There was silence when he finished, until

strange intelligence blended with naughty re-

THE NOBLE REVENGE.

The uWoo was PLAIN oDe-a poor misers-
bic pine coffin. No flowers on it's top, nc
lining of the rose white satin for the pale
brow, no smooth ribbons about the coarse
shroud. .'
The brown hair was laid decently back but
there was the crimped cap, with its neat tie
be meath the chin. The sufferer from cruel
poverty smiled in her sleep she has found
bread, rest and health.

the hopeless. helpless orphan, clutch

childish bloom ever fingered. Oh! it was
pitiful to hear him cry, ''Only once, let me
see my mother only once."
Quickly and brutally the hard hearted
monster struck the boy away, so that he
reeled with the blow. For moment the boy
stood painting with grief and rsge-his blue
eyes distended, his lips sprang apart, a fire
gittered through his tears, as he raised his
puny arm, and with his most unchildish ac-
cent screamed. "When am a man, I'll kill
you for that"
There was coffin and heap of earth be-
fore the mother and the poor forsaksn child

How Money Comes.


Queer John has sung how money goes,
But how it comes, who knows? who knows?
Why every Yankee mothers son
Can tell you how " the thing" is doue.
1t comes by honest toll and trade,
BY welding sledge and driving spade,
And building ships, balloons and drums;
And that's the way the money comes.
How does it come? Why, as it goes,
BY spinning, weaving, knitting hose,
BY stitching shirts and coats for Jews,
Erecting crutches, renting pews,
And manufacturing boots and shoes;
For thumps, and twists, and cuts, and hues,
And heads and hearts, tongues, lungs and
And that sthe way the money comes. thumbs;
How does it come? The way is plain
By raising cotton, corn and cane;
BY wind and steam, lightning and rain;
BY guiding ships across the main
BY building bridges, roads and dams,
And sweeping streets, and digging clans,
With whistles, hi S, hos, and huns;
And that's the way the money comes.
The money comes-how did say?
Not Arrays in an honest way;
1t comes by tricks as well as toll,
But how is that? Why, slick as oil,
BY putting peas in coffee bags;
By swapping watches, knives and nags,
And peddlng eoodem clocks and piatms;
And that's the way the money comes.
How does it come? Wait, let me see
1t very seldom comes to me;
1t comes by rule, | guess, and scale,
Sometimes by riding on rail;
But ottener that's the way it goes.
From silly bellies and fast young beaux;
1t comes in big, nay, little sums;
And that the way the money comes.
