eS~ AFTER A YEAR.

The slender lilies nod their heads
On either side the garden way,
And all along the flower beds
Tall foxgloves stand in fair array.
The throstle in the pear tree near
Still carols as when first we came
The same old song he sang last year,
- And we, we are no more the same.
Eow strong the lilies SMELL How neat
The ordered rose beds, row on rowi
It's still the scene that seemed so sweet
A year ago-a Year Ae6. -S-~-
We noticed how that apple bough
Stood out so green against the sky.
It's Just as fair as ever now, a.
But we are altered-you and /.
The days have come between us two
And moved as ever more apart.
We cannot, rs we uskl to do,
Tell TO each other all our heart.
Only year since last we met,
But in that year what things have been
We walk, we talk together, yet
We cannot bridge the gulf between.
All looks unchanged, save we alone,
We've drifted into other ways.
Time turns the page, the past is gone,
And naught restores the vanished days
The flying hours new scenes reveal
We never fancied-you and l.
They could come when we should feel
No longer sad to say goodby.

The National Army of France.

The great armies of the French
republic had been created by Carnot,
with the aid of his able lieutenant,
Dubois dc GRANGE. They were or
ganized and directed by the unassist-
ed genius of the former. Being the
first national armies which Europe
had known, they were animated as
no others had been by that form of
patriotism which rests not merely
on animal instinct, but on princi-
pie. They had fought with joyous
alacrity for the assertion, confirma-
ton and extension of the rights of
man In the march of events their
patriotism, grounded in Rousseau s
doctrines, had brought into promi-
hence his conception of natural
boundaries. There was but one opin-
ion in the entire nation concerning
its frontierS-to wit, that Nice, Sa-
voy and western Rhine border were
all by nature part of France. AS
to what was beyond opinion was di-
vided, some feeling that they should
continue fighting in order to impose
their own system wherever posi-
ble, while others, and they by far
the largest number, were either in
different or else maintained that the
nation should fight only for its nat
ural frontier. To the support of the
latter sentiment came the general
longing for peace which was grad
ually overpowering the whole coun-
try.-Professor w. M. Sloane's Life
of Napoleon" in Century.

The Latest Outrage

which the people of the South
are resenting, is the efforts of
some to sell them limitations for
the real Simmons Liver Regu-
lator, because they make more
money by the imitation and
they care little that they swindle
the people in selling them an
inferior article. It's the money
they are after, and the people can
look out for themselves. Now
this is just what the people are
doing, and merchants are having
a hard time trying to get people
to take the stuff they offer them
in place of Simmons Liver Reg
ulator-which is the "King of
Liver Medicines" because it never
fails to give relief in all liver

General Crosby had mania for burning
down bridges. Whenever he heard there
was bridge in his neighborhood he
promptly had it laid low. His continuous
destruction of bridges several times got
himself and his men in tight places, where
a bridge would have come in mighty handy,
and resulted in an uneasy feeling among
his men.
He moved into Virginia in the neighbor-
hood of the Natural bridge. and one day
gave his men permission to inspect the
great natural wonder. Two cavalrymen.

Bnrnunl's Head for Busine ss,

From the Troy Times.
The recent marriage of the widow OF P.
r. Barnum to a wealthy Greek has brought
out story of how the great Snowman won
his English bride. 1t was his theory that
the people liked to be humbugged, and he
made good use of the idea In the manage
Of his show, but it will be news to many
that he worked the same scheme in secur-
Ing his British wife. AS the story goes,
Barnum at the time was mayor of Bridge
port. He was lonesome, and his beautiful
home, Waldemere. on the shore of Long
Island sound, was not much visited, except
by sightseers. He became interested in the
beautiful daughter of John Fish of South
port, England, retired manufacturer, and
solicited her hand in marriage.
Barnum was we'll advanced in years, and
knew his fame the prince of showmen
was not sufficient to win the prize. In
fact, that fame might have hurt his suit
more than helped it. for Miss Fish greatly
dISl1ked the notoriety attached to the
greatest show on EARTH" and after she
married its owner always managed to hold
herself aioof from the publicity her hus-
band loved so well. But the old showman's
knowledge of the English love for official
celebrity led him to play a winning card
He had his photograph taken, with Waldo
mere as a background The picture :'epre-
sented him seated in a SNOWY landau, har-
messed to four beautiful black horses, his
coachman on the box and two footmen up
behind Under the photograph were the
words. Lord Mayor of Bridgeport" A
copy Of this picture was forwarded to Miss
Fish, and Barnum always thought 1t did
the business"
