The City of the Living.
' In a long-vanished age, whose varied story
No record has to-day,
| So long ago expired its grief and glory,
There flourished, far away,
• In a broad realm, whose beauty passed all
measure,
A city fair and wide,
j Wherein the dwellers lived in peace and
pleasure,
And never any died.
> Disease and pain and death, those stern ma
rauders,
Which mar our world’s fair face,
! Never encroached upon the pleasant borders
Os that bright dwelling-place.
I No fear of parting and no dread of dying
Could ever enter there;
No mourning for the lost, no anguished cry
ing
Made any face less fair.
■ Without the city wall, death reigned as ever,
And graves rose side by side;
I Within, the dwellers laughed at hisendbavor,
And never any died.
I O, happiest of all earth’s favored placet
O, Bliss to dwell therein!
i To live in the sweet light of loving faces,
And fear no grave between.
■ To feel no death-damp growing cold and
colder,
Disputing life’s warm truth;
I To live on, never lonelier nor older—
Radiant in deathless youth!
And hurrying from the world’s remotest
quarters,
A tide of pilgrims flowed
Across broad plains and over mighty waters,
To find that blest abode.
Where never death should come between and
sever
Them from their loved apart,
W here they might work, and will, and live
forever,
Still holding heart to heart.
; And so they lived, in happiness and pleasure
And grew in power and pride,
! And did great deeds, and laid up store of
treasure,
And never any died!
•And many years rolled on and saw them
striving
With unabated breath;
And other yeai s still found and left them
living,
Aud gave them hope of death.
! Yet listen, hapless soul, whom angels pity,
Craving a boon like this —
Mark how the dwellers in the wondrous city
Grew weary of their bliss.
j One and another who had been concealing
The pain of life’s long thrall,
Forsook their pleasant places and came steal
ing
i Outside the city wall.
Craving with wish that brooked no more de
nying—
So long it had been crossed-.
The blessed possibility of dying,
The treasui e they had lost!
Daily the current of rest-seeking mortats
Swelled to a broader tide,
Till none were left within the city’s portals,
And graves grew green outside.
Would it be worth the having, or the giving,
The boon of endless breath?
: Ah, for the weariness that comes of living,
There is no cure but death.
: Ours were indeed a fate deserving pity
Were that sweet rest denied,
• And few, methinks would care to find the
j city
Where never any died.
Mrs. Elliort’s Burglar.
BY MRS. M. L. RAYNE.
Mr, Elliort had eaten his supper, and
as it was yet early in the evening, he
thought he would go out and get a
cigar.
“I won’t be away no more than an
hour,’ he said to his wife. “I’ll run
i in to the barber’s and have my hair cut
i a trifle, and be back before you can say
Jack Robinson.”
Mrs. Elliort did not want to say Jack
Robinson; she preferred Jack Elliort.
“Don’t go off somewhere with those
horrid boys,” she said with a pout. “I
' shall expect you home at 8 precisely; no
respectable and well-behaved married
| man—■”
But Mr. Elliort had snatched a kiss
I and the sentence was never finished.
| The hour soon passed.
The girl had finished her work and
gone out. Mrs. Elliort was alone, but
i she did not mind it, as she now expect
-1 ed her husband every moment.
The clock struck eight.
Mrs. Elliort was startled by a ring at
the front door.
SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY, JULY 30,1887.
Then she remembered that Mr. Elliort
had said he would ring as his latch key
was in his other coat.
So she hurried to the door expecting
to see her handsome husband Mr.
Elliort was a sort of Adonis with brown
curling hair, hazel eyes, white teeth
and a 1-o-v-e-l-y mustache, parted in the
middle and curled at both ends, while a
generous beard fell in luxuriant waves
over his shirt front.
Hoping to see this vision of manly
beauty, Mrs. Elliort opened the door,
and after one look—saw that she had
admitted a stranger.
For the man—it was a man—stepped
into the hall, and only that she barred
the way would have gone into the
parlor.
“Sir!” she demanded in tones that
she tried to make stern and steady,
“what means this intrusion?’’
