Companions on the KoaJ.
Life's milestones m ilking year on year,
P;iss ever swifter as we near
Tlie final goal, the silent end
To which oiu" faded footsteps tend.
A year once seemed a century,
Now like a day it liunies by.
And doubts and fears otir hearts oppress,
And all the way is eai incss.
AU mc I how yUul and pay we were.
Youth's sap in ail our veins astir.
When long a"o w ith spirits hlh,
A h:ip;.y, careless company,
Wc .stained forth, when everything
V.'ore the green glory of the Spring,
And all the fair wide world was ours,
To gather as we would Its Towers !
Then Life almost eternal seemed.
And Death a dveam so vaguely dreamed.
That in .he distance .scarce it threw
A cli-nd-shadcon the nioim; v.ins blue,
That rose before us soft and fair.
Clothed hi ideal hues of air.
To which we meant hi' after-time.
Strong In our manhood's strength, to climb.
How all has changed ! Years have gone by
And of that joyous company
With whom our youth first Journeyed on.
Who who are left? Alas, not one !
Love earliest loitered on the way.
Then turned his face and siipjied away ;
And lifter him with footsteps linht
The firkle graces took t Loir flight.
And all the careless Joys that lent
Their revelry' and merriment
Grew silenter, and ere we knew.
Had smiled their last and said "adieu."
Hope faltering; Ihen with doubtful mind.
Eegan to turn and look bohin 1,
And we, l.a'f question:!):;, were fain
To follow with her back again ;
But Fate still urged us on oar way
And would not let us pau-e or stay.
Then to oar s!e w:th plaintive eye,
In place o; Hope tana- Memory.
And murmured of the Past, and told
Dear stores ef the days of old.
Until Its very dross seemed gold.
And EiTrlid-diip tm.k ".he place of Love,
Ai.d strove hi vain to us to provo
Thai Love was Liht and ins'neerc
Net worth a man's regretful tear.
Ah ! nil i'l vain grail 'twas a cheat.
Yet 110 voice cmtw:.s so sweet
No presence like to Love, w l:o th.'eW
En' li siitiiH iit over all v e knew ;
And still v e listen wtth a Mii,
And hack, v. it ii foi.d tears in the eye.
We gaze to catch a j:hi;ipse again
Of that dear place but a!! in vain.
rre.'.ch not, O stern Philosopher !
Nought we can have, and nought we see,
Will ever be ro pine, so ulad
Po beautiful, as what we had.
Our steps are sad ourstcp are slow
Nothing is like the long ago.
Gone is the keen, intense delight
The perfume faint and exquisite
The g;oy and the et'ilii.-nce
That haloed the enraptured sits",
Yi'hen Faiih and Ijivcw cic at our side,
A;at common Lite v;us deitied.
Our !:".dov.- Iht.t we used to throw
Behind Its. now before ;:s grow ;
For once we walked heroi c the fun,

FOSTT.
Some few weeks ao, I was invited to
iline in the Stir.ni r's Kiunti of a t-et tiii u
c'.v.b tti I'al! Mali, to meet an (!! iViemi
ol'ii'.tno who on that vet y day eomjilcteil
liis lbitictli year. IIj l.ail stijittlated, ottr
h'St told its, that 11011.1 of those present
sitoaM l o yoimiter tlu.n himself, mi l his
lerins were ajjieed to, those e:leeto l to
meet 1 1 1 1 11 bein;r ii almost all eases one or
two years his seniors lio'li iti no ami uni
versity etandiiio;, ai;d no one being there
vvl.o was not at letitt twoscore.
One impostor, it is trite, on the strength
of having no grey hairs r.or btdd j 1 ices,
aFserteil lie was tlie vottnij. st of the party
mid siiil belonoed to the "T" s ; but his
claims were clearly shown lo be falla
cious, and he subsided after tiie second
eria.ss of champagne, find took his proper
place ftmony; the "F" 8. Tliis was in ac
cordance with humorous arrangement of
a mathematician of the party, who classed
nil his friends under the ihreo In ads of
"T,""f," and "S" "Twenty, Thirty;1"
"Forty, Fifty;"' "Sixty, Seventy."
