blinds and dropped out to the ground
and fled. The money was the receipts

boy. The officers scattered out and
began to search for the culprit. Near

DEATHS FERRYMAIl.

am ferryman, old and gray,
And the river is deep and wide,
And whosoe'er crosses by night or BY day
Can never return, but forever and aye
Must remain on the other side.
The waters are cold, and the current is
swift.
And the mists hang heavy and chill,
And backward and forward they slowly
drift,
With never break. and they never lift,
Though they seem to be never still.
The heavens are dark, and the course is
long,
But my boat is staunch and true,
And the waves are rough, but my arm is
strong,
And safely 1 ferry the ghostly throng
To the shore. mist hidden from view.
All are equal who cross with me,
Beggar and millionaire,
Vassal md king and bond and free,
Peasant and noble OF high degree,
The maid and her lady fair.
The weary toiier who longs for rest,
Brave youth and manhood proud,
The crying one with his sins confessed,
The einless babe on the mothers breast
And the mother with sorrow bowed.
Some on their journey set forth alone,
With trembling and axious fears,
Some amid waiting, with sob and moan
And prayers that their lives had never
known
And heartbreak andbitter tears.
Man brought naught into the world save
death,
And naught can he take away;
Naked was he when he first drew breath
And naked will be when he goeswith death
On his silent, mysterious way.
So all are equal whom death sets free,
To cross to the distant strand,
And king and vassal and bond and free,
Whether of lcwly or high degree,
Must all cross the river of death with me
To enter that unknown land.

Il have never had days sick
ness in my life,'' said a middle aged
man the other day.
"What a comfort it. would be,n
sighs the poor invalid, $50 be in his
place for year or two" Yet half
of the inyalids we see might be just
as healthy as he, if they would only
take proper care of themselves, eat
proper food-and digest it.
It's so strange that such simple
things are overlooked by those who
want health.
Food makes health.
1t makes strength-and strength
wards off sickness. The man who
has never been sick was strong be-
cause he always digested his food
and you could become the same by
helping your stomach to work as
well as his. Shaker Digestive Cor
dial will help your stomach and will
make you strong and healthy by
making the food you eat make you

The pope is one Of the weaIthiest
men 10 the world. In his home, the
Vatican, a palace which contains
seven thousand rooms, the wealth OF
gold objects stored there is esti-
mated at twenty millions of dollors,
by weight alone, and each piece has
been increased in value a quarter or
third by the skilled artisans
through whose hands it has passed.
These treasures are practically the

GIBBONS HOUSE AT LAUSANNE.

GIBBONS HOUSE AT LAUSANNE.
The house Of Gibbon, 10 which he
completed his "Decline and Fall OF
Rome" is in the lower part OF the
town ofLausanne, behind the church
OF st. Francis, and on the right Of
the road leading down to 0nchy.
Both the house and the garden have
been much changed. The wall Of
the Hotel GIbbon occupies the site OF
his summer house, and the berceau
walk has been destroyed to make
room for the garden of the hotel;
but the terrace looking over the lake
and few acacias, remain.
Gibbons record of the completion
OF bis great labor is very impressive
and is as follows: aft was on the

tiously forward. The spectators
held their breath in expectation of a
thrilling spectacle. Nearer and
nearer moved the torch, but still
the gas failed to ignite. Even when
the fame was directly over the ORR
fee in the top Of the old pump-pipe
the gas would not catch.
The stockholders began to mutter
a little, but Prof Mellick quoted
them for moment by declaring that
the gas was too wet to burn.
When he looked over the crowd
to observe the effect upou Kajones,
that citizen had disappeared. Still
the stockholders seemed suspicious,
and Kajones, considerable distance
away in the darkness, saw them Dig
giug by the light of the torch on
the pole.
Ten minutes later he heard shout
OF DISNEY, followed by a roar that
eclipsed the best efforts OF the roarer
from Roarville.
They've found the dogsip Ka-
jones told himself.
1t seems that, having bad his
sheep killed by sundry dogs, Ka-
jones had retaliated by slaughtering
every canine that came about his
place. These he would dispose of
by throwing them down the unused
we'll in Puckersmith's back pasture
at the dead hour of midnight and
shoveling quantity of dirt upon
each carcass. This effectually con-
cealed his work and saved him the
trouble of digging graves at the
same time.
BY the time the last dog was
buried, the ending Of whole inter
ment Prof. Mellick had witnessed,
the we'll was filed up, and the dogs
at the bottom had become odori-
ferrous enough to eclipse the quites
senco of eivet cat, and even make
fried garlic and Limburger look to
their laurels.
AS Kajones gazed, two men burst
from the excited group about the
dead-dog gss-well, and dashed
across the pasture, with the others
in hot pursuit. / say hot pursuit
advisedly, for the swiftest of the
pursuers held long pole with the
torch on the end, and seemed trying
to set the man afire as they ran.
Puckersmith's hair caught fire,
and this episode so accelerated his
motions that the procession was
speedily distauced by what looked
for little while like a runaway
comet, and then disappeared head
foremost in the little cow-pond with
a solemn and soulful 'kerplunk!"
The torch touched Prof. Mellick
just as he reached the fence, and
the fame, literally applied in his i'm.
mediate past, seemed to lift him
bodily over the fence.
He lit on the dead run and di.ap-
peared in the darkness; then the
torch went out, and the crowd dis.
persed.
And the moon set between the
hour of one o'clock and old man
Dawson's house, and the night wind,
softly straying over Puckersmith's
pasture, gained an added perfume
from the abandoned gas.well.

INTREPID SECRETARIES.

Marshal Junot, being a good
pensman, Napoleon frequently en-
ployed him in writing dispatches.
On one occasion, as he was writing
a letter ct Napoleon's dictation, he
happened to be seated In rather an
exposed situation, and, just as he
had finished the letter, shell from
the enemy exploded, near him, and
almost buried the marshal with
earth. "In very good time" ex-
claimed the intrepid Junot eve
wanted some sandI' This circum-
stance led to the promotion of the
brave Junot.
At Marengo, whilst Napoleon re-
connoitered the enemy's movements
and gave his orders in writing,
cannon ball struck the officer to
whom he was debating, aud threw
him mutilated on the ground. Ma
poleon ordered another secretary.
He came, but at the moment when
Napoleon resumed his dictation, the
wounded officer raised himself.
General" said he, in dying voice,
"General we stopped there" And
he repeated the last words that Ma
poleon had dictated, and expired.

sHAKEspEARE's ANAcHRoN1Ms.

Shakespeare, the worlds great
poet, was guilty of some glsring er-
rors. which may be surprising TO
some, when they become aware Of
them, for they are such as are not
readily detected.
In the"Comedy of Brrors." speak.
ing Of the ancient city of Ephesus,
we find allusion made TO ducats,
marks and guidlers, as we'll as to an
abbess of a.nunnery and also to a
striking clock, things then unknown
in that ancient city.
In "King John and Macbeth" we
find reference made to cannon. We
do not learn that any record hA
been made OF this strange anachron-
ism.
In "Cariolanus" reference is made
to Alexander. Cato, and Galen, all
Of whom lived long subsequent to
his day.
Cassius, il" Julius Caesar speaks
of clock striking. He must have
been endowed with a Secr's proph.
etc vision.
Similar mistakes occur in "Cym.
beline" and some other plays Of
Shakespeare; but in "King Learn
they are as thick as "leaves In Val
lambrosa." Among others, Kent
talks like good Protestant Of eat
ing no fish, and Gloster OF not being
compelled 10 the use of spectaclesl
Surely II must have been Master
Shakespeare that was short sighted.
