THERE IS NO DEATH.
Th^re is mo dentil! Tiie stars go down
| To risf up >n some fairer sliore;
And bright in Heaven's jeweled crown
They shine for evermore.
Tliere is no dentli! T!ie dust we tron 1
Shall change beneath the summer showers
| To golden grain to mellow fruit,
Or rain-bow tinted flowers.
The granite rocks disorganize
To fc*i the hungry mos? they bear,
Tiie forestlenvcs drink daily life
From out the viewless air.
Th',ro is no death ! The leaves may fall,
LTho lowers may fade anil pus* awn)-;
They Oftlj wait, through wintry hours,
The coming of the May.
There is no death! An angel form
Walks o'er the earth with silent tread:
He bears our best loved things away,
And then we call them dead."
He leaves our hearts,all dessolate.
Ho plucks ouy fairest, sweetest flowers :
Transplanted into bliss they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird-like voice, whose joyous tones
Made glad these scenes of sin and strife,
Sings now au everlasting song
Ainid the trees of life.
And where he sees a smile too bright,
Of heart too pure for taint and vice,
He bears it to that world of life,
To dwell in Paradise.
Born Into that undying life,
-Th?y leav?us to come again :
With joy we* welcome them the same,
Except in sin and pain.
And ever i?cnr us, though unseen.
The dear immortal spirits tread ;
For all the boundless universe"
Is life?there arc no dead.

AS FATE OUDAINED.
A woman, outwardly fair and beautiful
as the flowers in Iter hand ; a woman.
of whose inward loveliness these
were no extravagant type.'
So I thought as I came upon her in
the summer-house, fashioning bouqui ts.
But her beauty was naught to me; !
X had sought her only to say :
'I am going to be married Gysie.'
Koses and lilies; fresh, fragrant, and. ;
uodcr htr deft fingers, blending with j
wondrous grace. She did not start ; j
flic diil not evince surprise ; slic quietly J
fastened a flower arid said?
'I congratulate you, Hugh.'
I was f?ft2ii(?'l Uyaio was not wont
to be short. I stood silent, scarce knowiug
whether to be displeased at the
brevity of her answer, or pleased with
her earnest tone. Hut f-lie supplemented
it quickly placing her little white hand
in uiiuc.
'Hugh,' she said, this i? a surprise 1
for mo , but I am very, very glad. I
am glad because 1 believe that you havo
based your choice in love. You see my
flowers? What bott-r can 1 wis'n th::?
that your mutual affection may he as
warui-bucd as tlicc lillies, and?and?'
Tho white hand slipped away : she
paused, apparently ia!?iit on replacing
a rebellious bud.
'And as true as your own bhic eyes,
Gysie,' I murmured, boru of my young
bye.
'If you like the smile, yes.' she replied,
smilingly, ami ill eniiljugly she
listened whilst rapturously I p?u;ei
the stc-rv of my betroth d. revealing to
her, as I would have done to no one
t>Is<\ the depth of my enraptured soul.
for, to urn a iil^c aisfcr was Gysie ;
from childhood I regarded her a a such ;
and though an odd impulse had Jprcapted
uje to keep my happiness for a few !
Jays after my return horn'.' a secret
from her, when T revealed if, I could
hold nothing hack.
'I am so i*l.i.I. Ilusrh ; so very t'la 1,' j
she repeated, softly, when I paused
Tlio bouquets lay uni.hod in her basket,
aud ere 1 could answer, she tiuu 5 e. !
A bit provoked at her unexpected '
departure : a Lit foolish ! IVIt tco. She
was bored '.v<r>e, she hurried away to
laugh over my extravagant lovers soul.
It had had a lofty flight, i knew, bgt
?this was unlike Gy-ie.
Still. she had never seen me thus.
She hud chosed ihe .'east offensive role,
I reflected as I wen? home; west to
jhower passionate kisses on the lair
face that smiled up from, my dressing
table ; to leu! upon the letter waitiug
there.
How fond my eyes drunk in tho lov?

