A Drunkard's Dream. BT EMILK PICKHARDT. I passed through a cavern gaping wide, Festooned with snakes on every side, < Whose glist'ning eyes with venoin gleamed, And from whose mouths blue vapor streamed; , And farther down, as on I passed, The cavo grew smaller, till at lost * 1 I had to stoop and slowly creep On hands and knees, my way to keep. But still, iinpollod by hidden poorer, I crawled along in that dread hour, Which seemed to me like months and years And tilled me with tormenting fears. In mold'ring heaps on every side J.ay skulis, with orbits glaring wide And grinning jaws that seemed to mock As I crept from slimy rock to rock; And, ever screaming in my ears, The vampires tlew, their nmdd'ning jeers Thick'ning the air like Stygian night, And o'er the senses casting bliglit. And, leaping madly in their flight, Against my face ghast toads did light, And, crawling o'er my palsied hands, Great lizards lelt their slimy bands. Anon the shrieking demons rent The stifling air, and through me sent Such thrills ot horror and sick'ning dread As never crazed a mortal's head. Then suddenly, by hands unseen, Be lore my eyes was passod a screen On which in letters bold there stood The drunkard's doom, in words of blood. " Ne'er to the drunkard shall be given A crown of glory bright in heaven, But in the darkest pit of hell His blackened soul shall ever dwoll." This vanished; but the pageant dread Went ever on. Now o'er my head, A ghastly gleam of sulph'rous light . Burst on my view and made the night In that dread cave e'en darker seem; Yet by its fitful, flickering gleam, Just there before my eyes, I saw A torm that filled my soul with awe? Shriveled, ghastly, gaunt, it lay Upon the ground; its hair was gray And lurrowed deep its pallid cheek; Then, rising up, it tried to speak, But with the effort backward fell, And rent the air with such a yell j As lroze the marrow in my bones. And then, with agonizing tonca, It moaned and groantu, ' Despair! despair! j Qh! drunkard, backward turn, beware! Dash down that cursed, poisoned cup Before it burns thy spirit up!" Then came a calm and all was still, Save that a shining, silvery rill, That tinkled by 'neath shady trees, IJelreshed my eyes and cooled the breeze. ; Then kneeling by that brook I prayed: > ' " Oh! Heavenly Father, who hast made 'i"his sparkling water, hear my prayer And save my soul from dark despair. Oh, give to me strength to withstand In this dread hour the tempter's hand. Oil, grant that I may once more be | A man trom Liquor's slavery free." Then, bonding o'er the brook, I quaffed From that refreshing stream a draught, And once more saw the gleam of day? I Without was peace?within Hope's ray. ?Hunnyiide Courier. THE STORY OF A COIN. : # * There is a delightful zest about it, this j finding of a unique coin, a bit of money | which remains alone of the thousands ; which were made ages ago, _ which ; no one but the true numismatist can feel. The survival of the cooins of the Greek and Roman periods appears when one thinks about it, quite remark:lble. It is the fate of the precious metals to elianze often in form, for eventually all the gold and silver goes to the melt- ; ing-pot. Such discoveries, then, as have . i been made of old coins are due entirely to accidental hoardings, stored away in . ] the bowels of the earth, which time only by chance brings to light. The military chest of some consul, the commander of n. (ireplr or Roman armv. might have been buried to escape cap- i ture, and thus there turns* up, most un- < oxpectedly, some thousands of ^ears af- j terward, the gold and silver of a pagan i emperor. There may yet be slumbering | in the bed of many a placid lake or swift ; river innumerable old coins, \4>ich some < clay may be fished from the depthscoins worth a thousand times more than i their weight in gold or silver. Here is ; the true story of the rarest of all coins, \ and how a precious medal came to be j the great numismatic triumph of the j French collection: One evening in July, 1867, a French < gentleman, an expert of the British Mu- < seum, was dining in London with Gen. Fox, the son of Lord Holland. In the ] midst of the dinner-table talk, the numis- < matist enthusiast was addressed as fol- < lows by a'gentleman present: < " I am sorry you were not in town to- ] day, for I should have sent you a queer \ kind of a fellow who says he came from i Bokhara, and who pretends thai he luis i a rare coin." < "It was a gold coin, so he said, of some < ancient king of Ind|a, and would weigh i :is much as twenty sovereigns, and was ] huire?as bis as the nalm of mv hand !" The numismatist's heart was in his i