THE DisAPPO1NTED.

There are songs enough for the hero,
Who dwells on the heights Of fame;
sing for the disappointed,
For those who missed their aim.
sing with a fearful cadence
For one who stands in the dark,
And knows that his last, best arrow
Has bounded hack from the mark.
sing for the breathless runner,
The eager, anxious soul,
Who falls with his strength exhausted
Almost in sight of the goal;
For the hearts that break in silence
With a sorrow all unknown;
For those who need companions,
Yet walk their why's alone.
There are songs enough for the lovers,
Who share loves tender pain;
sing for the one whose passion
Is given and in vain.
For those whose spirit comrades
Have missed them on the way,
sing with heart o'erflowing
This minor strain to-day.
And | know the solar system
Must somewhere keep in spa''
A prize for that spent runner
Who barely lost the race.
For the Plan would be imperfect
Unless it held some sphere
That paid for the toll and talent
And love that are wasted here.

The death of sea captain recently
was ascribed by medical authorities to
blood-poisoning, caused by his vessel
carrying a cargo of nitrate of soda. The
sailors were affected by what they called
rheumatism. The captain, being in tho
after-cabin, suffered the full force of the
evaporation Of the nitrate. 1t is said
that four captains in the employ of a
leading eastern shipping firm have died
within a few years from this same
cause.

Mr.. Ivan Levinstein, the president OF
the Manchester section of the Society of
Chemical Industry, calls attention to a
new substance which is extracted from
coal tar, and possesses sweetening prop
critics far stronger than the best cane or
beet-root sugar. The substance, he said,
seemed likely TO enter into daily con-
sumption. According to Mr.. Levinstein
one part of it will give very sweet taste
to 10, 600 parts of water, for it is $50
times sweeter than best sugar, and taken
in the quantities added to food as sweet
ening material, has no injurious effects
on the human system. Patients suffering
from diabetes have been treated for the
last few months in one of the principal
hospitals in Berlin with saccharin with
out feeling in the least inconvenienced
by its use. The use of saccharin would,
therefore, Mr.. Levinstein said, be not
merely a probable substitute for sugar,
but it might even be applied to medicinal
purposes where sugar was not permissi-
bic.

THE STARS SHINE our.

The stars shine out and gild the sky,
Softly the night winds breathe and sigh;
And, as the world fades from my sight
feel the presence of the night
Wrapped in its strange deep mystery.
Dark vapors rise-their fingers lie
Coldly upon my brow, but
Lift my startled gaze, and bright
The stars shine out.
Trust on, sad heart, nor question why
The shadows and the night draw nigh.
The mist of doubt will melt in light,
Gods face will put them all 30 flight
Till then, lookup, for still on high
The stars shine out.

A Novel Trade Custom.

IA novel commercial custom came to
my notice in Vera Cruz, Mexico" says a
traveller in that country to a Pittsburg
Dispatch reporter. II went into a to-
bacco shop to buy a cigar. Igot one for
five cents, which pleased me, and then
asked the price of box. / found that
if bought box would have to pay at
the rate of five and half cents apiece
They look upon our middle-men as rob
bsrs, and claim that we have no right, if
W can sell box of cigars for three dol
lars and half, TO charge five cents

Americans probably invest more money
in farming tools than any other people
By the census of 1880 the value of agri-
cultural implements made the previous
year was SOS, ,OOO Ten years is
long life to the average of farm tools, and
many are worthless after three or four
years use or rust. 1t is probable that the
entire amount invested in farm tools now
in use is nearly or quite 81, 900, 900, 900.