Suddenly, there came a blank. Pays
pissed, and no letters came to my table.
Despite my repeated inquiries, I found
no answer there. I?ut the blank only
made nic cling to my passion with daily
increasing trust and hope. So, still the
sequel came.
It was a tempestuous, rainy evening
T walked homeward, part Gysie's garden,
to see the wind beating down the
roses ; to see the la?t lillies bent, wilted
to the ground. I walked homeward,
with no presentiment that so, even
were my hopes.
The lamp-light rested on the smiling
picture; it flickered gaily on the cnvci
. i :.i.
It'J'U Ut'UlUt*.
A moment's pause, an instinctivc
shook ; then I tore it open with a joy.
ful cry.
It were easy to read :
'I have made a mistake, Ilagh* I j
believed that I loved you, bat I have
changed. T have no excuse, save t!> >t
I love another, and so, must, break my
<>ri<r.igcm> nt with you. You wou'd not
have it otherwise V
That was all.
I stood a minute,spell bound, clenching
the dainty message i*i my hand. A
minute, bewildered ; then, with a sud- |
den, frenzied niovcmeiil I struck the
smiling picture with a fore: that hurled
it. shivered beyond recognition, at my
feet.
I could have chosen no better calming
medium; without thi* effort my
fn nzy sank; there remained to me but
a v.igue sense of suffering?a vaja'o
'on.'ing fir she sympathy I was sm>3 to
find.
And, instit/ctively. half meehancally,
I strode foitb into tho tetnp-8t, never
pausing till I stood in her presence,
my hands still clenching the letter, my
anguish w tit ten unmistakably in my :
face.
She stait-'d involuntarily. Vgain
lier little white hand sought mine.
''Hugh," she said, "dear Hugh,
what ill news?"

I poured forth my bitter nnsnish as
unreservedly as I once had done my
joy.
sat calmly listening, calmly;
witnessing my storm of woe. Still
calmly, when pausing, I b ut my head
upon her hand, awaiting her soothing
words.
Then, softiv, she spoke my name :
Hugh!"
Strange lionr for the revelation, yet ;
in that hour it came. Came, despite
my own k?cn suffering, with a con vie*
tion overpowering as sud len; with a i
c uivieti hi as overpowering as sudden ; I
with a certainty not gainsaid.
No. 1 did n?t mistake, I felt the
little hand tremble; I heard the voice
that would not be silenced, speaking in
Inr own. One poor word, but in it site

Doge on th'j Entile Field.
i The suggestion of tho TJ'rhr Zr.illing
I is that :i race of dogs should bo attached
i to armies in their campaigns, or at least
| to the corps of ambulance service attcn!
ding up ui them. an 1 that after every
j ba'tlo the dog3 in question should be
sent forth to range over the field of battle
in march of tho?o wretched wounded
soldiers who have not been killed
outright, hut. who have hidden them..
selves in some refuge, and after figuring
in the list of "missing" men too
often perish miserably before any relief
can find them out. It seems that the
i idea of employing dogs in this way is by
, no means a new one, but was brought
: forward two years ago at Dresden,
j when some do28 qualified for this pur!
pes- were shown in an exhibition, j
| Since that time experiments have been
made by m-ans of crossing t! e St. IJern
:ml with a view to obtaining t!ic more
suitable breed, and a very satisfactory
result is s iiil to have been arrived at
by the German fanciers. The precise
: mode of employing the animals on their ,
bcneQeient mission is described in the
Vienna pan?r, which explains that the
doe is furnished witli a leather collar j
and plate, having marked upon it hisnumber
and the division cf the army j
to which he is atraehe.l. and the Geneva
Cross. To this cellar is suspended a
small leathern bag. containing pencil |
and slip of paper, and even a little Ian- j
torn in case of his being sent out at j
night. The wounded man. upan being ;
found, opens the b ig and writes his
nam if he ran upm th* paper, together
with the nature of his injuries
j and on the leturn of the animal to the

guidance to the spot where the sufferer
is concealed.?Land and Water.