“I came to beg of you—”
“I have nothing to give you.
“That diamond ring!”
Oh, heavens! it was her engagement
solitaire.
She looked at the wretch while al 1
the thoughts of a lifetime crowded into
that briet, moment, with this idea the
most prominent:
“How shall I identify him if he does
not murder me?”
Then she began taking notes while
she temporized with him.
“I shall not part with this ring while
I have life. One word—(the wretch has
a dimpled chin) would bring my hus
band, who has a seven-shooter ready
cocked (shaved skull, looks like a con
vict) and you would at once bo given
over to the authorities (the wretch has
recently shaved; traces of a mustache).
If you will go at once I will make no
outcry (what a fiendish expression) and
do not want my husband’s hands im
brued in your blood (the wretch actually
grinned) and you will never, never
possess yourself of my diamond ring.
(Oh, heavens! why doesn’t Jack come!”)
“Madam,” said the wretch, “I can
not loitre. My pals are waiting for me
round the corner. Give up the ring
without more ado!”
“Never, base wretch; take that, and
that, and that,” and she laid on blows
fast and furious, with an umbrella which
she had secured by a backward motion
of the hand.
“Jenny ,” said a calm voice as the um
brella was coolly taken out of her hand
by the turn of an athletic wrist, “are
you going to give me that ring?”
“Jack—are you that wretch?” and
Mrs. Elliort dropped on the lowest stair,
as limp as a rag doll. “What on earth
have you been doing to yourself ?”
“Getting my haircut and my summer
shave on. Perhaps you don’t like it?”
“W-w-h-ere’s your mustache?”
“At the barber’s.”
“You look just like a murderer, or-»-
or—a burglar!” cried Jenny, who dis
criminated in the profession, “I took
you for a ”
“Lawyer, doctor, beggarman, thief,
as we used to say when we were chil
dren. Well, they said my best friend
wouldn’t know me,” laughed her hus
band.
“C-o-m-e in,” said Mrs. Elliort reluc
tantly. “I suppose I must give you
house-room, but if ever there was a
bare-faced swindler you are one, Jack.”

Kite Flying in India,
This is the kite time among the boys
who still cling to the old style of mak
ing and flying these toys, says a writer
in the St. Louis Globe. Among our
boys the only object seems to be to get
a kite into the air and enjoy the monot
ony of holding the string. Lt me tell
you how they fly kites in East India,
where it is a science. There boys, as
well as men, spend the day in the most
exciting sport. They would laugh at
the idea of flying & kite merely to see it
in the air. At school in England I knew
a man who had learned the East Indian
science, and he taught me how to make
and fly a kite, aud I did not wonder,
after seeing him, what fun the East In
i dians had. At the proper season they
go out for a day’s sport, and fight kites
in away that would enrapture an Ameri-
can youth. They make a kite of two
sticks, one a straight, the other a bow
shaped piece of smooth wood, to which
a common piece of paper is pasted. The
tail is small, about in proportion and
shaped like the tail of a bird. The string
is carefully prepared by coating it with
a paste made of varnish and finely pow
dered glass. The latter is put on by
lining the string and winding it after
the coating has been dried. The string
is attached to the face of the kite ac
cording to the angle at which it is de
sired to have it stand in the air. There
is no running necessary to get the kite
into the air, for it is set up by a series of
jerks at the string. When as high as
desired, the manipulator, by carefully
jerking the string by which the kite exe- '
cutes a series of curves, moves it away
from the direct force of the wind, and ;
can in a circle of 360 degress bring it 120
degrees to the right or left. Thus, by
I the position of the kite in the air, it is
j difficult to locate the place where the
manipulator stands. Now for the ob
ject of the glazed string. When there
are several kites in the air, it is the de- i
sire of each manipulator to cat the
strings of the others. He tries first to '
get his kite higher than that of his op
ponent, then to move i[ to the right or
I left to cross the other’s string. When
| this has been accomplished he rewinds
his string nt a rapid rate. His kite
turns around like a wheel and descends.
