THE FOOTSTEPS OF OlCAY.
[Translated flrom Sm Spanish.}
Oh 1 let the soul its slumbers break,
Arouse its senses, asd awake
To see how eoon
Life, v th its glories, glidee away,
And the stern footsteps of decay
Come rolling on I
How pleasure, like the passing wind,
Blows by, and leaves ut nought behind,
But "rief at last.
How still our present happiness
Seems, to the wayward fancy, less
Then what is paat 1
And while we view the rolling tide
Down which our flowing minutes glide
Away so fast,
Let us the present hour employ
And deem each future dream a Joy
Already past.
Let no vain hope deceive the mind,
No happier let us hope to find
To-morrow than to-day;
Our golden dreams of yore were bright
Like them the present shall delight—
Like them decay.
Our birth ia but the starting-place;
Life is the running ' the ~iee,
And death the goal;
Thero all oar steps at last are brought—
That path, alone of ail unsought,
Is found of all.
Onr liveslike hasting streams owl be,
That into one enguLiiig sea
Are doomed to fall—
The sea ot death 1 whose waves roll on
O'er king and kingdom, crown and throne,
And swallow all.
Alike the river's lordly tide,
Alike the streamlet's gentle glide
To that sad wave!
Death leveN poverty and pride—
The rich and poor sleep side by aide
Within the grave.
Long ere the damps of death can blight,
The cheeka' pure glow of red and white
Hath pasaedaway I
Youth smiled and all waa vainly fair;
Age came and laid his flngera there,
And where an they?
Where is the strength that marked decay,
The atep that rose so light and gay.
The heart'a blithe tone?
The strength ia gone; the atep is slow;
And joy grows weariness and woe,
When age comea oni
Say, then, how poor and little worth
Are all the glittering toys of earth
That lure us here 1
Dreams of a steep that death must break
Alas I before it bids us wake', ^
Ye diaappear!

Psa is the eapitsl of tbe Department
of Bosses-Pyrenees, situated on tbe right
bank of tbe Oave-de-Pso river, 105 miles
southeast of Bordeaux. Standiug on a
rocky height, divided into two parts by
a deep ravine through wbiob runs a small
stream forming a ¿auction there with the
river, it commands towards tbe south
msgnificient views of tbe Western Pyre
mas; sad, tadeed. Pan is remarkable for
the picturesque variety of the inouutain
scenery which begirts it ou every side.
The town, wbiob hss a population of
about tweuty thousand, contains exten-
sive msnufsciories of linen and various
kiuds of olothK besides producing large
quantities of the wiue known as Juran-
con. There is a palace of justice, a dne
promenade, a commodious theatre, a
public Bqnare with a bronze statue oL
Henry IV., a university, academy,
museum, and a horary of twenty-live
thousand volumes. Pan is a favorite re-
sort of English tourists during tbe winter
deyirous of exploring the
Pyrenees generally select this as their
starting point.
The famous castle, which may be the
Pspsl residence, is bsilt fK) the ridge
overlooking the river« snd forms alto-

landscape. It ba# five towers, suited to-

tux facts about ass stunom vita scm
w. oaiswour.
A story under the title oI the "Un-
known Love of Alioe Gary," in the
newspapers, ia still traveling through the
length of the land. It asserts that in
her youth she was affianced to Bufus W.
Griswold ¡ that he was false to her—for
saking her for a wotan of the world ;
that long after, when he returned to New
York, friendless, poor and sick, she for
Save him the great wrong that he had
one, and nursed him till he did. This
story, in many conflicting phases, was
often, to her annoyauoe, told of her do*
ring her life. The fact that Bufus W.
Griswold did in his will bequeath to her
| his personal effects was made rnuoh of in
print and private circles, and used as an
unanswerable proof that at one time he
bad been her lover. Within a week I
have read a letter to tbe New York Even
ing Post that the will proved the luvo
and relationship between the two persons
beyond a doubt Yet no less, in its foun-
dation, tbe story is false. Referring to
it once, while we two sat alone together,
Alice said to me : "I will tell youfjust
tbe truth. If you ever think it neoessary
yon can tell it" I believe it to be but
justice to her sacred life, with whioh idle
gossip is y#t too busy, to tell it now.
