World’s Help.
The world is brighter for women fair,
For the tender eyes and the flowing hair,
With its glory rare ;
For the ripe-red lips that can smile and
sing; .
For the touch of grace on each lowliest thin g
Like the breath of spring.
The world is better for women brave,
WVho stand with the Master, strong to save,
By each sin-wrought grave;
Who walk with their tender feet the way
That is weary and rugged, day by day,
For torn soul’s stay.
The werld is nobler for women true,
Who carry the freshness of morning’s dew
At the moon’s high hue;
Who see, with their clear soul vision for
To the glory that shines where no time can
mar,
Like the changclcss star.
The world is stronger for women pure,
Who shine in their sphere, serene and sure
From all false allure ;
Whose snowy palms are not ashamed to fold
Over hands that are rough and stained and
cold,
With a saving hold.

A Little Hotel-Talk.
Ignorance of the law is one of the preroga-
tives of American citizenship, and whoever
writes a book on the law of any subject of
every-day life brings out a great deal of news
though he does nothing but popularize the
old common law. A book on the relations of
host and guest which has lately been pub—
lished, covers the‘ hotel question in a way
that furnishes considerable information,even
_ if the style of the work is disagreeable and
often vulgar.
In the first place, a man is an inn keeper
whether he hangs out a sign no not, if he
makes it his business to entertain travelers
and provide lodgings for them; and if he
keeps an inn, he is bound to receive guests
who apply for lodgings, unless his house is
absolutely full, but he is under no compul—
sion whatever to provide them with the
best rooms in the house. “Reasonable and
proper” accommodation is all they can ex-
pect or at least demand, and he can shift
their rooms daily if he wishes. It makes
no matter if the landlord does not like the
new arrival. He cannot confuse anybody
an accommodation simply on grounds of per-
sonal dislike. But, of course, travelers who
are knowu to be improper persons, who have
contagious diseases, or who are, drunk, can
be excluded. More than that, regard for
those who are under his roof makes it the
law that he must not knowingly admit a
thief to his house, even if he knows his ob-
ject is laudable.
If anybody is refused admission his
course is simple ; he merely brings suit. He
has for his past to prove that the landlord
kept an inn, that he, the plaintiff, was a
traveler, that he applied for accommodation,
that he was a proper person to be received
that there was room for him, and that he was
denied admission. As it takes more than
an evening, however, to bring suit,a person
might still be out in the cold though in the
right, so in some parts of England the con—
stable has the authority to compel landlords
to receive guests. The excuse that one
sometimes receives in the country that
“we’re all gone to bed and there’s nobody
to take care of you” is no excuse in law.
Dandlords are bound to get up at any hour,
unless it be on Sunday in states where some
unrepealed faw forbids travelingon Sundays.
And, by the way, the law considers nobody
a guest who is not a traveler. For instance,
a young man 'who in the town where he lived
went to bed drunk in a hotel and was rob
bed of a watch he had been flourishing in
the bar room there, undertoox to recover
from the landlord but was ruled out of court,
not for being in an unfit state, but because he
was not a traveler.
Nobody arriving at a hotel can be com-
pelled to sign the register. 'The refusal to do
so is not a sufileient cause for rejecting an
applicant for lodgings. The proprietors of
hotels who furnish free transportation to
and from depots to their guests are liable
for their luggage on this transit as much as
when in the house; but any passenger in
one of these coaches, who speaks ill of the
hotel it belongs to, is liable to a suite for
damages. There is no protection from guests,
who eat with their knives. They do not
carry concealed weapons, by any means
and, having knives, they have the right to
use them. That a guest is disagreeable to
his associate guests is not snfiicient excuse
for turning him away. A cabin passenger
on an East India steamer used to reach
across the table to help himself, harpoon
distant delicacies with his fork, and take po-
tatoes with his fingers. The captain turned
him out of the cabin as not fit to be there.
When they landed,the man without manners
recovered damages of $125. The court held
that simply to have bad table manners was
not to lac “gentlemanly principles” or to
commit acts strictly “unbecoming a gentle-
man” in the true sense of the term. If em—
ployes of a hotel use violence to a guest the
landlord is responsible.
