CHARMED BY MUSIC.

Rabbit Succumbs to the EKects of a
 Young Woman's Vocal Efforts.
 Some time ago party of young people gathered one evening at the residence of gentleman by the name of Cave, living in the suburbs of this city, says Wichita (Kan.) correspondent of the St Louis Glsee- Dcnocrut. During the evening Miss Fife Cave, 6 very fine vocalist, sang and played an accompaniment on the piano. The night was warm and pleasant, and the windows and doors of the house were open, while several couple were sitting on tho veranas. Soon after Miss Fife commenced to sing Q wild rabbit came leapiRg out of the weeds and took up position in the yard st ono of the windows near which sat tho saNSes. It raised itself on it's hind legs, pricRed up it's long ears and was very attentive to tho music, appearing to be charmed by it. Aft eT it had been standing there several His- ut 'es one of the gentlemen walked sowAr6ds anutwas within g couple of feet of the ami nal before 1t was frightened away.
 W}Nen Miss Fife started to sing anotheg song tue rabbit came bouHoing back agsd& and to,Nk Rp it's old position.

A FAMILY PUZZLE.
flow Two Marriages and a Divorce Mike
 Up the Relatives.

How Two Marriages and a Divorce Mixed
 Up the Relatives.
 A Quee- case of mixed relation ship exists in the family of Charles G. Hopkins, whose present residence is No. 1,S03 Wash street, says the St. Louis Globe-Dcmocrot. Several years ago Hopkins married Mrs. Hamil- ton, who bore him a son, now about nine years old. Later on the couple became di- vorsed, and in a year or so Hopkins mar ried his divorced wife'S daughter by former husband. A son was the fruit of this union also, the child being now six years old. Some time after her divorce from Hop kins, and the latter'S marriage to Miss Ham, ilton, Mrs. Hamilton became so far recon ciled to her ex-husoand, and then son-in- law, that she brought her son Roy, and came to reside under the same roof with him. The new wife took .on the duties of stepmother in addition to her formerly sis terly care of the older boy, and in due time after the birth of her own son Reggie, sent the half-brothers, who were also uncle and nephew by virtue of their mothers forneE relationship to Hopkins, out to play togeth- er Hopkins, 1t will be observed, is brother in-law to his own son, because the mother, of the youth is his nother-in-law. Miss Hamilton, as tho stepdaughter to Hopkins, was sister to her nother's son, Of whom she is now mother, and also aunt, because he Is her brother-in- -law's sop. HopkiRs is Roy's brother.in-lsw, as we'll as his father, because Hopkins married Roy's (half) sis ter. Reggie and his mother are nephew and aunt, by virtue of the former relationship of Hopkins and Miss Hamilton as brotherand- 1 sister-in-law. Lastly, Mrs. Hamilton, be- coming mothsr-in-law to her former huB- 1 band, attains the relationship of sister-in- | law to her own daughter. The Hopkins children, uncle snd nephew, and half brothers, are wonderfully alike in their ap- pearance and manners, and all strangers take them for sure enough brothers. They are remarkably handsome children. Hop kins is superintendent for the Wood-Maude Milling Company.

 My little ones live in New Haven, Conn, arc earnest readers of Huypor's Young Peo- pie, writes a correspondent of that journal, and are also the owners of very intelligent and beautiful cocker spaniel called Duke. The little fellow has been taught good many things by the family, and among others to go to the veranda and bring in the morning paper, which Is left there at an early hour. This, however, he does only when bidden A day or two after the great blizzard of March 12 Duke was sent for the paper, but after @ search in the accustomed place returned without it. A hunt was then instituted by members of the family, but the missing paper could not be found A few hours later 1t was raining, and Duke, as usual was out getting wet and dirty, as only cocker spaniels and some small children know how to do thoroughly. My wife sat at the window, and he soon came to the door where she could see him, and gave his sig nal for admission to the house, viz, 8 scratch on the door. She shook her head at him and told him he could not como in. Away he went around the house to the kitchen door, but orders to the maid not to admit him had preceded him. Again and again he tried the door by the window, looking up with & pleading expression on his face, which said: Please let me in, won't your" but face Otherwise Mrs. s. was inexor- able. Suddenly the expression on his fsce changed to look of glad intelligence. He darted to where huge snow-drift had been piled up against the veraRda, but had set tied away far enough to leave small spase between it and the platform, where he was observed to be searching down, and from which, after much difficulty, he esne up with the missing paper ID his mouth. Now the pleading look had changed to oae of con- fident assurance, as he pranced about under the window, wagging his short tail furiously, and this time his eyes said as plainly as words: "Now can come in, know, for have found the paper" Now, little reader, do you not think that Duke reasoned or thought to himself something after this wise: "Here am I, dirty, wet little dog, and she won't let me in where can get warm and dry because I shall soil her clothes or the carpets, but know what I'll do. I'll go and dig that paper out, and then she will let me in, know, for she is always so glad to get it that she pets me and talks nicely to me every time bring it."

