The Death of the Year.

A cloud came out of the golden westi
A bell rang over the silent air; N
The sun god hurried away to rest,
Flushing with kisses each cloud hc prest;
And, oh! but the day was fair.
Glow brightly the year goes out" they said
"The glow of the sunset fingers long,
Knowing the year win be over and dead,
Its sad hours over, its fleet hours fled,
With service OF even song"
elbow sadly the year comes in" they said;
listened and wondered in dusk of night;
To me no year that might come instead
Ofthe old friend numbered among the dead,
Could ever be half so bright
The sun-kissed clouds grew pale and gray;
The bells hung silent m high mid-Gir
Waiting to ring the year away
In strains that were ever too glad and gay
For me as l listened there.
Oh hearts that beat in million breasts
Oh, lips that utter the same old phrase!
wonder that never sorrow rests
In words you utter to friends and guests
In the new years strange, new days.
Is it just the same as il used to be?
Have new years only a gladder soundY
For ever and always it seems to me
That no new face can be sweet TO see
As the old ones we have found.
There is no cloud in the darkcned west,
The bell is silent i'm misty air,
The year has gone TO its last long rest,
And l, who loved and knew it best,
Shall meet it-God knows where.

A Storm Wait.

IT'S but a weary time-this eventide-
With all the restless breezes making moan,
And am weary, too, as all alone
1 wait and wonder. Ever far and wide
The tempest spirit shrekng calls aloud,
And hill to answering hill the message bears;
And the fierce torrent through the valley tears
Like mad beast, fed by the emptyng clouds.
1 SILVER as / draw the drapery close
About me, listening to the storm without
And the pent storm within of fear and doubt.
That wages war upon my souls repose
The weary winds, the rains slow, solemn beat,
Sad dirge-like strains untsmy spirit sing,
And the loud-echong crags their cadence bring
To make the fearful symphony complete.
And in my soul the same 81, weary strain
Vibrates in every chamber, making moan,
Now fierce and loud-now a low, plaintve tone,
Rises and falls, recedes and comes again,
And ghostly figures stalk before my face,
My dead. walked by the storm from their long slec
Amid the dust of time, grim vigil keep,
Bearing the mold of their long resting-place
They gaze at me with faces sad and pale,
And solemn eyes that chain my soul so fast,
They chant in solemn measures of the past
Until my heart takes up the weary wall.
/ know too well the tales of the refrain;
I've read with my own life each clause Of woe;
Dear were the singers in the long ago;
But OH the recognition brings but pain.
Yon is persisted hope that once was dear,
And here a sacred love of days long past,
And there a friendship all too frail to last,
Yon lost ambition cost me many a tear.
They file slow past, the while their mournful lay
They chant to the wild music of the gale;
And when the tempets dies adown the vale
So stills their song, they fade and pass away.

What Foreigners Eat.

Nearly every thing that moves is
eaten in some way or another. The
natives of different countries have
various tastes, and eat many odd
dishes. In the Arctic region the fox
is eaten, and those who have tasted
it there say it tastes like a rabbit.
Cats and dogs are favorite dishes in
China and in the southern Sea Islands.
DVS HCon ~ os'i,l ~ .s'''UO iii.N D'uSoSi'
dogs, and in Africa they prefer it to
any thing else. In some parts of
this country the wildcat and the
American panther are eaten; so is
the puma, which is so much like veal
in flavor that one hardly knows the
difference. Lions flesh, too, is said
to be like veal in color, taste and tex
ture. The Australian kangaroo
tastes very much like venison. Some
of the small species of the animal
will serve up as nicely as hare. The
natives of Australia at a banquet
furnish an odd menu. On it can be
seen kangaroos, wallabies, Oppos-
sums and flying squirrels, kangaroo
rats, wombats and bandicots, rats,
mice, snails, snakes, worms and
grubs. In Martinique the muskrat
is eaten. The Indians eat the beaver,
which is said to taste like pork
The Dutch and HOttentots of the
Cape are very fond of porcupine.
Elephants feet furnish delicacies to
the natives of Ceylon. They pickle
them, and serve with vinegar and
cayenne pepper. The trunk of the
elephant is said to resemble buffalo
meat. In the Indian Archipelago
and Malabar the natives are very
fond of bats. Naturalists call them
the edicle bat. The flesh is white,
tender and delicate. Badger is said
to taste like wild boar. Hippopot-
anus fat is considered a great treat
by some, and when sailed is said to
be superior to bacon. The flesh is
palatable and nutritious, and the fat
is used for all the ordinary uses of
butter.

across the island to the harbor. She
knew just where, in the darkest night,
to find her own little boat, always
kept ready for service.
The harbor was dark, but Polly

hand, and pushed off into the sea.
