LAMENT OF A MOCKING BIRD.

Silence instead of thy sweet song, my bird,
Which through the darkness OF my winter
days
Warbling of summer sunshine still was heard; !;
Mute is thy song, and vacant is thy place.
The spring comes back again, the fields rejoice,
Carols of gladness ring from every tree
But shall hear thy wild triumphant voice 80
No more; my summer song mas oleu WIFI
thee.
What didst thou sing of, oh, my summer bird?
The broad, bright brimming river, whose
And whiriing eddies, by thy home are heard,
Rushing resistless, to the calling deep.
What ddst thou sing of, thou melodious sprite ?
Pine forests, with smooth russell carpets
Where cen at MONDAY dimly falls the light,
Through gloomy blue-green branches over
head.
What didst thou sing of, oh. thou jubilant soul !?
Ever-fresh flowers and never leafiless trees,
Bending great ivory cups to the control
OF the soft swaying orange-seented breeze.
What ddst thou sing of, thou embodied glee?
The wide wild marshes with their clashng
reeds,
And topaz-tinted channels, where the sea
Daily its tides of briny freshness leads.
What didst thou sing of, oh, thou winged voice
Dark bronzed-leaved oaks, with silver moses
crowned,
Where thy free kindred live, love and rejoice.
With leaves of golden jasmine curtain q
round.
These did thou sing Of, sprite of delight!
From thy own radiant sky, thou quivering
spark!
These thy sweet southern dreams of warmth
and light
Through the grim, Northern winter drear and
dark

Descendants of the Dirt Eaters.

There is race of negroes in the United
States that must be descendants of the dirt
eating tribe of Africans known to exist III the
interior of the dark continent, for l had a
cook who came from the back hill country of
Louisiana, which, by the way, is very little
known by outsiders, who was dirt eater.
She said one day that she was going back to
the hills, as the black dirt at New Orleans
was not good, and she pined for some of the
kind she had always been used to eating, and
she went back. was told that in certain
soil where these people live there was strong
alkali taste which they fancied very much.
Eating dirt becomes habit with them and
when they wander away they still keep up
the desire until they get tired of the mud that
is unlike the home article. / have heard Of
white men who eat dirt but this negress is
the only genuine dirt eater ever saw.-CoL

A VAST COUNTRY.
The Growing West as Seen by East.
ern Eyes.
IHarper's Magazine. !

When Western man goes East he car
ries the consciousness of playing a great
part in the making of an empire his hori-
zon is large; but he finds himself sur
rounded by an atmosphere of indifference
or non-comprehensO of the prodigious-
ness of his country, of incredulity as to the
refinement and luxury of his civilization,
and self-assertiOn in his natural defense.
This longitudinal incredulity and swagger
is a curious phenomenon. London thinks
New York puts on airs, New York COM
plains of Chicago's want of modesty, Chi
cago can see that Kansas City and Omaha
are aggressively boastful, and these cities
acknowledge the expansive self-apprecia-
tiOn of Denver and Helena.
Does going West work radical differ
ence in a mans character? Hardly. We
are all cut out of the same piece of cloth.
The Western man is the Eastern man or
the Southern man let loose, with his lead
ing strings cut But the change OF sltua-
ton creates immense diversity in interests
and in spirit. One has but to take up any
of the great newspapers, say in st. Paul or
Minneapolis, to be aware that he is III
another world of ideas, of news, of inter-
ests. The topics that most interest the
East he does not find there, nor much of
its news. Persons of whom he reads daily
in the East drop out of sight and other
persons, magnates in politics, packing,
and railways loom up. 1t takes columns
to tell the daily history of places which
have heretofore only caught the attention
of the Eastern reader for freaks of the ther-
mometer, and he has an opportunity to
read daily pages about Dakota, concerning
which weekly paragraph has formerly
satisfied his curiosity. Before he can be
absorbed in these lively and intelligent
newspapers he must change the whole cur
rent of his thoughts and take up other sub
jects, persons and places than those that
have occupied his mind. He is in new
world.
One of the most striking facts in the
West is State pride, attachment to the
State, the profound belief of every citizen
that his State is the best. Engendered
perhaps at first by permanent investment
and the spur of self-interest, it speedily
becomes passion, as strong in the newest
State as it is in any of the original thir-
teen. Rivalry between cities is sharp, and
civic pride is excessive, but both are out
done by the larger devotion to the COM
monwealth And this pride is developed
in the inhabitants of Territory as soon
as it is organized. Montana has condensed
the ordinary achievements of a century
into twenty years, and loyalty to it's pres
ent and expectation of its future are as
strong in its citizens as is the attachment
Of men of Massachusetts to the State OF
nearly three centuries of growth.

