Tne DRUNKARD's WIFE.

by PHELPS.
Whv do you cit with wonder.eyes beholding,
while his swollen face give fond carsssf
Though changed the form, my arms are now infoldng
Deem not my love for him has vsned to loss;
But oh love him ip his distress.
love him still though oil 90 changed and broken
only sss tho brave. true one that wood
Nv eirlish heart and gave the wedding token;
His later shame that love has but renewed
A. Jesus wspt 70 his scattered brood
+ love him still, though from bis glance departed
The blaze Of intsllect has died and gone;
Though worn with conflict am broken hearted
His own was crushed with mine, they are one;
And shall bs till the weary race is done
love him still, though long bis steps have faltsrsd
From tho exalted manhood At my side,
Though his fine features have long been altered,
He wss % grand when | became bis bride;
nestled on his strong 6rm breast with PRIDE
l love him still, though my days are bishted;
And though his shadow slauts along my liie
love him, though for him have been slighted
With the foul taunt, "Behod dEunkaFd Wite'
Alb me! This il Of all the keenest knife.
I love him. though for this my own have left me,
And PRAYED that should leave him to his cup.
Still With him have more than they bereit me;
He s my husband, can give him up,
Though should bleed my life blood drop BY drop'
I love him STILL though bare my humble dwelling,
And my sweet children often cry for bread;
Fresh in my womsn's heart this hour is swelling
The same pure love first upon him she'd
In the glad, golden past when we were we'd
love him still through weary nights OF waiting,
The sad Winds vail around me until be comes;
love him though dishooor il beaiing;
vet remain the cord that draws him home;
Have warmed him when my own worn hands were
numb.
love him, though he leaves me when awak'ns
And comes not when the evening shadows iail
love him, though my tortured heart is breaking
And nv full prayers reach oil stopped and dull
Ali yes l love him firm and fond through ALL
Then marvel not at me for simple loving,
But God Of Nations marvel at the sight
OF moral hosts by this sin reproving,
But making sure by ACTION such blight;
So shall nations 60 down in night
Go ssek the lionsss that shields her young,
And draw The glitter from her flashing eyes,
Go bring tho hates Of hollis al poisoned tongue,
And braid them with the tightening OF the skies,
With the eternal wrath that never dies.
Thus do hate, and moro, the LICENSED bowl
That took my husband iom me- and has made
His peerless worth . chaos, and bis soul
Has fitted for the gloom Of endless shade
For this how little the saloon has paid

ARABIAN pELIcAcIEs.

In a recent Egyptian review may be
found some curious extracts from Al
Diahez. a celebrated scientist of the
tenth century.
Speaking Of the favorite dishes OF
the Arabians OF that epoch, he says
that they considered the flesh OF
young dogs a great delicacy and also
ate grasshoppers and scorpions with
much relish. Moreover, they es-
teemed the flesh OF black cats highly
since they maintained that any one
who ate &c could not be injured, either
by sOrcery or by the evil one.
Al Djahez also says that he was dis
appointed when he found that the
Arabian tribes of Bassorah did not eat
grasshoDpers. but, on the other hand,
was highly delighted TO find his friend,
the famous poet ROobah, feasting
royalty on roast rats and lizards. The
Arabians. he says, in conclusion, also
the serpeuts and horses, but took the
utmost care only TO serve at table
horses which had been harnessed, as
they did not consider it right TO eat
those which had been ridden.

A WITTY ARCHBISHOP.
Some Anecdotes That Are Told of
Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia.


Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia.
Many of the stories told of Arch
bishop Ryan concern his apt replies.
On one occasion, when George B.
Roberts was president of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad and Wayne MacVeagh
was the special counsel, a reception
was given by Mr.. Roberts in honor of
Archbishop Ryan. In the course of
conversation, Mr.. MacVeagh hap
pened to say that ''Mr. Roberts never
went anywhere without his counsel"
and a moment later he said to Arch
bishop Ryan:
"Your grace, Mr. Roberts can give
you passes on all the railroads in the
United States; now cannot you be
equally generous and give him a pass
10 Paradise?"
Eyes" replied the Archbishop, 81
coulu; but, then, | would dislike to
separate him from his counsel"
At a time when there was a sup
posed difference of opinion be-
tween Archbishop Corrigan and
Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop Ryan
was asked where he stood. With dip
lomatic good humor, he laughed, and
replied:
"As Archbishop of Philadelphia,
naturally stand between New York
and Baltimore"
A few months ago he was called to
one of the Italian churches in the
lower part of Philadelphia TO admin
lister the sacrament of confirmation to
a large class. The children had been
poorly trained. and the teachers had
much trouble in arranging them in a
satisfactory way at the altar rail.
After many trials the ceremony fin
ally came TO an end after noon. One
Of the visiting clergymen remarked to
the Archbishop:
ct was such a provoking lot, |
should think you would have been
tempted to swear"
To which the Archbishop replied:
81 cannot illustrate my feelings bet
ter than by telling the story of the
TTishman who was noted for profan-
ity.
cone day Re bad 10 haul 2 cart load
Of potatoes - very rough hill. It
was quite on effort for his poor old
horse. and IS the cart went jolting up
the hin tho n0tatCes went bounding
out and rolled % the bottom. Before
arriving ~ fhe top the tailboard of
the cart fell out, and thus the entire
load was lost.
"Tha unfortunate ~~"trlan stood
still in amaZement, never uttering a
word. A passerby who knew him and
his wonderful capacity for profanity
remarked:
"'Why. Larry. what's the matter
wi you? Why don't you swear?'
Larry replied: 'Ah, begorra. I am
afraid can't gather enough of meself
together to be equal to this OCCASION
"And." said the Archbishop, that
is about my case."-Chicago Inter
Ocean.

Has He Found IL?

Polk. Ark. Nov. "a remedy that
will absolutely cure rheumatism has
been discovered by Mr. George Hiland
OF this place. Mr.. Hiland is satisfied
that the remedy he has used is a sure
cure. for IL cured him OF a very serious
case OF Acute rheumatism when he
was so bad that be could not move.
This Is what he says:

clan. who helped me some. but | was

now I am well and able TO work all

Pills TO be just what they are claimed
TO be. n perfect cure for Rheumatism"
Mr.. Hiland's very positive statement
seems 10 settle MI doubt rs 10 wheth-
er or not Rheumatism can be- cured.

the Reach Of ExtraditioE.
There are scores of little nations
with which the United States has no
treaties at ALL Abyssinia is one, and
were an American fugitive to reach
| Adds Ababa he might remain there
the rest OF his life without fear of
molestation. In the West Indies are
| two republics in which the American
evil-doer is almost as securely sale.
One is Hayti and the other is Santo
Domingo. Both are usually so torn by
revolutions that the existing govern
ment is almost unacceptable. In
| consequence. both are favorite resorts
for American adventures and fugi-
tives of the more enterprising sort.
| One American, who lett New Orleans
inconspicuously because of a little
difference with the law, rose to high
rank in the Haytian army and was
eventually killed in fight with Revolu-
/ tionists on the Dominican border.
The little republic of San Marine.
in the south of Europe, is another
secure stronghold for American fugi-
tives. But it is so small that the aver
age evil-doer does not seek il out for
fear that he may toss in his sleep and
roll over its frontier into Spain. And
far to the eastward there is Sarawak,
in the East Indies. where an English
man holds forth as absolute monarch,
and every stray soldier of fortune is
welcome.
Were he to be a daring knave, an
American fugitive might find safety,
at least from American justice, in a
dozen or more of the queer nations OF
central Asia-though it is more than
likely that the natives would soon
finish him. In Afghanistan the Ameer
would be glad to see him, and in
Beloochistan the rulers of the state
would treat him as a distinguished
visitor. In Thibet proper ne would be
under the eye of the Chinese author
tiles, but cutwardly Thibet is not
Chinese territory, and the treaties
with China do not affect it.
High up on the central Asian table
land are perched Kafristan and Turke-,
stan, neither of which recognizes even
the eXistance of the United States.
Southeast OF Arabia is the independent
kingdom of Oman, and toward the
north are Bokhara and Khiva, vassalsI
OF Russia, but still not affected by
Russian treaties. And in Africa there,
is the vast expanse of the Congo Free
State-unhealthy, maybe, but still safe.
In the west are BOrum and Waday,
independent kingdoms, and KanemI
and Bogirmi, no mans lands.-Detroitl

THE VOICE FROM THE GALLERY

Some years ago, when the Carl
Rosa Opera company was playing
Faust" at the Theater Royal in Dub
lin. a voice from the gallery dis
turbed the harmony of the concluding
scene, and led TO a speedier fall of
the curtain than had been anticipated.
II happened that the representative Of
Faust was as corpulent of person as
ne was sympathetic of voice, and the
former characteristic led to the con-
retemps OF his sticking fast in the
trap door. being therefore unable 10
comply with Mephistopheles final
Injunction to descend TO the fiery reg
ion. Mephistopheles warbled forth
his injunction more than once, but
still Faust stuck where he was. A
dead pause followed, broken by the
kindly encouragement of one gallery
boy to a friend among the gods"