If a person wants a room but does not in-
tend to go to bed, as, for instance, if he is
going to sit up all night waiting for an early
train, he can demand a room but he cannot
compel the landlod to give him a bedroom.
It is enough if the landlord turns him into a
comfortable parlor. We might go on and
quote further but consider this a long enough
lson as it is. Travelers who go about the
country with chips on their shoulders will
observe that landlords have certain rights,
and on the other hand, there is now and then
a lesson for the average hotel clerk in the law
as here laid down,

Sounding Niagara River.
PERILOUS ADVENTURE IN TIIE GORGE
u
The canyon of Niagara is far more mys-
terious than the falls themselves. Within
the era of civilization in America no one was
able to successfully pierce through the fierce
and terrible under current to the bottom
until recently the government itself thought
it necessary in behalf of science to under-
take the task. All the great schemes imag-
ined to be strictly scientific were put in
operation by bunglers to obtain the depth of
water beneath the falls. Bars of iron, pails
of stones,and all unreasonable bulky and awk-
ward instruments were attached to long
lines, but positively refused to sink. The
very bulk of the instruments were sufficient
no matter what their weight, to give the
powerful under—current a way to buoy them
up upon the surface or near it. The United
States corps of engineers, however, with a
small lead of only twelve pounds weight at—
tached to a slender rope, or sounding cord,
easily obtained the depths from the falls to
the lower bridge. As your correspondent as-
sisted in the hydrographical operations the
facts may be given as they presented them—
selves.
One day.we launched in a small boat not
far below the falls. and entered on a most
exciting and perilous exploration of the
river. The old guide, long in charge of the
steamboat ferry situated here, accompanied
the party. With great difficulty we ap-
proached within a short distance of the
American falls, which darted great jets of
water on us and far out into the stream.
The roar was s9 terrible that no voice or
human sound, however near we were to one
another could be heard. The leadsman
casts the line, which passed rapidly down
and told off 83 feet. This was quite near
the shore. Passing out of the friendly eddy
which had assisted us up so near the falls
we shot rapidly down stream. The next
cast of the lead told off 100 feet, deepening
to 192 feat at the inclined railway. The
average depth to the Swift Drift, where
the river suddenly becomes narrow with a
velocity too great to be measured, was 153
feet. Just under the lower bridge the
whirlpool rapids set in, and so violently
are the waters moved that they rise like
ocean waves to the height of twenty feet.
At this point your correspondent, at the
time of the survey, computed the depth at
210 feet, which is accepted as approximately
correct.
The terrors of the gorge below this point
are known to but few. Indeed, the foot of
man scarcely ever treads this infernal reg-
ion, where almost perpendicular walls rise
on each side of the verge of the river from
two hundred and seventy to three hundrrd
and sixty feet height. Here the continual
crumbling of the rocks has formed a pre-
cipitous pathway in places on the river’s
edge; elsewhere one must cling to crevices
in the rock, to jutting crags or otherwise
to get along. A party of four of as made
a survey of the interior of this canyon from
Lewiston to Suspension bridge. With great
difficulty we clambered along. It wasa
fearful yet exciting exploration. At times
the river would rise suddenly some ten or
fifteen feet as if a great dam above had
broken, causing a hasty retreat of the parties
up the sides of the canyon. From points
above, rocks and bushes frequently fell,
causing lively apprehensions, and to add to
the catalogue of embarrasments an occas—
ional rattlesnake attempted to retard our
progress, and one of them was killed and
his rattles preserved in commemoration of
the event. ' Getting into the canyon at Lew-
one’s way out was another thing.
Nearly a. mile below Deveaux College,
which is situated half a mile north of Sus-
pension bridge, the possibility of making our
way along the river's edge ceased. Night
was just approaching, and it was a day’s
hard work, nearly, to make Lewiston.
Above the rocks towered nearly 300 feet.
