The Telegraph Clerk.

Sitting here by my desk all day,
Hearing the constant click
Az the messages speed on their way
And the call comes sharp and quick
Oh what a varied tale they tell
OF joy and hope and fear!
The funeral knell, and the marriage bell
In their steady tick | hear.
Mother is dying; come at once.'
And the fears will almost start
For tender daughters and loving sons
God pity each aching hearti
All! how the haunting memories press
Back to tho mind once more,
OF the mothers unfailing tenderness,
That Is now forever DER.
IT am we'll; will come tonight"
How bright some eyes viii glow
All day long with happy light
Az they watch the moments 60
sEaye had no letters: Is something wrong?
Some heart IS sad today,
Counting the hours that seem SO long
For tie sake Of one away.
arthur Ress by accident killed;
Tell his mother, an coming home
Alas for the home with such sorrow filed
When the bitter tidings come!
alice IL better; gaining fast
And hearts that have been bowed
Under their weight Of fear at last
Shall lose their weary Load
So over the wires the tidiugs speed,
Bitter and grave and gay;
Same hearts shall beat, and some shall bleed
For the tale they have to say.
AS sit all day by my desk alone.
hear the stream go By.
And catch the wires changeful tone,
With q smile and then sigh.

AN ANCIENT CITY.
Seoul, Walled Fortress, Where Japan
and Russia Seek Supremacy.

ana Russia seek supremacy.
From Outing.
Seoul. the capital of Chosen, is built amid
a network of hills, eighteen miles from the
sea. 1t is an ancient walled city, fortified
in the strongest way by smells that would
drive any but an Asiatic army forthwith
into the ocean. 1t Is poor in appearance,
but rich in flsas. On autumn nights tigers
frequently contest the right of way with
belated pedestrians, and this is the chief
reason why one has the entire street to
oneself in moonlight stroll after 8
o'clock. Metaphorically. one can scarcely
see the town for the bald, Dubious and bull
let-headed Buddhist priests who fatten on
the superstition of the populace and lead
Hcentious lives in the adjacent monasteries
Barring an occasional court function
marked by street professions, Seoul is tri-
umphantly devoid of sights interesting to q
traveller. The streets lack entirely those
picturesque characteristics of a Chinese or
japanese thoroughfare, and vista across
the Korean house tops is one of appall-
ing monotony. One seeks in vain fcr at
tractive souvenirs. In the small shops of
Seoul Japanese beer, matches, cigarettes
and cheap crockery form the chief stock in
trade while lOng-stemmed Korean pipes
and metal-banded Korean knives are Of
fered in the most pretentious shops. Here
likewise, can be had the really UNIQUE Ko-
rean fans, made of silk or paper, finished in
oil and covered with curious native designs
These fans are dipped in water before they
are used and the little breeze produced by
them is astonishingly cool.
Tie wall surrounding Seoul from which
kites are ever flying, is but a pocket edi-
ton Of the great Chinese wall that leads
down to the sea at Shanhaikwan Piercing
this Korean copy are the city gates-pic-
turesQue passageways-which are promp tly
and irrevocably closed with the setting of
the sun. The west gate WITH be entered by
the tourist on reaching the capital from
Chemulpo. and should be come to the out
side of this but a minute after the sun has
disappeared behind the horizon. and the
big bell has doomed it's mournful warning
note. he is elected to camp in the open until
Phoebus has cycled round the world on the
equatorial path. If he reaches the gate
five minutes before 1t closes on its sroanina
hinges he will witness sight that will
almost repay him for the toilsome trip up
from the coast. 49,
