TO-MORROW. In the downhill of life when I And I'm deem. ing May my lot no less fortunate be l'han a snug elbow-chair can aftord for reclin ing, And a oot that o'erlooks the wide sea ; With an ambling pad pony to pace o'er the lawn, While I carol away idle sorrow, And blithe as the lark that each day hails the dawn, Look forward with hope foq to-morrow. With a porch at ry door noth for shelter and shade, too, As the sunshine or rain may prevail ; And a small spot of ground for the use of the spade, too, With barn for the use of the itail; A cow for my dairy, a dog for my game, And a purse when a friend wants to borrow ; I'it envy no nabob his riches or fame, Nor what honors await him to-morrow. From the bleak northern blast may my cot be completely Secured by a neighboring hill; And at night may repose steal upon me more swttly By the sound of a murmuring rill; And while peace and plenty I find at my board, With a heart free from siukneas and sorrow, With my friends may I share what to-day may afford, And let them spread the table to-morrow. And when I at last throw off this frail covering Which I've worn for three-score years and ten, Ou the brink of the grave I'll not seAk to aeep hovering, Nor my thread wish to spin o'er again ; lIut my face in the glass I'll Rerenely survcy, And with smiles count each wrinkle and fIu row, As this old worn out stuf, which in threadbare to-day, May become overlast ing ;o-morrow. War. CotlIxe, VICTIMS OF OPIUM. A AIGR LIFE rENSATION PuOM nOND}ON WBY A MAiIAGE WAS BjOKpN OFF A1nU11-:irY. liulon Life vouches for the truthful ness in every particular of the following narrative, the names alone being with held "Very recently a rising young plhysiian in the West End of London was sun1 moned to attend an ugent cane. As 1 hie carriag-e drew up at, the door, he obseIrved, that there was an awning and a ear pet extending fron the portal to thn curb, and on reaching the hall he fonul that the bcuse was thronged with peoplo in evening dress. The mIe'.enger, speak ing to a white-haired military-looking gentleman who sat alone before the fin place, said "Sir IIugh, this is Dr. Fielding," an d withdrew. The gentleman addressed rose from hi. chair, and as he stood in the blazing light of the sea-coal fire lie seemeud a man in whose splendid physieal presence the Doctor at once recognized the person of at famous naval comnmander, whose deedI of personal prtwess in the Paeitlc and in the China Seus had won for him somt. thing more than a national reputation. ''Be seated, Doctor," he said, pointing to a chair. "My daughter was to have been married to-day. I have sen! for you because I know your reputation for the treatment of net vous diseases is very high." ''My p)rofessionial skill is at yomur ser vice," said the Doctor. "Your answer is frank and to the po'int," returned the Baronet. ''The mar riago of my daughter has not taken p)lace. To-day she paussed from a state of vivae. ity and ha'ppiness into one of stupoCr. All our efforts to arouse her have provedI unavailing. In order that you may comi prebend the entire situation, I shiall bie torce'd to detail somne of myi own) and oef rmy family history. Her rnother was ai native of the East Indies. I married herv after a brief conrtshlp, when I was a Flag Lieutenanut in the East India sqiuad-e iou, many years ago. She was tho daugh ter of a missionar-y who had giv-en over is ze'abous ambition to convert thme heL then of Burmnah, aud had gone into t rad. In a short time his fortume had reached ani inIcredib)le amnounlt. There were vaigno rumo ra that the greater part of it had been gathered by tran)sactions in opwum. The young lady herself was beautiful arnd talented, aund the sole heiress to her fa - thaer's enIormousI wealth. Among thL' naunmy suitors who esme I was the suec eessfl one, anid our wedding in nmay I". spects was a remarkable affair. Our onlyh child was born some years later, ;in'd shortly afterward I wvas ordered to an air 'luous sier-ice in thme Corean waters. On its 'omfpletion I returned to England to ti.nd my wife broken in health, aind the nectim of the most piainful complication of disorders. It was necessary to allay her pain, and to do this morilia was re sortal to. She lingered on and died. Be fore her death, she