Gone aUith the Pms.

Where is the thrill of last nights fear?
Where is the stain of last weeks tear?
Where is the tooth that ached last year?
Gone where the lost pins go to;
For last nights riddle is all made plain,
The sunshine laughs at the long-past rain
And the tooth that ached hath lost its pain
That's what our troubles grow to,
Where are the clothes we used to wear?
Where are the burdens we used to bear?
Where is the bald-head's curling hair?
Gone where the pins disappear to;
For the style has changed and the clothes are
new,
The skies arc wearing brighter blue,
And the hair doesn't snarl as it used TO do,
And the parting has grown more clear,too-
Where are the bills that our peace distressed?
Where is the pin that the baby "blessed?'
Where are the doves in last years nest?
Where have the pins all gone TO?
On the old bills are the new ones thrown,
The babv's at school with her pins outgrown,
and the SQUADS are running a nest OF their

we can stand the smart Of yesterd y,
To-Cay's worse ills we can drive away;
What was and is brings 10 dismay
For past and present sorrow;
But the burdens that make us groan and sWea9,
The troubles that make us fume and fret,
Are the things that haven't happened yet
The pins we'll find tomorrow.

TT DID HAVE 4 SERIOUS LOOK.

There was once a man who had
wooden leg. The man was an officer
in the Union army. He had lost his
leg at Sharpsburg. But the wooden
leg was such good one that its own
er still passed for biped, even among
some of his intimate friends.
One day a contraband negro, a run
away, strolled into camp, and the Of
ficer engaged him as his body servant.
After looking long upon the wine
one night at a little dinner, the officer
came home to his tent. He called his
boots.
sTNow, SAM" he said, abe careful.
One Of these boots is tight, and it
most pulls my leg out to get it off.
Besides, I feel rather flimsy."
''I'se allus keerful, boss" replied
Sam, and he carefully removed the
first boot.
When the contraband began to pull
at the other boot the officer loosened
the straps of the wooden leg little.
Sam pulled hard and things came with
a rush.
''There! There! 1 told you to be
careful" shouted the officer as the leg
came off. 81 was afraid you'd pull that
leg off,"
Sam saw the leg protruding from
the top of the boot which he had pull
ed off.
His eyes bulged out like Holsters,
and he yelled just once as he sprang
for the door.
''Lemme go, femme go!" he shrek
ed, as he dashed through the group
outside. ~ never done muffin fore,
Gwad, / never done nuffin!" And
he was still yelling when he disap-
peared. They never saw him in camp
again.

Did you ever notice, when a man
smites his thumb with hammer, while
putting down a carpet under wifely
supervision and criticism, how quick
ly he thrusts the bruised and throb-
bling member into his ready mouth?
writes Robert j. Burdette in the La
dies Home Journal. People think it
is because the application is soothing.
But no; it is an involuntary move
ment, same as winking. The man
can not help it, Nature knows what
the man would be apt to say under
the circumstances, and as she has pro-
vided him with stopper, and has Or
dained that whenever he hits his
thunb hard enough to hurt-and it
doesn't take very much to nearly kill
a man when he is doing something he
doesn't want to by a sort of inter
locking system the thumb flies into
his mouth and stops him up, SO that
he can't say anything. Some men
whom you and l know should be pro-
vided with an extra thumb which they
might carry about in their hand all
the time it wasn't in active use. 1t
would be great thing, wouldn't it?',

The Origin of Chess.

The origin of chess is shrouded in mys- tery. There is but little doubt, however, says The Inter-Ocean, that it's birthplace was in India, and that it is an offspring of game called chaturanga, which is men tioned in oriental literature as in use fully 200 years before the Christian era. From India chess spread into Persia, and thence into Arabia, and ultimately the Arabs took it into Spain and the rest of western Eu- rope The game was in all probability in vented for the purpose of illustrating the art of war. The Arab legend upon this point is that it was devised for the instruc- tion of a young despot by his father, a learned Brahmin, to teach him that a king, notwithstanding his power, was dependent for safety upon his subjects. The Greek historians credit the invention of the game to Palamedes, who they claim devised it to beguile the tedium of the siege of Troy during the Trojan war.

CHILD OF rAs c,1y sreegrs.

 Well may yosf sigh for flowers, Child Of the city streetsi For a leaf from greenwood bowers Where tho cooling breeze retreats Only a vernai Gllnt
 Cools the fever of your desire, Only D miscr's hint
 Of the beauty that lifts us higher, Where you would have butterflies gay And birds to sing untiring. Falls the shadow of want all day To deaden the souls aspiring. Not tor your feet the clover Child of the city streetsl stone presses under and over Your heart in a prison beats. Where you would have flowers blooming And waters with rainbow spray A mountain of stone is looming To shut the heavens away Not for your hot caress
 Blooms the lily. white and cool; --. It floats in idleness,
 A dream on the woodland pool. Only in sloep for you
 The fruited bough dips low. You wander dreamland through To find where the violets grow. Stone walls press back the green God gave for tired eyes, A narrow court would wean Your gaze from the very skies. Hard is your path of duty, Barren of childhood sweets; Well may we sigh for beauty. Waif of the city streetsi Mrs. x. B. Morange in Arkansaw Traveller.

Snilax.

Smilax is U tuberous rooted plant and is dormant during the summer. The tubers may be divided, if necessary, and newly potted as soon as the new growth appears. The plants may also be easily grown from seed or cuttings, or they may be bought of the florist. The soil should be light and rich. It is suggested in Orchard and Garden that the plants look better trained on green strings, which should be supplied when the plants are only few inches high, and not left, as is too frequently done, till they are two or three feet high. The string being small and green, it is cut off with the shoot and there is no bother with untwining.
