The world of faith will dower.
The lamps wo light are but the stars of promise
Tho falntos'Ircflcx ot a d'stant sun

Tho past was but tho preface to tho story
In which tho romanco of our Uvea Is wrought)
Tho deeds that win Imperishable glory
Lire scarcely In our thought.
Whato'er we Co falls short ot our Intenlln; ;
The . tructure lacks the beauty we design :
And tortured angels, to their home ascending
Depart, and leave no sign.
By all tho doubts and trials that so rex us,
By all the falls and failures that annoy,
By all the ctrange allusions that perplex us
And yield no fruit of Joy,
We know that unto mortals Is not given
The strength or knowledgo that Is yet In storo
Tor us, ero yet wo walk tho streets of heaven
And dream of heaven no more.
The heart of earth lias secrets yot wlthholdon,
That wait the dawnlnz of somo future day,
When angel hands from sepulchre so golden
Shall roll tho stone away.
Man has not touched tho zenith ot his creation
The godllko thought that tilled Jehovah's mind
Has had In him but feeble revelation,
Uncertain, undefined.
Tho days wherein Time reaches Its fruition,
Willi moments weighted with no vain regret,
Those days ot which the bouI has sweet prevision
Draw nigh, bnt are not yet.

Miscellaneous.
THE HAUNTED MAN,
Iii n whisper, mind in the gentlest, the
most sighing of whispers I tell you this.
In fear and trembling, too, all the time, for
it might hear mc.
You observe, I say it ; for I cannot apply
sctunl distinction to tho weird littlo entity
that torments me. At the same time, though,
I find that I have often called ithim, and, in
a misty, wandering way,associated the thing
with tlio tricksy-looking sprito who stands
witbihisjhauds upon his hips in thcLandseer
pictures ot "Jliasummer JNigut s Dream.
The fact is, I. have been haunted for the
past five years I,thesimple-minded,calmly
living, seventh-rate literary man who pens
these lines ; and my innocent bachelor life
has been made a torment to mo by some
thing, of which, as you sec, I only dare
speak in n whisper.
You are shaking your head! Don't say
you aro not, for I can feel it mentally ; and
my perceptions are now those of tho most
acute. Let me hasten, then, to reassure you
to enlighten you upon tho point you are
quietly discussing.
No; there lias not been the slightest man
ifestation of insanity In my family.
Again my pttlso gives, with calm regu
larity, tho proper number of beats to tho
minute.
My blood is of the normal temperature,
It i3 not incipient delirium tremens,. for,!
wm never inebriated but onco In my
life, and then I was so dreadfully ill the
next day that T mndo a vow, which, I have
religiously kept, nnd am always considered
an abstemious man.
So, once more, inn calm whisper,! declare
to you that 1 am haunted bewitched ill
wished evil-eyed over-looked or in some
way suflering from a spell. In fact, there
must be something in (ho matter not hereto
foro dreamed of in my philosophy, and I
tremble lest ill should come of it.
llut let me explain let mo give you
sample of tlio kind of annoyance to which
I am subjected, mid during which it always
sicnn" to mo that I can hear the silvery tinkle
of a vcrv small kind of laughter iloaliti
about the room,
It was only yc-steulay that I required my
daily remembrancer the diary in which I
rccoid tlio Irilles of my life und noto my
engagements. It was gono
That book lies im my study table, and I
was put out by its loss I searched the
bookcase, drawer, in folio., among paper,
turned out my desk, got into n violent pers
piration, went uud bullied the servant, rose
into a towering ruge, and at lust, quite ex
hausted, and fuming with annoyance,! threw
myself into my chair and found that
diary!
Where did I find it 1
I'll tell you : That book lay in its usual
plnco upon the study table.
Now, you may urguo fur a week, and you
will not convince uio that samo sprite had
not hidden that book away until it was tired,
of laughing at me, when the book was re
