The Mummy to the Bride.

Your hair is gold, oh, maiden fair,
And sweet your face to see.
Your brow unyexed with passing care,
Save as you pity me.
You smile, as well becomes a bride,
And linger, gazing here;
My sightless eyes are opened wide,
Unmoyed by love or fear.
And love, though older than the Nile,
Remains forever young;
Before yon pyramidal pile,
Or Mennon's song was sung.
Before old Karnak's stones were laid,
Or Luxor's arches sprang,
Before the sphinx had cast shade,
Or Thebes it's hammers rang.
Where plighted vows and lovelit souls
That made the waste abloom;
To be, at last, as time unrolls,
But ashes in tomb.
By ancient shrines and tempted ways
That lie in ruins now,
They filleted my braids with bays,
| And there God heard my VOW.
A golden serpent twined my arm,
| A bee in amber set
And hoped with gold, household
charm
Nor death makes me forget.
The songs, the dance, my robes and
crown,
Yet thrill my finger tips;
The kingly kiss as he bent down
Still burns upon my lips.
The barges on the stream at night,
The music's rise and fall,
The cadenced oars, the fame of light,
The lotus blooms and all.
Four thousand years ago and more
The king made his bride;
But why repeat the story Ger
We lived, we loved, we died.
My shriveled lips are parched and dry,
My baubles blown with rust,
A withered heart, a sightless eye,
For centuries are dust.
break the seals to say the word
That love which once the heart has
stirred
With fitful, failing breath,
Is mightier than death.
And you may weep or smile, my dear,
Here by the rivers flow,
AS you love now, the mummy here
Loved age on age ago.

How to Press Ones Luck.

nights rest, feeling refreshed and
good-humored; but the frst thing

the center of this cardboard paste an.

lowing to the natural diffidence OF
flies not much Is known of their
family arrangements or how long
they live after they get to be old
enough to vote. 1t is estimated,
though, that if papa and mamma OF
the early spring could hold out to at
tend a family reunion of their off
spring held in the latter part of
August upward of 100000 of their
own blood and kin would come to the
picnic, not counting maggots in arms.
Fortunately for them papa and NAM

fortnight Even a fy's perseverance
would be unequal to the task of keep

AS Artemus Ward says, This is

Fortunately for us flies do not live
much longer than fortnight, for if
they were long-lived and preserved
their fecundity man would soon be
forced to look for some place where
things were not quite so crowded and

However. it is well to point out
that the saving clause, it is esti-

estimated about the life history of the
fly for the reason that the beast Is
hard to rear. Other insects will live,
move and have their being in box
with a gauze over it and let in the
air and light. But fit up the most
luxurious quarters for flies, well aired
and lighted, stocked with all the del
icacies of the stable and the garbage
box, and the inmates incontinently
turn up their toes and die. While the
entomologist wonders what for, a
fly buzzes past his ear. He chases it
away. 1t comes back. He slaps at
it. 1t lodges, buzzing gleefully, and
alights again. He flutters his hand
and shooes it from him. He thinks
it is simply another case of a fly's
perseverance. He does not know, he
cannot understand that it is mocking
his failure with the cry of 'A-a-a-a-ah!

Wainwright smiled in a meaningless
way. Mechanically he drew his hand
across his forehead, then pressed the
lids down over his staring eyes. Sc
that was why Dixon had smiled al

no, 1t was all just a mistake. 1t must
have been he, Wainwright, who had
died and been cast into outer darkness

it should be so, no more than justice