After all, though, on looking round the
table, and observing Almost every head
was either growing silvery, or "thinning
at tiie top,"' and in some, instances both,'
one was not much disposed to joke on the
subject of age. I remember a friend oi
mine well on in the "F"s remarking to
me some years ago, that I should soon be
gin to reali.o that I was growing old by
observing that the majority of tlie people
I saw in tlie streets were younger than
mytclf; and 1 cjuite feel the truth of his
observation now, though I did not at the
time lie stated it.
Another thing to be Teniarked upon a
man when he gets to be about forty is,
that bis future career ia pretty well dcter
miii'jd, or, at least, a good start ia "life
ought to have bet n made, if ever it is to
be made. The ti-ing barrister has claim
ed, or is in a position to claim shk. The
active curate has become the sleek rector,
or, it may be, young atchdeacon, or,
should he have tlie gift of popular preach
ing, in these days of rapid church ad
vancement, may be almost llutteiing in
lawn. Tlie army man, even in tlie artil
lery, or lino, may hope to be a major at
least. The politician, a Junior Lord or
Under-secretary, or, in some instances of
rare good luck, the head of a department

The literary man should have published
more than one successful I 00k, and should
be settling down as a polite editor, a caus
tic reviewer, or a special corn i-jx mdent;
and, not to multiply examples, thj City
man about forty should be taking work
leisurely, and looking about for a" junior
partner.
To turn from a man's public life to his
private social position that is usually
puite settled at forty, for the majority of
men are either married, or accept without
offence the designation of "old bach
elor."' With the exception of our host, who !
has not yet joined "the noble army of '
manyrs, and myseil, who happened to
be reicntly married, every one at table
was a Paterfamilias.
Jones, still as theory and pleasant as lie
was twenty years ago at Trinity, tan
count a dozen olive branches round his
table.
Smith, who aa a young man we look
ed upon as a somewhat seulsh dandy, is
now, in drc63 and demeanor, the ptietest
man imaginable, a most devoted and at
and rather
tiresome wile.
Brown, the epicurean of our party, still
retains liis lovo for the good tilings of
this world, but lindi comparatively little
scope to indulge his tastes among his
Yorkshire parishioners; for Jlrs. Brown
cares more for the prattle of her fifth
daughter than the best dinner she j
takes ot tlunng her short season in town,
and she longs to be back to her children
again, and out of hot noisy London. I
could not helj) wondering, while sitting
among my contemporaries at this dinner,
where some met again, for the first time,
after many years' interval, how the world
had treated my old acquaintances since
we were all undergraduates together.
Most of lhos-3 who were my fellow-guests,
it was pleasant to see, were jrosjcrous
looking, and some even rather jor!ly men ;
and we all enjoyed an excellent dinner,
the more from the uncommon friendli
ness which springs from old association.
About forty, one discovers very forcibly
that friendship is like good wine, and ma
teiially imj. roves with age, and that those
we knew fifteen or twenty years ago, we
meet with totally different feelings to the
acquaintance of the year before lat.
I recollect, as a young man, how few
fiiends I knew in the "1"' division at my
club, tl.ough there were many in the "S"
( looked on as very old men) with whom
I was on terms of friendly intimtizy. The
fact is, about forty, men are usually too
busy to think or care about cultivating
the acquaintance of younger men than
themselves; their contemporaries are suf
lr iently numerous to oive them as imiili
society a. they care for, and there exi.s's
among them to feeling of sympathy
towards those ten years younger than
themselves, such as they will probably ac
quire in aucr-years.
I hav.; heard ii alleged as a reason why
a ecrt.-.in clu'i iu l'all -Mall is not a socia
ble club, that almost ail its members are
mtddie-aged men, and therefore do not
assimilate together.
