Famous Amazons Of pnhomer.

The Republic of France is at war
with the King of Dahomey. and a
French newspaper published the infor-
nation that battle had been fought, in
which eight comblt were Killed and
many wounded. The interesting fact in
the dispatch lay in the last lines
"Among the deal were found some of
the female warriors of the King OF Da-
honey" Who are these Amazons2
About one fourth of the females are
said to be married to the fetish, many
even before their birth, AMI the re.
mainder are entirely at the disposal OF
the King. The most favored are select
ed as his own wives, or enlisted
into the regiments. of Amazons, and
then the chief men are literally sup
Piled.
The Amazons form the flower Of the
army. They are marshalei into regi-
ments, each with its distinctive uniform
and badges, and they take the post of
honor on the flanks Of the battle line.
Their number has been variously esti-
mated at from one to six thousand.
Their weapons are blunderbus es, fnt
muskets and bows and arrows. They
are in part recruited in a remark liable
manner. If a woman in Dahomey has
an acrid temper, or if her husband
wants TO get rid of her, he honors him
self by presenting her to the King, who,
if she has the requisite physical qualif-
Cations, turns her over to his army Off
GERS to be drilled as an Amazon.
1t is said that at the death of the
King horrid scene easues. The wives,
after the most extravagant demonstra-
tions of grief, attack and murder each
other, and remain in an uproar until
order is restored by the new sovereign.

Forever Young.

The wild world hastens on its way;
The gray-haired century nears its close;
Its sorrow deepens day by day;
The summer blush foTsakes the rose.
But, darling, while your voice | hear,
And while your dark brown eyes see,
Sad months and sunless seasons drear
Are all the same, all glad to me.
Despair can never reach me,
While your soft hand hold;
While your eyes love and teach me
never shall grow old.
They say that love forsakes the old,
That passion pales and fades awav:
That even loves bright locks ofgold
Must lose their charms and change to gray.
But, darling, while your heart is mine,
And while feel that you are true
For me the skies will ever shine
With summer light and tenderest blue.
Yes, let old age deride mel

Dear love, with you beside me,
