THE HARVEST MOON.
Charles Archer of the Park Theatre as a.
Popular Poet


Popular Poet. #
Great Falls has poet. 1t is not gen
orally known that some of the mostpo
lar songs Of the day have been written by
Charles Archer of the Park Theatre. He
he has the rare knack Of hitting the
popular taste. Accordingly when his
songs are we'll sung, they elicit hearty
applause and are encored from the
Atlantic to the Pacific when rendered by
the travelling companies which enliven
the variety theatres by their imperson-
ations and songs. "Never too Late to
Mend" which was written by Archer, is
sung nightly to large houses at the Park
theatre. Appended is another popular
song by Archer, which is something in
the same vein as the Swearing of the
Green" the "Cruiskeen Laun" and other
songs which Boucicault either wrote
himself or introduced in his plays:
THE GLOWING HARVEST MOON.
Twas across the broad Atlantic
In Old Ireland's isle Of green,
Once stood a cozy cottage,
Mid glorious sylvan scene.
Twas there in boyhood's happy days,
trod the path Of love
With bonnie black-eyed Mary,
Pure and gentle as dove.
Those sweet, quiet summer evenings
We'd together while away,
Bright daylight slowly dying
In the twilight, birds at play,
So darkness came upon us
And amid the gathering gloom,
We kissed, for no one saw US
But the glowing harvest moon.
CHORUS
Bright harbinger Of plenty,
Thy presence flies too soon,
My dearest friend has ever been
The glowing harvest moon.
Days labor oyer, nightly
To my love would repair,
While the stars above shone brightly,
Sleepy nature smiles so fair.
So we sat beside the river
That flowed onward to the sea,
Twas the only thing that murmured
At our love, twixt you and me.
But such dreams of peaceful pleasure
From our lives at last have fled
For my artless blaek-eyed Mary
SAUNDERS quietly with the dead.
Yet across the broad Atlantic,
Every year time the gloom,
And see the first glad rising
OF the glowing harvest moon.
have wandered ore this wide world,
/ have sailed from shore to shore,
have clambered over mountains,
Where none have climbed before.
Mid the stiffness Of the desert
Or the glamour Of the plain,
MY heart still lives in Ireland
With my Mary true again.
And when the days grow shorter,
And all sons of earth are glad,
My heart in memory turning
To the past, seems ever sad.
The eternal link that binds me,
To the rose that dropped too soon,
To the one yearly watch for,
IT'S the glowing harvest moon.

The Old story.

During Patrick Sarsfeld Gilmore's jubi-
lee concert recently a young woman who
was in the crowd that vas politely bat
ting for a chance to get tickets for re-
served seats gave a scream. Somebody,
she said To the officer who came up, had
stolen her purse. Pickpockets don't usu-
ally get past the vigilant eyes of the de-
t~ectives employed TO guard Manhattan
beach, and the officer was incredulous.
Perhaps you lost 1t, madam" he said.
"No. indeed" replied the woman;
some one In that crowd tool It from my
pocket"

land it contained $50 In bills and some
silver. Luckily, I've got my return

She stuck her hand in her pocket. and
a look Of blank amazement stole over
her face. The ticket was gone, too. The
woman did not burst into tears, as might
have been expected. but she was very in
dignan., and threatened to sue the hotel.
A critical examination Of the faces in the
crowd convinced the officer that there
was no thief there.
"Now we will investigate" he said.
The woman followed him into the east
end Of the piazza, where the railroad

of this was a bulletin board with the leg

BIN. Lined Envelope..

"Why are these envelopes blue on the
insidef" was the query put to a s~tationer
the other day.
"For a very simple reason" was the
reply. lone of the great results to be
attained in making envelopes is to pre-
vent transparency. Many white papers
are SO transparent that by careful scru-
tiny the contents OF such envelopes may
be d~eterrn,ned. For instance. let us put
a sheet of paper with writing on it into
this envelope. Let us also insert q bank
cficck. We sih nee %sai o. ana boid q
TO the light thus. .rere you can not
only see the bank heck, but you can
also read many of the words on the sheet
of paper. This can be prevented either
by getting a very thick and high priced
envelope which is not transparent, mol
scarcely translucent, or by taking a
cheaper grade Of paper which is blue on
one side. Now we sell quite a number
Of blue envelopes, that is, envelopes
which are blue on the outside; but mos,
people do o like them for their color.
So, to get over the difficulty and still
not make a high priced article, we use
paper which Is blue on one side and
white on the other. Exchange.

AssyriaH Christisns.