placed. Another specimen :
I have a custom, drilled into nio in child
hood, of carefully folding my clothes bo
foro retiring to rest. I never kick one thing
hero nnd another there, after tho habitude of
tho iccklcss, but place each garment ready
to bn donned in tho morning. Now, I am
ready to make alQdavit that thoso things
aro nil right at night ; hut when I havo left
rising till tho last moment, just leaving my
self sufficient time to dress and catch tho
train by which I am going with a friotid,
thero is invariably something wron?. Now
it is a button ofT my trousers. If I get them
on, nnd find them all right, the tonguois
gone from my brace buckle. Or it may be
a stud dropped from my shirt j the button
hole split olT my collar ; or, more likely, a
button grown oycrrlpo and ready to drop,
swinging only by ono thread from tho most
prominent portion of my coat,
At another timo I hear tho servant come
up with my boota as I lie in bed. She bumps
boots down as servants will bump boots down
aud in that pleasant, semi-unconscious way
in which one lies on a morning, before rls
Ing, I seem to see thoso boots and wonder if
they havo been carefully dried, for the pre
vlous day was wet, and I have had a horror
of damp boota eversluco I read, somewhere,
that they were n prolific cause of catarrh,
Then I wonder, too, why It Is that serranta
have such peculiar notion rapecting th
anatomy of tho human foot masculine, and
credit with abnormally turncd-otlt toes, from
tho way in which they nlways ic verso male
boots tho right on tho left sldo, tho left
upon tho right. They never do so with
boots feminine. I llo then, seeing thoso
misplaced boots thoroj and when I linvo
mado my plunge out, dono my tubbing, and
have arrived nt tho stage when I want thoso
boots, I open tho door to get them, and thoy
are not there.
Now, I am certain that they wero there : I
heard tho girl bring them ; but all the samo.
After a fow minutes interval I rang sharply
and tlio maid comes and knocks.
"My boots! I'm waiting for them," I
said.
"1'lcaie, sir, they're out here," say tho
glrl.ln an ill-used tone.
Whereupon I go Indignantly t) tho door,
with a brush in one hand, into which I have
savagely driven tho fellow brush, so that
they adhere together, nnd my hair all down
over my forehead.
Yes, there aro tho boots j and put wrong
09 to tho rights and lefts, as a matter of
course.
Now how did thoso boots get away, and
how did theycomo back? For I'm sure the
girl did not bring them back this time.
I told you how particular I am about fold
ing my clothes at night. This extends to
garments I do not wear every day dress
coat, for instance, loft in tlm drawer during
a tour nr shooting expedition.
Now, it won't leave thoso garments alone;
and whenever I take them out alter absence,
they invariably look as if they had been
used for the raising ot money, and suffered
from tho pawn-broker's roll, so evident too
often in the British workman's Sunday coat,
which is creased from top to bottom.
There is another way in which I am tern
biy annoyed. Heine a regular bus mau
of course, I don't mean a driver or a con
ductor,.but a traveler by omnibus from mo
tives of economy, I have noticed tho mil
sauce that the fair sex especially tho fat
fair sex, which never travels without a largo
bundle, which they plant on somebody's
kneo when entering is to conductor, driver
and fellow passengers, by keeping the vehi
clo waiting for them while money is dislodged
from a pocket somewhere in tho region of
folds, or from tho corner of a handkerch'ef,
in which it js tightly tied in a knot which
won't come undone ; while one lady always
produces her cash wet out of her mouth.- I
have noticed all this, I sny, and, in conse
quence, I provide myself with a three-penny
or six pence, and placo it in my waistcoat
pocket ready for alighting and paying with
out requlriug change. Do you thiuk that I
can find that coin when I require it? If you
do you aro mistaken. I gropo for it witli
