The Fate of Beauty.

AS rising it's purple wing
The 1nSect-queen Of eastern spring,
Ger emerald meadows of Kashmeer
Invites the young pursuer near, 3.
And leads him on from flower to flower
A weary chase and wasted hour;
Then leaves him, as 1t scars on high,
With painting heart. and fearful eye;
So beauty lures the full-grown child,
With hue as bright. and wing as wild,
chase of idle hopes and fears,
Begun in folly, closed in tears.
If won, to equal ills betrayed,
Wo waits the insect and the maid,
A life Of pain, the loss of peace,
From infants play, and mans caprice:
The lovely toy so fiercely sought
Hath lost it's charm by being caught.
For every touch that wooed its stay
Hath brlish'd its brightest hues away:
Till, charm, and hue, and beauty gone,
It's left to fly fall alone.
With wounded wing, or bleeding breast,
All! where shall either victim rest?
Can this with faded pinion soar
From rose to tulip as before?
Or beauty, blighted in an hour,
Find joy within her broken bower7
No! gayer insects f1uttering by
Neer droop the wing DER those that die
And lovelier things have mercy shown
To every failing but their own;
And every wo tear can claim
Except an erring sisters shame.
El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1899-09-23

More uncomfortable even than ga
cat in strange garrett must be a cat
in a crystal maze"-a series of mir
rors so arranged that, once in, it is
hard to find ones way out. A strange
cat strayed into the maze at Jackson
Vile, and had bad time of it. Walk
ing around between the mirrors she
saw her own reflection on all Sides
She was not well pleased. Her tail
started to swell, and she rushed at the
nearest cat, which advanced to meet
her at the same rate OF speed. With
shrek of defiance they met, and the
feline fell back from
fearful bump against a mirror. Up
she jumped and looked around, only
to see an array of abused cats staring
at her. When she moved 125 others
moved also. With a howl Of disgust
she turned and fled. Groups of cats
greeted here everywhere as she rushed
into mirrors and tried to climb the
slippery surface of the glass. In the
course of a few minutes the animal
ran through the exit of the crystal
maze as if shot from a catapult. With
wo jumps she rushed to the street and
disappeared in one of the adjacent
houses, very badly "rattled' cat.

The Story of Searchlight.

| On nearly every battleship there is a
| mascot, and 1 am now going to tell
about the mascot on the Olympia, a
ship every boy and girl in the United
States is interested in. The Olympia's
mascot was a little boy not more than
IA years of age. His name I do not
know, but while engaged in war he
was called Searchlight by the sailors,
for reason will explain. It was night
and the Olympia was out on the
ocean and it was very dark, so dark
that not an object could be discerned
on the vast sea. Suddenly the crew
was startled by the sound of a shot.
One of the sailors turned the search
light with its glare toward the direc-
ton from which the noise came, and
discovered a gunboat not far from
them. An order was given for the
light to be turned out, as it was feared
that the gunboat was an enemy and
that it's crew would see the Olympia.
The little mascot cried out, Turn it
on again." The sailor who heard the
order thought that it was given by an
officer, and he again threw the light
toward the other boat, and the brave
mascot yelled, "a Spanish gunboat!"
and the crew looked and saw the boat
turned toward them with its big can
non, ready for action. 1t was but
second, and the noble sailors were in
the midst of battle. Our American
boys won the victory. The Olympia
and its men were saved from an awful
fate by the little mascot, Searchlight.
While in Manila he died of fever. And
not only did the men of the Olympia
mourn his death, but also our brave |
and honored Admiral Dewey.-Eleanor |