We had the alternative of remaining in this
abode of terror over night and returning to
Lewiston the following day, or fighting an
almost impossible passage to the steps lead-
ing down from the college. We determined
to accept the latter. - After an hour's climb
we made our way to within 100 feet of the
top, where just a narrow ridge formed by
the crumbled debris seemed to extend. We
followed this perhaps a half-mile, when it
came to an abrupt termination. Several rods
beyond was a broad pathway leading up to
the college, but in the interval only the bare
walls of rock, almost perpendicular from the
top to the rushing water, 270 feet below ,
met the despairing gaze of our party. Just
above Our heads was a crevice in the rocks
which seemed to cross the intervening space.
With almost certain doom staring us in the
face we determined to try to cross by stand—
ing tiptoe in the crevice and clinging to the
juttings of the rocks. The various imple—
ments of the party were divided up, a heavy
theodolite failing to your correspondent,
which was strapped on his back. The tallest
clambered up the crevice first, the others as-
sisting and following, and the writer getting
up t.
Then began a perilous struggle to reach
the pathway beyond. All arrived there
safely when your correspondent, with the
heavy burden on his back was about mid-
way across. Herea sharp rock just at the
height of the breast impeded the way. In
attempting to get around this the boot failed
to find a resting place. The heavy instru-
ment was pulling me off my balance. The
fingers were losing their slender hold; two
hundred feet above was the calm,safe world ;
one hundred and seventy feet below the
roaring water. One foot slipped off and
was going down, down; a mist came over
his eyes, when my foot caught on a slender
gooseberry bush and a hand suddenly grasp-
ed my back and drew me around to a safe
standing place. In a moment more the
pathway was reached and the safety of all
ensured, but never will the frightful scene.

Compressed Air.
The Pneumatic Tramway company con—
tinue their experiments with their motors on
the tracks of the Second Avenue surface
read, and recently a special’trial of one of
the motors was made in the presence of Presi-
dent John Green of the Grand street and 42d
street road, president J. W. Foshay of the
Broadway and Seventh Avenue road, C. E.

mond, Va.; F. Henriques, president of the

The freely expressed opinion of these author-
ities was that in large cities horses must soon
give place to some other cheaper and swifter
motor. It is only a question of a little ne-
cessary time to decide what that motor shall
be. Two important improvements have re-
cently been made by the Tramway company;
one to the machinery of the car motor and
the other to the charging apparatus in the
company’s building at Second avenue and
one Hundred and Twenty-seventh street.
cars, are run by compressed air,whieh before
starting is forced into six reservoirs under-
neath the floor of the car. Heretofore the
compressed air was admitted directly into the
cylinder in which work the piston rods
which turn the driving wheels, but now
there has been placed on the front platform,
where the engineer sits, a five cubic foot teak
tank which is filled with water heated up to
300 degrees Fahrenheit or more. The com.
pressed air is conducted from the reservoirs
into this water and allowed to bubble through
it on its way to the cylinders where it does
its work. Cold compressed air has been
heretofore used on the motors, but it can
readily be seen that the heat which is added
will increase the pressure of the air. Thus
all the air which is taken from the reservoirs
is made capable of doing more work when it
gets, into the cylinder than it was before, and
it is asserted by the Tramway company that
the additional apparatus very nearly doubles
the running capacity of a single charge.
The other improvement is a large cylindrical
reservoir for compressed air which has been
put in the company’s building where the
motors are charged. The motor is now
charged in three minutes, whereas it took
seven minutes to charge them before this
reservoir was used.
The motor was charged this morning with
a pressure of 350 pounds to the square inch.
It carried twenty one passengers from One
Hundred and Twenty—seventh street down
to the Ninety-seventh street car stables and
back, over a dirty, wet surface track which
is in very bad condition, and had a pressure
of 215 pounds left. The distance is three and
one—fifth miles. An elevated train was
beaten going down, and a number of quick
stops and starts were made going up. Presi-
dent Thorn was asked if the Second Avenue
company had decided to adopt the motor.
