AWAKENING.
I think I coald do without yon.
Perhaps, while the sky is fair;
And the infinite smile of summer
Glows in the golden air.
When earth with its myriad whispers
Breathes in the ear of day
The secret of that great glory
That awaits her far away.
For, indeed, there are fairer faces
That shine more bright in the sun;
And voices whose tone, it may be, .
More smoothly and sweetly run,
And when over rale and meadow
Peace like a mantle flows
Who dreams of the distant battle
Who doubts the- heart of the rose?
But when to a night of sorrow
Raises a day of scorn; . ,
When out of the smile comes treason,
And out of the rose a thorn ;
When the soul is sick with thinking
Of the plots and wiles of men.
Of life and life's long travail
Could I do without you then!
O, heart! more true and tender.
Than ever was heart before;
O, hand! whose faithful clasping
Jlolds fast forever more;
O, sweet, pure soul! unchanging
Through doubt, and love, and pain,
. Shall I, so flow to know you.
Now know at last in vain!
Behold I come and whisper,
Weary, and bruised, and hurt;
I plead for grace, not honor,
For mercy, not desert.
Will you stretch your hand and lift me
Out of my own un worth?
For I know I can do without you
Never again on earth!
HOOD ON THE HALF-SHELL.
In one of the topgallant flats,
At a rickety sewing machine,
A worn woman sat. embroidering cats,
In red and yellow and green,
Working for daily bread,
Through pleasant weather and rough.
Till the tender grace of the days that are
dead
Seemed old and bald headed and tough.
Work! stitch! snip!
With thread ana needle and shears,
With aching and quivering lip,
And eyes that are cloudy with tears,
Work! snip! stitch!
From the dawn till the sunlight fails, -Trying
her level best to get rich
On blue cats with cardinal tails.
aiaklmc Artlllelal Ivory.
Exchange.
A French paper gives the following
description of a new process for making
artifical ivory from the bones of sheep
and goats and the waste of white skins,
such as kid, deer, etc. The bones are
macerated for ten or fifteen honrs in a
solution of chloride of lime and after
ward washed in clean water and allowed
to dry. Then they are put with all the
scraps of hide, etc., into a specially
constructed boiler ana dissolved by
steam so as to form a fluid mass, to
which is added 2 per cent, of alum.
The foam is skimmed off as it rke un
til the moss is clear and transparent.
Any convenient coloring material is
then adde-l, and while the mas? is still
warm it is strained through cloth of
appropriate coarseness and received in
a cooler, and allowed to cool until it
has acquired a certain consistence so
that it can be spread out on a canvas
without passing through it. It is dried
on frames in the air, and forms sheets
of convenient thickness. It is then nec
essarv to harden it, which is accom
plished by keeping it for eight or ten
hours in an alum bath that has not
been used before. The quantity of
alum necessary for this operation
amounts to 50 per cent, by weight of
the gelatine sheets. When they have
acquired sufficient hardness they are
washed in cold water and let dry on
frames as at first.' This material works
more easily and takes as fine a polish as
leal ivory.
Didn't Know Who It Ma.
Croffut's New York Letter.
At a dinner last week a New York
physician of eminence whom I sat near
told an interesting story of an English
dinner. "It was some jears ago. I
had come too late to make the acquaint
ance of the other guests. To me was
assigned to take to the table a lady
whom I did not know, and whose name
I did not distinctly hear. She had a
hy face, and a gentle, sweet voice,
and deprecating manner, as if she
were bashful and sought to escape ob
servation. To encourage her I plunged
at once into the topic I had just been
. discussing with a friend George El
iot's last novel, 'Middlemarch.' Find
ing that my companion listened intelli
gently and knew what I was talking
about, I said I had been pained to dis
cover a technical error in my favorite
. author's last book. I referred to the
hospital scene, and showed that the
doctor took a position quite untenable
and unprofessional. I was much in
earnest, but .1 quieted down whea I
found that she agreed with me. After
dinner my demure companion took a
gentleman by the button and said : 'See
here, dear, I want you to know this