mouth. * * i " Sorry you seem so excited about it. It is my belief that the whole thine is a i forgery. Just;think of it! The shabby- ' looking fellow who was hawking the : coin around had the impertinence to ask ?5.000 for it." The numismatist hought it over, and, ; as an expert, reasoned in this way over the story: "Forger he may be. Still, tliere may be something in it. Issuers of spurious old coin never have brains enough to invent new forms; they always vamp up representations of certain wellknswn coins. Anyhow, it may beVonh while for me to look it up as a numismatical monstrosity." "The fellow," continued the informant, " seemed very much down on his luck. He told me that wherever he had been to show or sell his coin, the experts had kicked him out, deciding that his piece of money was a forgery." ' A hope sprang up in^the coin collector's heart?an inkling that some great find was near at hand. Instinctively he rose from the dinner table, de-. termined to set out at once in search of 1 the coin. General Fox. the host, being i himself the most enthusiastic of col- j lectors, understanding what it is to have ;: a fit of numismatic fever, excused his 1 quest's further presence at the dinner. { Out started the numismatist from Ken- j .singtou, and posted, as quick as a cab could take him, to Islington, for at Tslinston he knew an Oriental who kept ! ; up coratnunication willi those curious i! waifs from the East, who only turn up j in tlie greatest cities of the world. A : trail was discovered at Islington itself, I and soon the miserable lodgings of tli man from Bokhara w< re found. The ! landlord of the house said: "The man you wish to see is just going to bed. I . know he has been trying to find you. Shall I call him down?" % 44 Yes, at once,1' cried the expert. In a few minutes down came the man who had been kicked out by every coin collector i* London. With the help of the Oriental, who acted as interpreter, ; the Bokhara man was told to show his coin. Then the Bokhara individual took off his queerly-cut coat, next his embroid- i ered waistcoat, then his waistband, next | his shirt, until there wasnothingon him ! above the waist but his undershirt, and from'under his armpit he drew out, with | ' * great deliberation, a dirty, sweat-beu rimed' leather case, which he laid slowly on the table. Presently the case . was onened. and in an instant the eyes of thp expert were dazzled with that | peculiar soft, yellow sheen which only , jtntique gold gjves forth. It was indeed a prize. One glance alone was sufficient to show that it was a grand medal lion, a unique coin, the ohiefest, tho rarest in the world. It has j takt'n years of study on the part of the numismatic?a transmitted instinct, in fact, through some generations?for this j exp'Tt to appreciate a rare coin at a sin :le look. Knowing that in dealing with Orien- I tals an intending purchaser must exhibit no anxiety, the expert did not allow a j mus-ile of his face to move. It was the Bokhara man who took the gold coin and placed it in the numismatist's hand. If the recipient's hand had trembled in the least with excite-! ment, the wily Oriental would have made a hard bargain. It was a supreme effort, for when the piece was touched only by the numismatist's fingers, a thrill something like an electrie shook tore up hii arm. , I ~ Said the Bokhara man, through the Interpreter, " That coin cost me dear. It has beon> sweated in man's blood?his heart blood. Seven of us found that piece of gold. We quarreled over it. That was natural. It was worth a fight. We fell on one another with knives and daggers. After a while, for it was hot work, five of the men rolled dead in the dust. Only two of us were left. The i other man is still in Bokhara. He agreed J that I should come to Europe to sell this j bit of gold. Since it was iound I have i always carried it under my arm. There , are, 1 understand, more skillful thieves | in England than in Bokhara. They all j say in"London, those who have studied old golden money, that this coin is a forgery. I know better. Will you buy it, my lord ?" The expert looked at it again, and satisfied himself as to its authenticity. It was an antique. More than that, it was a numismatic prodigy. Its weight was nearly five ounces, or twenty staters, and its value in gold about $110. On one side was the portrait of Eucratides, king of Bactria, who lived 185 B. C. The bust of the monarch was crowned with a helmet, ornamented with the horn and , ear of the bull, a peculiar attribute of | the kings of Bactria. On the reverse were the Dioseures, Castor and Pollux, | galloping on horseback, with the legend I in Greek, " Bascilcus Mctamwy Eykmtidoy" ("the Great King Eucratides"). There was a defect, something like a line, running across the field of the pieje. This defect v .is the glory of the coin. This showed the number of blows which were required to strike sueli a big piece. The die with which that coin had been stamped must have been broken after this piece was made. The numismatist was wild with joy, for certainly this piece was unique. _ It was the first, may be the last of its kind, and ! there never would turn up in this world j another piece of-gold like it. "Ask him what he wants for it," in-j ?