Not Dead but Very Drunk.

From Russia come the details of one
of the Queerest cases of mistaking life
for death. Serious as the consequences
Of the error promised to be the story
is not without its humorous side. An
elderly Jew of drunken habits, living
in Taganrog, fell i'll and to all appear
ances died. After he had been placed
on specially prepared boards to be
washed in accordance with the Gus
toms Of the Jewish religion he sud
denly moved and sat up. Consterna-
ton seized the watchers and the old
man himself nearly died with fright at
finding himself stripped of his cloth
Ing and surrounded by lighted candles.
But he soon gathered his scattered wits
and began to shrek at the persons
who were making preparations for his
finish. "Cou.un't you see that l was
drunk." he shouted. "If you are going
to bury all the drunkards there will
be few people left on the face OF the
earth" And having thus relieved his
feelings he got up and began to dress

Cheap Home, for Poor People.

she had vivid dream one night, in
which she saw in the old plantation
with certain landmarks the spot where,
as her dream indicated, the money WAS
buried. In few nights the dream
was repeated, and thereafter at inter-
walls for more than dozen times,
each dream being an identical repe-
tition of the first Mrs. Moores is not
at all superstitious, yet this oft-re-

investigation recently. when, strange
as it may seem, the iong-lost treasure
was found, and that, too at place In
the woods marked exactly as that so
often in her dream. The money was
all in $40 gold pieces. and the total
amount $4,000.

The voice of the Sen.


Thus spake to Man the thousand d-throated Sea;
Words which the stealing winds caught from its
lips:
Thou thinkest thee and thine Gods topmOst
But hearken unto me and hmnbly learn
How infinite thine insignifcance- . . .
Thou burrow'st through mountain, here and
there,
Work st all thine engines, cutting off a speck ;
wash their rock-ioundations under; tear
Turret from turet, toppling laundering down,
And crush their mightiest fragments into sand:
Thou gravest with thy records slab and spar,
And callest them memorials of thy Might
Lo not a stone exists, from that black cliff
To that small pebble at thy foot but bears
My signature graved there when Earth young,
To teach the mighty wonders of the Deep.
Thy deeds-thyself-are what2 morning misti
But Il face the ages. Dost not know
That as | gave the Earth to spread her fair
And dev.-washed body in the morning light
90, still. It's | that keep her fair and fresh?-
That weave her robes and nightly diamond them?
fill her odorOus bowers with perfumes rare;
Strew field and forest with bee-haunted stars;
| give the Morn pearl for her radiant roof,
And Eve lend glory for her rosy dome;
build the purple towers that hold the West
And guard the passage Of Retiring Day.
Yon heecy continents Of floating snow,
That dwarf the mountains over which they sail,
Are hut my bales borne by my messengers,
To cheer and gladden. every thirsty land.
The Arab BY his palm-girt desert pool,
The LaplandeT above ms frozen I'LL,
The Woodsnan couched beside his forest brook,

Drink of my cup in one great brotherhood.
'Tis nav, not man alone-thou art but one
OF all the myriads of life-holding thing
Brute. beast, bird, reptile, insect, thing uH-

Whose souls find recreation in my BREATH
Nay, not tree, flower sprig OF grass or weed
But lives through and hymns my praise to

Her drowsy babe to sleep upon her breast.

If one may judge from this biography,
the best thing that could happen TO Tur-
key would be the death of its present
ruler. That he is not a typical Turk the
biographer would probably be among the
first to admit Those who have Travelled
in Turkey give testimony that the Turk
ish character is by TO means essentially
depraved, but the specimen of it now oc-
cupying the throne Of the Ottoman EN-
pire seems to come as near being an ex-
ample of total depravity and degeneracy
as human being can. In short, he is
an examI le of the result Of the conscious
ness of power and Importance, working
upon nature essentially cOwardly and
cruel. 1t was, perhaps, the most natural
thing in the world that a selfish and tim
orous man with no conscientious scruples
should, on being placed in such a position,
develop a mania for killing everyone
who might possibly intend to endanger
his own safety. A strong ruler recognizes
strength and respects il in others; the
weak tyrdnt trusts nobody. understands
nobody. and oppresses wherever he dares.

The days are gone that were so bitter sweet,
Venetian days that few winged feet,
Borne now by painting steam,
The flying hours
Like some pain-pi,-- dream
And all my pulses are in fever heat
Wherever fall my hot and heavy eyes
Natures sweet smile my misery defes
Dark strips of purple ground
With grass-lands girt around
Marsh rushes, bistre-browned,
Are speeding by, swift the eagle flies
Long cloudy lines Of willows, silver gray,
Flat fields, pale yellow with the sun-dyed hay;
Tree-shadows fade and die
In waters clear where lie
Bits of the azure sky.
The vintagers are merry with their wains
With dark grapes filed and bright with crimson
stains.
Rocked by the trembling breeze
'Twixt forked and knotted trees
Hang vines red canopies,
And Oer the earth a sense of beauty reigns
Ny spirit fails that loveliness to find.
My souls eyes turn 10 what Is left behind;
/ am but here in part,
For l and my poor heart
Must henceforth live apart.
Help me, o Autumn sun! Soothe me, o Autumn

Who heeds not while they weep.

And send'st me but the dead.
