The Old Home Revisited.

The dear old home in golden sunlight lay.
All day the simple people to and fro
Moved through the quiet summer ways; al
wandered with bowed head and footstep
slow,
A stranger in the we'll remembered place,
Where Time has left not one familiar lace
knew long years ago.
Unchanged as in my dreams lay the fair land.
But the laughter-loving lips the eager feet,
The hands that clasped warm welcome to my
The hearts that at my coming higher beat,
wakens for me in any living eyes
That once made life so sweet.
Slowly the day drew down the golden west;
The purple shadows heightened on the
plain,
Yet L. unresting through a world at rest,
Went silent with my memory and my pain,
Then, for little space, across the years
To me; bowed down with time and worn
with tears,
My friends came back again.
One moment brief, too radiant to last
They gathered round me then, a happy
throng,
They came from out the dim and shadowy
As last 1 saw them, young and gay and
strong,
And my lost youth returned-fair as in days
fused to wander down the old pathway
With many laugh and song.
All mel on many long-lost summer night
We stood together here, these friends and I,
Watching the pale and lingering fringe of
light
Go slowly creeping round the northern sky
All God! if all the weary years could give
But one dear hour of that dear time to live
Once more-and then to diel
The old sweet fragrance fills the summer air,
The same light fingers on the northern sea,
Still as of yore the dear home lies fair
Beneath the silent stars, the melody
Of moving waters still is on the shore,
And am here again-but never more
My lost come back to mel

Mere Nonsense.

A great deal Of written and spoken
nonsense is nonsense. not because
words are misused, but because they
are ill-placed. Here are some examples:
l. He blew out his brainsafter saying
goodbye to his wife with a blunder-
buss." 2. Being early killed, 1 sent
party in search ofhis mangled body"
3. 81 could not cross-examine my
children in the family history of Sir
Charles Grandson and Harriet Byron,
as Lord Macaulay sometimes did" 4.
1--WE cOmplimented them upon dis
cussing matters which were in some
countries found irritating in so calm a
way" 5. "a lantern of linen and
embossed copper hangs from the GEN.
ter, thick Turkish carpets cover the
ground, and an enormous knob of
brass, about six feet high, surrounds
it" 6. He had jumped into the
river after fastening a rope around his
neck, the end of which was fastened to
big stone" z. "A tent large enough
to contain fifty persons of fine work
manship." As regards the first example,
fail to see how a man can say good
bye to his wife with blunderbuss. As
regards the second, if the writer was
uOW uO6S LldudS0 10
write afterward of how he sent out a
party, etcP The third sentence is a
gem from Sir Henry Hollands's "Reco-
lections." don't know what it i'm
plies; but it may imply that Lord
Macauley was in the habit of catechis-
ing either his own children or Sir
Henry's on the subject of Sir Charles
Grandson; or that he was in the habit
of cross-examining his own children
on some other topic. In sentence four
/ read about matters being irritated in
so calm way, and feel quite sure
that that is not quite what the author
intended me to understand from his
words. In five am puzzled to know
what the knob of brass surmounted
Syntax answers that it was the ground; !;
but l suspect that it may have been
the center of the lantern. In SIX learn
for the first time that man can tie the
end of his neck to stone. In seven
make the acquaintance of fifty people
of fine workmanship, and am sure I
am proud to know them. 4 simple
arrangement of words will set most
of these curious sentences right. What
pity it is that the writer's did not
make the simple rearrangement in
stead of leaving their readers to do it.

just a Trifie too Shrewd.

The inaptitude of the female mind
Tin rare instances, we mean) to take a
comprehensive view of business trans
action is marvellous. At a dry-goods
store in this city a woman recently
called for some sort of trimming,
which we will not attempt to describe,
because we could not. She was told
that piece, containing ten yards,
would cost her 80 cents, Then a con-
versation something like the following
ensued:
Customer-Oh, | don't want a whole
piece. How much is it by the yard?
Saleswoman-We have to charge 8
cents a yard when we cut it.
Give cents? Well. I guess seven
yards will be enough. (Here the stuff
is measured.)
S.-Thirty-tlve cents, please.
Glow much is there left?
S.-Three yards.
c. presumably mentally reckoning
that ten times five are fifty)-How
much for the whole ten yardsp
S. (demurely, but with an eve to
business)-Oh, you can have the ten
yards for 45 cents.
C.-Very well, / guess I'll take ten
yards, Planks down As cents and de-
parts satistied.-NeWburyport Herald

A Great Needle Story.

