They say this life is barren, drear and cold. Ever the same sad song was sung of old, Ever the same long weary tale is told. And to our llptf is held the cup of strife, A nd yet a little love can sweeten life. - They say our hands may grasp but Joys destroyed. Youth has bat dreams, and age an aching void, Whose Dead-sea fruit long, long ago bas cloyed, Whose night with wlkt tempestuous storms Is rife And yet a little hope can. brighten life. They say we fling ourselves in wild despair Amidst the broken treasures scattered there, Where all Is wrecked, where all once promised fair; And stab ourselves with sorrow's two edged knife And yet a little patience strengthens life. Is it then' true, this tale of bitter grief, -O -mortal anguish finding no relief? Lo! midst the winter shines the laurel's leaf: Three Angels share the lot of human strife. Three Angels glorify the path of life. Love, Hope, and Patience cheer us on our way, Love, Hope, and Patience form our spirit's stay, Love. Hope, and Patience watch us day by day, And bid the desert bloom with beauty vernal, Until the Earthly fades in the Eternal. Itniple Bar. OBSERVATIONS. ' When a man is shot in Kansas, says the Boston Post, the verdict is that he died a natural death. Said a Chicago belle: "I despise those St Louis girls. They can't work their Jaws three minutes without hissing out the all-flredest slang. Oh, you bet that's so!" "Are you a home ruler?" was asked of one of the candidates at the late election. A voice from the back seats answered, "No, but his wife Is." His name -la "not "May-I-shoot-a-long-horned-cow" that is, If the King of Slam's name is re ferred to. He writes It this way: "Mahah Chuta longkora KIow." ...

A Remarkable Chapter in the Hiktory of Crime. Richmond State. To-day Thomas Webb (white) was discharged from the penitentiary where he had served out a term of three years for shooting and wounding his brother. Webb belongs to a family with a re markable history. It seems that Thos. Webb was his father's favorite son, and it was generally known that he would inherit the most valuable part of the old man's property. His elder brother, Gen. H. Webb, determined to get him out of the way and was laying in wait for him with a double-barreled shot gun, upon learning which fact Thomas armed himself with a rifle, and coming upon the General in the woods, blazed away. The ball went through his brother's shoulder, inflicting a painf ul but not serious wound. He was tried for this offence and sent to the peniten tiary for three years. Some time after being shot by his brother, Gen. Webb was himself sent to the penitentiary for shooting, and was discharged from that institution in Oc tober, 18T8. Last year he murdered his father-in-law, who was his uncle as well. He did this to get the old man's property. For this crime he was hung in Carroll county about three months ago. Reporting a Sermon by Telephone. Special Dispatch to the Philadelphia Times. Williamsport, May 30. This morn ing the church of Rev. Thomas K. Beecher, Elmira, was connected with the Gazette and Bulletin office of this city by telephone, and a portion of his sermon stenographically reported for the paper. The wires of the American Union Telegraph Company, were used and the prayer, announcement of the hymn and text were distinctly heard. jxeany every word ot "the sneaker could be heard in Williamsport during the course of an ordinary sermon, and the music by tne organ could be heard as plainly as if it had been only fifty ieec away, xne cnurcn Delis in JSlmira were also heard in Williamsport, ring ing clear and distinct. The onlv draw- hack to hearing nearly every word ut tered by Mr. Beecher was when the cars and engines were passing over the track of the Erie Railway in Elmira and on the track of the Northern Cen tral, This had the effect of deadeninar the sound; otherwise the experiment was a success, ana demonstrated that the telephone can be used for hear ing sermons a hundred miles away. The distance between Williamsport and Elmira is seventy-eight miles. 11 n 1 i mi 1 Two Robin Hang: a Sparrow. Troy (N. Y ) Press. About one hundred persons wit nessed a curious spectacle at Lansing burg, N. Y recently. It was nothing more nor less than a bird execution. An English sparrow had by some means Incurred the displeasure of a pair of red-breasted robins, nested in a tree near Rawson Hall. A fight took place between the sparrow and robins on the rear of the roof of the Rawson Hall building. The sparrow fought pluckily, until all at once one of the robins flew off while the other kept up the fighting. The robin messenger soon returned with a piece of cord that was soon wound around the sparrow's neck, and the end held in the bill of one of the executioners. This done the sparrow was forced off the edge of the roof and briskly attacked by the other robin. Thus situated the sparrow was comparatively helpless and in a short time hung suspended by the neck, dead. After holding their victim and picking him until assured he was beyond resur rection, the victorious robins flew to their nest in the tree, singing merrily, as though glorying over their van guished foe. Emigrant for Liberia Tlie bark Monrovia, sailed from New Yoik Saturday for Monrovia, Liberia, with seventy-six colored emigrants. They are sent out by the American Colonization Seciety, which will .take care of them for six months after their arrival. Forty-four are oyer twelve years of age, and most of the men are farmers. Miss Scott, a missionary who came to lew York to raise money to build a girl' school-house, is a passen ger. A party of emigrants sailed last week in the bark Liberia, and eleven remained in New York awaiting an op portunity to go.

Philadp.lnhla Timps Dr. Philm Leidv. of this ctv h no nra. sented to ihe Wistar and Horner Muse um or the University of Pennsylvania a rare and valuable curiosity to medi cal science. It is a'monstrosity in the snape or iwo perreciiy developed child ren, joined together from the shoulders to the hips, and kuown in medical lit erature as omphalopagus gastro thora co didymus, meaning a combination of the anatomical parts connected, in the lisrht of which the Siamese twins ai-P cast far into the shade.

Dr. Leidy says there is no record in American medical literature of such another case, and it is claimed that there is but one case of the kind ever reported, that mentioned by Dr. Voorman, a German physician, in an exhaustive treatise on monstrosi ties. There are live different species of this form of monstrosity, of which tho above is regarded as the crownine- snp. cimen, the one of the most rare occur rence. The Siamese twins belonged to one of the series. First, according to medical men. twro bodies mav be ioined at the thorax; next at the sternum; next at the ziphoid cartilage ; fourth, at the abdomen, and fifth, at all four places combined, and of this kind is ths specimen in the possession of Dr. Lei- ay. ine monstrosity, which is regard ed as a great contribution to medical science, was removed on Fridav last hv Dr. Leidy. assisted bv Drs. .7.

A Winking: Photograph. The Last new kink in photography surpasses the ingenuity of the man who invented the spirit photographs, and suggests how handy it would have been had that crafty person added this to his devices. A Frenchman takes one ne gative of a sitter with open eyes. Then ne makes the sitter shut his eyes and re main in exactly the same position while another negative is taken. The two negatives are printed on the same pa per, one on each side, exactly coinciding. When this doubled-f aced picture is held in proper position before a lamp, and the lamp is rapidly moved or caused to nicker, the curious effect is produced of long-continued winking. It is not claimed that a person looks more beauti ful when he keeps winking, but it cannot be denied that it gives one a very inter esting appearance. "Vou Wrote Me Up In Your Sheet.'