physician from America ; doctor, this is
my husband, Mr. Lewes.' It was George
Eliot to whom I had been explaining
the incongruities of 'Middlemarch'!"
Monffht to Reach the Reason.
Inter Ocean.
On one occasion "Wendell Phillips
said to a friend: "I remember that
after making an abolition speech in
Boston one evening, I took a car for
home. Next to me sat a man who asked
me if I had been to hear Phillips. I
told him I had. He then asked what I
thought of the speech. I answered that
I was pretty well satisfied with it.
Slapping me on the knee he said ex
ckedly: That fellow can make you
believe black is white.' This set . me
thinking. I knew I was capable of ex
erting a great influence over my audi
ences. In those old days I often stirred
them up to such a pitch of excitement
that it would only have been necessary
for me to suggest that they should go
out and burn a barn, mob a pro-slavery
meeting, or do some other illegal act,
and they would have done it. But I
reflected that this wai not, after all, a
very desirable influence. It would not
be of any permanent value, for the next
day they would repent them of their
folly and be anxious to mob me for lead
ing them into it. From that time I
sought to reach the reason rather than
the passions of an audience, and I know
that the results were better, and my in
fluence greater and more lasting."
Intellectual.
Arkansaw Traveler.
"Let me see," said a young graduate
to a highly intellectual friend, "was it
Pope who wrote the Iliad, or was it the
Iliad who wrote Pope ?"
"Neither," replied the intellectual
friend. "It was blind Homer who trans
lated the Iliad."
"Oh, yes, now I remember. I would
give anything for your cleverness, but
please tell me what is the Iliad any
way?" "Why it .is a poem telling all about
an old fellow who lived in a tub of
water."
"I don't believe that a man could live
in tub of water, do you?"
"Oh, no, but then we must not ques
tion ancient mythology."
TH03E THREE A0E3. i
Commotion Caused la a Vame of j
Draw Poker by a Doable-Decked
Beer Table.
New York Sun.
It was a wretched night. The steadily fall
ing rain was changing into sleet Colder and
and colder the raw wind was growing.
Only four members of the lodge Paul Ds
Spotte, R. F. Bel lch ambers, John Dougall
and Mr. Siccardi entered the meeting-room
over Col. Schilling's wet goods store. Eight
o'clock came and passed. Clearly there
would be no session that evening. Some one,
reluctant to go out in the storm, proposed to
kill the time with draw poker. The table
npon wh'ch they played was one of the
German double-decker style, the lower deck
intended to support glasses. Early in the
game the happy thought occurred to Bell
chambers of utilizing that lower deck for a
different purpose. Gradually he accumulated
three aces there, but not without De 3potte'n
eagle eye noting the process.
Bellchatnbers got a pair of kings and three
worthless cards. He took three cards on the
draw, but neatly stowed them away on the
lower deck and replaced them in his hand
with his accumulated "sure thing." De
Spotte received a pair of queens in the deal
and in the draw took three cards. Bell
chambers, before the draw, had made it
"cost a little more to come in," and when
betting began he was almost ferocious in his
demonstrations of confidence in his hand.
Tho previously sufficient half-dollar limit
disgusted him by its inadequacy. Dougall
and Siccardi said that as far as they were
concerned he might make it anything he
liked, as they proposed taking a rest. De
Spotte did not want to rest just then, but
had no objection to dropping the limit. Beil
chanibrs was happy. At length all the
chips were up in the middle of the table, and
De Spotte, resisting sternly Bellchamber's
tearful appeals to be allowed to bet his 'ore
and a coming invoice of goods, and other
valuables, in a succession of raises, called.
From the time of ie draw, Bellchamber
had not once looked at his band. . Why
should he when he knew so well what was in
itf On the call he turned them over. The
expression cn his countenance was frightful
ti look at. Ha had only a pair of kings and
sovei, nine and ten! De Spotte placidly
t iraed his hand three aces and a pair of
queens!
"Vnere did you get those acesr Bjllcha:u
Lers shouted, aghast and purple.
Under the table, where you put them,"