to'ld me in a lueid mo ment that she had learned the use of opium in her childhood, and that while ahe had never become a slave to it, she bad nevertheless taken it with regularit y, and she had no doubt that her illness r'e. suIted from the habit. In this view the physician who at tended her concurred. Now, sir, my child appears to me to hauve been using some drug. I have no reason tr believe that she is a slave to the habit of taking opium, in any of its hortible forms, but myheartis burdened with the gravest apprehensions. Should you dis cover that she is, the wedding ceremony which is only postponxed, nAallI never taeke place. The l>nmdegroom is the pon of my dearest friend, and I can never permit that he shall have the prospect of a life of misery, such as mine has been ; tho more so, for the reason that there is no way to ensmoe happiness for her." - They passed out through the hall, up the stairoase, encountering the guests who had been bidden to the mnarriage feast taking their departure. Some (Cf them ave ooks of curiosity, but all of them had a word of sympathy or a pres sure of -the hand to bestow upon the stricken father as he passed bv. On reaching the landing the Earonet stopped for a moment to recover hi.' self possession, and then gently opening a door, ushered the Doctor Into thepa tient's chamber. The sight that greeted the Doctor's eye embraced asa Its central feature the form of a young lady elad in a dress of whiti satin, and lying on a bed. A bridal vai, of delicate lace trailed its luxuriant length over the back of a chair, on which alao hung a wreath of orange blossoms. Ina a moment the man of soience saw that the father's worst fears were justi fied. A mere glance at the swollen eye lids, whose unnatural yellow color was beightened by the dark-blue veins that traversed theth, showed that the young lady was not only the victim of a larger po tiotan she had been accustomed totk,but that the custom itself was old , DQt," asked the Baronet, seus h UfefsepCe Pro$er remedies were administered s) uocessfully that in a few minute. the victim was aroused from the state of coma into which she had fallen, and brought to her feet. Then began the heroic treatment. She was beaten with hands, pricked with sharp points, and subjected to repeated shocks from a gal vanic battery, while her stomach was at tacked with the most powerful emetics, and all the while she was kept walking up and down the room, despite her pleadings to be allowed to lie down and close her eyes. It took many hours before the im mediate danger passed away. Then the Doctor sought the Baronet in his library. and .m(id without preface: "Your daughter, sir is a confirmed opium-eater; not only has she used the diug in that form, but she has taken it sub-cutaneously." "This is horrible news," moaned tie father. "Cannot this frightful habit be checked and finally stopped? If you can stop it, or if you think you can, re linquish your career to devote yoursel: to the task, and I will give you my whole fortune; nay, even my life." Dr. Fielding shook his head gloomily. No," he said, " science has not donc that. Even in Paradise appetite reignet and ruined." That night the Doctor pored over his bo()k., and finally, as if possessed o some new impulse, he hastened to hi; laboratory, and selecting from its shelve a bottle, carefully measured out a portioi of morphia. He was about to condue an experiment of which he himself wat to be the subject. It does not require many months fo opium to assert its sway. Within a yona the subject had becomo the ruler, ani the student was enthralled probabl3 beyond the power of escape. Meanwhilt he devoted himself to the case of th Baronet's daughter. Ho sacrificed hi: own career, shunned his old associates gave up all practice, and either passe< lis time by her side, or in the retire nient of his own rooms, dreaming in blissful, fateful sleep. into the morbid brain of tho T)oeto came visions of lands in nS oso glorion; confines a goddess dwelt and ruled. 