A SAD story with q moral comes from

A SAD story with moral comes from
Aurora. ILL.,, Forty years ago young
lady, now Mrs. King-Hammond, and
young man named Welch were engaged
:c be married. Opposition of parents
prevented the match, and Welch went
away to Texas, where he has since re-
sided. But a continuous correspond
ence has been kept up, and recently
the couple decided to pass their declin-
ing days together. Mr.. Welch came
on to Aurora, accordingly, but when
his intended saw him she tainted away
and refused to have anything to do
with him. Instead of the rosy, sth-
letic youth from whom she had parted
lifetime before, and Of whom she had
been dreaming all these years, there
stood before her a bald, wrinkled,
toothless old man. Perhaps, as Mr..
Welch has found it impossible to re-
main always a young man, it is just as
we'll that he never married his first
love.

o souls that bear daily cross,
Half-fainting, questioning, bearing STILL
Some time your lesson shall be learned,
And We shall understand Gods will.
o eyes that weep through hours of night,
And veil your wistful pain by day,
Joy yet shall come with morning light,

o willing feet that hourly run
On ceaseless errands here and there,
So tired, yet ye shall find a goal
And cease your weary aching there.
0 patient hands that toll so hard
To meet the needs Of every day,
Some time the work will all be>done,
And ye in rest soft-folded lay.
0 hearts where good and i'll contend.
Shining repenting, veHed with life
And all It's cares, fresh courage take,
For victory shall follow strife.
O souls that bear daily cross!
0 hearts that strive! Oh eyes that weepl
The time will surely come when God
Shall give to His beloved Sleep"
And every bruise shall find its balm,
Good deeds full and sure reward,
Pain, toll, and grief be overpast,
And peace shall follow-afterward!

An Armadlll0 Found in Texas.

Mr.. E. G. Cullen, who resides about
eight miles from Austin, near William
son Creek aud Oatmanville, brought no9
town this morning tough looking Gus
toner in the shape Of an armadillo. It's
back resembles that Of a tortoise. It has
a nose resembling an alligator or opossunr
aud has long claws, which resemble thosa
of bear. The armadillo burrows in tina:
ground like ground hog and is peculiar
to the South American country, whose
inhabitants esteem it good food. It IS
rather an odd find in this country, though.
Mr.. Cullen says there arc a good many
of them to be seen on Williamson Creek
in this county.--Fort Warth (7eras) CO.

sTRYCaN1NE VS.. ALCOHOL

An analysis of the vaunted Russian speci-
fic for the redemption Of inebriates has con-
firmed the fact that total abstinence is, after
all, the best cure as well as the bsst pre-
ventive Of alcoholism. The plan Of DR..
Fedor Portugaleff consists in treating topers
to subcutaneous injection Of fluid which
now proves to consist of a rather strong
solution of strychnine. Experience seems
to show that repeated doses Of the antidote
actually beget an indifference, and at last a
positive aversion, to alcohol, but also that
the patient becomes dependent upon the
tonic effect Of the counter-poison. In other
words, the supposed remedy delivers the re-
formed topper into the hands OF another
poison habit We might as we'll recommend

A LOT more foolish people have gone
off prying about the icebergs to find
and bring home the north pole or
splinter of it. 1t may be all right, and
laudable, and brave, but the pole isn't
going to do anyone any good if they do
find it, and the chances are that some
of the members of the expedition will
be left up there 50 stiff and cold in
death that they won't even be able to
arise at the forthcoming sound of the
final trump. The rest will have frozen
ears and ohilblains, aud things any
how, and the whole affair is decidedly
expensive. If anybody is dying to e1-
plore, why don't he explore around
some place where he may find some
thing of value.

Few pests are more annoying when they

He Learned From the Vuitures.

We have bird man among US, writes
a Paris correspondent, who asserts that
he has invented perfect flying machine.
To make studies he went to Africa and
watched carefully the flight of vultures.
From them, he says, he learned entirely
new theories-among Others why bird
cannot rise without taking run, letting
the air come under its wings. The mo-

THE Prince of Wales nor no other
man occupying exalted place could
have carried on his excesses and bald
his place in good society in the United

deal of roasting az the case stands.

DRINKING AND LONGEVITY.

A medical authority, says an English pa
per, has advised life-insurancs companies to
issue policies to reformed inebriates only at
the same rates as to old men In order that
financially they may be properly guarded.
1t is held that a man of forty-eight who had
been hard drinker, but had abandoned the
practice, would probably have longevity so
far impaired as to warrant life-insurance
were from sixty-fve to seventy years old.
It will be seen from this that the chances of
longevity are promoted by abstinence in
early life as well as in later years; that in
the matter of using strong drink it is better,
as DR.. Cuyler with much pertinence has said,
to stop before you begin"
