Fame. Wealth. Life, Death.
From the academy
What is fan1as

From the academy.
What is fame?
It's the Sun-gleam on the mountain,
Spreading Origntly ere it flies;
lis the bubble on the fountain,
Rising lightly ere it dies;
Or, if here and there hero
Be remembered through the years
Yet to him the gain is zero;
IL but only in the air
May be ard some eager mention of their
name.
Though they hear it not tn emselves. It's much
the same.
What is wealth?
'Ti6 rainbow still receimg
AS the painting fool pursaes;
Or toy that youth unheeding.
Seeks the reader way to lose;
But the wise man keeps due measure,
Neither out of breath nor base;
He but holds in trust his treasure
For the welfare of the race
Yet what crimes some men will dare
But to gain their slender share
In some profit, though with loss of name or
health
In some plumber. spent ON vices or by stealth.
What is life?
fTiS the earthly hour of trial So
For a life that's but begun; ~.
When the prize of selfdenal
May be quickly lost won;
IT'S the hour when love may burgeon
To an everlasting flower
Or when luSts their victims urge on
To defy immortal power
Yet how lightly IN N ignore
All the future holds in store
Spending brief but golden moments all in strife.
Or in suicidal madness grasp the knife,
What is death?
Past its dark mysterious portal
Human eye may never roam;
Yet the hope still springs immortal
That it leads the wanderer home
o, the bliss that lies before us
When the secret shall be Known,
Anu the vast angelic chorus
Sounds the hymn before the throne
What is fame. or wealth or lifes
Past are praises, fortune, strife:
Al but love, that lives forever cast beneath,
When the good and faithful servant takes the
wreath.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Richmond (Va) Dis
patch says; Recently reading an account of a
duel fought during the war by two confederate
Officers we'll known here in Richmond, l am re-
minded of one of the most remarkable in the
annals of History, between a confederate officer
and sutler. which will relate for the benefit of
your readers. In 1862 there was encamped on
the peninsula, near Yorktown, the Fifth Louisi-
ana regiment, composed principally of the
sporting men of New Orleaus and a lively set
of men they were. With them was the Rich
mond HowitZerS, many of whom will remem.
Der today the incident. 1t seems that a lieu
tenant of one of the companies had occasion
to send to the quarters of the sutler of the regi
ment for a lot of candles then talloW was
only availaolaL The order was filled but
upon examination of them one was found
without WICK which was returned with an i'm
pertinent message. That so nettled the suffer
that he replied in greater force The result was
q challenge was passed, and strange to saw
accepted by the sutler and meeting was
arranged for the next morning at sunrise At
the appointed time the two met just outside of
their camp, and with Mississippi rifles at twenty
PAGES. Cool and collected they stood confront
ing each other, with their seconds, the distance
having been stepped off and marked by porter
bottle. At the word 'Firer' the crack of both
rifles was heard. aud simultaneously both men
fell as dead as beeves, neither one knowing
what hurt him. They were brought into camp,
and military funeral was given them. En-
wrapped in confederate eolors, the two bodies
were forwarded to New Orleans for burial. Thus
ended the most remarkable duel on record.

When | was in Arabia, relates trav-
eler to reporter Of the Kansas City Times,
heard a story illustrating the shrewdness
of the native lawyer. An English mer-
chant, staying at an inn in one of the
smaller towns, placed on deposit with the
landlord $500. He neglected to take re-
ceipt for the money, and when, few weeks
later, having been absent on short Jour-
ney, he had occasion to ask for it, the land
lord opened his eyes with well-feigned as
tonishment and pretended to have forgotten
the transaction. The Englishman was nat
urally enraged, but he had no proof and
no witness, and in his extremity he sought
the advice of native lawyer. This wise
man of the East reflected moment and
then gravely said: "Intrust another $500
to the keeping of the landlord, but sure to
have witness on hand" The English
man was puzzled to know how this would
help him, but he did as he was directed.
Now" said the lawyer the next day, ego
and claim your money, but don't take your
witness" This was done, and the inn
keeper, ill-prepared to practice the same
deceit the second time, handed over the
notes. The traveller once more sought his
legal adviser, who said to him: st is
well. Approach your host again, accom-
panied by your witness and demand your
money" The Englishman followed his
instructions. g But l gave you your mon
ey," protested his host "Come now,s re-
piled the merchant, here is man who
was present at theltime. He will tell you
that he was not witness of what you
claim. He saw me hand you the money
Be quick, please; must leave the city"
The landlord was outwitted. He saw the
trap, but it was too late, and without more
ado he made good the sum.

