FT R LASTING NOWi . Everlasting Now, J- How beautiful art Ihoa f 4 Through tha ferny greenwood daQfc f When the oaks were golden. Hyacinths rang their bonny bells, ' A tone of masks olden ; Borrow and core had a wept away ThaTmolody so light and gay ; TThy did it wake once more that day? I do not know. But or ee again Thought long dead uid burled. Shook their wings, a sonny train. And o'er my spirit wearied Soared a fresh and childish song. One I had fogotton long, Kay, not on-, a flock, a throng. Everlasting Now, How wonderful art thoal In a dingy, noisy street, ' A pure white lilac growing. Showered down odors to my feet, And mingled with their flowing, Sounds and sights of long ago, Roses which hare oeased to blow, Winters of forgotten snow. Stranger faces passing by Saw I them no longer, Visions of the inner eye Ever are the stronger ; Came a face quite close to me. One I here no longer see, Smiled, and vanished suddenly. Everlasting Now, How terrible art thou ! Wandering by the river's side, When the sun was setting, Whimpers came from far and wide, "There is no forgetting. Past Is present, Now is vast, What L future will be past. All will be but Now at last." Then there shot a keen regret For a harsh word spoken, Glistening still with tear-drops Wet, Love's fair flower broken, Tears long past had soen that wrong. But of bitter thoughts a throng Sprang to life all fresh and strong. Everlasting Now, How bitter-sweet art thou I Soul 1 who never can forget, Thou must live forever ! Eyes ! with tears of penance wet, Te must wake forever ! Canst thou face the Eternal Now? Or, as mortal things laid low, Dost thou crave an end? Not so ! Thou ! who wakest memory's ear, ! By such subtle blending Of the present and the near. With the life unenlin?. Tune us to that por.'ojt k-y. Giving life its nnity. Life, which hides itself ia thee ! Keis and Bayyct, Caloutta (India).

