THE RIVER OF LIFE,
Tho more wo live, more brief appear
Our life’s succeeding stages ;
A day to childhood seems a year,
And years like passing ages.
The gladsome current of our youth,
Ere passion yet disorders,
Steals lingering like a river smooth
Along its grassy borders.
But ns tho careworn cheek grows wan,
And sorrow’s shafts fly thicker,
Yo stars, that measure life to man,
Why seem your courses quicker ?
When joys have lost their bloom and breath,
And lifo itself is vapid;
Why, ns we near the Falls of Death,
Feel we its tido more rapid?
It may be strange, yet who would change
Time's course to slower speeding,
When ono by one our friends have gone
And left our bosoms bleeding?
Heaven gives our years of fading strength,
Indemnifying fleetness;
And those of youth a seeming length
Proportioned to their sweetness.
Thomas CAMriiF.LL,
Yellow Hoses.
One evening, about two years ago, 1
went to upend a oouplo ot hours with
my old friend and neighbor, Mme. do
Lorgorei. Awaro of her extremo fond
ness for flowers, I took with me n bunch
of yellow roses, her especial favorites.
On this evening, os on many another, I
found her with an old gentleman who
bad aliont a year before como into that
neighborhood to tako possession of an
adjoining property, left him by n dis
tant relative on condition ho would
change his name io that of Deaooudraia,
I was quite jealous of tho intimacy that
noon had sprung np between liim and
tn.v dear old friend.
On the evening in question tiioy woro
busy over n gnmo of “Irio-trac.” I en
tered softly, so ns not to disturb them,
and waited nutll tho gnmo was over to
present my roses, Mure, do Lorgorel’s

coudrsis beenwo most strangely ab
stracted and thoughtful.
"Would you bcllcvo it, tny fric.ul,”
ho said, at length, “Ihoso flowers hnvo

“What I do know, nt nil events, is
that I die if sho be not mine 1”
"Oh, no! Softly, my hoy. Thero are
many reasons why sho should not bo

“In that case, undo, I know what J

“Nonsense 1 Do nothing silly. Liston

“Why not ?"
“Because I do not wish it and without

“If the girl loves you, and is willing

“Three years I”
“Peace, or I shall say four. H sho is

“Why, ask her, of course."

“Well, then obey your father, and

“Ah, unde; you do not know Naomi,
A hundred times have I tried to declare

but at the moment of speaking my
courage wanes, and each word drokes
me. Her impression is so sweet, hut
vet so grave. Tho man worthy of her
is not born 1 Writing was useless.
When my effusions were penned and
ready to bo sent, their utter foolishness
struck mo so forcibly that I was at
pains to tear my notes into small pioces.”
"Nevertheless, you must make up
your mind to speak at once. Your
fathor has not told you all; he sends
you to Clermont because his friond the
colonel’s daughter, is destined to be-
come your bruin, It would indeed be a
good match--no protestatious—this is

call it nousenso, but oorchauco tho non-

“Uucle, I have an idea,”
"Well?"
“I will writo io hor."
“Very well.”
"After leaving my dear nude I sot
about writing that note. Tho writing
was no difllcuit matter, for I had douo
it a hundred times itefore; tho puzzlo
was how to give it to her. However,
there was no time for indecision, so I
soon made up my mind, and, having
purchased a bunch of yellow roses, I
slipped my declaration in among tho
flowers. J still recall tho words of thnt
note. After declaring my passion, I
besought Naomi to lovo mo a littlo in

If she consented, I asked her, as a sign,

What has become of him—the old
schoolmaster ?
Thirty years and more ngo in every
community almost, there was a school
teaohor whoso personality was strongly
felt in all its oonoeru. His school was
a private ono. As a rule ho had no
other nmbition than to tench, nnd
sought for no reward other than tho
success of his pupils iu their respective
walkB of lifo. Ho wns n man whoso
opinions were respected by parents nnd
whoso admonitions had weight with the
pupils. In those days the boy recog
nized that ho owod respect not only to
tho injunctions of his parents but to
those of tho teacher, and so admirnhlo
was tho relation nnd understanding be
tween tlio parent and tenchor that there
was rarely any clashing. Tho boy who
while nt homo, was under tho control of
parental discipline, did not esonpc tho
curb during school hours. The teacher
took up tho reins where tho parent laid
them down. Tho effect of this arrange
ment wns most snlntory. Hundreds of
tho most distinguished mon of tho timo
acknowledge tho controlling influence of
tbofr old schoolmasters upon their livos.

