Show N my heart there lies a casket. Fettered by a band of gold, And this casket holds a treasure, For its' wealth could not be told. Long, ago I hushed the sighing Of this being, 9 slumber fast Would you know the prisoned sleeper? 'Tis the Memo.7 of the Past. Love's fond prayer can wake It never, ' Snow white lids are closed for aye; And the lyre the trembling fingers! Used to touch is hushed alway. 1 And the key is' safely hidden : In oblivion deep and fast, And no hand shall break the fetters From the Memory of the Past, Once the lyre, now hushed forever, In the silent, pulseless hands, rhrllled my breast with keenest anguish Till I forged the golden band. Dnce my heart was bruised and beaten Asia reed before the blast, But Its sorrow sleeps forever With the Memrry of the Past. Mrs. Emma Ammerman. moment more and sudden destruction would be upon her. The gentleman opened his; lips to cry out. Half a mile of valley separated him from the woman. He could only sit frozen with horror and with eyes glued to the opposite hill awaiting the end. The woman had stopped her team and eat as if petrified; It was Impossible to turn round or even to turn out. If she did nothing it was because; there was nothing to be done. Suddenly, to his unutterable amaze-me- n t the watcher saw the woman rise deliberately in her seat, raise her arm and; fire. There was a flash, a put! of smoke, a report, and simultaneously the outer of the two frenzied horses stumbled, fell and pitched; headlong, dragging his companion and the wagon over into the gorge belowp All this had passed in a flash. The watcher, stupefied and gasping, sat gazing at- the valley, into the depths of Which the mad vision had disappeared. Then he looked at the mountain opposite. ' The narrow roaa was perfectly free, the air was still as before, the silence unbroken, and the team with the" eolltary woman was quietly winding, up the road again. The man, too, resumed his climb, but with an indelible picture burnt upon his brain. Who the woman . was he never knew. A pioneer and a mother of pioneers probably, whose frontier life had made her familiar with danger and swift in emergencies. i :y:ly.:Ayy-;.,-An instant's Indecision, the trembling of a hand would have been fatal; but both brain and hand were under absolute control.

Lady Douglas is getting a foretaste of the vicissitudes of married life, f The couple are stopping at the Alameda Hotel, on Park street, near Buena Vista avenue. They have been at the hotel for" the past Ave days. The hotel Is conducted by Mrs. Sauriders and is used principally ror lodging purposes, says the San Francisco Chronicle. L Lord and Lady Douglas were given the best irooms in the house and the use of the dining room and kitchen. Lady Douglas cooks the meals and washes her own dishes, while his lordship meekly assists by wiping the dishes. The presence in Alameda of the titled couple was a profound secret: and would ' have probably remained so for some time had not Lady Douglas turned her dainty foot in Park street the other day. As a result of the accident her ankle was slightly sprained and! she visited a drug store to obtain some liniment. She there met a gentleman who knew her when she was Miss Addis,j and the secret was out. Lord Douglas and his wife rode about the city with a real estate agent yesterday in search of a furnished house. They decided to rent F. G.
