Some lone and pleasant dell, Some valley in the west, Where free from toil and pain, The weary soul may rest ? The loud wind dwindled to a whisper low, And sighed for pity as it answered “No.” Tell me, thou mighty deep, Whose billows ‘round me play, Knowest thou some favored spot,, Some island far away, Where weary man may find The bliss tor which he sighs— Where sorrow never lives, And friendship never dies ? TLe loud waves, rolling in perpetual flow, Stopped for awhile, and sighed to answer “No.” And thou, serenest moon, That with such lovely face, Dost look, upon the earth, Asleep in night’s embrace Tdll me in all thy round Has not thou seen some spot Where miserable man May find a happier lot! Behinda cloud the moon withdrew in woe, And voice sweet, but sad, responded “NO.” Tell me, my secret soul, Oh ! tell me, Hope and Faith, Is there no resting place - From sorrow, sinand death ? Is there no happy spot Where mortals may be blest, Where grief may find a balm, And weariness a rest ?

In fact, it is so thoroughly accepted that the horseless carriage has come to stay, that scores of manufacturers are already engaged in turning out these machines of many and varied types. Their first use will of course come in the cities where there are good roads, and for such purposes as light expres- sage. ‘The great value of the horselegs carriage, as compared with the old style, is its far greater cheapness. The use of horses in our cities, for instance, is practically forbidden to all except the rich.

The snake was a bull moceasin about six feet long ana two and a half inches in diameter. The eel was a common yellow one, but ot uncommon size. When first seen the two slick combatants were in shal- low water, each standing erect with tails tvisted round roots. The snake had evidently attempted to swallow its smaller opponent but had found him a slippery and wiry foe. They soon came together again, however, and for water Was siae-whecler. minutes the if by a cork-screw shaped several churned as They formed a column on the water and each tried to squeeze the life out of the other.

BY MARY DWINELL CHELLIS. ee _& “All aboard!” shouted the conduc- tor; the signal for starting was given, and the long train moved slowly out from the depot. At the ‘last moment a young man sprang upon the platform of a car and, entering, looked around for a seat. He was notone to attract attenuon, yet he evidently considered himself ne conseqoence. I watched him, that I might learn, it possible, the secret of his self catiefaction. Surely, no sane person could regard his small head, expression- less face, discolored teeth, and yellow moustache as worthy of admiration ; neither could the sight of his coarse, rough hands inspire him with vanity. Yet there was no mistaking the fact that he was vain. Directly I saw that he was occupied with business which ssemed to him of importance ; and— The secret was out. He could chew tobacco and ex- pectorate, as if to the manner dorn. It was not much of which to be proud; and the accomplishment cer: tainly did not improve his personal ap- pearance. But itmay have cost him many an hour of nausea and unrest_ many a hardly earned dollar, and some, thing of intellectual force. He had paid the price. Why should he not enjoy the consciousness of possession ! I turned from him with disgust; yet I know that thousands of boys through- out the length and breadth of our land are making daily sacrifices, that they may, in the years to come, claim at least this one mark of ‘distinction—the abi]- ity to chew tobacco. I hope none of the readers of the Banner willthus sacrifice themselves. Don’t do it, boys. There is something better for you. You know there is. You have clear heads and brave hearts ; and, if you will it thus, you may be counted among the truest, noblest, grandest men of the age—The Banner. If the average traveler only feared wine or brandy as he does water, it would be a great gain to the cause of temperance. No matter what part of the world he is in, he seems to have an idea that the only really dangerous ‘drink in that vicinity is the water. If an American travels in Europe, he is commonly told by his fellow-travelers that the water there is very bad; it is quite unsafe to drink it ;he had better take wine or brandy as a beverage. If the European travels in America, he learns the same thing about water here. A New Englander ‘going west or south is warned against the water of that: re- gion. He must take strong drinks, or die. Nothing in New England, on the other hand, so perils a Western or Southern man’s life as pure spring wa- ter. Green apples, wiltered cucumbers, baked beans are innocuous ; but any- thing which will bring the “drunk” is the safest thing in the world for the man or woman of delicate constitution ! During the Centennial year, visitors to Philadelphia were made to underrtand that the water of the Schuylkill was not safe to drirk. More recently, in Chicago, at the Columbian Exposition, visitors were similarly taught to dread the water ot Lake Michigan. In both places it was deemed necessary to take freely of beer, or wine, or at least to water. Occasionally cne of the visi- tors hand satistuctocy evidence, feom his put a little brandy ér whiskey int. the | ed | gun bo cig nQee soon bold, , | : i -| the exhibits, drinking several glasses of een | lemonade, and making a lunch of ‘fried } chicken and ice cream, he had @ sense of faintness with twinges of pain, which he was satisfied, was the result of his un- wisely drinking « glass of water of the region. He “ought to have known better.” He “wouidn’t try it again.” He would thence-forward stick to the | trastworthy beer or brandy. If Solo- mon had only said, “Look not upon cold water when you can get anything stronger to drink,” “what a lot of fol- lowers he would have had ! eaten Piantation Philosophy.
