AFTERWARD.
Chambers' Journal.
O strange, O sad perplexity,
Bliud groping through the night,
Faith faintly questions can there be
An afterward of light?
O heavy sorrow, grief and tears,
That all our hopes destroy;
Say, shall there dawn in coming years
An afterward of joy?
O hopes that turu to ffall and rue,
Sweet fruits that bitter prove ;
Is there an afterward of true
And everlasting love?
O weariness, within, without,
Vain longings for release;
Is there to inward fear and doubt
Au afterward of peace?
O restless wanderings to and fro,
In vain and fruitless quest ;
Where shall we Had above, below,
An afterward of rest;
O death, with whom we plead in vain
To stay thy fatal knife;
Is there, beyond the re:;ea of pain,
An afterward of lifer
All, yes: we know this seeming ill,
Wh.'u rightly understood,
In Go i's own time and way fulfill
His afterward of good.
A NOTABLE PB00ESSI0N
Of Important and I'nique Individuals
An Occultation or Intellect and
Phllosoph3-.
Lilian Whiting's Boston Letter.
We have had a notable procession of im
portant and rather unique individuals in
Boston during the past three months, figures
that are marked in contemporary history.
The first was Pro tap Chunder Mozoomdar,
the eloquent representative of the new relig
ious reforms in India known as the Brahmo
Somaj. Then followed Mgr. Capel, Matthew
Arnold, George W Cable (whose readings
are an entirely original form of entertain
ment), Pere Hyacinthe, and Henry Irving.
Each of these men is in his way of a very
marked and unique type of individuality. In
creating them nature broke the mould or de
stroyed tbe plate, and there are no replicas.
Each is distinctive, and, in different ways,
great. Babu Mozoomdar, with his message
of "the Oriental Christ;" Capel, the astute
and polished prelate; Matthew Arnold, one
of the greatest critical forces in modern
letters; Pere Hyacinthe, modern Martin
Luther, an iconoclast . and an enthusiast in
one; Henry Irving, a central and unique
ligure on the stage ; Mr. Cable, the greatest
original genius of romance since Hawtborne
all these figures have, since September,
passed in procession across the social pano
rama. It is au intellectual occutation, and
an event as important in the social world as
an occutation of the heavenly bodies could be
to the world of science. The conjunction of
the appearance of so many remarkable men
marks as memorable to Boston the autumn
of B83.
It is interesting to inquire what is the im
port of this occultation and what message
these men have to oring. That their com
bined offerings are purely intellectual ami
spiritual, rather than scientific and material,
is a suggestive commentary on the age. it is
illumination rather than analysis that they
bring to the world's problems. The trend of
the age, whether for good or for ill, is dis
criminative and metaphysical. Old truths
are changed in appearance. Prolonged and
profound scientific study and the growth of
positive philosophy have produced a spiritual
crisis. Truth returns, grown strong by its
denials, to assert itself as a new force. There
is a demand for the seer, the interpreter, and
one, too. who can present afiirmatious dra
matically. Daniel Webster'N Disappointment.
Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer.
Daniel Webster, it is known, wa-s poor. He
had the -power -to make-money, but-uot to
keep it, for his bouse was as open as the day
to melting charity. His only son, a man of
fine intellect and character, but like his par
ent, of but little wealth, asked of the Taylor
administration an office, which no one
doubted he was conqjetent to fill. The re
sult is told in the words of Mr. Webster to
one of his most intimate friends. The con
versation occurred while Taylor was still
president:
"if 1 were to live my "life over again with
my present experience, I wouid, under no
circumstances and from no considerations,
allow myself to enter public life. The public
is ungrateful. The man who serves the pub
lic most faithfully receives no adequate re
ward. In my own history thyse acts which
have been before God, the most disinterested
and the least stained by selfish considerations
have been precisely those for which I have
been most freely abused. No, no, have noth
ing to do with politics. Sell your iron, eat
the bread of independence, support your
family with the rewards of honest toil, do
your duty as a private citizen to your coun
try, but let politics alone. It is a hard life, a
thankless life. Still I know it has its compen
sations. There are some green spots, occa
sional cases, in the life of a public man ; other
wise we could not live. The conviction that
the great mass of the intelligent and patriotic
citizens of your country approve of well-directed
efforts to serve them is truly consoling.
That confidence on the part of my fellow
citizen I think I possess. I have had in the
course of my official life, which is not a short
one, my full share of ingratitude, but the un
kindest cut of all, the shaft that has sunk the
ieepest into my breast, has been the refusal
of this administration to grant my request for
an office of small pecuniary consideration to
my only son."
