TWILIGHT. APTRR THE FRENCH OF VICTOR HUGO. ——— Child, go and pray—tor see! the night is here! Through cloudy rifts the golden lights ap- pear, The hilis’ faint outline trembles in the mist; Scarcely is heard a distant chariot—list! Tbe world’s at rest; the tree beside the 7. Gives to the evening wind the dust of day. Twilight unlocks the hiding-place of stars, They gleam and glow vehind night's shad owy bars, The tringe ef carmine narrows in the west, The moonlit water ties in shining rest, Furrow and fvot path melt and disappear; The anxious traveller doubts the tar and near.
It is the hour when angels stoop to earth To bless our babes and our careless mirth. The littie ones, with eyes upraised in prayer, With tiny, bare, Ask at this twilight hour a blessing dear Of Him who loves his little ones so dear.
folded hands and white feet
Then, while they sleep, a cloud of golden dreams,
Born ib the calm of day's declining beams,
Waiting in shadow till the hour of night;
Fly to each couch and scatter Visions bright;
As joyous bees seek honey-laden flowers,
Dreams hover near in slumber’s peaceful! hours.
O cradled sleep! O prayers of childhood blest!
O baby-voice, speaking a loving breast!
Thy happy prayer the darknevs maketh light,
Turneth to sopg the solemn sounds of night,
As ‘neath his wing the birdie hides his head,
Thou shelterest by thy prayer thy cradle- bed.

A corpulent old iady who had the fat of fifty summers on her ribs was at the Detroit & Milwaukee Depot yesterday to go West on atrain. She hada big satchel and a smal! one, and was crowding through the gate to reach the car, when the guard called oul :—
‘ Ticket, aa’am! Can't pass here till I see your ticket!’
«| hain’t time,”’ she replied.
“Can't pass—can't pass.”
“«T will pass.”
“Can't, madam. The rules are very strict.”’
« You'll make me miss the train!’ she shouted.
“Plenty of time, madam—train does not go for fifteen minutes yet ”
She backed eul, put down her satchels, and afier a jong bunt she found the key and opened the big one. Article after article was taken out and laid aside but she could not find the ticket. Tne smaller satchel was submitied.io the same treatment, the woman ail ihe while growling to herself, and when ten minutes had slipped“away she looked up and inquired :—
«* Whatticket doyou want?”
* Your railroad ticket, of course,” he re-
iied.
«Why, [bad that in my han ail the time, you impudent fellow! she exclaimed, as she hustled the things into the satchels.
‘ Them why dida’t you show it, madam,” he asked.
“ Then why didn’t you say railroad ticket, sir! Youcwantto understand that there are a hundred different kinds of tickets, sir, and if you ever stop me again il go to the head man of the road at once!”—/elrotl Free Press.

There has been an unpleasant scandal up in the neighborhood of Tenth Avenue and the Park. Abouta year and a half ago a young man, a drummer for a commercial house, made his appearance in New York, coming from Chicago, became acquainted with a pretty young woman, paid court to her and married her. They lived. together May, one child being born to busband, under the plea of business which would occupy him ail sum- mer, set out for Atiania, Georgia. Some lit- tle time after the wife received news from Chicago concerning her absent lord which startied her. She made inquiries, and was not long in finding out thet he had left a wife and child in Chicago when he came on East and married her, and that previous io that he had deserted at least one wife io
happily till Jast them; then the
Iowa. Further search showed that he had married a fourth wife, with whom he was living in the honey- moon. A World reporter, bearing of the
complication, sought out the betrayed New fork wife and inquired’ when she proposed taking action to unmask and punish the deceiver, and was somewhat surprised to learn that sbe intended to take no action whatever.
“Oh,” said the reporter in astonishmeut, “the old love—with all his faults you love him etill—that is, you shrink from the pub- licity—"’
“Not at all,” said the belrayed woman, calmly, “but another geutieman is paying attentions to me, and thinks lam widow, and—and you willoblige me by publishing nothing about the matter.’ —N. ¥. World

The triends of Richard Cobden, John Stuart Mill and Daniel O'Connell are be- ginning to think it about time the statues to their memories, subscribed for by public money, were erected. It is about twelve years since Cobden died, and about six years since an experimental! cast ip plaster On a wooden pedestal was exhibited, yet no further progtess has been made, - Ivis four years since the money for Mill's statue was subscribed, and nobody scems to know w! at has‘become of the money, And now
