If every earnest act of mine Tts guerdon might have won, «!slf thou wert iu the sombre shade, *w

If I were in the sun, How gladly would I take thy hand To lead thee to the light, And striveto make thy futnro path .Korever fair aud bright. If I had troops of friends, and thou

Wfre lonely in the world, If I were on the rosy high is While round thee mists were ourled, Then fondly would I search for thee!

Thy steps no more should roam. If I might kiss thee, lift thee up. And greet thee queen of home.

[f I were worth the world's acclaim, I'd turn a*ide to hear M.v praise from thy melodioujj voice,

To win thy listening ear.

Mo

1 might see perpetually The gTory of thy face. And thou might'st freely bring to me

Tby gentleness and grace.

But ah, I dream an idle dream While sitting by thy side My feet must tread a desert track:

For thee the world is wide. The vision that illumes my heait When I bt-hold thee nigh, Is dUtaut far as moon or star

When we have said good bye.'

Vr*

.And thou wilt go thy radiant way, And I will murmur not, Nor care to think how brief the time

Kre I shall be forgot. Bat where.voe'er I am, to thoughts Of thee my cheek shall thrill, Tlje benediction of thy smile £hall rest upon me still.

MARK TWAIN ON HIS TRA VELS.

I got into the cars and took a seat in justaposition to a female. That female's lace was a perfect insurance company for her—it insured her ag.iinst ever getting married to anybody except a blind man. Her mouth looked like a crack in a dried lemon, and there was 110 more expression to her lace than there is in a spinal column of cold custard. She appeared as if she had been through ono famine and hud got about two-thirds through another. She was old enough to bo a grandmother to Mary that had the little lamb. She was chewing a box of prize pop corn, and carried in her hand a yellow rose, while a band box and a cotton umbrella nestled sweetly by her side, wouldn't guess whether she was on a mission of charity, or going west to start a saw mill. I was full of curiosity to hear her speak, so I said

The exigencies of time require gre it circumspection in a person who is travelling."

Said she, "What?" M-tid I, "The orb of day shines re splendent in the blue vault above."

She hitched around uneasy like, then she raised her umbrella and said, "I ion't want any of your sass—git out," and I got out.

Then I took a seat alongside of a hale fellow who looked like the ghost of llamlet lengtheuei out, he was a stately cuss, and he was reading.

Said I. "Mister did you ever see a camel leopard?" I said camel leopard because it is a pious animal, and never oats any grass without getting down on its knees. Ho said he hadn't seen a •c unel leopard. Then said I, "Do you chew lie said "No sir."

Then I said, "How sweet is nature lie took this for a conundrum, and said he didn't know." Then ho said he was deeply interested in tho history of a great man. "Alas!" he exclaimed, "we are but few."

I told him I knew but one "tho man that made my «ooking stove was a grate man."

Then he ask trie would Tread •S ivs I, "what vou got?" lie replied, "^Vutts Ilvmns," "Reverics by Moonlight," "llow to spend the Sibbuth."

I said, "Mono of them for llmnah," but it he It id got an unabridged Business Directory of Now York city I would take a little read.

Tuen he dd, "Young tnan, look at those gray hairs." I ioil him I saw them, and when a man got as old as ho was he ought to dye. S dd I, "You needn't think these hairs are any sign of wisdom it's only a sign that your system lacks iron and advise you to go home and wwullow a crowbar."

Ila took this for Irony, and what littlo entente cordiale there was between UH was spiled. It turned out that he WAN champlaln of a base ball club.

When we got to Rochester I callod for a bowl of bean soup. I send you the receipt for making it: "Tako a lot of water, wash it well, boil it until it ia brown on loth sides then very wirefully pour one bean into it and let it simmer. When the bo*n begins to get restless sweeten with salt, then put it :in air-tight cans, hitch each can to a brick, and chuck them overboard, and *h« soup is done."

Tho auovo receipt originated with a man In Iowa, who gets up suppers on •odd occasions for Ocid Fellows, He has a receipt for oyster soup of the same kind, only using twice as much water to the oyster anu leaving out the salt.

Npenking of Iowa reminds me of the -way I got the money for my tickot to that Odd Fellow's supper. I beta follow a dollar that I could tell him how much wator to a quart went under the railroad bridge ovor the Mississippi at

Duhuquo In A year. He bet, and I said two pints to a quart. I won tho bat, but alter all, that supper was an awful swindle. If the city didn't settle faster than its coffee did, its old settler's club would be a failure, and the city too.

Dubuque is celebrated for .ts One turnouts. There was very fine turnout on tho streets while I was there a wagon upset and spilled a lot of women. I didn't see it I Uwked the other way. No cards.

