PARTED.
Side by side nre we still, though a shadow
Between ns doth fall:
We are parted and yet aro not parted,
Not wholly mul all.
For still you are round and about me.
Almost In my reach,
Though I miss the old, pleasant communion
Of smile and of speech.
And I long to hear whnt you ore seeing,
And whnt you have done.
Since the earth faded out from your vision,
And the heavens begun;
Since you dropped olf the darkening fillet
Of clay from your sight,
And opened your eyes upon glory
Ineffably bright.
Though little my life has accomplished,
My poor hands have wrought,
I have lived what has seemed to he ages
111 feeling and thought,
Since the time when our path grew so narrow,
So near tho unknown,
Thai I turned hack from the following after.
And you went alone
For we speak of you cheerfully, always.
As journeying on;
Not as one who Is dead do wo tunin' you;
We say, you are gone.
For how could we speak of you sadly.
Wo, who watched while the graeo
Of eternity's wonderful beauty
Grew over your face!
Do we call the star lost that is hidden
Ill the great light of morn?
Or fashion u shroud for the young child
In the day It Is bom?
Yet behold this were wise to their folly
Who mourn, sore distressed.
When a soul, that is summoned, believing,
Enters Into Its rest;

One of the funniest runaway match
es—perhaps in this case, it might be
better to describe it as a stay at home
match—is one that took place near
tho Iron mountain. The suitor was so
objectionable to the parents that they
actually locked the young lady in a cel
lar—at a short distance from the house
—which fortunately had soitio small
barred windows, with the ground hol
lowed out around them to give light.
The lover, being a fellow of wit as
well as spirit, secured the services of a,
preacher, and standing outside the cel
lar, the necessary responses wer<\
made and the pair married, she within,
ho without. When all formalities
were got through, he walked boldly in
tiie front door find demanded his wife.
IIo was in his right, so the girl lmd to
he given up to him.—Now York Jour

Th« Drain anil the Iteuil,
Dr. Starr, of London, says it is im
possible to draw any conclusion from
tlio size or shnpo of the head as to the
extent or surface of tho brain, uml so
ns to the mental capacity. It is absurd
to judge of the brain surface by either
tho size of the head or the extent of
the superficial irregular surface which
is covered by tho skull, without taking
into consideration the number of folds
or tiie depth of the creases. "Foe a
little brain with many deep folds may
really, when spread out, have a larger
surface than a largo brain with 'ew
shallow folds.”—Exchange.
A Dog’s Debut In M Fuuiitleroy."
H. S. Hyde’s fine mastiff will prob
ably never forget his debut on the
stage in “Little Lord Fauntlcroy.”
The first tableau culminated in the at
tempt of doggy to carry Fauntleroy
off the stage; in the second the ani
mal made a precipitous exit, but in
the third he had to stay, for he was se
cured to the table leg, upon which was
an oil lamp. This lamp had an eaui-
librium to maintain, and Mr. Hyde’s
coachman was wrapped up in a rug
under tiie table to assist in keeping the
dog actor within bounds.—Springfield

Connecticut ClimiH.
On the shores of Long Island sound
hero nre found tiie most delicious long
clams in the world. Some of them
weigh sixteen and eigliteeen ounces
each, and they are only to ho obtained
during a course of very low tides.
These clams never find their way to
market, not enough being caught to
supply tho home demand. They re
tail at from five to ten cents apiece,
i One peck during a tide is considered a
big catch, and only a few veterun fish
erman know just where to find them.

Slave Colony of Sierra Leone.
A number of slaves, who had claim
ed their freedom in England, were
begging and starving about tho streets
of London, and, after consultation
with some of the men themselves,
Sharp determined to send a number of
them as settlers to the coast of Africa.
In 1786 about 400 negroes were thus
sent out to Sierra Leone, with about
sixty Europeans, chiefly women. A
grant of land was obtained from a
neighboring chief, but from its very
infancy the littlo colony was beset
with humorous difficulties. Disease
broke out on board the ship before tiie
settlers hud even landed and worse
still, most of the Europeans were in
duced by the offer of nigh wages to
lake service with the slave dealers.
Tilings were going from bad to
worso, when Sharp sent out, princi
pally at his own expense, another ship
with supplies for tiie colonists, and lie
subsequently succeeded in forming a
joint stock company for tho purpose of
trading with Sierra Leone. It is in the
course of these transactions that we
first find him corresponding with
William Wilber force, who was after
ward tho champion of tlio slaves in
tiie house of commons. After some
difficulties and delays a government
charter was obtained for the "St.
George’s Bay company,” a- it was
called, and in spite of molestations
from slave dealers and native chiefs,
and a most wanton raid in 1704 from
a French fleet, the colony founded by
Granville fcShurp bus survived, and
flourishes at tiie present day.—Mae

