Felicity.


The cat sang on the back yard fence,
Whence all but she had fed;
seized my stock of commonsense
And flung it at her head;
flung my best habiamentS,
My chair, my feather-bed;
Yet still, with passion quite intense,
With strange contorted lineaments,
That cat sung on the backyard fence,
Whence all but she had fled
Isroke with strange Grandilo4uence,
In coaxing tones plead;
NV boots were sonc--my last defense
My Sunday hose had sped;
All things or petty or immense
Found Judgement on the shed.
The feline wondered much from whence
They came; hut STILL with grief intense
She sang upon the backyard tehce,
Whence all but she had lied.

Speaking Of silver says NJ. G. McClel
llnd in the Chicago Times, reminds me
OF little story heard a Richmond lady
tell my mother some time after the cap,
ture. She had quantity of valpables
and slowed them about in every conceiv'
able place for safety. Among cthe,
things she had huge solid silver fire
mans trumpet, which had been presented
TO her husband by the volunteer fire
brigade Of Richmond many years before
in recognition Of his service as thei,
chict This trumpet was forgotten in
the general hiding Of valuablcs, and the
Yankees were fairly in sight when she
discovered it resting ostcntatiously in the
middle of the center-t0ble in the pArlor.
She was loath TO lose it, knowing that
her husband valued It greatly, but where
to stow away the big thing sho could not
think. AT last she took it cut to an old
negro man who was very much attached
to her husband, explaining her dilemma,
and told him to take the thing away and
hide it. Long bcGnrc the end Of the
three days she gave the trumpet up 70!

Africa has 50 long been regarded as a
steady consumer Of imported cotton,
that the idea of her ever becoming a
producer, and entering the cotton mar
kct as rival to the United States would
doubtless appear to most people as I'M
possible as that the sCNnty and unprofta-
bic tea plantations Of Southern Russia
should one day surpa,s the finest growth
Of China. Yet this seeming cXtravagant
idea was gravely discussed years ago by
one Of the gcatcst living authoitics upon
all questions connected with Africa, and
pronounced perfectly feasible not only by
him but by several other competent
Judges. Strangely enough, recent events
in the northeast of the DARK Continent
seem to have shaped themselves on pug-
pose to favor the making Of this cXtraor-
dlnary experiment, which aim. at moth
ing less than the rcclaming Of the entire
Nubian Desert at one blow, and the turn
ing Of the whole extent OF thst vast re-
gion that lies between the Upper Nile
and the Red Sea into one gigantic cotton
plantation The scheme is undoubtedly
colossal one, but generation which
has constructed the SueA Canal and the
Mont Gents Tunnel, aud which is now
considering the feasibility of submersina
the entire western half Of the Sahara
Desert beneath the Atlantic, can hardly
venture to pronounce it impossible o'
even improbable. Brooklyn LNion.

Short History Of Candies.

Candlcsticks are mentioned in the
Bible, but there seems to BE no doubt
that these were mps for burning olive
oil rather than support, for which are
now called candle: Tue candles used
bv the Greeks and Romans were rude
torches made by dipping strings Of papy-
rus or ru,hcs into pitch, and aftcrwarl
coating them with wax. In Europe this
candle was in use during the middle ages,
the wick being of twisted tow. Often
these were very large and heavy. Among
the noorcr CLASSES candles were made by
soaking splints OF WOOL in fat or oil.
The use of these wood ,plintS is mention
cd in English history aboa. the begin
ming OF the foartccnth century. WoN
candles were also mlde durils this cen
tury, but they wcr. expensive and deem
cl Il great luxury. Soon after this
dippcd candle made from taliow was In

candles was Incorporated in London IL

Ic. ne See how ap Indian Of Sorth
America goes TO work to write.
Suppose wild Indian belonging to
the great clan whose members call them
selves the Turtles, makes rAid on n
village of huts and wigwams owned by
enemies belonging 70 the widespread
clan called the Bear clan. Suppose 1t
has taken the Turtles three days of hard
travel through forests and ovcr the hill to
reach the Bears By means of their
crafty spies they find that the brave men
Of the Bears are away hunting moose,
and that most Of tic squaws and pap
pooscs are either in the fields Of maize or
in the woods, where the berries are ripe,
and only few old men and women are
left behind to keep watch over some
ponies and oxen. Then the Turtles, each
clutching his bow, creep on the village
under cover Of the woods, and with Il
terrific yell rush at the wigwams, The
old people run into the bushes, frightened
almost to death, rs you can we'll imagine.
Then the Turtles gather up all the ponies
and oxen, drive thcm off, burn all the
wigwams they cHn, md hurry home
with the cattle Now these saw
agcs think they have done quite fine
thing in robbng their ncighbors Of their
cattle and pund@ing and burning their
homes a, does one great nation in
Europe when, like our Turtle chieftain,
badly counsclcl by wicked and ambitious
men, it lobs another Of a great province,
and forces the wrctchcd people who
dwell there to obey the laws of a nation
they dislike. And they wish to let
other Indians know what clever robbers
they have been. So the Turtle chief
chooses a piece of smooth, crcam-colorcd
brch,bark, chcws up little piece of
tobacco to serve rs ink, plucks twig of
soft wood for a pen, and with the tobacco
juice draws the following pictures:
First comes Il turtle, and it is a very
big turtle, because he thinks that he and
his clan arc very great pcrsonagcs indeed.
Then he draws rs many waving lines, to
rcrrcscnt bows, as there arc Indians in
his party, and perhaps the same number
Of Indians with topknots; his lines bend
forward TO show in what dircctron the
trail went. Following these, rising sur
stands for daybrcak, and three lines un
der it mean that three days went by il
going to the Bears. Next, he puts dowl
as many funny little pyramids as Their
were Bear wigwams, and draws them up
side down to show that they were dc
stroycd. After that lie draws, rs vel
as he can, wee, wee bear, very small, II
order to show his contempt for the Bears
Finally. he draws with the greatest car
rs many oxen and ponies as he has cap
turcd, because lie is chiefly proud of thl
part of his exploit and wishes all tn
world of the woods to know what a grca

"Yon wouldn't think q man could

who bought out coffin shop twenty-five
years ago and began to deal in old corks.
Eight years ago he went into The old bot

The policeman who said this took the
writer down Mulberry street, and few
blocks below Blocker stopped before a
rickcty old building, in front Of which
stood several barrels filed with bottles Of
all sizes. There were bottles empticd Of
Vino Vcrmouth, Piper Sec and Rhine
wine, Of Bass ale, clarct and stomach
bittcrs. Inside the shop were seen the
nccks of thousand bottles, pointed
toward the door like little howitzcrs.

were in rows on the floor. From the roof
hung dingy dcmijohns, covered with

It is a curious fact that, prejudlced as
we seem to be against the useful goat, in
spite of all its really admirable PROPER
ties, it has been from very carly times
popular in this country, on account OF a
virtue which is purely fictitious and fan
ciful. Antiquity has bcqueathcd to us
the legend that goats were exceptionally
wise in the matter of wholesome herbs,
that they were, in fact, the hcrbaIists
among quadrupeds and 'cunning in sim.
pies" Out of this grew the idea that
they were virtually physicians, that theil
presence among domestic animals wa:
beneficial, and that their odor, though
unpleasant to man, was wholesome tc
horses, cows, pigs, sheep, and the farm
yard generally. For this reason one sin
gle goat was often kept, and farmyori'
may still be found where Betty q

ingly, to an almost obsolete superstition