Bereavement fat death and in life had
made her Western home too desolate to
be borne. These, with the impulse of
the brave will that served her to the last,
brought her to New York to make not tbe
life that she would have chosen for her-
self, yet a life worthy to be lived. "Ig-
norance stood me ia tbe stead of oour-
age," abe said. "Had I knowa tbe
great world as I have learned it since, I
should not have dared; but I did'nk
Thus I came. The leading litterateur at
that time was Dr. Bnfns Griswold. He
bad compiled the books called "The Fe-
male Prose Writer," and "Tbe Female
Poeta of America." He was sharply on
tbe look-out for every new genius in lit-
erature that appeared. He had visited
the sisters in their Ohio borne, and in
1850 obtained a publisher for their first
volume, and had added both their names
with selections from their poems to bis
own "Poets of America. He knew
everything necessary to their sweet in
the sphere of labor which they had oho-
sen, while they practically knew next to
nothing. He encouraged and helped
them in many ways, and thus command-
ed their gratitude. For Alice to inour
a debt of gratitude was to pay it, if at
tbe cost of her Ufe. Yet the goad will
of one type of man to a woman is often
a misfortune. Her soul may be white aa
saow ; yet be eaaaot take her innocent
name apon bis lips without smirching it
with somewhat of his own vileness. His
vanity baa been flattered by idle women
till conquest has been net only the habit
but the necessity of his morbid and mis-
erable sjuI, till, where be knows be has
not won it, he yet is base enough to boast
of it. Such a man (judging by every re-
cord left by him) wasBefua W. Griswold.
He was a man of poetic temperament, of
fine scholarship, of generous impulses,
and in certain directions, of rare gifts;
yet no lose be was a man of fickle fan-
cies, of violent temper, which often fell
upon his dearest friends, of monstrous
vanity and of ungoverned passions. "I
was never engaged to him in marriage ;
I uever loved him," said Alice Gary to
me. "I could not have loved suoh a
tnau, though I learned him in hia best
phases. 1 came to pity him, because be
was his own worst enemy. As a friend I
loved him much, and before his death I
found it in my power to pay back in part
my large debt of gratitude. When he
returned to New Yoirk, poor and sick,
with certain death before him, I, with
Miss , hired a room and nurse for
him. From that they have made the ro-
mán tio story of my nursing him for un-
requited, love. It was old Betsey who
nmsed him. You know how big and
strong she is ; yet even she became worn
out, for bis sickness was long and very
painful. Many unkind, even cruel things
have been said because he willed to me
his personal effects. Besides tbe books
and pictures which be bequeathed to the
Historical Society, these were all that he
possessed, and he left them to me more
ont of personal regard than for a desire
to repay as far as he was able the money
whioh I had expended for his comfort
during his last long sickness." In the
ofoundest sense Alice Gary never loved
it once. The man she loved is still
alive, yet gossip, with its keenest soent,
has never found or named him. With
all her fullness of affection, hers was an
eleotic and solitary soul. He who, by the
very patent of bis being, was more to
her than anyother mor tal could be, might
pass from her life, but no other oould
ever take his place. A proud and pros-
perous family brought all their pride and
power to bear on a son to prevent his
marrying a girl uneducated, rustió and
poor. "I waited for one who never came
back,** abe said; "yet I believed be
would come, till I read in a paper his
marriage to another. Can you think
what life would be—loving one, waiting
for one who would never oome?" He
did oome at last. Hia wife bad died.
Alioe was dying. Tbe gay-haired man
sat down betide the gray-haired woman.