NUMBER 52
Fooling With a Quaker.
He was a peaceable inok;n<? man.
with a (juiet looking liormv attached to
an unattractive l. okiiur sh igh, with utr
anstentalious bells, lie wore a wide
riuitmd lint, shad-belli-.d cont, and he
dro"c easily down (he South Easton hill,
journeying from Hacks oouuly to the
land of Northampton. He was observed
hy a fellow of the species 'rough' whom
much loafing had made impudent, and
who lifted up his yawp.
'S a-n-y. hat; where arc you going
with that man ?'
'Verily, friend, I journey beyond the
river,' merely responded the Quaker,
'and thither trootli mv hat. also '
'.Hold up on J take a fellow along, can't
you !' called out the man of wrath.
'Nay. friend, my business and inclination
forbid it.'
'I'll soon fix that.' and the fool ran
fownvd and jumped on the runner. ,
Verily, friend, if thee insist on gettiyg
into my vehicle, I will even help
thee,' and the man of peace reached out
a right hand as resistless as an oyster
dredge. It caught the youth around
the throat worse than a four-year-old
diphtheria, jerked him into the sleigh,
and slammed him down ainoug the straw,
where he got tramped upon by a pair of
No. 13 cowhides until he thought he
had got caught in a shower of piledrivers.
Finally he got a kick that
lifted him clear over the side of the
sleigh, and ruu his head into a bank by
the roadside, where he dwindled down
into a heap like a gum shoe discouraged
by a street car, and uiarmored as he
rubbed his ensanguined nose in the
snow : I

Wasto and Want.
Either man. must be content with
poverty all his life, or else deny himself
some luxuries and save to lay the*
b?se of independence in the future.
But if a man defies the future, and
spends all ho earns (whether his earnings
be one or ten dollars a day) let
him look for lean and want at some
future time?for if will surely come, no
matter what lie thinks. To save is absolutely
the only way to get a solid fortune;
'here is no other certain mode.
Those who shut their eyes and ears to
these certain facts will be forever poor,
and in their obstinate rejection of truth
mayhap will dio in rags and filth. But
no ! They take a sort of recompense In
cursing fortune. Great waste of breath.
Tli. y might as wcil curso the mountains
or the eternal. For I can tell them
fortune docs r.ot give away good and
substantial goods. She sells it to the
highest bidder, to the hardest and wisest
worker for the bloom. Mm never
make so fatal a mistake as when they
think themselves creatures of fate; 'tis
the sheerest folly in the world. Every
man may make or uiar himself, which
ever he may choose. Fortuuc for those
who by dilligence, honesty, frugality,
place themselves in a position to grasp
iiold of fortune whou it appears in view
T':-! best evidence of frugality is the
five dollars or more standing in your;
name at the saving* bauk. The best ev-;
idcncc of honesty consists in dilligence j
and frugality.

An intelligent Parmer of Dog Moines
County has invented a henephone, modeled
on the principle of tho telephone,
by which one ebl reiiablc hen occupying
tho central llice in the henery r^its
on all the nests about the establishment,
leaving other fowls lVt.e to lay eggs,
scratcn and cackle. As soon as a new
nest contains tho full complement ofi
eggs, it is connected with the central
office by a copper wire, ami the business
is settled. The only trouble with the
machine is that it sit-' so tt hatches
out tin j w rue tain nest eggs with the
I others, so that one chick in every nest
: is born with glass eyes, and tho tanner
has to buy and train a dog to lead it
around. This makes it cgp?n?tve.?

