love OF her reputed parents did not
perfectly repay her for the indifference
OF her true parents. 1t was nov only
too evident that why they had paid
these yearly visits. Their love being
given to their lost son, they had come
merely to refresh their eyes and memo
rles by gazing on his twin sister. But
they had really cared for her only so
long as they had believed him lost.

they came here for the sole purpose Of

looking at you and imagining how

no one who witnessed the self possess

What did the Privates Do2

And books are filled with fame,
Brass bands will play and rear

OF men who have commissions and

But still the question comes to me,
What did the privates DO?
Who were the men TO guard the camp
When the foe was lowering roundP
Who dug the graves of comrades dear.
Who laid them in the ground?
Who sent the dying message home
To those be never knew?
If the officers did all this
What did the privates dol
Who were the men TO fill the place
OF comrades slain in strife,
Who were the men 10 risk their "
To ave a comrades life,
Who was it lived on sailed pork
And bread too hard to chew,
II the officers did all this
What did the privates do?
Who laid in pits on rainy nights
All eager for the fray,
Who marched beneath a scorching sun
Through all the toilsome day.
Who paid the sutler double price
And scanty rations drew,
If the officers get all the praise
Theu what did the privates do?
In honor to the brave old boys
Who rallied to the call,
Without regard to name or rank
We honor m and all,
They're passing over one by one
And soon they'll be all gone,
To where the books will surely show
What the privates themselves ha'
done.

Life in Morocco.

The suburbs OF Tangier are beautiful.
There are exquisite gardens with high
hedges Of geraniums and heliotropes, beds
of roses of every hue and innumerable
small flowers unknowh in your country.
Figs, apricotS, pomegranates, pears,
plumS, olives. dates and walnuts grow in
luxuriance. So do oranges and lemons;
the former are far superior to those found
in California and Florida, and have seen
them sell here at three cents dozen. The
markets are good, ish being abundant.
Fine large roe shad bring from fifteen to
twenty cents each; sole the same: Spanish
nackerel from ten 10 twelve cents each;
small fish five cents a pound: meat from
five to nine cents; capols twenty-five cents
each; chickens twelve to fifteen cents
ezch; eggs fifty cents per 100 in summer
and ninety cents in winter, as large and
fresh as any at home. Milk and butter
are not good. for some reason which hayo

Views of an English Teacher.

Edward Thring's work at Uppingham
has conferred around two or three clear and
sharply defined ideas-some principles of
educational conduct which may be looked
upon as fundamental and universal. The
first of these and that from which every
thing else springs, is simple enough. It
is that every boy. stupid and clever alike,
should have a fair chance, and should be
really trained. Mr.. Thring claims that no
school, however great its prestige, num-
bers, wealth or its list Of prize winners,
can be called good school, or even an
honest school, unless it makes this a first
condition of its work. The Importance
of the principle cannot be overestimated.
Fully accepted and acted upon, it would
revolutionize most of the schools of Eng
land, and probably most of those in
America.
No true judgment of schools real
merits can be formed from its prize win
ming record. Given school which draws
some hundreds of boys from classes Of
society where the earlier training is fairly
good, let it have wealth enough to attract
a number Of exceptionally able teachers,
turn the teaching power of these upon
even small proportion Of the cleverest
pupils, and you may have school with
an overwhelming list of university and
other scholastic distinction, while the mass
of the boys are almost entirely neglected.
That this picture does not unfairly repre-
sent the work of some famous schools is
a known fact.-George L. Parkin in The
Century.

The Real French Angler.

The French angler is an interesting
study from many points of view. He
will sacrifice everything for days out
ing. Once bitten by the mania, he gives
himself up to it body and soul He OBJ
jects to fishing parties, and prefers to go
alone, jealous of others profting by his
skill or learning his cherished swims.
He is essentially an egotist. Nothing
will turn him aside from his sport.
have seen him plying his line silently and
unconcerned during the height of revolu-
ton. On the 4th of September, when all
Paris turned out in the streets shouting
and singing over the fall of the Second
Empire, he continued watching his float
as unmoved assthe sphinx Of the desert.
And under the commune, when the shells
were falling almost at his very feet, he
went on fishing all the same. Whether
this be virtue or not l leave the moral
lists to decide. But there is one feature
about him which is not honest Like
many other kinds of sportsmen, he is ca
pable, when he has Ill luck, of filing his
basket with the assistance of the poach-
ers, who are always on tho lookout to
earn franc or two. He has not the
courage to admit that he has failed, and
will resort to any trick to save his amour
propre.-New York Times.

The excursion rates give some railroads
that are always han9ering after q cut III
rates the opportunity they are after. There
are half dozen ways Of going out of New
York to Chicago. Other things being equal,
passengers would naturally take the lines
that have the best cars and make the best
time. To get any traffic at all the other
roads must offer lower rates. They are in q
pool, and they cannot mako a lower rate st
their regular Offices than tho pool allows.
To make low rate and get passengers they
they must do it with seeming concealment.
Everybody knows, of course, that it is done,
but pretense OF not doing it must be kept
up. Here is where the natural usefulness Of
the ticket scalper to both railroads and pas
sengers comes in. The railroad does its part
by paying commissions for the sale Of tick
cts, the commissions sometimes amounting to
two thirds of the regular fare. ANY scalper
can get this reduction by sending boy with
a note and the price, Of the ticket, less COM
mission, to the passenger office of the COM
pany. How much of this commission he
keeps for himself depends on his shrewdness
and the shrewdness Of his customer. With
iudicious care he can be induced to take

road company. Without caution he may
make as much profit from the passenger as
the railroad gets for the passengers trans

The srltry jungle holds its breath;
The palsied night Is dumb as death;
The golden stars burn large and bland
Above this torrid Indian land;
But we that hunger's pangs distress
Crouch low in deadly watchfulness,
With sleek striped shapes of massive size.
Great velvet paws and lurid eyes.

Where yonder monstrous ferns abounds
Some lssome leopard crouches there
Let him creep nearer if he dare!
And bark, again. In yonder grove

Coils round bough its clarnmy length
Soon the late moon that crirlsons air
VIII fan with mellow splendors where
The Rajah's distant palace shows
Its naughty domes in dark repose!
And from this dim lair by and by,
We shall behold, against the sky,
With mighty gorges robed in gloom,
The wild immense Himalay's loom.
At moonrise, through this very spot,
You still remember, do you not,

Sprang past US ON his charger white,
