»v IN THE SHADOW,
Drear is the night with its wavering light,
And the moon is under a cloud,
Each planet afar the wraith of a star
Gleams pale in its mist-woven shroud,
Love!
So wan in its chilling, white shroud 1
IVaarv the feet on the desolate street
That bear my burden and me;
My comrades are gone, and I am atone,
To think of heaven and thee,
Love,
To dream of heaven and thee!
Hungering I in my loneliness sigh
For thee and all that thou art,
For the lovelight that lias in thy glorious
> eyes
To cheer my famishing heart.
Love,
To cheer my desolate heart!
Vain the desire! Hope’s bright beacon fire
Burns dimly in life’s autumn rain,
While I walk these lone ways and long for
the days
That will dawn for me never again,
Love,
The days that will dawn not again!

A Famous Irish Giant.
In Trinity College, Dublin. Ireland, is
still preserved the skeleton of Cornelius
McGrath, who, after his death, at the age
of twenty-four, was found to measure
seven feet eight inches in height. When
fifteen years of age he was attacked by
violent pains, which were at first sup¬
posed to be rheumatic, but which were
afterward surmised to be growing pains,
for during one year he grew from the
height of five feet to that of six feet
eight and three-quarter inches. A boy,
sixteen years of age, of that extraordinary
size, naturally attracted a great deal of
attention, and a crowd of men, women
and children always followed him when-
ever he showed himself in the streets of
Cork. His hand is described as about
the size of an ordinary shoulder of mut¬
ton ; the lasts on which his shoes were
made measured fifteen ftiches in length;
but for all his bulk he was very moder¬
ate in eating and drinking.—[All the
