With a beauty that earth may inherit,
Yet a loneliness caught from the skiesl

When summer comes over the hills;

As the sunlight that sparkles the rills.

She's only a dream of my heart;
But the fairest-the brightest creation,
That meeting-we never shall part
From a land where the flowers are death.

Where is whispered the he%art-uttered

valuable Adjunct to a Restaurant,

Henry Durand, of Charleston, S. c., has
q mocldng-bird that is known from jack
sonville to Boston. The bird is probably
the finest singer in the south. He is not
only a fine singer, but a valuable adjunct
to a restaurant. The bird seems to know
when the diaing-room is filed with human
tenants, and upon such occasions he will
open his mouth and initiate a spring
chicken. The imitation is perfect, and
unless some one happens to spy the bird
and point him out everybody will begin to
look about for the coop Of spring chickens.
The bird generally keeps III the imitation
until the cry of spring chicken so sharpens
the appetite of the tourists that they order
one. Ont of season n spring chicken
comes high, and when the tourist has paid
his bill and gone the bird is given a fresh
potato.-Chieago Tribune.

The sloth Not without ambition.

A sloth is in its way an interesting aEi-

marks. Take q snail, magnify him 10000
diameters, clap on him four legs with
three long curved claws on each, and
hang him head down among the branches
of u tree; then poke him up behind with a
sharp stick, and he will make about as
rapid progress as a sloth. OF course some

a Fact ABOUT Successful Songs.

An interesting fact about successful
songs may be noted, and that is, only sem
timental songs make any money. Humor-
NJ songs become very popular. They are
applauded in the theatre when a favorite
singer sings them, and are laughed at unre-
STRANGELY, but very few in the audience
ever think of buying copies of them. This
is peculiarly true of that description of hui
morous dirty known as'the topical song. 1t
may be explained that this is a song in
which the material of the different verses
is arranged to give point to a significant
phase which invariably forms the last line
of the verse. The performance practically
amounts to piggling with language, the eff
feet coming from the humorous and unex-
pected illustration which can be adduced
of the idea embodiedin the adopted phrase.
Given on the stage by an expert singer,
who enforces the points of the verses by
appropriate action n facial expression,
these songs are very effective. Sung in the
parlor by an ordinary vocalist and without
the effect which comes from the assembly
of a large number of people, these songs
almost invariably fall flat. In consequence
they are very seldom sung there, and the
music publishers who give them to the
world find the world ungrateful, much to
the publisher $ pecuniary grief. On the
other hand, a sentimental song may be
sungi in the home circle by ar inexperienced
singer with Very fair effect. Somehow OF
other the underlying sentiment survives
the most outrageous treatment. 1t has
better staying qualities than humor has.
The melodies are simple, the thoughts ex-
pressed find a welcome among all classes
of people, and the sheet music finds its
way to thousands of piano racks through
out the land; and so the publisher becomes
happy and affluent New York Mail and

An omelet Of golden Eers,

her memorial concert one morning in a

by a number of ladies who had directed
the concert, and an omelet was given her
to serve. On cutting it she found that she
really had before her the famous golden

pieces. A crust of cotton separated them

eaoer To find another victim To assuage

The visor with which General Logan has
met his Ohio enemies, with Haistead III
/ their front, and scattered them to the right
