THB COURIER. ASPIRATION. Day follows day, unci night to night is hung; Year after year tho sea eons madly roll, Yet Had me still no near cr to my goal Than when I roamed the flow- 7y hills among, A free and happy child. When I was young Hope dwelt with me, and to my yearning soul Glad peans sung, now solemn vespers toll And Hope is dead, sweet Hope to whom I clung. Well for the slave who on ly asks for Bleep, The blessed sleep that is too deep for dreams. He nothing sees of sil ver ladders steep Let down from Heaven to rivulets and streams. And. seeing uot, will nev er long to leap Up to the light from which the beacon gleams. Isabel Richey. Millson I understand that your hus band distinguished himself at the club dinner last uigbt. Mrs. Stilson Really? I marvel at that, for, from all that I can gather, I am sure he couldn't distinguish his friends across the table after the fifth course. General P.iniel B. Sickles, who was one of several war generals who spoke at the Lansing a few weeks ago, is an object of constant interest to New Yorkers. The papers never let him alone. Town Topics say?: Frequenters of the Metropolitan opera house and other halls of liht have long been familiar with the noble intellectual beauty of Gen. Daniel B. Sickles, more affectionately known as D.in'l of Posin'. It would be impossible for the opera to proceed without the presence and co operation of that illustrious warrior and statesman. Few people care for the opera. There is no admirer of beauty and genius and true philosophic thought who does not love to gaze upon the shrinking but lovely form of Dan'l of Posin'. Every heart jumps to the mouth when the tap, tap of tho hero's crutches is heard, as he comes into the show about fifteen minutes after it has begun. Ho never comes in be fore for fear of attracting attention. And between the acts how eagerly are beautiful necks craned forward and do beautiful eyes expand with interest as tho great ex sheriff surveys and is surveyed by the audience and hobbles in and out :is quiet as an earthquake. Millbrook Is it true that Highfly girl has actually married a doinine? Max She has gone herself one better she was a woman with a pastand now she is a woman with a pastor. '-Hess Tell out with Arthur because he kissed her." "Are they friends now?'" Yes, they kissed and made up."' Eve Have another apple Adam. Adam No. thank?. Eve You might as well; we're in for it anyway. Father That fellow thaf comes here so often is a pretty chtap man. Daughter Then buy him for me papa. "I know a man who speaks eight lan guages." "What a prize tighter he would make!' There may have been men of valor who were contend to prop themselves up with a wooden leg, but I cannot but think that they thereby innocently de frauded the public.

Those who seo him sea hero, and they know him on sight. A singto glimpse of him is an education Not all tho charms of the finest music sung by the heavenliest and most expensive voices in the world and illustrated by tho choicest artB of scenic decoration can equal in impres eive and elevating effect the sight of Dan'l of Posin coming triumphantly into the opera house fifteen minutes late, for the sake of avoiding notice. I have been to the opera for many years and my bosom ought to bo steeled against sentimental impresnions, but I can never hear or see that martial en trance without a quickening of tho pulse and a tear in $bo ee. There are hundreds of thousands who, with me. look forward to the opera season, not so much from love of the music that is heard from the Btage and tho orchestra, as from their strong desire to hear and see once more the ex-sheriff of Ntw York. He is music, both visible and audible.