'Ml is not the enemy you must fear, but me," ho would of ten remark to tha young soldiers, who came to increase the ranks. Thus hi army was an army of heroes, who had no fear on the battle-field, but who trembled in the presence of their leader. The first campaign in which they fought was at Albania, in the battle against the rebel Greeks, and on that occasion Mahomed's men proved them selves efficient. It happened that Mehemed one day ordered eight soldiers to remain in ambush at the "fire fountains" of Artn, at which point the Greeks were likely to open their attack. They were to stop any one who should try to pass by, and they were strictly cautioned not to dismount or fall asleep. The soldiers executed with exactness all their in structions. A vehicle which attempted, toward midnight, to cross the line unob served, was discovered and stopped. The man who had charge of the trxec ran away, abandoning his wagon. On this wagon was a barrel. It was easy to ascertain what the barrel Contained, even without dismounting and without falling asleep. You only had to open the bnng-holo to smell the pleasant odor of liquor escaping from it. And it must have been an excellent liquor, compounded largely of figs and dry raisins. The Giaurri (Christians) an doubtedly knew what was good. The soldiers had not been forbidden, if they seized liquor, to drink it. And really they did not drink directly from the barrel ; they merely sunk bul rushes in it, through which they sipped the sweet and intoxicating liquid. Was it not harmless to sip with such thin rushes? One could scarcely call that drinking I But just ly does the Prophet remark that wine is a deceitful beverage, in which satan has had his hand, since this drink brings men to every evil. First, the soldiers asked each other why they should sit in their hard sad dles, when the grass made such a soft bed on the ground. And if they lay there for only a short while, nobody would know it: they could tie the horses to the wagon, and these oertain Ij could tell no tales. After they had dismounted, the infernal drink per suaded them that it was a useless task for eight men to remain on guard ; four would suffice, and the rest conld sleep. To the four men who were to ksej awake, tho waiting for ihoir .turn secznea too long," ana they agreed that two might sleep, while the other two remained true to the orders. Maruf and Sefer were the two desig nated to watch for tho rest. "Do you know," said Sefer to lilt friend, "do yon know that one man it of the same value in this case as two It will do just ao well if only one of at "retches. Do you not agree?" Maruf assented. 'I propose," continued Sefer, "thai re play a game of chess : the loser will iiave to watch, and the winner may deep 1" t Maruf accepted the conditions. The two Bedouins prepared tht ground in front of where they stood, nd with their spears they traced n square, dividing it into sixty-four imaller squares. Then they substitut ed for the regular pawns the fruits oi the woods. The wild pears becams kings, the apples queens, tho castles were represented by acorns, the bish ops by rose-hips, tho knights by nuts tnd the pawns by berries. The men thus provided, the gamo began by thr light of the camp fire. At first, Sefer had the advantage frat that inebriating drink overcame him, little by little, so that -he was not in condition to distinguish his pawns. Ho loet his queen, and was very near being cheokmated. "Sefer, you are in bad mess," re marked. Maruf when he saw that the L'aihe was in his hands. - "Y$u are" right X am as sleepy as the Ms whe it is calm." "Ye are toeing the jptme." , "Ih see that, too!" ' Well, lilt dow, in tne name ol Allah, . I will -Mtehlpr wo, MM grateful aoknowISgemehI of " tSlj aerifies, and he thought he spoke te) him, but he only dreamed it, for hf fell asleep immediately. Maruf, on tha contrary, kept his eyes open, and leaning on his gun, he looked at his sleeping companions. But that terrible drink began to mur mur softly : Wly do yon not sit down? Yot could see just as well I" As soon as he was seated, Satar again began to tempt him. "Why do yon tire your eyes? II on shut one of them, yon will see with the other just as well ae wit) both," Maruf reflected that, if his eyes wer closed, his ears were open, and that he would be ready to start at the small est danger - that might threaten his companions and himself. And with the firm purpose of not falling asleep ho slumbered as heavily as the rest. In the meantime, the hidden Greeks came all of a sudden upon the sleeping men. untied the horses of the Turks and would certainly have killed them, ' had not Maruf s horse, as though ne foresaw the danger, begun to neigh. The first to awaken was Maruf, and in a few moments the rest were ready. They ran to get their arms and stood on the defence, now fully awake an sober. They threw themselveson the enemy ; but it was of no avail. The Greeks had mounted the horses and laughed at the Turks, who endeavored to over come them on foot. Maruf s horse alone would not sub- Ait to the Greek who had mounted him, and began to rear and plunge until he had succeeded in throwing the rider. He then Kicked him and returned to his owner. Eight men had one horse left among them. What was Mehemed going to say? The Bedouins, yet young, wero sast down at ' the thonght of death, rhey knew their leader would have no pity for them ; and still sadder were they at the loss of their beloved horses. Of what use is a man witnou' i horse? Mortally worried r.t the punishment they expected, they returned to head quarters, and, brought face to face with Ahmanzade, they narrated whit had happened; how they had dis obeyed his orders, how they had fallen tsleep after drinking the liquor, how the last two watchmen had plaveti hess, and finally how they had lost .heir horses. Ahmanzade was not in the habit of making a display oi passion when ho had to pass sentence, tn his immovable face, no one could read whether he decreed life or death. "As for eight men there remains jnly one horse," he remarked, "you will agree with me, that there are seven if you too many. I have never read in the Koran nor in the Azorat that ;ight men should ride one horse, ami is you are such good players, sit down tnd let skill decide which of you is to be the man who is to have the one horse. All tho others are sentenced tc iie." Having said this, Ahmanzade had four chess-boards brought in, for the. rurks are in the habit of carrying boss-board with them, even in war., As soon as the men were arranged, he srdered the Bedouins to begin their play. Twelve of the best marksmen were eady with their rides to shoot the losers. Iwo or three gave in at once to their stronger adversaries ; in others, lespair battled with craftiness againct the advantage of their more skillful opponents, and the former would win when the latter had victory in their hands. The losers were immediately ro aoved, and the noise of several shots indicated that they had ceased to ex ist. The first tiii wns over. Four hac ost. four were winner. These Wt were paired. New hopes and new fears. A danger would pass tin- ibserved, and he who had made th error would raise a cry which was hi' death sentence. Again two lost, and again two were shot. And now only two remained Maruf and Sefer. They found them selves, as they had been before, in front of the camp fire. They were the' best players. They began the game with a good deal of caution, resting their foreheads on the palms of their hands, thoughtfully calculating every nove, without hesitating but withouf Slurrying. For a long while neither of tho two succeeded in obtaining advantage ; for each gain there was an equal saorifice. The spectators nod to each othei "hen either one makes a brilliant move. Little by little, the number if pawns on the chess-board diminishes : the main figures lie scattered to the right and to the left; the situation becomes plainer ; a few more moves and Sefer will lose his castle ! Maruf has one more castle than hi adversary, and this means a good deal at the present stage of the game. Th crowd believes that the game is in his hands. All of a sudden, great drops of swea cover the forehead of Maiuf a fear overtakes him, he trembles through ill his body. He has noticed that, if his adversary sacrifices his queen in stead of the castle, he can checkmate him with the bishop. Would Sefer see that movo? On that depends lift and death ! Sefer looks at the chess-board for a long while ; his looks betray that hs has seen the move that will save him But ho does not touch the men and h seems to hesitate. "Maruf," he asks all of a sudden, how many children have yon at home?" "Four." is the answer that come from trembling lips. "i on have a good wife?" "An excellent wife," awswera Maruf with a sigh. Sefer passes a hand over his face, and begins to murmur as though he wer praying. Thin he asks for water; he washer his ys, his hands first the left hand, then the right hand. Unseen, two guardian angels watch ever by thos who pray. "Yesterday night you gavo mo the game so that I might sleep," he says. Maruf does not answer, but bow? his head in assent. "Yon have always been a good friend of mine,. Maruf." Maruf lets his head drop on hia breast entirely overcome Sefer then lowly lifts hia hand to tho chess board anfl makes a move, not with th quern, bat with the castle. "Checkmated 1" you hear murmured on all sides. Maruf has won, and Sefer lost - Sefer rise quietly, offers hia hand for the last time to hia friend Maruf, who seems nailed to his plaos, and signals to the soldiers to be ready. Two seconds later a shot announces jthat the tournament is over. Pros' tne xxongarian, in Romance.

