All down the long narrow street The windows wore wide all day; The musks and the pinks smell sweet In the hoxe; over the way. The night is a iii'ht of June. When the summer Howe's are born And, above a sickle moon Hangs over the coming corn. No sigh of the past is there, And the silence spellful feels; When out on the dreamy air The Old-Maid's music steals. -IfciieeihVTtilfr - lhat must fill the eye with teal's So sweet, so wistful, so old, That ility of fifty years! Even as I listen and hear, Those years roll hack between, And the long ago draws near, Till 1 look on what has been. And a sound of footsteps rings, And the shadows move below While she lifts her voice and sings That ditv of loni; a!0. And I see two figures pace Together with lingering feet; And now 'tis a girl's white face That looks down the empty street. And I see her lean and gaze, And the crowd is black below- But the Old Maid sits and plays That dity of long ago! ,,p. ,. . , . , . lis hht m the narrow street, lo-di lay is the longest day; The musks and the pinks smell sweet In the boxes over the way. Spectator. Mary Ann's Mother Afraid. "An' have ye heard any more from Mary Ann, neighbor O'Raherryr ''Divil the wurrid, Airs. O'FIaherty, only that the Erinch count got to jilons av siveral gintlemon at Chitaquaky that he 1 ill take her away and aff to New York.' "An' phwy didn't he bring the choild home to her mother, inshtirl av takin' her away aff to New York?'' "An' shure it was to home he did want to bring her, but Alary Ann, bavin' niver pcen in New York, an' wantin' to see the stoile, ye know, an' to learn more av the wurruld afore she do go on the stage, she mod the count take her there for a few days." "An' how does she loikc it there?" "Loike it? Eaith an' she sex it even bates Chitaquaky for great gintlciiien. She was no sooner sailed at the table at Dil monico's, 1 belaves it is, she calls it, than the eyes av all the gintlemon in the room were up on her. They fairly shtopped aitin,' they did. An' the nixt niorniir at the hotel she do be sthoppin at, she resai.xed cards av the most illegant flavor, so noicc that she sez she could ate thini, from the most fashiona blest gintlcmen in the city. But I tell ye, the Frinch count is a daisy- divil the wan stv the whole gang did he allow to iti ter Mary Ann s room, so much loike a father to her is he, ye know.'' "I.oike a father!" "Indude' an' sonietoiines I'm afraid, so I am, there'll be great trouble betwixt the count and some other gintlenien, owin,' ye know, to Mary Ann's great figure an takin' ways. Espic ially I'm afraid av that Gib hard t. fell. They say he's a very divil after beauty. "Well, me washin' is waitin' on me. I must go in. I'laise excuse me." Kentucky State Journal. Tho old ehestnut of nredict ing that the national banks will b' flns-i'd four months after the inauguration of Harrison is go ing the rounds, and some bets have been offered and taken on it.

Witness: "There was also a quart bottle found in one of bis pockets." Corinor: "Was the bottle empty?" Witness: "No, sir, it was full hadn't been touched." Coroner: "Poor fel low, be must have died without a moment's warning." An English View. The following editorial pub lished in the London Times the day after our election, shows the interest manifested by the En glish in the success of the dem ocratic and President Cleveland : Our advices this morning would seem to indicate that Mr. Cleveland has been re-elected to the presidency of the United States. Missouri and Arkansas two of the strongest republican Utatqs, have xptqrned- democrat ic congressmen, while Maryland and Florida are overwhelmingly democratic. It will require several weeks perhaps to hear from Illinois, lying as it does west of the Kocky mountains, but Nevada, New Jersey, and other of the so-called gulf states would doubtless give the admin istration their support. Mr. Carter Harrison, the republican candidate for the presidency, is now in Europe. Apparently he has takent but little interest in the contest. England has been brought into the American po litical fight by men who know nothing of this country, its peo pie, or even its geography. It is surprising how densly ignor ant of English affairs the Amer icans are. A later dispatch says that Ex-Governor Hill of Georgia has been defeated for the mayoralty in New York." Obeying the Scriptures. Cook (appearing in a great hurry at the dining room door) "1 'lease ma'am, will you come and make Johnny let go of the plum pudding? "We can't get a mouthful; he's got his arms around it, oud " Ma "Arms around the pud ding! You must be mistaken cook! Did you give him a plate of iff" Cook "Yes, ma'am, I did, but he wont leave hold of the dish." . Ala "I will come and see about it. Johnny put your arms down this instant. Thi6 is very nice behavior, truly!" Johnny "Wiry, ma, didn't you embroider that motto there over the mantleshclf V1 