Life bad dealt prosperously with him. as
ia its wont with men. Suffering aad
death had taken all from her, aave tbe
lustre of her wondrous eyes. From her
waa and wasted laoe they abone upon
him full of tenderness aad /oath. Thus
they met with life behind them—they
who parted plighted lovers, when life
waa young. He was the man whom she
forgave for her blighted and weary life,
with a smile ot partiig as divine aa ever
lit the face of woman.—Mary Olemmer

Every one has some strange experience
to relaté. Tbe wife of one of the first
citisens of Chicago—a man of great wealth
and whose honse wee famed for a genial
hospitality—was separated from her
husband, and with two email child sen,
driven into the edge of tbe lake, and
oroucbed shivering in the shallow water
for honra, when she ventured upon tbe
land again, and walked sis miles to tbe
house of a friend. The daughter of a
prominent gentelmen who bad one of tbe
handsomest residences in Chicago, and
was well able to enjoy it, was obliged to
takwher place, with a basket on her arm,
in a line of sufferers seeking food, and
there was recognised by a ruffian and
thrust out of the line with an exclamation
of joy that she was "on ths same level
with tbe rest of ns now." A resolute
businessman, believing, for an hour or
two before bis store was swept away, that
tbe fire wai uncontrollable, succeeded in
removing a quantity of valuable goods to
tbe l*ke shore. When the fiery bail des-
cended there, he found a tub which he
plaoed oa hia bead, and remained brush-
ing tbe embers irom a |tot of goods, and
watting them; and, when the danger was
over, he had tbe satisfaction of ascertain-
ing that he had proteo ted, with desperate
energy, and at the risk of hie life, the
property of another. His pile, left un-
guarded, was consumed. While the
blade smoke was still aseeadiag and the
streets were hot, the wind ewept though
the ruins, with tbe breath and dust of a
Sahara sirocco, a business man made his
way to tbe ruins of the courthouse, and
there he declares he saw flying across tbe
square a white owl, He is not sn
imaginative or superstitious person, but
most literal and exact in his statements,
but be confesses to have been slightly
disturbed to see aa owl just then. It
bad aa uncanny look, even to a parsoa.
The graet bell of the city was in tbe
courthouse, and the noise that it made
in falling was heard through all the uproar
by almost everybody. As the fire be-
came irresistible the great bell was soun-
ded incessantly to warn all bearers ot tbe
peril that beset them. The clamor oeased
as the fire took possession of tbe oonrt-
bouse, and then the ioug reverberation
tbe bell as it tumbled and crashed
down tbe tower, and tbe great, dull, far
resounding throb that it ghve wbea it
8truek tbe earth, seemed to tbe maddened
fugitives driven before the flames some
thing superbumsn—a voice calling that
att was lost.
A Gibl Scsobok.—Italy, that land of
wonders, at preeent has a sensation in
the person of La Begina del Cin, a peas-
ant, whose skill in setting dislocated
limbs surpasses that of trained Italian
surgeons—at least, those who practice
in and about Ceneda-Vittoria, where she
lives. Her mother bed a "natural gift"
for correcting distorted limbs, straighten-
ing them out and setting them when they
were dislocated, and thir gift abe seems
to have bestowed upm her daughter.
When yet young the girl was accustomed
attentively to examine tbe legs of fowls
and other small animals, and thus picked
np some knowledge of comparative ana-
tomy, whioh she afterward completed
by examining that of a man at a hospital
to whioh she was admitted. She waa
unable to read or write, and waa, in fact,
so extremely ignorant as not to konw the
names of tbe bones she nevertheless eet,
when more learned practitioners declared
that snob aa operation was impossible
Her great success attracted tbe attention
of physicians, who managed to have her
sentenced to two months* imprison met,
akhogh the sentenoe was aot carried into
effect. Finally, however public opinion
decided that they were a t to be iater-
fered with, and the authorities g ive her
mission to sttend to as many cases ot
lotion as she should choose to, aad so
her native town has become famoaa, aad
cripples from all parts of Kurope flacks
to it to be healed.
