A BALLAD OF SARI ! : .
[ Algernon Charles Swinburne. ]
High beyond thuprnnito portal arched across.
Like thp gateway of Homo godlike giant's
hold
Sweep and 'nwoll the billowy breast of moor
and mews
East and westward , and the doll their
KlojK-S flllfold
Bnsks in purple , glows in green , cxulto in
p < ld.
Glens that know the dove and fells that hear
the lark
Fill with joy the rapturous islnncl , as an ark
Full of spiecry wrought from herb and
flower and treo.
None would dioam that grief oven hero may
di'-einlmrk
On the wmthf til , woful nmrgo of earth and
ea.
Reeks emblazoned like the mid shield's royal
Toke the nun with oil their blossom broad
and bold :
None would dream that all this moorland's
slow and gloss
Could bo dark ns tombs that strike the
spirit a-cold
Even in eyej that ojwned hero , and here
behold
Now no sun rolnmo from hope's belated
spark
Any comfort , nor may cars of mourners
hark
Though the ripe woods ring with golden-
throated glee
While the houllies shattcre < l like a stranded
birk
On the wrathful , woful nmrgo of earth and
son.
Death nnd doom arc they whoso crested tri
umphs toss
On.proud plumorl waves whence mouming
note are tolled ;
Wail of perfect woe nnd moan for utter loss
ItaLso the brido-song through the graveyard
on the weld
Where the bride-l > ed keeps the bridegroom
fn t in mould ;
Whore the bride , with death for priest and J
doom for clerk ,
Hears for choir the throats of waves like
wolves that bark ,
Sore anhungered , off the drear Eporquerio ,
Fain to .spoil the strongholds of the strength
ofSark
On the wrathful , woful marge of earth and
* sea.
Prince of storm and tempest , lord whose ways
nro dark ,
Wind whose wings are spread for flight that
none may mark ,
Lightly dies the joy that lives by grace of
thoo.
Love through thee lies bleeding , hope lies cold
and stark ,
On the wrathful marge of earth and sea.
"Cobs" and "Hacks. "
[ Wallace's Monthly.l
The descriptive words "cobs" and
"hacks , " as applied to particular types
of horses , are of limited use in this
country , and some of our readers seem
to suppose that they are used to desig
nate certain breeds that are known by
these names. This is a mistake. The
terms are not used to designate a breed ,
but to indicate the type of an animal ,
in his size and conformation , no dif
ference what his blood or whether ho
has any blood. A "cob" is a short-
legged , stout , block and compactly built
animal , varying in height from thirteen
hands three inches to fourteen hands
three inches. "The "hack" is the same
type of an animal , varying in height
from fourteen hands three inches to
fifteen hands three inches. The hack is
larger than the cob and the cob is larger
than the pony , and the sizes we have in
dicated are after the best English usage.
The Morgan horse , in his original type ,
would have been the Englishman's true
ideal of the cob.
The First Visitor to the ITosemltc.
[ Western Letter. ]
In all that has been recorded about
the Yosemite no satisfactory evidence
has ever been produced as to the first
white man's footprints on the level
where the beautiful Merced seeks egress
from the rock-bound chasm. We con
cede that honor to Louis Sammann , a
Mono county man , now residing at Mono
lake. Louis is a pioneer , an old hunter
and a guide in that portion of the Si
erra , and figured in many escapades
during the Indian troubles. He has
abundant proof of a memorable trip into
the valley in 1851. When hunting for
game he followed the sinuosities of an
Indian trail from the direction of Coul-
tervillc , and brought up in the vicinity
of Bridnl Veil fall. Ho had killed a
deer , and , being nearly worn out with
fatigue , was seeking the nearest water ,
when he came unexpectedly upon a
large camp of hostile Indians , which had
the effect of settling all desire for thirst.
As may be supposed , his visit was of
short duration.
In the Early Centuries.
[ Exchange. ]
Dr. French , in a recent work , "Nine
teen Centuries of Drink in England , "
says lhat mead was the intoxicant of the
ancient Briton. The Romans introduced
wine. Cider was known at an early
date , but the Saxons , Danes , ami Xor-
mans brought in the secret of stronger
beverages. Distilled liquors were intro
duced under the Plautagenets , and
clergymen then began to tipple. In the
sixth century men of all degrees "slum
bered away their time in drunkenne-ss. "
The prevalent intemperance of the sev
enteenth century is said to be due to
the act to encourage distillation , the ex
haustion of light wines , the influence
of the court , and the development of
toasting and club life. Dr. French pre
dicts that moderation will increase un
til intoxicating beverages- shall be used
and not abused , and thus become one of
our blessings.
How the Spell Was Broken.
[ Boston Transcript ]
They sat upon the shelving rock ,
while before them was spread out the
rich and grand panorama of nature.
"How awful ! How sublime ! " thought
Miss Pensive : "and Charlie's soul , like
mine , is in sympathy with the scone. He ,
like me , is lost in admiration. He , like
me , thinks it were profanation to break
the stillness with a single word. "
Involuntarily she turned her head.
Charlie was fast asleep.A ; sudden and
strange emotion filled her bosom. List !
She speaks !
"Charlie , you great dunce ! Come , let's
go into the house ! "
Meteorological Item.
[ Texas Sittings. ] I * '
"Mamma , the weather is redhot , " said
a little Austin boy.
"It's pretty warm , sonny , but I don't
think that it is red hot. "
"Yes it is ; it saya in the paper that
the thermometer is at blood heat , and
you know blood is red. "
D. Z. Brans : A padlock is not an un
necessary ornament to a dnck-houso ,
liibits of various kinds in the interest
of the house-keeper , for she has by
no means been forgotten by the in
ventor. There are churns very cheap ,
which reduce the labor of butter-
making to a matter of a few minutes ,
not exceeding ten ; parers which take
the "hide" off an apple , or potato
than "Jack Robinson
quicker you can say
inson , " and remove the c&re from the
former , leaving the apple whole for
baking ; irons , which dress up the
washed clothes , without heating ;
cheap and small refrigerators that
can be used on the table , as well as
larger ones ; handy little bath cabi
nets , which can be moved into any
room , and every house should have
onethere ; are liglitning needle thread
ers for blind people , or others , and a
thousand and one things to lessen the
labor of house-keeeping which every
woman would appreciate a little
outlay now and then can double the
conveniences and comforts of any
home. Tt is very greatly to the cred
it of this Exposition , that , while it
falls behind some of its great prede
cessors in extent 6f ornamental ex
hibits , it excels all of them in every
department of utility , simply being
unsurpassed in this respect.
The attendance now averages daily ,
about ten thousand people , and the
fine weather , coupled with railroad
rates reduced to one cent a mile , is
filling the buildings with crowds of
people.
