All ME-:

We only met in the springtime.
a bow. nod and smile;
A few brief words OF greeting.
As we met and conversed awhile:
And then our lives divided,
Each turning at duty's call.
Where iife's decree had placed usi
And One TO forget 1t all
Perhaps not even a pulse-beat
Was stirred in that other breastt
But have disturbing fancIes.
That rob my days of their rest:
How | long for just the nem'ry,
OF even a handcissp sweet:
OR wish put in words At parting.
Like pray'r that again we'd meet
No token have 20 cherish.
But the soft. earessing tones;
The tender voice of "A woman.
Where'er my footstep roans;
So high on the walls OF Nem'ry.
I've hung her picture fair.
In her supple grace and beauty
And crowned with her sun-bright hair.
Again ] may never meet her;
But In every crowded place,
] look, with eager longing.
For glimpse of one fair face;
And so along hfe's journey.
We turn with eager gaze.
For Just a glimpse of a loved one,
We'd known in brighter days
But we look In vain on our pathway.
For vanished pleasures sweet;
And those we've known the briefest.
We oft most long TO meet.
Marie winsiow.

BARON MUNCHAUsEN.-The captain
of a West Indiaman, who could shoot
tolerable long-bow, told in company
the following:
"We were coming over the Banks of
Newfoundland, when we hooked an
immense shark, and there appeared a
difficulty in getting him aboard. I
went down into the cabin for my pis-
tolls, and just as I was going to fire one
of them at him it slipped out of my
hand into the sea. Soon after the
shark broke the line and made his es-
cape. Well, gentlemen, coming home
this voyage, about the same latitude,
we again hooked a shark, and with
some difficulty he was hauled on deck.
As they were cutting him up, was
surprised at the report of something
like a pistol-shot; and gentlemen,
would you believe it, this was the
identical shark which had swallowed
my pistol, and it now went off in con-
sequence of stroke of the knife with
which they were ripping up his belly.
You may think, probably, that have
used license too often INDUCED in by
travellers, and fabricated this story,
but my mate and all of my people, if
they were here, would tell you the
same"
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1897-04-21

HORSE Observation-Disclosures it
may seem almost ludicrous to think of
horses wearing spectacles, it is never
theless fact that horses do sometimes
wear them. The business of one we'll
known firm of opticians in London
consists largely in the manufacture OF
horse spectacles.
The object of the spectacles is to
promote high stepping. They are
made of stiff leather, entirely enclos-
ing the eyes of the horse, and the
glasses used are deep concave, and
large in size. The ground seems to
the horse to be raised, and he steps
high, thinking he is going uphill or has
to step over some obstacle.
The system of spectacle. wearing is
generally adopted while the horse is
young, and its effect on his step and
action is said to be remarkable. 1t
has been discovered that the cause OF
a horses shying is, as rule, short
sight, and it is now suggested that The
sight of all horses should be tested,
like that of children.
1t is maintained by those who have
made study of the subject, that by a
little artificial assistance many valua-
BILE horses, which have become opti-
cally unfit for their work, can be
restored to usefulness.
