Worry.

If we said our prayers one-half az
faithfully as we render homage to
certain little heather god enshrined in
every home and heart, we should stand
a fairer show for Heaven than we now
do There are hosts of people who offer
continual sacrifice to this alien god; tho
wrath of which neither is, was, nor
ever shall be, appeased. These people
take no comfort in, anything a kind
Providence sends in their way, just be-
cause of the unappeasable little monster
who sits over against every good thing
in life, like a bat in the moonlight.
Upon the palms of its hideous hands, in
characters worn deep like the channel
wrought in a human face by uncounted
tears, and upon its brow in lurid letters
that glow with baleful light, is en-
graved its name, and that name, trans
lated, reads Worry" 1t compels obei-

A Field for Inventive Genius.

What is needed in the small fruit
market is not SO many names but few
more berries, say about two pints to
the quart. Every berry in the land has
more names now than caterpillar,
and he has more than he can remember.
When he begins business he is plain
caterpillar, and rybody who steps
on him knows just what to call him.
Then he retires-that is if he has :,
chance to retire before he Is troddeI,
under foot-and is known as a larva;
then he gets to be pupa or a chrysalis
or something, and by the time he gets
to be butterfly he forgets what the
old firm name was. You are probably
thinking of some people just now who,
like the strawberry, travel on their
names, and do not just exactly know
how they got them either.-Ladies

PRESIDENT TAYLoR's DEATH.

He Celebrated Independence Day and lex.
pired But Four Days Later.
Zachary Taylor, president of the
United States, died on the 9th of July,
1850. He was in the second year of his
term and had already gained fame as q
statesman as well as soldier. Both
wings and democrats respected him be-
cause of his firmness of character, his
impartiality and his sound sense. The
slavery agitation was about this time
coming to an acute stage and much
was hoped from President Taylor's
sagacity and ability. 1t was felt that
if anyone was able to stem the rising
tide of rebellion he was the man. But
1t was reserved TO- others to face the
storm. The 4th of July, 1850, was an
exceedingly warm day-the hottest of
the season. 1t was, however, duly oele-
brated at the capital and President
Taylor took part in the ceremony. He
remained during all the exercises and
sat out all the long speeches, believing
that the decorum of his station re.
quired it. The celebration took place
on Friday, and on the following Tues
day he was dead. Just after he had re
turned from the exercises to the presi
Dental mansion he was seized with Q
violent fever and though every effort
was made to overcome the disease he
grew steadily worse until death came
to his relief. The mourning through
out the country was general and sin,
cere, as President Taylor was highly
esteemed by all classes of citizens

our party thoroughly sunburned and
tired enough to enjoy our supper. Gu,
skipper thereupon raised anchor, set
his sails and with a southern breeze
chasing us over the waves we sailed
back to Cape May. Our fishes were
given to the steward and everyone at
the hotel table that evening had a por.
ton OF the catch of the afternoon.
Saturday night, in the great dining
room, which is larger than the cele-
brated east room at the white house,
and in the adjoining ballroom, the
young people enjoyed terpsichorean
trippings for about three hours. On
Sunday night in the same rooms, a
sacred concert was given by the Cape
May orchestra, assisted by New York,
Philadelphia and Washington vocal
talent. Whether it was the novelty OF
the occasion or not, it seemed to me
that. in the salt sea air, the orchestration
was more perfect and the vocalization
more effective and enjoyable than l
have ever experienced in any house OF
worship.

THE LAND OF DREAMS.

The twilight dcepcns, the shadows creep,
The moonlight quiyers in silver beams,
And silent we step in the boat of Sleep
And drift to the shadowy land Of dreams
Oh, mystic land where the dead return,
And warm lips cling in the deathless kiss,
And the years are not, and the weary learn
That anguish dies In the arms OF bliss.
Afar in that holy, unknown land
Ambition gather the flowers of fame;
And fortune reaches her golden wand
And pure and white is the soul of shame.
The shackles fall from the prisoner there,
The peasant sits on the throne king;
The blind eyes open to all that's fair,
And deaf ears hear, and the dumb lips sing.
Dreams! Who can tell what messengers stray
Around us all In the hush OF night;
When the form lies still as the soulless CLAW.
And we follow ourselves through love and
light.
And who shall say 6ut the land Of dreams
Is the land Of the living, after all;
And daily life, with its scars and seams,
Is only dream when the shadows fall

BAY ST LOUIS, MISS, SATURDAY, oGF9Bffffs Il 1892.

