The rroubIes Of Humanity.

There are troubles of the rich
Fresh for the gossips day by day:
There are the waiting armies which
Are taught to hate and schooled to slay
There are the rogues in office who
Still shame us by their sinful greed
But still the sky is often blue
And good men still come forth to lead
The warning and the sin and woe
We make our daily themes, but still
At sunrise we may see the glow
or promise on the eastern him
The strife and wrongs we emphasize,
And often foolishly forget
That Virtues broad, white banner flies
High over all the others yet.

silly Ideas About NAPOLEON.

Thackeray once saw Napoleon on
the island of st. Helena. The novelist
he was born in Calcutta, in 1871
was on his way to England as a Child.
Cur ship touched at an island where
ny black servant took me long walk
over rocks and hills until we san a
man walking in garden. 'Tha" is
he, said the black man; that is f;on-
aparte. He eats three sheep every
day, and all the little children he can
lay hands on" That black sery,ne
man was not the only person of the
time to believe the story which ne
told.

The contented Man.

Contented? What makes him content.
The comforts, the struggles hay
gained.
Which men dlscontented invented.
The safety that fighters obtained.
With troglodytes huddled in caves,
Or find in trees ready hollow
The shelter an animal Graves
Content binders progress and action
And cultivates ignorant sloth,
Counts study sort of distraction,
And pities the follies of both.
Cortent maketh freemen dependent
And fastens the shackles on slaves
Its motion is ever descendent.
To bitches and paupers' sad graveA.
But the reyerent. hearty submission
TO Deity's footstool men bring,
After toillng with little fruition,
is different. manlier thing.

no longer to be obtained. The most
expensive panama l have sold in
years was bought by banker Of this
city last week for 800. 1t was the
last fine panama hat in stock. Such
hats are still worn by the hidalgos in
South America. They are not made
in Panama, but got the name because
that city was formerly the greatest
market for them. The finest hats
come from Peru. They are made OF
the fiber of the pita or pineapple plant,
which is as soft and pliable as silk.

The Luster of opaIs.

Many gems. often without any ap-
parent cause. suddenly become crack
ed or scanned. the damage being be-
yond repair. Opals, known as the un-
lrckiest stones, are SO sensitive that
their beauty is frequently destroyed
by their wearer's proximity to an open
fire. The luster of this stone is caus-
ed by the presence of myriads of little
assures which defect the light into
the characteristic prismatic color of
the gem. The tiniest of these fissures
is likely at any moment tn destroy the
stone.