It is, I fancy, when we come to the "S''
or final stage of our jourucy, and find our
o'd friends sadly thinned b- change or
leatti, that we tire glad to bestow a kind
word or friendly nod on the youths who
remind its of a ton or nephew, or bring
back fee iings of vttgue recollci tioti, ami
it may be 1 egret, to thosj lar-iii.-tant days
when, as a certain salesman observes,
"we ourselves were young a.id curly."
On the whole, then, "about forty" must
bo considered a somewhat solitary pciiod
of life, but at the same time it jn-.-scsses
not a few advantages jiecuiia; iy its own.
It is tine that mo-st ol" the illusions of life
have auished, and that high spirit which
carried us titrough diliicuities is effoctual
iy sobered; but with a man of sound con
sditmiou, who litis taken tolcral-le care of
li'msclt, all the substantial advantages of
die aro left.
His eyesight is probably a keen as ev
er it was; a:;d he is nearly, if not quite,
as good across country its ho was ten
years ago, though ha may ride fifteen
stone.
If he be wise, he has given up dancing,
though I have met with men considerably
past forty, who are such devoted worship
ers of 'l et psii hot that they still haunt
scenes where they formerly distinguished
themselves.
Undoubtedly, there is on3 thing a man
ought to have acquired at forty, and that
is, thj ability to recognise and appreciate
a good dinner. I confess I feel nearly as
great a contempt for a man of forty who
'low not care what he cats as I do for a
dainty youngs! er of twenty.
As boys,. it is natural Ave should, as it
.vote, ru. h upon our chief meal to be in
time fi.r the theatre, where wc have taken
stalls; but, to middle-aged men, the at
tractions of the drama are less ubsorhing
than they were ten or fifteen years ago,
and they have lcartie 1 that one of the
most essentia! adjuncts to enjoyment at
Jkiitcr is repose.
On certain matters co-tnected with the
table, they have decided opinions think,
lor instance, that oysters are always (when
in season) the best thing to commence;
upon; that champagne goes well with
cheese; and that die.-sed fish is a mistake.
Then, again, about forty may be consid
ered jihysically a safe age; for though
ieople tHe, ot course, at all ages, and
thirty-seven is considered, 1 believe, the
avetage of human life, yet we are not as
we were in the days of LMwnid 111., wh"ii
few gentlemen lived till they .were forty,
but, mi the contrary, have surmounted ju
venile disorders, and, with tlie exception
of a hint of approaching gout, are free
from the infirmities of age. "
So, with all its drawbacks, there is
something" favorable to be said about
forty. .Must I cou'i'c.-s that when our club
pirty broke up, I was half-oblivious of
the lapse of twenty years, and inclined to
ask cur host: "Mia; I you be at morning
chap- I t -inorrow:" but that infliction at
leaot wc iiio.st of us escape when about
forty. Chaiitberif J ourtat.
Photographing at Nteht.
Mnny attempts have been made to jtuo
duce photogr.nphs by artificial light. Prac
tically these efforts were successful; bur,
artistically considered, the resulting jiic
tiin s were very unsatisfactory, and could
. vcn be called dec hied iy bad, by reason
of the defective illumination, which caused
only white and blt'dc to appear and a to
tul ab'sence of middle tinls, which are the
eiiaim and essential virtue of every good
picture. They were scarcely as god as
the very first attempts to make jdioto
raphs of the human face by Prof. John
W. Dm per, of ew York, iu 18:9, and
.ooked as if the sitter had been jilaced in
iirect sunlight. As'jiortraits they were fo
objectionable that nobody liked or wanted
them. The Manufacturer and Builder
s ty that Mr. Henry Van der Weyde, now
residing in Loudon, England, corrected
this by inventing a method to so manage
the electric or other lights used as to
coual the day effects and produce an ar
tistic jd'eture, a problem the solution of
which doos not fall in the ditect line of
pursuit of the ordinary ihologrnphcr, but
exnctiy in the line of pursu't'of the jior
trait fpainfer, in which art Mr. Van der
Weyde has earned. a great reputation.
The jncfures thus taken by diffusing the
iigui on me nan fhndcij parts, so as to
.ring out the ecmit-ncs, nre fully equal
and g'nvradv even eurnass thos nrn.
duced on the brightest days in LoDdon.