He then straightened himself up, and, with
conscious dignity, added :
"I have not deserved such treatment. I
have served my country too long and too as
siduously to receive such a slight from this
administration. However, let us say no
more about it ; the whole thing is too con
temptible to claim from me a moment's
thought"
The American Custom.
Chicago Tribune.
The author of "John Halifax, Gentleman,"
has written to her publishers to say that she
does not wish her name to appear as it usually
does, Dinah Mulock Craik, but as Dinah
Maria Craik. The fashion of retaining one's
family surname after marriage is peculiarly
American. In England they drop it and re
tain the middle name, if they have one. A
correspondent says: "I must say that I pre
fer the American custom. It is more dis
tinctive. You may not recognize Mary Ann
Smith, but if you see the name written Mary
Fitzsimmons Smith, you say at once, 'Why,
that is old Fitzsimmons' daughter who mar
ried John Smith.' "
The Reason.
Arkansaw Traveler.
"Look here," said a road-master to an
Irishman, "why don't you put on a clean
shirt?"
"Becase, yer honor, Oi haven't wan in me
chist."
"Well, why haven't you one in your
chest?"
"Because Oi haven't a chist. Git me the
chist, your honor, and Oi'll hunt around fur
a clean shirt to put in it. "
THE UNFINISHED MANU
SCRIPT. Opie Read in Texas Sittings.
Literary men have, somehow, received
a kind of 'social black eye; that is, no
one believes that they are quite as good
husbands or as good fathers as they
should be ; and from the observatory of
casual view, this is correct. Few people
know to what extremities literary men
are reduced. Few, very few indeed,
know how they court the so-called
muse oi inclination. The man
who handles the drawing-knife or
plane can, if he be in physi
cal condition, do liis work creditably;
but the literary man, though he may be
in robust health, and though he may not
have an ache or a pain, is frequently
unable to do acceptable work. This is a
freak which no student of metaphysics
can explain, for the mind of man, al
though it is constantly becoming clearer
and more capable of comprehension, is
still something which a Newton cannot
define, nor a Bacon perfectly explore. A
man's mind seems to have but little to
do with his affections, for, although his
heart may be warm, his words are some
times cold.
"I want vou to go to bed," said Mr.
Mecklambre, the well known novelist,
to his little girl. "Every night when I
sit down to work you persist in snort
ing around. Go to bed, I've got work
to do."
"She can't understand you," said
Mrs. Mecklamore, "I don't think that
she is well."
"She's always ill when I want to
work. She seems to study the time.
What do you want to snort that way
for Vou are enough to drive a man
crazy!"
"Kobert, I don't think the little girl
can help it," the wife replied. "She is
too young to know anything about the
importance of your work."
"Well, it's time she was learning,"
the author exclaimed, turning, with an
angry air. "Other people can work
without interruption. I don't see why
I should be imposed on. I'll go down
town. I can write there without inter
ruption," and he gat.iered up his papers
and left the house.
Quietly, and without the slightest in
terruption, he worked for several hours.
Occasionally, while his mind was deep
in the moulding of a character, be would
see a little anxious face, and hear an ex
clamation of gladness; but he waved
aside the vision and worked on. Late at
night a boy came in with a note. The
message ran :
" I am very uneasy about Dora ; I think
she has the diphtheria."
"My work is done for to-night," he
mused ; and arranging his papers with
a discontented air, he went home. He
found the doctor there. The little suf
ferer smiled at him as he entered. She
tried to say something, but "papa's
come," was all he could understand.
An unfinished manuscript stared at
him.
""Is it a very violent attack?" he asked
of the physician.
"Yes, very."
The mother sat on the edge of the
bed. The father approached. He
couldn't see the lines of the manuscript
now. The little girl choked, and they
lifted her up. The father put his arm
under her head. The unfinished manu
script was dim.
"She has been ailing for several days,"
said the mother, "but we did not think
that there was anything serious the
matter v ith her. She has been so gay
and so full of frolic that Ave didn't think
anything could ail her."
The sufferer looked at her father and
tried to speak, but failing, sue put her
hand into liis and smiled. The un
finished manuscript was dimmer. With a
struggle she said:
"Am I bad?"
"No, angel," whispered the father.
"Do you want me to go to bed?"
"No, darling." The unfinished
mr.nuseript was fading more and more.
