MUSIC or P4Sc4GoU-


The following ia kindly furnished us in manu-
,ript by a young lady friend FROM her album
On pcachartrains blue, CLASSY lake
The midnight stars are lying
On Pascagoula's placid food
The midnight breeze is dying
And on the Mexiqne gulf, whose breast
Has rocked her every bllow'
In tranquil peace and holy rest
The mocn has made her pillow.
Still is the night of earthly calm
None ever is known deeper
The hghtest breeze from Heavens gate,
Would wake the tired sleeper
When on the magic bells of night,
Is heard a weirdlike ringing,
And down the Pascagoula's waves.
The plaintive notes come winging.
Sweet as the chords ef Angel larps,
When swept by spirit fingers,
The fiute-like tones come waited down
Their sound now dies-=nOw fingers.
In stilly midnight DER the waters,
Like pitying Angels weeping
The dulcet chimes come floating down.
When ocean depths are sleeping.
'Tis said of cid, to Ponchartrain
One evening tide came trooping,
A hurried throng of wounded braves,
Old men and maidens dropping -
The last of Pascagoula's tribe.
A chief with eagle pinion
Thus sadly spoke the fainting few
Once pride of his dominion,
''Sons of my race our star is set
Waeondah's eye is darkenedi
His face is hidden from his sons,
Their prayer he hath not hearkened'
The summers son shall come again
To seek us by the River,
And by our fathers silent gravesi-
We shall be gone forever.
Faded as leaves beneath the breath
OF winters hurtlng storm,
No wigwam in our villages,
Upon our hills no form
We shall be gone-gone far away
From Pas cagoula's River,
To the GREAT wigwam, where in peace
The council fires burn ever.
Anon, the savage Muscogoe,
With tomahawk upraised.
Comes vengeful as the dreadful fire,
That DER the plains has blazed
With hideous yell and demon whoop
Nor yet with bloodshed sated,
They chase the last the feeble few
Their rage to death hath fated.
A dreadful pause--a hurried word
Into the calm blue waters,
Rush PascagOulas chief and braves,
Her sagamores and daughters.
Above them close the ripping waves,
And then secure and lonely,
They find the peace her warriors taste
In deaths chill arns only.
Fer since that eve, when deep-toned bells
The midnight hour is tolliHg,
And when their mellowed notes are heard
Among the echoes rolingi
Far down meath Pascagoula's wave,
The Indian Maids are singing
Their death song, while above their heads
The moon her beams is flinging.
And this the song the wanderer hears,
In still calm midnight hours
Which soothes his soul like zephyrs soft,
Der summers sweetest flowers
While on the listless worlding's ear,
Its tones may still grow deeperj
The notes are softer than sigh
And never wake the sleeper.

the same building. There are attached to the office, and in constant waiting, carriages to be used in case of a neces- sity for hurried trip to remote part of the city.
 Among these employees there exists a strong and cordial esprit de corps, which secures excellent results by the, creation of unity of purpose when some great end is to be achieved. I saw nowhere in this office, nor among other French journalists, of whom I met many, any vestiges of that contemptible jealousy so common on this side of the Atlantic, in which one believes that by pulling another down one builds ones self up.
 It may interest readers to know the compensation received by French jour nalists. For the year ending at the date when I saw Villemessant his share of the earnings of his journal was 100000 francs, or some $500 The person in charge of the city department is paid 50,000 francs; the chief reporter, 10000; the manager, 30, 900. The critic is given an annual stipend of F, 1000, while other reporters are paid by the piece. If writer secures "'the leader" he is paid 25O francs for it, regardless of it's length. Other writers are paid from 4 sous e cents) to 20 cents line. It is thus seen that French writers are paid from three to five times as much as writers in this country; at least this was the fact when I visited Le Figaro, whatever it may be at the present date.
 People outside of Paris have no com prehension of the nature of journalistic sensation in that city. A bon mot, in three-line paragraph, will create more excitement and sell more papers than would a Cronin murder case, including the f. ding of the body and the detection and punishment of the criminals EoliutO, in Chicago Herald

PITH AND POINT.

