The Last Loop Excursion

OF the season will be run by the Gulf
Road Sunday, Sept. 10th. The same
cheap rates as have been made for for
mer excursions of this character will pre-
vail and the train service will be con.
venient as usual. Those who have failed
to take this trip heretofore should not on
any account miss this last opportunity.
This is generally conceded to be the
grandest one day trip in the world, and
pictures or word descriptions fail utterly
to adequately give an idea of its grand
eur. The Gulf Road has issued beau
tifu! book descriptive of this marvellous
road and splendidly illustrated. called
"A Day in the Canons," copy of which
may be had free upon application to any
agent OF the Gulf. If you have not seen
the bills announcing the rates and train
arrangements for this occasion, please
ask the nearest Gulf agent about it.

profitable business by renting mourn
Ing clothes. He was, until lately, q
dealer In old clothes, and was dismaysd
1t the amount Of competition. Every
body seemed to him to be dealing in
that commodity. A friend short Of
cash, whose father died, borrowed q
mourning outfit from him one day,
paying a small sum for the loan. This
transaction suggested to the dealer the
idea Of hiring out mourning dress a. o.

his peculiar trade well patronized. He

Remarkable Feats of Memory.

Morton, a celebrated Irishman, could
repeat from memory any discourse he
had once listened to; whilst Schenk%'.
who invented one Of the ARTS Of NJ
Dry" could repeat three hundred afn;-
trsrily connected words, and over two
hundred sentences, all in the same or
der In which he had heard them. II is
said OF F1orsntine Magliabecchi that
he could not only remember the entire
contents of any book he had read, but
he could give at once the number Of
the page upon which any quotation
therefrom occurred. This marvel Of
his age could also describe in minute
detail every place he had once visited.
Some minds have a wonderful cspa-
city for imbibing languages. Perhaps
the most extraordinary Of these the
world has ever seen was the case OF
Mezzofanti. This genius was the son
OF carpenter, but in early youth was
adopted by a priest, who had him edu-
Gated for the priesthood. Before the
completion Of his university career,
hezEofanti had completely mastered ths
Latin. Greek. Hebrew, Arabic. Spanish,
French, German and Swedish Ian
Euases. In 1S41 Guido CORES wrote
that Mszzofanti could read and write
forty different languages; and 1t is stat
% that 30 well acquainted was he with
ali dialects and provincfs1isms that he
could detect the precise part Of the
country to which a man belonged. His
proficiency may be further understood
when It is said that he was at different
times taken to be Portuguese and an
Englishman, by inhabitants Of these
respective countries. Before his death,
Cardinal Mezzofanu was acquainted
with between seventy and eighty differ
ant languages.

But our hearts grow weary, and ere

Our lives are trailing In the Sordid way.
We hope, we aspire. We resolve. We
pray,
And we think that we mount the air
on wings,
Beyond the recall OF sensual things,
While our feet still cling to the heavy
clay.

We may borrow the wings to md the
way.
We may hope and aspire and resolve
and pray,
But our feet must rise or well fall

From the wary earth to the sap
phire walls;
But the dreams depart and the vision
falls
And the sleeper wakes on his pillow OF
