GRIEF.

Al morn saAd, s3ricf is . dream,
 Az when ono wakes from troubled sleep And sees tho serrors of tho night
 Dissolve like mists which skywasd sweepr r' At burning noon; "Grief is foe,
 Who urks behind each Joy, and spares Nor carelsss youth nor wary aSe.
 And scorns tho mail that each heart wears" :" At sunset came the vision clear:
 "Grief is friend, whose stops long To know and wait for, as she leads
 To where each tear becomes song"

Drilling q volunteer choir is the most
e~xAsperating work ever undertaken by
= human being. In the first place It is
morally certain that at least half a dozen
members think they know more than
the leader, and two or three are al
ways better informed than the man who
wrote the music. so they offer, with
cheerful alacrity, the most idiotic sug-
gestions as to the manner in which il
should be performed, and feel mueL5og-
grisved If their ideas are no. acted on
Then h womap- arc always either
50 devoseq 20 each other that they keep
Up a constant chatter when they should
be singing or listening TO the leaders di-
~rection, or are quarreling and put each
other out"
They are not responsible for all the
trouble, hut when they do quarrel they
generally manage to enlist the men in
the service of both sides, and the first
thin the leader knows one half his
choir has quit and the other half is about
to do so because they are not numerous
enough to make a creditable chorus. A
choir leader says; II have gone into
church on Sunday morning and found
six or eight members sitting in the con
g~regation, instead Of in their places,
and the rest glazing at them from the
organ stand. 1t is fun for thom and for
the people, but it's death to the leader

regulations regarding the importation Of

the period OF six months ought to elapse

ABSOLUTELY PURE


The graceful sea gull put in m ap-
pearance in Baltimore's harbor earlier
than usual this season, and old salts pre-
dict a hard winter. Whether the sea
gulls are weather indicators or lot,
their presence is very desirable. As
~scavenger they are useful, and ever the
ordinary observer is struck by their
beauty and grace. Their predominating
color is white, with a gray mantle, vary
ing in shade from a delicate pearl gray
to dark, blackish slate or nearly black.
Some nav black heads, and their black
caps turn white in winter. The bills
and feet are generally bright red or yell
low, and make II brilliant contrast with
the other coloring as the birds dart rap
idly past or sail slowly overhead. They
are a clamorous, noisy set, with shrill,
penetrating voices They go in fOckH
or scatter like scouts or s~entinels. They
may be seen floating on the water in
small companies, or drawn up on shore
like soldiers, or standing in groups on a
land bar on one foot, quiet and solemn.
When not busy eating up such material
as they find to their tastes floating on
the surface OF the water they watch
other birds and rob them Of any special
tidbits they nave secured.
Passengers on steamers entering or
leaving Queenstown hHrbor, Ireland,
nave a pleasant diversion feeding the
sea gulls. The birds are quite tame, and
come close to the vessel to be fed. Ere
quently the birds will catch the food as
soon as it strikes the water. When they
are given any article particularly dis
agreeable the EXPRESS their Indignation
by discordAnt screams. They follow the
steamers far out TO sea, picking up any
edible matter thrown from the ship.
The man who for the first time shoots
n Of these birds, expecting to secure a
large and plump specimen. gets only a
miserable, lean carcass sunk in a large
mass Of feathers, and may be said to be
gulled. Baltimore American.
