ENerN year
Life IL a chorus Of losses
Every year;
For the weak are heavier crosset
Every year.
Lost springs with soba replying
Unto weary autumn's signing.
While those We love are dying.
Every year
The days have less Of gladneus.
Every year:
The nights more weight Of sadness.
Every year.
Fair springs no longer charm us.
The winds and weather harm ua.
The threats Of death alarm us.
Every year.
There come new cares and sorrowA
Every year;
Dark days and darker morrowa,
Every year.
The ghost " dead loves haunt US.
The ghosts Of changed friends taunt ne.
Ana disappointments daunt va.
Every year
To the pas, 20 more dear faces.
Every year.
And the loved leave vacant places
Every year:
Everywhere the sad eyes meet Us.
In the evenings dusk they greet uA
And TO come TO them entreat Us.
Every year.
''You are growing DID," they tell US.
Every year;
You are more alone they tell ur.
Every year;
You can win no new affection,
You have only recollection.
Deeper sorrow and detection,
Every year"
Too truei Life's shores are shifting,
Every year;
And We are seward drifting,
Every year.
Old places, changing. fret M.
The living more forget Us,
There are fewer TO regret US.
Every year.
But the truer life draws higher.
Every year.
And it, morning star climbs higher,
Every year:
Earth'a hold on Us grows slightcr.
And the heavy burdens lighter.
And the Dawn Immortal brighter.
Every year.
Albert Pike.

Baltimore Sun: Stewards barkentlns
Priscilla. Captain Sprlngsteen, from
Rio Janelro. arrived with $4,000 bags
OF coffee and an embryo menagerle on
board. Every sailor had a parrot and
one had a monkey, which he cherished
with almost parental affection. Along
side these pets OF the crew Captain
springsteen had an improvlsed aqua

which had been placed In his care by
officers OF the United States gunboat
Wilmington. The turtles were "ba-

turtles. hut closes up like an accordion.
These queer little specimens have had
the tender solicitude OF Capt SPRING
steen on the voyage. One became 80
tame as TO eat out OF the captains
hand. The donkey-eared. telesooping-
head fellow. no doubt proud OF chArAc-
terlstics not natural TO his fellow-tur-
ties, refused TO receive his rations until
dropped into the aquarium.

Ada Rehan. according to a close

From the New York Journal: The
peculiar conduct OF black Spanish
hen owned by Raphael Naar OF la
Fayette street, Elizabeth. N, j., has
caused not only curiosity but wonder
among the people OF the city who have
ilocked to see II. The hen was pre-
scented TO Mr.. Mar by his brother. who

black Spanish chicks. but the hen
kept laying on but would never set
on her own eggs or any other hens
riggs and. In fact. exhibited an aversion
TO any hen that did hatch out chicks,
and would frequently peck vlclously
at the little fellows II they came in
her way. During the latter part OF
June the hen began to molt and shed
her feathers and for several weeks she
was forlorn-looklng chicken. Fin
ally the feathers began TO come In and.

beautiful rooster tail. prettily arched
and assuming all the colors OF the pea
cock tail. began to appear. Then spurs
were discovered peeplng out OF her
legs, followed by beautiful red comb
on the top OF her head. This trans

when he saw the hen fly on the top OF
