But Yesterday, the one whom adore
Passed hence unto the tomb sweet Eleenoie
Her rortrait on the wall is hanging now
With fearful eyes gaze upon the brow
And at the dark eyes like unto the night.
And all my heart is flooded with loves hgnt'
Acoin in fancy. I can see her sad sweet face,
So full of beauty spirit, love and grace,
close pressed to mine and with the ola dehgn1
I stroke the tresses of her dark-brown nalr;
And kiss her glowing cheeks like roses lelr
But stern realt breaks in upon

And awake to find the midnight hour IS on

Miss GEORGIA WHITE, Local Editor.

Straight down the street the deacon came,
With aimless step and slow,
Much troubled by what might become
OF sons like his that show
Such leanings toward that form of sin
Presented by circus ring;
The likes Of which the good man thought
A most ungodly thing:
And as he pondered sad at heart,
BY chance he raised his eyes
And fastened them on tall CRATES
That seemed to reach the skies.
With facinated gaze he stared
At all the strange display,
Depicted on the billboards that
We're built along the way.
But when at last he broke the spell
And turned as in daze,
He found himself confronted by
His sons wide eyed amaze;
And TO the question that he saw
Within those round bright eyes,
He thought the best reply would be
silver compromise.

THE INCAND ESC ENT LIGHT.
1t is First Expsrlmsnted With In Eng
land.

1t IS generally supposed that Mr.. Ed
son, the sage Of Menlo Park is the inven-
tor Of incande scent electric light An ar
ticle. however, which appeared on We'd
nesday, Fcbru " ., 1Sis, in THE Dollar
Newspaper" published in Philadelphia,
goes to show that while Mr. Edison was
still a little boy, experiments with in
candescent lights were being made In
England. The article. which Is I'm pos
session OF one Of the officers in the
Capitol building. is entitled "The Elec-
trio Light" and reads as follows;
mir. Static is lecturing in England on
his mode Of lighting by electricity. The
Literary and Philosophical Society OF
Sunderland, gave public soree last
November, at which his mode OF light
ing was the principal attraction. The
November Guardian says; 'Ths light.
which was OF astonishing brilliancy and
beauty. was placed under an alright
glass vase. When the gas was turned
down II sufficiently lighted the spacious
building and bore the closest resemblance
to the great orb of day CT any light
which we ever witnessed. The electric
light was next exhibited in a vessel of
water with equal success. Mr.. S. stated
II was tne cheapest, as well rs the best
for all practical purposes. and the mar
velous invention was hailed with rap
turous plaudits.' It's expense is not one
twentieth the price now paid for gas, and
he has taken out a second patent for the
invention

Wasps as Paper Makers.

A careful survey Of that vacant nest
convinced my wasp at once that IL afforded
the exact combination Of advantages she
was then in search Of: and as soon as
she had satisfied herself by a course OF
watching that the hole was not now In
possession Of any stronger and more ag-
gressive wasp-eating animal, she aban-
doned- at once her digging operations, and
took up her abode IN the ready-made
cavern. There she set to work at once
upon the collection Of material for the
first few cells. which we saw her bring
ing in from the decaying place on the
eatepost with cOmmendable activity.
The nest itself our queen constructed
within a vacant hole. building and lining
Il with a peculiar sort Of paper Of which
she and her kind have the entire monopo-
~. This paper is manufactured from
woody fibre, ar the most modern hu~
man fashion-thc wood being first re-
duced to a complete pulp, and then
kneaded with the jaws 10 the proper
thickness and consistency. In most cases
the raw material is nibbied piecemeai
off the bark Of trees; but my wasp for
tunately discovered early in her career
a weak spot at the base of the rustic
gate i'm the garden. and worked this
mine with such skill and industry that
before the end of the summer she and
her descendants had gnawed a great hole
in il as big as a teapot. She even en-
dancered The stability Of the structure.
Wasps seem to moisten the pulp as they
knead IL with a secretion from their
mouths, the analogue. l suppose, of sa-
Iva; they use their powerful jaws TO
reduce the little balls Of torn wood to
this pulp. and then to spread it into
thin sheets Of papery layers
The cells built Of the paper so pre-
pared are hexagonal. like those Of the
common hive bee: and. indeed, wasps
and bees. in spite Of ethical divergencies,
are descended from a single very early
ancestor. many of whose domestic tricks
and traits both great groups OF social
insects retain most faithfully. But while
the bees have learned to build great
many more cells than they need for the
use Of their grub, and to employ the SUI
pernumerary ones as stOrehOuses or jars
for preserving honey. the wasps only
make just as many cells as they mean
to III with larvae. and bring up young
grub in each at least three times over IN
a single season. The fact is, the heXa-
gonal cell was originally intended as a
cradle for the larvae alone; the beehive
has diverted it in part from its primitive
purpose, and has applied it TO a new and
wholly economical object. Wasps are
bees which have never learnt honey
making.-Longman's Magazine.

How She Dodged the Cable Cars.

4 gentleman who until recently lived
n life of bachelor ease IN apartments on
the west side Of Broadway, below Forty
second street, had strange experience
when he moved into house on the east
side of the great thoroughfare through
which the cable cars run He had for
an attendant an old Southern negress,
who came in each day promptly at Il
o'clock to clean up his rooms. She was
a faithful servant and prompt TO the
minute. She, too, lived on the west side
of the city. not many blocks from the
house i'm which her masters apartments
were situated.
Trouble came when he moved TO the
caet side of Broadway. The day after
tho change the faithful Jennie failed 70
pat in an appearance at the customary
hour. Half past twelve came and still
no Jennie One o'clock passed without
her coming, and 1t was nearly two when
she at last appeared. tired and nearly out
OF breath. The master was starting to
berate her for her surprising hardness
and sharply asked her why she was so
late.
ION. mew she said. 'it was all on ac-
count o. dem awful trolley cars"

she had walked away up o Fifty
ninth street, TO Central Park, just 10
dodge the trolley cars" as she called
them. After a week, when all persua-
sion had failed to convince her that she
was in no danger of being killed, he
finally had to move back 70 his old quar-
ters rather than lose his faithful servant.