Let me lie down in the clover, Where the daisy blossoms blow, And the yellow bee, like lover. Sips sweets from their checks of snow No prince in his royal palace Has softer couch than mine, AS drink from a lily chalice That the morning filled with. wine, The brook Is singing SC softly That can not catch Its words. But Its voice is like an echo Of the music of the birds A robin high up in the maple Sings with 8 bobolink A duet of merriest music As listen, too idle to think What Is the use of thinking! It is better to dream and rest And forget all the things that vex uS Though dreams arc but dreams at best. ID this sweet, still. balmy weather It is easy to quite forget That life has it's toll and trouble. And put by all vain regret Happy is he who reme mbers Naught of the busy strHe- NAught of ola and discord That jars on the cords of life. So, let me lie in the clover, And dream the long hours away. Forgetting the work of tomorrow In the peace that Is mine today.

 pretty Boston schook ma'am And youth of mien sedate Were parting in the evening Beside the garden gate. His hand and heart he'd offered In grave and sober way, And she with quiet dignity Had named the happy day. He fingered at the gate with her And said in accents low: There Is little favor would ask before go. A favor never asked before; Sweet maiden, 1t is this lovers privilege, that is an- sweet betrothal kiss.

Snakes and Science.

 Iris strange that these great men of science Can't keep any thing to themselves; They've shaken our faith in the centaur, In fairies, and brownies, and elves. The children's beloved old Santa Is scalped without fear or remorse; His beautiful span of fleet reindeer Is changed to the family horse. The wonders of forest and prairie They drive with their wisdom away, Exploding our favorite theories, And sweeping our knowledge astray. We always have known how the birdlings Are charmed by the power of the snake; How fatefully they fly around him In circles his glittering eyes make. Wherever the eyes cast their glances The ill-omened bird has to follow, Until the old reptile gets ready, And takes him in quick, at Q swallow. But scientists, whose prosy knowledge Is getting to be most alarming, Now tell us, and think we'll believe 1t, That snakes have no power in charmlug' expect that their next acquisition To us will be given quite soon, Informing us, with show of candor, That there is no "man in the moon"

When Kitty Was Raking the Hs

Tts years, little pet, since it happened, Aong years and full many day; Ana the story began on . morning When Kitty was ralxing the hay; The meadows were sweet with the flowers per.
 fume,
 And the birds sang their maths so gay; Oh, twas then, at her side, someone lost his
 poor heart
 When Kitty was raking the hay! Your eyes they are bright little darling; Some day gay bride you will be; And your true heart and hand will be won,
 love.
 But never, ah, never by &mel For down in meadow lies buried the hopes That were fair as sweet summer day, And they died with kiss ill a moment of bliss When Kitty was raking the hay. There's little to tell of the stoEy, It ends in the olden way; A mistake, and two lives ever parted, Two warm hearts forever astrayt Your round, rosy cheeks and your dark ripplinG
 hair
 But recall dream long passedAaway; An! theren never again be such moments Rp

DIED:

At Graham, July 81, 1888, at 1:30
P NJ, of pneumonia, Juan G. Robbins.
Deceased was born in Bradford,
Vermont, in 1S45. and would have
been 43 years of age the 2Sth of this
month. He went to California when
seven years Of age. He joined the
army as volunteer at the breaking
out of the rebellion, and served to
the close or near the close of the war.
From California he went to Silver
CITY where he worked for several
years in the mines, and was married
at that place to Miss Anna Leigh.
Mr.. Robbins and family moved to
this place in 1876, and have resided
in this county ever since, Mr.. Rob-
bins being constantly engaged in
mining. He was for sometime fore
man of the Banner mine, and had the
reputation of being the best quartz
miner in the county. He has been a
correspondent of the WORLD for a
great many years, writing under the
nom de plumes of "Ola," "Snibbor,"
"Snowbound" "Juan," ETC., and was
onr best mining correspondent.
He was a member of the A. 0. L.
w, life insurance order. His policy
calls for $4,000, which will prove
quite help to the family. He leaves
wife and FIVE children, three boys
and two girls, the oldest, a son, aged
about thirteen, and the youngest, a
daughter, six or seven years of age.
His father is resident of California,
but whether he has any other relatives
living we do not know. Mr.. Robbins
was one of the best citizens of the
county, a thorough rustler, and a
skilled workman in many lines, and
model husband and father, kind
and afectionate. His loss Is sad
severe blow to the family, his wife
being an invalid, and unable to pro-
vide for the family. But they have
the consolotion of knowing that they
are among warm hearted friends who
will extend to them the helping hanC
of charity.
The funeral took place at Ora
ham at 2 O'Clock ON the 22d.
A friend a. Graham writes thai
"he had no pain up to his death
He wouldn't give up. Ten min
utes before his death he got up out o.
bed, and said he would not die, anc
could not" He struggled agains
death, for the sake of his family, theil
welfare being the uppermost thought
of his mind, and the only pain he hac
was that occasioned by contemplating
the loss the family would sustain
should he be called away from earth
