A lAfeH Twilight*. When the lingering hoars were laden * With the spoil* of a summer day, At^ a wreck of light and beauty On the far horizon lay; When the sky grew soft with twilight, Ere the stars began to throng, She passed me lightly humming A snatch of a schoo day song; And toe dream still moves my fancy. That I dreamed with a heart aglow, As she tripped away to the sunset, To the sunset long ago. As lovers part we parted. Where the winding paths divide, When the evening clouds were golden And the day grew dreamy eyed. Her face was bright with blushes, And her eyes with smiles and tears, While the sunlight f. 11 around us Like a dream of coming years, And the air seemed hushed with music That whispered soft and low, As she tripi-ed away to the sunset, To the sunset long ago. There’s a spot where s lent shadows, When the sun is brightest, lie; There's a gi ave ben', ath the maples, Where the w ild winds sink and sigh. And there I often wander, With a saddened heart, alone, When the dewy night-wind murmurs Of the noisy day that’s flown. And recall the drt ams I cherished Ere the world grew dark with woe, When they bore her away to the sunset, To the sunset long ago. There are shadows falling 'round me And the darkness soon will close, For my star is swif-ly sinking To the night from which it rose, And I often hear the whispers Of hovering spirit bands And the weird and airy music That floats from spirit lands. Yet each dream in my fancy lingers, That I dreamed so long ago, As I move away to the sunset, To the sunset’s dying glow. —P. McArthur in Detroit Free Press. TOO MUCH ALIKE. BY UET7T. DARK CHANDLER. *'Yes, ” assented Mr. Bird, with cvi- < ent appreciation, as he ran his fingers carelessly through his iron-gray hair; “yes, sir, as you observe, they are very pretty girls, and their likeness to each other, in every way, is truly wonder ful.” “The remark was made in answer to a tribute of respect which the writer had paid to a pair of young ladie?—I use the word “pair” advisedly, because they were twins—who had passed out of the office of Mr. Bird, one of the oldest and most respected members of the Middle sex bar. “I knew the mother of those girls and her sisters, and their parents, more than thirty years ago. The grandpar ents of those girls were clients of the man with whom I read law, and after ward their children became my clients, and now I am the legal adviser of both the grandchildren. I don’t think, how- ever. >se children ged wanted, and divid- “who ual asked what he allowed him in?’’ “I did,” said Mr. T—; “the poor fellow looked so cold and miserable I couldn’t send him out in this piercing wind without giving him a warm, and, besides, he says he has got some busi - ness with you. ” “Business with me!” “Yes, sir; I have a song I should like you to listen to.’’ Turner eyed him from head to foot, and then laughed outright. The miserable looking object at the stove began to grow uneasy, and begged to be allowed to play the air of his song, which he then unearthed from his rags and handed to the music publisher. Turner looked at it, and said: ‘‘Who wrote thh?” “I did, sir,” came from the rags. “Ycul Well, I’ll have it played over, and if it’s any good, I’ll give you something for it.” “I beg your pardon, sir; I’d prefer to play it for myself.” “What! you play? Well, bring him up to the piano-room when he gets warm, and we’ll humor him.” “In a few minutes the bundle of rn^s O was seated at the concert grand piano, and “Ever of Thee” was played for the first time by its composer, James Law- son. His listeners were electrified when they heard this dilapidated-looking tramp make the piano almost speak. His touch was simply marvellous, and his very soul seemed to be at his finger tips. When he had finished, he turned to his little audience and said: “I’d like to sing for you, but I have a terrible cold. I haven’t been in bed for five night-. I’m hungry, sir, and I feel I could not do it justice.” Tumor was almost dumb with amaze ment. The air would take; ho knew it would be a success, and he decided that this man had a history which, perhaps, might advertize the song. So he de termined to cultivate him, and in flat tery (as ho thought), pressed him to sing “just one stanza.” Lawson pro tested, but finally agreed, and if Turner was amazed when he heard him play, he was positively enraptured when that hungry voice, hungry with love, hungry physically, poured out in the sweetest of tenors the first stanza of the song in which his soul lived. It was the story of lost love, but he cherished it, and as he sang it was easy to see that he lived and Breathed only for that love. “Ever of Thee” has never been so sung since. But that trial verso made its success, and to the experienced publisher, Mr. Turner, it was decidedly apparent that he had secured a great song. Addressing Mr. T—, he said: “Mr. T—, take this man along; get him a bath, a shave, some decent clothes; in fact, fix him up like a gentleman, and very short time, it appeared to me, when the young laiy returned with pa pers in her hand; but instead of coming forward, she stopped and stared at me in the most embarrassing way. “ ‘Did yon find ihe papers?’ I asked, in my best society tones. “ ‘Sir!’ she exclaimed, with Jack Frost in her beautiful voice. *D.d I what?’ “ ‘Find the papers you went after.’ “ ‘What are you talking about? Who are you, sir, and pray what are doing here?’ “ 'The only thing I’m doing at pres ent, madam,' I responded, in tones quite as glacial as her own, ‘is leaving her© as soon as possible.’ “ 'Oh, thank ycu,’ she replied, with lofty urbanity, as the maddest young man in New Jersey slammed the door behind him. •‘Long afterward I learned that I had hardly driven away when the house keeper re-entered the room, and Miss Laura Van Sc river, with her dignity still at its full height, demanded: “ ‘Who was that horrid, impudent young man I found in the parlor just now?” “ ‘Why, he’s the young man Mr. Adair sent down for some papen that Miss ^laggie has gone to get. Where is he?’ “Miss Laura responded by dropping into a chair and exclaiming, with almost a scream: “ ‘Oh, my! haven’t I done it? Why, Mrs. Elkins, I actually drove the poor fellow out of the house. What in the world will I do? Don’t, for gracious sake, tell Maggie. I’ll make it up with Mr. Adair somehow, indeed I will.’ “The result was that Miss Maggie Van Scriver never heard of my cavalier treatment,and was for a time filled with •yonder as to what manner of business man I could possibly be, having driven fifteen miles to do an erran l and then gone oil without courtesy or per formance. “I nursed my wrath and kept it nice and warm until I reached home, and then poure l it all out to Mr. Adair, whose laughter was so long and uproar ious that I took on a fresh installment of virtuous indignation, and was about giving the old gentlemen a piece of my mind when he bade me shut up, while he wiped away the tears of hilarity and comforted me by saying: ‘Bird, my dear fellow, it is all my fault. I utterly forgot to tell you that the girls are twins, and so terribly alike that you can’t tell one of them from both.’ “The next day brought a wondering letter from Miss Maggie, asking what had caused my sudden and uncomfort able departure, and would Mr. Adair please tell her what it all meant, anyhow. “ ‘Now, here’s your chance, Bird,’ V 1 jran. handing the leU recognized me. But when I said, ‘How “Yes,” said Mr. Bird, with a queer smile, ‘ ‘except that I am the uncle of those two girls that Just left us and the mischievous Laura is their aunt.” Curlew* Mexican Beetle*. An industrious Mexican beetle in the window of a jeweler cn upper Broad way furnishes amusement to large crowds almost every hour of the day. It is a curious looking insect, and even persons well versed in natural history are unable at first sight to tell exactly to what variety it belongs. It looks like a cross between a big black spider and a tumble bug. The beetle has a ve'vety blue back, with the legs of a spider. Around the neck is a gold band attached to a thread that holds the insect to a miniature hu man skeleton. The beetle crawls up and down the skeleton with the regu larity of clock work. So precise are the movements that nearly every one mis takes it fpr a mechanical toy. The other afternoon Walter B. Price j and Senator Stadler spent some time [ pondering over the bee.le. “I don’t I believe a piece of mechanism could be as perfect as that,” exclaimed the Sena tor. Mr. Price, who is a great student of na’ural history, insisted that Nature had never constructed such a looking in sect, and as a result of the difference of opinion a wager was ma le. I accom panied the two gentlemen into the store to decide the wager. The jeweler ^aid that it was a live Mexican beetle. “It is a most curious insect,” he said, “and it is as busy as a bee. We have put on a false back of blue velvet to give it a brilliant appearance. We do quite a trade in them. Ladies wear them as charms to their chains. The Baroness Blanc set the fashion of wear ing them here in New York. I don’t know just how long they will live, but I know of several that are over five years of age. I am at a loss to‘ under stand how they exist, for they never eat or drink. We keep them in a show case with our walches. Some of them are very intellig-nt, and one of th’e clerks trains them to do a number of cute things. If he whistles they will come and crawl up his arm. They are as cunning as ’possums. They turn on their backs and pretend to be dead when they scent danger. They sell for five dollars and upward, according to their education.” Five dollars sounds rather cheap for a beetle trained like a circus animal aad dressed up like a Haytian field marshal, doesn't it?—New Yor.'c.

