MY GRAVE. If. when I die. I must he burled. let No eemet'rv engulf me; no lone grot Where the great palpitating world comes not. Save when, with heart bowed down, and eyelids wet. It pavs it* last and melancholy debt To some out Journeying pilgrim May my lot Be rather to lie in some much used spot. Where human life with u!J its noise and fret Throbs ou about.ine Let the roll of wheels. With all earth's sounds of pleasure, commerce, love. And rush or hurrying Teet. surge o’er my head Even in my grave 1 shall Ik* one who feels Close kinship with the pulsing world above And too deep quiet would distress me. dead —Ella Wheeler Wilcox in Pittsburg Bulletin The Alhambra's “Court of Lions.’* The Court of Lions tar exceeded my ex pectationa It is marble paved, a parallelo gram in shape, and has the far famed fountain, with its alabaster basins sup ported by twelve quaintly carved lions standing in the center On certain fete days, or upon the occasion of royal visits, the water leaps over the basins and spurts from the mouths of the statues, as it did in the golden days of Moorish pride and power On all four sides of the court are handsome arcades of open stucco work and elegant Moorish arches supported by slender white marble pillars, sometimes si::;,do. s metimes in clusters At each end. a portico or pavilion pro jects into the court, the light, fragile architecture of which seems almost to be long to fairyland The filigree stucco work is so delicate, the edges so sharply defined, so hard and white, that it seems to be of the purest snowy marble. When you stand before one of these beautiful peristyles, and look up to its open lace like walls, pierced with the fascinating Moorish arches, upheld by many slender pillars, all so full of elegance, grace and beauty, it is hard to realize that it has atood there for live or six hundred years It is so light and airy that we almost fear whlie gazing at it that it may fade away like a beautiful vision.—G. P. Gates in Boston Transcript. Fancy Leathers of Cotninorce. The morocco leather of commerce is either goat or sheep skin. Goat skins are treated differently from the skins which make the thicker leather, being tanned with sumac, and all thicknesses of the leather being used. The skins of wool bearing animals, like the sheep, are commonly soft and spongy, and therefore unsuitable for shoes designed for rough wear, so the sheep skiri3 are generally used for facings and linings. For our sheep skins we are indebted to Australia and South America, and they come to us by the way of England, where the wool is taken from them and the skin shipped to us as raw material The various fancy leathers, such as alligator, seal and the like, are very often sheep and goal leather stamped ahd pressed to imitate the genuine article, and kangaroo leather, so far from gracing the back of the kangaroo, generally has no higher origin than the Spanish donkey. —Globe-Dem oerat The Commodore’s Chief Concern. Commodore Vanderbilt was driving one day in Ilarlem lane, and as usual took the road, turning out for nobody Avery fast team came behind him, and the driver called on him to give room Van derbilt urged his horses forward and went straight on. believing he could not be passed. The other wagon dashed by, taking him ou the wheel and throwing him out on his head. lie was picked up insensible. It was feared at first that his neck might be broken. But ne recovered in a few minutes and inquired of the anxious bystanders: “Did any of you boys notice whether that ’ere hoss was trottin' or runnin’?” liis chief concern was to know if iho horse that had gone by him had kept liis gait.