Talk about your needle Stories"
said man on the streets yesterday,
"but | can tell you one that discounts
them all, and l don't have to go far
from home for the facts, either NV
wife's sister, young lady about 19,
has a pet needle. She wouldn't do
without it for the world About three
years ago the needle made its first ap-
pearance by sticking its point out of
her shoulder. How it ever got into her
body, or how long it had been there,
she says she doesn't know. 1t did not
come out far enough for anyone to
get hold of, but went back in, and in
about month it stuck its nose out
away down on her right ankle. Then
it disappeared again, and it has been
scOoting around inside of her system
ever since, poking its point out about
every month somewhere or other. She
had it pulled out once with a pair of
nippers, and you may not believe it,
but it is fact, she became almost
alarmingly i'll with sort of nervous
prostratiOn that the doctors could not
make anything of.
''One day an irresistible impulse
seized her, as she says to get that needle
and jab it into herself. She did so,
and felt much better instantly. The
needle has been on its travels without
interruption ever since, and she has
had perfect health. She could not be
persuaded now to have it taken out
About year ago the needle made its
appearance at her left wrist, and the
location of both ends of it was clearly
discernable. By way of amusement, 1
suppose, she managed to get at the
head of her pet and slipped a little
piece of fine, bright red silk thread
through the eye, and now the needle is
carrying that all over her system, and
once in while it is discernible be-
meath the skin. When the needle was
out it was very strongly magnetized..
Yes, 1t is very queer case, and / don't
pretend to explain it, but 1 know the
story is true.-PititddeLphid North A1saer-

A Rank-LeYeler.

"Hello, therer' exclaimed portly

''Well-no; the fact is. the captain

''Yes, sir; I'll tell the captain; but
fear there's little hope for him.
''Yes, he has got pretty bad, that's
fact; but We'll give him just one more
chance. But where is Col Blousley."
1.-The colonel is down cellar fixing
the furnace
when he comes up tell him to wash
the windows in my office here, and
while he is about it he may as well
clean all the windows. The colonel is
getting mighty lazy of late, and we
must keep him at something or he'll
die of dry rot. And, by the way, ma
jor, send Gen. Bean here immediately"
beg your pardon, sir, but the gen
eral is out in the back-room blacking
my boots; shall let him finish them
first?n
''Oh, yes; I'm in no particular hurry;
l1r1f la
the general here. Iwant him to sweep
out and clean these cuspidors. -
The writer, who was present at this
conversation, could not refrain from
asking the gentleman first mentioned
few questions.
''Who is that imam you called major?"
That is Maj. Strong. He has fine
military record, and was several times
mentioned in general orders for gallant
ry on the field"
''And who is the Capt. Bladesworth
you spoke of?''
why, is it possible you never heard
of Capt. Bladesworth? He was one of
the most efficient line officers in the
service. A splendid disciplinarian and
perfect tiger in batee."
And now he is drunkard?"

tain went right down, and he has been
down ever since"
''And this Col. Blousley, who fixes
furnaces and cleans windows-surely
his title is given to him through face
tiousness?"
Not a bit of it. l have seen the
colonel many time at the head of his
regiment, and very superior officer
he was, too"
''And this Gen. Bean?"
"A full major general, sir He did
excellent service in the Army of the
Potomac. and you'll find his name in
connection with almost all the leading
events in the Virginia campaigns"
And now he is bootblack and gen
eral scrub?"
''Oh, that's nothing; life is full of
changes, you know"
But, Mr.. Remington. you were in
the army, too, believer"
''Yes."

The Young Critic.

A bright youngster who visited the
Corcoran Art Gallery the other day
was apparently very deeply impressed
with that famous little example of Ital-
ian sculpture, THE Forced Prayer"
1t will be remembered that the statue
represents a small boy in very alb
breviated garment who holds his chub-
by hands together in front of him in
an attitude of prayer, while his small
face represents every possible shade OF
disgust and rebellion. But our young
ster had different explanation of the
motive of the statue, which he tersely
stated to his father on his return home
somewhat in this wise: ''An', papa,
sawed little image of a boy what had
been chasin' a little chicken in his
night-gown. An he des catch de little
chicken upin his hands an he squoshed

Although there is an old saying that
lightning never strikes twice in the
same place, an old walnut tree near
Baltimore. Md, has been struck five
times. The first time it was struck
ten sparrows that were taking shelter
in it from the storm were killed. In
the tree was nest of three crows, and
they were saved only because their
nest was blown out just before the tree
was struck.

 The digestive system is wholly out of order and DIarrhes or Constipation may be a symptom or the the two may alternate. There are often Hemor- rhoids or even loss of blood.
