I only Know The gods have sent me hither. The talk goes on between them, and bis love grows with it. She delights in the beauty of the house, whose atmosphere breathes re9t and couilort, and whose many chambers seem lull 01 welcomes. She wan ders around, with the gentle wonder in her pleased eye, and sees a marvelous oaken cheat, carved with quaint figures and em bossed with gold. She inquires what it con tains, and finds that Fplmetbeus does not himself know, the oraclt having forbidden him to open it. They go lorth, then, into the garden, and amid the choruses of the birds and the reeds thy tell each other stories of the gods nnd go Jesses, all turning Romeuow upon love. In the midst of their talk Prometheus appear, and Paudora flees into tbe house. Prometheus sees her van Uhicg farm, ascertains who it K and warns his brother against her. As if there ever were lover who heeded warning! Mean time PANDORA WANDERS THROUGH THE FIOUSK, and is attracted and tempted by the mysteri ous chest. She resists bravely, and lies down to sleep until he should return, " who is her diwn, her day." But, through the ivory gate of dreams, temptation again as sails her, and she wakes and yields to it. Sh4 lifts the lid of the chest, and a dense mist arises which fills the room. Pandora Mils senseless; and a will storm breaks without. The storm, when it passes, leaves utter ruin and desolation behind it. Kpimetheus seeks Paudora; and the inter view between tbem is exquisitely imagined. She tells him the dares not lift her eyes to his, being no longer worthy of bis love. She prays hiui for death, no pardon. At last he discovers what has been her fault, and cries out, "I am undone?" but, a moment later, be is ready to assume all tbe blame himself.

THE MORAL OP THE POEM Is in this last sentence of Pandora's this is tbe leson which the parting chorus of the Kuinenldes enforces. "Tbe Masque of Pan dora" has In it neither the fire nor the obscurity of Robert Browning's poems on Grecian subjects. It is gentle, scholarly, and easy of interpretation to be read with pleasure rather than with enthusiasm. I he volume) contains also. "I he Hanging oi the Crane," and "MOrituri Kalutamue," with both of which readers of the lrlDuceare familiar: "Birds of Passage," most of which have sung in tbe Atlantic Monthly, and been reprinted in tbe columns of the Tri bune, and "A liook of Sonnet." These lat ter have given me much more pleasure than I am wont to receive from modern sonnets. Some of them are very beautiful. The first live are under the general beading cf "Throe Friends of Mine." The first sonnet, which speaks ot the three together, closes with these lines: In vain I stretched my hands to clasp their hands; I can not find them. Nothing now is left But a majestic memory. They meanwhile Wander together in Klyslan lands. r ercnance remembering me, wno am Deren Of their dear presence, and, remembering, smile. The one numbered IV. is so beautiful throughout, and so especially tender and touching in Its conclusion, that I will copy it all: IV. River that stealest with such silent pace Around tbe city of the dead, where lies A friend who bore thy name, and whom these eyes Bhall see no more In hU accustomed place, Linger and fold him in thy soft emb-a e, And say good night, for now tne western skics Are red with sun net, and gray mints arise Like damns that gather on a dead man's face. Good night! Uood night; as we so oft have said Heneath tnis roor. at midnight, in tne uays That are no more, and shall no more return. Thou hast but taken thy lamp and gone to bed ; I stay a little longer as one stays To cover up the embers that Ktui barn. In this sonnet there is the same sense oi the closing day the soma looking back with tenderness and forward with trust, which made "Morituri Salutamus" so appeal to all our hearts. The day tbat thus descends towards the night has been blessed and biesbing; and well may the stars ol bope arise In its evening sky. THE PASTOR'S CONFESSION. HE LOOKED UrON THE WINE WHEN IT WAS RED AND FELL BT THE WAYSIDE. The Maroa (111.) News gives this account of tho resignation of Elder Beek man aspastor of th9 Christian Church of tint town: For some time past the reverend gentleman's habits have been such as to cause great grief to his friends, and bring reproach upon the church. At the close of the sermon, which was preached by a neighboring pastor, Elder JJeekman made the following address, which we give as a warning to all men, both young and old, to avoid tbe sin and shame which have come upon this man: "Aa a man I have the highest conception as to what the life and character of a mihlster of the gospel should be. l know that be should lead consistent and an upright life, that can