His string falling upon that of the other
kite, cuts it like a saw. 1 have seen
one of these East Indian kites put into
the air so as to stand directly overhead,
parallel with the earth.
How Mudstones are Formed.
Since the people have been convinced
that there is virtue in madstones they
are springing up all over the country.
While at Union Point a few days ago
we saw a magnificent madstone, as large
as a Banks-county biscuit. The gentle
man who owns this stone says it came
from Alabama, where there was a large
deer lick. They are said to be found in
deer who visit these licks, and the min
eral taken into the animal’s stomach there
forms the madstone. The gentleman ■
also informed us that he had seen two
madstones broken open, and in one of
them was found a bullet and in the other
an acorn. Madstones are getting in de
mand, and a fine market will be open if
the dogs continue to have the distem

New Fuel.
Mr. Sahlstrom, of the Normal Com
pany, Aberdeen, Scotland, has, after a
long series of experiments, discovered a
new fuel, which is said to be an efficient
and economical substitute for coal, as
regards steam boiler furnaces. The basis
of the new fuel is pitch oil, which is
used in combination with superheated
steam. The invention has been in prac
tical use at the Normal Company’s works
for some time, and although the boiler
furnace was not specially constructed for
the new fuel, satisfactory results have ,
been obtained, a saving of nearly 30 per !
cent, in the cost of fuel having been es- |
fected.- [Tradesman.
Hopeful Converts.
Missionaries say that in China the peo-
I pie pay rapt attention to preaching
when they don’t understand a word of
what is said. While preaching one day
a missionary noticed a man who seemed
interested and paid marked
attention, apparently, to what was being
said. Thinking that here was an op
portunity of reaching an earnest soul, he
I directed all his attention to him, and
was considerably nonplused when, at
the end of about 15 minute’, the man
turned to his neighbor and said in an
’ audible tone, “He’s drunk!”

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.
Love is a severe critic. Hate can par
don more than love.
Man cannot live exclusively by intelli
gence and self-love.
The word “impossible” is the mother
tongue of little souls.
Conscience is the voice of the soul; the
passions are the voice of the body.
Chance opportunities make us known
to others, and still more to ourselvea.
Next to acquiring good friends, the
best acquisition is that of good books.
Actions, looks, words, steps, form the
alphabet by which you may spell char
acters.
Modesty is to worth what shadows are
in a painting; she gives to it strength
and relict.
Grand temples are built of small
stones, and great lives made up‘ of
small events.
You cannot dream yourself into a
character; you must hammer and forge
yourself one.
The most delicate, the most sensible
of all pleasures consists in promoting
the pleasures of others.
Cultivate forbearance till your heart
yields a fine crop of it. Pray for a short
memory us to all unkindness.
Good qualities are the substantial
riches of the mind, but it is good breed
ing that sets them off to advantage.
Life is kindled only by life, and the
highest form of living can only be caller!
into existence in a child by example.
It is a strange desire, to seek power
and to lose liberty; or to seek power
over others, and lose power over a man’s
self.
Love is like a painter, who in drawing
the portrait of a friend having a blemish
in one eye, would picture only the other
side of his face.
Sin is never at a stay; if we do njp
retreat from it, we shall advance in it;
and the further on wo go, the more W«
have to come back.
Painlessness of Throat Catting.
The victim of despondency who
hacks at his throat in a persistent at
tempt at suicide probably Inflicts much
less self tortue than we have been wonk
to suppose. Several years ago Prof.
Brown Sequard announced that stimula
tion of the larynx produces complete
loss of sensibility to pain in the body.
He has since observed that a similar,
though slighter, effect may be given by
irritation of the windpipe or even of the
skin covering the throat. By hundred* ,
of experiments, especially on dogs and
monkeys, this eminent pathologist has
demonstrated that, after simply cutting
the skin, he could lay bare, cut,
galvanize and even burn the various
structures in two thirds of the neck
without causing any great pain, and
sometimes with no apparent pain, what
ever. When he has killed dogs by
cutting their throats, death has occurred,
without convulsions and without agony;.
