JACK AND ME.

Here y'Are, -! Black your boots, bNs
Do it for jest Eve cents,
Shine 'em up In a minute,
That's # nothing prevents.
Set your foot right on there, sir,
The mornin's kinder cold
sorter rough on feller
When his coats = gettin' old.
Well, yes-eall it q coat, sir,
Though faint much more'n tear;
Can't get myself another
Amt got the stamps to spare.
Make IS much as most on EN-
That's so; but then, yer see.
They've only got one to do for
There's two on US, Jack and me.
Himl Why-that little feller.
With doubled-up sortsr back,
sittin' there on the gratin'
sunnin' hisself-that's Jack.
Used to be round sellin' papers,
The cars there was his lay,
But he got showed of the platform
Under the wheels one day;
Yes the conductor did it
Gave him a regular throw
Didn't care if he killed him,
Some on 'em is just so.
Hes never been all right since, sir,
sorter quiet and queer
Him and me go together.
Hes what they call cashier
High old style for boot-black-
Made all the fellers laugh
Jack and me had to take it,
But we don't mind no chat.
Trouble-I guess not much, sir,
Sometimes when bis gets slack,
don't know how I'd stand it
If'twaan't for little Jack.
Why, boss, you ought to hear him,

How rough luck is down here, sir,
Ifso...e day we get up there.
All done now-how's that, sirl

He looks after the stamps.

Death of Rev. Albert Barnes.

This venerable Presbyterian di-
vine died at Philadelphia the day
before Christmas. The Press Of
Monday says:
On Saturday afternoon last, In company
with his daughter, he left his residence, at No.
1909 Walnut street, West Philadelphia, for a
visit to friend residing about mile distant.
He walked the entira distance and reached the
house Of his friend considerably fadgusd.
Entering, he took a seat and awaited the conn
ing of the family, when suddenly and without
uttering an exclamation he fell back upon his
chair and expired. Thus passed away, full Of
years and honors, one Of the most memorable
men of our time and land, whose fame Is only
surpassed by the love which the millions who
have read his writings and been instructed by
them bore him.
Mr. Barnes was born at Rome, New York,
December l, 179S. He graduated in 1870, at
the age Of TWENTY-FIVE In November Of the
same year he entered Princeton College, New
Jersey, where he underwent thorough theo,
logical training. In April, 1924, be vas
licensed to preach, and In 1880 came to this
city and became connected with the Firss
Presbyterian Church, and presided over It up
to within Jew years ago, when he was sue
ceeded BY its present able divine, Raw. d,
Herrick johnson.
By his numerous writings and aBlble Com
mentaries" In particular, Mr. Barnes had earn
ed a worldwide reputation. His Bible COM
mentaries, adopted IN every Sunday-school,
and nearly every Protestant family In the
land prove him to have been dihgnt student
and most profound expouDder Of the Scrip
lures. These were often written in the midst
of the most srduous duties, and nearly depriv-
ed him Of his eyesight, the result Of labor
while others were asleep. The circulation Of
his 'Notes on the New Testament Is said 70
have reached a million volumes. They Wsrs
extensively translated, and have been adopted
by many biblical students Of the Old World
Two other of his works, "a Lie Of st PauP'
and Evidences Of Christianity. had wide
circulation. He also published le works on
on "Episcopaey," on the "Scri sVieWs Of
Slavery" and other subjects, beside numerous
contributions to periodicals and occasional es-
says and discourses.
As pulpit orator ne ranked deservedly
high. Calm clear, and impressive In delivery
and with an easy, natural eloquence, he belong
ed to the front rank Of American deVinss. At
the division Of his denomination Mr.. Barnes
sided with the New School portion. The last
sermon he delivered to his old congregation
was on the morning Of the 18th Of the present
month. On the afternoon Of the sane day he
preached his last sermon on earth ct the
House Of Refuge to its inmates.

The b'hoys got on a spree at q
beer saloon, east of the DePuy
House, one night, not long since,
and induced the proprietor Of the
saloon, who bad also been indulging,
to join in dance. While the dance
went on and Joy was unconfned,

the compound, were soon on FIRE,

drove the dog-meat-eaters from the

THE FIRl ENGINE, %.

By this time the fremen were on
the ground with their steam engines
and other apparatus, but owing to
the fact that the plugs were frozen
found difficulty in procuring water
with their accustomed dispatch. De
spite the weather, however, which
turned the water to icicles as if by
magic, they toiled on, but they found
that to save the SpottswoOd was a
useles task, and that the Grant build
ings we're doomed. The hook and
ladder company all the while were
doing their best to save the inmates
of the hotel as they appeared at the
windows. Citizens, among them Mr..
Robert Scammel, Mr.. Shields, a son
of policeman Shields, John, jackson
eolored, and others equally as active
whose names were not furnished us,
were letting down persons from the
uper stories by sheets-and their
GOODNESS and bravery saved lives
which must have been otherwise
lost.
