Nay, you wrong her, my friend, her love she
has simply outgrown
One can read the whole matter translating her
heart by tho light of ones own.
Two summers ago when you waoed her you
stood on the self same plane;
Face to face. heart to heart, never dreaming
your souls could be parted again.
She loved youat that time entirely in the bloom
of her lifes carly MAJ,
And it is not her fault, repeat it, that she does
not love you today.
Nature never stands still, nor souls either; they
either go up or go down;
And hers has been steadily soaring, bat how
has it been with your own?
She has struggled and yearned and aspired;
grown purer and wiser each year;
The stars are now further above You in yon
luminous atmosphere.
For she whom you crowned with fresh roses,
down yonder five summers ago,
Has learned that the first OF our duties to God
and ourselves is to grow.
Her eyes now are sweeter and ealmcr, but their
vision is clearer well:
Her voice has tenderer cadence, but is pure
as q silver bell.
Have you, too, grown purer and wiser as the
months and the years have rolled on?
Did you meet her this morning rejoicing in the
triumphs of victory won?
Nay, hear me-thc truth cannot harm you,
when today in her presence you stood,
Was the hand that you gave her as white and
clean as that OF her womanhood?
so measure yourself by her standard, look
back on the years that have fed,
Then ask, if you need, why she tells you that
the love of her girlhood is dead.
She cannot look down to her lover-her love,
like her soul, aspires;
Dc must stand by her side, or above her, who
would kindle its hoiiest fires.

Endurance,


How much tho heart may bear, and yet not
break!
How much tho flesh may suffer and not diel
question much if any pain or ache
OF soul or body brings our end more nigh.
Death chooses his own time; till that is sworn
All evils may be borne.
We shrink and shudder at the surgeons knife,
Each nerve rccoiling from the cruel steel
Whose edge seems searching for the quivcring
life,
Yet to our sense the bitter pangs reveal
That still, although the trembling flesh be torn,
This also can be borne.
We see sorrow rising il our way.
And try to flee from the approaching i'll;
We seek some small escape; we weep and pray;
But when the blow falls, then our hearts are
still;
Not that the pain is of its sharpness shorn,
But that ii can be borne.
We wind our life about another life;
We hold it closer. dearer than our own;
Anon it faintS and falls in deathly strife,
Leaving US stunned and stricken and alone;
But ah. we do not die with those we mourn
This also can be borne.
Behold, we live through all things-famine,
thirst,
Bereavement, pain; all grief and misery,
All voc and sorrow; life inflicts its worst
On soul and body-but we cannot die.
Though We be sick and tired and faint and
worn
Lo all things can be borne.

Tale of Fiji Canniba1 who Claims &c
uayo Eaten Human Flesh

Tale of Fiji Canniba1 Who Claims to
Have Eaten Hu.nan Flesh.
The general curiosity of our entire
town was aroused bY the appearance
upon our streets of It native Of India,
who was born upon one of the Fiji
islands. He wore 4 very red or cardinal
colorsd suit Of clothes, knee pants, and
JACKIE. trimmed with black velvet collar
and cuffs. Over his shoulder he carried
a cloak that was tied over the left shonl-
der and under the right, made Of white
and red flannel His head was covered
with blouse that fell down his back,
and still over this a sombrero. His shoes
were tied under the instep with one
half inch white braid that wound around
the leg up to the knees. His general ap-
pearance was very gaudy.
This native was converted when %
years old, and is now "a years Of age.
His father lived to be 130 years Of age.
His life has been spent in leeturing ON
the condition of his people. He speaks
twenty languages luently. When FIVE
or six years old he saw an Indian woman
throw her child to crocodile that
weighed 1000 pounds. The animal
missed the child, and the mother caught
it as it ran back to her begging for its
life, when she threw it again. This time
the crocodile struck it with its claws,
tore it into two pieces and ate it very
quickly. She then reported her acts to
the pagan priest, and he blessed her. say
ing to her, Go sin no mora"
He also was eannibal. v hen he was
years old there were twenty-one min
listers who were caught travelling and
prospecting for places to locate churches.
and one Of these ministers was beheaded
every morning by their high priest and
his flesh cooked, and the natives were
made to stand in row and each one was
given part of the flesh, and they stood
and ate it. This was continued every
day for twenty one days, until all of the
ministers were eaten up, and he ate part
of twenty-one preachers.
He says the natives never do eat one
another unless one is taken in war or as
a missionary; that it is mistaken idea
that they slay one another to eat when
this man and that is fat enough to eat;
that the beasts of the field never slay
one of their kind to prey upon, and that
the savages have never gotten to be
lower than wild animals-Atlanta Con-

