The Day Beyond.

!
When youth is with us, all things seem
: But lightly to be wished and won;
We snare tomorrow in a dream
And take our toll for work undone;
For life is long, and time a stream
That sleeps and sparkles in the sun
What need of any haste?" we say;
To-morrow.s longer than to-day"
And when tomorrow shall destroy
The heaven of our dreams. in vain
Our hurrying manhood we employ
To build the vanished bliss again;
We have no leisure to enjoy,
So few the years that yet remain; -
So much to do, and, ah! we say
''To-mOrrow's shorter than to-day!
But when our hands are worn and weak.
And still our labors seem -unblest.
And time goes past us like bleak
Last twilight waning in the West,
1T is not here-the bliss we seek;
Too brief is life for happy rest.
And yet what need of grief" we say;
'"To-morrow's longer than to-day.

1Of the officers Of the little ironclad
Monitor, which went into commission
January 80, 1862, and before the 10th
Of March had achieved her momen-
tous victory over the Merrirn.c, only
one remains. His name is Captain
Louis N. Stodder, and is at present
supervisor of anchorages at the port
of New York and a veteran of the
United States revenue service, says
the Brooklyn Standard Union. Cap
tain Stodder was born in Boston In
1888 and entered the navy from the
merchant marine at an early age. and
was in the gunnery school then estab-
1ished in Brooklyn, when in January,
1852, q call was made for volunteers
to work the guns of the "cheesebox
on a raft" then in an unfinished state
at Greenpoint. John Ericsson's new
tangled concern" as some then styled
1t, was the laughing stock of all the
naval wits who had seen or heard Of
1t, and the prospective guuners were
warned that they were taking their
lives in their hands when they volun-
teered. But men were found and the
vessel was constructed at a rate of
progress probably unprecedented.
Within 100 days from the laying Of
her keel the Monitor was launched
with machinery complete, and within
$50 days she had won the victory over
the Merrimac, which revolutionized
naval architecture.
The Monitor was commenced in
October, 1861, and was launched jan
uary 80, 1862. Mr.. Stodder was pres
ent on both occasions, and as he re-
mained with his vessel until she
foundered off Cape Hatteras the last
day of December, 1852, it will be seen
that he stood by her during her entire
existence

A near relation of the octopus is the
sepia or cuttlefish, which has arms
much shorter than those of the octo-

the same way. The chief characteris-

hide itself and to change it's color at
will, and in the transparent water of
the bay of Naples the wonderful play
of tints in the living animal is very
much admired. This change in color

A GRANTS PASS TOAD.

Grants Pass can put its toads up
with any in the world. A Courier
man can vouch for this, for he holds
the proof. A few days ago he saw a
big Grants Pass toad attempt to catch
a bird; and he (the Courier man, not
the toad wasn't drunk either, at the
time.
The circumstance happened down
on the banks of Rogue river. A little
Chickadee, or some such similar bird
was hopping about on the ground aud
found himself suddenly conronted by n
large toad of the horns-Jumpus
species. The big toad looked birdie
square in the eye and birdie was hyp-
Noticed and under the big toad's in
fluence ere he was aware, Then the
toad began to creep upon his prey, bat
never for an instant releasing his gaze
on birdie. Like cat, the toad crept
nearer and then gathering all his
strength for the final spring, " as the
story books say about tho tigers, the
toad leaped into the air and came
down pounce on BRIDES back. But
the toad lacked the claws and other
necessary implements for holding ON.
The sudden jar brought birdie to
his senses and with few wild
shrieks, spasmodic hutter or two
and flew away into the sky, leaving
the Courier man with cold perspira-
tion wetting his brow.
