Unending.

There is an end to kisses and to signs;
There ia an end to laughter and to tears,
An end to fair things that delight our eyes,
An end to pleasant sounds that charm our ears,
An end to enmity's foul libelinR
And to the gracious praise Of our tender friend
There is end to all but one sweet thing
To love there is no end
That warrior carved an empire with his sword.
The empire now is but like him--a name.
The statesman spoke, and by burning word
Kindled nations heart into fame.
Now naught Is left but ashes, and we bring
Our homage to new men; to them we bend.
There Is an end to all but one sweet thing
To love there Ia no end.
All beauty fades away, or else, alasi
Mems eyes grow dim, and they no beauty see.
The glorious shows of nature pass and pass.
Quickly they come, as quickly do they flee;
And he who hears the voice of welcoming
Hears next the slow, sad farewell of his friend
There is end to all but one sweet thing
To love there is no end
ALI the Year Round.

Carrier.PigeOns.

In the middle of the square around
which the Herald building is built in
New York city is a carrier-pigeon house
on a level with the roof. Great care is
taken with the pigeons. Their pedigree
is kept and they are all named. Then,
too, mark is stamped on their under
wings, 80 there shall be no mistake,
and by this means they have often been
recovered and sent home when they
have lost their bearings or have been
stolen. The man whose duty it is to
attend to them takes personal interest
in each and every kind. When news
paper tug starts down the bay for the
yacht races, one of the principal articles
taken aboard is basket with carrier
pigeons, and each bird has brass band
on its foot. At different times during
the race messages are written on the
thinnest of paper and made into small
parcels. These are attached to the
band, and the birds thrown up into the
air. A pair are usually sent eff together,
as they fly better, it is thought, in that
way. For moment they wheel about
apparently dazed, poise themselves for
perhaps second, and then fly straight
for home. On one of these races flom
half an hour to thir'y-fve minutes was
the longest time taken flom the nome Mt
they were thrown into the air until
they arrived at their destination, and
the messages were taken from their
feet. 1t was beautiful sight, and a
wondrous one, to see these birds arrive.
Curiously enough, in some instances
they brought back with them strange
pigeons who had joined them on the
trip, evidently much interested to know
the outcome of the yacht-race. The
strange birds did not stay at the cCte
after nightfall, and apparently felt
themselves quite out of place with
pigeons of such intelligence.-Harper's
Round Table.

MISCELLANY.
Heat Beneath and Cold Above Us,

Beneath the peninsula of Lower
Michigan there are brines and sheets
OF mineral water lying in basin form,
and very rich in salt, bromides, etc.,
and OF great medical and commercial
value. They have been reached by
numerous wells which run down TO
about 5000 feet near the center OF the
basin, as at Alma and Bay City, water
comes up from the bottom of these
wells hot (over ninety degrees), show
ing decidedly more rapid increase in
temperature than in the copper mines.
But the famous Comstock lode, where
fabulous wealth lured the miners on,
showed perhaps the most rapid increase
in temperature that man has ever dared
to face. 1t was, however, doubtless
due to the action of hot waters rising
same waters that deposited the silver
ores, still at work. In the mines of this
region the miners, naked as savsges,
reeking with perspiraiion, drinking
pailful after pailful of ice water (twenty
tons of ice, or in another case, ninety
five pounds per man we're used each
day., could labor but ten minutes at the
drift, in imminent danger of being
scalded by striking a stream of hot
water before being overcome by the
heat and Keeling TO a cooler place.
Painting, delirium, even death, have
been the effect of the reaction on COM
ing to the surface. Verify the Cuban
proverb, that Yankee would be found
to go after a sack of coffee though it
were at the gates of hell, was not far
from the literal truth. However the re- te
of increase of temperature may vary, all
indications thus agree that less than ten
miles below us red heat is attained and
within twenty white heat. Think of
It'll Ten miles below US it is red hot.
Ten miles above US we have the pitiless
cold, far below zero, of interplanetary
space. To what a narrow zone of
delicately-balanced temperature is life

Cures Every Form of Inflammation.

