OLD RHYMES. Tramlatcd from Manual of Phonography by Mrs. Viola Jackton. The lopped tree in time may grow again ; Most naked plants renew both fruit and flowers; The sorest wight may find re IW from rain, The diyest soil snck in some moistening showers ; T : mes go by turns, and chances change by cnrse From foal to fair—from better hnp to worse. The sen of Fortune doth not ever flow — She draws her favors to the lowest ehb; Her tides have equal limes to come and go. Her loom doth weave the fine and coarsest wr b; No joy so ereaf bnt rnnneth to an end ; No hop so hard but may in fine amend. Not slwnvs full of leaf, Dor ever Spring ; No endless n ; gbt, nor yet eternal day ; The saddest bird n season finds ro sing ; ’ The roughest storm a calm mav soon ailav. Thus with succeeding teims, God tempereth all, That man may Lope to rise, yet fear to fall. A chance may win what by mischance whs lost; A net that holds no great, takes little fi-h In some tilings all, in all things none are crossed ; Few all they need, hat rone have all they wish ; _ Unmingli d joys here to no man hefall; Who least, both some; who most, hath never all. The Nihilist Spectre. Beranger. the French poet, produced some lotty and stirring lyrics. No poet has over been wafted onwnrd and upward on more daring knd vigorous pinions. In one of these, “The King of the Cossacks,” the most dramatic end powerful of the entire collection, he says (iiie translation is by Francis Mahoney) : In a night of storm I have seen a form—and the figure was a giant, And h : s eye was bent on the Cossack’s teat, end his look was all defiant ; Kingly his crest—and toward the west with *** his battle nx he pointed : ADd the “form” I saw was Attiia! of this earth the scourge anointed If for At'iln we substitute Nihilism, flint red spectre which threatens the dissolution of Ktiropenn society the resemblance of the pictnre to the condition of Europe at the present time will be just ns complete and perfect as it won at n time when the hoofs of the Cossacks' charges trampled upon the pride of European civibzntion and upon the abortion of French liberty, strangled ta deulli at its very birth. It is u curious fact that in ancient, ns well as in modern times, the civil'zntinn of Europe perished in the lap of either Asiatic sensti oasness or Asiatic barbarism. Greece met her doom in the conquest of Asia by Alex der. Rome sank to her denth in the mkbt of Asiatic luxury, both intellectual and physical. In modern times we find ,the Asiatic Cossack hosts trampline upon the liberties of Poland, of France, of Hungary. As the great mountain chains of Asia gen erally Rlope towards the west, and those of Europe toward the east, so the moTements of the races of both continents, tend to a common arena upon which the political ideas of each must fight its battle with its ap point! d opponent, in that physical, ns well as spiritual, field of ArmugedJon which the prophet constitutes the last great conflict of the ages. The present foundation of political life in Europe was laid in France. There arose a purely ideal and ethical liberty, which never put iiselt in any practical and useful com munication with the concrete facts of life and the presence of events and passions; but which either lost itself in the abstrac tions ol the imagination or wrecked itself in the midst af those pictorial and dramatic, ns well as.bloody, episodes from which human ity turned with lon thine and horror. It was only in Great Britain that such n comprom ise between tlie ideal and the actual of po litical life was effected as to preserve the latter from that incertitude and inaptitude which have ever followed the attempt to bring political and social liberty in direct contact wiih men and events in France. Great Biitain is to-day in Europe the only country in which, by n most remarkable compromi e between ideal and actual and practical statesmanship—between the theo ries and the facts of political life—liberty has been to any decree preserved in a defi nite and positive relation to modern civil - izntion. Germany, the third great State of Europe, presents a remarkable contrast to both France and England. That country is ao intensely material, positive, nnd practical in the political sphere, that in it no place is h and for the realization either of the ideal ism of France or that intellectmdism of England which is a golden mean between the theory and the facts of political life and action. Germany is the political puz zle and problem of the day ; lor in it we Pnd the idealism of France, represented by lAt?al!e and his di«ciples. face to face with a political positivism. repres»Dted by Bis marck, so intensely rigid and unbending that a collision between the two is, sooner or later, sure to ensue When such collision come 9 either one or the other interest and toree in the State wilt call in outside help, if necessary, to sustain it. Heretofoie Russia has represented not only the most intensely actual ami concrete government in Europe, but has proved her self, on several occasions, the refnge and the hope of those nations which reflected her policy and institutions While, however, France exhibits the ideal, England Ibe intellectual and Germany the materialistic, expression of the European political struct nie, and each definitely and characteristi cally, Russia contains the three diverse and antagonistic elements within her own tor riers, in such nearly balanced proportions as to invite a perpetual struggle. She is, even new, in the throes of a conflict which threat ens her political, if not her social, existence. The immediate outcome of that conflict is cot easily foi etokl. Meanwhi'e, it would be- strange if Ru=sia. which hitherto has always drawn trr sword in order lo pre.