THE ADVENTURE OF ADAY.

Two friends who wander by the shore
Look not upon the self same seas,
Bearing two voices in the roar,
Because Of different memories.
Ror him whose love the sea hath drowned
It means the music Of his wrong;
Eor him whose life with love is crowned
It breaks upon the beach In song
u. D. S.
To many Of US life Is not unlike the alpha
bet game Of anagrams We are given few
letters, and out Of them wespell what we can.
Sometimes we fail entirely; fate gives us
all consonants; or, If we have yowels also,
we are stupid and do not see combinations,
and it is confusion to the end. Sometimes
we get the wrong word, and find "eviln where
we should have spelled ''liye.n Such mis-
takes give false keynote, and our days never
come into tune as they should; but, good or
bad, life allows us to do our own spelling.
When John Elliot was three-aud-twenty
an uncle died and left him $500 In itself
$500 is not to be despised, but it is always too
much or too little FOR a working basis For
a year John reflected on the question what
he should do with it, and then ho decided to
60 to Europe. The matter seemed simple
enough to him. As a capital for business the
legacy was meager, and it was too much to
fTitter away in fractions. If he kept il for a

wanted. A National Air,

America is as yet unprovided with a national
air possessing the breadth and dignity worthy
of a great country. There are several tunes
that by force of association have been adopted
in lieu Of a melody worthy of the dignity.
Hail Columbia is a weak and colorless
production. "The Star Spangled Banner'' is
suggestive Of a horse parade in a circus. "My
Maryland" is an old German air of no strik-
ing merit, "My Country It's Of Thee is
adapted to the English national air God
Save the Queen Then we have "Dixie, an
old negro tune; "John Brown" an old camp
meeting effusion, and the inappropriate
"Ynnkee Doodle
The time has now arrived for some Of our
native musicians to devote their best energies
to the production Of an air that shall be
worthy Of the occasion and typical of this
great nation. Musical Herald.

Nervous individuals may derive all the fat
thoy need from sugar and starch. 1t is better,
however, for those with weak digestive or
gans, or whose nerves are in highly sensi-
tive state, to get it from tho animal kingdom
than compel their enfeebled stomachs, intes-
tines and pancreas to create it out of these
articles Good bread, sweet butter and meat
arc the best foods for the nerves.
People troubled with insomnia, nervous
starting from sleep and sensations of falling
can often be cured by limiting themselves to
a diet of milk alone for time. An adult
should take a pint for a meal, and take four
meals daily. People with weakened nerves
require, usually, a larger quantity of water
than those whose brains and nerves are
strong 1t aids in the digestion of food by

the new is finer smoother, more expensive

PrievalsIsy's Death.

An interesting account is given Of the last
hours Of Prievalsly, the Russian explorer

Mr.. Robarowsly. Knowing that death was
inevitable, be made some final arrangements,
and asked whether he would live till the morn

head, he remarked: "Then the rest

II we had known In that brief dream Of gladness
When love and hope were young and life was
sweet
That we should live our lives In lonely sadness
And end them in the anguish Of defeat
If we had known, when flowers smiled on our
morning,
How soon those flowers would be forever dead
How soon the sun, whose splendor crowned each
dawnlng,
Would rise on blighted hopes and visions fed
II we had known. when our "Good-by" was
spoken,
That we should never meet on earth again,
wonder vaguely would our hearts, half broken,
Have shFlink In terror from such bitter paint
II we had knownl-ah, well, we did not know It,
And so our love died out forever moro
Unless, perchance some distant dawn may show Il
still fair and changeless on some happier shore;
Where Qike harp that mourns IN silent sorrow
The vanished hand" that left It's music mute,
And yet may wake 70 life and song to morrow,
And yield to Art It's wealth Of golden fruiD.
It lives-the love that for a space was given,
But slept too soon because it was TOO sweet
To dpen In the sunshine Of that heaven
Where Joy Is infinite and bliss complete.

walked all the way to Boston in the hope Of
interesting Boston people to start factory
there. While in Boston he was asked to go
around the corner to see a wonder-it was q

Are we going back from iron to stonei
The managers Of the Pennsylvania railroad
have resolved to rebuild all its bridges Of
short span in brick or stone, instead Of iron.
1t is argued that the weight Of locomotives
has increased so much Of late years that iron
bridges, which were built with large mar
gin Of safety, are now dangerously tried by
the trains passing over them, and the ex-
pense Of inspection and repair of iron bridges
represents a large interest ON their cost
For these reasons tho engineers on the road
have decided that brick or stone arches,
although much more expensive in the first
instance, than iron trusses, will be cheaper,
as well as safer, in the end.-Boston Tran
