BY RICHARD HENRY WILDE.
My life is like the summer rose
That opens to the morning SKY,
And ere the shades of evening close
Is scattered on the ground to die.
But on the roses humble bed
The sweetest dews of night are shed,
As if she wept such waste to see
But none shall weep tear for me.
NV life is like the autumn leaf
That trembleS in the moons pale ray,
Its hold is frail-its date is brief,
Restless and soon to pass away.
Yet ere that life shall fall and fade,
The parent tree shall mourn its shade,
The winds bewail the leatiess tree
But none shall breathe a sigh for me.
My life is like the print, which feet
Have left on Tempe's desert strand,
Soon as the rising tide shall beat
This track shall vanish from the sand,
Yet as if grieying to etIace
All vestige of the human race
On that lone shore, loud moanS the sea-
But none shall e'er lament for me.
The following beautiful response to the
above was written by the late Mrs DIR. John
Buckler, of Baltimore, IL lady distinguished fol
her literary attainmerts.
RESPONSE.
The dews of night may fall from heaven
Upon the withered roses bed,
And tears of fond regret be given
To mourn the virtues of the dead,
But mornings breeze the dews will dry:
Soon fades the tear in sorrows eye,
Soon friendships pangs are lulled to sleep
And even Love forgets to weep.
The tree may mourn its fallen leaf,
And autumn winds bewail its bloom,
And friends may pour the sighs of grief
Der those that sleep within the tomb:
But soon will Spring restore its flowers,
And time will bring more smiling hours
In friendships heart all grief will die,
And even Love forget to sigh.
The sea may on the desert shore
Lament each trace it wears away:
The lonely heart it's wall may pour
Ger cherished friendships fast decay;
But when all trace is lost and gone,
The waves dance bright and lightly on,
Thus soon affections bonds are torn,
And even Love forgets to mourn.

THE THOROUGHBRED IN WAR.


From the Horseman.
when | went to the war in 1861 :"
wrote Senator Wade Hampton, Il
took with Inc three thoroughbred stall
lions. One was black, one was n dark
chestnut and the other was a chestnut
sorrel. My father was not only not
ed importer of running horses, but q
famous breeder of the thoroughbred as
well. | rode the black stallion at the
first Bull Run battle, where | com
manded the Hampton Legion. Atthe
famous cavalry fight at Brandy Sta
ton with Pleasanton, in 1868, | rode
the chestnut. He was a hard horse to
control in a charge, and on that day
he twice carried me into the enemy's S
lines. | rode the chestnut sorrel at
the great cavalry fight in the rear of
Meade's army on the third day at
gettysburg, and came near meeting
the same fate as that | escaped at
Brandy Station. My experience with
the thoroughbreds is, in time of war,
that they are safer horses with which
to get away from the enemy then
when you are going toward him, es-
pecially when on gallop. But when
it comes to endurance, one thorough
bred will kill three cold -blooded horses
in campaign. They will go further
with less food, go faster, and show
more courage in the face of danger.
| have ridden the stations mention
into Federal batteries and they never
flinched. All of them were wounded
three or four times, but they pulled
through. ] think II body of men
mounted on entire horses would prove
much more formidable in a charge
than the same force mounted on geld
ings of the same blood. Our ancestors
Tin ancient times) always went to war
on entire horses, and in order that
their presence might not be betrayed,
the nostrils were slit, SO that the
horses could not neigh. The Arabs in
their journeys prefer entire horses, as
they seem to have more courage, sense
and endurance than mares or geldings.
John Morgan owed his success in the
late war to the fact that in his raids
his men were mounted on Kentucky
thoroughbreds."

A FINGERLESS FAMILY.

In a Lincolnshire village in Eng
land, lives family who suffer under
the curious deformity of being finger
less. From what can be learned, the
singularity has existed in the family
so far as history or tradition extends,
and there seems at present no signs of
it's dying out, as the grandchildren are
as devoid of fingers as their grandsire.
The hands of this remarkable fam
lily present the appearance of having
had the fingers amputated, or chop
ped off roughly and unevenly below
the second joint, leaving a short
stump. There is no nail or hard sub
stance, and were it not for the absence
of anything like cicatrice a casual
observer would conclude that the de-
feet was due to an accident; but, as
though nature had attempted to COM
pensate for the absence of fingers, the
thumbs are abnormally large and
strong. One of the daughters, aged
twenty, can write, sew, knit, and is in
every way as dexterous and accom-
plished as other girls of her age and
station. When asked if she ''did not
find it awk ward to be fingerless," she
replied:
mo! If you had never had fingers,
YOU would not know you needed
them"

HE MISTRUST,ED HIS SEX.