1nt< his heart tier, canie a new sensuttion I pleasuire and pain. And Ibs'tted 1bv I he drug, or wrnpped in the slumbers <t ita creation, one thought alone pulsated in his brain. He was in love with his patient. And for a time his eflorts wer< er.)wned with encouraging results 1)evoting all his attention to her case, l< at last chceked her eraving for the drug anid loosened the fetters of habit, thougli unfortituately, without. being able ti l)renk them. The father, noticing th firat results, was transported with joy but seeing that the improvement was no permanent, became the prey of a renewed anxiety. Ho questionled the Doeto closely. The answers gave him no sati;" faction. Sid experienc had given bin a keen insight. One day the though flashed upon him that, the )octor himsel betrayed symptoms of being an opiun slave. He bluntly put the question. " Do you take opium?" The 15octor's pallid face, his trenblinf nerves, his lustreless eyes, gave one an swer but the honor of the ma ll uad< him pause before he opened his lips-_ and lied. He had been devoting so mtiel labor and time to the study of this case he said, that his health had felt some il effects; but. lie had now become evel more hopeful than ever, and he felt tha the future was bright with almost as sured hope. He said it was clear tha he father humself had become theC pre,' ofI his uuufortunanitely morbtid surroundi imgs, and that he sorely needed chang of air. "Ini short, you should go on" sen~ voyage, hope for the best for you <:imghiter, and when you return you wi] rveeive good news. I assure you tha you will.' Reassured by this conlfidenit tone am mnniier, the Baronet acted upon D)r Fielding's suggestion. He was away fo a considerable time, and being con tiniu ally adivised of thme rap)idly p)rogressini recol ery of his child, re.tiuned at last improved in health and( full of joyou auitiipations. His arrival was tinite nmi expueted. Th'le butler adnmitted h im, bui lie p)ushmed rapidly b)y antd entered th roonm where it was indicated he woiul, fid hisi child.

[From the Carson Appeal.l Years ago, in the early days of the a Comstoelt excitement, Pat Holad now al Postmaster and Coroner in a little town 0 in Cachise County, Arizona, was the s< most respected man in the State. He w had the reputation of being a dead slot fi with the pistol. Of course this accent- Y >lishmient made him feared by everybody, o and there was no man in Virginia sobold li as to cross him in public. Pat acquired 1 his repntation by shooting on the stage, iI and could knock an applo off his son's v head with an accuracy and carelessness li which combined to inpreus the public v far more than the manner in which the A painstaking William Tell performed the I feat with an arrow. Finally Pat seoured li a young lady who would allow an applo 0 to be shot off her flaxen roll, and when 11 Pat executed the feat h would throw ' his keen eye at the girl and then roll his i orbs up into the gallery, and without 1 looking at his mark, send a bullet through K the fruit. This was put, down on the I bills as "Pitt Holland's psycological feat e of shooting from memory,'' and drew 8 erowded houses. One night he adver tisedl to shoot apples from twelve young I ladies' heads in succession, and aniy tako I one look ut the crowd. Piper's Opera a House was packed with men at it dollar S a head, and when the curtain ro ,se twelve f immaeulate ballet diieers were in line fi along the wings, each with an apple On < her head. Pat stepped to the footlights i and htowed amid ttemendouls applht;4e. e He had it six-shooter in each had 141, and s ithe stage manager annosuced that he ( would shoot the last six aples with his I left hand. Castinfg his eye along the ! linve, he took a long Ireat Ii, a ste:ly pesi. tiOll, andt([ then facel the iudienice.

'Tl'o cap t i elii4 i two apples got htigl"d together :me, re- ( taiinid dangling from thte idge ef a2 sene in plain sight of the itdience. The 1 trick was it once apparent. Each apple had a fine thread attached, and at tho v shot was jerked quickly out of sight. The < aupes behind the scenes got coiifused at P'at's rapid firing, and Ia+lf the allples i :iisappeared before the time. Two were i maiitched off simultaneously, and the j strings overbipping in the :,ir brought the apples together, where they hung to c the edge of the scone, thlt sitrings being on oach side. This ended H[olland' < career as a publ lie soloist with the pistol, anld the public gradually Came to look upon him as an ordinary mortal.