De Spotte ans wered, with an exasperating
smile.
Dougall and Siccardi yelled with unhal
lowed glee, while Bellchambers, rising in in
dignation, proclaimed, "I won't play where
such unfair advantages are taken," and went
forth into the storm that was calm compareJ
with the raging in his anguished breast.
Characteristics of the Ex-Slaves.
Hamilton Jay in Detroit Free Press.
The principal reason why papers
edited and conducted exclusively by
colored men and exclusively for the so
called benefit of the colored race have
generally met with bad lack, and been
s j short lived, is that the negro has no
need of a newspaper.
He is a lorn gossip, a natural news
gatherer, and whatever he may chance
to see or hear is at once scattered to
the fonr winds of heaven, through the
medium of such of his own ra?e as he
may happen to meet.
A hasty telling, a picturesque em
bellishment, and away go the self-ap
pointed couriers, happy in the posses
sion of a piece of new that insures them
a hearty welcome everywhere, and in
vests them with a dignity ihey could
not otherwise hope to obtain.
Nothing pleases the negro better than
a chance to talk, whether it be in the
pulpit,' cornfield, street corner, or any
other place whc e two or three of his
race are gathered together.
Tell him something important, and
in less than twenty-four hours his
neighbors for forty miles around have
heard all about it, decorated with
weird brilliancy of meaning the various
passages it has traversed. No matter
where the negro may be or ia what oc
cupation engaged, if he can have some
one to talk to he is perfectly happv,
and evolves a quantity of wisdom, ludi
crous and otherwise, that would make
old Col. Plato, of the Athenian cavalry,
turn pale with envy.
The negro is a gregarious animal
also,"and for him solitude has absolutely
not a single charm.
He will at a ay t'me walk ten miles
for company's sake, and a chance to air
his social, political or religious opin
ions is considered bv him a greater
favor than a glass of whisky with white
sugar thrown in.
He don't like to be forced to com
mune with himself, at least not until
he gets to be 100 years old; prefers
stewed rabbit to a reverie and relig
iously believes that in the multitude of
counselors there is safety.
Of the ten measures of talk that are
supposed to have been thrown down
from (heaven the negro got nine, and
hs makes constant use of them on each
and every possible occasion.
JelT Davis' Marriage.
:'Vr. L. C." in Inter Ocean.
The scconl frame house erected in
Trairie da Cine a was built by James
H. Lockwood. This house was used
for the garrison of Fort Crawford, and
was the residence of various army
officers, among whom was " Zach
Taylor, then a colonel in the United
btates army and commander of this
post for about sixteen years. Also
Jefferson Davis, afterward president of
the Southern Confederacy, was then a
lieutenant in the regular army at this
point. It was here that "Jeff wooed and
won Miss Noxie, a daughter of "Zach"
Taylor, concerning which episode
no little of romance and fiction
has been from time to time
written. But the plain facts in the case
we find to be these: Taylor was
strong.lv oppoteu to ins aaugnter
marrying Mr. Davis, but the girl being
of age repaired to Oalena, Ills., where
she had friends, and Davis met and
married her there, which greatly en
raged Taylor, who carried this enmity
in his breast till the battle . of Buena
Vista, in. the Mexican war, upon which
occasion .Lieut. Davis proved himself a
gallant soldier and a true friend to his
futher-in-law, Taylor, by coming iu
from an unexpected quarter as a reserve
to fill up the gaps made by his falling
soldiers. This "coal of fire" softened
Tavlor's enmity toward "Jeff," and they
then and there shook hands over the
past and were ever afterward the best
of men-is."
Chinese and Chickens.
Portland Oreonian.
It will probably astonish many to
know that three-fourths of all the
chickens brought to this market are
consumed by the Chinese, and that
nine-tenths of all the tame ducks share
the same fate. Tho longer a man lives
the more he finds out, and, instead of
Chinamen feasting on rat pie, as he is
popularly supposed to do, he has just
three times as much chicken pie on his
bill of fare as the white man, and nine
times as much stewed duck.

