SONG OF THE SEASONS.

From the Sunday Mag lzine.I
When trees are gree1ing overhead
And daffodils are yellow;
When daisies bend beneath your .'ead
And primroses are mellow;
When streams are leaping fresh and
bright
New life and verdure bringing,
And birds from early morn till night
Their songs of love are singing;
Oh! life is then joyous thing,
Our hearts beat strong and lightly,
For all around, in robes of spring,
Fair earth. she smileth brightly.
When roses bloom upon the Dough
And foXgloves deck the hedges,
And lazily the waters How
Among the reeds and hedges;
When skies are glowing bllle and high
And fields with grass are waving,
While cattle in the pool hard by
Their burning feet are laving;
IT'S then we feel our pulses beat
With manhood's strong endeavor
The summer of our life we greet
And spring is gone forever.
When apples drop from laden trees
And golden sheaves are bin1ings
When heather scents are in the breeze
And hunters horn is winding:
When barns are filed with ample store
OF Natures kind providing,
And sky and bill are crimSoned Ger
In golden light abiding;
Oh! then we feel glad autumn's glow,
The fruit of life's stern pressure:
The summer flower aside we throw.
The autumn fruit we treasure.
When winds are roaring high and sh-i.l
And stainless SHOWS are falling:
When frost has locked the watefs chill
Within its grasp enthrallng;
When holly berries bright and red
From dark green bowers are peeping.
While naked branches toss o'erhead
And bud and bird are sleeping;
We, too, would sink to winters sleep;
Our sun is near the setting;
In life we SOW, and toll. and reap,
Then comes the long forgetting.

GREATLY SHOCKED.


The lodges resorted to by travelling
fakirs are many and ingenious. One of
the cleverest is recorded by a London
paper and challenges admirati for it's
ingenuity, though the well-known aver
sion Of elephants to mice might perhaps
be taken as explaining the mystery of
the animals behavior
The proprietor of a travelling circus
announced that on a certain night
trained elephant would play the Rus
sian Hymn" on a piano with its trunk
When the evening came, the circus was
crowded to the roof with an expectant
public.
After some of the usual performances
had been gone through, four men
brought in an upright piano, which they
placed in the center of the arena. Then
the elephant was led in He walked
slowly three times around the ring,
and then, amid the keenest excitement,
advanced to the piano.
With a slight movement of his trunk
he opened the keyboard, but scarcely
had he done so when a sudden change
came over his appearance. His eyes di-
lated with fear and rage; he lifted his
trunk in the air. and then, with a
scream of terror, he rushed out of the
arena.
The proprietor of the circus and the
elephants keeper held a short and hur-
ried consultation, and then they, too,
left the ring.
After a few moments the circus pro-
prietor entered again and announced
with regret that the performance could
not take place The fact was he said,
that the elephant had recognized in the
keyboard of the instrument portion of
the tusls of his long lost mother, who
had fallen prey to the ivory hunters

Old Saws.
Some OF the old saws, which have
been rasping and scratching through
literature, ought to be withdrawn. For
instance. there IS that old prescription,
''See Venice and die What good is
that? See Venice" yes land die"
no. Old Jimmy McGoodwin, when we
lived down at Dodge City, used to say,
while the cowboys were shooting out
the lights and doing other eccentric
things, 81 don't want to die, I want to
eat" 1t is much that way with US
we want to see Venice; but we don t
want to die. Let's pull that old saw
out. and put in another one, See pop
perton place and live Now, isn't that
better? There is some hope in that,
and when you see it you will want to
i've, and will want to live UP there; and
if you sc UP there 20 live. you will live,
because the air from our own
exclusive canyon drives away the odors,
and poisons. and germs, that arise from
the busy city below, and every little
while you will have to let out another
hole in your belt. The air feeds your
body, and the scene, the panorama, the
great landscape spread at your feet,
tinted at evening with colors from the
departing sun, and darkened here and
there with the shadows of fleecy clouds
feed your soul, and make you glad that
you are alive. If you want to go up

away in pillows of green and gold; and
at evening when the band at Fort
Douglas is playing the airs of the ma

behind old Stansbury, discharge a
culver full of golden arrows towards
the sky, and we can watch these arrows
as they plunge into the clouds, and
glance off on the towers and steeples of
the city-lighting up with their lustre
every window and roof, and finally
blending into rose and purple tints
upon the western face of the Wahsatch.

FIRST AMERICAN CRECHE
an OLD TIME INSTITUTION ON

How Aunt Gfnny Raised Scores of
little Negroes and Founded n

A southern woman told me the other
day that long before the word "creche"
wac known in this country day nurseries
were a fiourishing institution in all the
slave states. An impression is current
That the idea was imported from France
while. on the contrary, it originated in
the patriarchical form OF government
which ruled plantation life. My informant
said she thought it time to give credit

A characteristic feature of Mashonaland

curious elevations are given in a letter to
Professor Geikie, by J, b. Don formerly
one of his pupils \ uniform granite for
nation is, he says, by far the most promi-
nent geological popularity of Mashonaland
aud indeed of most of the interior of
South Africa. Sometimes it rises into
mountains, but usually the general level
is only broken by low kopies, and in those
parts where the bedrock and surface are
fattest the kopjes present the most singu
lar appearance The whole country seems
dotted with these curbstones, and in
whichever direction you look they gradu
ally close in the view, as the trunks of
trees would in a forest. Some of these
curbstOnes are 300 feet or more high,
sheer all round, and apparently of smaller
diameter than height. Sometimes the orig
inal mass has been so broken up as to
form the most marvellous steeplelike struc-
lures springing out of the rich foliage that
grows in all the crevices. Native huts are
built on these kopies in the most inacces-
sible positions. London News.

mounted by lofty towers and spires. Above

Hungary was formerly an independent
kingdom, but is now one of the two main
divisions of the Austro- Hungarian king
dom and acknowledges the Austrian EN-

diet consists of two houses, the table OF
magnates and the table of deputies The
diet meets annually, and elections take place
every three years The language of the
diet is hungarian, but the representatives
of Croatia and Slavonla are permitted TO
use the Croatian language. The Hungarian
ministry consists of a president and the
heads of nine departments.