my glove on I hunt for it with myglovo off;
I dodgo first in ouo corner, then in the other
and each time along the intermediate chan
nel ; but no there is no coin, and the con
ductor ironically asks mo if I want to keep
the 'bus all day. Of courje I don't and I
feel very much provoked as I produco my
port-mounaie,drop my umbrella in the mud
dy street whero we are standing, fumble out
a two shilling piece, and wait for change,
with all tho passengers craning forward to
look, and the driver shouting to his mate
to
"Look alive, there !"
I get my change I havo already recover
ed my umbrella and I bound to the pave
ment shore, out of tlio muddy river, after
narrowly escaping a run down from a Han
som, when to my annoyance I was minus n
a glove, and yes, there it lies, in the mid
die of tho road, ground into the mud by tho
Hansom wheel.
Of course I have to go on,buy a now pair,
and as I pay for them, having grown cool
In the shop. I mentally Bay, "I wonder what
became of that four-peuny-pieec," and my
hand involuntarily goes to tho pocket of my
vest, and yes, thero it is I can feel
plainly enough through the cloth.
I merely say, where was that little coin
bclore I
I mentioned my loss, and that naturally
brings mo back to glovei a covering fur the
hands in which I havo been nearly ruined.
With my customary practice of neatness
I doublo my gloves together, especially the
wluto and lavender kids, which, between
ourselves,! always make lust as long as possi
ble, and then send them to bo cleaned.
Now, the home of my light kid gloves is in
my left hand tail coat pocket, ami I fish
them out jmt as I am going into athcatre,or
"at home ;" and this is always the caso : I
put ou one, get it buttoned, nud nm about
to put on it fellow, when I find that if it is
a wliito g'ovo on my luind, I hold n lavender
kid in my hand, or vice versa. They are
suro to bo odd ones, and I nm certain that I
put them away in pairs.
Why don't ! look before I start, you will
snv. jlccatiso 1 ilon t think to look, and one
loes not feel it necessary after regular pro-
cautious. And air.iin I rav, How is this ?
If it bo not tho workings of somo splrito
full of mischief, ithat is it?
Only a week 11311 hud my breakfast
spoiled by a letter which camo by post. It
was m follows, and thero was an inclosure :
No. 12 Jhumyx Stiihi.t, Friday.
Sut: I am at a loss to understand tho
meaning of this note, nud I should bo glad
if you would explain, fur I am a man who
makes it his rule neither to borrow nor lend
money. Ifyou had any ideas of the latter
kind in bonding it, helicvo mo that a frank
request would havo boon better. I am your
obedient servant,
J, Wcllsby l'urnow.
To T. Woolly, Ksq.
I was amazed, and sat with the noto in
my baud, unable to comprehend it. I had
asked l'urnow to come and dine with mo at
tlio Curacoa Club, and wouldn't have asked
him for money for tho world. Besides, I
didn't want any just then,
At last, by way of solving tho mystery, I
took up Uio Inclosure, to read, in my own
hand :
No. 14 Dvi: Struct, Monday,
Di:ah Old Hoy ; Let me have that ten
pounds,there's a good fellow. You promised
it before Christmas, nnd it'is now May,
Thine,
T. Woolly.
Yes, I wrote that,but it was to Jack Short
er, who owes mo no end of borrowed monoy
which I get back a little at a timo. ltut
how did I'uruow get it ? Stot uo yen
no-to bo sure I did I wroto to both at the
same time, and the noe4 must have been
put yes, I deliberately say, in a whisper,
mind put irto the wrong envelopes?
I wm aghast for a time It seemed so hor
rible ; but at last I recovered myself -suffici
ently to take my bat and go in the telegraph
fBca,uid (end tueaaago to Purnow, UHlng
him it was a mistake, and that he must come
directly, for I had ordered a capital dinner
at tho club.
I got that mcssago very cleverly within
twenty words, got out a shilling, nnd was
ust going to hand both to the pleasant-look
ing young telegraph clcrkcss, when a horri
