IN DREAMLAND. I cannot go back to the past, dear, Sot (trim as 1 dreamed before. Ere the sunlight bat left me forever. When you smiled in my dreama as of yore. 1 know it was only a dream, dear. That has passed with the - r.ringti-le away; It was scarcely your fault If 1 deemed It No dreauu wbeu we played our play. It waa not your fault that 1 woke, dear, And the pain of tho waking Is mine; It lias never brought sadness or sorrow To that gobies head of thine. For my life was so fresh aad so fair, dear. And you loved trie lit was out a dream >, And tny life was a poem, made glorious By u vision which did but Imam On my path to malts darkness mure dark, dear; And now that all dreaming is done. With roe stays Its memory forever; It was not your lore that 1 won, But hers whom I met long ago, dear, in the far post days of roy youth. Whan I wandered forever In dreamland, And trusted la honor and truth. 1 shall never meet more tr, this world, dear, My dream Jove you slew long ago, When yon shattered the vision (me springtide; She is buried beneath the snow. If n day It should ever dawn, dear. In that land where all can; Is pMt, And wo stood taco to face In the future. As Otero wo stood In the past, It will not bn you that I greet, dear, But my dream that 1 loved long ago. She will rise from tho grave where 1 laid her No matter how deep tho snow '.Mid which I laid her to rest, dear, For tu heaven I will all bo past. And my dream, with her face like yomv, dear, 1 shall know her and find her at last. —Florence Peacock in Chambers' Journal I.oitdon's Severest Winter. The great snow storm, when the Thames was frozen over for nearly four months, occurred in 1683- 81. The frost continued without intermission from December to February, snow coining down almost continuously, so that some parts of tho country were well nigh im passable. To add to the discomfort a bitter east wind blew all tlio time. Ships anxious to enter the port of Lon don were obliged to remain at the month of tho Thames, and tbe crews suffered great privations. Provisions were dear, horses and cattle often died of cold, and scarcely a bird lived through tho winter. The citizens of London, however, re solving on having some profit out of the extraordinary weather, built a regular colony on t lie ice bound Thames. (Shops, taverns, coffee houses, booths for dramatic representation*, printing offices and similar buildings sprang up like magic. This winter was probably the severest ever known in England, though tho following one of 1684-85 was famous for its extreme cold.—London Tit-Bits. Snow Fifty Feet Deep. Tho snowstorm of December, 1836, was the most severe fall known to this country since that of 1719. Tho snow began falling on tho 2-lth and continued over Christmas day into Boxing day. By tiio evening of the latter it had drifted in some places to a dept h of forty and even fifty foot. This snowstorm extended all over the country, and numerous lives were lost in it. Business Wits almost at a standstill, as the mail coaches could not, run and correspond ence was delayed for over a week. In 1842 came another severe snowstorm, during which several mail coaches had to be dug out of the drifts, among them being the noted “Quicksilver,” once famous for its rapid trips. Seven ty men were employed iu releasing this coach from the snow before If could proceed on Ka way.—London Tit-Bits. Tarantula*, The tarantula is found in tire Old Work! as well us in the New. It bc- Itatr.r to tiie hot, dry, sandy plains of Aritunu. and to all similar lands in every part, of the world. A writer in Knowl edge, who lias evidently made a spe cialty of spiders, gossips pleasantly of this most repulsive species. The tarantula is one of the largest, but by no means tho most venomous, spider found in Europe. It. belongs to the mining section of tho family termed wolf spiders. Its body is covered all over wit* down, chiefly of an olive dusky brown color. Tito upper border of the thorax and the outline of the eyes are yellow, and the track of the abdomen is marked with a row of triangular dark spots with whitish edges. Its eight eyes are arranged in three trims v.tog rows, tho front row containing four small eyes, while be hind there are two pairs of larger eyes. The tarantula is common in Spain, southern Franco and Italy, occurring in great numbers round the town of Taranto. It, has been found in Asia ami also in northern Africa, This spi der is to be found in dry places, partly overgrown with grass and fully exposed to the heat of rim sun. living in an underground passage* which it digs for itself, lining it with its web. These passages are round in section mid some times quite an inch in diameter, often extending to the depth of a foot or even more below tho surface. Tim creature is very quick in its movements and eager in the pursuit of its prey. It waits only to kill one vic tim before it darts upon another, ‘and it has been known to allow itself to be carried Into tho air by a large fly that it lms attacked rather than relinquish its in.; i A First IUU Cane.

Nearly fifty years ago I was a two months’ guest ki a London family who prided themselves on their gentility in general, and being a young man who was anxious to ieam I noticed that whenever a single cup of tea sufficed the spoon was placed the near side of the cup in the saucer; if otherwise then the outer side. Not until all the guests had signified their wants did the lady commence to replenish the cups. The five pronged silver plated forks were then coming into use, and were substi tuted for tho knife in conveying food to the month. When 1 returned home with this new table accomplishment, and was dining at a popular suburban hotel one day and using my fork as above, 1 was amused to notice the at tention I created among the lady guests, and the waiter in particular, who supplied me with several knives on the occasion.—Cor. Boston Trans cript. iJUcusftfnn Closed. A Russian gentleman of distinction once dined with Sir Stafford Northeote, at a time when England was supposed to aim at interfering between Russia and Turkey in their disagreement. In tho course of conversation tho Russian became very loud in abuse of England, and Sir Stafford made no response un til his guest exclaimed, “You English are like the pigs winch hunt in dirt for tru files.” “Say rather, monsieur,” remarked Sir Stafford, “tho dogs which drive the pigs away. ’’ During tho rest of tho dinner Eng land's sympathy for Turkey was a for bidden subject.—Exchange. A Very Old Joke. The story lu the "Wit and Mirth” of John Taylor, tho water poet, of the countryman in London who tried to take up a stone to throw at a savage dog, and, finding them ail rammed hard in tile ground, declared that these were strange folks who forfeited the stones and let loose their dogs, was told in the thirteenth century by the illustrious Persian poet, Sa'di. UutHor uf Human Skin. There is said to he a growing demand in Europe for leather made of human skin. Some New York manufacturers of leather goods tried to Introduce it in this country a few years ago, but failed. They sent a pair of boots made of hu man skin to the (Jontuutrial exhibition, but were refused apace for making a display of the ghostly rciioa.—Si. Louis Republic, J.xbd Advertisements.