A if ISSO ORI 11KA R-8T0R

The hilly country of Colo and Osage \mntl«sot thisHtato has at onetime been a favorite resort for game, and particularly for bears. Not long ago William Hamilton, residing near the JMiaaouri Pacific Railroad, went into ihe timber, about a mile off, to shoot DqulrreU. Not returning in the evening, bis family became alarmed, as it was known be»r* had recently been Moen in the neighborhood. Nothing being hntrd of him all night, several neighbors the next morning went in •oarch of him. About three o'clock in the evening they found him up a leaning tree, thirty feet from the ground, fast, and unable to extricate himself. After some trouble he was taken down, and it was seen that one foot and ankls were badly torn and bleeding. He said that about three o'clock the previous day he oatne across a large black bear, and shot at but tniaaed him. The bear made for him with all his might. He ran, and, finding the bear gaining on htm, threw away his rifle, and partly climbed and partly ran up a leaning nyoamore-tree, with the boar following right at his heels. The top of this tree had been broken off and was hollow. He thrust one of his legs into the bole to keep himself from failing, but soon found that his leg was fast. He tried extricate himself, but could not. The bear In the mean time had torn his lx»ot off, and was gnawing and eating the fleah from tbe foot and ankle. Mr. Hamilton took hi»pockot«knifeout and

cut at bruin's eyes but with one sweep of his paw, the bear struck the knife from his hand, with apart of two of his fingers.

Hamilton could now see no help, and gave up to die, expecting to be eaten up alive by the bear. But soon a happy thought struck him. That morning he had put some salt in his pocket to salt some oattle he had running in the tiin ber. He took a small handful and sprinkled it in the boar's eyes. It had the desired effect. The beat shook his head, growled, and went down. He soon returned, however, but a little more suit drove him away the second time, aud to Mr. Hamilton's inexpres sible delight he trotted off into the forest.

That night Mr. Hamilton's sufferings were beyond expression, with one leg fast in the hole in the top of the tree, tho other hanging out. torn and bleeding, and he not knowing what minute the bear would return and finish his work. He ascribes the preservation of his lite to the salt he had in his pocket, and advises everybody, before lie goes hunting in Osige County, to till at least one pocket with salt.

"DEATH A LIFTING UP.

I love to think that what seems to be the mystery of the silence of death, whi'h envelopes so many that we loved on earth, is not reilly a mystery. Our friends are separated from us oecause they are lilted up higher than our faculties can go. Ourchild dies. It is the hst that we see of him here. Ho is lifted so far above us that we cannot follow him. Ho was our child he was cradled in our arms but instantly, in the twinkling of an eye, God took him and lifted him up into his own sphere And we see him not. Rut it is because we are not yet developed enough. Wo cannot see things spiritual with carnal eyes. But they who have walked with us here, who have gone beyond lis, and whom we cannot see, are still ours They are more ours than they ever were bo fore. We cannot commune with them as we once conld, because they are infinitely lifted above those conditions in which we are able to commune. We remain here, and are subject to the laws of this realm. They have gone where they speak a higher tnguago and live in a higher sphere, But this silence is not the silence of vacuity, and this mystery is not the mystery of darkness and death. Theirs is the glory, ours is the waiting for it Theirs is the realization ours is the immaturity striving to bo ripe. And when the day comes that we shall disappear from these earthly scenes, we shall be joined to them again not as we were—for we shall not then be as we were, but as they are, with God We shall be like them and Him.

A TERRESTRIAL IMMORTALITY FATAL TO HAPPINESS.

How much of life should we lose if we lived perpetually! How stagnant would have been the condition of man! Supposing that habit had the same power that it has now, (and without the power cf habit we could not construct a human life at all,) I cannot understand how a race of immortal men could have made progress in know! edge or in the arts. A tolerable existence once secured, habits, customs, rooted beliefs, operating alike on all, would render change impossible curiosity and the love of novelty would die out life would become a fixed routine. I cannot conceive that this middle aged immortal would ever keenly anticipate the future. Peihaps wonder itself would fade away from the face of things. And that eternity beyond life which death forever points to, though he points so silently, would, of course, cease to be the great stimulant of man's sublimest thoughts and emotions Nothing could be so fatal to human happiness as a terrestrial immortality. Indeed, it is hardlj' possible to form* a distinct conception of so unnatural a condition. The family with all its ties and interest and affections, would of course bo extinct. What sentiments man might still retnin toward his fel-low-man, or the great external nature that surrounds him, would havo lost their strength, their tenderness, their mystery"—[Q raven hurst.
