Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet,
Not far from a summer hotel,
A young nan he spled her
And sat down beside her
And courted this shy little belle.
Let's elope, dear! said he,
Pm with you! said she,
So off in a hurry they raced,
For fear that papa,
Ere they had gone far,
Would start in pursuit with hot haste.
But pa, the next day.
I've heard people say,
Sent, to free their young minds of suspense
These words, sweet and mild
God bless you, my child:
Yon have saved me enormous expense.

me song OF tne Leaves
The dead leaves sighed to the passing wind,
Carry us
Far, far from here on thy mighty wings,
Away to realms of forgotten things
Where the unwept dead grave may find
Carry us!
Tho dead leaves sighed to the flying dust
Cover usl
That the butterflies fitting overhead
May see III aot unlovely and dead,
Hide Us from sight, for decay we must.
Cover usl
The dead leaves sighed to the chilling rain,
Weep for us!
For we shall blend with the roadside slim q,
And they who saw us i'll summers prime
Shall, passing by, know us not again
Weep for us!
The dead leaves sighed to the falling snow,
Bury usl
Bury us deep in untrodden ways,
Far from the glory of bygone days,
Far from the summer of long ago.
Bury us!
So the keen wind blew them far away,
The dust inwrapped them i'll clouds of gray,
The rain wept over their early doom,
And the white snow silently built their tomb.

He criticised her buildings, and he found fault

He wished she'd make such biscuits as hii

Nor even mend his stockings as his mother
used to do.

His wife seemed drudging always, yet she

If only she would manage as his mother used

All, WELL she was not perfect, though she tried
to do her best,
Until at length she thought her time had come

She turned and boxed his ears just as his

With eyes Of gold and bramble dew,
Steel true and blade straight,
The great Artiflcer made my mate.

The mighty Master gave to her.

A fellow farer true through life,
Heart whole and soul free,

SPANISH Pride!

A public man who formerly lived
much in Spain, who knows the lam
guage like a native, and who has a
large acquaintance among Spanish
politicians, has Just returned here
from a few weeks holiday, spent chief
~ in Madrid and Malaga. He says
that the condition of that country is
one of indescribable pathos. The peo-
pie are broken-hearted over the TRACE
dy which they see in the shipping Of
their young sons by ten Of thousands
to death in Cuba; but with them it is
all a matter Of savage and implacable
pride to go on and send still more.
Crowds assemble everywhere along
the routes to Cadiz, and as they wit
ness the departure Of the troops they
weep aud groan and pray; but the pat
riotic feeling is still so bitter that any
one who raised a public objection to
the sacrifice would be in imminent dan
ger of lynching. The Same spirit still
prevails in the cortes Probably ma
jority Of its members are entirely con

tician who would say so publicly
would be knitted before he could get
home. knowledge Of this IS what re-
strained Martinez Campos from telling
the truth to the cortes, as he had an
nounccd he would do, and it Is what
absolutely prohibits free speech on the
subject in Spain. It is admitted in
private talk, though, that the rich and
influential class of Cubans have finally
turned solidly against Spain, and the
gloomy impression prevails that the
insurgents will be in Havana by New
Years. What will be done then, no
one is willing to think. Meantime, fe-
rocious efforts will be made TO stamp
out the revolt in the Philippines by
using a superior force ut the start,
even il every man on the islands who
can read and write is exterminated.

A Cable Story.

a somewhat extraordinary story,
which may Or may not be reliable, has
been received from an officer on board
the cable ship John Fender, now on
the coast Of West Africa The author
ity, however, is good, and it is insisted
that the yarn is perfectly true. The
final splice in a deep water repair was
being made. The third officer was
taking the soundings with the Kelvin
apparatus usually used, the captain
looking on, a quartermaster at the
break, and the man who tells the story
standing by, looking over the stern.
With his sounding apparatus a So
pound shot is used; attached to it is
piano wire, and by means Of a patent
hook the shot is detached on striking
the bottom. a thermometer is usually
attached to the wire, close to the shct
to ascertain, for electrical purposes,
the temperature of the water at the
bottom. While sounding, the shot
struck the bottom at $40 fathoms Gas
was supposedly, the strain being sud-
denly taken off the wire, leaving it all
slack. After heaYing in about 100
fathoms the shot apparently was still
on, as the strain increased rapidly.
After taking in 800 fathoms Of wire
the wire was seen to shoot rapidly in
different directions, and then suddenly
snapped. It is assumed that sub
marine monster-for the depth Of the
water was so great that a fish accus-
toned to surface waters could not
stand the pressure-had taken a fancy
to the sounding apparatus and had
swallowed it entire. This idea Is quite
in consonance with what is known Of
the habits Of some species Of fish. For
instance, West Indian native fisher
men, who very often fish over modcr-
ately shallow coral reefs at Some dis
lance from the shore, will carry in
their canoes gourds, pieces of wood or
cocoanut husks. The negroes care lit
tie for the smaller kind Of shark which
feeds near the land, but when the great
ocean shark shows his fin in the neigh
borhood Of the canoe, they are half
scared to death, and, throwing out any
Of the articles named to distract the
attention of the fish, they paddle for
shore with all speed. Whatever OBJ
ject, be it wood, or lead, or even iron,
is thrown overheard, is Immediately
swallowed by the shark.

Ex-President Harrison Praises Both

Gen. Harrison, in his ''This Country
of Ours,'' article in the Ladies' Home
Journal, writes of the war and post
office departments and the department.
Of justice, and in connection with the
first named he pays this tribute to our
standing army: "Our army is small, in
fact, and minute when compared with
any of the armies of the great powers,
but under the operation of recent laws
relating to enlistnents, and of laws in

mote the self-respect Of the private sol
der, and to relieve him from assign
ments to mental duties, the quality and
esprit de corps Of the enlisted men are
higher, / think, than ever before, and
the character and military skill of the
officers are of a very high order.
The use of the army, either upon the
call of state to preserve the peace of
the state, or under the direct orders of
the president to suppress resistance to
the laws of the United States, has be-
come more frequent Of late years and
more than one community has owed
it's deliverance from the frenzy of a
mob to the presence Of a small detach-
ment Of United States troops mem
who do what they were ordered to do,
and nothing without orders. There isl
no menace to the liberties Of the peo-
pie in our army, but its trained and
patriotic officers may again, in the case
of a great war, as in 1861, become the
organizers and leaders Of great armiesa

men they now command, will, Withinl
