AFTERNOON.
When in thy glass thou studieefc thy face,
Not long, nor yet not seldom, half repelled
And half attracted; w hen thou baat beheld ;
Of Time s slow ravages the crumbling trace i
(Deciphered now with many an interspace
The characters erewhile that Beauty spelledk, ’
And in thy throat a cheating fear liath sweUec
Of Love, grown cold, eluding thy embrace:
Could’st thou but read tny gaae of tenderness—
Affection fused with pity—precious tears
Would bring relief to thy unjust distress;
Thy visage, even as it to me appears.
Would seem to thee transfigured; thou would**
bless
Me, who am also, Dearest, scarred with years!

Age can not wither her whom not gray hairs
Nor furrowed cheeks have made the thrall ol

For Spring lies hidden under Winter’s rime,

When I went out of Paradise
1 turned a backward glance to see
Two flaming swords: once, twice and thrle*
I turned and turned ere I could flee.
Then down the darkened path I sped,
And heard heaven's gate behind me close;
What matter then if, quick or dead.
The world of men before me rose?
What matter now, indeed, to day,
These lower honors, lower gains?
Above me shines that higher way--
1 might have walked the heavenly plains!

A Brand New Phrase,
The residents of that famous slang pro»
ducing district known as Kensington
have a brand new phrase by which to ex¬
press the degree of inebriety to which a
lover of the ardent may have attained in
indulging his taste. A couple of inebri¬
ated cha ps were wending thei r crooked way
up the principal thoroughfare, and one of
them in an exuberance of spirits clapped
the other upon the shoulder and loudly
expressed his opinion of the other fellow’s
virtues. The shock of the blow was
enough to shake the hat from his head
and it rolled into the gutter. “Thnsii
so!” assented he, with drunken serious¬
ness, “but (hie) l’sh too drunk to stand'sh
under my own hat.” A crowd of youths
standing near at the time appreciate* 1 the
phrase, and it is now on the list as m
popular slang term.—Philadelphia (’all.

W. P. Bouuett, for many years suner'ii*
fendent of the teams and stages of Wells,
Fargo City, & Co., Nev., has Just the sent Norwegian east from Vir¬
ginia snow
shoes with which for twenty years he has
traversed the Sierras. They are of white
ash and ten feet long. In 1867 he carried
the company’* express packages across
the mountain* and was fifty-two hours in
a snowstorm. When he got baek the
Widow Bryant—now Mrs. John W.
Mackay—told him that in twenty years
his snowshoes would be bought as relics.
She was right. Once the shoes ran away
with Mr. Bennett, and he went down the
Kingsbury grade into Lake valley, a dis¬
tance of over turo miles, in four minutes.

It is quite astonishing the number of well
meaning people who come up to Washington
in search of a pennon. They seem to think
that all they have to do is to make personal
application at the bureau and the money will
be handed out to them at once. There is a
general impression that that nearly everybody is
getting a pension; the pot is boiling,
and now is the time to dip in. A few days
ego a forlorn looking man walked into the
pension bureau. He had walked 800 miles
from near Wheeling, W. Va. He had but
one shoe, was pe nnil es s mid hungry and sim¬
ple—as any man must be who would do such
* foolisif thing. He could not legally prove
that he was entitled to a pension, and of course
could not get In fact, he could not
prove anything, and in a sort of a half dazed
condition he started to walk back. Borne of
the clerks in the bureau passed around the hat
and raised |4 for him, that he might not
starve on the road.
Washington is a bad place for a poor man
without friends. The proper way for all
seeking pensions is to put their claim into
the hands of an agent. They run no risk in
doing this, sines the law protects them as
regards fees It is just as foolish for the
wall to do Vermont farmer to make a jour¬
ney to Washington, hoping to get a ten¬
sion, as it was for the tramp from VVest
Virginia. only granted after
certain facts have been legally proved.
Aud the place to do that is at home.—Fuller