"She is past all help," the doctor
said.
i'he mother hid her face in the win
dow curtain. The father took his child
in his arms. She looked at him and
was dead. The unfinished manuscript
had faded.
A Pre historic Reservoir.
New York Sun.
"I've seen a good many wonderful
things in my travels," said John Gregg,
commercial traveler, "but the Walled
lake of Iowa rather lays over every
thing I ever saw. Just imagine a body
of water, covering nearly three thou
sand acres, with a wall built up all
around it, not a stone in which can be
less than one hundred pounds in weight,
and some as heavy as three tons, and
yet there is not a stone to be found
within ten miles of the lake. The wall
is ten feet high, about fifteen feet wide
at the bottom and may be five on top.
The country is prairie land . for miles
around, except a belt of heavy timber
that encircles the lake. This timber is
oak, and it is plain that the trees were
planted there. They are very large.
The belt is probably half a mile wide.
The water in the lake is twenty-five
feet deep, as cold as ice, and as clear as
a crystal.
"What I would like to know is, who
built that wall ? And how did they hold
the water back while they were build
ing it ? And how did they cart those
immense stones for ten miles? If ever
you go to Iowa, don't fail to visit the
Walled lake. You'll find it in Wright
county, 160 miles from Dubuque, i'he
cars will take you almost to it."
The Very Odd Pioneers " or Dakota
Cor. Sr. Louis Globe-Democrat.
It is not strange that the dwellers it
Dakota should be somewhat different
from common folks. Nowhere else be
neath the sun was there ever gathered
such a pioneer population. No hickory
shirts and hobnailed, rawhide boots ; no
log cabins and coonskin caps ; no lum
bering old ox-wagons, full of tow headed
brats, with a half-dozen brindle dogs
trotting along between the wheels ; no
coarse homespun and hog and hominy ;
no toil-swollen hands and smell of sour
sweat and manure piles; no.no. Our
pioneers come in palace-cars, reading
the latest novel, or Longfellow's
rhythmical twaddle about "The Land
of the Dacotahs," which always re
minded me of a two-tailed dog with a
tin can tied to each.
I Their costumes tell of jaunts to New
port and Saratoga, and their wives and
daughters are up in all the mysteries
of Worth, Demorest and Butterick, and
familiar with the newest agonies in
opera arias and dance steps. All farm
work is doDe by machinery. The
ground is broken with sulky plows, the
sowing is done with buggy seeders, the
golden grain is harvested with self
binding reapers and threshed by steam,
while the engine feeds itself with straw
for fuel.
Our grangers farm in city tailor

A TRAMP SEER.
He fiiazes Into Futurity, bat Sees the
AVrons Picture.
Detroit Free Press.
His beard was long, tangled and gray,
and indicated age. His clothes were
scant and ragged, and indicated pov
erty. His eyes were dreamy and his
nose was red. These, with a tomato
can, which was only partially concealed
in one of his coat-tail pockets, indicated
the tramp. The charge against him
was "no visible means of support." He
seemed to be familiar with the court
and its surroundings, and when his
name was called he stepped briskly to
the bar.
"What do you do for a living?" he
was asked.
"Hook into the future," he answered
solemnly.
"Scan its mystic realms now and tell
ns what you see," ordered his honor
sarcastically.
The prisoner threw his arms over the
rail, leaned heavily upon it, and throw
ing his head back, closed Iris eyes, and
for a moment was motionless.
"I see," he said, "a cruel man in ablue
coat with brass buttons and a club,
dragging a poor old man along the
street. The scene changes ; the cruel
man is now being rebuked by a kind
gentleman with a magisterial air, who
then says to the poor old man, 'Go home,
my friend, and may God bless you.'
The scene again changes ; the poor old
man is in his bare, cold attic room and
is down ou his knees in prayer for the
good kind gentleman with a magisterial
air."
The prisoner here shook himself and
straightening up asked: "Did I say
anything wh.le x was in a trance?"
"Yon did. I presume' you said just
what you saw."
"Ah ! that's good," said the accused,
rubbing liis hands.
"Yon didn't see anything of an island,
seagirt and dotted here and there with
massive cast es ; of a coach like a mail
wagon, and -a sad on the laughing wa
ters that connect the island with the
main land, did you ?"
"No, indeed, l did not," said the ac
cused, hurriedly.
"Then you can't see any further into
the future than the end of your nose,
for just what I have described you are
going to see, and see them every day un
til the festive month of March
blows in."
