BIOLOGY.

The wise biologist talked
OF tissue and cell and bone;
And the mystery went from your life,
Dear.
And the strangeness from my ewn
But home with the stars We walked, -
And saw your bosom swell,
And about you there in the moonlight
Some old enchantment fell
Yes, homeward under the stars,
Where the moonlight spread its gold
I touched your hand and yeu turned,
Dear,
The mystic Being Of old!

Horse Falls In Cistern.

One of VIM. NJ. Pogue's horses
got loose in the stable Thursday
night of last week, and wandering
into the entry broke through the
curbing of a cistern, and fell into
the water below. The cistern is a
large affair and contained about ten
feet of water. Harry Woodrow re.
turning from party late that night
discovered the animals plight when
he entered the stable to put his
horse away. He hastily secured
help and with the assistance OF
block aud tackle half dozen men
succeeded in dragging the animal
from the cistern 1t is not known
how long the horse had been in the
water, but when rescued 1t was
nearly exhausted from its efforts to
keep afloat. its forelegs being lacer.
ated to such an extent by contact
with the cistern walls in its strug.
giles as to he laid bare from pastern
to knee. The animal is progressing
under care of a veterinary hut it is
feared it's injuries will impair its
usefulness.
