LIGHT AND SHADOW.

saw a woman yester night
In the glow OF lamps OF "A city
hurrying Gro wd to left ami right
And none to giance in pity.
She stood as by PASSIONS storm dehed,
wanton that purity Dlushed to see.
The smiling crowd, all unbe1uiled
Passed on and left her there with me.
Robe OF silk and costly lace,
Furs as dark as her wretched past
A purse in her hand, a nile on her face.
DO you wonder stopped and in pity cast
glance at the creature standing there.
SO sefassured, yet with black ned soul,
A heart as dark as her waving hair
And naught IN view but doomed goalf
rich attire and smiling lips
But dimiy mask a haunting fear.
Norouge applied by hnger-tIps
Can take away that halr-formed Ieer.
That wasted FORM so strangely frail,
Those shrunken cheeks, that feverish eye,
Tell all too plain their ghoulish tale.
Oh, God have pityr' comes the low-breathed
sigh
AS she turns Oh. the weary, hopeless glance
Speaks yearning far too deep for tears
Ana then there is the noisy, FESTIVE prance
or horses, and the night air bears
The half-inoaned "home," and she whirls away
Under the lights of crowded city,
Lolllug on cushions IN wanton way.
What do you think-was she worth my pity?

DIAMOND DU ST.

Translated from the German.
For the day that is past we are prudent at night;
FOR the one that may come how short is our sight
Oh break not the thread OF friendship in twain
Though tied anew knot will remain
Ne'er for yourself the present through the future
spoil,
Nor e'er the past by thought OF evil soil.
IL Tor tomorrow you of greater blessings dream,
Lo' the brightest sun to-day but dim to you VIII
seem!
When first did dawn this worlds fair light for thee
Thou didst think that thy kindred were glad.
Live so that when death sets thy spirit free
Thou mayst rejoice, but thy friends Will be sad.
Perfect and pure doth the drmond remain,
Though buried for years In the earth it has lain;
But dust is dust, and doth change Ia no wise,
zen though aspiring heavenward 1t flies.

The swamps of the Bay of Campeachy,
which are on a level with the sea, become
so completely parched during the heat of
summer that the huntsmen, who lose them
selves in the extensive forests with which
they are covered, would be in danger of
perishing with thirst were they not provided
with living fountains in the wilderness
where there are no springs or running water.
The trunks of kind of pine. indigenous TO
the soil, are covered with species of fun
gus, called, from its peculiar form, pine
apples. They resemble packet of leaves
piled one upon the other, and are so full of

Mr.. Woodward has not only proved him
self successful amateur actor but has also
been very successful as a business manager
of various amateur clubs. and has besides

helping and building up the amateurs of
this city by encouraging them financially
and otherwise. and has always been a good
drawing card on account of having a bust
ness of his own, thereby being well ac-
quainted in this city.

A Chicago man. who has been acting tenn
porarily as the local representative of Blu
cyrus (Ohioj firm, received the following
ambiguous dispatch yesterday afternoon:
"Bucyrus Ohio, Dec. 1O-Come here ut
once. Be prepared for reception"
After studying the dis atch for half an
hour. the Chicagoan replied:
-"Chicago Qll), Dee. 10-Shall bring my
dress suit or my revolver
"Bucyrus (0hiol, Dec. 10 Better bring

The agent left for ONO last night, having
rather misty notions of Buckeye social and
business customs which would render a re-
yolyer desirable adjunct to dress suit,

IN REMEMBRANCE OF EMMA ABBOTT

Lo! the angels have called her away,
Away to dream in the skies;
They will watch her and guard her with care
In the realms OF Paradise
She will know no anguish of soul
In the beautiful home above
Where the flowers are sweetest and purest
Where the songs are OF goodness and love.
The esrth-brds ceased their soft singing
When the Icy fingers of death
flushed forever the vo ce of this fair one,
Bound her brow with snowy wreath.
Dead! dead, she is lying so softly
That the flowers over her brow
Scarce tremble at death in its mocking
Only tend her sleeping now.

A SONG

oh to call back the past is but folly,
Hopeless to hold out imploring hands,
Times restless ocean is rolling between;
Days long gone by are now foreign lands
Could we call pack the past-how rapturousl
once more TO clasp the dear loving hands,
once more to smile into eyes that loved us,
Days long gone by are now foreign lands.
oh TO call back the past is but folly,
Hopeless to hold out imploring hands;
Courage-we have the Christ whom we worship
Heaven is home-not a foreign land.

of receiving digniiied officials.

q member of the joint committee to wait
upon tic President, and inform him shat

Foot, of Vermont, one OF the most diGni-
fed Of men, WAS chairman OF The commit
tee.
On being uShered into the presence Of
the President, Mr. Foot inyoluntarily
struck an attitude, and proceeded to say,
in his statcliest manner:
MIR. President, wc have been appoint
cd 4 committee on the part OF the two
Houses OF Congress TO apprsc yon that
they have met and organized and are
ready to receive any communication which
it may be your pleasure to make to them =
AS he concluded MIR. Lincoln stepped up
to him, and taking him familiarly by one
button Of his coat, said
"Now look here, Foot, if it is matter
of life and death with you, | can send my
message in to-day, but if it isn't should
like to keep it till tomorrow TO slick il up