}uired the expert, with seeming indiference; "it is worth something, of course?its weight, say, in gold." . "he Bokhara man s eyes twinkled; they were black, snaky eyes. "I will take ?5,000 for it, my lord, and nothing else," said the man, coolly, as he picked up the coin and slipped it into the bag, j and was about putting it under his arm. j Now came the moment of trial. The j expert lighted a cigarette and smoked to ! calm ins nerve?, men, mowing me , smoke from his lips, he said: "I'll tell you what I will do. I will i jpve you right now my cheek for ?1.000 i for tlie piece. If the coin is not mine in I twenty minutes I shall offer you ?800 for j it, and so on until I get to ?500. If you | don't close with me to-night, to-morrow I I will not take it any price." " Twenty minutes passed," said the j expert, "like an instant. The Bokhara j man seemed immersed in deen thought, j Then he turned on me suddenly, pierced me through with his black eyes and put j the much-coveted coin in my hand, ! while his long, bird-like lingers were j bent like talons to veceive the check, j The coin was mine. .1 slept with that j coin under my pillow?that is, 1 tried to ! sleep, but . so excited was I that I never closed my eyes that night. The numismatist took the earliest eon-. veyance across the English Channel. ! This medal ?vas not for common collec- j tions. It was a piece for the French Mu-> seum. The Emperor Louis Napoleon heard of it, as did the minister of instruction. M. Feuardent considered an offer of 30,000 francs for the medal as nn imperative commanu urns me coin should remain in France. So stay it did, and though 50.000 fmnes, just double what it cost, weiv nftVred for it. This coin of the Bactrian Eucrntides is now the greatly prized ornament of the Cabinet nes Medailles. To-day it lies in a glass ease all by itself. There is a little handle coming out of the box which permits the public to turn the coin so that both sides of it can be seen. /'This," said the expert to the writer, u is the rarest coin in the world, and the one for which the highest price has been faid. Since it cost the lives of five men, do not think anything more was really paid for it than it was worth. It ought to have been saved for the delectation of numismatic amateurs in all times to come, even had fifty or one hundred lives been sacrificed." = The Grandest Sight on Earth. There is one sight from the city o Guayaquil, South America, says a correspondent, more attractive than all the others?one well worth a long journey to see, for nature nowhere else repeat.^ the picture in its sublime grandeur. From the balconies of Guayaquil can be seen, far away, the long range of the Ancles, it is a signt granu oeyonu an words to express. In the language of mother, I will say: " One may forget all the other incidents of a long and tedious iourney to behold this oAe sigh*." The impression produced on the mind by this glorious vision of snowy peaks in a tropic Mime is unfading. It is :i scene by itself? :ip:irt from all else in life. When the sun has nearly touched the Pacific, as you turn from him and look eastward, there stands, in grandeur absolutely inconceivable, one of the most stupendous monuments of the hist great revelation of the stupendous changes that have been wrought in the earth's :-rust, as a geologist would say, but, in the language? of history, the lofty home af the Incas, made illustrious by the 1 sword of Pizarro and the pen of Prescott* On the right, a sea of mountains, rising higher and higher, till they culminate in the purple peaks of Assuay. Far to the west, 100 miles distant to the northeast, the peerless Cliim-orazo lifts its untrodden and unapproachable summit of everlasting snow far above its fellows. The great dome, 22,000 feet above the sea, dazzhngly reflects tne last blushes of the west?its crown of snow fringed with black lines, which are the steep, sharp edges of the projecting rocks. It was Deautiful to watch, when darkness had already descended upon the lower world, the mellowing