THERE ARE.
Beautiful words never spoken.
Whispers of cheer that might save
Hearts drifting, weary and broken,
Down to the night of the grave.
Silence more deadly than passion.
Glances that slander can send,
Fram’d in the world’s deviiish fashion.
To murder the heart of a friend.
Looks, spotless virtue impeaching.
Souls lying crush’d on the plain.
With tear frozen eyelids beseeching
The touch of love’s sunlight again.
Burdens to bear for the weaker,
Jewels to dig from God’s mine;
And gems, fairer still, to the seeker
In the angels’ tiara that shine.
Within us the soul’s silent treasure
Waiting the kiss of the light;
Sweet scented blossoms of pleasure
Our fingers may cull from the night.
Fruit shining ripe on toil’s mountains.
Pearls that sleep under life’s sea;
Music in God’s laughing fountains
Undream’d of by you or by me.
Larks singing down in love’s meadow.
Throstles that pipe by the hill;
Out of time’s darkness and shadow,
Whispefs that comfort and thrill.
Voices within ever singing.
Melody soften’d by tears.
The phoenix of hope at last springing
Serene from the ashes of years.

Greeley Before tlie Ciimen.
Horace Greeley dreaded the camera
more than any man I ever sa w. He was
brought to my studio by Whitelaw Reid
and Sam Sinclair, famous in his day as
one of the great workers on The Tribune.
The great editor had just been nomi¬
nated for the presidency of the United
States. He came into my studio with an
armful of papers, threw himself care¬
lessly in the chair, adjusted his glasses,
turned to the editorial page of The Trib¬
une, began reading one of his own ar¬
ticles, and, without raising his eyes to
me, said, “Fire away!” He had a great
armful of papers, which he threw on tlie
floor at his feet. When I was ready to
take the picture I posed him properly
and made a very good impression. I
took him in several positions, and I no¬
ticed that every time there was a mo¬
ment’s delay with the camera he picked
up his papers and began reading with
avidity.
At the same time I took a group por¬
trait of Greeley, with Whitelaw Reid on
one side and Sinclair on the other. I
doubt if any of those pictures are in ex¬
istence. But the photograph then made
at the first sitting of Greeley alone is the
one generally accepted as the best like¬
ness. 1 have in my possession a letter
from him acknowledging the receipt of
the pictures—at least I suppose that i3
what it does, for it has taxed the ability
of experts in chirography to decipher it.
I regard it, however, as a pleasant me¬
mento of the great journalist and states¬
man.—A. Eogardus in Ladies’ Home
Journal.
The Prince of Wales’ Debts.
The exact financial position of the
Prince of Wales is not known. There
have been rumors that he is greatly in
debt, but I question their correctness.
When the prince came of age he became
possessed of the accumulations realized
during his minority from the Duchy of
Cornwall. A portion of them was ex¬
pended in the purchase of the Sandring¬
ham estate, and the remainder became
his. With this nest egg, with an income
of £110,600 pounds per annum, one of
£10,000 for his wife, a separate provision
for his children, and with Marlborough
House kept up for him at the public cost
there seems no reason why his expend¬
iture should outrun his means. His hos¬
pitalities are not greater than those of
the French president, w’ho, with less
than half his income, does not get into
debt.—Henry Labouchere in Forum.
An Approach to Aerial Navigation.
Of course I hope to succeed, and from
the data obtained from experiments, and
from the information I have obtained
from other sources, it seems almost cer¬
tain that I shall do so. Still I may not.
It may, howeyer, be remarked that for
many years engineers and scientists have
admitted that the navigation of the air
is certain to come so soon as a motor
could be discovered which had sufficient
energy in proportion to its weight.
This motor has been found, its power
has been tested and its weight is known.
It would therefore appear that we are
within measurable distance of a success¬
ful machine for navigating tbe air, and
I believe it is certain to come within the
next ten years, whether I succeed or not.

Bones’ Duck.
