DAYS.

a group OF angels near me draw.
aneir faces strangely different
1acn wore the look Of discomfort.
.Oh whence and who are ye," said.
mat come like spirits Of the dead
10 visit one whose heart is gay
And null OF happiness to-day.
why are your faces all SO sad
When am thus content and glady~
Then answered they with mournful cries:
we are TUNED back nom Paradise;
Inc ghosts OF misspent days are we
VINO walk the world of memory,
Days are We Of thine idle youth
When thou didst first encounter truth;
But prone to waste the precious hours,
OF try their undeveloped powers,
Didst close thine eyes to IL, and, blind,
Grope in the gardens OF the mind;
Days OF thy life when life did seem
As unimportant rs dream:
When thou didst wander by the brooks
And leave behind thy slate and books
And give thy thoughts to fOoliShness,
Ana for the great accept the less.
Dost thou not still remember how,
High purpose seated on thy brow,
Thou didst one hour con Natures text
But to forget It in the next!
Or now, with G0d-given wings
my mind did seek but earthly thingA
though Heaven unto 1t did ope
To welcome In thy dearest hooper,
Cease. cease" cried, land is there mona
To comfort me for good deeds done:
Not always hath my mind in mirth
Loitered among the things Of earth,
But oft hath scared to Heavens height
In unprecedented flight:
And though it often. but to fail,
Hath striven Wisdom's wall to scale,
Surely endeavor shall not win
The penalty Of sloth and SIM
Again they spoke: The days OF all
Thy faithful strivings. great or small
God hath remembered. and those are
The bright names on His calendar:
And those are they who watch and wait
In vain for rs At Heavens gate"
They vanished then. and in their place
Came one with gladness in the face,
And smiled smile OF peace and rest
As though il brought glad behest;
And as gazed it nearer came
And spoke and called me by my name.

Or canst thou teach me how TO live

And merit Paradise 1t last:"
Then did the spirit thus reply:
The angel OF To-day am l.
Be Of good cheer and courage, friend,
bring thee comfort ere I wend
Alone my happy journey hence;
And thou shalt taste thy recOmpense.
And know that this day S honest thought
Hath me in JOY to Heaven brought"

What Influenced Kitty,

An extraordinary oat-story is told by
the Worcester Gazette. What 1t illus.
trates, we don't exactly know. II may
show the cats obedience to habit, or its
respect for superior strength. Perhaps,
as the Gazette suggests. it may exhibit
cats pity and generosity, though tho
chronic feline sclfshness makes this
last supposition doubtful:
A householder is the possessor Of two
Thomas cats, the elder of which has
never shown anything but self sh,
grasping disposition, while the young
er is the possessor of generous, hap
py spirit.
At meal-time the elder of these two
feline brothers has an unpleasant habit OF
forcing his junior to sit at second table,
in fact showing selfish and catty dis.
position.
His grcediness often excited the in
dignation of members of tho family,
and when, one day, the daughter Of the
house went to feed them, she took
Master Selfishncss by the nspe Of his
neck, and iptinsted to him that he
should wait few minutes, until the
other had had his dinner.
The younger astonished At the aud.
den turn affairs had taken. gazed as il
paralyzed at the feast thus spread bs.
fore him. His astonishment. however,
speedily gave place to pity; he could
not appreciate the justice Of this un.
usual division Of food.
Frasping In his jaws the largest
piece OF liver on tho plate. he hastened
to deposit II beneath the nose of his
captive brother, who made short work

period OF three months ut least The dispute
between the Southern Pacific and the Cana-

The Inter, though still refusing to abrogate
its differentinls entirely, agreed to reduce
them to the extent Of 25 to
35 per cent, which is greater
concession than was offered last week The
Southern Pacific accepted the proposition
OH trial for ninety days. agreeing to suspend
action on its notice of withdrawal during
that time. This restores harmony for the

WARRINGTON, Special Telegram. July 81
The seizure OF British eealer in Behring
sea settles all doubts a. to tire secret tustruc-
tions under which the revenue marine gun
beats were sent out. The public orders TO
the vessels have always been the same-to
enforce the law and prevent the catching OF
seal out Of season and out of the linlita
Many people believe that Mr.. Bayard's pacific
and waiting policy would be continued by
this administration, and that the pa,rolling
of Dehring sea would DO mere matter Of
form. This belief encouraged a large num-
Der Of piratical sealers to cruise in the sen,
and II the policy indicated by tho seizure OF
the Black Diamond 10 followed up, there will
probably be large number Of seizures
before the summer is over. It ia
not unlikely that this policy hos been
determined upon In order to force Great
Britain to consider the proposition for an in
ternational agreement Should claim for
damages ba made for the seizure OF the Ca

bring up discussion Of the merits OF the
case and open WY for the desired under

not anticipate any trouble over the seizure
OF the Black Diamond.