Xiopped ears are the result of ao ceatication in all animals except the elephant. Np only carnivorous ani mals, but all fni"1'1' which are liable to be preyed upon by others, need the irect, mobile, funnel-shaped ear to catch every sound ; the one class to ap prise them of the vicinity of their prey, the other to keep them on their guard against unseen foes; and the sonstant exercise of the external or ran gives tone and energy to the m na si es which more it. The elephant, too, probably came of in ancestral stock that had erect ears, but for ages past there has been no crea ture powerful enough to cause it alarm, and for want of exercise the muscles which move the ear have lost tone and wasted away, leaving the ear to lop or hang pendulous. The tendency to lop the ear varies nuch in different animals. Babbits lop their eara after a very short period ttl domestication, and, with the excep tion of Wa and oitrs. are almost the nnlv lon-eared animals in Europe and America ; but in Oriental countries all the domestio animals are more or less lop-eared, a fact which suggests that liiey have been muoh longer nnder do mestication than their congeners in Christendom. East Indian goats have long, pendn ous ears, sometimes over a foot in length and soft as silk. The ears of tho Indian donkey stand out horizon tally ; those of the zebu, or Indian ox, iroop below the horizontal line, and lame breeds of Oriental horses carry their ears nearly horizontal, although the Arab horse shows no such tea iency. The general measure of variability a this matter of lopped ears is to be Found among dogs. Spaniels, setters, (winters, bloodhounds, beagles and foxhounds all have Ion a hanging ears; bulldogs, terriers, collies and grey hounds droop only the tips of the sars ; the spitz has erect ears, while nostiffs and mauy other bree.ls hivo ihort, pendulous or semi-pendulouf ars. It might be inferred that the raoro jenJnlous-eared dogs have been longer under domestication, and that ihe more prick-eared dogs have been ierived from wild stock at a compar atively recent period ; but something nay be due to accidental variation and ireful selection in breeding. Ia general, lop cars result from ages f disuse of the muscles which move ihe ears, and which in wild animals ire in constant activity ; and it ap pears thnt ears which have become pendulous tend to increase in length. -Yankee Blade.

The door of what has for years been known ia Ashland, Ohio, aa the log but hermitage was open the other day jfor the first time in thirty years. It lor as foreed open nnder the anspioion that the hermit was sick. The her mit's dog, by a peculiar instinctive puothod of communication, led a neigh bor to the hut. While no person bad been permitted to eater his hut for thirty years, if any one approached it jhe hermit would come out of his Swelling, fasten the dog and talk with le visitor. On a recent morning the neighbor could not call out "Uncle Fred," so he attempted to get in, but conld not. He then attempted to look in through the window, which consisted of but one pane of glass six by eight inches In size, but he could see nothing. He then called other neighbors, and after breaking open the door by the aid of a lantern they found the hermit dead in front of his fireplace, on the ground, for his hnt had no floor and - no bed. He had slept on the ground for thirty fears. Hia hermitage had but one room, 10x12 feet, which was filled with sacks rf nuts and barrels of garden products, fend was hung full from its low ceiling with herbs gathered from the country far and near. The floor was filled with geological specimen". The hermit, whose name was Matthews, died in the room in which he was born. He had taught school in Holmes Connty, studied medicine at Mansfield and had practiced as a physician among his neighbors, and was highly esteemed professionally and as a teacher. He married at about the age of forty a f oung pupil in his school in Holmes County, who on being taken to his home, which he had told her had four Motions of land with a mill on it, was lo enraged when she found that it had but four-quarters of an acre of land tnd a coffee mill that she left him. He then vowed to be a hermit. He would Dot permit anyone to enter his hut. He was a man of strong mental powers, strengthened by his hermit study and Inspiration. He came out of hia hut sften to lecture on politios. He had svolved free trade in his study and other subjects of interest. The County Infirmary directors have made him an allowance for years.

Yieior Hugo appeared to' be so much absorbed in his work that lie was considered heartless or a man who would not be moved by any sorrow. The truth is, he was remarkably sensitive, and in order to save him self from the torture of his emotions he sought refuge in work.

The hardships, however, told seriously on him, for when the grip at tacked him four years ago it nearly killed him.