The artificial light is easier to manage
than the sunlight, being always under
control, if the j hotographer onlv knows
how to apply it. It is not surprising then
that this jirocess has become quite popu
lar in London, especially among those
who attend operas, theaters, balls, con
certs or dinner parties, when, in going or

Doubtless lie received aid and encourage

Our own custom has usually been to
prune in February, but we believe that it
would be Letter if done in November or
December, siys the Oerman'.own Tele
graph. Tlie exercised poitions should be
cut up in pie s from one to two feet in
length, as the buds might be best r.dspt
ed to be j 1 ne I tii d in bundles of say otie
or two dozen, and -buried a few inches un
der the soil in a location whence the wa
ter wou'd dra:n oil", or under an oen
shel. There they would kczp fresh and
in full life until planting in the s ring.
The vines then thotild be cut loose from
the trellis and left to sjirawl over the
"round, in which position they will stand
th j winter much better than if left ftisten
e i to the trellis. Indeed hnlf-hardy vin-s
can I e saved sometimes by this arrange
ment, as it is much warmer here than
above the ground. Besides the snow will
protcet them. But there is another ad
vantage that is not always thought of,
which is that this horizontal jiosition of
t ie vines wiil cause them to sprout low
d nvn, almost to the ground, by which
new, vigorous runners can always be ob
tained, which is of great importance.
Good Times for Young 31 11.
A recent writer on the stale of trade
says with much truth : Young men com
ing upon the stage of active life dining
the present hard times are much more
likely Jo be permanently successful than
those who made th-'lr advent in business
during the periol of inthition, of high
prices and of fabulous nominal jirofts.
The great reason of this is that young
men who begin now from necessity, form
their business management and p r-onul
habits on principles of rigid even ;ny.
These in the long run tell so powci fully
as to make, in many cases, the. differci.ee
between failure ami succ -ss. Men who
began when everything was at the top
find it very embarrassing to come down
and adapt themselves and their business
to the times that try men's purges, as war
is said to try their souls; wheieas tliore
who commence when economy is tlie o.-der
of tlie oay experience no diiiiculty what
ever in starting upon an occasional bas-,
and once started it will be easy to adhere
t ) it. So that for young men just em
barking for themselves we may aln ost
assert the taradox that ba 1 times are the
best.
Tramps going about asking alms on the

Information Wanted.
Six men sat in the rear car of a south
ward bound train on the New Yoik Ele
vated Bailn.ad, says the Sun. At Eifty
third street a seventh rsoii, a woman,
entered. She was tall mid very thin. Her
nose and chin were sharp, and lu-r eyes
had a steely gr:,y glitter. As t-he
seat -d herself she popped at a phlegmatic
German opposite the qiteiy;
"What time is it.'"
"I don't got a vateh."
"Then ot course you don't know," said
she briskly, ibid turning to a very Mict.u -beiish
gentleman seviral seats 1 e oad th
German, she repeated her question in a
louder tone.
"I I believe it is about tea minutes
past 10," he replied.
"Don't you know definir.lt -ly .'" t-hc de
manded. "Mo I ah my watch has run own."
A third jiisscnger ntforded the de.-ire-l
information. Ju-l th- n the mi").., tor en
tered the car and extended his hand for
h'-r ticket.
"How long is this roadf she asked.
"-Sixty-sixth fltr- et to the Battel v."
"How far is thttt
"Dun no "
"Same jrice fer ridin" ii little piec as
all the way f'
"Yes." And he hunied away.
Siie had already changed her seat
twicer A third move brought her near a
solid man of very seiious mien, who was
reading his morning newspaper.
"Do you believe this road jiiiys?"' she
demanded of him.
"I should think it did," h answ.re l
very slowly, and resumed his rending.
"llcw many persons does it carry in a
day, avciagiu'i'"' she continued.
"I do not know," he rejilicd.l
She turned, and s-uv on the front f a
locomotive moving mpidly up town, an
engineer's assistant nil big the motor.