He answered: “Welook upon it very favor-
ably. All our questions have been satisfac-
torily answered by the experiments of the
Tramway company, except one. They have
not run the motor for enough yet. The
questions of time, noise,starting and stopping
have been answered. It would cost more to
buy the motors than it does to buy horses,
but the saving in running expenses doubtless
would be great. If they succeed in running
a motor down to Peck Slip and back with a
single charge and do it every day for a
month, that would be a conclusive experi—
ment.”
vineed that this motor would save thirty-five
per centum of the running expenses of a
surface road. The people living along Second
avenue take the motors which constantly run
on the upper part of the road in preference
to the horse cars. In a week or two the
Tramway company will attempt to run a
motor which they say can pull two short cars
from one end of - the road to the other.—New

Rink Religion.
A religious service in a church is a scemly
land deeorous thing; but a religious service
in a rink or a circus-tent is something out
of the common; there is a pleasing incon—
gruity about it which to many persons is
highly amusing. Wit, the philosopher say,
consists in putting thoughts into unexpected
relations; and the effect of holding a re-
ligious service in a place that is not at all
appropriate to it has upon many minds the
effect of wit. They attend such ‘a service
for the same reason that they go to see the
five—legged calf or the two-headed nightin—
gale. -
worshippers of the incongruous, but also by
that large class of persons who have been
happily described as “the camp stool con—
gregation”—-those who always go where
the newest sensation is, and who are never
truly happy except when they _are in a
crowd.
Of these two classes there are enough in
any considerate community to crowd the
largest assembly room that can be found in
the neighborhood. And when the crowd is
gathered it is easy to stir up a considerable
amount of feeling. . The persons who com--
pose such an auditory are generally excite—
able; the lively music, the vigorous and pa»
thetic appeals of the preachers readily af—
fect them and we often seem to see large
numbers of them entering upon the religious
life.
Such services, however, come to an end
before many weeks and then these new dis-
ciples find themselves suddenly set adrift.
Like Daniel Webster on a famous occasion
they cry out in distress, “Where are we to
go ?” All their religious experience, has
been connected witlnhe rink or-the taber-
nacle; when that is closed they are not
drawn in any other direction. The influence
of locality upon the religious life is a great
deal stronger than some persons think; the
place where prayer is wont to be made is
the place to which those who have learned
to pray, love to betakc themselves; the less
cultivated the worshipper is, the less inclined
is he to worship in a strange place; the more
he is dependent for his religious enjoyment
upon local associations. Though the churches
all open their doors for those converts of the
rink, very many of them will fail to enter
the churches; or, if they do go a few times,
all the surroundings are strange to them and
they soon cease to appear in the places
where they would be welcome.
It is true that Mr. Moody always does his
best to induce his converts to connect them-
selves with the churches, and some of them
do so; but,'after all, the great majority of
the persons who unite with the churches as
the result of his meetings are those who
were regular worshippers in the churches
before he came; while most of those outside
the churches who have been interested in
his meetings either abandon their religion
when the rink is closed, or else, if they join
the churches, run well for a very short sea-
son, and soon fall out by the way.-—Sunday

The King’s Last Courtship.
A SHORT, SHARP, AND DECISIVE CAMPAIGN.
The pretty French watering place on the
Bay of Biscay, where the King of Spain and
hte Austrian Archduchess Christina have
been passing their brief courtship, is one of
the most picturesque and thriving towns
along the Atlantic coast. The villa where
the king stayed is a small, unassuming resi-
dence nestling in the quietude of the pine
forest behind the town. According to a cor-
respondent of Truth. Alfonso and the
archduchess were companions at the time
when he was studying at Theresa college, in
Vienna, and the young lady, a wilful, frolic-
some damsel, fell in love with him, and was
subsequently much piqued when she found
that Mercedes was the king’s sweetheart.
So, when a short time ago Alfonso proposed
for her, she tossed her head and replied :-“If
he wants to win me, let him come and woo
me. lt is his place to court me, and not mine
to go and pick up the handkerchief which he
condescends to throw down.” And he would
have done so, being the soul of chivalry, but
the death of the Infants Pilot, and the acci-
dent at La Granja, where the kings severely
sprained his wrist,obligcd him to give up the
trip to Vienna, and the archduchess re-
lent ed.