Many of those gorgeous lamp shades
that bewilder the eye from half a dozen
show windows on Fifth avenue are made
at home by women who have seen the
proverbial better days" The work re-
quires nicely of taste and skill in needle
work Designs and materials are fur
nished sometimes by the shepleeper,
sometimes by the women that do the
work. The largest shades are made ever
parasol frames. The materials entering
into the work are silk, satin, lace and
artificial flowers. Prices of the more
elaborate shades vary from SIG to $50,
so tfiat the cost of handsome lamp
fully equipped may run up to $780, In
some cases Inilliners also make lamp

Tho Private of tho Buffs.

Last night, among his fellow roughs,
He jcsted, quaffed and swore;
A drunken private of the Bluffs,
Who never looked before.
To-day, beneath the foeman's frown.
He stands in Elgin's place,
Ambassador from Britain's crown.
And type of all her race.
Poor. reckless, rude, low born. untaught,
Bewildered and alone;
A heart with English instinct fraught
He yet can call his own.
Aye, tear his body limb from limb;
Bring cord or AK or flame;
He only knows that not through him
Shall England come to shame.
Far Kentish hop fields round him seemed,
Like dreams, to come and go;
Bright leagues OF cherry blossoms CLEANED,
One sheet of living snow;
The smoke above his fathers door
In gray soft eddyings hung;
Must he then watch it rise no more,
Doomed by himself 50 young?
Yes, honor calls-with strength like steel
He put the vision by;
Let dusky Indians whine and kneel,
An English lad must die.
And thus, with eyes that would not shrink,
With knee to man unbent,
Unfaltcring on its dreadful brink.
To his red grave he went.
Vain mightiest fleets of iron framed,
Vain those all shattering guns,
Unless proud England keep untaned
The strong heart of her sons;
So let his name through Europe ring
A man of mean estate,
Who died, as firm as Sparta's king,
Because his soul was great

Whom a Gentleman seems Homeless.

Do you know when an elegant, poll
ished gentleman seems like a tramp? II
is when he allows the impression to go
out that he has no place he can call
home. or belonging to himself individu-
ally, by using club stationery for all of
his correspondence. Something about it
there is that sinaeAs of snobbishness,
poverty or secrecy more than Of the Dig
nifty belonging TO an exclusive or popu-
lar ciab. For general address in the
revolving of city life ones club is de-
cidedly convenient. and there are GER
tain notes and letters that have the cor
rect air when topped by the club name,
monogram or coat of arms, but when a
man confines himself to the club sta
tionery for his business letters, his formal
and informal notes and all social letters
it calls up that class of men who board
at inferior hotels and slip around to
well known high priced ones and help
themselves to the paper that Is left in
the reading and writing rDoms for the
use of the guests.-Cbicag Herald.

The oldest story of geese in the fog
comes from Norfolk, and was told to
Mr.. Stevenson, the author of 1.-The Birds
Of Norfolk" by the Rev. Fl. T. Frere. a
large flock Of geese were attracted to the
town Of Diss on q foggy night by the
lights, and from the sound of their voices
seemed to fly scarcely higher than the
tops of the houses.
They came about p m, and, as it
was Sunday evening. they appeared to
be especially attracted by the lights in
the church, and their incessant clamor
not a little disturbed the congregation
assembled for evening service. From
that time until a. rn., when the fog
cleared off and they departed. they con-
tinued to fly around utterly bewildered.
One bird happened to 1y SO low as to
strike u gas lamp outside the town
probably it was flying round the light
just Is 4 policeman was passing by, who
very properly, as the bird was making a
great noise outside 4 public house, took
it into custody, and the next day it was
with equal propriety sent off to pri-
vate lunatic asylum at Melton, where it
lived for some years an honored guest.