From George Kennan’s article in the Century on “The Convict Mines of Kara,” we quote the following: “Hard- labor convicts at Kara receive a daily hree pounds of four ounces of da you do, Miss Blank?’ she quickly re plied: “ ‘I’m well, Mr. Lawson, but I am surprised to hear you call me Miss Blank. When you left Brighton so suddenly I thought I should never see you again. You left no address, never called again, and-i-well, lam married.’ “ ‘To whom?’ I gasped. “ ‘To Mr. Prize,’ she replied, point ing at the same time to the gentleman with whom she had been dancing. “That ended my life. My Marie, my dream, was gone. I left the hall, went to a low gambling place, and in drink and gambling endeavored to kill my grief. It lasted but a little time, for in four months I was penniless. “Then came my trial. The men who played with mo shunned me. My friends shut their doors, and a few days later my last sovereign was gone. I was utterly stranded, homeless and un happy as it would be possible to make a human being. For nights I slept in the cabmen’s coffee houses; then I was considered a nu sance, and some door step served me for a bed. I pawned every trinket, decent suit of clothes— every tiling, and finally I spent three months in a workhouie under an as sumed name. “It was there the presence of Marie haunted me again. Ono day—Christ mas day—we were at dinner. Several rich people came to distribute among us such gifts as tobacco, warm clothing, etc. I was hungry and didn’t look at the visitors, when suddenly a voice I knew said to me: ‘My good man! which would you prefer, some warm clothing or some pipes and tobacco?’ I looked up. It was Marie. I rushed from the table out into the fields, and there I was found, hours after, insensi ble. “In my bed, there in that workhouse hospital, I wrote the words of the song you hear I me sing today. Then I got well, aad sick of the life, I left the place and became night watchman at some new building! they were putting up in Aldersgate street. ‘While there the music of my song came to me. I got a scrap of manuscript music paper and jotted it down, and for a time I was happy. My old friends often passed me at night, jolly and careless, little dreaming that James Lawson was the poor night watchman who answered their indolent questions. “Often, when all was still, I poured out my soul in this little song, and after a while the night gamins used to come and listen to me. It pleased them. To me it brought back the memory of a dead love and a ruined life. But you me tiring of my story.

This ration seemed to me ample (in quantity, but lacking in variety and ivory deficient in vegetables. The breaq, which I tasted, was perhaps as good ps that eaten by Russian peasants generally ; but it was very moist and stickcy; and pieces taken from the center of the loaf could be rolled back into dough in one’s hands. The meat which I saw weighed out to the convicts after it had been boiled and cut up into pie^s about as large as dice, did not have s^Bnviting appearance, and suggested toKny mind small refuse scraps intended for use as soap-grease.

As a type ho was evolved by these roads to meet their ex igencies. He was known on the great Santa Fe trail, on the old Oregon trail, on all the historic pathways that have carried westward the story of a restless and a determined people. The rail roads have driven him from the main lines of travel; he is now merely the link Letwcea them and scattered settle ments difficult of access. When the systems of ‘feeders’ to the main track are completed, his work will be done. He will have left no record among songs of the people or lyrics of the way, and in fiction, oddly enough, this most en during and silent of beings will survive —through the immortal rhetoric of his biographers—as one whose breath is heavy with curses.” United Through a Pawned Ring. There are some curious romances in life. There’s a whole novel in a little incident told me some time ago. Many years ago a young Englishman of good family, who had only a small portion, came on: to Colorado to seek his for tune. He was engaged to a girl at home, and he had parted from her with the usual hopes and tears and protesta tions. For a year or two he wrote regularly, but he did not seem to be getting on or making his fortune. At last his letters stopped. They thought he must be dead. Three or four years passed, and nothing was heard of him. Then the lady, with some friends, came out on a visit to California. On the way they made inquiries, but nobody in the place in Colorado which he had left could tell what had become of him. He had dLappeared suddenly, and they did not know whether he had been killed by an accident, shot or had sim ply left for other lands. The party ar rived in San Francisco, and, promen ading Kearny street, the lady suddenly stopped and began to stare at a ring in a pawnbroker's window. It was the ring she had given him. She knew it. She went in and asked to look at it. It was the ring byond a doubt, with her ! initials and his engraven on it. From ! that clew, although the ring had long been in the pawnbroker’s possession, they traced him down to Southern Cal ifornia and letters brought him to them. He had been unfortunate, and, dngust- ed with his failure in his career, he had hidden himself out of sight. I suppose they are quite happy now.
