Did Not Like sa mples.

A young man who had spent his early fife in the country, and had neves tasted the pleasures of town life, recently came to Memphis to seek his fortune. On the day of his ar- rival he went into a restaurant where business mems lunches are daily served, and ordered dinner. The wait CT brought the dinner. in all those It. tie side dishes sacred to hotel exist. ence, and arranged them in tempting array around the young mans plate. For half an hour he sat and looked at his untouched dinner, and then, over ccne by hunger, he called to the wait er and said: Look here, fellow, if you don't hurry and bring my dinner I'll eat up your samples! !"--Memphis Sckmitar.

His name was Meeson, he was aged and his generally destitute air and Wretch- ed surroundings gave his neighbora the impression that he had not a penny in the world. Out of pure charity they accordingly for many years provided him with food and clothing.

 When, in December, a woman refus- ed to remain more than one night at Analf, saying she was sure that the earth was moving. and when next day the landslip occurred, it was said, Here, at all events, one human being with the premonitory sense of eartb- quakes, with which most animals ap- pear to be endued." have been told of instance after instance of horses. dogs, monkey, and even ducks, who showed unmistakable signs of panic for q day, two days, and even longer, bee fore the last great earthquake in the Riviera. Only to name a few: 4 wom~ an at Nice remarked the miserable cons dition of the horse she usually drove, and told her coachman to take him home and order brougham from the livery stables far her. The hired horse was as timid, and seemed as weak, as her own. The driver said all the ans lmals were 7off their feet" A mon, key. two tame ducks and other pets, at villa near Yillefranehe. on the 6brove Tuesday-the day before tbo shock which destroyed so much life and property-refused to enter the house, where they were generally very happy. They were all spiritless, dull and scared. A little white lap dog, who sat on the wide arm of his mas. ter's chair at meals, and was the most sociable of pets at all other times, re- fused also to "come home to roost. ," Other dogs also eyineed an unwonted terror of being under a roof Cattle belonging to the dairies supplying tho winter resorts sickened and seemed terror-stricken--the quantity and quai- lty of the milk suffering considerably.

An Intelnational Complicati tion.

From Pagny-sur- -Moselle comes newa of an international complication which was happily resolved without the spilling Of blood. When the train which was bound for Metz drew into the station whence it should pass into German control, it was found that one of the carriages contained, censpieu- ously pasted, earicature of the Kaiser, painted with an insulting 1e. gend The German guard refused to have anything to do with such train. Now you cannot find a. train, and to immure it in a fortress is poor satis- faction. But you can cut off it's en- zine. And that the German guard threatened to do if the insult were not wiped out It was wiped out, not by blood, but by hot water applied by q earriage-cleaner.

A Natural Lighthouse.

Stroinbol, one of the Lipari islands,
has constantly and usefully performed
the function Of lighthouse for ut least
1000 years. Circular in outline, the
island eliminates in conical shaped
elevation. due TO past volcanic agen-
CIV. which rises TO the height of 3,090
feet above sea level and Is visible over
an area having radius of more than
100 miles, During the day masses OF
vapor are seen Issuing from a point
aigh up the mountain side, and at
night successive displays of red light.
varying in duration and Intensity.
somewhat resemble those of the giaan-
tic iiashlight on the coast. The flashes
last from under one to over 20 minutes,
gradually increasing to ruddy glow
and as gradually fading away.
This island Is referred to by several
very ancient writer's as the great nat
ural pharos of the western Medlter-
ranean. Now 1t serves the same pur.
pose for the constant stream Of 'traf-
hc passing to and from the French
and italian ports in the CULTS OF Genoa
and OF Lyons, through the straits of
Messina. for which Stromboli acts as
a 'leading" light To such an extent
is this the case that, although the other
principal islands of the Lipari archi,
pelago are marked by lighthouses,
nothing Of the kind is placed upon
Stromboli.

'r!s truth is old as the Soal .. thugs
Whatever ye SOW We reai:
IT'S the coslnie law that. forever springs
From the uaiinsgired deep.
IT'S shown in the manifold Borrowings
OF the race, in remorse with ito secret stings
Tha. he who grief to his brother brings
In his turn some day shall weep.
To the man who hears his victims cries
And hardens his heart at the sound,
At last a Nemesis dread shall rise
From out. of the void profound.
Who sows In selnshness, greed and hate
Shall gain his deserts in the years that watt
For the slow and remorseess wheel OF fate
Forever turns round and round.
II We give out mercy and love and light,
Tie same shall return 10 you,
For the standards OF right are infinite
And the scales Of the gods are true.
BY its good or evil each life is weighed;
In motives and deeds is its record made;
In the coin We pay ye shall be repaid
When your wages at last fall due.
Against each life an account is set
In details, exact and just;
Ye cannot evade the uttermost debt,
For ye face the decree, 'Thou must!"
Yc are scourged by the scorpions OF regret;
Through cons to come yc cannot forget,
For the dead are not dead, but are living yet
Though their bodies have long been dust.
Ye are masters Of your own destiny;
in the realm Of soul ye are kings,
For God in his wisdom has made you free
That we reach unto nobler things.
This priceless jewel of liberty,
Oh, cherish and use it worthily
And rise through the days that are to be,
As the gray earth onward swings
