    POETIC A 1,.
M MENTS.
I lie in a heavy trance,
With a world of dreams without m
Shapes of shadow dance,
In wavering bands about me;
But., at times, some imstic tilings
Appear in this phantom lair,
That almost appear to me visitings
Of Truth known elsewhere:
The world is wide—these things are small,
They truly be nothing, but they are All.
A prayer in an hour ot pain,
Begun in an undertone,
Then lowered, as it would fain
Be heard by the heart alone ;
x. throb when the sonl is enteied
By a light that is lit above,
Where the God of Nature has centred
The Beauty of Love.
The world is wide—-these things are small,
They may be nothing, hut they are All.
A look that is telling a tale
Which looks alone dare tell—
Wh en a cheek is no longer pale,
That has caught the glance as it fell;
A touch, which seems to unlock
Treasures unknown as yet,
And the bitter-sweet first shock,
One can never ferget:
The world is wide—these things are small,
They may be nothing, bat they are All.
A sense of an earnest will
To help the lowly living
And a terrible heart thrill,
If you ha', e no power of giving
An arm of aid to the weak,
A friendly hand to the friendless,
Kind words, so short to speak,
But w hose echo is endless :
The world is wide—these things are small,
They may be nothing, hut they are All.
The moment we think we have learnt
The love of the Allwise One,
By which we could stand unburnt
On the rulge of the seething sun;
The moment we grasp at the clue,
Long lost and strangely riven,
Which guides our soul to the True,
And the Poet to Heaven.
The world is wide—these things are small,
If they are nothing, what is there at all.
LAUGHOGRA MS.
New Bedford is said to have but one whaler
left—a schoolmuster.
“You’il build the fires or I’ll be a widow,” is
the way the Fat Contributor’s wife talks.
The only thing children can’t see partiality
in is who gets the biggest end of the bootjack
when the old lady gets mad.
An Indiana man picked up a wild cat in his
bum in place of an afghan. He detected the
difference in the millionth part of a second.
An old lady in Detroit, hearing that American
Girl was dead,‘remarked: “I alius saidthatthis
tight lacing would lay ’em out some day.”
Some papers are always talking of their in
dependence and sneering at “organs.” Isn’t it
better to be an organ titan a lyre ?
“Patrick,” said an old gentleman to his ser
vant, “we are all creatures of fate.” “Well, if
it wasn’t for fate, how the divil could we walk,
sure?”
A Detroit woman who was turned out of her
house for non-payment of rent, went out in good
style, putting on silks and jewelry, and having
her hair frizzed in extra style for the occasion.
Why was the cleansing of the Augean stables
like a piece of ancient Mexican pottery ware ?
Because it was an Aztec kind of a job. (Voice
ot the speaker choked with emotion. 1
TlmMs the way the newspapers talk in Lou
isiana : “If that convicted thief and robber
Jim Walker, wants any fuss with us he cau have
steel or buckshot in unlimited quantities by
poking his nose around our corner.
A lady put her watch under her pillow the
other night, but couldn’t keep it there because
it disturbed her sleep. And there, all the time
was her bed-ticking right underneath Iter, and
she never thought of that at all.
If there is anything that will bring tears to
the eyes ol an Indian tobacco sign it is to wit
ness a young lady undergoing the trying ordeal
of endeavoring to bring a fallen clothes line
fu.l of clothes, to a sense of its solemn duty.
Reporters should always be even tempered
men, but when one rushes wildly ten squares to
get a vivid account of a man breaking his leg
he may be excused if he cannot find any words
in the dictionary to situ the occasion when ht
discovers it is a wooden leg.
The Shelbyville, Ky., Republican says that
the worst case of selfishness that it has been
permitted to present tj the public, 'emanated
irom a youth who complained because his mo
ther put a bigger mustard plaster on liis young
er brother than she did on him, after they had
been eating melons and hard apples.
“Is this the doctor’s office?” inquired a man
who popped his head inside the sanctum door
“No, sir, the next flight of stairs.” “Well I’m
too tired to go any further,” said he sadly ; “but
if you see the doctor any time this morning, I
wish you would tell him that my stepmother is
dying, and we’d like to have him call in if lie
gets time.”
A promising young shaver of five or six years
was reading his lesson at school one day in that
deliberate manner for which urchins of that age
are somewhat remarkable. As he proceeded
with the task he came upon the passage, “Keep
tliy tongue from evil and thy lips from guile.”
Master Hopeful diawled out,“Keep— thy—tongue
from—evil—and—thy—lips—from—girls.”
He didn’t look like a beggar, but he had his
plans all laid before he struck Vicksburg, and
he cleared a hundred dollars there in two days.
He did not go around whining, “Please, sir, for
the love of God,” as most of' them do, but he
walked up to a man, called him “General,” to
start off with, and the shinplaster's came in
faster than he could take them. The only
five men in town who didn’t contribute were
men whom lie inndve ‘tenlly addressed as •Cap
tain.”
