We stood on the shore of the ocean,
Parting--my love and I-
And he placed on my finger a token
Of love, as he kisse. mc 'good-bye.'
The little boat broke fronm its mooring
And leaped in the dark. rolling main ;
And from over the sea
His voice camie to me-
"i'll come to my sweetheart again."
The sun went to sleep in the waters,
And the little stars peeped from their nest,
And the boat came home in the evening
And brought me the one I loved best.
tt. my lover was trun to his promise.
And my heart had not trusal inh vain,
When from over the sea
Ilis voice came to me--
;1 .corn to my swe.theart again."

Si.:ion Pacific express train was delayed
at Sidney, Nebr:aska, the other day by a
broken sw rcl. Among the pssengers were
a young woman and a young mian bound for
the PIacitic coast on their wedding trip. The
bridegroom, Good wi:n by name, got out to
kick up his heels and look around, and while
he was absorbing the beauties of nature and
other thinzs in Sidney, the train passed on
without him. There was consternation at
Sidney and on board the Pullman. The
bride was in a state bordering on distraction
because of her lost liege, and vainly, though
frantically, did the groom put in his best lo
comotion to catch the retreating train. As
he and the bride were one, with a very clear
case of "a passenger on board who was left
behind," it was fun to everybody else except
the two most deeply interested. Failing to
catch the train on toot, heclambered into the
cab ot a locomotive which happened to be
puffing about the place, and earnestly solicit
ed assistance. The engineer, a tender-heart
ed man with a tender, saw how it was, and
proceeded to obtain proper authority as soon
as possible, and started with Mr. Goodwin
on a stern chase for the flying train which
was trying to make up an hour of lost time,
and which w.as proud of a new pair of wheels.
Away the extra locomotive speed on the
wings of love and sympathy and steam,
Goodwin petted the engineer and fireman
and helped to shovel coal, and at Antelope,
37 miles away, the wild-eyed, pursueing hus
hand overtook the heartless cars, and the
young couple immediately retired to their
stateroom to congratulate each other.- Ex.

it was the Empress Euigenie who found in
Adelina Patti, the rich wife for whom the
Merquis of Caux had long been in search. He
was very poor, his mother geting part of
her income by making beautifying powders
for the Court ladies. But he was a Marquis
and that seemed to be enough for Patti. He
was double her age, and unfaithful from the
moment of their marri ge. Their quarrels
began almost immediately after the ceremony.
In less than a week the servants had to save
her from his blows. He soon began to bring
his mistresses into her very presence. A
million or more of her money went to pay
his gambling debts. Another to the restora
tion of his Chateaux. He made trouble by
demanding her salary in advance of her
management. He even tried to steal her jew
elry, and when at last he accused her ot in
fidelity with the tenor Nicolini, she asked
him sarcastically how he could wonder if she
thought more of Nicolini than of him-a
gambler, a thief, a wife-beater and a pro
curer ? He struck her, and Nicolini rushing
in gave him a sound thrashing. When he
crawled from the room his wife was in the
tenor's arms, treating him to a tableaux, not
unlike the mimic scenes she had acted for
years. When finally a divorce was obtained
It was granted to the Marquis and she is
obliged to divide her earnings with him. She
does not think as much of Marquises as she
did, or even as much as some American
girls, in spite of such examples, are still re
puted to do.

Some weeks since a citizen of Greenfield
traded a mule to his neighbor for a horse,
warranting the old brayer to be sound in wind
and limb. Not" ten days had elapsed when
the mule brayed his last bray and kicked his
last kick. The former owner refused to be
held responsible, and the result was was a law
suit which was concluded yesterday in Jus
tice Alley. When the plaintiff had told what
he knew and thought and suspected, his wif~e
was put on the stand, and on the cross-exam
ination the defendant's lawyer said:
"Mrs. Smith, what did that mule die ofT?"
"Botts," was her prompt reply.
"Are you sure ?"
"Yes, sir."
Wasn't the beast choked to death with
some fishbones you gave him along with his
alop ?"
; amn . munnmlu|I I l lm~lim ~llll l N H H I /
"No, sir. We haven't had a fish in the
house tor a year."
"Wasn't it possible that he might have
swallowed a hair pin ?"
"No, sir. I've counted my hair pins and
none are missing."
"Do you ever buy poison to kill rats ?"
"Never."
"Were you home when the r~ule was first
taken ?"
"I w:!s."
"And you knew his ailment was botts ?"
"Yes, sir."
"And you told your husband so ?"
"I did."
"Mrs. Smith, do you call yourself a horse
or a mule doctor ?"
"''No. sir."
"Well, how are you so certain that this
mule died of botts ?"
'Because I am.',
"I want a plain answer. flow are you so
cer:ain ihat the mube died of botts ?"
"Well, I looked him all over, and he didn't
have the measles, chicken-pox, whooping
conugh. or dumb ague. My husband looked
him all over, and he didn't have poll-evil,
colic, sweeny or blind staggers, then we knew
it must be bolts."
"How did you know ?"
"Hflow did I know ?" she echoed in an in
dignant voice. "Do you suppose i've kept
house for thirty-two years and been the
mother of eleven children and not know what
the botts are ? Why, I've had 'em a dozen
times myself, and the old man here would
have died with 'em in March if I hadn't put
on mustard poultices and ]rawn em out of
his system by way of his feet! Botts! why
I know 'em from Dan to Bersheeby !"
Insgru-aced their Race.
CIIEYENNE,June 10.-The famous miscege
nation case wherein a Chinaman and a
white woman were indicted for intermar
riage, the ceremony having been performed
in Colorado, was decided to-day by Chief
Justice 8enor. The court held that the mar
riage being legalized, it was legal under the
statutes. The defendants were finally dis
charged. A curious outgrowth of the case is
that the Chinamen here have ostracised the
bold groom, Lee Chin, and claim that he dis
graced their race by marrying a white wo
man.
A 'Telescope Story.
The San Francisco Call tells an extraordi
nary story respecting a monster telescope
made by Professor Lefevre and Longtour,
French scientists, and erected at San Fran
cisco. The lenses ar 20 feet in diameter and
this is what happeued when the astrono
mers and their friends turned the instrument
to the heavens : "M. Dufrere was the ficast
to apply his eye to the eye-piece of the teles
cope. For fully five minutes he looked on
in speechless amazement, then, without a
word, turned away to hide his emotion. One
by one the gentleman present tested the teles
cope, exhituting their astonishment in vari
ous ways. The planet which happened to cast
its beams upon the great speculum was Mars
and the revelation is too wonderful for cred
it. The eye piece of the lowest m ,gaifying
power was first placed on, when the planet
presented a most astounding sight. The pow
erful lens brought the surface of the planet
nearer than that of the moon has ever been
brought out by the most powerful telescope.
The green of the sea was brought out in un
mistakable color, and one could almost imag
ine that he could see the waves upon the sur
fac-'. There before the eye was sprtad out
a splendid panorama of hill and dale, dark
patches that must be covered by forests,
great yellow patches that looked like autumn
fields, silvery threads that must be rivers,
and several unmistakable volcanoes.
''You gave me the key of your heart, my love;
Then why do you make me knock?"
''Oh, that was yesterday, saints above!
And last night-I ehnged the loclk !"
