After the sharpest winter, the spring

After the sharpest winter, the spring
dismounts from the shoulder of q
southern gale and puts its warm hand
upon the earth, and in its palm there
comes the grass, and there come the
flowers, and God reads over the poetry
of bird, and brook, and bloom, and
pronounces II very good. What, my
friends, II every winter had not its
spring, and every night its day, and
every gloom its glow, and every bitter
now its sweet hereafter! If you have
been on the sea, you know, as the ship
passes in the night, there is a phos-
phorescent track left behind it; and as
the waters roll up, they toss with I'M
imaginable splendor Well, across
this great ocean of human trouble
Jesus walks Oh, that in the phos-
phorescent track of his feet we might
all follow and be illumined!
There was gentleman in the rail-
car who saw in that same car three
passengers of very different circum-
stances. The first was a maniac. He
was carefully guarded by his attend
ants; his mind, like ship dismasted,
was beating against a dark, desolate
coast, from which no help could come.
The train stopped, and the man was
taken out into the asylum, to waste
away, perhaps, through years of gloom.
The second passenger was culprit.
The outraged law had seized on him.
As the cars iolted, the chains ratified.
On his face were crime, depravity, and
despair. The train halted, and he
was taken out to the penitentiary, to
which he had been condemned.
There was the third passenger,
under far different circumstances.
She was bride. Every hour was
gay as marriage bell. Life glittered
and beckoned. Her companion was
taking her 10 his fathers house. The
train halted. The old man was there
to welcome her to her new home, and
his white locks showed down upon her
as he sealed his words with a fathers
kiss.
Quickly we fly toward eternity. We
will soon be there. Some leave this
life condemned culprits. They refused
a pardon, they carry their chains Oh,
may it be with us that, leaving this
feeting life for the next, we may find
Father ready to greet us to our new
home and Him forever. That will be
marriage banquet! Fathers well
come. Fathers bosom. Fathers kiss!
Heaven! heaven!

Tho AfgiIans.

OF all the races with which the
English have come in close contact
the Afghans are the most uncivilized
in nature and grain. They are fierce,
bloodthirsty, fanatical and treach-
erous; their good qualities are of the
elementary domestic kind, and their
highest virtue is courage, which
they possess in a conspicuous degree.
They are uncivilized in the sense
that they are without any national
cohesion or responsibility. Each
man is independent of his fellows
and rejects the authority Of even
tribal chiefs No doubt there are in
every clan or tribe men of promin-
ence for their wealth or prowess or
cunning, who command a certain fol-
lowing. But their influence is per-
sonal and temporary and vanishes as
quickly as it sprung up. In some
quiet Utopia where the individual
might be allowed to develop in peace
this intense individuality might be
no disadvantage. But it is other
wise in country like Afghanistan,
torn with intestine discord and ieal-
ously regarded by powerful neighbors.

Car Excursions.
ST. LOUIS, June 5.-Arranpement
have been completed by the railroad
companies whereby visitors to the
Worlds Fair from nearly all parts can
spend few days at ST. Louis without
material addition to expense. In some
instances stop-over tickets are OBJ
tanned without difficulty, while in
others the rates are so adjusted that
the additional expense incurred in
purchasing tickets to st. Louis and
thence to Chicago is nominal. All the
railroads report traffic very heavy, and
although there has not vet been the
increase in the sale OF tickets between
st. Louis and Chicago which was ex-
pected, the sale of tickets from Chi
cago to ST. Louis has been very large,
as evidenced by the crowds which
come in on the various routes from the
Worlds Fair city morning and even
ing.
The practice Of taking Sunday af-
ternoon excursions on electric cars
was started here last year and has
been revived with great energy this
spring. The electric road connecting
the old country town of Florissant
with st. Louis carried $4,000 excur.
sionists on the county division on Sum
day and could have carried 10000
more had it been prepared for such an
enormous crowd. The electric car is
exceedingly popular in the city, and
although the horse car is dying out
more slowly than expected it will be a
nf a on 60,
section is concerned within very few
weeks.
st. Louis is becoming more gener-
ally known as n racing centre and the
race meeting now in progress is on the
whole the most successful one ever
held here. The track is mile round and
the grand stand accommodations are
regarded as equal to any in the coun-
try. Vigorous competition on the part
of rival tracks is seen this year, and
there has been some unp,easantness
between the racing authorities and the
owners of local pool rooms. But
neither of these is having any effect on
the success of the meeting either in
point of number in attendance Oh the
quality of the sport, and the future of
racing here is fully assured.
Plans are in progress involving n
vast amount of expenditure in the way
of improving streets with asphalt,
wood pavement or telford. Since the
incorporation of the city improvements
of this kind have been somewhat re-
tarded by a clause in the charter limit
ing the expenditure to 25 per cent of
the assessed value of abutting property
and the refusal of one OF two owners,
especially when property has been
held in trust, has prevented much
work being undertaken which was
otherwise necessary. The change has
come about Us n result of State legisla-
ton and there was now practically TO

dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man

STORY OF BIRD LIFE.
Two Tame Pigeons Who Would Answer
to Their Owners whistle.


Some years ago my father had pair
of common white pigeons. They were
very tame, and became very much at
tached to him; so much so that they
were almost his constant companions,
accompanying him in bis walks, or
when out driving. They would answer
his whistle like dog, and would
alight on his proffered hand, or enter
his pocket IL opened for them. A
skeptical friend thought they would
show the same familiarity to any other
person, and, to give them fair trial,
he procured suit of clothes of the
same color as that which my father
wore. Arrayed in his disguise, our
skeptical friend, initiating my fathers
whistle as nearly as possible, whistled
to the pigeons Immediately they left
their perch on the housetop and flew
down to the hand held out to re-
ceive them; but when they
came within a few yards of it, they
suddenly checked themselves, fluttered
perpleXedly fora few moments around
our friend, and then flew back to the
house-top. This was conclusive evil
dencc. But n sad accident happened.
One morning one of the pigeons was
found upon the highroad dead, its
body bearing marks of injury, but
from what cause we never knew. We
carried the dead body home and buried
it in a quiet and sunny spot in the
garden. For three days the surviving
pigeon, with untiring energy, searched
the country far and near for it's mate
but in vain 1t refused to touch food.
and even the influence which my
father usually exercised over it was
gone, On the third day we found it
dead in the dovecot, it's little heart
broken with grief by the loss of its
lifelong companion. We buried it
beside its rate. Since then my father
has never kept pets.
