No MANS life, whether as to happiness
or usefulness, ever consisted in 1.-the
abundance of the things which he pos

His flesh, and experience confirms the truth
Of the teaching. To be at peace with God
and to do good in one's day and generation
is much better than merely to be rich

A TROPICAL TOWN.
The Quaintest, Queerest and Prettiest OF
West Indian Cities,

West Indian Cities.
We are ashore in st. Pierre, the
quaintest, queerest and the prettiest
withal among the West Indian Cities
all stone-built and stone-fagged, with
very narrow streets, wooden awnings,
iron balconies, and peaked roofs Of red
tile pierced by gabled dormers. Most
of the buildings are painted in clear
pale yellow tone, which contrasts de-
lightfully with the burning blue rib
bon Of tropical sky above; and no
street is absolutely level Nearly all
Of them climb hills, descend into hol-
lows, curve, twist, describe sudden and
amazing angles. There is everywhere
continuous chant of running water,
pouring through the deep cutters con-
trived between the paved thorough
fare and the absurd little side
walks varying in width from one
to three feet. The architecture is very
old; it is seventeenth-century prob
ably: and it reminds one a great deal
Of that characterizing the antiquated
French quarter of New Orleans. But
one must imagine New Orleans ideal
lied by artistic conception, made in
tensely tropical, and projected auda-
ciously upon the side of huge
volcanic hill. All the tints, the forms,
the vistas, would seem to have been
especially selected or designed for
aquarelle studies, just to please the
whim of some extravagant artist. No
ruin was ever more picturesque than
these living streets in their perfect
solidity and undilapidated quaintness.
The windows are frameless openings
without glass; some have iron bars; all
have heavy wooden shutters with
movable Stats, through which light
and air can enter as through Venetian
blinds. These are usually painted
green or bright bluish-gray. ay.-Lafcadio

VERY NATURAL HISTORY.
An Exceedingly Mew-ving Essay on the
Cat and Her Habits.

An Exceedingly Mew-ving Essay on the
Cat and Her Habits.
am going to write this article for
my own amusement and to fill up
space. My editor objects to natural
history anecdotes, but | feline know
more about the cat this week than
any thing else, SO am preparing this
item on purpose.
1t has been hinted in well-informed
circles that the cat is a quadruped,
because, forsooth, it has four feet, but
any such claim is four-feeted when we
remember that every yard contains
at least one cat at nights, and yard
is only three feet.
How cats originated is only known
to the promoters of the scheme, but
they are indigenous to roofs, back
fences and vacant lots, and command
considerable attention from the com
munity at large and small. 1t is be
lieved that the earlier settlers came
from Kamscatka, while other accounts
assert that Catalonia was their native
country. When you meet Catalonia
you might ask it.
Cats are omnivorous, carnivorous
gramnivorous and the rest Of the
ivorouses. They kill mice and rats,
and some people have seen Catskill
mountains, but this statement is as old
as the hills themselves.
Cats are Of two brands, the Tom and
the Tabby, and there used tabby a
third species called the ''cat-o'-nine-
tails" but this is being regularly used
up-at the penitentiary.
Although the cat is called do
mestic animal, it is not quite so useful as
a horse or a COW, but cattle furnish
more music than either Of the larger
quadrupeds. And its hearers get more
new sick, too.
The power that an average cat has
over the ordinary human being is re-
markable. | have known men to lie
awake at night and listen to the i'm
promptu duets Of Tom and Tabby,
listeu to the soul-stirring melody Of an
inspired nocturne, and, in the wildness
of their enthusiasm, lacking the pre-
scribed floral tribute to merit, throw to
the performers their bootjacks, boots
and even chamber crockery. | have
known men do this. | have seem
them do it. / have done it myself.
1t has been said, and truly, that a
cat has nine lives, and this is one pow
erful reason why insurance companies
can never be got to insure the life, or
lives, of pussy. If you ask them to do
so they will say it is impussyble.
''And yet, ''to what base uses may we
vet return?n A cat, when really dead
for the ninth and last time of asking,
is not only used for bass purposes but
for fiddles also, and it must bow to cir
cumstances.
1t would be violinsinuatiOn to say
that it did not do its duty as well in
death as in life, and if any one, familiar
with the midnight pleadings of fay
orite tomcat, should listen to the al
legged music of an amateur viOllnist
and not recognize the affinity between
their respective performances, that
man or woman is dead to the wonder
full condolences of ma ture.-IeraS Sitt

MORNING. NOON AND NIGHT.

