THE DREAMER.

He builds as he can, as he will,
In weakness or strength as 1t seems I;
And it is what 1t is; for his skill
Is only the truth of his dreams.
And his dreams are as strong as his faith,
Or as weak as the fears that they own /;
And what to his soul either sayeth,
That Is, and that guides him alone.
So some ships that are stately and fair
Gso down for morsel Of faith;
While some thistle-down barks, light as
air,
No storm can move out of their path.

Who Fra Diavolo Was.

Fra Dayolo was the nickname given
Michele Pezza, a celebrated renegade
monk and italian brigand, who was
born in 1850. 1t should be noted that
the opera Of Auber has nothing in COM
mon with Fra Diavolo but the name.
Pezza was first a stocking weaver,
then soldier in the Neapolitan army,
then soldier in the pope's service, and
finally he became monk, but was ex-
PEELED. In the mountains of Calabria
Pezza took to brigandage, and such
was his notoriety and so great were his
cruelties that the people nicknamed
him Fra Diavolo. 1t is consoling to
know that he was eventually executed
in 1S06.-New York American.

Definition of a Box Car,

Not all the instruction given to young

longs to the fowl family. During the
spring and summer months it can be
found in nearly every part Of the coun-
try it's favOrite haunts being railway
tracks, and it is easy to capture. In
the autumn, however, like certain 9TH
er fowls, it goes into Information or
flies to other chimes. Scattered in
stances are known where specimens
are captured during the autumn
months. A lasso or we'll creased
switch crew is sometimes used in snar-
ing the box car, but main strength is
the best weapon. In any case the
hunter must be very wary, as any
noise like the futtering Of a waybill
will make the quarry disappear Some