It takes money to be fashionable. The poor man who gets into the swim is liable to get out of his depth
 The man who gives the shortest measure in this world will want the longest harp in the next.-The Golden i Perhaps.
 Good qualities, like great abilities, are incomprehensible and inconceivable to such as are deprived of them.-N. Y. i Ledger.
 If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been churches, and poor mems cottages Princes palaces. A mans ideal girl is one who does not know she is pretty, and then he spells his ideal by telling her she is.-. Atchison Globe.
 A man may be very great and very good, and then not attract the attention that horse-thief does.-Milwaukee Journal.
 With some men all the dollars arc copper cents when spent for themselves and gold eagles when spent for their families.-Farm Journal.
 All our plans don't get worked out the way we expect they will in this world, and it is mighty lucky for us too, that good many of them don't.-Som- ervill Journal.
 Mental alertness is a valuable quali- , ty; but there is certain commonplace sturdiness that is not at all brilliant, but which is indispensable to prolonged self-maintenance. A monument has value only as that for which it stands had value. Unless our lives are lived worthily, the more completely those lives are forgotten, the better it will he for our memory.-S. S. Times.
 The reading man is the successful man, as rule. He knows just how fast the world is progressing and he knows the methods of progress. A man can not keep up with the procession unless he knows what road the procession is going.
 Each man is required to do some i thing in behalf of the moral interests of ,is community. He will do this, of course, if he be good man, by the force 0f his example, but it should be part of his effort in life, positive and deter mined

 Mamma opened the door and-what do you think? It was the grocery man, and he began rolling in things into the hall. Such piles and piles of them! A whole barrel of flour, sweet potatoes, big turkey and-eCery hingf
 We just danced around the room we were so glad, and Bob almost made us crazy.
 But papa and mamma did act so queer! Papa just put his arm around mammals neck, and I do believe they both cried! 1 knO2c mamma did.
 The man said the things were sent by the railroad hands. We never knew be- fore that it had any hands, and we don't see how it can send things, if it has.
 But something beautifuller still came after that-the post-man brought it. Twas letter, and when papa opened it he found a paper in it that gave him pay for all the time since he was hurt
 Oh, it was just splendid! Mamma never sewed a speck all day. And I'm sure it was the best Thanksgiving that ever was! And we were all 80 happy
 Chris and I think it all came because we wrote that letter, but may be God told the railroad hands about it. We asked Him to help us, and mamma thinks He Gl'oGys answers when people ask Him for any thing.
 We all thanked Him for the things, anyway; and now every thing will be all right, for papa is going to work next week.-Julia D. Peck, in Youths Com naniOn

Introduction of Carriages.

When carriages were first used in En- gland they were called ''whirlcotes" and were used only by the ladies. The whirl- cote became unfashiOnable after Queen Anne showed the fashionable ladies of London how gracefully woman could sit on a side-saddle. Coaches were known in England in 1850, they having been in troduced from Germany by the Earl of Arundel. They came into general use among the nobility about the year 1905. The Duke of Buckingham was the first to ride in coach driven by six horses. To ridicule this pomp the Earl of Not tingham put eight to his. Coaches for let and hire, like those in modern Hv- ery-stables, first became the fashion in London in 1895 There were only twen- ty-one of them altogether at the princi- pal inns.-Notes and Letters.

LITTLE HONORA MUTUALLY.

Poor little HOnOra Mullally,
 At the close of the Thanksgiving Day, Was standing in front of her alley, A-w9tching some children at play. Her gown was wonderful garment, All patches from shoulder to hem, And her bat and her shOes-weI, I beg

 Any further remarks about them. But poor little HOnOra Mullally Had face just as bright as could be, And m flower in meadow or valley Was ever as pretty as she. And so thought an old woman, who, passing, Stopped a moment to smilingly say: ( Why, bless your dear heart, am sure you
 have had
 A very good dinner to-day" " Yis, indade," said HonOra Mullally, |" I did; for my friend Mrs. Down Had a hape of sweet-taters that Sallie, Her sister, baked lovely and brown, Wid-oh, maam, if you could but have seen The fattest and fOinist of hins, And they giv' me the gizzard' and neck of