According to the same authority Chris—
tina, who is very romantic as well as wilful,
wanted to he courted like the heroine of an
old-fashioned novel. She proposed that the
first interview should take place in the
Casino, and be ostensibly a chance meeting.
It did not dissuade her when she was in-
formed that no subscriber could be excluded
for her convenience and that many of the
ladies subscribing were of lo monde comma fl
n’en faut pas. Alfonso put an end to the
difficulty,she.had raised by, the moment he
had had time to dress after his journey,
hastening to the Villa Bellegarde to pay a
visit. He represented himself as being in too
great haste to see the object of his affections
not to in this instance disregard her will.
In making her this assumes be bent low
over her hand and kissed it. This handsome
behavior dissipated all reserve and pique.
It was dusk. The king proposed a turn, in
the garden. The archduchess consented,
and her step-mother and all the Austrian
and Spanish courier,as has been, no doubt,
agreed beforehand among them, remained
in the drawing room. The dehghts of love’s
young dream the king enjoyed again, amid
artificial bloom and aromatic shrubberies. He
and {his ,imorata was seen walking hand in
hand. A tender speech, doubtless, was
made, and a corresponding answer returned.
When the happy pair re-entered the villa
Christina, who had an engaged ring on her
finger, led the monarch to her step4mother,
whom she thus addressed in French: “I
have the honor, madame, to present to you
my future husband.” Alfonso gallantly
kissed the hand of the Archduchess Charles
who, he hoped, would accept from him
the duty of ason. He then took his leave.
As to the appearance of the archuchess, a
French lady describes her as “d’une taillc
assez jello, lee chewaus chatains, et portant
sur so figure lea tram d‘une Mule intelli-
gence.” She is amiable and an excellent
linguist, speaking French, Italian and En;
lish and is now rapidly learning the lan-
guage of the people over whom it is hoped
she may regn for many happy years.

The Longest Beard in the World.
A MICHIGAN MAN WITH WHISKERS SEVEN AND
ONE-HALF FEET IN LENGTH.
' A correspondent of the Detroit Post and
Tribune, writes from Adrian, Mich., of a
certain Edwin Smith, who is the possessor
ofaremarkable beard. The correspondent,
says:
“Ordinarly Mr. Smith and his beard would
not attract especial attention. He does not
let it sway at its own free will at all times,
but keeps it tied in a compact bunch under
his chin, holding it fast with threads and
hair-pins. When thus ‘done up’ it does
not appear to be of unusual length unless
the observation is close. Se while it has
come to be generally known in the vicinity
of Mr. Smith’s residence that this beard is
unusually long, but few people have seen
it in all its enormous length, except as here-
inafter stated. He is 47 years of age. He
is about 6 feet high and weighs 145 pounds.
His hair and beard are sandy and tinged
with gray. He has a pale face, blue eyes a
high forehead, and an intelligent and pleasant
appearance. At 13 years of age he began
to raise a beard. and while yet a young
school-boy was possessed of alight silken
covering to face and neck, rivaling in length
that of many of his seni'ors. But he became
These places are haunted not only by tired of this, and shaved almost daily for '
several years, keeping his face smooth and
beardlcss. He continued to attend school in
what used to be known as the Sherman
District, Huron County. The growth of his
beard was not, however, sufficiently rapid
to attract any especial notice. In 1858 he
came to Michigan, where he married. His
health from boyhood has not been of the
best, billions and lung troubles being most
common. In 1861 his health failed, and
he went to California in, the hope of regain-
ing it.
“It was the fashion among miners of those
days to allow their beards to grow. It was
agreed among several of them, Mr. Smith
among the number, that they would allow
their heard to grow for six months, and see
which could at the end of thattime boast
of the longest. Mr. Smith outstripped all
rivals, and allowed :his beard to grow
from then on. The nature of the miners’
work made it convenient to tie or fasten the
beard under the chin. In this way Mr.
