At the end of every road there stand* a
wall
Not built by hand*—impenetrable-
bare;
Behind it lies an unknown land, and all
The path* men plod tend to it, and rial
there.
Bach man, according to Ms humor, paint*
On that bare wail strange landscape*
dark or bright,
People with Anns of fiend*, or forma of
saints;
Hells of darkies*, or Edens of delight.
Then to his fellow*, “Tremble!” or "Re
joice!”
The limner cries, for “lo the land be
yond!"
And ever acquiescent to his voice
Faint echoes from that painted wall re
spond.
But now and then,- with sarriligeou*
hand,
Borne ooe wipe* off these painted land
scapes all,
■ottering “O fools and slow to under
stand.
Behold your bourne—the impenetrable
wall!”
Whereat an eager angered crowd ex
claims,
"Better than your dead wall, though
pale and faint
Our faded Kden! better dend* and flames
By fancy iwinted In lier coarsest paint
On the blind, bald unquestionable face
Of that obstruction, than its cold, un
clad
And callout emptiness, without a trace
Of any prospect, either good or bad.
And straightway the old work begins
•gain *
Off picture painting. And men shout
and call
For response to their pleasure or their
pain;—
Getting back echoes from the painted
Wail.
A French Story.
There is a story told of a lady and a
gentleman traveling together on an Eng
lish railroad. They were strangers to
each other. Suddenly the gentleman
aakl:
“Madam, I will trouble you to look out
of the window for a few minutes; lam
going to make some changes in my wear-
Certainly, sir,” she replied, with great
politeness. Rising and turning he said:
“Mow, madam, my change is complet
ed, and you may resume your seat.”
When the lady tainted she beheld her
companion transformed into a dashing
lady with a vail over her face
“Mow, sir, or madam, whichever you
are,” said the lady, “I must trouble you
to look out the window, for 1 have some
changes also to make in my apparel.”
“Certainly, madam,” and the gentle
man in ladies’ attire immediately com
plied. “Mow, air, you may resume your
' seat.” To his great surprise, on resum
ing his seat, the gentleman in female at
tire found his lady companion transform
ed into a man. He laughed and said:
If appears that we are both anxious to
escape recognition. I have robbed
bank, what hare you done?”
“And I,” said the whilom lady, as lie
dexterously fettered his companion’s
wrists with a pair of handcuffs: “I am
detective J , of Scotland yard, and in
female apparel have shadowed you for
two days—now,” drawing a revolver—
“keep still.”
Got into the Wrong Room.
Shortly after IS o’clock a few i
ago a Philadelphia guest at one ofthe
large Atlantic City hotels was awakened
by a nudge from the sharpest of his wife’s
sharp knuckles. Ashe opened his eyes
be saw by means of an extremely faint
light that penetrated from the hall into
the room the figure of a man, who stood
silently by the bureau, arm who, salt
appeared, was fumbling for whatever
valuables might tall into his clutch. The
wife clung to her husband’s arm and
trembled so violently that the latter fear
ed lest the burglar should bear and escape.
Releasing his arm the guest slipped noise
lessly from the bed and, holding the pil
low as a shield, be reached the burglar at
• bound. In the midst of crushed chair
and broken bric-a-brac the robber went
down with his assailant on top. The
conqnerer’s wife struck a light as quick
ly as possible, and rang sharply for an
attendant. When the night clerk reach
ed the room he saw a trhilling tableau, the
chief figure off which was a powerful
Othello strangling a male Desdemona in
the middle of the floor. But the scene
was set in comedy after all, for when the
pillow was removed the thief’s face show
ed him to be the highly- respectable occu
pant of the adjoining room, a dear friend
of his assailant and altogether above re
proach. He simply had mistaken the
wrong room for the right one, and when
knocked down he was fumbling about for
Leadville is a tolerably healthy place to
live in now. With two lock-ups and

shot at—that is, if be runs like a race