81 was recently reading, said Lionel,
gravely, that we ought never to make
sport of any ones infirmities."
ooh, did not mean that o." ex-
claimed Daisy, tear coming to her
eye. "Only, you know, the thought
occurred to me, and L couldn't keep
from saying it,"
Children" said Mr.. Wslwoith,
"not many years ago, she could walk
as well as any OF US. But one night
she and her parents were stopping at
large hotel, in which, when every
one but herself was asleep, terrible
fire broke out. She rushed through
the building, waking every one pos
sible, and in that way saved score OF
lives. AT last, half suffocated by the
smoke, she fell from top to bottom of
long staircase, and lay there when l
found her and carried her to her pa
rents. l might well do So; for mine
was one of the lives che saved"
Daisy nestled closely in her fathers
lap, and half extended her arms, as If
she were afraid that the house was
a.fre now, and wished TO take him
up bodily, and carry him down stairs.
The remainder of the family stood lis
tening, wi blanched faces, to a story
they had never before heard.
"She was brought back to life,' con-
tinued Mr.. Walworth, but the ply 81
clan said she could never walk again.
1t was long time before l could get
her to marry me: she thought about it
just as you did. AT last gained her
consent; but she made me promise that
| would never tell the story of the res
cuing, until she had won your 1--we in
the regular way. | see plainly that with
one look she has done that; and so, here
is the story"
1t is needless to say that the life
saving ttepmother was adopted into the
Walworth family without a dissenting
voice. They soon found that she had a
capacity for quiet, harmonious manage
ment; that she could rule without being
present or seeming to rule; and that the
house had head, although the use of
the feet was lacking. She could sit in
her loom and seem somehow to know
what was going on all over the house.
The cooks felt her influence in the
kitchen, although it was very seldom
that she was carried in there; the butch
ers were somehow more afraid of her
gentle disapproval away off there in her
room than they were of Eugene and
Frederick right on the spot. The house
hold was henceforLh not only as happy
as ever, but more united and thrifty;
and Mr.. Walworth, although he spent a
good deal of time in his wife's loom,
was more to his children than ever.
81 have read somewhere" said Lii
onel, one evening, holding the hand of
his stepmother, and looking over a new
list of books she had made out for him
to get from the public library, that we
must always expect the unexpected.
But never realized the truth of it, I'M
til-the best woman in the world came
here to be our new stepmother."-

April Rain.

Down from thy home of cloud and mist,
o, fall lovingly, April ranl
Wash the grey from the amethyst,
Melt the hearts of these lingering drifts,
Plead till thy patient lips have kissed
The earth to its spring. life the while thy gifts
(Joy, hope, freshness) thou lavishest
Wide over hill and plain.
Call to the robin, whose rudy breast
Throbs with the JOY of his first sweet strain;
Bid him put on his brightest vest,
Bid him come up in the elms and sing,
Sing his sweetest, and hutter his best,
Till our full hearts ache with the Joy of spring,
Ache with a blissful pain oppressed,
Beautiful April rainl
Over the graves of the loved asleep.
o, fall tendery, April rain
Not with loud and passionate sweep,
But quietly like the fall of tears
From the loving eyes of those who weep
The beauty and bliss which coming years,
Whatever measures of Joy they heap.
Can never restore again
Cali to the timid flowers which stay
In the prisoning earth, where the drifts have lain
With thy patejng fingers brush away
The leaves which wrap them like burial shrouds
Lure them out to the loving day,
Bid them come up in blushing crowds
To broider the dripping skirts of May,
Beautiful April rain.
over the hopes which moulder low
o, fall tenderly, April ranl
Buried away from us, long ago,
Under the wearsome worlds dead leaves,
Iifeess and voiceless who may know.
But haply thy vital voice, that gives
Life and leaf to the roots below,
May bid them arise again?
