ONE DAY AT A TIME.


One day at a timel That's all it can be;
No aster than that is the hardest fate,
And the days have their limits, however we
Begin them too early and stretch them too
late.
One day mt a timel
It's wholesome rhyme;
A good one to live by,
day ut time.
One day at time! Every heart that aches,
Knowing only too well how long they can
seem:
But it's never to-day which the spirit breaks
It's the darkened future, without II CLEAN.
One day at time What Joy is at height
Such JOY as the heart can never forget
And pulses are throbbing with wild delight,
How hard to remember that suns must set.
One day at a time. But a single day,
Whatever its load, whatever les length;
And there's bit of precious Scripture to say
That, according to each, shall be our
strength.
One day at time, It's the whole Of lie;
All sorrow, all joy are measured therein;
The bound OF our purpose, ournoblest STRIFE,
The one only countersign sure to win.
One day at a timcl
It's wholesome rhymel
good one to live by,
A day at time.

A Story of a Cave.
rnI. Rrnrn

Exploration just made Of a cavern on
The Stewart farm, about two miles from
Damascus, Armstrong county, has re-
vealed subterranean passages of a some
what remarkable character. The en-
trance is a perpendicular opening about
20 feet in depth. At the bottom the
place had the appearance of an inverted
cone, with about one-third of the apex
and part of the side cut off, and measur-
ing about "a feet at the base. The walls
are of dark gray color, rather smooth.
From here corridor about 4 feet wide
and feet high leads for several yards
to room where the light reveals scene
of grandeur. Stalagmites and stalactites
are in profusion, and in shapes and forms
to almost equal those of the Mammoth
cave.
The chamber is about 90 feet long by
80 feet wide, and the furthest end termi-
mates in deep pool of water. This
pond is perhaps 10 feet wide. The wa
ter is pure as crystal No living thing
was seen by the explorers except pecul-
iarly striped crustacean animal about 1
inch in length, resembling a crab, but of
a dull yellowish color. The temperature
registered about SO dogs. In one corner
of the first cavern were found few
specimens of arrow heads and an iron
knife, but nothing else to denote that a
human being had ever entered before.
Further than the pool exploration was
not made. A complete investigation
Will be undertaken by persons who have
secured the land "

Wild Animal Dealers.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-lf you want to
BUY brand new anaconda or a second
hand tiger do you know where to go for
1t? In New York there are two estab-
ishments devoted exclusively to this odd
industry. One is in North William
street, near Park row, and the other in
Roosevelt street, not far from the New
Bowery. They are both pleasant and
unpleasant places to visit. On the one
hand are the rare animals which go to
the different museums and geological
collections of the country, but which as
an entirety are never seen together in
any one. On one occasion one of these
animal depots had two flying foxes. a
wombat, three kinds of armadilIos. an
ant bear, an iguana, a sloth, a kangaroo,
a ierboa and n musk doc. So-tlIe other
depot had one time forty different kinds
of monkeys and fifty of snakes.
The disagreeable element arises from
the carelessness of the workmen that
comes from long familiarity with dan
gerous animals. One day when party
of ladies were asking the price of bird
in the window from the cashier who sits
behind high desk, they were more than
startled when he replied, 81 beg your
pardon. Jacob! That black snake is
out again and crawling up my leg.
Come here and take him back to his
cage" The ladies did not wait for fur
Their reply.
Not long ago a boa-constrictor in the
same place escaped from his box, glided
through the open door. and for half
hour held Park Row and City Hall park
all to himself. Incidents such as these
are apt, as Mark Twain says, to dis
courage visitors CT nervous tempera-
ment. These places supply Balnum's
and Forepaugh's, as well as thn menag-
cries and museums.

The Question of Contagion.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.l

An exchange makes light of the idea
that there may be danger in the tubes
OF the monograph. 1t holds that there
Is no danger in the BARRIERS chair or the
wash room or door handles, etc. The
same shaving utensils are used for diff
ferent men, the same towels, and all
sorts of people handle the same door
knobs and no harm is done. How did
the exchange learn that, through,these
and other means Of connection, disease
was never conveyed?
Did the exchange never hear of the
BARRIERS itch? Do not unaccountable
sores appear upon men of pure blood
and correct habits? How are cholera
and smallpox and yellow fever and skin
diseases conveyed? In the case of the
monograph there is no danger SO long
as the instrument is private one, as
there is none where ones own shaving
utensils and towels only are used. But
the public monograph which is operated
by the nickel-in-the-slot process is a diff
ferent matter. The two prongs are not
only handled, but thrust into the ears as
close to the drum as possible, and put
i1Vo many pairs Of ears daily. There