I Paradise among: the Pagrans. jl
Japan seems fob? a country where jflP'
men never lose their temper, where wo- ' > > t
men and children are alway9 treated f j|
with gentleness, where common laborers
bow and beg pardon if they happen acs
eidcntally to jostle eachother, where
popular sports do not inflict suffering
upon the lower animals, where a paper
screen is a sufficient protection against
fill inlrncir.n nvnn thfit nf Kurfrlnr* find
where clenlincss takes such a hish rank
among social virtues as to be carried almost
to iudicrous excess. Japaueso manners
are certainly very different from
our own, but the Japanese area thor- JB|
oughly well bred people. 'Manners arc - :.y/* J-t.*
not idle;' urbanity, gentleness and consideration
for others are not mere superficial
accomplishments ; when such national
characteristics are found combined
with courage, energy and intellect,
it may surely be acceptcJ as an ev>
dancc of an advanced civilization. Foreigners
after living in the interior of
Japan for a considerable time, on returning
into 'civilized socioty,' have even
stated that the manners of their own
countrymen appear to them vulgar and
almost brutel, accustomed, as they havo
bpeome, to a courtesy singularly free
from scrvilo or uierceuary considerations,
A Destructive Earthquake. . .
During the recent heavy earthquake fcj
shocks in Venezuela, the town of Oua,
about thirty-five miles south-west of
Caracas, was entirely destroyed. A terrible
shock was suddenly felt at about
8:30 in the evening. The ground seemed
to roll like sea waves, throwing down BJ
the walls of the houses, crushing many,
and entangling others in the debris. .
The roofs were made of light material,
which caught fire from the lamps which ?
were overturned, and a general confia- ^B
gratiou ensued. In vain the poor nnfor- 7^*
tunates who had escaped tho falling
walls endeavored to gain open ground.
The flames spread rapidly, and the people
on the outskirts of the village were
unable to otter any assistance. Tlio
shrieks of the dying wore to be heard
for a long time above the crackling of
the flames. Fully three hundred lives '
were lost at Cua that night. Repetitions Jj
of tho earthquake were looked for, and
those who had esoaped were in a con- .Sm
slant state of terror for a number of * .
days. Word was sent to Caracas, and
subscriptions were made in all the largo .
towns of the neighborhood to aid the S
sufferer?. The President of Venezuela
started for tho scene, and on the way j
was thrown from his carriago, owing to
the roughness of the road, but was not
seriously injured. Siiocks were fc't all f
over the country for several days.
Not at Home.
A sign on a house on Crogao street,
Detroit, informs tho public that washing
is done there, and it was quite natural
that a mechanic working near by
should take a bundle undor his arm and
call there, and ask a boy on the steps :
Bub, is the washmoman ir. V
'No sir,' was tho prompt reply, 'there's
no washwoman here at all.'
"Jiut that sigu says that washing is
dooe here,' remarked the man.
'Suppose it does,' remarked the boy
in a higher key, 'suppose it does ? A.
lady may become the victim of unfortunate
corcumsfanccs to such an extent
that she is willing to wash and irou
shirts and sheets, but that doesn't mako
a washwoman of her. docs it ?'
'I thought it did.'
'Humph ! If you draw a buggy
down to the shop to be repaired that
doesn't make a horse of you, does it.**
The man was silently turning away * \L
when the boy said :
'If you want to find the lady of unfortunate
circumstances, go round to the -
.ide door, but tho washwoman is not at ^
lorne.'
Manners.
Young folks should bo mannerly. IIow
to be so is the question. Many a good
boy and girl feel that they can not behave
themselves in the presence of company.
They feel timid, bashful and selfdistrustful
the moment they are ad*
dressed by a stranger, or appear in company.
There is but ono way to get over
this feeling and acquire graceful and
easy manners, that is to do the best
they can all the time at home as well as ^
abroad. Good mauocrs are not so much
the result of arbitrary teaching so much
as acquired from habit. T^icy grow upon
us by use. We must be courteous, agree*
able, civil, kind gentlemanly and wo- a
manly at liuuto, nud then it will becom?
a kind of second nature so everywhere.
A coarse rough manner at houic begets
a habit roughness which we can not lay
off if we try when we go among strangers.
The uu>st agreeable people we have
ever knowu in company were those who?
are perfectly agreeable at home. Home
is tho school for all the best things, cs-.
pccially good manners.
A large car denotes generosity. A
small car denotes fickleness. A deformed
car denotes a freak of nature. A cropped
ear denotes a freak of justice. An car
that has been partially masticated is a
sign that a Chicago editor has visited
St Louis, li'earsareof unequal size
it is a sure sign that the intellect is not
well-balanced. An ear pointed at tho
. top is sharp.