a Queer Shower in Lake Michigan.
A most extraordinary and possibly
inexplicable ocourrenoo was notiood in
Lake Michigan a few days ago. Tho
facts, ns related by a Detroiter who is
personally cognizant of thorn, aro as fol
lows: On tho day noted there wns a
light, wnrm shower at Wnugoshnnco
Lighthouse, which is in Lake Michigan,
abont 25 mill's wcBt of Mackinno. Im
mediately following tlio shower somo
men who woro at work on tlio foghorn
building heard rattling nnd crashing
overhead and hostouod out to learn tho
cause of so unusual n demonstration.
The roof of the building and tho pier of
tho lighthouse had in an instant been
covered io tlio dopth of an iuoh with a
dry, ohnlk-liko Bubstaneo. Thosurfaoo
of the lake, too, ns far ns they conld nee
was covered witli a like substanoo whioli
tho waves lashed into foam. This sin
gular occurrence flllod tho moil at tho
light-house with dread and dismay for a
timo, but as no harm onmo thoy soon
began to look about for an cxplnnntion.
Two of thorn applied thoir tongues ro-
poatodly to the stuff, nnd tho experi
ments made them seriously ill. A
quantity of it is now in tho possession
of James Bartlett, of the Buhl Iron
works. It smells strongly of lye, but it

“Why do wo never bos red clover

“For tho simplo reason that thero is
never any made by honey boos. There
is no blossom so rich iu stores of sweet
ness as tho red clover blossom, as every
schoolboy whoso privilege it is to pluck
them and snok their nectar well knows.
But tho honoy beo uovor collects it, be

red clover is so deep nnd small that tho
beo cannot reach the honey. Tho bee
knows this, and, if yon will think a mo
ment, yon will remember that you never
saw a hive boo on n red olover blossom.
They do not waste thoir time in efforts
to obtain sweets that aro boyond their

it lias yet to learn n trick that is os old

clover ho punctures a hole in the base
of tho corolla and,thrusting iu his tongue,
sucks out tho nectar. Unfortunate
ly this big, clumsy bee is not much
of n honey maker. You might rob a
score of bumble beo nests and not obtain
a quarter of a pound of honey; aud be-
i ides, his nestB are few and far botwoen.
Consequently we will have to wait until

snmo faces at tlio lowor end of tlio i

Tho racing itsolf does not interest them, 1
They do not even tnko tho troublo of I

cause them to wise; but it is only to sco '
Hint the liorso that they liavo backed is !

most philosophical outward indifferenco.
An instaneo occurred a fow days ago,
within tho hearing of tho writer, which
fully hIiowh to wliat nn oxtont womon
will go thnt hnvo become enslaved to
betting. It wns tlio race which Vocalio
won at Hhoejishond Bay on Saturday.
Tho finish between him aud MiBs Brews
ter was a very eloso ouo, and from thnt
part of iho stand where tho writor sat it
looked very much ns if tho filly bnd
won by a nose. Immediately behind
tlio writer sat a middlo-ngod woman, of
mutronly proportions and demonnor.
Hor face wns white with suppressed ox-
oitomeut. Iu fact, sho was so nervous
that she did not trust herself to look nt
tlio race. When Miss Brewster chal
lenged Vocalio in tlio stretch sho arose,
however, nud big bends of perspiration
started oil her forehead. As tlio horses
shot past tho post sho clutched ttie
writer’s arm and lionrsoly inquired;
“What do yon think won, sir?” "Miss
Brewster, I believe,” was tlio reply.
"My God," sho exclaimed, “don’t tell
mo that 1 I have hacked tho otnor ono.”
A fow minutes aftor, Vocalic’s number
wont up. The woman almost cried witli
joy. “That snved me,” sho said, for-
gotting hor reserve in her delight. “I
was away out on tho mooting, and to got
oven I took #00, which my husband bad
laid aside to pnv tbo interest on a loan.
Twonty-Uvo dollars wont, on tho other
rnocs, aud, attracted by Vocalio’s light
weight, I determined to risk all thnt was
loft on him. Had Vocalic lost, I am
afraid that I conld not hnvo faced my
husband. Now, however, I win #150,
whieli puts me nearly $50 to tho good
on the meeting.”

