A CHINESE lantern tied to a kite
that was poised in mid-air caused q
sensation among the negroes of Au.
gusta, Ga, a few nights ago. The un-
canny light dancing in the heavens
terrified them, and their cries
and prayers are said to have
been woful to hear. One old woman
prophesied that it was a warning to
them all to repent.

THE WINDS OF REMEMBERING.

OF how the winds Of remembering blow
Fair windsl Fresh windsD
From the dear, sunny places of long ago,
Where blossoms of love and of beauty grow,
Their swift currenttwinds
In through the chambers of memory, sweet,
They move me to rapture, they sing, they retreat,
TIL 1 wander again In youths golden glow
Oh how the winds Of remembering blow.
Of how the winds of remembering blow
Dear wtndsl Sweet windsD
Their murmurous intonings, they come and they
go
Like whispers of love meath q moon sailing low
What is this blinds
All the vision and melts all the hearth
Ali Loves land IS fair, but l must depart;
The few tarry there, the many must GO
OF how the winds of remembering blowl
OF how the winds Of remembering blow
(Sad windsi Soft windsD
From the lone ways once trod in the silence Of
woe,
Crushing, one after one, Hopes violets low
(How the past unbinds.)
The sough of the winds blowing of of those years
Fills my ears with a music whose answer is tears
That dripiwith monotonous rhythm and slow
OF how the winds of remembering blow.

A FAR CRY TO HEAVEN.

What dost thou pray that the OUTCOME tide be
rolled back on the strand,
The flame be rekindled that mounted away from
the smoldering brand,
The past summer harvest flow golden through
stubble lands naked and scar,
Tho winter gray woods upgather and quicken the
leaves of last yearf-
Thy prayers are as clouds In a drouth; regardless,
unfruitful, they roll;
For this, that thou prayest vain things, It's q far
cry to heaven, my soul
oh, a far cry TO heaven!
Thou dreamest the word shall return, shot arrow.
like into the air,
The wound In the breast where It lodged be
balmed and closed for thy prayer,
The ear of the dead be unsealed till thou whisper
a boon once denied,
Thy white hour of life be restored, that passed
thee unprized, undescriedl-
For this, that thou prayest fond things, thy
prayers shall fall wide of the goal;
God bloweth them back with a breath, tits a far
cry to heaven, my soul
oh, a far cry to heaveni
And cravest thou fondly the quivering sands shall
be firm to thy feet,
The brackish pool of the waste TO thy lips be
made wholesome and SWEET
And cravest thou subtly the bane thou desirest DO
wrought to thy good,
As forth from a poisonous flower a bee conveyeth
safe food
Tor this that thou prayest Ill things, thy prayers
are an anger rent scroll;
The chamber of audit Is closed-'tis O far cry to
heaven, my soul
oh, a far cry to heavenl

the racquet" Mrs. Simmons, a well
known young lady of Washington, com
posed a few years ago a galop and was at
u loss to give it a name. One day, being
disturbed by children in the room, she
called out: Don't make such a racket
which was caught up and repeated by the
children as they went out. 1t occurred
to her that it was a good name for her
piece, and so, with a touch of French, she
called it the Racquet Galop," and over

of how generous the proprietors of their
papers were in granting them vacations,
when a fellow named Skaggs remarked:

Could old Garrett have lived and con-
tinued in the path he had laid out for
himself, the V~anderbilts, Goulds and
Astors would AVE fallen far behind him
in wealth, influence and position. But
his time came in due course, and in the
hope of p~erpetuating the family name, he
left his son Robert to carry out the
schemes he himself had originated. Up
to that time Bob" Garrett had been a
roisterer, a Bohemian, o night bowler, a
good fellow. He had never been a bust
ness man, inc when he tackled the vast
enterprise over which his father had pre-
sided he did not altogether let go of his
former career. He had not the applica-
ton born of life long industry. It wor-
ried, annoyed and fustered him to be
fastened to his desk four or five hours q
day, and to be in consultation on matters
of great and serious import the remainder
of his time.
He sought exhilaration in champagne
whene exhausted with the mental strain
of a days labor. That untitled him for
the beginning of another day of hard
work, and it began to be noticeable that
Garrett was growing.eccentric. He bought
hundreds of suits of clothes, spent bar
rels of money on great ~banquets, and tried
to make himself and the world believe
that he vas enjoying life in an easy and
~nonchalant manner. Instead of husband
ing his energies. he d~issipated them, and
when he came in contact with the ablest
minds in the world, and set his abilities
up against the acutest and most cunning
of his race, he speedily found himself en-
tangled in the meshes of a net that meant
his ruin. Threatened destruction of the
vast fabric created by his father was
about the last straw, and Bob" CARROTS
mind began Enthusiastically to totter on its
throne.-New York Cor. Pioneer Press.