the methods of American journalism, and asked some questions. When I re- lated to him the enormous outlays of many American newspapers for news, he said:
 "That seems to me absurd. What! Thousands of dollars for single dis patch!''
 ''Yes, often. The first-class American newspapers must have all the important occurrences of the entire world the day before, in each morning issue, regard less of expense"
 That is very droll! have no use for any such expense in Paris. Here, with half hundred competing rivals, I can often increase the circulation of Le Figaro up to 200, ,OOO copies without the expenditure of more than hundred francs"
 This was proved by the Figaro at the time when Bazaine made his escape. The Figaro published an exclusive ac- count which ran the circulation from so, 900 to 200, ,OOO. The entire article was less than half column. An Amer ican newspaper would have published a full page of a similar occurrence.
 Some further chat took place, and then the great redacteur, after present. ing me with his autograph, gave me a cordial grasp of the hand, and with many expressions of good will bowed me out.

THE BORROWING FAMILY.

Its pleasant to be neighborly
 Because it lessens sorrow And helps along that family
 Who live on what they borrow, That you are proud to be their friend They haven't any doubt of; They also think you like to lend The things they're always out of. Their servants come with cups and pails For groceries forgotten; The daughters borrow shawls and vatls And scissors, pins and cotton. The mother borrows books to read And kettles, pots and dishes, And things she knows you surely need, Regardless of your wishes. Tho father your lawn mower breaks, And spells your tools forever, Of your tobacco he partakes,
 And steals your papers clever. The children come with diligence And faces far from sunny, With please lend mamma fifty cents Till pa comes home with money" ' Although the things that you supply Will be returned "to- morrow" You, when you want them, have to buy Anew or-likewise borrow. We like this happy family,
 They make our pleasures double; For while they borrow all they see, They never borrow trouble.

ZETETIC PHILOSOPHY.
One of It's Disciples Tries to Prove That
 the Earth Is Flat.

One of It's Disciples Tries to Prove That
 the Earth Is Flat.
 The Zetetic philosophy, which proves absolutely and without a shadow of doubt that the earth is plane and not planet, has in it no theories, but estab- 'ish7G its conclusions upon facts alone. Many of these fact arc Of such a nature that not to know all about them will soon bo deemed sign ul ignorance. The people should know that the sur face of standing ter IS level whether it be in the form of pond a lake, g canal, a sea or gl ocean. and that it people, in consequence of false teacn- ing, believe it to be curved; that in no surveyors operations in the construction of railroads, tunnels, or canals is any allowance" made for the curvature" of the earth's surface, although the books tell us that it is necessary; that the view from a balloon in the air is that of flat earth and not of globe; that the river Para quay in 300 miles does not fall foot that for the last 500 miles the Amazon falls but 10 feet 6 inches-and that the Nile in 1000 miles falls but foot.
 Sailors can see the light at Cape Hat teras forty miles out at sea, whereas on the globe theory it ought to be more than 900 feet below the level line of light; strain your eyes as you please, you can never see ship coming ''up." for at the farthest distance that you can by any means see ship it is on level with the eye; the horizon always rises on and on just as you rise on; if the mariner were to take globe" with him with which to navigate the ocean he would wreck his ship; meridans are straight lines diverging from the central north toward the south in all directions hori- zontally-''parallel of latitude" only are circles-and on globe the pointing of compass north and south is clearly impossible; sailing westerly is sailing round horizontally with the north star on your right hand, and sailing easterly is sailing in the same horizontal mode with the north star on your left-and all the money in the United States treasury would not buy proof of so much as the bare possibility of sailing down globe, under globe, and up the other side!-Carpenter's Folly.

Tho Mexican wasp is built entirely for business. He is over two inches long when he is of age, and is about the color of a bay horse. His plunger IS a full inch long and as fine as spiders web. Unlike the stinger of common bee, the stinger of the Mexican wasp is non-forfeitable. He doesn't give up after one lunge, but has it always ready for an all-day job if necessary. The mls- sion of the Mexican wasp seems Go be merely to hunt up people and run that stinger of his into them. The natives say that he will go ten miles out of his way to get whack at person The natives seem to get fat on snake bites, centipede bites and scorpion stings, but if they discover one of these wasps in their neighborhood they hunt for cover without delay.