The Ashiret Assyriansare wild and I'M
tutored In their habits and customs.
Their Christianity consists in little more
than a passionate clinging to a faith they
do not comprehend, and which from this
very fact Is powerless to influence their
morals. Not only are there no schools
among them, but their clergy are incapa-
BILE Of in~structing their fiocks in the rudi-
ments OF religion; some Of them are quite
unable to conduct a service, others can
repeat the important parts by heart,
while a few can read the ancient manu-
scripts, which are still In daily use
throughout the country because there are
no printed books.
1t Is comparatively rare to find a priest
who can both read and write with facil-
ity; all other learning is absolutely want
ing. Only during the winter months,
when the snow blocks the entrances to
the mountains, when all agriculture Is at
q standstill and Kurdish attacks become
impossible, could these Ashirets give
their minds to education.
The Rev. w. III. Browne, of the Arch
bishop of Canterbury's mission, has been
able TO make q very small beginning In
this direction. During the rest of the
year the people till their ground and
pasture their fiocks armed to the teeth,
ready to repel the attacks Of which they
live in constant dread. Indeed, the Ash
iret Assyrians are in the position of a
beleaguered garrison in a siege which is
never raised: an unending succession Of
assaults and sorties leaves them neither
time nor inclination 3 o think Of more
peaceful matters.
Their whole conversation is limited to
three subjects-guns. the Kurds and the
harvest. On M occasion during my
journey through the Ashiret valleys in
1885, after vainly trying to interest a
chief in conversation, it occurred to me
that a description of the Maxim u
might arouse him. The mans face bright
ened at the relation of the marvellous
powers of the weapon, and when l had
finished he said: "Ah. If we only had a
gun like that we should not fear the
Kurdsl No man could make such q gun
1t must have been invented by tn. angelsl"

Incidents I'm AIexsnder Hamiiton's Life.
Before Alexander wss 10 years Of age
he was placed in the Office of a West In

and developed a remarkable business ca
pacity. He gained his first lesson In
composition from writing business letters
for the firm, and these letters are said to
be remarkable for one 80 young. He
also contributed TO the press. at q time
giving an account Of n hurricane that
visited the island, which was so wildly
described as to attract attention 1t was
considered that something must be done
for so bright a boy with a view to Civ
ing him an education. His friends and
relatives furnished the funds and he was
sent to America, where he arrived In
1772, landing at Boston, whence he pro-
ceeded to New York. After a brief
course of study at Elizabethtown, N. j.,
he entered Kings college (now Colum-
bal.
The mutterings Of the American Revo-
luton were then being first heard. Ham
ilton was naturally at first on the side Of
the mother country, but a study Of the
wrongs of the colonists converted him,
and he was eager for q chance to speak
upon their side. He did not have long
to wait for an opportunity. A meeting
Of citizens was called TO take place In
the fields neal the college building on
the 9th of July, 1774- While this meet

struggling towards the platform. When
he arrived there he mounted IT, the
crowd shouting, "a collegianl A cole

mere had or ~, poured forth an eloquent
speech in behalf of the rights of the
colonies.
After this, Hamilton advocated the
cause with his pen as well as with his
tongue. He vas Don called upon to add
the sword. In the spring of 1770, when
10 years Of age, he took command of an
artillery company of New York, and dis
tinguished himself at Long Island and
White Plains by his gallantry as COM
mander of this company. Then Gen.
Greene, whose attention was attracted
to the young soldier, procured for him a
position on Washington's staff.
The most important task which fell to
Hamilton while aid-de-camp to the
commander-in-chie was a mission to
Albany to obtain troops from Gen. Gates
after the Burgoyne campaign; a task
which by his firmness and tact he car
ried through successfully. While on
this mission he met and courted Miss
Elizabeth Schuyler. of a powerful New
York family, to whom he was married

Who knows why birds sleep standing
on one leg, The position seems most un-
natural. Reasoning In advance, we should
pronounce II a tiresome, IL not impossi-
BILE, attitude. Yet the canary tucks Its
head under Its wing, draws up one foot,
and goes to sleep, apparently with quite
as much comfort as we exp~erienceon the

The writer once rode q mare seventy
miles in a single day. The stable in which
she was put for the night was as COM
Portable as it could well be made, but she
stood up all night long. She ate her oats
and hay and then went to sleep, leaning
forward with her breast against the

There are horses that have never been

their having done SO eve been found
upon their bodies. I recall one that for
fifteen years occupied a particular stall
In my grandfather's stable. Up to the
hour he died no one ever saw him lying
down, although special watch was some
times kept after he had been driven for
eight or ten hours.
Unless a horse lies down regularly his
rest cannot be complete, and his joints
and sinews stiffen. 1t is true that some
horses that always sleep in a standing
position continue to work for many
years, but 1t is equally true that they
would live longer and work better il
they rested naturally.
Young horses from the country are
liable to refuse TO lie down when first
put into q stable In town, and the in
furious habit may become confirmed un.
less special pains are taken to induce q
change.
The indisposition to lie down is often
very pronounced in sick horses. They
seem to have an instructive fear that II
they lie down they may be able tc
rise, and continde on their feet till theil
limbs refuse to bear them up.