Japanese Cenietct-s".
Cor. Philadelphia Pre .
I want to say a word about Japanese
cemeteries, which are seen everywhere.
The recipe for a Japanese graveyard
is very simple. It only requires about
ten feet square of ground for a very
good beginning. Then this space needs
to berowded to repletion with short,
stubby stone monuments, rough hewed,
and often only a few inches apart. In
deed, in many 2laces you will encounter
single graves in isolated localities, by
the wayside, or on the premises -of a
family. There is one just back of our
apartment in the Nikko yadoya, roofed
over, as is frequently the case with a
wooden canopy.
Of course this is only general, and
applies to the representative Japanese
cemeteries. Japan has her Greenwoods,
which are different from, rather than
inferior to, our American burying
grounds. The monuments are moss
grown usually, but it is because this
is in accord with the proprieties as the
Japanese look at things. The funerals
are nsnally at sunset, though I saw one
in Tokio at early dawn. The deceased
is buried as he had lived in a squat
ting attitude, the casket being a square
tub of wood, unless his worldly goods
warrant an earthen jar. Non residents
who die in a community are cremated,
and their ashes are then returned to the
native ken. .
Enter almost any cemetery and you
will find tapers, coins, trays of food,
shavings for starting a fire, and other
articles, all showing the mundane
character of the ideas which the Japan
ese cherish with reference to the after
life. Indeed so anxious are they to
sleep with their faces toward the north
that they frequently mark the points of
the compass upon the ceiling of the
room, so that a sleeper may avoid mak
ing any mistakes.
The Japanese observe a great many
such littye superstitions, ihey h:
the most costly .bronze monumen
erected here in this city, for no other
purpose than to keep the devil away.
If any change is noticed in the appear
ance of an article connected with their
temples or cemeteries, it is promptly at
tributed to some ghost, and fertile im
aginations devise a fictitious account,
which is promptly accepted and incor
porated into the authoritative legends
belonging to this most elusive of ail
heathen faiths the Shinto religion ol
the Japanese.
Marriage by Contract.
San Francisco Chronicle.
- I am told there is quite a large
amount of marriage by contract done in
San Francisco. Men and women save
the license and fee by simply making
out a regular agreement, and it is stated
they believe it is as proper and correct
as the register and the church. This
points to a dangerously low condition of
the moral sense. But, after all, it does
not matter much. It makes just as
many possibilities for the lawyers and
saves t.ie trouble of divorce.

ADVICE TO CONSUMPTIVES.
On the appearance of the first symptoms,
as general debility, loss of appetite, pallor,
chilly sensations, followed by night-sweats
and coufh, prompt measures of relief
should be taken. Consumption is scrofu
lous disease of the lungs; therefore use
the great anti-scrofulous or blood-purifier
and strength-restorer, Dr. Pierce's "Golden
Medical Discovery." Superior to cod liver
oil as a nutritive, and unsurpassed as a
pectoral. For weak lungs, spitting of
blood and kindred affections, it has no
equal. Sold by druggists. For Dr. Pierce's
treatise on Consumption send two stamps.

Ammen's Cough Syrup is not a patent
medicine. No patent has been asked for
or obtained upon it. To protect the public
from counterfeits and imitations, the
manufacturer has had the label registered
in Washington. The syrup is made from
pure and costly drugs, and cannot be sold
as cheap to the dealer as the common
patent medicines that are simply made to
sell, which explains why dishonorable
druggists or dealers try to sell you some
thing else when asked for Ammen's
Cough Syrup. It is upon the market upon
its own merits. You can buy a sample
bottle for 15 cents, upon which, at the
wholesale price, the manufacturer makes
nothing. Ask to see a large bottle, and

The want of a reli
able diuretic which,
while acting as a
stimulant of the kid
neys, neither excites
nor irritates them,
was long Bince sup
plied by Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. This
fine medicine exerts
the requisite degree
of stimulation upon
these organs, without
producing irritation,
and in, therefore, far
better adapted for the
purpone than un
medicated excitants
often resorted to.
Dyspepsia, fever and
ague, and kindred
diseases, are all cured
by it. For sale by all

SKIN HUMOH.
My baby, six months old, broke out w;ith some kind of
skin humor, and after being treated tivu months by my
family physicion was given up to die. The druggist
recommended SwifVs Specific, and the effect was as
gratifying as it was miraculous. My child soon got well,
all traces of the disease i gone, and he is as fat as a pig.