be looked to by tbe community as an example of purity and righteousness. Knowing that my lite has not been such In all respects, desire to tender to this church, for which have labored no long, my resignation. You are aware tbat I refer to my sin ofintempor ance. This may be my last opportunity of addressing you, and I want to ask you that you will not charge this great shame to the religion ot Christ, it teaches better things Charge it to all my own depravity and sin ful nature. To you who have not this babit, it is strange that I should thus yield to temptation. I well remember the time when I thouebt it strange that others drank and ruined themselves with alcohol, larngiai that there are eo many young men here this morning, that I MAY LIFT MY VOICE IN WARNING. I beg tbem to profit by my example. You ihinK now mat you are strong, and in no danger. I well remember the time when believed tbe same. Twelve years ago, when I reached forth my Inexperienced hand and took the intoxicating cup, I thought I was strong; but I developed . habit that now holds me in chains, and in the most awiu slavery that humanity was ever subjected to, it noius roe in its emurace when l seek my bed for repose ; It disturbs my dreams during the weary hours of night, and seizes me as its prey when I rise up in the morning to enter upon the duties of the day. Proür ob, profit by my example; soe what it has done for me. There was a time when I stood as fair as any minister of the church of II linois; there was a time when I bad as biizbt prospects and as cheering hopes for the future aa any of my class-mates. But now tbeyareall gone because of intemptrance Oh, that I could bring tbe whole world to bear my warning voice. Young ladies, you can do much to remove this curse from tbe world, by not countenancing its use among your companions. Urethren, I sever my connection witnyou as YOÜR PASTOR, WITH A BAD HEART. It would be sad under the most favorable circumstances, but much more so as it is But I shail remain with you in tbe church, and labor in tbe community for a livelihood I will come to your social meetings, and work with you In the Sunday scbool, and I will do all I can to atone for the great sin I have committed. God knows I do not wish to injure his cause. Pray for me tbat I may yet overcome this besetting sin. I trust shall be able to overcome this bnsettlng sin I trust I shall be able to conquer. But should I go down under the withering iuilu en c, I ask that you remember me kindlr Whenever you ir.?et me, and under what circumstance, remember there vas a time when you were proud of me. But treat me as yon may, act toward me as you choot-e, beg that you will remember my wife kindly uj not give ber pain and sorrow because o my wrong-doing. Poor woman, she has already suffered enough. I nrriod her swet t and innocent girl, one has been a pa tient aud faithful wife. Again, I ask you will kindly remember my wife and children It was mean and malicious, no doubt, in the Chicago Times to charge that Bristow'i wife and family on their return from abroai bad been permitted to land their baggage without examination; but there was nothing quite so ridiculous in tbe charge as there is lu tbe praise accorded Mr. Bristow by some of bisaetenders and admirers for causing the baggage to be examined. It is a rare sight, we admit, to see a republican member of tbe cabinet recognizing the fact that he has no more right to break or evade tbe law than has the humblest citizen in tbe land; but to especially commend bim for doing so Is to palliate the offense of those who have done otherwise. It is aa admission that official honesty and Integrity Is something which we cave naraiy a right to expect. LITTLE LOVE TOKENS. EVIDENCES OF LINGERING AFFEC TION. A DIVORCED WIFE CALLS UPON HER EX-HUS- BAND WITH A PISTOL AND FINDS HIM WITH A L1KK PRESENT FOR HER TBK SEO.TJKL. The Fairfield (111.) Pres) of the 14th lest. say: on Friday morning last Mrs. Clark (formerly Miss Mollie Farnswortb), divorced wife of Wells T. Clark, arrived at our depot on the morning mall train from the Soutb. On tbe route down town she Inquired of r, j . , . . . . James Ford If te knew Clark and where u woiK.eo. oua carriea in tier band a small paper package, which subsequent e.ents proved to contain a pistol. Arriving down town she proceeded to Dr. Sibley's residence (where Clark tormerly boarded) and inquired lor him. B-Mng told that he was probsbly at the church at work, she went a l reel IV to the building. Mr. Clark was, at the time of her arrival, engaged In placing tbe joists for the second floor. Mrs. Clark entered the basement, and look lDg arouud for Clark, saw bira on the Joists some 10 or 11 It et above. She unwrapped ner paper