the "Namovna," it was the vessel that bore
Haydee; and, instead of the Princess, it
was Haydee herself.
Led on probably by "Matteo''-whoever

by her beauty and her wealth, the crew
mutinied and slew the captain and the

plunged into the sea and was drowned; and

CHILDISH ASPIRATIONS.

It was years ago on a summer day,
Three children sat by the brook at play;
By the brook where the grass grew tall ant
rank,
And the willows swayed on the quiet bank.
Where the oak trees waved their branches
green,
And the sunbeams fell like gems between;
While the birds that sang In the greenwood
tree
Had no lighter hearts than the children three
All the day long their feet had strayed
In the fsafy paths in the beech-t-ee's shade;
TIL tired at last, and with heat oppressed,
They sank on a moss-grown mound to rest,
And there in the quiet green retreat
They wove their flowers in garlands sweet;
n mid the shadows Trim and still
They planned a future, as children VIII.

IN the battles front TIL boldly ride:
| A captain brave and true I'll be,
And lead my hosts TO victory;
The foe in terror will from me flee,
AconQuering hero I will be-

And all who speak shall give me praisa"
The next began, and this spake she:

Men and Women Who Give All Their
Thoughts to Dress.
II it were not for clothes a great part OF
the world would nave nothing to do, and
nothing to think about. Clothes are to some
what books n pictures and bric-a-brac,
music, poetry and conversation are to 9th
ers. They take the place of metaphysics,
astronomy and psychological research. Pos
sibly it may require as much thought to
plan a reception gown as to calculate an
eclipse, especially when the purse is slen-
der; to imagine a new shape for a bonnet, q
new drapery, a new trimming, as to invent
q philosophical solution of the universe or
to compose a symphony; but the mind is
more enlarged and enriched by the one than
by the other. We do not exactly want to
live for clothes, to satisfy our souls with
u material things, although many are
apparently content to give ali their
leisure and thoughts to them, and are no
sooner off with the cid clothes than they
are ON with the new. They always nave a
dress-maker in the house and shopping on
hand. Their literature is fashion reports.
They have no interests to speak of apart
from this frivolous pursuit, or none SO
great, so absorbing. Happiness for such
people consists in O wardrobe where no
omission can be detected. But let it not be
supposed that this alteration of clothes is q
peculiarly feminine taait, although many
believe so. Are not Top and coxcomb both
in the masculine gender, and is there any
feminine synonym for thema OF course 1t
may be urged that men have nobler occu-
pations which consume their time, that their
minds are not so narrow as to be agitated

Mary's Lamb.

Mary had q little lamb, its fleece
was white as snow it strayed away
one summer day where lambs
should never 60. Then Mary sat
down and tears streamed from her
pretty eyes she never found her
lamb because she did not advertise.
And Mary had a brother John, who
kept a village store he sat down
and smoked his pipe, and watched
the open door. And as the people
passed along, but did not stop and
buy, John still sat down and smok-
ed his pipe and blinked his sleepy
eye. And 80 the sheriff closed him
out, but still he fingered near, and
Mary came to drop with him q
sympathizing tear. "Hew is it,
sister, that these other merchants
here, sell all the goods and pay
their bills, and thrive from year to
year," Remembering now her
own bad luck, the little maid re-
plies: These ether fellows get
there, John, because they adver-
tisa.

THE VETERINARY SURGEON
BILL,
Secretary Lesueur Makes an Ell,
PLANTATION Of the APP
preparation.

JEFFERSON Cry, Mo-, Sept. 81
Frequent inquiries have been re-
ceived lately by Secretary of State
Lesueur as to the appropriation
made by the last Legislature for
carrying into effect the act pre-
scribing the powers and duties Of
the State Veterinary Surgeon. In
reply to a request for information
upon this subject the Secretary to-
night said
"There seems to be a general
impression that this appropriation
was contained in the State Uni
versity bill or else was inserted
in some one of the appropriation
bills. Neither is the case. Hon.
Cyrus F. Clark, member from Au-
drain county, introduced the bill
revising and amending the veteri-
nary surgeons law, and added to
it a section making the necessary
appropriations for the next two
years. That bill was duly passed
and signed by the Governor onApril
26. Later the University commit
tee introduced Mr.. Clark's bill
without the appropriation section
in the bill revising and amending
the State University law: and that
act was approved with an emergen-
cy clause May % Therefore, the
veterinary surgeons act was twice
passed, once with an appropriation
attached and again as a portion of
the State University law without
the appropriation.
"rhe section of Mr.. Clark's bill
omitted from the University bill
reads as follows: Section %
There is hereby appropriated the
sum of $1,000 per annum, or so
much thereof as may be necessary
for the payment ofthe expense in
Cured in the discharge of the du-
ties ofState Veterinary Surgeon and
his duties, including five hundred
dollars $500 per annum for the
portion of the State Veterinary Sur
geon's salary, probably out of this
appropriation; five dollars ($5) per
diem for the deputy veterinary sur
geons; the pay of inspectors or
agents, expenses of clerical assist
ance when necessary and the
travelling and incidental expenses
necessarily incurred in the enforce
ment of the State law appointing a
veterinary surgeon, and defining
duties to suppress contagious dis
eases. This appropriation, or SO
much thereof rs may be needed,
shall be paid to the treasurer of the
State Agricultural College, or the
treasurer of the State University
and Agricultural College, if said
treasurer be one and the same, and
shall be paid out, on proper war
rant of the Board of Curators, as
provided by law. There is also
hereby appropriated, for the pur-
pose of paying damages for ami
mails diseased and slaughtered I'M

Was all one and the Same to him.
Onward he walked, head down, the pict-
ure Of self-absorbeds sorrow.
A lonely pine-tree stood back some dis
lance from the shore. Seating himself be-
meath it, he buried his face in his hands.
Wearied and worn out in body and soul.
was it any wonder that he should pass from
these gloomy day-dreams into the kindly
realms Of sleeps And so it was, for he
slept; yet, ever and anon, moaned, or sighed
In his sleep.
Stealthily the sea-tide rose. The careless
imot slipped from its anchoring stone and
The loosened boat slid gradually back from
b shore and drjfted far out to sea.
A snow-white owl whirred softly over the
head Of the sleeper, and by and by startled
the quiet night with her weired 'STu-whitI
Tu-whul p that echoed far among the pines
Of the wood.
Afterwards, q large red fox came boldly
up, but seeing the alarming spectacle Of q
human figure ~crouching down under the
fr, turned quickly about and scurried back,
in fright, to the forest.
Last Of all, when the moon reached the
zenith, a strange, dark bird came flying
,wearily toward the pine and, as if exhausted,
sank down to rest on the topmost boughs.
OF singular form and plumage, it looked
and acted as If lost on unfamiliar coasts.
Then all was silent, until the dreamer
moaned. Startled, the bird looked down
and, finally, few to a lower branch whence
it could see every thing below.
Again the unhappy man moved in his
sleep and sighed.
The bin turned its head to one side with
half-human look, and with a wllolly-hu-
imam shrek, wild and shrill, spread its
wings and few back in the darkness to-
ward the wood.