ble thought ran through mo llko a chill, and
I stood as if transfixed. Jack Shorter had
got Purnow's noto, and he would como to
the club to dinner ! Worse still, to me, as
wo sat together with coffee and cigars, ho
would borrow another ten pound noto of
mc, or perhaps be kind enough to tako It in
two fives.
What was I to do? I dare not bring
thoso two men together. I did not want
Jack. Oh I it was dreadful. But thedlnnc
was ordered, and might just as well be cat
en; so I went away making the pleasant
looking telegraph clerkcss look upon mo as
very strange in my ways and wrote an ex
planatory letter tn Purnow, appointing an
other day for tho dinner; but lie declined to
come, and I feel sure ho believed my noto
was a try-on for money.
But Jack Shorter c.smo and ato my din
ner ; nnd ns I said, so he did he borrowed
two fives over our coffee, which sum he will
never pay.
It's nn awful position for a man to bo in,
and I suffer from It at every turn. I have
found my gun unaccountably rusty ; my
fishing lines horribly tangled, and my top
joints broken, I havo found my choice ci
gars mouldy, my soda water without a fizz
left in the bottle, my tea disappear ; and the
number of umbrellas that have deliberately
gone away I daro not enumerate, for my
sake not yours.
Enough. I am the Haunted Man, and
my sprite will not leave mo. He puts fuel
in my pockets, ruba my hat nap the wrong
way, blunts the edges of my razors, breaks
the teeth out of my comb, nnd in one way
aud another reduces me into the state of n
hypochondriacal dyspeptic. As before said,
I tell you in a -whisper, lest evil should come
upon me seven-fold ; for mine is a malig
nant sprite, and to you, good reader, I wish
a happier fate.
Hal ha I By Jovo, what fun I I'yo just
turned this out of my desk, whero it has lain
for six months. I meant to Bend it to a
magazine, and here it goes at last, if any
oni will havo it. But, I say, the spirit's ex
orcised ; gone, vanished, everything's in its
place, and there's a place for everything,
Apple-pie order and sunshine; unity, peace
and con:ord. E pluribut unum Honi toil
qui mal y peiue Decia el lulamen 1 Excuse
my high spirits ; it's, all due to St. Lydia,
who took pity upon my forlorn lot.and mar
ried mc, driving all sprites away.
I say, though, only think ! Jack Shorter
has como in for a plum, and no sooner did
ho hear that I was going to be married than
he clapped a check for a cool hundred into
my hand, saying that he didn't know how
wo stood, but we'd cry quits, and that would
pay the trip.
This comes unknown to St. Lydi . Once
a Week.
A Turkish Snnff-Uox.
A Paris correspondent tells the following
curious custom :
"Well," said our friend E , "is thero
any news to day from snuff-box land?"
"We looked at each other, a littlo aston
ished, and not knowing vory well what he
meant to sny. Snuff-box land I What was
this fantastic country, and was ho not speak
ing of a creation of fairy art? Ho took
from his writing table a very pretty golden
Bnuff-box, square in form, incrusted with
enamel, and having in the ccntro somo let
ters in Turkish writing, engraved upon a
gold, plate, and resembling aiabesque.
"This," said he showing the inscription
"is tho cipher of the Sultan Abdul-Mejid
Listen to the story of this snuff box ;
"Twenty-two years ago, at the timo o
the Eastern war, I had engaged in the per-
vico as a volunteer in the rauksof the Turk
ish army, in order to continue ou the Dan
ube tho duel against Russia which wc (my
countrymen and myself) had commenced on
the Vistula. Omer Pasha, a great geueral
and at the same time an excellent man, who
had but one fault, a very innocent one,
however, thut of saying 'My Highness' when
speaking ol himself, had taken me lo hi.s
staff its orderly officer. Notwithstanding his
title, I commanded u company ol' brave mid
ocd men, and ncccepted no pay personally,
although I was nut rich. My salary wits
paid into my soldier' culUr. It liujipeiiid
Unit it was I who, ut the html of my men.