Smith first became accustomed to wearing
it long, with thejsnperfiuous length tied up.
out of the way. ‘And now,’ said be, ‘you
see what it has grown to.’ And as your
correSpondent looked from the smiling face
of the man, and then turned to go on a
search for the other end of the beard, he
thought of the story of the steeple which
was so tail that you had to look twice to
see the top of it. There could be no mis-
take about it. Each individual hair stretched
its silken, wavy length from face to floor.
"Now I will show you how long it is,’ said
Mr. Smith, and he stepped upon achair
and stood erect. Still its length was so great
that the foot could be placed on the ends,
which touched the floor. ' The beard has
been carefully trimmed, so that it is‘of even
weight and size to the very end. Unrolling
a little paper which was laid away in a
drawer, he said, ‘That’s its length last win-
ter,’ and unwound a seemingly endless hair.
When measured it was found to be 7 feet 4
inches long. ‘Now we will measure the
heard as it is to-day, said he, and looked for
the yard-stick. Seven feet six inches and a
half was the length.”
If you have no enemies you may be sure
you are not of much account. _
The application of this anecdote is_ not
quite universal. . e said, “Yes, she is an
odd young lady; indeed. I think her ex—

tered DeKalb on the evening of April 28th,
1877. It was largely increased on the fol.—
lowing morning. Sinclair, then sheriff, ar-
rested her husband on the morning of the
29th. He asked to be placed under guard at
his own house and besought an instant in-
vestigation of the charges against him.
Armed men kept coming around the house.
The sheriff (Sinclair) conversed with them
and then talked to Chisholm. Chisholm
told one of the crowd, “You cowardly
scoundrels, you will kill me before evening,
but before you do it I wilhmgke some of you
bite the dust." Sinclair came‘ to my husband
about 11 o’clock, and said. “They MY you
must goito jail." McLellan, myself,my sons
Clay, Johnnie and Willie and daughter Cor-
nelia accompanied my husband to the jail.
We were clinging to him to shield his body.
Mr. Mosely and Mr. Overstreet went inside
the jail with the party and the door of the
lower floor of the jail was locked behind
them. The. familyxwent up stairs and'the
door was locked on the inside. I was sent
home by my husband on an errand. Heard
firing as I came back toward’the jail and saw
the old man McLellan fall piercedby several
buckshot, behind the jail. Rushed inside
the jail and found the stairway crowded with
men. Rosser was at the top of the stairs
and William Gully trying to break the lock
of the upper door with axes. My daughter
Cornelia, my son Johnnie and Mr. Overstreet
were holding the door on the inside. My
daughter’s face was bleeding. Rosser said to
my daughter: “Damn your soul, I will blow
your brains out if you don’t get out of the
way.” Rosser fired the first shot through
the broken lock which severed my son’s hand
from his arm. The door was here broken
open and my little boy fell shot through the
heart. Some one inside fired and‘Rosser fell
dead. Two men caught him by the heels
and dragged him down stairs. My husband
was bewildered at the death of Johnnie. I
stairs. Cornelia and her father came down
the stairs. Henry. J. Gully came up and
raised his gun. I closed the grated door at
the bottom of the stairway. Myz'danghter
clasped my husband around the neck. Gully
fired through the grates in the door.
My daughter screamed, “I am shot.” Judge
Chisholm opened the door and as he stepped
. Gully came out of an adjoining room
and fired again at him and he fell. Clay and
I assisted my husband in reaching home.
My daughter was bleeding in the face, her
the 15th of May. She died from the effects
of her wounds. -Mrs. Chisholm produced
Cornelia's bracelet, which was broken and
driven into her arm, also five buckshot taken
out of her body. '
Cross examined—She begged Rosser by
the good God that made. binathemother who
bore him, and the wife whom beloved, to be
satisfied with the blood of Gilmer and Me
Leilan. He replied that John Gully had a
wife and he would shoot any woman who
stood between himself and Chisholm. The
defense asked the question—Did she not
know that Cornelia died from the eflect of an
operation, etc. The witness said that she did
not. In relating the scene connectedpwith the
death of her son Johnnie, Mrs. Chisholm
fainted. When asked if Sheriff Sinclair was
not overpowered by the mob, she said she
couldn’t tell whether thesherifi commanded
the mob, or the mob commanded the sheriff.
of her leg and two of the bones of her arm
were broken by buckshot and that she was
wounded in the face by some blunt instru—
ment, and that no treatment could have saved
her life.