Ala "Yes, Johnny, you saw me work it. It is, "Obey lhe Scriptures," and I hope you al ways will." Johnny "Yes, ma, I am do ing so now! I read to-day in the Bible class, 'Hold fast to that which is good,' and this pudding is so gcod that I want to hold fast and eat it up." Sensation. He Knew What it Was. A teacher in the High street school, during the progress of a lesson in physiology the other day, used herself as a subject in illustrating the different parts of the body. No difficulty was experienced in eliciting correct answers as to the position of the head, arms and lim!.s. "When, however, the teacher described something that was invisible the scholars were mystified. She asked about the location of the backbone, and, indicating its position in her own body, she asked what it was. Nobody could answer at first. Sudden ly a bright thought occurred to an observing youngster. His eyes sparkled, and lie raised his hand to attract the teachers at tention. ""Well, John," she said, "what do you call it?" "Yer bustle," answered the lad promptly. The information was too " much for the school, and the laughter that followed indicated that the innocent mistake was perceived by the other pupils. Fall River Jlerald. The Atlanta Constitution notes that "the lumber used in John Brown's gallows is still preserv ed at Harper's Ferrs, and the owner wants -f 1,500 for it." A world's wonder is a sinking mountain near Talulah, Ga. It sinks all the time, but so slowly as hardly to be perceptible, but upon the occurrence of earth quakes anywhere in the world goes down from one to six feet in a very brief space. He Had Already Made an Investment "Wife "Here's adother arti cle about a poor man getting rich through a small investment in natural gas lauds. is lanas. nv can't vnn tfo something like that instead of poking around like a slave and living from hand to mouth all ytfur days' But no, you'd never think of such a thing as putting a dollar into natural gas." Husband (firmly) "My dear, you wrong me. Some " yeari ago I did'niakeMttr wvtistnuliTf in natural gas. I knew the gas was there, but I had no idea of the stupendous, never-failing character of the vein. It has cost me much money and many sleepless nights to develop it, and the yield now is something enormous." "Wife "Funny I never heard obout it before. When did you make this investment?" Husband (sadly) You did know about it, my dear, but you didn't appreciate it, nor did I. It was when I married you, my angel wife." How to Cook Husbands. J " - a Miss Carson said in the Bal timore cooking-school that a Baltimore lady had written a receipt for cooking husbands, so as to make them tender and good. It is as follows: "Make a clear, steady fire out of love, neatness and cheerfulness. Set him as near this as seems to agree with him. If he sputters and fizzes, do not be anxious; some husbands do this until they are quite done. Add a little sugar in the form of what confectioners call kisses, but no vinegar or pepper on auy ac count. Do not stick any sharp instrument into him to see if he is becoming tender. Stir him gently; watch the vhile,lest he lie too flat and close to the ket tle and become useless. You cannot fail to know when he is done. If thus treated, you will find him digestible, agreeing nicely with you and the children, and he will keep as long as you want, unless 'on become care less and set him in too cold a place." Good Deacon My friend, my dear friend, how happy I am to see you at Kev. Sam J ones' re vival meetings; but, after all, perhaps my bops, are not well founded. As you are a literary man, perhaps you come as a re porter, and are not here of your own accord. Bohemian I came simply for my own benefit. Good Deacon I am delight ed to hear that. Bohemian Yes. You see I am getting up a new dictionary of slang. An Artie Belle. A red silk handkerchief was tied around her forehead and ribbons fluttered from the knot of hair which stood up on the crown of her head. Her boots were as red as her handkerchief, and quite as spotless. Her trousars were of the choicest and most shining sealskin, neat ly ornamented with needle-work and beads. Her jacket was al so of sealskin, met with trous ers at the hips, where it was sringed with a broad baud of eider down. "William Brad ford. "Keep away from that," said a restaurant keeper to an Irishman who was standing in fron of a newly arrived box of turtles holding his finger in evident pain. "What are vou doing there, any how?" "I wor investigating." "Investigating what?" "I wor trying to see which mis' the head and which was the tail ov the baste over there in the corner of the box." "What do you want to know that for?" "I've a curiosity to know whether I've been bit or stung." In China there over 400 spe cies of plants used for feod and in the world probably ten times that number. Sawdust in Swe den is used in bread and found digestible. i- -r.
