A YEAR AGO TO-DAY.

a year ago to-day. my love,
My heart was fun OF care;
The gathered grief Ct Tong. long years
Seemed more than / could bear.
The past was all 50 fraught with pain,
The present dim with woe,
The future looked so dark TO me
One little year ago.
Thought TO tread my lonely path
In silence, all alone;
No friend to cheer with kindly word
No hand TO clasp my own;
No dream or hope OF light or lcve
To bless my shadowed way
All, well!. IT'S said: Tho darkest hour
Is just before the day"
So, when my deepest night had come,
And life was weIl-nigh gone.
Heavens own kind care sent you, my dear.
To herald in the dawn
The tender touch OF loves own hand
Rent every cloud away,
And HeGvcn swung dazzling down to me
A year ago to-day.
and now those gentle eyes Of blue
Look lovingly in mine; -
And strong, bravo hands, with kindly clasp
My trembling ones cntwine;
And onward. now, with happy heart,
walk lifc's joyous way,
And bless the boon which came TO me
A year ago to-day.

RIDING A GIRAEEE.
The strange Sight Witnessed by Sports
men in Africa.

The Strange Sight Witnessed by sports
men Ia Africa.
On one occasion two sportsmen in
Africa witnessed a strange sight They
were on horseback and had ridden
few miles up small stream in search
Of game, and they had arrived at a
thick belt of forest. when they were
startled by the sound of breaking
branches and the unmistalzable rushing
of some heavy animal through the
thicllet-
Both men looked to their rifles, and
then drew rein to watch the issue. A
few seconds only had elapsed when two
full-grown girafTes were seen 10 break
from the thiclSet and strike out at full
gallop for the plain beyond.
But the two hunters were quite un-
prepared for the extraordinary sight
that met their gaze as the wild Great
ures few past them. \ large leopard
had bounded on the back of one Of
them, while still in the forest, and was
now seated firmly on its shoulders,
tearing at the poor animals neck with
the savage ferocity OF its kind.
The other giraffe. mad with terror,
soon left its companion far behind. The
sportsman's dog now joined in the
chase, following close upon the heels of
the enfeebled amir al, already tottering
to its fall. Soon they overlook it and
began barking AT his heels, but the gi-
raffe did not give in without one strug-
gle.
Lifting one of its hoofs. it dashed 1t
backward with unerring aim, striking
down the foremost dog and throwing it
several yards 10 the rear. But this ef-
fort was the last. Jerking its long neck
violently outward, the giraffe rolled
over on one side, and fell heavily TO the
earth, severely crushing the leopard in
its fan. Both animals were killed by
the two sportsnen. ~
The leopard, though fierce, is rather
cowardly animal, and it is not usual
for it to attack game SO large as the gi-
raffe, especially where antelopes
abound.-Golden DAYS.

relief. He leaves a loving wife
to spend the remainder of her
days in lonliness. Mr.. Shafer

awaiting his honor's leisure, he was
grabbed by the arm and hustled toward
the front by stalwart bailiH, who
pushed him hurriedly into the witness
box. "Ho.d up your right hand aud be
sworn, some one sternly commanded.

solemnly took the oath Now, what

mony with him, he determined to be
equally liberal. lie stood up in the wit
ness box, and then proceeded to give
Mary Mauigan a character at great
length and in minute detail. Before he
had finished, however, the judge leaned
forward in his chair, and gaz d at Rol-
and with wide open eyes.

be patriotic and in' piring throughout.
The blare Of trumpets and the clash of

marching troops and the impassioned
tones of excited orators All these,
swelling into grand diapason, will be
drowned by chorus of 1900 trained
voices, tuned to sing a Columbian
anthem set and composed for the day.
When that melody dies away the music
of battle will charm the ear, as 10, 900
troops realize the rapture of bloodless
combat Then the Columbian ball,