TIME TO ME.

Time to me this truth hath taught
'Tis a truth that's worth revealing;
More offend from want of thought,
Than from any want Of feeling.
II advice we could convey,
There's a time we should convey 1t !;
/. we've but a word to say,
There's tone in which to say it.
Many a beauteous flower decays,
Though we tend 1t e'er so much;
Something secret on it preys,
Which no human aid can touch.
SO, in many lovely breast,
Lies some canker grief concealed;
That if touched, is more oppressed;
Left unto itself-is healed.
Oft, unknowingly, the tongue,
Touches on a chord so aching,
That a word, or accent, wrong,
Pains the heart almost to breaking.
Many a tear OF wounded pride,
Many a fault of human blindness,
Has been soothed or turned aside,
BY quiet voice of kindness.

ON the Elevated 80 os...n-.

A Third avenue train, bound for city hail,
reached Fifty-ninth street at 10 o'clock, aod
was crowded A man who had kept his eye
on the first car managed to squeeze himself
in there. In one of the cross seats were two
young women, and opposite them were
bundle and young man. The young women
were engrossed in each others conversation,
which seemed to consist almost entirely Of
Essays he to me-" "Then, says / to him."
s'He wrote me, so be did," ard so on.
The man approached and said, somewhat
gruffly, 81 want to sit down."
The Young man, who was sitting upon the
outer end, closed in his legs to let him pass
81 want to sit down there" he said, with
an emphasis on "there" as he pointed where
the bundle rested. He spoke more gruftiy
this time, and in a louder tone.
The young man smiled and continued read
ing.
"Well,n roared the now thoroughly in
furiated man, 81 paid for my seat and I'll
see you to the deuce before you can keep two
seats for one fare" Then he took the bundle
and pitched it upon the floor. The young
man again smiled, while the young women
suddenly ceased their "Said to him" and
"Says he to me-" One of them reached for
CQe DunQle, WHICH WAS uciS, aAA oaiA w sAo
man, loudly enough for everybody to hear:
"You dirty, naughty, mean man."
The man was overwhelmed with confusion
and was apologizing to all three, when a
fellow passenger who had been sitting with
his back to him stood up and cursed him.
"Do you want to gaze at the stars!' said he,
cor probably you have rush of blood to the
head. Anyhow, lean off. Give my back
show"
There had been no triangular piece of wood
to keep their backs apart. The man forgot
his apology, and turned around to confront
his new antagonist Fragments Of the two
would soon have been strewn about had NOT
the other passengers interfered. Then the
blunderer rushed to the door as the train
slowed up.
'No," replied the guard, shaking his head;
''this is Forty-seventh."
Before the blunderer could resume his seat
the train started and he was flung to the
floor, crushing his hat and hurting his lip as
he fell As the train reached Twenty-third
street there was great rush. The blunderer
was leaning on his cane. When the train
again started the blunderer wasn't leaning on
his cane, but he was leisurely examining the
two halves Of it.

SPRING WINDS.

heard the winds with unseen feet
Pass up the long and weary street;
They sang, 1--WE come from hill and glen
To touch the brows of toiling men,
"That each may know and feel we bring
The first faint breathings Of the spring,
"To sweeten lane, and street, and square,
And tighten all the dusty air.
"The hills from which we come lie bright
In something of a richer light.
"The long. deep glens and woodlands lie
In eofter shadows to the eye.
"The birds have caught finer note
To throb with joy each feathered throat.
"The streamlet echoes sweet and clear
The liquid pulsings of the year;
And everywhere you look Is seen
Life dawning in tinge Of green"
Thus sang the winds as up the street
They passed with heard but unseen, feet;
And. as they want, cloud above
sent downward tears of spring and love.

ROYAL INCOMES.
What Some European SOvereisns Get
for Their Valuable Services.

