GROWN OLD.

What noble deeds VIC meant to do
When-in our long lost childhood's days
We planned how we would travel through
Life's tangled maze!
How very great we meant TO be,
The whole wide world would hear OF US;
And to our fame would all agree
Unanimous!
Aud we would be so very good
All who were suffering or Opprest
Would find their sorrow understood,
Their wrongs redreSt!
While love would crown our nights and days
Deeper and fuller each glad year,
We look out on LIES unknown ways,
And know no fear!
Now one by one the years have passed,
We are no longer glad and young;
We fold cur hands for rest atlast,
Our songs unsung
We look back, while our hearts are bowed
The noble deeds are still undone-
Glad TO have helped, amidst the crowd,
Here and there one,
Love parted from US unawares,
The fame and glory never came;
We thank God If some in their prayers
Still breathe our name.

And So Kept a Correspondent From Writ
ing Upon 1t Inane Things for Print.
One of the correspondents who fol-
lowed the fortunes of the army in the
northwest reports suggestion of satire
from Fort Fred Smith. The scribe had
been filling pages with notes of the
country and the events transpiring
there, or writing them out at length
from all sorts of information. He was
inclined to know more about the Indian
question and the standing army than
the general commanding, and was by
no means chary of suggestions -sug-
gestions which he rendered the pack
ers when the officers would not listen.
One day he was sitting in the commits
sary tent when two officers were filling
u certain long-necked bottle with an
antidote for possible snake bites The
jug containing the general supply had
large, diffusive mouth, and the bottle
into which they wished to introduce it
was provided with stingy opening
that received very reluctantly, no mat
ter what the volume of issue might be.
"We'll spill more than we save" said
one of the officers "Where's a fun
nei?"
mike says mule stepped on it last
night and mashed it
The correspondent stopped in the
door Ct the tent. He wanted to bestow
advice, but was doubtful of it's accept.
ance The colonel commanding came
along. He advised the subalterns to
drink as much as they would probably
waste, and break the bottle. One OF
the officers suggested imagining the
bottle was full, and an attempt to
draw stimulation from fancy. Another
thought if the mule who mashed the
funnel knew what interests had been
affected he would probably apologize.
But all this time the bottle was empty.
Presently the colonel turned to the
correspondent, tore sheet of stiff pa
per from his ample note book rolled it
into funnel and thrust it's little end
in the flask:
"Some people," said he, as the de-
lighted officers together held up the
Jug and listened to the liquor chatting
gladly down the taper way, "some peo-
pie spoil good paper by writing on it.

ALONE IN A CAVE.
A Missouri Hermit Who Has Only Book.
for COMPANIONS.


A short distance west of Alexandria.
In Schuyler county. Missouri, thera
lives man between fifty and sixty
years old who has been leading the life
of hermit for thirty years. His home
is in cave under large rock in the
side of a steep hill Here he has dug
for himself an abiding place and passes
the time in solitude, his only compan-
ions being books, papers and period.
icals, with which in some manner I'M
known to others and which he will not
divulge, he keeps himself plentifully
supplied
His cave has the appearance of cozy
and comfortable room. 1t is neatly
furnished. Around it's sides shelves are
built upon which are piled many of the
best works of the most noted authors.
This strange genius refuses to divulge
his name Or talk of his family history
further than to say that his family was
one of wealth, prominence and influ-
ence in a southern state prior to the
breaking out of the war, and that his
father served with distinction as an
officer on the confederate side during
the great conflict. He shows by
his conversation that he is man
of education and refinement He con-
verses intelligently about art, music,
science, literature, in fact. upon any
topic that may be preached. He is un-
usually well posted concerning current
events and for recluse appears to take
great interest in the world from which
he has withdrawn.
When pressed as to why he adopted
such mode of living, he said it was
simply a matter of choice He denied
that the step was taken because of any
disappointment in love, failure in bust
ness, or ingratitude of friends Or rela-
tives. AS he first made his appearance
in the locality in which he has
lived so many years about the
time of the breaking out of the
war it is thought by some of the people
of the vicinity that some incident in
connection with that event was respon-
sible for the life of solitude so long led
| by this man.
TIE cave in which the hermit resides
is at the end of q long and narrow
path quite remote from any travelled
| highway. He carefully watches this
approach TO his den and upon the APP
pearance Of any person withdraws to
the seclusion Of his hole in the hill. He
carries on conversation from the in
| terror and if satisfied the intruder is
not person who has sought him
purely out of idle curiosity will admit
the visitor, who, if he impresses the
recluse favorable, will be delightfully."-

A Peculiar Profession Followed by Sever
nj Hundred New York Men.
There is class of men who find con.
slant and remnnerative employment
among the large wholesale dealers in
teas and coffee of this city that the av.
erage reader has never known to exist.
These gentlemen are known to the
narrow confines of their profession as
tasters. They sample all OF the finer
brands and qualities of tea and coffee.

upon their tongues they can almost

age and even the country from which
it had been shipped. q

OF these gentlemen there are about
five hundred in New York and vicinity,
and all of them earn salaries ranging
from five thousand dollars to ten thou
sand dollars a year. The largest i'm.

majority of tea drinkers believe that
the quality of their favorite beverage is
ascertained by chemical process In
