AFTER READING SIR EDWIN ARNOLD,
Give me red loamy poppy lands this autumn
Let L tin ’s stream flow soft ’twist banks of
i drenched rue,
L t not waken in that paradise of light
Wlu. sleeps the bulbul with a wait ot song
and—you.
But let me dream and through the silvery
planmice roam
Where lemon grass grows spearlike and the
blue doves i oo.
There may I pluck white lotus from the whit-
er foam
And cm the rippled shores find peace and love
and—you.
Go with me. Find with me the sun bird’s
trolden go nest
Hid ’neatk a musky branch of amaranth and
dew.
Sh .kc; not the leafage dense, but let us love
and rest.
I love your lute when siLut and your lips
and—you.
S ° " 6 o!T m Wltbin thG tloistered erwi '

Whero sapphired wings are folded all the
warm night through,
And when we wake enclasped in new love
ne’er grown old
I will content my love with rest and morning
and with—you.

AN OMNIBUS EPISODE.
Good Intentions Precipitate a Free Fight,
and Arrests Follow.
Just at the moment when a Montmartre
omnibus was starting, a practical joker
notieod an odd looking old gentleman
clinging on to the step. Sauntering up to
another elderly worthy who was on the
point of following, this wicked individual
whispered in ids ear in confidential fash-
ion: "You see that gentleman. He is my
uncle. He has just got out of an asylum,
and is still rather weak in the upper
story. Be so kind as losee that he alights
at St. Eustaobe. I shad bo so much obliged
to you.”
The good man promised to discharge
this mission faithfully, and when the om-
nibus had reached St. Eustnche, lie pulled
the old gentleman by the sleeve and saul:
‘Hero wo are. Now you must get out.”
The person thus addressed stared ac bun
In amazement, and when the speech had
been repeated several times, he gave vent
to language of ungrateful not to say rede
tenor, winding up with the exclamation
that if this was intended for a jest ho did
not see the gist of it. A mild remonstrance
met with a rebuff of an even sterner na¬
ture, promptly followed up by a well di-
rooted blow.
Evidently the old gentleman had loft
the asylum too soon, thi ught the good
Samaritan who had undertaken to see him
safely to his destination, but smarting
from the injury tHat he had received he
hit out with equal vigt.r, and in a moment
a sparring match was taking place in the
omnibus, to the consternation of tne ladies
present, who gave vent 10 a chorus of
the aid of the police, and eventually mo
combatants were led, with blackened eyes,
to the station
Then, after tho usual examination, they
learned tot eir disgust that they had been
the victims of the practical joke'r who had
n vseired himself as the anxious nepl w
*>f the odd 1 ■ king old gentleman.—GuLg
nani Moss.c. O or.
The Mefioc Wines.
Only by a journey to the very head of
"'"'orv between the Atlantic
tho long proniuY... ,
and the Gironde can one form an idea of
* ho Prodigious quantity of the Medoo
wines. For 60 miles you aro nevor quite
sight of vineyards. Here and there
they absorb the horizon on both sides.
They are strikingly different in quality,
however, as has been said, A patch of
wizened, shriveled plants, with a few
loaves and no alluring clusters, may be
soon absolutely contiguous to a vineyard
full of flue, healthy fruit. It is of course
an affair of cultivation and soil. Like
other things, tho Medoo grape responds
eagerly to loving caro. You may have
plants of fir^t class pedigree, and the soil
that suits them best, and yet fail to pro-
duco a distinguished wine, if your eulti-
vators aro not of as good quality as your
plants. Liko hops in England, the vines
aro most sensitive to human attention.
One marvels a little at tho apparently
rude nature of the soil to tho vinos on
which labels with famous names are af¬
fixed. But the truth is the Modoc vino
does not want to be excessively pampered.
^ a £ oot D rough, gravelly soil, with a
fair proportion of sand underneath, for su-
perfluous rains to Vanish readily into, and
it will be as grateful to you as it well
knows bow to be. A gravely subsoil yields
wine remarkable for delicacy, but if thero
a preponderance of stones in the sub¬
soil the wine will be strong rather than
delicate, appealing to the brain more than
to the palate.—Chambers’ Journal.
How Grant Got a Customer.
Captain U. S. Grant used to drive
through southern Wisconsin selling leath-
ur . A young German opened a shop at
Lancaster. Grant called upon the Ger-
man. After trying again and again in
vain to make the young man understand,
j )0 a S fc e d a friend to direct him to some
ono w ho could talk German. A Mrs. Cox
was named. Captain Grant, re-enforced
by Mrs. Cox, renewed the attack on the
you”g German and made a good customer,
That is he way Grant fought it out on
the Lancaster line.
Mrs. Cox is still living and delights in
talking about the times w in n she was Gou-
eral Grant’s interpreter.—Chicago Times-
Herald.
—
Very Rare.
Dealer In Antiques—Here are two very
rare revolvers,
Customer—What is their history?
“They were carried by Columbus.”
‘ What! Revolvers weren’t invented in
Columbus’ time.”
* I know. That’s what makes them so
rare.’’—Philadelphia Record,
_
Lack of Culture.
Harry—What girl was that you had in
tow last evening?
Willy (indignantly) — What you aro
pleased to call tow is usually spoken of by
people of culture as biond tresses.—Bos-
ton Globe.
Hard Lines.
“They say he hadn’t a penny when he
married. How, then, has he managed to
keep a wife?”
‘ He lias kept her in suspense probably.”
—Detroit Free Press.
It is said to be a bad habit for a man to
put his hands into his pockets, but there
is one habit that is much worse—namely,
to put his hands into some one else’s
pockets.
The Indian population are not skillful
in any line of manufacture, save their
own crude industries.
