he Maiden and the Fish

The Maiden and the Fish.
"There are fish in the sea quite as good" said the
maid,
AS any that ever were caught
And plentiful, too; and so greedy OF bait,
That they reck not with what it is fraught.
So saying she handled her rod as she sat
In the shade by the side of the brook,
And Smillingly unused, as she drew forth her line
And carefully baited her hook,
And gazed at the fishes that thronged at her feet
In the water there sporting in glee,
As If pleased to be drawn by hand fair as hers
From their home in the far-away sea.
Thus time glided on, and the maid and the fish
Passed their days in pleasant routine,
For the maid was amused by the fishes so fond,
And the fish deemed the maiden their queen.
Yet dallied the maiden with seeming delight,
Just little too high for the fishes to reach
At their many vain efforts to bite.
But after while with this trifiing maid r.
The fish grew impatient and said
bait,'' ..4
And away they hurriedly sped.
Now pondered the maiden awhile with regret
Ger the change which she saw in her fate,
Then called to the vanishing fishes: Come back, !"
But the fish only answered: Too late"
Then "Alas!" sighed the maid, there are fish in
the sea; .-.a.
But in sorrow this lesson I'm taught
That however so good they may be, there are times
When fish will refuse to be caught"

Growing Old.

1t is the solemn thought connected with
middle life, that life's last business is begun
in earnest and it is then, midway between
the cradle and the grave, that man begins to
marvel that the days of youth go by so half
enjoyed. 1t is the pensive autumn feeling; it
is the sensation of half sadness that we ex-
perience when the longest day of the year is
past, and every day that follows is shorter,
and the light fainter, and the feebler shadows
tell that Nature is Fastening with gigantic
footsteps to her winter grave. So does man
look down upon his youth. When the first
gray hairs become visible, when the unwel-
come truth fastens itself upon the mind that
man is no longer going up hill, but down.
and that the sun is always Wrestling, he looks
back on things behind. When we were
children, we thought as children. But now
there lies before US manhood with the earn
est work, and then old age, and then the
grave, and then home. There is second
youth for man, better and holier than his
first, If he will look on, and not look back.

FACTS ABOUT FISH.
A Number of Interesting Points Regare
ing the Finny Tribe.

A Number of Interesting Points Regare
ing the Finny Tribe.
Anglers generally agree on the subieG
of the sense of sight in fishes. A fist
can see in water, but not out of it.
The shadow of a split bamboo roc
thrown across pool will create in fsl
the same skittishness as would be caused
by an elephant browsing upon bank.
A passing cloud over a shallow and
pcllucid pool protects the angler and
puts another fin or two in his creel
where moment before each cast of his
drove the fish to deeper pools or behind
protecting rocks.
An old angling friend once said to me
that fish were like ostriches in some OF
their ways, notably in that they seemed
to feel safe when their noses were hid
behind a tuft of grass or in the crevices
of a sunken rock.
''Fish facing the sun and forget not
this rule, even when the twilight is over
the waters, by casting toward the west"
was the law enacted by his knowledge,
based upon experience, of the effect of
shadows upon the wary fish, who are
more startled by unusual appearances
on the surface of pool than they are
by strange things below.
Vision and hearing in fishes being the
senses most important to the angler in
his water sports, those next in value are
smell and taste. The possession of these
by fish seems to be disputed point.
They have evidently taste in modi-
fed degree, as they will reject the arti-
Immediately imbedded in their flesh,

A RAINY DAY IN A GARRET.

We could not play at tennis, lie cercc o. Gro,
quet-
We could not venture out of doors that rainy
summer day;
But yet by me unheeded was the shadow in the
skies,
I saw but sunny weather in the light of Vida's
eyes.
Within the roomy attic such jolly games we
played.
Why should I at the patter of the raindrops be
dismayed?
And in our JOY often thought, if she would only
k-ssE share it,
I'd have my life one rainy day with Vida in a
,ao~s- garrett
The years a score have hurried by since that
glad afternoon.
Which she and so gayly passed with heart and
heart in tune;
The sunny locks that lie across her brow are
streaSed with gray,
But love is just as young and glad within our
hearts day:
Sometimes the clouds have crossed our skies
and hidden all the blue,
Yet all the while affections sun was shining
warm and true.
A yoke is light and easy with two steadfast
hearts to bear it,
And love can make lifes rainy days delightful
in garnet.

The Original Grand Old Man.

"The Grand Old Man" is phrase that
is popularity supposed to belong to Mr..
w. E. Gladstone, and to have been in
vented to especially distinguish him.
This is not the case. In a speech
''t'owd Vicar" of Leeds, the late DR..
Hook made at Manchester about thirty
years ago, the reverend gentleman used
the phrase in reference to the composer
Handel. He was addressing working
lng-class gathering at popular concert,
and here is the sentence in which the
phrase occurred: Il dare not allude to
the sacred oratorio, The Messiah as
merely an entertainer mt and an amuse-
ment, for 1 remember that when the
oratorio was first produced in London,
and Handel was congratulated on hav-
ing entertained the town for whole
week, the grand old man in his usual
outspoken manner, said: L did not wish
to entertain the town; l wished to do it
good. There you have at once an in

PERSIAN CIVILIZATION.
False Impressions tntertertained by Eu-
ropeans and mericans.

fOpeanS ana ! merlcanS.
I have been much surprised to hear
even well-educated Englishmen, in re-
cent discussions on Persia, speak of the
Persian nation as if it were completely
wanting in civilization and were ages
behind Europe in manners, customs and
ideas. Such false impression of the
characteristics and social condition of
our good friends, the neighbors of our
Indian Empire, is, think. due to ignor-
ance, and, | fear, also to inSular preiu-
dice. Persia has not progressed as
Europe has done, but Persian civiliza-
ton and Persian art had reached high
degree of development when England
was covered with tangled forests and it's
inhabitants were half-clothed savages,
whose highest skill was shown in the
slaughter of wild animals with the
rudest of weapons. Persian civilization
has not refrigerated, though Persian art
is certainly stified by the introduction
of cheap but inartistic articles from the
commercial West. In Persia a polite
etiquette is as strictly observed as in any
country in the world, and though
in some trifles, the manners of u
Persian gentleman may appear strange
and even amusing when observed in the
West, it is safe to say that nothing
which a Persian gentleman would be
likely to do when mixing in Western soci-
ETY. would in any way shock the delicate
feelings of that society In this respect
it is fortunate that the recent Journey
ings of the Shah and his suite were suf-
ticiently extended to give a practical
and widespread contradiction TO the
numerous absurd stories which had been
current concerning the disagreeable pc
culiarities of Persian manners and Gus
toms.
AS regards habits of personal manli-
ness, on which EngliShmen so greatly
pride themselves. it may astonish many
of my readers to learn that the PersianS,
with considerable reason, consider them
selves far superior to any Westerns in
this respect. l will only mention, as an
instance, that the Persian considers
that to remain sitting in small bath
and to commence and complete ablu-
tons in the same water is far from q
clearly habit, and it is one which is
never practicod in the heated baths
which the natives frequent with such
pleasure in Persia and which he greatly
misses when travelling in the West
Nineteenth Century.
