A BEAUTIFUL POEM.

Several weeks ago there was publish

poem called "The Dying Wife" The

poem as it did not appear in his paper.
The following is the poem asked for,
as it was first published in 1851.
THE DYING WIFE.
Lay the babe upon my bosom, let me
feel her sweet, warm breath
For strange chill passes DER me, and
| know that il is death;
I would gaze upon the treasure scarce
ly given ere | go;
Feel her rosy, dimpled fingers wander
DER my check of snow.
/ am passing through the waters; but a
blessed light appears
Kneel beside me, husband, dearest, let
me kiss away thy tears;
Wrestle with thy grief, as Jacob strove
from midnight until day;
1t may leave an angels blessing when
it vanishes away.
Lay the babe upon my bosom; 'tis not
long she can lie there;
See how to my heart She nestles---'tis
the pearl | love to wear.
If in after years beside thee sits another
in my chair.
Though her voice be sweeter music,
and NY face than hers less fair;
II chcrub calls thee father, far more
beautiful than this;
Love thy first-born, O, my husband
Turn not from the motherless.
Tell her sometimes of her mother.-you
will call her by my name;
Shield her from the winds of sorrow
if she err, o, gently blame.
Lead her sometimes where I'm sleeping;
l will answer if she calls,
And my breath will stir her ringlets
when my voice in blessing falls
And her soft blue eyes will brighten
with a wonder whence it came
Ia her heart, when years pass DER her,
she will find her mothers name.
| 1t is said that every mortal walks be-
tween two angels here;
One records the i'll, but blots it if be.
fore the midnight drear
Man repenteth; if uncancelled then, he
seals it for the skies,
And the rignt-hand angel weepeth
bowling low with yelled eyes.
| will be her right-hand angel, sealing
up the good for heaven
Striving that the midnight watches
find no misdeeds unforgiven.
You win not forget me, darling, wher
I'm sleeping meath the sod;
Love the babe upon my bosom, as
love thee---neXt to God.

OLD AND NEW BUILDINGS.

An important work is soon 10 be be-
gun at Spalato, in Dalmatia. This will
be the building of n central museum in
which ,he collection at present scat
tered among four buildings will be
brought together, including the objects
found in Salona and in the palace of
Diocletian.
The architect, NJ. Redon, who has
charge of the Louvre, has resolved TO re-
store the Tuileries garden to the condi-
tion in which it was in the days of La
Notre. AS the palace does not exist to-
day, II is impossible to say whe h"l' the
old artificial style will be more pleasing
or not.
Students of architecture may have
often wondered why the two towers Of
Notre Dame at Paris, were not of the
same size. writer in one of the Eng
lish magazines has found rather Curl
Gus explanation. 1t appears that when
the cathedral was built il was the cathe-
dral of n suffraEan bishop, who was not
entitled to two towers of equal height
and for centuries the bishop of Paris
was suffragan to the bishop of Sens.

REGARDING FOOD.

Saited fish and meats are hard on the
stomach.
Apples not only are good, but contain
medicinal juices.
Rice forms the food of one-third of
the human race.
Oatmeal is q strong food and builds
up the muscle. 1t should be eaten to-
gether with bread.
Plums should not be touched unless
wholly ripe, and apricots are richer
than peaches.
Cheese, il partaken of sparingly, will
not hurt one. II toasted it is rendered
rather indigestible.
Butter, if eaten moderately, will not
prove hurtful. The system needs oils
and pure butter furnishes these.
Potatoes as a food vary in value, ac-
cording to the way they are cooked.
Roasted they are in the best form for
eating. Peasants eat potatoes to-
gether with milk, and are correct in
principle, MS the milk furnishes the ele-
ments lacking in the tubers.

APPRAISING INDIAN LANDS.

correct wrong impression that seems
to prevail throughout the northern
states in regard to settlement of this
and the Chicllasaw lands.
The Indians of the two tribes get all
the land and there will be no run made
for this portion of the territory. We
are called upon to make a just and
equitable division of all the land of
these tribes, which amounts to 1l,000,-
900 acres, and if equally divided among
the Indians would give to each about
$50 acres.
Our company of 40 men and 90 teams,
is divided up into four squads. We
commenced on the north line of Choc-
taw and run south to Texas, apprais-
ing and classifying a strip of six miles
tor a township in width, each squad
taking like strip and heading south.
When Red river is reached we turn
about and take like strip north, and
SO on until finished. The men employ
ed to prosecute this work are nearly
all men of experience in this or like
work. and had just returned from the
plains where they were part of geo
logical survey party, or surveying party
who were familiar with camp life.
Many portions of this country are Sc
rough and rocky that we cannot get

will, in many cases be tardy. The

teams, good tents and good provisions

THE latest scheme for getting to the
north pole has been suggested by A. {.
jackson, president of the Alaska Geo
graphical society. His idea is to start
from some point on the north coast of
Alaska with three ships, sail as far
north as possible and then tie the ves-
sells to the floating ice and drift as near
the pole as possible. Then he proposes
to unload herd of reindeer and start
overland for the north pole, unreeling
behind spool of copper wire to keep
in telephone communication with the
men aboard the vessels and to serve as
a guide TO return after the pole is
reached.
