THE WINDS WAY.

The wind Of God swept through garden fair,
And stript thequeenly rose OF half its leaves
The rose of roses and the gardeners care
The wind Of God made bare,
And all the garden grieyes,
Q wind! why didst thou pass the pale wild rose,
That swings and suns against the outer wall,
To tase the fairest of the fiowery close
The sweetest bud that blows,
The rose beloved Of all?
Alas. the winds way is a wild way,
And whence, or why, or whittier, VIII an know
Unseen, II wanders forth both night and day.
And who shall bid 1t stay
That God has hidden blow!

a HUNT on THE PLAINS.
HOW SOLDIERS CHASED ELK IN
THE NE6RAsKAN HILLS.

Exciting Moments for Horses as Well as
aren--Plan of Attack Upon Hcrd-A
Big Bunch OF sleepy EilS--A shower OF
Snow Balls.
Not more than a hundred yards away was
fine grouping of game that would have de-
lighted the heart of Landseer, and certainly
delighted mine Slowly retreating until the
friendly ridge once more covered us, we
crawled back through the cactus to rejoin
our horses and our impatient comrades AS
mounted / said briefly that our time was
at hand and the battle not far Off / believe
the horses knew this better than the mon, for
as came crawling back through the snow
every equine ear In tho party followed me as
closely as If had bushel OF oats In my
possession; and when l mounted my own
little sorrel he was trembling from head to
foot, and he laid his nose against my knee as
II to gain information in his own peculiar
way. Every horse in that platoon knew as
well as every man what was ahead Of him
and better, too for all of them had been in
those exciting chases more times than two
thirds of the party The only noises that
broke tho hush of the still morning were a
few hurried whispers and the ominous clicks
OF tho breech locks as the cartridges fell
home in their chambers All the horses cars
were as rigidiy set toward the crest about O
hundred yards away, as if they were q charge
of fixed bayonets, and tho red dilated nos
trils, the fixed eyes and the heaving breasts
showed that they, too, felt all the excitement

A SHOWER OF SNOW BALLS.

Far down ON my right the marshals car
bine had been knocked from his hand by the
horns Of plunging buck, while near me, on
the left, a burly Wurtumberger corporal,
with empty, smoking pistol, brought the bar
rel down like club on the head of an elk
that was trying in the crush to push its way
directly over his horse The elk fell to the
ground stunned. II was hand to hoof and
horns for brief second or two, and then the
great surging mass broke to the westward
and the long chase began. 1t had been all
our way so far, but to the assistance OF the
herd there now came one Of the most unex-
pected allies that even an old hunter could
imagine 1t was the soft snow, that up to
this time had helped us in tracking them;
for, as the herd surged ahead, there came
from their feet one Of the most persistent
showers of snow balls, of iron like con-
sistency, that any one was ever called on to
face, and was surpassed only by those thrown
by the horses themselves, which, strung out
in disorder, the men and horses in the rear
had to face as well. Every ball that struck
horse delayed him. One man, struck on
the head, was disabled from managing his
reins, while another, struck full in the face,
had his upper lip split open to the teeth.
Many followed his example and withdrew
from the battle The chase over, the party
slowly assembled near the bodies Of the first
victims, and the two wagons with number
of men putting in an appearance from camp,
we retraced our steps to it, each one recount
ing his personal adventures.
1t was growing dark as the sergeant in
charge Of the wagon party raped at my
tent and reported: "The wagons are in with
the carcasses of nineteen elk, and am salts
flcd VIC have gotten them all, SIR The
next day we started for home.--Fredericls
Schwatka in The Century.

pies. it matters little vino the candidates

Cleveland ha~ again wrapped himself in
the mantle Of civil service reform, after
having tramplcd it under foot for months.
He has secured the nomination, and now
he wants to do little posing 10 catch the

ago seen through the hypocrisy Of Mr.,
Cleveland Four years ago he succeeded
in foolng some very good people, but he
will never do it again
Since the St Louis convention, Wash
;naton has been overrun with New York
democratic politicians, and the most Of
private secretary Dan. Lamont's time Is
taken up by conferences with these gentle
men. The subject matter under discuss
ion is doubtless the political situation in
New York State. There are rumOrs that
Cleveland intends to keep Governor Hill
out Of a nomination, because he dared to
allow his name to be used as prospective
presidential candidate. Some say that
Cleveland's candidate for Governor will be
ex-Mayor Grace, of New York city, and
others that private Secretary Lamont is
the favored individual. My own impress
sion is that Cleveland will not quarrel with
Hill-he dare not, but if he can get him to
retire by promise of future honoIs. he will
probably be very glad to do so.

moral courage: Through the influence of

following Work could only be possible
between the hours of 10 at night,when the
room Was generally abandoned by the prls-
omers because of its inundated condition,
and o'clock in the morning when the ear
Iiest rsers were again astir. 1t was nee
eSsary to do the work with an old jack
knife and one of the chisels previously Sc
cured by Rose. 1t must be done in dark
ness and without noise, for yigilant sen
tnel paced on the Carey street sidewalk

Of the fireplace. A rubber blanket was
procured, and the SCOT from the chimney
carefully swept into it. Hamilton with
his old jack-knife, cut the mortar between
the bricks and pried dozen of them out,
being careful To preserve them whole.
The rest of the iDcision was made in
accordance with the design described, but
no conception could have been formed be-
forehand of the sickeniHg tedionsness OF
cutting an IS shaped hole through heavy
wall with feeble old jlck-kniic, in stolen
