embrace,
Whispering words of awful vengeance in
your pallid, speechless face.

YnnderhiIt's Vessel.

The story of the offer of the splendid
steamer Vanderbilt to the Government
during the war has often been told, but
not with the circumstances supplied by
Mr.. Crolfut in his history of the family.
The ship was nsc gift, but a loan, till
the war should be over; nevertheless,
when the war was over, instead of being
returned to her owner she was mustered
iSto the navy, and Congress voted MIR.
Vanderbilt a resolution of thanks and

been Made. The CongressionakComm

resolutions and the $25 medal had

the particulars of the theft and asked
them if that was the way a great aud
noble nation ought to conduct itself.
Some of them declared that they had
misunderstood, and wanted to return
the vessel. "No! deuce take Hgour i'm

Doubling Trouble.

As an evidence that troubles never
come singly the following is offered;
Donald Mckenzie, an employe in a
quarry at Limestone, Ont, was injured
by large stone, which, loosened by a
thaw, fell from an elevation and struck
him on the back Of the head, cutting it
badly. He fell forward with great force
upon some sharp stones, by which an
ugly cash was cut in his forehead. When
thus Frustrated the large stone rolled on
his left leg, breaking it below the knee.
The poor fellow also had one Of the tingefs

Crippled Crime.

The difficulty of preventing the escape
Of criminals has at all times grieved the
friends of justice, but the most radical
solution of the problem has probably
been devised in Gazi, a seaport town

the Sultan of Zanzibar According to

Passive resistance in Ireland has some
humor. At Ballysimon, near Limerick,
forIy-four head of cattle were advertised
to be sold for non-payment of rent. Pre-
ceded by two donkeys, decorated with
gay ribbons, the cattle were driven into
Limerick, followed by great crowd of
jolly, boisterous people. The auctioneer,
fearing the unmerciful guying of the
multitude, refused to perform his office.
The Sheriff was appealed to, and he also
declined. Had a seller been found it is
morally certain there would have been no
buyers. After vain attempt to get an
auctioneer the sale was abandoned, and
the cattle, preceded by their couriers and
followed by the rolicking rabble, were
driven back to the defaulting tenants.

The artist coughed violently and leo
the General to a leafy nook in which Ju-
piter stood. The General gave an ex-
preston of surprise. He saw fine statue
with wonderfully beautiful beard.
"The deuce" he exclaimed; ''that's
successm
is it not, Generals"
'"The governor will be wild with envy
He has not such masterwork in his
grounds; and, moreover, your Jupiter
resembles little the corporal of the sap
pers in the Zouaves"
X
The guests arrived Half an hour later
the festivities began. From time to
time the company strolled about through
the embowered walks, and, returning,
complimented the General upon his fine
statuary. Especially Jupiter seemed to
IN his hand and his magnificent beard.
The Governor, who was present, heard
the praise and wished to see the Jupiter.
The General fastened to accompany him
to view the masterpiece. The guests fol-
lowed them in troops. They were
charmed. All being acquainted with
the sapper corporal, they wondered at the
resemblance of the statue.
Suddenly the governor started.
"What is the matter" exclaimed the
General2
ooh, nothing" said the governor, cit
only seemed as if the head moved. It
was a mistake"
''No," exclaimed an officer. cit really
is moving. There it goes again"
1t was true Suddenly Jupiter drew
up his face; he appeared to make great
effort to control himself, but unsuccess-
fully, and then he began to sneeze With
all his might
The company was surprised. The
General was astounded.
Now the god began also to speak.
General, - said he, cit was decided
that should not move; neither was to
speak; but could not possibly prevent
myself from sneezing."
1t was really and truly the corporal,
who had been plastered over and CON
verted into statue.
The General became furious. He tore
down large branch Of a tree and rushed
ipitously after Jupiter, who descend
ed from his pedestal and fled through
the bushes, followed by shouts of laugh
ter from the whole company.
In the meantime the alarm reached the
ears of the other gods, who, getting thor
oughly frightened, took to their heels and
fled in dismay.
Just as the General had given up his
chase of Jupiter through the thicket, the
master of ceremonies and the servants
rushed out screaming: General, Ger
eral, the gods are running awayp
''Let them go to the deuce" was the
answer. They are false gods!" But to
himself he said:
'Now, 1 wonder no longer that he
didn't want to have any one touch
them"
The incident had so enlivened the
guests that the guilty parties were for
given. 1t was such festival as was nev-
er before celebrated in Algiers, and that
was enough for the General. So he par
doned his artist and also the false gods.

Seized by a Crocodile.

"The most dangerous Ayage foes we
have to fear" said Stanley, the explorer,
''are the crocodile, Aippopotamus and the
buffalo We lost f%e men during my last
visit to the Congo from these animals /;

There are large numbers of hippopotami
along the Congo and its tributaries, and
thousands upon thousands of crocodiles.
The latter are by far the most insidious
foes we have, because they are so silent
aud so swift.

said Mr.. Stanley, with one of his vivid
graphic touches; che is standing near
