It Pays to Take the Payers.

A CAPITAL story is told US of an old farmer
in the northern part Of this county, who had
been saving up" 70 take up a mortgage of
$4,000 held against him by man near the
sea shore. The farmer had saved up all the
money in gold, fearing to trust the banks in
war times. Week before last he lugged
down his gold and paid it over when the
following coIloquy ensued:
"Wby, you don't mean to give this g 900
in gold, do your said the lender.
" Yes, certainly" said the farmer. II was
afraid OF the pesky banks, so I've been saw
ing up the money in yellow boys for you
this long" .
"All right, responded the lender, "only
I thought you didn't take the papers. that's
ALL"
"Take the papers No, sir, not L
They've gone on so since the wars been
agoing that I won't have one of the deviIish
things about. But thelmoney is all right
isn't it?"
"Yes, all right, $1,000 in gola. All right,
here's your note and mortgage"
And well lie might have called it all right,
as the premium on gold that day was "A per
cent, and his gold was not only worth the
face of his bonds but $3.50 besides enough
to have paid for his village newspaper for
himself and posterity for at leart five centu-
ries. It pays to take the papers.-NeparE

SOME DAY.
BY FLokENCE PERCY.

"soNB DAY " is the burden of many son
that's never in rythm. Florence Percy has thu
given one Of them.
You smooth the tangles from my hair
With gentle touch and tenderest care,
And count the years ere you shall mark,
Bright silver threads among the dark
Smiling the while to hear me say,
"Youn think of this some day,
Some dayi"
lido not scorn the power Of Time,
Nor count on years of fadeIess prime,
But no white CLEANS will ever shine
Among those heavy locks of mine;
Aye, laugh as gaily as you may,
" You'll think Of this again some day,
Some day."
Some day shall not feel as now,
Your soft hands move about my brow
I shall not slight your light commands,
And draw the long braids through my hands
shall be silent and obey
And you-you viii not laugh that day;
Some dayi
I know how long your loving hands
VIII finger with those glossy bands,
When you shall weave my last, last crown
Of these thick braidings, long and brown;
But you will see no touch Of gray
AdOwn their shiny length that day
Some day!
And while your tears are falling hot
Upon the lids which answer not,
You'll take from those one treasured tress,
And leave the rest in silentness-
Remembering that 1 used to say,
You'll think Of this again some day

A Grand Old Race.

B. F. TAYLOR thus describes race between
two railroad trains. The incident is no
much Of a wonder but the description is
The tracks of the Michigan Southern an,
the Chicago, Pittsburg and Fort Wayne
Roads lie, fer few miles, within hailing dis
tance. They are smooth, straight and tempt
ing. The other night I was on board th'
Michigan Southern, eastward bound, anc
looking out of a window into the darkness
saw light projected upon the blank prairie
anu kindling up the Pittsburgh rails as if it
cars ran upon a silver track.
1t was the flash of an eye that I saw, anC
as our speed was checked at crossing, the
train bound for the Iron City pulled up and
for q minute we stood neck and neck. Like
the hammers of Vulcan's one-eyed strikers
the trains clattered over the crossing, ant
away we went. The snapestic clank-te-clanE
of the wheels shortened up; the motion o.
the train grew steady; there was an angry
hum little like spindle; the train thrilled
like nerve, and it was all as graceful and
easy as flying. Up burst the sparks from the
Pittsburgh engine like ehaf from a thrash
ing aoor;" the polished shafts flashed in the
light, and "buckled to " like rower's naked
arms when he comes down upon the home
stretch; the furnace door few open with a
great glare; every twinkling window was
fun of faces The long train looked as if one
street had eloped from Chicago under cover
of the night and had gone gipsying with
another. Samson was outdone. He bore
away Gazas gates, but 10, here was Gaza's
SELF
You heard the cIang of iron; you saw the
trail of fire, it was as if the train were being
fashioned out of midnight upon an anvil
So for a while, side by side At last our
Pittsburgh Leighbor began to draw in; to
slide back into the darkness; to shut togeth-
er ike telescope By and by, we caught
a glance at its eye again; it had neither lid
nor lashes and its expression was not loving;
we had it fairly astern; and just then, it
wheeled away on a great curve; our part
ing was well made" We Jared on our way
rejoicing. and every drowsy passenger that
had been frightened in to qdick sympathy
with the train, as much part Of it as wheels
and axIes, drew in, coiled up, fell into heap
of indistinguishabIe garments Let nobody
Iliin5 there had been a race; possibly, the
iron thoroughbreds had pulled an extra
ounce or so upon tie bit. But it was only
bringing two Of tribe together; it was
steam and its brother side by side Now,
bring on your classics and let US make a
match Of it. Do this "heat OF the flying
tea-kette into Greek for us, and you may
stable your war-chariots with the wheeIbar-
rows.