rift, cvacuaud by the Hus-iiim uiiny. This
evacuation of the Principalities uas certain
ly a great feat of war, mid c.v.ilu not fail to
ii.va.kut very agreeable euiotiuus in tho Sul
tan when ho heard of it, and the iocs-
Htngerol tins gonu news wi.ulil certainly be
generously reoivul. O.uir Pasha, whp
Munved mo genuine cympatliv, saw an op
portunity to bo kind to 111 j, ami p.raaps
milking niy fortune.
"You will take h irso from Bucharest to
Varna," said lie. "There ynu will take the
D.mubo bnai, and gu directly tu Constanti
nople. Above all, ask to speak with thu
Sultan in peri hi ; t'10 nuws of t!u evacua
tion uf tho Principalitim is well worth a fine
snuff-box."
"A snuff-box I I scarcely knew what
Omcr P.ishu meant, for I was yet ignoruut
that in Turkey leinuticratioiis in money aro
given us smill'-laixn. The Sultan distin
guishes siiuH'-buxes into lirjt, second and
third classes, aud tho value of tho snull
boxes increases or diininishc according to
tho recompense which his highness wishes
to bestow. After having received tho snull
box, 0110 can go directly to the treasury aud
exchange it for the official sum which it
represents. Omer Pasha knew this, and
wished me to receive tbls time Abdul-Med-
jid's snuff box. I arrived nt Constantino
ple, Everybody kinukes way for the young
nfUcor, bearer of a message for tho great
Turkish general, I stand before tho Sul
tan, and tho Sultan is enchanted, ho Is hap
py, and smiles without ceremony at the news
I have como to bring him, Such joy is well
worth something,
"Give that ofllccr," said ho "a forty-thou-Band
franc snuff-box I" Forty thousand
francs was a pretty sum, I don't know what
Vizier was there, who bowed, and Abd-ul-Medjld
dismissed me very graciously, smil
ing all the while,
"When I returued to camp, some days af
torward, Omer Pasha said to me In a very
good-natured tone :
"Well E you are satisfied?"
"I am delighted 1"
" Yu received jour muff-box T"
"I received my snuff-box, certainly,"
"And you exchanged it at tho treasury, I
suppose?"
'No, your highness, I have not exchang
ed It. I shall keep it always, all my life, as
a souvenir of tin Sultan."
"Tho deuco !" exclaimed Omcr Pasha :
"Then you aro very rich ?"
"I am not rich," I replied, "but eight or
nlno hundred francs will not make me weal
thier. And I took from my pocket the snuff
box they had offered me, and which by suc
cessive diminution after leaving tho Sultan
to reach tho official who gave it to me, and
having left much of its gold and enamel and
o)her values in the hands of ministers, viz
iers and managers of tho mint, had, so to
say, melted between theso lingers, which un
derstood so well tho art of reducing a forty
thousand snuff-box to one worth threo hun
dred crowns. "This is the identical snuff
box." When Omer Pasha Baw it he amilcd,
but rather sadly, nnd said, "When forty
thousand frano snuff boxes won't bo worth
even eight hundred, Turkey will bo saved
and become a great nation."
WillOWD.
Winter-kept apples, seasoned wine, a
clouded meerschaum, a vase around which
tho scent of tbo rosea still hangs, all these
have a rare, ripe evanescent flavor that sug
gest, but cannot express tho charm of the
widow. A young widow is, perhaps the
most interesting object in naturo or in art.
She represents experience without its wrin
kles or its gray hairs. She has matronly
beauty and maidenly freedom combined,
Sho is grief with a laughing eye Borrow in
a house of festivity a silver moon in a sa
ble cloud. She is too sweet for anything I
Like all good things she can only bo crea
ted at a great sacrifice. Mrs. Browning says
that a mau must be pretty thoroughly spoil
cd before he can leave a widow. This black
swan this mournful Phtcnlx rises only out
of tho funeral urn that holds the ashes of a
husband's heart.
Let us wipe away the briny tear and pro
ceed Perdile IHcridct. Poets, statesmen, he
roes, and philosophers have each felt tho in
definable infiueuce of widowhood. Its qual
ity is not strained It falls alike upon the
just and unjust. Edward Plantagencl mar
ried the widow Elizabeth Gray, though ho
knew sho brought ciyil war for her dowry.
Ned Walker, Joe Addison, Sam Johnson,
Qeorgo Washington, Napoleon Bonaparte,
John Wesley, Tony Wcller, Ben Disraeli
and all the boys married widows. Henry
VIII was so fond of them that he took two,
and King David was so pleased with Abigail
tho widow of Nabal, whom he took to wife,
that he turned Bathsheba into a widow on
purpose to marry her. When Judith ceased
hor cogitations over the virtues of the late
lamented Mannasas of Bethulia, puUoffher
mourning and adorns herself in bravo attiro
to set out for tho camp of Holofornes, we
feel instinctively that sho will como back
with his heart, bis cruwn or head whichever
she goes for. When the old widow Naomi
counsels the young widow Ruth how to lay
snares in the harvest fields of her kinsmun
and spring her net on the threshing floor
we know at once that tho wealthy bachelor
Boaz might as well order tho wedding gar
ments. Allan Ramsay wrote a Bong telling
how to woo a widow. He might as well have
left directions how to get struck with light
niug.
Streams of Wealth.
The Portland (Oregon) Pee has gone into
the Arabian nighU business as follows:
"Rumors are rife on the streets concerning a
most remarkable discovery of silver in Was
co county. Tho storiesjfloating about tell of
nothing less than acres of boiling springs
which, instead of water, flow streams of
chloride of silver. Ship loads of precious
metal are represented to be in sight, in the
shape of a soapy, gray substance, somewhat
resembling quicksilver, Ihe molten masses
bubble and boil with escaping gases. Tho
eubstanco is so heavy that a stone will not
ink in it, but a stick or crowbar may be
forced down into tho pools of wealth several

