AT THE GOAL.

They found him in the silent place
By his own fancy peopled fair.
Where CLEANED Oh many Il pictured face
The light his own had ceased to wear.
Yet in the sightless eyes the while
There seemed some ecStacy of trance,
And on the rigid mouth a smile
OF more than life's significance.
They looked upon the painted scene
Fraught with the magic of his mind,
The outlined purpose, clear and keen.
That never now should sequence find.
Alas-they said-his hand is still
That Swallowed forth the growing thought
POwerless his subtle brain and will
That life to deeper meaning wrought!
Alas! alas again they cried
To miss the vision almost found!
To fall upon the mountain-side
So near the summit glory-crowned!
But still the dead eyes gaZed before,
Like one who sees the happy end;
And still the face TRANSPORTED wore
The look they could not comprehend
For they that DER him Borrowing bent,
And mourned the life too early DONE
WiSt not the smiles pale rapture meant
The dream fulfilled, the glory won!

Lifting the Eiffel Tower.

Emile Michelet says: "The whole Fife
tower could be lifted by four men of average
strength, The case has been proved. When
it was about halfi height few men actually
did lift it. The construction of the tower Is
based on the cantilever principle, and It's bulk
of 6 400 tons is so adjusted as to press on the
foundation with less weight than that of
man in an arm chair on the floor"

Who Was Driving.

One OF the prettiest conceits in Mr.. Har.

mouth of an old negro driver. He had run
away from his master and could not be

he had saved the life other son, and he sur

When his old mistress came to die, her
wandering mind dwelt upon the negro who
had served her so faithfully. She fancied
she was making ajourney.
"The carriage goes smoothly along here"
she said. Then, after little pause, she ask
ed, us David driving ?" aud the weeping
negro cried out from the corner of the room,-
"Taint po' Dave, mistr'ss De good Lord

In one of the towns in Lincoln county
there formerly lived a couple known to the
surrounding country as John and Mary
Ann. Did fortune smile upon their hum
BILE birth 1t must have been a very sickly
smile, if indeed fortune changed countenance
at all, for it frequently happened that their
larder, like that of the venerable Mrs. Hub
bard, was bare of anything of an osseous
character even, to say nothing of bread and
butter. One thing, however, they always
contrived TO have on hand-tobacco, and two
very black pipes, for Mary Ann shared her
husbands joys as well as his sorrows. John
would come home at night and interrogate
his spouse as to the prospect for internal re-
freshment.
"What yer got ter eat, Mary Ann"
"Nary a crumb, John"
"Ant airy 'taters?"
mary 'tater, John"
Then the man of the house would heave
sigh of resignation and say, "Wall, Mary
Ann, full yer pipe n less hev smoke"
Johns spiritual condition was a source of
some solicitude to his wife, who one day
persuaded him to accompany her to pray
er meeting that was TO be held in a school
house some miles away. Arriving there
John, the sinful soul, drew the line at enter
ing the house, and persisted in sitting down
outside under one of the open windows,
where he could enjoy peaceful smoke and
get the benefit of the meeting at the same
time.
The service within was progressing un-
eventually when Mary Ann arose and, after
dwelling upon the lost and undone condi-
ton of her lord and master and the great dis
tress which this condition caused her, asked
the prayers of the audience for the unregen-
crate John. A hush fell upon the assembly,
during which the head of the gentleman in
question slowly appeared above the window
sill. Resting his elbows upon this, and hold
ing his pipe in an easy attitude between his
thumb and foIefnger, he cast benevolent
look upon those within which finally rested
upon his wife, 10 whom he remarked in a
deprecatory tone, Speak fer yerself, Mary
Ann, but don't say nothin' about Pse.''