"Don't you think that's dangei ousV
site in jitired, pointing toward the fast re
ezduig oil'-r.
"Oh, I suppose he knows his business,"
the man responded, iiiciitVercntly.
"Any of Vm killed at it;"
"Lots.''
For lull a l.iiDUtc she lapsed into deep
reflection. Then the cotuiue'or re-inter
td the car to collect a ticket from a pa
scnger who got aboard at Thiriy-f' it. th
street. She lixed him with her g.ittei big
eye and demanded t
"How high is this road fror.i the
street "
"Fourteen to twenty-eight feet, "cot-din"
to circumstances," said he.
"Hew can it vary that muchi" E
it"
"Ground sinks, some jibiecs."'
"Then, do you mean to say"
Mo, he didn't mean to sav. He fed (
the l;-tfnim.
"What did this road cost?'" she next in
piircd of the passenger who had t"ld her
I'rit "lots'" of oilets had been Killed.
"Forty-seven million iloll .r.-," he re
p!h d promptly.
She locked at him.
"Next station, Houston strict!" the
brake-man shouted, poking his h'ad at tie
door. Her tijTased forefinger commanded
his attention.
"What's the next station below Hot's
ton?"1 she demanded.
"Grand street."
"How many blocks is that;"
"Four."
"Is there a cross-town car at Ilou-to:
street that goes to the Noith liivcr.'"'
"Yes."
"How often docs It go?"
"Every five minutes or so, I guess."'
"You guess! Don't you know.''
"No."
The car had already stopped.
"Come, hurry up it vou wan't tog- t oil
here."
As she moved out to the platform she
asked :
"How long do you allow for stopping at
each station
He made no answer. As the train
moved away the jiasengers saw her head
and shoulders shoved iuto the door of the
tiek-t sel cr's otlieo, and it was inferied
that she was asking a question.
Is it Alchemy?
Tho crowning discovery of the year,
however, if the half that has been claimed
sh uld p.ovo true, will belong neither to
Pictet, Cailletet, Edison, Hughe, Watson
nor Swift, but to the eminent English as
tronomer and fqieciroseopist, Mr. J. Nor
man Lockyer. His discovery ia nothing
le.-s than that all the sixty four so-called
"elements" are condensations or modifi
cations by the int 'tactions of the cosmic
forces upon a -single piimitivc matter,
which, so far as this earth is concerned,
seems to be hydrogen, but which in the
solar corona is found to bo at least four
limes lighter than hydrogen. Of course
men are already speaking of this discov
ery r s if it were synonymous with alchemy
or the t atismutntion of metals. In on 2
fcnse they arc right, but not in the most
-it-i or'.'iiit meanings connected with those
cxjiicssiouil It may be found j-.of.sibl
to reduce go'd and other juccion,- metals
ntnl e tones to th; ;r primitive calcium or
hyd; gen, but it may be positively s'nted
that it will never be possible to mal.c
gold from hydrogen or calcium. Ti.e
reason is the same as in the jara!lel c '?e
of reducing fin 1 to itshes. To destroy is
easy; to reconstiu. t fo in the same or sim
ilar materials is impi. -slide. Above all,
one of the factor. in the formation of me
tals is unlimited duration of time for the
p'ay of the cosmic forces, end 1.1. til the
new atchmists can 1 o.'.trol that factor their
cifor's wi.l be usel.vs It is too early to
jiredic t the range, of Mr. I.oekyer's dis-ov-eiy;
but, granting all the facts which Iu
claims, he has but demonstrated, experi
mentally, an idea which is p'Ti'eciiv fa
miliar to modern chemists. It is highly
probable that Mr. Lockyer's conclusion".,
are weli founded, and that th-y Mill revo
lutionize the formal teaching of hemis
try, but th -y cannot change tlie foots a
they have always e i.-ded. Meanwhile
the scientific wo: Id is bee ming impatient
lor the record of Mr. Locky..-r"s cxpcii
nients not for his con -!u-ions, for thoe
they can draw S3 well as he.
