other way in the gulf region, in short, q

THE END.

There was time when Grief with me
Kept close and tireless company;
A new and most unwelcOme guest
He sat besides me day and night,
And robbed my pillow of It's rest
A nd spoiled the sunshine Of its light,
And diied the hours Of nigut and day
With an unspeakable dismay
could not part with Grief alas.
For he Ind taken up the ROOM

Was hid In an untimely tomb.

Aho DID her w1nsome ways repeat,
And torture me with all the sweet
Lost loneliness had possessed
Whereat, though 1t was but a dream.

PROF. DANA, OF YALE, DELIVERS AN INTER
EsTING LECTURE ON THE EARTHs ORIGIN.
Prof. ]. ID. Dana, the eminent geologist of
Yale, delivered the first OF his series OF lectures
on evolution, founded on the first chapter Of
Genesis, In Peabody museum, In New Haven,
last Saturday. He said:
"The only source Of Information of the crea-
ton which we have is this first chapter of Gen.

hours. But to narrow down days to such q
limit Is trivial. 1t is improbable that Moses,
who wrote Of God that thousand years in Thy

ton OF the creation, have meant days of twenty
four hours each. There is no reason to su oppose
tnat IN tne creation OF plants all plants were
brought into existence at once, but that there
was q growth here as in everything from
the lower to the higher order, which agrees
with science. The question is open whether
one form of matter can change into an
other form Of matter, but the evolution
Of matter into man is not possible. If by evo-

Alex. HamfliOn's Pamphlet.

From Benz Perley PORES Re collections.
Alexander Hamilton, when Secretary Of the
Treasury, had an indiscreet Irritation with the
wife of one of his clerks, who successfully black
mailed him. His political opponents heard OF
it and started rumor that he was specializing
in stocks through the clerk. When this came
to Hamilton's ears he published an account OF
the whole transaction in pamphlet, admitting
that he had been the dupe of a designing
woman and her rascally husband, but denying
that, while Secretary OF the Treasury, he had
specialized in stocks, baSing his operations on
his inside knowledge OF government finances,
In an appendix he published the letters OF his
fair friend, leaving uncorrected her queer blum
ders in spelling, as, for example, when she wrote
that she hoped soon ITO Sc her dear Col.

The publication Of this pamphlet gave Mrs.
Hamilton great sorrow, and when she came to
Washington to live in her old age she had pur-
chased Il considerable portion of the edition
from secondhand booksellers, paying them a
dollar tor each copy. All at once she began to
receive a dozen OF even more every week, and
it leaked out that a New York bookmOnger had
caused the reprinting of the pamphlet, thus
receiving dollar for what had cost him eight