Bones was a shaggy, tat skye terrier
with a snort tail. Just why these scrub¬
by looking skye terriers always find lux¬
urious homes and fond admirers I don’t
know, but they seem to do it. Bones
was no exception. He was the house¬
hold pet. Every member of the family
cuddled and kissed him, and lie returned
their affection with equal ardor.
When any one came heme after a short
absence, Bones showed extravagant de¬
light, and his demonstrations were
usually rewarded with candy or cake.
He had a trick of catching up any
small object which came handy, and
bringing it to lay at the returned one’s
feet, as if to display the generosity of
his heart
Sometimes he overshot the mark like
the rest of us.
One day the lady of the house returned,
and Bones, dashing out to find some
token of affection to present her, fell
over three unfortunate little ducks walk¬
ing primly behind their mamma. He
caught one up in his mouth and with
joyful haste rushed back to the parlor.
Poor duck I Poor Bones! The duck
struggled. Bones took a firmer grip.
The duck struggled harder. Bones gave
s hurried gulp, and, to his own dismay
as well as to the duck’s, the duck went
down Bones’ throat and never came up
again.
The shout of laughter which greeted
his exploit was too much for Bones. He
ran out faster than he came in. His
stomach and his conscience both trou¬
bled him for long after. It was only
necessary to say, “Duck, Bones!” to see
him slink away with the funniest ex¬
pression of doggish shame, caused by
the remembrance of his unintentional
dinner.—Harper’s Young People.
Oriental Students in London.
The superior orientals in London are
almost exclusively from India, except
such as represent diplomacy; and they
include two classes—men of business and
students. The former are few, but rep¬
resent very large commercial interests.
The latter number about 200. They
have their headquarters at the North¬
brook club in Whitehall Gardens, of
which the majority are members. The
practice of sending young Indians to
study in England is increasing. They
come from all parts of India arid include
Mahommedans, Flindoos and Parsees.
The luxury of a European education is
not to be had for nothing, and as a mat¬
ter of course only men of means can in¬
dulge in it.
These young fellows are, as a rule, ex¬
tremely intelligent, with charming man¬
ners, and they speak English admirably
—far better than most European for¬
eigners who have lived for many years in
England. They study law and medicine
in London; but some go to Cooper’s Hill
for the engineering service and others to
Cirencester for agriculture. The English
universities, and Edinburgh also, have
their contingent. In nearly all cases
they go hack to practice in India, but of
late a tendency to settle here has been
visible. The only other eastern country
which occasionally sends us a similar
class is Japan.—St. James’ Budget.
The Value of a Racehorse.
The sum of £15,000 paid by Mr. Blun¬
dell Maple to Lord Alington and Sir F.
Johnstone as the purchase money of
Common is the highest price ever paid in
England for a horse. It is commonly re¬
ported that the Duke of Westminster
received a larger sum for Ormonde from
South America, though £12,000 was prob¬
ably nearer the price. Moreover, Signor
Ginistrelli was offered £20,000 for Sig
norina, and the Duke of Portland a still
higher price for Donovan, but in these
cases the offers were refused.
When the Duke of Westminster paid
£14,000 for Doncaster—the highest price
given in England for a race horse before
Common was sold—people were almost
shocked at his temerity and extrava¬
gance, and yet it has been calculated
that the duke made a net profit of £160,
000 out of the transaction.
Sires of known merit such as St.
Simon, Hermit and Isonomy are gold
mines to their fortunate owners, and in
these days of excessive turf competition
a horse tvho has run well but has j T et a
reputation to make at the stud will bring
in thousands before he has proved either
a success or a failure.—London Tit-Bits.
His Protest was Effective.
A citizen of Paris, Ky., who was fined
seven dollars for allowing his own cat on
his own premises to kill his own chick¬
ens, protested so vehemently against
this interference with a man’s enjoy
ment of an inalienable right that the
judge, per force, remitted the penalty,