A Durham miner, aged 70, visited
Newcastle lawyer, bachelor, for the
purpose of making his will. The old
mans property consisted of two small
cottages, which had cost him e150, and
little furniture.
The lawyer having asked his client
how he wished to dispose of his pro-
perty, the latter replied:
MA auld woman hes to hev all so
lang as she's ma widow. Either that
ma BARNS gets ALL
What age is your OLD woman?"
asked the lawyer.
'Seventy-two," replied the miner.
''And how long have you and your
wife been married?" asked the lawyer
Over so years, replied the miner.
Thereupon the lawyer suggested to
his client that he should give the wife
the interest during her life, whether
she continued widow or otherwise.
Kinney, Iwinnot. I'll hev Inc me
aan way" said the miner.
But, surely replied the lawyer,
you don't expect your old woman,
now 72 years old, would marry again
after your death?'
The miner, looking the lawyer full
in the face, answered, with much So
lemnity:
"Wey; Kinney, thor's nae knaaing
what young cheps like yourself will do

BOY,S ESSAY ON HENS.

On the subject of hens boy writes:
"He1s is curious animals. They don't
have no nose, nor no teeth nor no ears.
They swallow their wittles whole and
chew it up in their crops inside Of EN-.
The outside of hens is generally put
inter pliers and inter feather busters.
The inside of hen is sometimes filled
with marbles and shirt buttons and
such. A hen is very much smaller
than a good many other animals, but
they'll dig up more cabbage plants
than anything that amt hen. Hens
is very useful to lay eggs for plum pud-
dings. Skinny Bates eat SO much pud-
ding once that it sent him inter the
collery. Hens has got wings and can
fly when they get scarf. cut Uncle
Williams hens head off with a hatch
ct and it scarf her to death. Hens
sometimes make very fine spring
chickens"

TRATELLlNG COMPANION

An eccentric feat is shortly to be at
tempted by Il Frenchman for wager.
NJ. Wiasemsky, a gentleman well
known in Partisan fashionable circles,
has made considerable wager that
he will ride all the way from Paris to
sounds impossible, but he declares it
is not so. He proposes to ride right
across Siberia to the point where
Behring Straits, which separate that
country from Alaska, in North Amer
lea, are the narrowest, and then to
ride across upon the ice. He will be
glad, he says, to have companion.

The Captain of the Spanish Gunboat Enters Protest Against Ridiculous Stories
 Being Sent Out

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 3.-Two Spanish gunboats boarded and searched off the north coast of Cuba the small Norwegian steamship Moringen, which arrived to- day from Baracoa, loaded with bananas. The Moringen sailed from Philadelphia on November IT for Baraco, and the news of her departure was also cabled by the Spanish officials here to Cuba, and the war craft which patrol the coast were or dered to keep a good look our for the fruiter Five days after leaving the capes, and when in sight of Cuba, two Spanish war vessels appeared in sight, and the sharp report of a rapid firing gave warnings for the Moringen to heave to, which order was promptly complied with. Boat loa ds of men from one vessel boarded the fruiter, while the two war ships kept watch to prevent the escape of the fiibusters and the landing of war ma aterials, which was supposed to be on board After a thorough search nothing of a contraband character was found on board and a certificate was given to the captain of the Moringen to that effect. A protest was also forwarded by the ad- miral in charge of the search, protesting against the ridiculous stories which are continually being sent to Cuba from Philadelphia.

A DANGEROUS IDEA

to imagine that pills can strike at the root of these diseases. It has been thoroughly proved that such remedies are worse than useless. There is only one remedy which can always be de- pended upon. This remedy alone can act on the liver and kidneys when they are out of order, clear out the system and build up the health. The name of this remedy is Warmers Safe Cure. It is the only standard remedy in the world for kidney and liver complaints. It is the only remedy which physicians universally prescribe. It is the only remedy that is backed by the testi- mony of thousands whom it has re- lieved and cured.
 There is nothing else that can take it's place.
