FAME"

The master wrote his grand old name
Upon the whitened sands of Time;
Above. he traced a land sublime
To speak forever of his fame.
Again no came; an hour, a day,
Had wrought a change upon the sand =
As tho an unseen, jealous hand
Had swept his laurels all away.
The singer sang tender lay
Unto smiling, eager throng,
And dreamt her little, fleeting song
Would last in memory for aye.
Ayear, an age; she sought again
In broken voice and tattered gown
The chosen friends of her renown,
But sought remembrance all in vain.
A little child, in meadows green,
Danced gayly DER the budding flowers
Nor counted laps Of fleeing hours,
Nor envied Fame her title--''queen.n
The butterfly, in gaudy dress,
Was her especial care, the bees
Joined voices with her meath the trees
And this alone was happiness.

A New CrOp of Hair.

A Sioux City QowaJ man who has been
bald for years, was surprised lately to
discover patch of fiery red hair, about
the size of a silver dollar, growing from
the crown of his head. 1t came forth
with surprising rapidity, and in few
days was several inches in length. The
queer thing about it is, that what little
hair he had before was jet black, and
the red lock covers only small portion
of the bald place. 1t is SO funny that he
scarcely dares to take his hat of.
