GENTLE WORDS. Each gentle word is a thought of love, Which finds its way through the blue above, To light beyond on the pearly strand And give thee joy in the better land. Each gentle word i« a wreath of flower*, Gathered fresh from tlic heart's green bowers, Whose fragrance will reach to the pearly strand To give thee joy in the better land. Eacli gentle word is a harp of gold, Which angels bear to the upper fold ; To play thee a song on the pearly strand To give thee joy in the better land. Kind deeds and words aro tinkling bells, Bounding up from the heart's deep well; Whose chimes will reach the pearly strand. To give thee joy in the better land. Each gentle word is a swift-winged dove, Bridging the way from the heart of love, Over the waves to the pearly strand, To bear thee across to the better land. Each gentle word is a prccions stone, Which God will set in a shining crown, A nd give thee to wear on the pearly strand. When thou hast gained the better land, Muh. P. 8. Lovkjoy. A PASSION FOR TRAVEL. jules verne’s new el ay. “lie Voyage a travi-ro lTmpoigjble,” by Adolphe Denncry mid Jules V. mo, was produced on Friday night at tho Forte St. Martin, follows Paris. The story of flip play is as : George Hattcras, the hero, is possessed with a passion for travel. A friend of the family, the organist Volsius, a divine singer, who is looked upon as almost a supernatural being, his is nnablo to influence him inspita of eloquence and his sup¬ plications. Tho old French dancing tcaclior, Tartelet, a retainer of the Hat terns family, not who is greatly venerated bv George, is spite more successful thai Volsius. In of all their endeavors and all their prayers George is det r minod to depart. lie, therefore, goes to Dr. Ox, who has invented a marvelous elixir, and in company with Eva, his be¬ tclet, trothed; tho Axol_ retainer, Waldemer, and Dr. a Ox Dane himself, ; Tar he desoends into the bowels of the earth through the crater of Vesuvius. They traverse vast and mysterious galleries where they find not a living soul, but there aro numerous indications of tho presence of a people who doubtless con ceal themselves and watch the travelers. George, always ready for adventure, starts on a tour of observation and dis covery. Suddenly is in Waldemer tha utters a cry. He struck bock by a large, curiously shaped stone. Whence comes this projectile? By what unseen hand has it boen thrown? They look on all aides—nothing. pocket,, Waldemer will puts the stone in his it be a souvenir of tho centre of the earth. Meanwhile Tartelet, astonished by the power of the echo in these subterranean regions pro poses to test it and begins to play on his violin from which ho is never sepa- j rated. At the nrst stroke of JiiH bow tho 1 instrument others gives respond forth in the tremendous distance, sounds; fli^n increase as they approach.

Saved find from tho monsters, the soon them selves menaced by the flames. Tho lira mounts up from the centre of the earth. Sparks ruin down upou them; torrents of lava roll about them. Here a very effective ballet of fire spirits is inlra ditoed. George is dazzled, transported. He hud not hoped to see anything so extraordiimr turning y. Nothing the now earth prevents him from re to to live happily with his triumphs. dear Eva. Bu t Dr. Lyden- Ox Broke (Volsius) tells George Hatteras that what, he has seen is nothing in comparison with that which he is still aide to show him. George hesitates, then, pushed on by his fatal passion, decides to prosecute still furlher liis voyage through the Impossible. The first net ends with the return of the ballet and an of fire. The first tableau of the second act rep¬ resents tho port and tho roadstead of Goa, in India. It is thence tho traveler's aro to start on a voyage of 20,000 leagues under tho son, as in the romance which bears thcsnme title. Thevmust embark: then, once in the oiling, plunge into the water in order to reach the Nautilus, n vessel specially constructed for navigat¬ ing the depths of the sea. On arriving at tho quay Waldemer drops the stone which he got iu the centre of the earth. It is picked up by a passer-try, from whom he reclaims it. The newcomer, who is a jeweler, sees that tho stone is a superb rough diamond and wishes to purchase it for the miserable sum of 200 sequins thinking thus to roll Waldeme ■r, who probably dot's not know its ren il value. Waldemer, believing that the stone is worthless, thinks thiit the merchant is mocking him and flies into n rage. The jeweler, likewise mistaken, thinks to np p use Waldemer by offering him a much arg< >r sum. Waldemer becomes furious. Is it not enough ?” cries the jeweler. “I'oyou want tv hundred thousand so quins all control, raises bis Waldeme hand to r, strike losing him. “Mercy 1” cries the jeweler, five falling hundred on his knot's, “I will give you thousand This sequins. makes ” Waldemer reflect.

ITo is now so rieli that he feels sure of tho affections cf Babichoe, a maiden who has refused him her hand. Ho sends a telegram to Denmark. Meanwhile the vessel has departed and without him, bearing Dr. Ox. Eva George Hatteras. A? for Taitelet, he rein aiiis to wait for Waldemer, whose alweneu luts alarmed him. They will re¬ join their companions by walking ou foot on tin' bottom of tho sea.

William F. Cody, professionally conversation known with as “Buffalo Bill,” in a a re porter, expressed the opinion that General Ouster lmd died by his own hand. His story is as follows: In 1871 1 was post guard and scout at Fort Hays, Kan. One evening I was detailed to guide tho General and an es¬ cort from Fort Hays to Fort Lamed, a distance of sixty-five notes. The animal 1 rode was n mouse-colored mule, and the horse that ho always rode was a thoroughbred Kentnc •kv, .-ailed by (lie Indians “Whirlwind. ’ ’ When I rode • up up and was presented to him ho remar ked that I lmd better get'a homo.

After that I showed him a clean pair of heels, and when we arrived at our destination ho acknowledged that I rode a pretty good animal.

The Indians who were iu the fight at Little Bi g ihe Horn say he I shot himself, and from Indian i v I gion I am convinced that they tell the truth.
