Between THE EBB AND FLOW.

The evening breeze is singing low
A lullaby today,
have question I would ask
Before it dies away.
The pebbles on the beach are dry,
The tide has sunken low;
A little form is standing there
Between the ebb ind flow.
A tangled mass Of soft brown hair,
Two eyes cast meekly down,
4 little face the sun has kissed,
Two cheeks little brown;
Two little lips that pout and says,
.'r do not think know"
Two little lips that tell hb,
Between the sbb and flow.
A little heart that longing waits
To know what next twill hear,
4 little face that shyly looks
To see ifstill I'm near.
Alb little heart that whispered "Yes,"
Though pou,ing lips said "No,"
You thought that you'd be asked again,
Between the ebb and fow.
A little face half.frightened, when
I turn to 60 away,
Two little hands that slyly reach
AS if to bid me stay;
A little voice that softly says,
did not mean that "No}
4 little pride that we'll was lost,
Between the ebb and flow.

From the Paterson Guardian.1
WHAT "a CHEW OF TORACO DID FOR
ANILEINOIS POSTMASTER.

A "chaw" has sent man to the peni.
:ru.iary. Il seems that registered
letter which had been forwarded to
Chicago, from one of the country post
Offices, was tampered with at some point
on the route. Upon arriving at the
place Of destination, FIVE 500 bills which
ought to have been in the envelope were
not to be found. The matter was put
into the hands of a skilful detective for
investigation. Upon soaking the en-
velope be discovered where it had been
opened and resealed. He then e1-
amined the mucilage with microscope,
and saw that small particles of plug to-
bacco adhered to the paper.
At once the officer resolved to track
through the various Offices, and see who
of the Government employees had hand
led letters, chewcd plug. For some
time the case looked like boneless one.
The Post Office clerks in the rural
districts nearly all chewed fine cut.
Finally al the very Office in which the
letter was mailed, the postmaster offer
ed the official some plug, in response to
a request for chew, and, as if the an
fortunate official was bent upon his own
recrimination, he remarked that che
had never chewed anything else but
plug"
Upon this statement :he detective ran
the risk aud arrested the surprised
countryman, not for chewing plug to-
bacco, but for robbins the United States
mail. Upon searching the Office the
missing bill we're found we'll folded up
IN an old fashioned daguerreotype case.
The dishor est postmaster is filling au
engagement at the Illinois Penitentiary.