questions.
"Certainly, sir; proceed."
"About how much are yon worth?"
"Well, I should sav my fortune would
cover $3,000,000 at least."
"Quite a respectable amount. How
is it invested?"
"United States bonds."
"Ah, yes; safe investment; and the
entire amount will go to your daughter

"Every cent of it."
"Quite right. Well, I have had some
little conversation with the young lady
with regard to our forthcoming mar

"Yon are both very kind," replied
the old gentleman, meekly. "Would

HEREDITARY TAINTS.
Some Revelations on a Subject
Which Concern the Welfare
of the Race and the II a p
i pines of All. -
(Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.)
To anv one who has studied the laws of
life, and especially those which relate to
reproduction, an experience such as we
are about to relate, will come with special
force and interest. The transmission of
certain mental traits of prominence and of
certain physical traits of equal prom
inence, are facts which all acknowledge,
but which none can understand. The
father may be distinguished, the son, an
imbecile; or, the parent may be decrepit
and unknown, and the child achieve the
highest place possible to humanity. But
through it all, there will be certain char
acteristics, which mark the individual as
descending from certain ancestors. Too
often, indeed, these characteristics are in
firmities and often of a physical nature.
These facts were strikingly br ought out
during a conversation which a representa
tive of this paper recently had with Mrs.
Carrie D. T. Swift, who is the wife of one
of our most prominent citizens. The lady
related that she inherited from her parents
ceitain tendencies, over which she had no
control, and which were in the nature of
blood difficulties, assuming tne iorm or
rheumatism. Her experience can best be
described in her own words. To the
writer she said :
" I felt the beginning of this hereditary
taint many years ago, in vague pains.
which seemed to come unaccountably and
at uncalled for times. They were annoy
ing, exhausting, and interfered not only
with my duties, but also totally destroyed
my happiness. At nrst, tney wouia oeoniy

to draw on my shoes or gloves without the
greatest effort, I realized what the diffi
culty was, but saemed powerless to avert
it. I finally became so bad that I was con
fined to the house and to my bed most of
the time. My joints pained me continu
ously and my feet swelled to enormous
proportions. Knowing that I inherited
this tendency. I had about abandoned
hope, when I began the use of a remedy,
which (was recommended to me as a friend
as being specially efficient in cases of a sim
ilar kind, to my great gratitude, i iouna
that it; relieved me, restored my appetite,
and I lam able to say that now I have
f;ained forty pounds in weight, feel per
ectly well and am in the bestpossible
condition, owing, wnony, to warners
Safe Rheumatic cure, which was the rem
edy I used."
JNoj one would ever suspect, you naa

" Have you any objection to giving the

Thj newspaper man, after bidding Mrs.
Swifti erood-bve. repaired to the photo-
crraphic reoms of Mr. Furman, when, the
following conversation ensued :
" Have vou been a sufferer from rheu

" For how many years ?"

nothing seemed to do rae any good until I
tried) Warner s Safe Rheumatic Cure.
" And it cured you, did it i"
"Yes. completely."
"And you can cordially recommend it?"
"Yes, indeed, more cordially than any
thing I have ever known of. It is simply
a wonderful medicine. 1 believe that two-
thirds of all cases, both acute and chronic,
could lie cured as I was cured by the use
of this remedy. In fact I know a number
of tiersOns who have been in the worst
possible condition, and are now completely
well! wholly threucrh its use."
The statements above made are from
sources, the authority of which cannot be
questioned. They conclusively prove the
value of the preparation named and show
that) even hereditary traits can be removed
by the use of the proper means.

The worst cases can, however, be cured by DR.
WM. HAUL'S BALSAM for the LUNGS.
