Feelings Of n Monkey.

A native of India was sitting in his
garden when loud chatteripg an

monkeys, which forthwith proceeded to
make meal off his fruits. Fearing the
loss of his entire crop. he fetched his
fowling piece, and, to frighten them
away. fred it off, as he thought, over
the heads of the chattcring crew. They
all fled away, but, he noticed, left behind
upon bough, what looked like one
fallen asleep, with its head resting upon
its arms.
As it did not move, he sent servant
up the tree, who found that it was dead,
having been shot through the heart.
He had it fetched down and buried be-
meath tie tree, and on the morrow he
saw sitting upon the little mound the
mate of the dead monkey. It remained
there for several days bewailing its loss,

The old saying that troubles do

talking with one of our leading
grocers this morning and was
Informed by him that he had to

that hams had gone to IA cents

had succeeded in gettinga corner
on meats. He said.
"No. 1t is: the scarcity Of hogs.
In some of the Western States
cholera swept them from whole
counties, and III some instances
nearly from whole States. This
and the heavy export demand
have raised prices. Meat is going
up every day. There is no telling
where it will stop. Wepay packers
IA cents per pound for lard that

tendency. Wheat also going up
The foreign demand is raising the
prices. Eggs have gone to 30 cents.
But the cold weather accounts
for that. Canned goods are also
advancing. Tomatoes within the

IN NO MANS LAND.

Two shapes were walking on the strand
One starlit night in no mans land;
Two shapes thut during earthly life
Gave hate for hate in deadly strife.
They met. Swift forth their falchions flew;
Each pinned the other through and through:
1 Yet neither fell. Again they stroye
For mastery. and madly drove
To right and left their falchions bright,
orsound nor cry profaned the night.
T Through corselet, casque and yisor, too,
AS through the air their swift blades few;
Until amazed, they stood aghast,
And on the sands their weapons cast.
Then laughed they both at mortal strife,
The passing dream of earthly life. -
And clasping each the others hand,
They walk the'shades Of no mans land.