What u a. Jiihioo. A man set up a
blacksmith shop nnil waited for customers.
Presently thero camo a farmer to have a
horso shod, aud the self-taught blacksmith
took a bar of Iron and began to pound out
a horseshoe, llo worked till ills customer's
patience aud his own coke were alike ex

ho all but flattened out the anvil, aud mado
nothing that resembled a hedge hook uuy

persevering mechanic called to his weary
patron, "just hold your horses half a min

A lliriiuni; scene.
Srys a writer: It was at a military review
held in Vienna, on tho occulon of the fifti
eth anniversary of the establishment of th
military Order of Maria Theresa.
Not far from 30,000 cavalry wert m
line. A littlo child a iclrl of not mora ,
than four years, standing In the front rev
of spectators, either from fright or some otX- (
er causo, rushed out Into the open field jot
as a squadron of hussars came aneeplna;
around from the main body. They bad wad
the detotir for the purpose of saluting the
empress, whose carriage wa drawn up la r
that part of the parado ground. Dowa earn
the flying squadron, charging at a mad gal-j
lop down down directly upon the ohlldt,
The mother was paralyzed, as were others
for thero could bo no rescue from the line ott
spectators. Tho empress uttered a cry of-
horror, for the child's destruction seemed In-,
evltablo and Buch terrible destruction ti
tramping to death by a thousand Iron "hoof tnj
Directly under tho feet of tho horses wa,
the little one another instant must seal Its
doom when a stalwart hussar, who was iai
tho front line, without slacking his speed ey
loosening his hold, threw himself oyeray
the 'ido of his horse's neck, seized and'lifbai
the child, and placed it in safety upon VU
saddle bow ; and this he did without chang
ing his pace, or breaking the correct align
ment of the squadron. ,s
Ten thousand voices hailed with rapturoa
applauso the gallant deed, and other tboH-
aands applauded when they knew. T
women there were who could only sob fortk
their gratitude in broken accents the moth
er and the empress.
And a proud and happy moment must It
havo been for the hussar when his emperor
taking from his own breast the richly enam
eled cross of tho Order of Maria Theresa
hung it upon the breast of his brave and
gallant trooper.
The Man who had been to the t'eatenalal.
A bashful appearing man stepped intolhe
Enquirer editorial room tho other evening,
and, edging up to the table of the managing
editor, hat in hand, said in a hesitating
way :
You like little items for your paper, I
suppose?"
"Certainly," replied Mr. Cockerill, V
newspaper, like lire, is made up or I1IU3
items. What have you to offer?"
"Well," said the bashful man, playing
with his hat band, "my name is Smlth-
John Smith and I've just got home."
"Glad to see you back again, Mr. Smith, ;
said Cockerill. "Been gone long?" r
"I have been," said Mr. Smith with a.
tremor of pride in his voice, "to the centen
nial, and if you ' want to make alittleBO

"What!" cried Cockerill, springing to his
feet, "you've been to the Centennial ? And
you've got back? Giro us your hand ; L's
delighted to see you. Spear; let me intro
duce you to Mr. John Smith. John has bea,
to the Centennial."
Spear shook hands very warmly with Mri
Smith, and then ran to the aperture com
municating with the reporter'! room and
shouted: "O'Shaughnsssy, come in her,
quick, here's a man that's been to the Cen
tennial." Then O'Shaughnesay bounced !(
followed by his assistants, all of whom e
braced the bewildered Smith warmly, aui
expressed the gratification it afforded thorn

national oxhlbltion. Word got down stair

It was too much for the modest mam to.

an item of his return if fhey wxnttd to;
he hurried out just In time to meet o th
stairs tho foreman and thtrty-two composi

who had been to the Centennial.