In an interesting article on "The Empe-
rors Income" published in the Ausbuger
AJendzeitung, Herr Karl Hermann gives
some detail respecting the revenue of other
sovereigns and presidents. 1t will surprise
a great many to learn that as German En-
peror, William l. had no income at all.
True the Reichstag voted for the Emperor
a sum of 100000 marks ($13OO0O in the
budget for 18S7-SS. But this is not a source
income for the Emperor at all, but merely
served as fund at his disposition for
granting pensions and gratuities. Con-
sequently the imperial dignity in
Germany is an unpaid honorary
office. What income the German
emperor does not derive he receives as
King of Prussia. As such, his revenue
amounted for 1997-88, altogether, to 12,-
1926 marks (e61O,955) of which 7,779,-
296 marks were taken from the income
derived from public lands and forests, and
the remainder (4,5OO,OOO marks) voted by
the Prussian Chambers. Out of this
12,25O,OOO marks (which comes to 33,477
marks, e1, ,678 day., the King of Prussia
has to allow their income to the princes of
the royal house. The expenditure for the
imperial house of Russia amounted, accord
ing to the published balance sheet for 1884,
to no less than 10,56O,OOO rubies (the
rubie at 2s. makes e1 ,O56 OOO) in that year,
or nearly 100000 rubies (e3,OOO) a dav.
In Austria Hungary the countries repre-
sented in the Reichbarth granted civil
list of 4, $780, O,OOOf, and Hungary contributes
the same amount, making together g.
3OO,OOOf, (e3OO,OOO year, or about (26,-
OOOf) 92,6OO day. The civil list Of the
Queen of England is 100000 year. or
only about ,12O day. But then sepa-
rate incomes are annually voted by par
lament to the princes and princesses of the
royal house. Italy is also somewhat more
liberal than Germany in providing for the
reigning family. A sum Of 15,15O,OOO
livre (s616,OOO) is annually voted for the
civil list and appendages. This amounts
to about $4,000 livre (91, $50 day. The
civil list of the kings Of Spain is $780,
600 pesetas (e374,OOO). Japan also has q
considerable civil list. 1t is 3,24O,OOO yeks
(e482 OOO). France pays her president in
salary and expenses of representation the
sum of 100000 year. The President
of the United States receives modest in
come of 10000 (e10,0OO).

Napkin Rings.
From the Boston Transcript.

Why should smile wreath the lips OF
the recipient of beautiful and costly nap
kin ring? Rather should the lips be COM
pressed in dismay. There should be no
costly napkin rings. There should be no
napkin rings at all.
A well appointed table should not tOler-
ate the article in any form. Inevitably it
suggests the use of q soiled napkin. A close
calculation of the saving of a laundry bill
of from three to five cents-a probable
flavor or aroma of dishes eaten at pre-
vious meal, in some cases of series OF
meals running through series of days.
To individualize clean napkins by rings
is entirely supeIfuous; and, esthetically,
a folded napkin has chaste beauty that
that one rolled in the most beautiful OF
rings cannot equal. If economy requires
the repeated use of soiled napkins, ring,
let the ring be unobtrusively plain and in
expensive, in conformity to its uses. A
soiled napkin in a gold or silver ring is
a most offensive association Of contradic-
tory things.
All the cunning and skill of the metal
worker and the engraver have been ex-
pended to concentrate attention upon what
otherwise might escape special nOtice-the
forbidding piece of soiled linen. And in
these days of moustaches, how absurd, how
outrageous to assume (say at boarding
house table, that if q napkin must be used
more than once, all at table can alike make
them serve for fixed number of meals.
All wearers of moustaches require, in
the name of decency, fresh napkin at
every meal. And if general adoption OF
the moustache would drive forever from all
tables the soiled napkin that result in it
self would justify the cultivation of hirsute
growth on the upper lip
But the daintiest Of lips transfer stain tc
the napkin, though tea, coffee or chocolate
be slipped ever 80 fastidiously, and there
food favors las fresh fish, that enaciOnsly
cling to the linen, though it has but
lightly touched the mouth receiving such
food. Who that has lived vari0usly
at fashionable" clearinghouse has not
on hot summer day, had his light appe.
tite annihilated by his reversed, s0iled
tainted napkin, redolent of the aromas and
flavors of meats of preceding days? And
what guest at private tables has not In
wardly felt glad that he was guest, as BY
virtue of that fact he alone, of all the cir
Gle, enjoyed the privilege OF fresh nap
kin?
1t is truth, fully established, that even
napking rings do not invariably prevent Z
displacement of napkins. The primary
error lies in permitting second use o.
soiled napkins. All considerations ol
cleanliness forbid it. Napkin rings alone
render the custom practicable. Napkir
rings stand, then, clearly and solely, en-
blems of uncleanliness.
Napkin rings must 60.