Out of the depths Of the Unknown Deep.
Borne at the breast OF the crimson Morn,
Cometh from lonely. dreamless sleep
Blossoms of Hope, and life is born;
Beauteous buds are they whose birth
Sheddeth glory over earth.
Fragrant and fair is the morning arr,
Thrilling and sweet with the kiss of Spring;
Cloudless the skies and divinely rare
In strokes OF unrivaled penciling;
Glorious time! Maturity
Lieth far in Futurity
High over earth in eternal space,
Sitting through silent airs his rays
Shineth the sun. whose mighty face
Burneth to ashes Summer days;
Days that are filled with life and ligh'
Rich in perfumes Of blossoms bright.
Into the blue OF the summer sky
Drifteth little cloud; away
In the hazy depths Of the North sigh,
Hollow and sad floats upward: Stay!
o Hour that goeth all too soon;
Linger thou joy-inwoven Noon!
'Lengthen the chain in the day link.
o glorious Noon! that may lie,
Kissed by the beams O. 'er the frowning brink
OF Life's decline and with 'raptured eye
Feast on the sweets Of Manhood's prime,
Failing away from the scythe OF Timer
III.
LIE aden and chill are the autumn skies;
Drifteth the yellow leaves around;
Rseth the whistling wind and flies
Screaming afar with doleful sound;
Grantees the fields, and the dreary plain
Mingles its chill with the wintry rain.
Out of the glare of the roaring Day,
Into the bleacl1ess gloom OF Night,
Borne at the breast of pale Decay,
Blossomless buds OF Hope from sight
Slip to eternal calm and sweep
Out and beyond the Unknown Deep.

THE WAY 1T CAME.
by JAMES wnIrooMp RILEY.

l got 70 thinkin' of her-both her parents
And all her sisters married OF, aud none
but her and John
Alvin all alone there in that lonesome
sort o. way,
An him blame old bachelor, conflrmder
every day
I'd knowd 'em all from children, and their
daddy from the time
He settled In the neighborhood, and hadn't
airy dime
En- dollar, when he married, fer to start
housekeepin' oni-
SO got to thinkin' of her-both her parents
dead and gone!
l got to thinlxin' of her, and awundern
what she done
That all her sisters KEEP gittin married
one by one,
And her without no chances-and the best
girl Of the pack
An old maid, with her hands, you might say,
tied behind her back
And mother too, before she died, she ust
to jes' take on,
When none on em was left, you know, but
Eveline and John,
And 1es, declare to goodness AT the young
men must be bline
To see what a wife they'd git if they got
Eveline.
l got to thinkin' of her; in my great afilic-
ton she
Was SIGH comfort to us, aAd so kind and
neighborly-
She'd come and leave her homework, fer
TO hep out little Jane,
And talk of her own mother, at she'd never
see again
Mayby sometimes cry together-though, for
the most part, she
Would have the child 80 reconciled and
happy like at we
Felt lonesomer'n ever she'd put her bonnet
on
And say she'd rally haf to be a-gittin' back
to John!
got to thinkin' OF her, as 1 say-and more
and more
I'd think Of her dependence, and tho bur-
dens at she bore
Her parents both a-bein' dead, and all her
sisters gone
And married off, and her alvin there alone
with John
You might say ies' a-toihn' and a-slavin'
out her life
For a man at hadn't pride enough to git
hlsself wife
Less someone married Eveline, and packed
her on some dayi-
So got 10 thinkin of her-and IL happened
that away.

