THE BURDEN OF NIGHT.

How dark il grows! The grieved light of day
Down the horizon takes its sullen way
Yet leaves upon the Jagged mountains crest
A half-burning ember glimmering in the
west
AS some vast army, movinc in the night
Should leave its smoulderlng campfres still
alight,
Whose mournful red awhile the cleaning
stains
dissatisfied, reproachful as 1t wanes:,
How dark it grows-hOw dark!
II.
How dark il is! The deeper purplng sky,
Lashed with dull clouds keeps gloomy watch
on high.
All hope of light. all glimpse of heaven debars,
WithhOlds the planets and denies the stars
The darkness deepens, brain and vision reel,
Struck by the gloom. cannot see, but feel
AS felt old Egypt when the gathering night
OF Gods displeasure blotted out her sight
How dark it is-how dark!
Ill
So felt old Egypt while her ruins hid
The mystery of Sphinx and Pyramid.
While their stark profiles cut the starless
While She lay dumb with wide, unvisioned
eyes.
You knew what cons over her must roll
Before that cloud is lifted from her SOUL
Such is the burden and the load of night.
When was it day! When will be morning
light?

eve seated ourselves on one of tie

stone benches. 1t was in the month OF
May. The perfume of flowers permeated
the air around us. A glorious sunlight
glinted through ths leaves and cast rays
of light around us. La Castris' black
dress seemed bathed in sunshine.
'The gardens were deserted. In the
distance could be beard the rumbling OF
vehicles, the noise of new Paris.
sssWill you explain to me- / said to
the old ballet master, what the minnet
really was?'
sHe tremhled.
"sThe minuet was the queen of dances,
the dance of queens. Since there is no

begged Of him to describe the steps,
the movements, the poses. He became
rather provoked at my obtuseness, and
turning toward his grave and silent
companion ne exclaimed:
"sElise! would you-you would be
most obliging-would you be willing
that we should show this gentleman
what it was?
ssShe turned her restless eyes on all
sides, and being satisfied that we were
alone she rose without a word and placed
herself in front of him.
"Then I saw a sight never to be for
gotten.
sThey went and came with infantila
grimaces, smiling, balancing, bowling,
leaping like two old dolls that had been
set dancing by an old fashioned mechan-
ism, little out of order, but construct
ed in olden times by a skillful workman,
according to the prevailing fashion.
s"sAnd l looked at them, my heart torn
by conflicting emotions, my soul moved
by an indescribable melancholy. it
seemed to me that was watching sad
yet comical apparition, the old fashioned
shadow of past century. / wanted to
laugh and could hardly refrain from
weeping.
ssAll at once they stopped; they had
finished the figures of the dance. For
some seconds they remained facing each
other, grimacing in most surprising
| manner, then without warning they fell
into each others arms, sobbing bitterly.
"Three days later I left Paris for the
provinces. When returned two years
afterward the nursery gardens of the
Luxembourg had been destroyed. What
hadsbecome Of the old couple, without
their beloved garden of other days, with
its labyrinthine paths, its perfumes of
the past and its gracefully turned
hedges?
'.Are they dead? Are they wander
ing through the streets of modern Paris,
like two exiles lost to all hope? Do they
dance, specterlike, fantastic minuet
among the cypress trees of cemetery,
along the pathways bordered by tombs,
by the light Of the. moon?
eTheir remembrance haunts me, tor
meats me, tortures me, remains in me
like wound. Why? I do not know
why.

man, with all these memories of the
pastr'- Translated from the French OF

A NE WSPAPER MAN,
Connected With the Great
Paper, the Albany Express.
Makes Statements Which the
People Should Know and
Understand.
They VIII Interest Not Only the News
paper Fraternity But Everybody.

The popular and we'll known Thomas A.
Lindsay, who is connected with Albapy's
IN. W leading morning paper, the Albany
Express, makes an interesting revelation.
Everybody connected with the news
paper has known of the facts for soma time,
and can vouch for their truth in every par
tcular.
"For many years, " said MIR. Lindsay, 81
have b,en subject to severe spells OF head
ache aud nervou1ness, at times almost
enough to drive man to insanity from
pain loss of sleep, etc.
"Msdicines, narcotics, patent and pre-
scrbed, did not give relief, and the ailment
increased continually. Having read in the
Albany Morning Express, at different
times, the advertisements of DIR. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy, l con
cluded to try this remedy and after the use
of six or seven bottles, found not only re-
lief, but almost radical cure.
THE headaches are a thing of the past,
while the terrible nervous spells have grad
ually become less and less until now have
little or none OF them left and my sleep is
natural and refreshing
81 do not hesitate in saying that this re-
markabe change is entirely due to DIR.
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy,
and heartily recommend it for ailments
like my own, no matter the cause of them. "
1t is Il fact that our great business and
professional men are fast finding out the
wonderful invigoratng and strength giving
powers OF this most valuable discovery, Dr.
Greens's Nervura blood and nerve remedy,
1t is the medicine for the weak and nervous.
1t restores health to the sick.
It's remarkable cure of Mr. Lindsay, after
every thing else Ind failed, makes another
consr icuous person, restored to health by
its use, to add to The long and constantly
increasing list Of prominent and well-known
people who are almost daily publishing in
the papers statements of their cures by this
/ grand medicine.
1t is beyond all question the greatest
curer of dis ease known at the present day,
and is the very best spring medicine for
blood and nerves. Every body needs q
spring medicine, and this is just the remedy
to take. 1t is purely vegetable and harm
less, and is sold by druggists for 81.
This great remedy Is the discovery aud

ANGLING SEASON FOR TROUT.
Enthusiastic Disciples of Izaak Walton
Can Now Fish.

Enthusiastlo Disciples of Izaak walton
Can Now Fish.
Tne trout season op,ued in Vermont Mon
day. The disciples OF the immortal Walton
will now walk alongside tho brook with rod
and reel in hand, perhaps landing net and
basket hanging on bis right aide and good
supply Of his favorIte fly hook, or moro
probably a common small hook with worms
for bnit, and angle for the specklod beauties.
The trout that fishermen like to catch is
the will trout that skirmishes the entire
length of the swift running, bright, clear
brook Angling was probably never so
popular as 1t is at the present time.
Izaak Walton averred that the contem-
plative man always had fondnoss for
angling, and there is evidently truth in b 10
statement, as nearly all of the great poets
and noveli,ts OF this past, as well as the
greater portion OF philosophers and states
men of the past and present centuries, were
and are enthusiastic anglers. Izaak Wal
ton, Sir Walter Scott. Charles Dickens,
George WashingtoD Walt Whitman, Wash
ington Irving, exPresident c. A. Arthur,
all delighted in the sport. President Cleve-
land, ex-President Harrison, ex-senator
Edmunds, Senators German, Beck, Kenna,
Patt. Vest, Jones and Quay, William X.
Nanderbilt, Chauncey NJ. Depew, w. w.
Aston and Robert J. Ingersoll are among
the prominent fly fishermen OF to-day.
There arc about 1000 angling clubs in the
United States and Canada, number Of
which are in the Green Mountain State
Nearly every Vermonter loves to catch the
brook trout.
All fishermen, Of course, tell good stories.
When a New York Press writer thought Of
this fact the other day he penned the fol
lowing lines, which cannot apply to Yer
monters:
HE TELLS THEM ABOUT HIS LUCK.
The brook he fishes all the day
With bait or gaudy flies.

And there all night he les
