GLAMOUR LAND.

All, din, lost Glamour land!
On whose confines l stand,
longing for home that shall be home no more
There at OF my pslace grand,
Where now, on either hand,
The fery swords OF terlphs guard the door,
There once l roamed to Gull
Dear hopes more beautiful
Than siren thoughts that musing monks resist
Nothing too far or fair
But its mirage was there,
Pictured upon the valleys rosy mist.
There each sweet day heard
Songs of brooding bird,
Telling of purest pleasures yet to be;
There, by the singing streams
Fsint forms of darling dreams
l,oItered and fingered hand In hand with me-
All dim, dear Fancy landi
THY welkin, rainbow spanned,
The softened light of hslcyon hours o'erpast,
Fading away, away,
All the expanse Is gray

MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS.

HDiligent in his business" It Is the
man who is diligent in his own business
TO whom this exalted position is prom

who are diligent in everybody else's bust

tend to their own. They do Iot stand
before kings; they more frequently stand
before the police judge. Their diligence
is not commendable. A workman Is
known by his chips; SO, alas! is the faro
banker. Do you be dillgent in your own
business and be content with its re-
wards. You may not walk so many
miles in six days as Fitzgerald, but you

wHALLEx AVENUE sLE1GHING.
Many Persons DJOying the Healthy
 Sport.

SpOrGs
 Whalley avenue was the scene of one of the regular sleighing carnivals yesterday af- ternoon. These carnivals are a well known sport for the avenue every afternoon when sleighipg and weather are favorable for en- toying this healthy pastime, and probably many of those who were out returned to the city feeling refreshed after spin in the fresh, bracing air. It is said that since the accident on the drive which caused the death of Captain William Farren some persons. especially ladies, are afraid to go sleighine among the afternoon throngs on the avenue No serious accidents were reported yesterday, although collision occurred which would have caused an accident if the horses had been going fast. Besides this collision a slight accident occurred near Orchard street which resulted in breaking one shaft. As usual crowd on the sidewalk were watch ing those who were enjoying the sleighing Among the spectators were several horsemen who commented on the speed of the fastest of the horses and the skill of the drivers. One of the celebrated horses on the thor oughfsre yesterday was "Elastic Starch D formerly called "Derby Wonder" driven by N. W. Hubinger, who evidently did not con- slider it safe to drive his horse at his fastest gait. It was noticed that this horse is pure gaited and can get his speed remarkably quick.
 William Nicely of Bolton & Nicely drove his fine pair of horses several times over the road very fast. 0. G. Earle, the Chapel street jeweler, was among the flyers behind his fine clipped horse. Dr. Stetson's bay horse went very fast over the avenue yester- day. Frank Fowler was out with his Vermont mare, which he did not speed fast. Some or the drivers are very cautious. Among others were MT. Meachem and lady with, nm, George Griswold, who had no lady with him, but had room for one in his sleigh. D. A. Blakeslee drove at a moderata oait several times over the course, after which he speeded his pacer, winning several sharn contests. Fred Oaks had another fast pacer.
 Among the conspicuous ones were w Fisher with one of Bunnell's adyertisino wagons. Fled Brown and Luzerne Ludine. ton of Fair Haven were each out with good good pair of blacks. One of the best looking horses on the avenue was driven by R. A. Benham. Dwight Moore, who drove over the avenue very oetsn, speeded his horse occa- sionally. Several ladies were driving good looking horses over the snow. While some of the spectators noticed the horses, others l noticed the drivers.
 Others on the drive were B. Rogowski with ? good horse; M. Dillon, who was driving 1 last; Robert Stevens and friend; Mr. and | Mrs. Meigs; George w. Ives, who had q very | inc pair and a bay horse driven single. Jesse r Welch, the grocer, had good looking horse | which he drove fast at times.