Charles Rosenbaum testified that he came
to town with Gilmcr in the custody of Depu-
ty Sheriff Britten, followed to town by eight
armed men—saw many others in town with
guns. As we walked toward the jail saw
Virgil Gully shoot Gilmer in the back. Gil—
mer hollered “0h Lordy, I’m killed,” and
ran down an alley where he was followed and
dispatched by the shot gun of Virgil Gully.
Rosenbaum corroborated the statement of
Mrs. Chisholm as to the scenes in the jail.
At the alarm of fire witness ran out of the
jail and did not see the shooting of Judge
Chisholm and his daughter.
”
The very earliesP importation of English
thoroughbrcds into America is a matter of
doubt. Mr. Wallace, in his first volume of
his “American stud-book” (new edition)
says that something like 160 horses and 40
mares were imported before the year 1800
or thereabouts, about ninety of the lot hav-
ing come in before the revolution. Of these
latter, more than half the horses and some
eight or nine mares went to Virginia, some
to Maryland, and some to New York. The
most valued of the early importations was
Fearnaught, by Regulus. out of Silvertail,
who was imported in 1764, and died in 1776.
Traveler, by ’Croft’s‘rtner, imported into
Virginia in 1723, was also a great horse,
and to these sires are to be added Othello,
imported about 1755; Jolly Roger, (known
in England as Roger of the Vale,) imported
some time between 1741, the data of his
death; Medley, imported 1784. Messenger
by Mambrino, the father of trotters; and
Wild Air, by Code, imported into New
York about 1767, together 'with the Cub
mare, ancestress of the now celebrated Pa-
role.‘ But, on account of his great value at
the stud Wild Air was taken to England.
0f England’s early Derby winners we
brought over Diamond the first of them all ;
Saltram, by Eclipse, winner in 1872; John
Bull, by Fortitude, winner in 1792 ; Spread
Eagle, winner in 1795; Sir Harry, in 1798 ;
Archduke, in 1799; and we afterward im—
ported Lapdog, Priam, and St. Giles, the
winner in 2826, 1830 and 1832, We have
never done much with Oaks winners; and
the case of Phenomenon, winner of the St.
Leger in 1798, who died at New York im-
mediately on landing, in 1798, seems to
have kept us away from St. Leger winners
until the days of Barefoot, Rowton,’ and
Ear-grave. In 1836, Mr. James Jackson
imported into Alabama 9. horse which prov-
ed to be one of the best the world has
produced. This was Glencoe, winner of the
two thousand guineas in 1834, and ancestor
of Parole '

An eminent physician in England has re‘
cently published a work on longevity, in
which, after showing what has.often been,
shown before, that the average life of man
has been somewhat extended during the past
century, he gives many reasons for thinking
that this is but the beginning of a decided
prolongation in human existence, and that
in no remote future it may be as common to
hear of men living to a period between
eighty and ninety years of age as in the past
it has been to have them reach the limit of
three score years and ten.

“o Patience, Restless Spirit"
0 time, dull time go faster,
I have not found my rest;
I am not with my Master
Unsanctioned, unblzeb.
I roam in sin and error,
In grief and pain I roam;
I mourn, I am in terror,
My heart is not at home.
0 patience, restless spirit,
Resist nor repine;
My peace thou shalt inherit,
The promises are thine.
If thou with sin and weakness
Nor more wilt walk below,
Have patience and learn meekness,
And thou shalt be let go.

.“Do their errands - enter into the sacrifi
With them; be a link yourself in the diviILII;
chain, and feel the joy and life of it. "
What can I do for thee, Beloved,
Whose feet so little while ago
Trod the same way-side dust with mine,
And now up the paths I do not know
Speed, without sound or sign ?