parrel, remarking at the time "Wells Clark, I've give you warning NOW l'VK GOT Y0U" She then presented ber pistol and sought a good opportunity to shoot Clark between thejoists. Clark saw his danger and drew a pistol and fired. Reports are somewhat con flicting as to which fired first, the reports being almost simultaneous. Mrs. Clark's bullet Btruck a joist and r6bouDded to tbe floor. Clark shot three tlmr s. The first shot was a miss, but the other two took effect, One entered Mrs. Clark's forehead, just above tne leit eye, ana, taking a downward course, came out almost through the eye. The other entered tbe forehead near the edge of tbe hair and ranged backward along the scalp. After the firing Mr. Clark sank down and was helped to Dr. Vertrees' office by Messrs, McNely aud Clodielter. With tbtir lid she was able to walk, notwitstanding the loss of much blood, and bad laitb to believe that she would live to agaiu make a target of Mr. Clark at some future time. At the (doctor's office she stood the necessary cutting and probing for the bullet wltb much nerve The larger portion of the bullet which went under tbe scalp was extracted. Tbis bullet was nattcned and separated Into a number of small pieces. THE SKULL WAS LAID BARE where the ball struck, but not broken. From the doctor's office Mrs. C. was taken to Mr. G. C. Goldburirs boardlnc house, where she was comfortably cared for. For several weeks past Mr. Mary Clark has been in town at dißVreir Haies. Oa Monday of last week she vlsitrd tho woolen mills where Mrs. Knte Clirlt, Clatk's present wife (to woom bo whs married October 3J), ia em ployed. H'oe wai around tbe mills several times for tco purpose of attacking or making trouble with tLo present Mrs. C, but Mr. A. 11. Haker, tbe superintendent of tbe mills. would not allow her to enter the factory. She came agsln in the evening while work was going on, but Mr. J, A Blackburn, the night watchman, being warned by Mr. Bsker, refused to allow her to enter the mills. Mrs. Kate Clark runs two looms and is required to pass back and forth in front of two wltidows. fearing tbat Mrs. Mary C would shoot her through tbe windows at night, she krpt heavy curtains hung before thetn so that her movements and position could not be seen from without the mill. The nffilr of Friday indicates tbat these precautions takeu by herselfand Mr. Baker were prudent, as otherwise she might have been tin next victim of Mrs. Mary's ven geance. Tbe weapon used by Mrs. Clark was an old-style, single-barreled, self-cocking pistol which she secured at En field. It Is strange tbat a woman as Intel ligent as she would go into an affray ot this kind with such a poor weapon. Mr. Clark Ehot wltb ene of THE SMALLEST KKV0LVER3 KNOWN to the trade a cartridge pistol carrying a ball ot 21-100 calibre being about the size of a twe-grain quinine pill. Clark's pistol was one of the kind which an Eastern youth once exhibited to a Colorado pioneer. The Western man (who carried two la rtf" navies) inquired what it was. Being to;d that it waa pistol, he remarked that if tbe Eastern chap "ever shot him with It, And he should find it out, he'd lick bim like smoke." The shot which entered Jut above the eye and passed out, was doubtless received while Mrs. C. was looking down Ward. The other shot was probably re ceived when the attack w&s first made at about the same time she ehot at Clark. One of the joists shows the indentions made by Mrs. C. 'a bullet and from which it re bounded to tho 11 oor. It was afterward picked up by some of the workmen. On Friday evening we called to see Mrs. Clark and found her gettin along finely under the circnrjQPtances. One half her lace and he ad was covered with cloths, but her vis ible eye was bright and she was able to talk as rapidly and energetically as ever. She had much that wai bad to say of her late busband. She says that she has joined bim in many crimes, and tbat be is responsible lor her wrong-doings. Sbe is evidently not of sound mind. Sbe says that when in Texas and other distant states (Clark being in Illinois) he would pinch her hands and feet and annoy her in many ways, and she concluded that she would kill bim to pre vent bis thus following her around and dis urbinsher. GREAT INTERESTS AT STAKE. NINETY MILLIONS IN TIIE BALANCE THE FIQHT FOR TUB POSSESSION OF THB OS AGE LANDS THE MISSOURI, KANSAS A TEXAS railroad's mcktqaoe of $30.000,000 A CASK THAT AFFECT8 A THOUSAND UAPPT HOMESTEADS. A Washington dispatch to the New York Sun Bays: Tbe case of the Missouri, Kan sas ct Texas Railroad Company sgainst the United States and tbe settlers upon the Osage coded lauds, will be argued In the United Slates Supreme Court this week. The case is one of great magnitude. The