WAR OR PEACE.

People who Go Through Life with Met
aphorical Chip Always on Their Shout
ders.
After almost every conflict of armies
there are meetings and conferences and
calls for conventions to discuss arbitra-
ton and universal-peace ideas. 1t is sug-
gested that all differences may be set
tied by arbitration. While this theory
is every way admirable, it is yet to be
feared that the day is far distant when
such theory can be put into practice.
1t is a curious fact that there is scarce
ly one lawsuit in one hundred which is
settled by arbitration or compromise.
The element of obstinacy in the hui
man race is too strong for such a course,
even if the lawyers would permit it.
There is more profit and more glory to
the counsel in the case if the difficult
ty comes to trial.
Defeat after brilliant campaign is
far more welcome to many persons than
obscurity. Indeed, not to be known,
not to be able to make an appearance
before the world and to be seen of men
is, to the great majority of people, the
most cruel of all fates. Therefore, the
prospect of shining in some military or
forensic encounter is as eagerly desired
and looked forward to as u Fourth of
July picnic. The army and navy are
constantly frctting under a condition Of
inactivity. War, with all of its horrors,
means glory and gold and prosperous
times generally for great numbers of
persons.
1t may be questioned whether the
fighting instinct must not be bred out
of humanity The spirit of contention
seems to have taken possession of GER
tain classes of persons, and no peaceful
measures will satisfy them. They go
through life with the metaphorical chip
on their shoulders, and the least provo
cation brings them to war like the tap
of drum.
The world is full Of people who are
never SO happy as when they are en-
gagged in controversy. There is no "give
up to them, and they really enjoy
making this declaration. Equally they
enjoy the reputation of being good
| fighters. 1t soothes their self-love and
gratifies their pride because 1T means
| to them that no one can accuse them OF
| cowardice.
And as it is with individuals, SO it is
| with nations. If so be it that the di-
plomatic relations OF country are in
the hands of men who, for personal
| greed or glory, see future for them in
war between friendly powers, it takes
but little to make the disturbance and
| all bloodshed aud distress that follows
In its train. IN. Y. Ledger.

strange Sights in the Heavens.

On the night of March 81, 1876, about
three hours after sunset, monster
bright light, appearing as if it arose
out of the Adriatic sea-" crossed over
Italy in vertical line about half way
between Rimini and Leghorn, it's
course being from the northeast to the
southwest. Various estimates as to
the size and height of the body We're
made. One scientist, with amusing ex-
actness, declares that ''it was exactly
thirty eight miles high when it passed
over Calmers." AT all places near it's
path of flight kissing noise like that
made by a skyrocket was plainly
heard. AT Leghorn the sound is said
to have been "like that made by a
large cannon, quickly dying away,
until it sounded much like cart rum
ming over cobblestones. Estimates of
it's size seem to have been as wild as
those respecting it's height. Some ac-
counts say that sit was as large as a
house" lie Cat says: ut was a good
half mile in circumference" Bohn, who
has written very readable account of
it under the title of "The Great Meteor,
or Strange Fire of March XXXL,
MDCLXXVI.," estimates that il was
''about one-half mile by the smaller
diameter" which would have made it
terrifying object to behold.-Phila-

OVER THE BORDER.

oYAy tSc Sorder from bubyland,
We grown.up ones can e'er understand
How In sumo mystical, wonderful way,
Not Just in q night or yet In day,
We passed the Rubicon ever to stand
OUTSIDE the border Of babyland
Way back where memory stops on the brink
Where we In wonder began to think
We pause, and try to bring back the bliss
We felt rs we laid q bashful kiss
On latest conner, whose unconscious hand
pushed us forever from babyland.
IL we could have tarricd there to see
That the pictures were painted in memory
or the wonderful things we saw before
Time took us out and closed the door
On that warm and sunny slumber land,
Humanity's sub ,rb. sweet babyland.
We surely then the key would hold
or Heavenly things, II tale untold;
A vision of Eden's innocent bliss,
The light Of babyland never of this,
Except CLEAN on the silvery strand
On the brow Of age, from lost babyland.
But the door is shut and we far away,
Remembering not the morning gay,
Only feeling the pain and smart
OF o throbbing head and weary heart,
Blindly trusting we yet may stand
And read the secret Of babyland.

Description of Ono Who saw Him n
Borodino,
Maj. Gen. Yakovitch, OF the Russian
army, is one of the few men now living
| who saw the great Napoleon on battle
! field. The old gentleman saw the French
emperor at Borodino At that battle
Yakovitch, then mere boy, served
with a battery in the grand redoubt,
which was the ce nter of the Russian
line. He gives vivid description of
the battle. When morning broke sea
of gray mist shut out the field from
view. The voices of the enemy were
heard, the neighing of their horses,
and the rumbling of artillery wheels.
Then came the thunder of cannon, maxi
ing the very earth tremble. Three times
all the Russian gunners were killed and
three times new men took their places.
Bullets flew thick as hail and men
dropped dead or mangled every mo-
ment.
At last a strange sound was heard in
the distance like rain pattering on
withered leaves. 1t grew louder and
louder, until it filed the air like the
roar of n stormy sea. All at once a
great wave of bright swords and he'll

up over the breastworlSs. 1t was the
imperial guard. Before the shock of
that mighty wave the Russian center

too, was Murat, with his white plumes
and his braided jacket, his riding whip
in his hand, just like circus rider.

A sad spectacle presented itself to

of the child wore peaceful express

shoulders in heavy curls, but her beau
tiful bright eyes were shut. Clasped
in her thin, blue-veined hands, and
pressed closely to her heart, were the
image of st. Patrick and the two little
slippers. During all the time she had

had held them in her hands. / begged