The MOrtgaged Firms.

The extent to which the western farm
ers have mortgaged their farms to eastern
capital will be pretty well disclosed by
the next census. Congressman Cox of
Sew York and Judge Holman Of Indi-
ana. have had their atteution attracted to
the sub ec5 during the tariff debate, and
the census bill was recommitted on Mr..
Cox motion, will view 10 providing for
an inquiry. An endment reporte by
Mr.. Cox rpropriates s so 900 FIR statis-
tics OF, and relating t., the recorded in
debtedness Of the PEG lie. Several meth
DDS o. procedure have Teen suggested for
getting figures, but the method most like
ly Of adoption is that of copying the
reCorts of county records, which will
show the original amount Of mortgages,
and in order to ascertain how much has
been paid, and how much Is still out
st nding, it Is proposed to enter into cor
respondence with holders OF MORTGAGES.
1t Is believed they will not oh, ect to fur
nishing information. and that they will
have no motive to furnish anything but
precise facts. Thus far no systematic
attempt la ben made to collect statistics
on this subject except very recent at
tempts under state laws in Michigan and
Illinois. The report in the latter state
has not yet been published. The national
census will show the character Of the
holders Of mortgages, whether individual,
saving banks, or corporations, and so fur
nish an answer, in crude way, to the
question whether the holders are great
capitalists, or corpo ations representing
small savings of money. The results will
probably attract attention all over the
world

Won MOltke,

One of the most notable OF the wonder
full old men of Germany is Won Moltke
We could learn lesson OF two from o
Germans concerning the value of men, In
the United States a man is she we'd at 20.
When he has reac ed that age In the Ger
u an empire it Is asserted that his faculties
have reached their fullest development
and that his wisdom will then be or the
highest value % the state. At al events
he is lifted power and import ,nce and
the reins of go eminent lie in his hand to
the very last. Although Won No ike Is
II years old he Is as active as though
but 40. Very often in Berlin | walked to
the war Office after breakfast Just for the
pleasure of sec ng the old marshal go to
work.
There was always little crowd around
the do waiting glance at the fam
GUS commander and when he umped out
OF his carriage and walked briskly 10 the
big Building that | known as the brain of
the army, be"ause all the planning of that
great oryani at on goes on there, he usual
~ walked between two lines Of pc pie.
He smiled wi h invaria 10 good nature at
the crowd, AMI occasionally stopped to
kiss the rudy cheek OF Oh Id II its
mother pushed it forward for the honor.
Then he trotted into the Office, and ha +
an hour later could be seen hurrying
along the corridor with his hands full of
huge official looking papers, as had at
work as thoGgh he lad not carmel a rest
by 20 many year Of TO ].
Like the sturdy old Emperor, Bismarck,
Blumenthal and the est OF those wonder
full old men, Won Moltke rises at Z In the
morning, retires early at night, sleeps on
hard camp beds tead, eats little AMI
drinks less This military regimen I'M
doubleday has much to do with the amaz-
ing vigor viii h they all show To speak
of man so as ''oli'' in Berlin i to
cause a General sensation OF surprise, Iity
an indignation. In our Judgment of men

1.-The Dark Horse"

The use of this phrase, borrowed from
the race-track, Is singularly appropriate
In its appelation to obscure cand dates for
conventional honors, who succeed In win
ming the rrize.
The first use OF the phrase occurs In
Mr. Disraells afterwards Lord Beacons-
field novel, young luke, when the
heroine, Mary DacTe. gave her name to
the unknown but winning horse in the
race. The paragraph is this: The
first favorite was never heard of, the sec
ond favorlte was never seen after the
distance post all the ten-to-one were H.
the race, and dark horse which had
never been thought Of rushed past the
grand stand in sweeping triumph The
phrase Is so aptly descriptive OF the exact
situation that IL has been transferred
from the race-course ~ the nominating
convention IL illustrate that its appllca-
tion is recogn zed W thout word Of ex-