-erve civilization in Europe, were, in turn, compelled lo ask aid lrmn without in order to tnaintcin it as a living force anOical^y^j^yl^owji^u^s of ideal liberty brought down upon its ted head the vengeance of an outraged civil ization. To-dnv, in Russia-, we find the arrogance of ideal despotism bringing down apon its stiff necked rulers also the venge ance of an outraged civilization, so ravished of everything desirable and sweety and 'ova 'hie in life as to compellt t« ennrt political and social, as well as physical death. Tbn», in less than a centurv, irvolntion lia« stalked from one erd of Knrope to the nthpr. The revolntion of liber'v marched from west to cart chanting its Marseillaise under the ralsee windows of the K : ngs. On the other hand the 'evolution of despotism, in the form of Irnrhaioa* Cossack hosts, marches to meet it from east to west, led on by rulers who etaim that, to pave society, tfey must sacrifice I bertv. When these great opposing forces and principles, ench seeking a practical realization of its respec tive theories, meet io thut della of death to which the different eolumns appear to he taking up their line of march, Europe will witness a conflict such as the world has never before seen. The questions which stand beetling over all others, in view of this conflict, are : Which will triumph liberty or despotism ? Can liberty be made to sus tain a definite and indefeasible relation to European -civilization T—C/ocago Herald. • How They Die. Collections of quaint epi'apha very n r ten find ihoir way into print ; but how appall ingly rich oor language is in aphorisms on death of all styles, serious, slangv and ghastlv hnmorons. Indeed, every• deceased person may he suited with an appropriate one, in dicative of his profession, character «r man ner of depth. Thus the polite man bids farewell to the world, the nie-chnnt closes his earthly accounts, the little child is re ceived among Ihe angels, the lamplighter has had his lump of life extinguished, the wearied go to rest, the night-watchman’s hour of re lief strides, the sailor casts anchor, the ferry .man puys his fare to Charon, the reaper bites the grass, the gossip goes to the silent tomb, the gravedigger sinks into the pit, Hie tippler’s last draught is drawn, the watch maker runs down, the nnhappy breathe out their lust sighs, the wanderer has gone to his home, the weaver’s life-thread is cut by the fates, the bootblack goes to ttie shining land, the musician’s wind has given out or his string has snapped, the dentist is filled in, the flutist pij>es oo his last bole, the sniok r’s pipe is put out, the sluggard goes to the land that knows no waking, Hie commission merchant is consigned to the dust, the noble man is gathered to his fathers, the eyes of the iniquitous ore clo-ed by death, the jockey hag ino his last race, the washerwoman lias wrung ont her spirit, the atheist has had to 1 believe In it, the General has been trnns ferrtd to the great army, Ihe servant goes to meet his master, the Indian brave goes to the happy hunting grounds, the hero has fought his last battle, Hie soldier has stacked his arms, the glutton must eat the dust, the butchers go the way of all flesh, the ticket agenj parses in his checks, the post office employee goes to the dead letter office, thp bloated bondholder is called in, the banker is drawn on by death and without recourse honors it, the jig-dancer shuffles off his mor tal coil, the linguist is transplanted to a bet ter land, the. distiller gras lo the Inml of spirits, the tiageJian makes his exit from the static of life, the body-snatcher awaits the resurrection, the angler has at last become food for the worm, the loafer “skips the gut ter,” the florist goes where the woodbine twineth, the ice mans'iffns lip. the crockery man’s rase is shattered Ihe clothier is non suited at last, Ihe insurance man pays his Inst premium, Hie hod-carrier goes to the highest round, the printer’s lorm is locked, the engineer's throttle is closed, the police man is pulled to his narrow cell, the buse haHist makes n home run, the Mormons go up the rehstinl Salt creek, the furmer is "planted the lynched bordermun "walks ofl a barrel, climbs u sapling, dances on the air, or becomes cottonwood fruit, or is leit kick ing at the United Slates," and lastly the con fidence operator—well, he leaves for “parts unknown’’—hat in the end they oie all dead, just (he same.— Hartford Past. Skvkn A ons ok Man —AH the world’s a stage, and all the men nnd women merely players. Fome of them most confoundedly poor players, too; they have their exits and their entrances, but a large proportion of them would rather have whisky as a steady thing. And one man in time plays many parts—right field, centre field, catcher, short ston, etc. At first the infant, mewling and puking in its nurse’s arms and yelling fire ; and then the school hoy with his dinner bucket, and whining, mourning lacc. creep ing like a snail, unwillingly to school, with a sheep skin under his jacket ; and then the lover, s ghing like a blast furnace, with a woful ballad, fearfully and wonderfully m ule, to his mistress’ eyebrows, and his coat-tail pockets filled with confectionery ; then n soldier, full of strange oaths and bugs, jeal ous of honor, sudden and quick in quarrel, seeking the bubble reputation even in the cannon’s mouth at thirteen dollars a month and found; and then the alderman, with a bay window on his stomach, full of wise sausage and many other things to eat. who charges two dollars for marrying a man, and kisses the bride without leave or license. The sixth age shifts into the lean and slip pered pantaloons, with or without ruffles, as the case may be ; eventful history is second childhood and more oblivion, sans teeth, runs eyes, sans taste, sans everything, except a wondeiful faculty of lying about the hot summers and cold winters of bia younger d.ys.

During a part of the way the dove flies just back of the cab, under the pillar of smoke, and within a few leet of the engineer, and a part of the way beside the engineer’s window end within two feet of his band as be stretches it toward her. Occasionally she falls back to the rear of the train, a* if surveying it. but only to resume her wonted place a moment later.
