The land is full of lovers, and there's always room for more: O brides of sweet October, bring your sweethearts to the door! The spring has lost its ross and the frost is on the way. But love keeps spring eternal, and her lips are red with May. The brides of sweet October. They are fair, they are fair, To the music of "Lohengrin" Marching down the golden stair. The land is full 0f beauty, and the brides are beauty's own, In spite of summer's fading and the dreams of springtime flown: Tho world is gold with autumn and the hearts are gold with love j That walk besida their sweethearts, where the white stars dream above. The brides of sweet October, Let them come, let them come. To the music of Mendelssohn And the heart beat of the drum. The land is full of wonder, and in wonder and in might The lovers lead the sweethearts to the lilied lanes of light. To autumn's altar's glowing and the crimson aisles of gleam, Where marriage bells of mogic play the plentitudes of dream; The brides of sweet October, On the way, on the way. Oh, they take us back to April And they turn the world to May! AX ASTOR DEAL. "One of the most stringent real estate es-tate rules of the Astor family is 'never sell,' and only one sale is re-Jacob re-Jacob Astor," said Miles F. Watkins, corded in the entire life of old John a real estate broker of New York. "In 1S30 Astor tore down his house in Broadway, cleared the whole block from Vesel to Barclay street and built the huge Quincy granite hotel known as the Astor house, which was one of the first notable landmarks In New York and also one of the best paying pieces of property. "A few days after it was finished the old gentleman and his eldest son, William, were -walking through City Hall nark, where the postolfice now stands, and stopped a moment to admire ad-mire the building, the finest hotel In America at that time. "'Pop. that's a mighty fine building,' build-ing,' said "William. 'I wish to gracious it was mine.' "'So? answered the father. 'Well. Billy, give me $1 and vou 'can have it.' "Out came the dollar a big silver dollar that is cherished by the family fam-ily to this day and within an hour the deed of the property was made out and recorded. This "was old Mr. Astor's only sale of real estate in his life." Washington Herald. . FIRST POST HOUSES. Established by Cyrus, the Founder of the Persian Empire. The first posts are said to have originated orig-inated in the regular couriers established estab-lished by Cyrus the Great about 550 B. C, who erected post r houses throughout the kingdom of Persia. Augustus was the first to introduce this institution among the Romans, 31 B. C, and he was imitated by Charlemagne Charle-magne about S00 A. D. Louis XI was the first sovereign to establish post houses in France, owing to his eagerness eager-ness for news, and they were also the first institution of this nature in Europe. Eu-rope. This was in 14 70, or about 2.000 years after they were started in Persia. In England in the reign of Edward IV (14S1) riders on post horses went stages of the distance of twenty miles from each other in order to procure the king the earliest intelligence of the events that passed in the course of the war that had arisen with the Scots. A proclamation was issued by Charles I in 1631 that, "whereas to this time there hath been no certain intercourse between the kingdoms of England and Scotland, the king now commands his postmaster of England for foreign parts to settle a running post or two between Edinburgh and London to go thither and come back again in six days." THi: CURRENT OF LIFE. Don't look for flaws as you go through life- And even when you find them. It is wise and kind to be somewhat blind -And look for the virtue behind them. For the cloudiest night has a hint of light Somewhere in its shadows hiding; It is better by far to hunt for a star Than the spots on the sun abiding. Tho current of life runs ever away To the bosom of God's great ocean; Don't set your force 'gainst the river's course ' And think to alter its motion. Doti't waste a curse on the universe Remember it lived before you. Don't butt at the storm with your puny form, But bend and let it go o'er you. The world will never adjust itself To suit your whim to the letter; Some things must go wrong your whole . life long. And the sooner you know it the better. It is folly to flght with the Infinite, And go under at last in the wrestle. The wiser man shapes into God's plan As the water shapes into a vessel. Anon. Catholic Union and Times. THE SECOND FIDDLE.

"The sloth bear appears to be the most active of all the bears in the zoo. Whoever misnamed the animal ought to bestow a more appropriate title," said a woman visitor who sat on a bench in front of the bear dens. "A more befitting designation would io Trsu pugihsticus' or something like that, for he is certainly the most pugnacious of all the bruin specimens here. And he gets away with it. too, although he weighs only 250 pounds. I saw him knock out f.he hairy eared bear in a fierce fight over a piece of j meat, and he gets the better of the i great Yezo bear of about 1,000 pounds , in the adjoining Inclosure. They fight through the bars. You can head the , snapping of the big bear's jaws as he fails to catch his opponent. But the j nervous sloth bear is as quick as a i cat with his long claws and gets in a I dig on the other one's muzzle that makes him snort with pain." New York Sun. " HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS TALK- 1N ABOUT.

"Yes; but you can't enter this hospital; hos-pital; it's a "Can't, eh? Vhy not? I was a sob cher. I can prove it." "But this is a veterinary hospital." "I know dot. Ain'd I choost tellin' you dot I'm a veteran?" THE MODERN VERSION. "Where are you going,,, my pretty maid?" "I'm going a-milking, sir," she said. "Dear maiden, I'd like to disclose the fact That I'm an inspector under the Act. So pray remain, for I want to know A thing or two before you go. No, pretty maiden, you must not weep; How far away are pigs you keep? And what percentage of butter fat Does your moo cow yield? Pray tell me that. And how is the health of your pretty pet? Has it anthrax, cancer, blackleg, garget? Has your sister measles or whooping cought? Is the water clean in the drinkig trough?

A Rhode Island justice was called upon to determine the ownership of a brood of turkeys. The flock, consisting consist-ing of fifteen young ones, was mothered moth-ered by two hens, a white one and a bronze, and had been running for quite a time over two adjoining farms. The owner of the white hen declared that the turkeys were his, while the man who owned the bronze hen asserted as-serted just as positive that they belonged be-longed to him. The justice was puzzled. puz-zled. At last a witness came forward who swore that he had seen a dog chase the flock; that at the dog's approach ap-proach the young birds flew up into a tree and the bronze hen took to the woods, but the white hen turned and gave battle to the dog. The justice thereupon decided that the ow ner of the white hen was also the rightful i owner of the brood of young turkevs. j New York Press. t m t i IN MEMORY. j Memory's album opens oft j Unbidden at the place Wherein I fastened years ago The picture of her face.