railroad company claims to have already mortgaged tbe lands lor $30,00,000, which is not more than one-tbird of their actual value to tbe Bettlers. Tbe railroad company is represented by Senators Ed munds, Conkiing aud Frelinghuysen, and Mr. Phillips, the United States by the at torney general, and the settlers by Judge Black, Judge Lawrence of Oaio, and Gov. Shannon, of Kansas. Tbis case vitally af fects the homesteads and tho material inter ests of a large community ol people. It con cerns tbe reservation set aside by tbe United Slates in 1SU8 for the 0-ai(e Indians, and upon which thny resided in accordance with tne tfrmsof the treaty made by them with tbe United States in ISO). Tho lands were then sold by tnem to the United Slates on condition that tbe United States would sell them according to tho land laws, and apply the proceeds in the form of food and cloth ing lor the benefit of the Indians. The gov ernment, by its proper officers, made tbe sale accordingly, and A LARGE NUMBER OF FERSONS PURCHASED. The country was rapidly settled and Is now occupied by a thriving, industrloua and In telligent population numbering several scores of thousands. Eight or nine coun- lies have been established. They have churches and newspapers, industrial estab-1 lUhincnts, and all the institutions of a pros- perous community. Tne United States, by tho attorney general, and the settlers. tv their counsel, deny utterly that tbe lands, which, at the time of the grants, were in the occupancy of tbe Indiana, but which have since erne into tbe possession of the settlers, were included within the grants to the rail- road by any fair Interpretation. On the contrary. the United States and . tbe settlers assert tbat I these lands were expressly excepted out of the operations of the grant. The J?V ?i l tüe gr8nt' V; secretary of tbe Interior, however, ovcrrulud the settlers, aud coutrary to the oplnkm ol the attorney-general, decided in favor of I be railroad company. He even gave the rail road company patents for the lands upon which this large population were liviiur. The settlers Insisted that tbsy have the au thority of congress, of the attorney-general. of tbe president of the United St a: es, and of an tneomcers ot tne government upon tbeir side, and tbat tbe act ol tbe interior depart ment in patenting the lands to the railroad company was a blunder, if not something worse. But the railroad company holds on with the UMial tenacity ot such corporations, and asserts its claim loudly and with much apparent plausibility. Should tbe suits, of wbicn there are two. be decided in iavor of the company, the decisions will RUIN A POPULOUS COMMUNITY, and will place tbe United States in tbe unpleasant attitude of baying sold lands to which it has no title. Tbe attor ney-general, to relieve the United States from such an unpleasant im putation and to quiet tbe apprehensions of tbe settlers, has brought these suits with the object of having a decree entered to can eel tbe patents issued by the secretary of the interior and to stt aside'the claim of tbe rail road. The claim has been beard in the Cir cult Court for tbe district of Kansas before Mr. Justice Miller and Judge Dillon, who concurred in declaring tbat the claim of the railroad company was without foundation in law or equity. From tbis decree the rail road company appealed, and now insists upon a reversal of tbe Circuit Court's decree, Senators Edmund-, Frelinghuysen and Mr, Phillips are here for tbe railroad. Senator Conkiing is detained on political business. but is soon expected. The magnitude of tbe property Interests involved, as well as the nature of the claim, excites much Interest. The railroad claims the land under the sec tion in the general grant which gives to the company every alternate section of land on each side ot the main road and Us branches, The United States and the fcet tiers claim that the Indian lands then occupied byth Big and L'ttle 0gos were expressly excepted Irom this grant. The attorneys for tbe rail road beek to avoid that exception by en deavoring to prove tbat there can m no rf servation of lands occupied bv Indian, Upon this technical question ot law tbe cane neems to bang. nOW TO VANQUISH THKöTOM ACH' TOrs- ilt.VlUlt. 11 the enemy of mankind was permitte 1 to ex ert bis rilab meal ingenuity In the Invention ol a new dls-ase, he could scarcely device one more worthy or nis genius than dyspepsia, ihedys- peptic suflerer is tor.i.ented by symptoms re- neiriblin lu .me of almost every known malady. aud is often vtorrhMi into monomania by these conflicting and perplexing muimettatiocs, A favo ite though absurd haliacintttion of the vic tim of chronic indi est ion is that he or she has heart disease.