Voices from tho Depths.
A story is told of tho Ponnsyl vanin oil
regions to tho effect that some parties
who were employed to remove tho tubing
and ensiug from an abandoned oil well,
solemnly declared that they heard a
spirit-like voice which cursed tho men
who were robbing tho bowels of tho
earth of heating mnterinl, Theso same
spirit voices told of deaths, past and
present ovonts, thus startling tho work
men until two of thoir number trembled
with fear. The spirits swore wrathful
vengeance upon tho group if they men
tioned having had communication with
the spirits of the mysterious depths of
mothor earth. One of tho number, how
ever, broke the secrecy, and to this day
does not know that the well was drilled
through a chamber in a coal bank, and
that two witty miners, learning when
tho well was to bo abandoned, stationed
themselves nt tho holo aud conversed iu
hollow tones with the workmen ouo hun
dred feet above tuem, Tho old well can
still bo seen iu the ooal bank.
The Assault.—A testy man entered a
restaurant just in time to hear the waitca
yell an order to tlio cook. This visitor
wonld hnvo boeu about live feet six had
his legs been straight. But they were
bandy to a highly doformatory 'degree.
It happened that tho waiter’s eyes were
fixod on tlio bow legs at the same in
stant that ho cried "Frogs’ legs for
ono I" There was a smile on his face
and special significance in his tone, ac
cording to tho angered man’s defence,
when the case of assault came to trial in
a Chicago court.
“Do you know what the board over

A Lost Landmark.
A New York correspondent says: At
the corner of Park row and Beekmnu
street stood Lovejoy’s, tho great lioad-
quarters of outgoing aud returning Cali
fornians. Tlio charges were 50 cent;
per day for room, and in tho basement
was nn enormous restaurant, with low
prices, open day and night. Tlio clerks
here had some ludicrous experiences.
On tlio arrival of a California steamer
the hotiBe wns soon after thronged with
tonghly-dressed whiskernudos, who,
after depositing most of their money in
tho hotel safe, wonld go out first to
a barber, then au outfitter, and, return
ing to tho house somo hours inter, would
not be recognized by the clerks; nnd
s metimes it was necessary for them to
be identified by some friend better
kuown in order to get the balance of
their money, so changed were they by
the different “artists” through WU0B9

A .rf'oumnent to a Woman.
Tho statue of Margaret nnughcry, the
first monument ever raised in tho United
States to n woman, was unveiled in New
Orlenus in tho presouco of au immenso
audience, including hundreds of or
phans from tho asylums of tho city.
Margaret Haughcry was an unlettered
Christian woman, who by her energy
and industry amassed n competence.
Although a devout and fervent Catho
lic, she know no creed aud recognized
no faith iu tho dispensation of her be
nevolence. Although sho responded to
all worthy calls for assistance, sho be
stowed most of tier baunty on the or
phans, and when sho died she wns
known as tho orphans’ friend. Tho
statue represents Margaret silting in a
chair clasping au orphan io hor sido,
while her hand rests upon the cnild,
who is bending forward, looking np
into her faeo. The pedestal surmount
ing the base is of Italian marble. The
group is also of Italian ninrble. Tho
entire cost of the decoration for tho
grand pedestal and statue wiil be

The Taunton Gazette tells this little
story: A singular story is told about tho
union of two loving hearts in this city
which is worth repeating. Tho lady was
passing tho establishment where her
husband that now is was lazily viewing
passers-by, and as she arrived within
tlio focus of his eyes she began to gape,
and though she tried to repress it with
all hor might it was of no use—tho gapo
came. Just at this momont sho hap
pened to look np and caught the laugh
ing glanceof “him" and tho contagion at
once spread—it broke both of them all
up, so to Bpoak, aud when a short timo
afterward they were introduced by a mu
tual friend it became a very easy matter
for both to slide at once into a blissful
stato of feeling whioh, we are happy to
state, surrounds them yet, with a fair
prospeot of a prolonged existence.
An Honest Statement.

Truth, lias a happy faoulty of saying
some very good things," bnt we do not
remember any that ia so thoroughly and
truthfully to the point as the following :
"Au Anglo-American paper has ao-
jused me of being unkind to American
ladios, and said that I ought to be
ashamed of myself. I am neither peni
tent nor blushing. The ladies I spoke
of ore not Amerioan in either law or
feeling. They turned their backs on
honest Jonathan and his brethren to
marry, for the sake of wholly worthless
titles, French gommeux. Because I
admire American ways, I dislike women

tlio snow fell fast, and boforo night nit

As the night woro on tho fatal drowsi

his sheep to sleep nud dio, for lio was

help ho full nsleop, aud as ho lay thoro
more sheep came and huddled around
him. Btrango, indeed, as it mny seem,
tlio warmth from thoir bodies kopt him
from being frozen to dentil. A party
from home went in sonreli of him, and,
they fonnd liim surronudod by a dozon