Alb Snow was old man Pickett's chief
help. who held the position of superin-
tendent at the mines. He was good
looking. bright young man, and for a
long time he had been very attentive to
Miss Pickett. His attentions seemed to
he very agreeable to her, and in time
the people of the Point came to look
upon marriage between the two as
an assured fact. Snow gave color to
the belief by assuming a noncommittal
air when the matter was broached in
his presence.
The facts in the case were that Snow
most ardently desired to marry Miss
Pickett, though he was not influenced
altogether by love. 1t is true he felt
for Mary all he was capable of feeling
for woman, but he was so selfish by
nature that Pickett's mines and Pick.
ett's money had a far greater influence
over his heart than Mary had. This
fact, however, he kept to himself.
Will Martin remained about the camp
for two or three days after his arrival,
then one morning he doffed his tasty
attire, and in its stead donned miners
suit. Taking some provisions and tools
he went off up into the mountains
alone where he remained week. This
action created considerable amusement
for the miners at the Point, and led old
nan Harter to remark:

diskiver mine O. his own.''

Animals That Never Drink.

age of a Naturalist" that unless the
huanacoes or wild llamas Of Patagonia
drink salt water in many localities they
must drink none at all. The large an6

never drinking. A parrot is said to
have lived in the geological gardens

that rabbits in wild state never drink

worshipful sense pervaded the throng
with an intensity of feeling akin to that
which must have pervaded the hearts
and minds Of men when the groves

learned to hew the shaft or build the
architrave. The interludes were songs
of praise from the lovingly-laved shore
of the ocean, as the snow-crowned
waves ceaselessly kissed the silvery
strand. One young lady in the impro-
vised choir sang a peculiarly appropriate
old hymn, portion of the words being:

on the still air; then she was conscious
of a terrible fight going on above her
between some one and the bear. Then
she knew nothing more.
When she regained consciousness
VIII Martin was kneeling by her, bath
ing her face, himself torn and bleeding
till she hardly recognized him.
"Are you badly hurt, Miss Pickett?'
he asked, as soon as she opened her
eyes.

When Snow reached camp and re-

once set eff up the trail in search OF
Miss Pickett, though they scarcely
dared to hope to find her alive. They
fully expected that the bear had killed
her long before.
Great, then, was their astonishment
and joy when they found her but little
hurt, and greater yet was their surprise
when they learned how Martin had
saved her.
From that hour Will Martin was q
hero, and every man in the camp was
ready to swear by him. He and Miss
Pickett married soon after, and then it
transpired that he had discovered one
OF the richest mines in the west, and
was wealthy man.
Alb Snow did not tarry at Pickett's
Point many days, for it was not pleas

about his bravery.

along the hard, sandy beach, picking

they rested upon the silvery bed OF

upward over the smooth coast until it
ran over my shoe tops, then silently
hastened back into the bosom of the
mighty deep, mingling with the other
incoming breakers, so that might new

disturbed me.
But as no one takes cold from such a

IT WAS A TERRIBLE SITUATION.

and day of rest. What he was doing
up there, or whether he was accom-
plishing anything, no one knew, for he
kept his own counsel.
When he was at the Point he min
gled with the people very little, though
two or three times he had been seer
walking with Miss Pickett, and on 6
few occasions he had been known tc
call on her.
Several weeks passed, and then one
day there came an event which created
great stir at Pickett's Point. 1t was
an event that revolutionized the senti
ment of the camp on one point entirely
1t was a fair, warm day, and AL
Snow and Miss Pickett went for ride
up the mountain trail. They went sew
eral miles, then turned to retrace theil
course, and were riding leisurely along
chatting gayly, having no thought o1
danger, when huge grizzly bear sud
denly appeared in the middle of tile
road few yards before them.
Snow Immediately drew his pistol
and fired shot or two at the bear, but
without effect, then, whirling about
dashed off up the trail at full speed
calling to Miss Pickett to follow. She
attempted to do so, but her horse, al.
ready badly frightened, became un
manageable, and beginning to rear and
plunge soon unseated her and threw
her off.
Her horse at once followed Snow, an6
within moment she was alone and a,
the mercy of the bear. Snow heard
her horse following and supposed she
was on him, SO he proceeded on his way
to the camp by circuitous route, being
too badly scared to cast one look back
to assure himself that she was safe.
Miss Pickett was stunned by her fall
so before she could rise the boar had
advanced to her side. She felt his hot
breath on her face, and realized in ar
instant the full extent of her danger
She saw nothing but death before her
and the next moment she expected tc

strain on her mind was more than she
could bear. She felt her senses reced
