THE IDEAL AND THE REAL.
Clara and I were young togother,
In the schoolhousc on the hill,
Where the wiiiiiiiDrooiuet,siruSgwii,.iurr;s
Down to the old stone mill.
And many dreams we dreamed together
Under the Summer trees
Many the joys of the hidden Future,
" We opened with golden keys.
Clara was proud, and worshipped splendor,
. She would marry a king ;
And the richest diamond in Earth's bosom
Should blaze in her wedding ring.
And she would walk, with her brave ambition'
Straight to the bights of Fame.
And chisel upon the lasting marble,
In letters of light her name.
I said my life should be still and peaceful
All that I asked was Love;
With flowers, a stream, a cool, dark forest
And a placid sky above.
A trae, brave heart forever beating
Faithfully by my side;
A place 'neath the trees in my mother's
Church-yard
To welcome mc when I died.
The years have passed with a whirling swift-
ness
Since Clara and I were young,
Like useless pictures our lair Ideals,
In untrod halls are hung.
Clara she msrried a 6lurdy farmer :
She frequently writes her name
Daintly in the flakey pie-crust;
But ne'er on the bights of Fame.
The hand that reached for the blazing dia
mond Is busied with milk and cheese,
And her treadmill days yield her no leisure
To-dream under Summer trees.
And my life has grown dark and restive;
The dreams of the far away
Come over my weary, panting spirit,
Kike showers on an August day.
The water, with which I lave my forehead,
Has coursed through a mile of pipe;
The flowers in my hair are of scentless velvet;
The peaches are over ripe.
My eyes look out on the toiling city,
And up on an arid sky,
A nnrow place in the cemetery
Is w'ajting for mc to die.

A Woman Joining the Sons of Malta.
The disappearance of the man named
Curtis, from Zauosville, Ohio, supposed
to havo been spirited away and disposed
of by the Sons of Malta, for exposing
their secrets, is explained. His wife
publishes a statement in which she says
that her husband left town because be
was angry and mortified at her having
imposed herself upon the Sons of Malta,
dressed in man's clothes and been par
tially initiated. Mrs. Curtis gives an a
musing account of ber experience among
the Sons. She and a neighbor, Mrs.
Smith, having a womanly curiosity to ex
plore the secrets which their husbands
would not tell them, bribed one of the
Sons to introduce them as men for initia
tion. They put on their husband's clothes
and went to tho lodge-room. They did
not go through all the ceremonies. Mrs.
Curtis got only as far as being tossod in
a blanket. Sho describes the conclusion
of her adventure as follows:
"When the conductor said, 'Can you
swim, sir!' I said 'Yes!' 'Can you
swim in fourteen feet of water!' I said
'Yes! the deeper the better!' 'Well, take
off your ooat and try yourscjf.' Now,
when he said 'take off your coat,' that
soared me, because I had put on "a loose
sack on purpose, for reasons you will see
yourself. However, I thought a moment
and said, 'No, sir; never heed the coat
I can swim as well with as without it!'
'Very well,' said tho conductor, 'your
peril will be upon your own head. Now,
bold up your right hand, sirl take this
life-preserver and ' Here he gave me
a push and I went over backward, and as
soon as I alighted I went up again flying
then down and up in the same way un
til I thought all my brains were flying
out of the top of my head, then every
thing swam round and round until I did
not know anything at all, for I bad faint
ed. "Tho next place T found myself in was
the ante-chamber, or rather, just being
led into the ante-chamber by two men,
and I was first conscious that I must have
been sitting in a bath-tub with my clothes
on. I think the cool air brought mo to
my senses. The two men looked very
sacred and sorry. I looked about for
Mrs. Smith and Joe, but they had gone
as soon as they heard the noie in iniatia
ting me. I asked one of the men if Mr.
Curtis was in the lodge. Tho man said
ho was. I said I should like to see him
a minute. The man went into the lodge
room, and presently out ea"me my beauti
ful husband, all muffled up. I just
whispered a word or two in his ear, and
may be he didn't pull off his gown and
hood in short order and walk home with
me. He left me that night in anger and
mortification, and I have not seen him
since. But then he had no need to bo
angry, he haB always known that I have
always held that women are as capable
as men. But when it comes to the Sons
of Malta, I think, women's rights' is a
failure, they cannot do it."
BgyMiss Tennessee Gibson died last
week in Arkansas, from tho effects of
snuff-dipping. She fell asleep with the
"mop" in her mouth, and was found a
corpse some hours after. A post-mortem
examination revealed the faot that she
had swallowed the juico, which was con
verted into nicotine, a deadly poison.
Her lips, cheek and breast wero smeared
with the foul stuff in her dying struggles,
alone in her room. Before she retired
she felt a deadly sickness, having swal
lowed some of the juice; but as ehe had
used it so long, nothing was thought of
her complaint until it was too late.
An article in the J ournal of Commerce
on snuff-diping, says:
"Tho practice prevails to a groater or
less extent among all classes of females
.throughout tho State of North Carolina,
and in portions of Virginia, Alabama
and several other Southern States in
the park, on the publio conveyances, on
the promenade, at social gatherings, and
in daily domestic duties. On all occa
sions the indispensable box and mop, or
bottle and swab, aro present and con'
stantly active, drawn from the pocket for
private use, or passed to present compa
ny by way of etiquette. Tho habit is
most common among tho uneducated or
poorer classes, yet the moistoned mop is
often dipped into tho snuff by white and
ieweled finders, and thence, dripping with
tho filthy mixture, passed to dainty mouths
and vigorously applied to the gums and
lips, until, all daubed and stained, thoy
would repel with instinctivo disgust the
, approach of other lips that before would
havo thought them loveable. And fre-
1 quently one mop suffices for many differ
ent inoutliBl This mop or swab is some
times a simple brush, but usually a pine
stick softened at the end; and it is a fact
no less truo than what else is herein sta
ted, that tho negre8!es drive a profitable
business by the manutaoture of these ar
ticles, whioh they fit for uso by chewing
the ends of the sticks into a proper coo-
, sistency and selling them to customers.