tunio's purse and Aladdin's palace, and
turns the aArabian Nightso into mere
prose In comparison. Think how this old
story of love is repeated forever in all the
novels and romances and poems, and how
We never tire of reading about it; and
how, if there is to be wedding in a
church, all mankind go, just to have one
look at two persons who are supposed, at
least, to be in love, and so supremely
happy. But this, also, is not perfect So
ciety. 1t is too narrow, too exclusive. 1t
shows the power of devotion, trust, self
surrender, that there is in the human
heart; and it is also prophecy of some
thing larger that is to come. But it is at
least home, and before real society can
come real home must come.
As in a sheltered nook amid great sea
of ice which rolls down the summit of Mt.
Blanc is found little green spot, SO, in the
shelter of home, in the warm atmosphere
of household love, spring up the pure af-
fections of parents and child; father,
mother, son and daughter; of brothers and
sisters. Whatever makes this insecure and
divorces frequent, makes of marriage but
an experiment, which may be tried as
often as we choose and abandoned when
we like. And this cuts up all the roots of
the dear affections of home, leaves chill
dren orphaned, destroys fatherly and moth
erly love, and is virtual dissolution of
society.
l know the great difficulties of this ques-
tion, and how much wisdom is required to
solve them. But whatever weakens the
permanence of marriage tends to dissolve
society for permanent homes are to the
social state what the little cells are to the
body. They are the commencement of or
ganic life, the center from which all or
ganization proceeds.

A Neat Rebuke.

That the manners of our fathers are not
ours, says the New York Ereninq Sun. is
we'll enough understood, and the phrase
'of the old school, has come to be used
rather as reproach to the degenerate
present generation. An old lady who be-
longed to the times when courtesy was
perhaps more general, as it certainly was
more elaborate, than it is now, admins
tered rather neatly rebuke to lad who
did not come up to her ideas.
She had known the boys father when
he was in Harvard, as now was the son,
and as the latter could hardly remember
his parents, who died in his infancy, he
was always eager to learn all he could
about them.
The youth was invited to call upon the
old lady, who is now beyond the term set
by the psalmist for mans life, at country
place one day last summer, and had an in
terview with her upon the wide veranda,
where she was sitting when he arrived.
He lifted his hat, and then, replacing it
on his head, went on talking with the old
dame, who regarded him with looks of dis
approval.
"Do look like my father ?D the young
man asked at length.
81 cannot tell" the old lady replied,
dryly. Il never saw him with his hat on
when he talked with LADY,"

"As an humble citizen, sir-a man
whose great-grandfather fought at Lex
ington."
"Oh, that's it. Well let's see how well
you can fight at Detroit"
And he flung him over table and
booted him out of doors, and the repre-
sentative of the Government had no fight
in him. On the contrary, when he was
safe across the street he said
"That's twenty cents worth OF brandy
for ten cents worth of licking, and the
United States is way ahead w-Detroit

Make Thou the ocean of my SOUL o God
Like to that southern bay-of soundless deeps
And make Loves pillows, as the years shall
speed,
Break down the narrow walls that self has
raised,
And with resistless might oerfow my life
y Father. many come TO NE athirst,
And would give them of my very soul,
Oh would tll their vessels to the full.
But know my waters are not pure enough.
Then light for me the fielcest fire of trial
SO all my waters seethe and rise in vapor.
To boil again, till, rising yet once more,
They leave behind soil, sin and greed for self
so all my being shall be pure distilled,
Fit beverage for the drink of thirsting souls.
And Thou, Mighty Master of all ships,
pray Thee, trust me with Thy laden barks,
Not those that journey to and fro
Between near ports, but those that, far away.
Where no man hath cast anchor, search for
spice:
And If my billows be not strong enough,
Or If my bosom be not deep enough
pray Thee, with the dredge of patient pain.
Yea, with the dredge of anguish if need be,
Enlarge the shallow basin of my soul,
Till life, nor death, nor anything that is,
Can tell the depth and measure of my love.

first ten years of his literary career.
George Eliot was paid large sums for her
novels, In several instances during the
last years of her life receiving from S40,-
600 to $4,000 for single novel.
Tennyson, on the whole, has made more
money out Of his poetry than any other
writer of verse, past or present, though in
several instances Longfellow was better
paid than the Laureate. Ever since "The
Princes" and In Memoriamn settled Ten
nyson's rank and reputation, everything
he has produced has brought him fabu-
lous prices, and to-day his wealth is esti-
mated at not less than $1,500,OOO. For
his comparatively short ballad, the "Rey-
enue," which originally appeared in the
English magazine, the Nineteenth Century,
he was paid $12 line, or $1,000. Yet
Longfellow, for "The Hanging of the
Crane" consisting of 200 lines, received
from Robert Bonner $4,000, or 500 line.
Both Longfellow and Whittier received
handsome prices for their work, the pub

Cholera in Russia.

Cholera continues to cause much alarm
in Russia. A telegram from st. Peters
burg states that the Government is making
strenuous efforts to prevent the cholera,
which still exists in Persia and Mesopo-
tamia, from crossing the Caucasus. La.
Noredadcs remarks in this relation: "If the
Government of the Car treats the mi
crobes of cholera as severely as it is accus-
toned to treat the Nihilists and other real
or supposed enemies of the Government,
We need not fear that the terrible disease
will reach us by that way"
