In the year 626 of our era, wheii Ed

ating on receiving the Ohrlitian mission

“The preaeot life of min, O King, com

when tbe abort moment of happiness baa

time when the decline of a future life
was not held. The whole life of man in
the first ages was ponderously deter
mined on death. ^It rnat^e every man an

undertaker and the pries
of aextona. The chief end of man be
ing to be buried well, the arts most ia
request were masonry and embalming,
to give imperishability to the corpse.
The Greek, with his perfect senses and
yeruptions, bad quite another philoso
phy. He loved life and delighted in
beanty. He drove away the embalmera,
he built no more of those doleful, moun
tainous tombs. He adorned death
bought wreaths of parsley and laurel;
made it bright with game, of strength
and skill and chariot races.
Nothing can excel the beauty of the
■aroophagus. Toe poet of Shelley says of
them: “ They seem not so much tombs
as voluptuous chambers for immortal
pirits.”
Christianity brought a new wisdom
But learning depends on the learner. No
more truth can be conveyed than the
popular mind can boar. Death is seen
as a natural event and is met with firm-

be written on his tomb: “ Tuink on

Bad Country for Doctors.
A medical man in Spolete. Italy, called
in to attend a child who was ill,*was in
formed by the father that, should he
cure the infant, two thousand lire would
be his reward, but that should he fail he
would infallibly be shot. He undertook
the case, and the child shortly after
died, whereupon the father, true to the
compact, brought his gun, and at once
put an end to the labors and tho life of
the unhappy doctor. In Italy juries are
generally lenient to a murderer, and the
Hunting for a Word.
An anecdote of Moore, the Irish poet,
shows how much pains a writer who does
good work will take to pat the right
word iu the right place. Moore was on
a visit to a literary friend iu France,
and, while there, wrote a short poem.
One day, while the guest was engnged
iu his literary labor, the two took a stroll
into an adjacent wood, and the host soon
perceived that his companion was given
up to his own thoughts; he was silent
and attracted, noticing neither his
friend and entertainer, nor the surround
ing beauties of the landscape,
lk -and-by he began to gnaw the fin
ger-tips of his glove, pulling and twitch
ing spasmodically, and wlu
owner of the gun was ndjudged to pay
' ousana li
fine of twenty-five thousand lire and suf
fer ten years’ imprisonment only.
A Spirited Duet.
“Sing me, mine owu," he whispered,
lovingly, as they both sat down ou the
*“* piano stool, “sill'* me ‘ Oh, whisper
hat thou fcelcet.’ ,f “I will, youuu
man, I will,” said the tremulous tones of
her papa, from the direction of the door.
“ We will sing it as a duet, you and I. X
will feel, and you can whisper wliat it
is.” And then he felt for the boy with
his feet, and went on, with unfeeling in
difference. “And you needn’t conlino
f ourself to a whisper, necessarily, in tcl-
ing what you feel, niidwhntit feels like.
Give it voice, young man; give it voice.’
An Angel, But Ugly.
The other evening an old gendemnn
advanced the proposition that never in
the course of his long life had he seen a
woman that was not charming.
“Oh, really, now,” said a lady whoso
nose was of the purest Ukraine breed,
“don t you think I m ugly?
“Not at all mndame, replied the gal
lant old gentleman. “You are an angel,
fresh fall n from heaven, only you fell

The rest of the day was spent as usual,
save that ever and anon Moore would

and the poet went to bed in a deep

Tiie following morning was bright and

from this that all who have located
within the domain of the Lone Star are
to be miRpccled of financial short-com

portions of the state many well-to-do
farmers and merchants are found who
have migrated from the frost-lands ^ of
Minnesota and Wisconsin to a region
which, at the worst, knows but a few
days of cold and snow in the course of a
twelvemonth. >Such men have built up
a condition of society of which they are
justly proud, and jealous lest the sins of
the frontier, which have too often made
tho name of Texas a synonym of lawless

Fears of a grasshopper invasion in tho
Sierra Nevada Valley have caused old
inhabitants to give their recollection of
the devastation produced by them
twenty years ago. They were remark-

they found fallen trees
of march they banked tip against them
to the depth of threo feet, forming an
inclined plane, up which marched tho
advancing host. On tho north side of
dwellings the insects thus banked up
died, and the inmates had to shovel
them up and cart them sway. In somo
places this year they have filled the
creeks and fouled th® water to such a
degree that the cattle will not drink it.