Qualification* of u Joimiullrtt.
The American journalist must ho
spicy, lively and bright. He must
know how not merely to report, hut
to relate in a racy, catching stylo an
accident, a trial, a conflagration, and
he able to make up an article of one or
two columns upon the most insignifi
cant incident. He must he interest
ing, readable. His eyes find ears must
always open, every one of his live
senses on the alert, for he must keep
ahead in this wild race for news, lie
must he a good conversationalist on
most subjects, so as to bring back from
his interviews with different people a
good store of materials. Ho must be
a man of courage, to brave rebuffs
Ho must bo a philosopher, to pocket
abuse. He must be a man of honor,
and. I huvo always found him so.
Whenever 1 have begged an American
reporter to kindly abstain from men
tioning this or that which might have
been said in conversation with him 1
have invariably found tliut bo kept
his word. But if tlio matter is of pub
lic interest he is, before all and nbove
all, tho servant of the public. Bo
never challenge his spirit or enter
prise, or ho will leave no stone un
turned until ho lins found your secret
and exhibited it to tiie public.—Mux

WHAT
Tli« Cyclone Snow Plow.
The cyclone is tiie largest and widest
snow plow yet built for any road,
niukiug a path foul* feet ten inches in
width. Its capacity is something mar
velous. When tho fan and organ are
running at tho rale of BOO revolutions
per minute it will throw out 30,000
cubic feet qf snow per minute. The
car is 48 feet long, the width of tlio
wheel being ten feet four inches.
Within the car aro three engines of
600 horse power each, or a combined
force of 18,000 horse power. Two of
these engines drive tho fan which ex
pels the snow. Tho third one connects
direct with the auger, which draws the
snow into tho cylindrical case in
which tiie fans revolve. Tiie discharge
Ijjpo is thirty-three inches square, the
spimt being fourteen feet above the
rails. This throws tlio snow almost
perpendicular for thirty feet before it
begins to curve in its full, clearing the
telegraph poles with ease. It is pro
vided with tho largest Baldwin loco
motive boiler’forconsolidated engines,
the whole length of the boiler being
28 feet, having 1,500 feet, of heating
surface. It has a twelve foot fire box
and 185 flues two inches by fourteen
feet.—Sacramento Union Record.

who earnestly desire to live cau keep

without it would assuredly die.—New

Piercing tlio Kttnt.
After giving the name, tiie next im
portant ceremonial in an Indian child's
life is that of piercing the ears. This
ceremony is a costly one, for it is tlio
custom to give away a pony for each
hole made in the child’s cars. The
baby is removed from its cradle and
laid down in all its finery, and an old
man in gala dress performs the rite,
and pierces the ears with a sharp
knife. The earrings aro then put in
and the ponies delivered up. It in*not
uncommon to see Indians with several
holes punched in their ears, and each
hole represents a gift of a pony. At
the age of ten or twelve months the
first moccasins arc put on, an occasion
of considerable importance in the life
of a child. About this time the hair is
cut for tiie first time. Among the
Omalias an old man takes a little lock
of hair from the top of the bab
head, which is put away among t
tribal archives. The father then cuts
tiie hair in the symbolic manner,
which is different with different gens

Cost of Living in Hong Kong.
In the last ten years the cost of liv

Rent has increased from 100 to 150
per cent, for Europeans and 100 per
cent, for Chinese houses, servants’
wages have increased 10 to 15 per
cent., imported articles have risen in
proportion to the fall in exchange, tho
cost of medical .attendance has also
doubled, while the decreasing purchas
ing power of the dollar is severely felt
by those who have families to maintain
or educate at home.—London Times.
