I'm Roaming The r-ar away.

I'm roaming now, the far away;
I'm hid in sweets of time that's gone.
I'm back into the dew and dawn,
And bud and bloom of childhood's day.
I'm back beneath the threshold tree,
Where hands of tender wooing may
Shake from the boughs in sportivs play,
A show'r of fiow'rs over me.
A show'r of fiow'rs with hearts of pink,
With feath'ry petals, white as death,
That move with ey'ry breeze's breath,
Like little revelers gay with drink.
Yes, move about like things of life,
And sad as human souls bereft
OF virtues jewel and then left,
Where inhumanity is rife.
I'm back DER withered leaves and lorn,
Back where brown feet of gladness chase
Joys butterflies in merry race,
And bright eyed, whIte-robed hope is born
Back to the door of rapiure's goal.
Back where contentment faunts and fling
Her spanglsd banner, and loud sings,
Aud trums the lute-strings of the soul

The Chinese and the Human Body.

Both savage and semi-barbarous
people have always exhibited great
r-pugnance to any surgical operation,
however necessary, which involves am
mutation. Ghe North China Herald,
IN commenting upon this circumstance,
polnts out that the Chinese have always
shown this Iepugnance, not on account
of fear OF pain, for they are patient
under all kinds of physical suffering,
but because they look upon 1t as duty
TO keep the body intact. Ii they sub
NIT to the amputation of limb, they
invariably ask for the severed member,
and keep 1t in a box, to be buried In
due time with the owner. Sometimes
thew will actually eat it, thinking 1t
only right that that which has been
taken from the body should be returned
to II. On the same principle an ex-
tracted tooth viii be carefully preserved
or ground to powder and swallowed In
water. Another curious phase or the
idea is seen in behalf that sick par
.nt can be cured by broth made from
flesh cut from living child, and II Is
looked up N as a sign OF hlial piety for
the child to submit himself TO an opera
tion for that purpose

The report OF the Massachusetts,
commission appointed last year to look
into the subject Of grade crossings In
that State and their gradual abolition
Is a highly interesting document. 1t
shows that there are 22S0 crossings at
grade, 1898 Of which are unprotected
in any manner, and 74s overhead or
underneath crossings. During the ten
Years previous to January 1, 1889,
seventy-fve crossings were abolished
aud l55 created. The commissioners
est mate that the cost OF doing away
with all the grade crossings In MasSa-
ehusets would reach s4s, ,13i, GOO, and
they recommend that law be passed
requiring railroads to abolish apercent-
age OF these nuisancss each year, meas
ured according to their income. Luz
evil must be one of great magnitude
when such an enormous expenditure Oh
money is needed for It's abatement, ana
accordingly the sooner the task o.
removing it IS begun the better, nos

AN OLD NAN sauntered into the Cir

and at once attracted attention on ac-
count OF a great growth of hair on his

was SO years old. He left Nantucket

expected TO return in year or so.
Before leaving he told his relatives that

Rhine Wine Scarce

The annual wine auctions which
have lately been held In Germany
show that coed Rhine wines are unpre-
scarce, and therefore prices
have run very high, even for the sound
table wines which are habitually drank
in German families All the wines OF
the 1880 vintage are already III the
hands of the trade, and the growers
have no stock on hand except las.
Years wines, and a great quantity even
of these has been Sold The prospects
of Z le vintage are favorable, ooth on

The Harvest Moon.

The "harvest moon" is SO called from
the fact that in the early autumn days
when grain and fruit are being taken
from the fields, there is scarcely any
darkness intervening between the clio e
of day and the beginning of night
The moon rises early ahd gives bril-
liant light, by means of which the har-
vesters work until late at night 10
secure the crops. The harvest moon
has long been afavorite theme with the
poets.

A dispatch from Washington, dated
the 9Th inst, says the following petition
was laid before the .. S. senate that day
by president pro tenn. ingalls,:
To the Honorable Senate and House
of Representatives: Your humble pc
titioner would respectfully beg that
your honorable body pass the bill intro
luced by Senator Butler, empowering
the commissioners OF Whitman county,
Washington territory, to issue bonds not
to exceed 100000 to build courthouse
and jail in the town of Colfax. Now,
your petitioner most humbly prays that
YOU double-dose and give them the priv
ilege to raise 100000. 1t will take
this amount to keep the county seat
down in this hole, and while YOU are
about it give us $4,000 more to build a
balloon to get down to the county-seat,
and your petitioner will ever pray, etc.

Mortie Moulton and the measles have
been having quite combat, but the la
test report is that the measles are on top.
Three good subjects for the study Of

They were only boys, but seemed to be
old in experience as their conversation
was of an exciting nature.
Crane Morrison and his father re-
turned from the East last Saturday
evening. Crane brought with him a

is very good judge. He set 'em mp TO
the boys, and went his way rejoicing.
