Whenever hereafter you look upon this tear speckled pass will you not think of me? Remember that you have cast me from you and that I Ist inst. can am wandering across the bleak and wind-swept plains sadly enumerating the ties of my way eternity. I do not say this to reproach you, for I fear that you care tor another, and so we could not again be hap- pily together, But, O! do you pause to tully comprehend the pang it costs me to return this pleasant faced little pass with its conditions on the back? even to Could you see me now as I write these lines, turning away ever and anon, laying aside my trembling pen to go and sit by the grate and shudder Weep and put out the fire with bitter tears, your heart woul and you would. say, wanderer, return!’ and my d soften “Return, O You do not say in your letter that T have been false to you or that I have ever grown cold. You do not charge me with infidelity or. tailure to provide, You simply say that it would be better for each to go his several ways, forgetting that my several ways are passing away, pas- sing away. It is all very well tor you to talk about going your several ways You have every facility tor doing so, but with me it is different. Several years ago a large northwestern cy- clone and myself tried to pass each other 0a the same track. When the wrecking crew found me sI was in the crotch of a Butternut tree with a broken leg. Since that time I have walked with great difficulty, and to 80 my several ways has been a very serious matter with me. But Ido not want you to thinx that] am murmunng. 1 accept my doom calmly, yet with a slight tinge ot unavailing regret. Some time, perhaps in the middle ot the dark and angry night, when the cold blasts wail through the telegraph wires and the crashing sleet rushes with wild and impetu- ous fury against the windows of your special car, as you le warmly ensconced in your voluptuous berth and croupy moans chase each other around the Kansas haystacks or shriek wildly away as they light out for their cheerless home in the Bad Lands, will you not think of me as I grope on blindly through the keen and pitiless blasts, stumbling over cattle guards, falling into culverts, and beating out my rare young brains against your mght of way, will you not think of me? I do not ask much of you, but I do ask this as we separate forever. As you whiz by me do not treat me with contumelv or throw crack- ers at me whenI have meekly turned out to let your haughty old train go by. Ihave always spoken of you in the highest terms and hope you will do the same by me. Life 1s short at the best, and it is especially so for those who have to walk. Walking has aheady short- ened my lite a great deal and I wouldn’t be surprised if the ex- posure and bunions of 1887 carried me off, Jeaying a gap in American literature that will look hke a new celler. Should any of your engineers or trackmen find me frozen in a cut next winter when the grass gets short and the nights get long, will you kindly ask them to report the brand to your auditor and instruct him to allow my family what he thinks would be right?

Can I be of service to you over your right of way by collecting nuts, bolts, ol iron and other bric-a-brac? I would be glad to influence immigration or pull weeds between the track if yo would be willing to regard me as an employe. 1 will now take a last look at the fair young features of your pass be- fore finally sealing this letter, How sad to see an annual pass cut down in life’s young morning, ere one- had been rund How touchful to part from at fos ever! fourth of its race What a sad year this has been se far! Earthquakes, fires, storms, railway disasters, and death in every form haye visited our country, and now, hke the biting blasts from Siberia or the nipping frosts tron Manitoba, comes the congressional cut worm, cutting off the early crop ot flowering annuals just as they had budded to bloom into beauty and usetulness. I will now close this sad letter to go over into the vacant lot behind the high board fence where I can sob in an unfettered way without shaking the glass out ot my case- ment.

On examination, two bees, one large and the other small, are discovered crawling among the flowers. The small bee runs rapidly from one flower to another, completing the - circle in an hour, while the large one takes twelve hours to finish the circuit. The parchment surface » unbroken, and the bees simply lad upon it, but two magnets, connected with the clockwork inside the tam- bourine, move just under the mem- brane, and the insects, which are of iron, follow them.