What can I do P The perfect life
All fresh and fair and beautiful
Has opened its wide arms to thee;
The cup is over-brimmed and full;
Nothing remains for me.
I used to do so many things;
Love thee and chide thee and caress;
Brush little straws from off thy way,
Tampering with my poor tenderness
The heat of thy shortjday.
Not much, but very sweet to give;
Andlis it grief of griefs to bear
That all these ministries are o'er.
And thou, so happy, Love, elsewhere,
Does need me never more :—
‘And I can do for thee but this : -
(Working on blindly, knowing not
If I may give thee pleasure so)
Out of my own dull, shadowed lot
I can rise, and go
To sadder lives and darker homes,
A messenger, dear heart, from thee
Who wast on earth a comforter ;
And say to those who welcome me,
I am sent forth by her;
Feeling the while how good it is
To do thy errands thus, and think
It may be, in the blue, far space,
Thou watchest from the heaven’s brink—
A smile upon thy face.
And when the day’s workends with day,
And star«eyed evening, stealing in,
Waves her cold hand to flying noon,
And restless, surging thoughts begin,
Like sad bells out of tune.
I’ll pray: “Dear Lord, to whose great love
Nor bound, nor limit-line is set,
Give to my darling, I implore.
Some new sweet joy not tasted yet,
ForI can give no more.”
And, with the words my thoughts shall climb
With following feet the heavenly stair
Up which thy steps so lately sped,—
And seeing thee so happy there, '
Come back half comforted.
The Story of the Tiles.
Before a quaint old fire place
Full fifty years ago,
Dear grandma and I, a child,
With locks of gold and snow,
Looked, our two heads together,—
She sitting in her chair
And I erect beside her,—
A comfortable pair.
For while within the fire light our eyes were
lit with smiles,
She tplld her little grandson the story of the
t' es. '
Here was a knight in armor,
A brave old lord was he!
He won full toilsomc battles
In many a far countree;
And here, his lute, with ribbons
Trimmed bravely, fond and true,-
Beneath his lady’s casement.
Sang a troubadour in blue.
Now with pure fact or fancy dear grandma
time beguilcs, ’
Now fairy lore she weavtth in her stories of
the tiles.
The stork with leg uplifted ;
The windmill on the plain;
The sun with rays of azure ;
The 'sheaf of ripened grain,
Were each a theme for story,
For song or comic verse,
And merrily and often
Did grandma these rehearse!
For quips and quirks were grandma’s, and
cranks and wanton wiles,
When once she got a telling her stories of the
tiles.
The fireplace stands unshaken ;
The milkmaid trips so gay,
To meet the fat old beadle,
Who always looks her way;
The frog who went a—wooing
Still peeps out at the crane,
But grandma withher stories
Will never come again.
From that old English fireplace I’ve wander-
ed many miles, '
But still my heart remembers the stories of
the tiles. ' '
Like the old knight in armor
Brave must I be, she said,
And courteous as the singer
To every wife and maid ;
Industrious and cheerful
As the milkmaid ;
And prayerful and religious
As the beadle ought to be.
Alas! such spotless record how many a fault
defilesl .
I’ve proved a sorry hero for her story of the
tiles.
But still when night is falling,
And children’s voices call
Across the pleasant play room
And down the echoing hall,
I find myself while waiting
To catch them in my arms,
Thinking the stories ever
With all their varied charms;
And then, when grouped around me, their
lips are wreathed with smiles,
I tell their great grandmother’s sweet stories
of the tiles. [Golden Age.

When the Zulus rushed in on the small
British detachment of Colonel Wood; and
while there was yet an open road in one di-
rection, Colonel Weatherly, an English cav-
alry ofiicer, placed his son, a boy of thirteen,
who was with him, on horseback, kissed
him, and told him to fly for his life. ‘ The lad.
jumped from the saddle, striking the horse
a lash which sent it galloping off, and said :
“Father, I'll die with you." The father
handed his revolver to the child just as the
Zulus reached, over British bodies, the spot
where they stood. Weatherly slew five
Zulus before he fell, but the son was killed
at once.