tints of the lingering evening light on the summit, as the shadows crept upward. Gold, vermilion, violet, purple and scarlet followed a momentary sunset glory; then darkness ended the scene. The inhabitants are not worthy of the grand scenc presented to them. Signs of indolencc among the people are everywhere visible. Idle men. with an uncertain mixture of European and Indian blood, and sad-looking women, carrying a nude infant or a yellow water-jus, are everywhere seen in this country. Black hogs and lean poultry wander at will into the houses. Such is the picture of life in the villages and suburbs of the cities in various parti, of South America. Strange is the contrast, in nearly all tropical climes, between human poverty ana the natural wealth of the country. Her Wish Gratified. A correspondent of the Boston Journal, while at Vinitn, Indian Territory, was an eye-witness to an incident which he describes as follows: While waiting here for the train to take and leave passensei's, there occurred a little episode which caused considerable amusement for the writer and the others who overheard it. There was a fashionable young lady in the cars, who might have been journeying to lexas to spend tne season fit the well-known watering-places of San Antonio and Galveston. Since the train left Chetopa she had been eagerly on the lookout to get sight of an Indian. So soon as the train stopped she leaned out of the window and accosted a young man. who was busy with some baggage on the platform, with: "Sir! they say that this is an Indian town; are there any Indians in sight? Do, please, point out one for me, sir." He looked up and, hardly pausing from his work to reply, Baid: " I have the honor to be one. You can look at me, if you wish" The y6ung lady came back to her seat looking very much disconcerted, saying, in an undertone, to her friends, "Woll, I never! I thought Im.ians wore blankets and painted, and had bows and arrows, moccasins and beads." Agassiz's Power Over Animals. According to E. P. Whipple, in the June Harper's, the late Louis Ajpissiz had a wondrous power over animals. He would go up to the most obstinate of pigs, and after a few soft words and movement of his stick over the_ bristles of the crcature in the right direction, the pig would lift its head erect, its small eves would glisten with a vague U 'oilrl nAwtnin olmAdf rr?/ % lUlCllI^CIltTf It >VUU1U iciuaiu nijiuvab uiir tionless in ? kind of pleased surprise, and emit a grunt'of comfort.

And before I quit the theme of song ci _ and of singers, let me mention a glimpse tli 'that I caught before leaving London of cc one of the celebrities of the past. On sli leaving the home of Mme. Albani I hi crossed the street to look at the dwelling of Jenny Lind. The house stands tli back from the street, and a garden that o> must in summer be a very bouquet of m flowers and verdure extends in front of y< it. A bust of the great singer, life-size m and in marble, stands in a large bay pi window that fronts tile garden. And ar beside the bust sat an elderly lady, in a ! y< white mob-cap and white cashmero | tl: shawl, engaged in partaking of the ! yi afternoon cup of tea that forms so promi- j bi nent a feature in English social life. ' fa She was talking to some one in the i p< room, and as sh J turned to the window | m I saw again the face that I had last i it looked upon crowned with roses and 1 oi lighted with inspiration, on the stage of I T Tripler Hall, twenty-eight long years j b< nrvn ITnrlni* fho ^iafifrnrlnrr nan tlin TT1 UiiUVl Viiu uitnu^uiiiig %a*j/) vi*v ? fair hair, now plentifully streaked with m gray, was seen rolled back in precisely ai the same fashion as that which set all oi the girls in America to twisting ba- k ol their tresses in those bygone years. In ki other respects Jenny Lind has greatly th changed.

The increase of drunkenness in Grea i-itain, notwithstanding all the efforts ade to check it, is shown by the sta sties collected by the Select Committei the House of Lords on Intemperance rithin nine years the number of arrcsti r drunkenness more than doubled id the amount expended for intoxicat g liquors rose from ?81,222,171 in 1860 ?147,288,759 in 1876. According t( rof. Levi, the consumption of alcoho beverages rose from about four gallon tr head in 1856 to nearly four and i ilf gallons in 1875. The Select Com ittee of the Lords do not seek to exag rate the unfavorable inferences fron e facts that are offered; but hold thai e increase in the consumption -o luors may not imply an increase in tin imberof drunkards, and maybe parti? counted for by the increased use o cohol among temperate people.
