Wasted Tears.

We paused this morning, says the
Peoria Review, to watch a lonely hearse
pass along the streets. Over it nodded
the sable pIumes, and siIken curtains
hid from curious eyes the casket of the
friendIess dead, and bullion fringe and
silver lace work could not detract from
the solemnity of death. No carriages
followed the hearseto mans last resting
place no stifed sObs burst from the
lips of stricken mOurners; no eyes
turned pityingIy upon the scanty fune-
raj the great heart of the city thrObbed
increasingly on, and the roar and clam
or of traffic hushed the hollow rumble
of the catafaIque. Buried alone, all,
when might it come upon us, thus to
pass from the present to the eternal fu-
ture, to commit ourselves alone. to the
bosom of the river whose waters lave
the hither shore in the dark, chill bit
terness of death, and thitherward are
forever yelled in clouds of the mystic
which human eye hath never pierced.
'Tis a dreary fate to ponder O'er, and
this friendless man should have at least
one mOurner, so with bated breath and
uncovered head whispered the driver,
''who is, or was the lonely dead ?" and
the driver said, g dead notAin' I'm
just talzin' the old bone trap over to the
shop to get her springs fixed. She
bounced the last stiff we took out In her
clean out O. the coffin. Whoa, Bill
blast ye, or I'll cut yer hair with a
bIack-snaker We ceased weeping.

MORE TROUBLE ANTICIPATED FROM

rior department has instructed the agent
IN charge of that agency to keep a viei-
liant watch on any suspicious character
and have arrested and held in custody
any person upon whom in his judgment
a reasonable suspicion in this regard
may fall. Additional trouble is antici-
pated with this tribe, as having broken
the treaty of 1868, in which it was sti-
pulated that they should not make war
either on the whites or any neighboriuB

Chineee Philosophy.

In ancient times there lived man,
Shien. During travelling tour he had
occasion to rest the night at a road
house. The weather was insufferably
hot. and within the room musketoes
swarmed by thousands. Shien fortu-
nately had provided himself with cur
tains, but unfortunately the curtains
we're insufficient to resist the enemy.
His efforts to keep them out were in
vain, sounds of buzzing in unpleasant
poximity still continued, and writhing
under the intOlerable torment of their
stings, his thoughts transpIanted them
selves to his own peaceful home. He
reflected on the spacious halls, cool
couches, and the crowd of handmaids
to fan and wait on their lord and, con-
tinued he to himself, " "hOw is it that I
should have suffered one moment of
ennui In such paradise Why leave
to seek pleasures and find misery
abroad ?" During these meditatiOns ne
observed the keeper of the post, who
had no curtains, pacing the room with
the musketoes swarming around him.
But what seemed to him inexplicable
was that the man still appeared to be
in perfect good humOr. Shien, still
writhing in misery, exclaimed "My
good fellow, you are one hundred times
worse off than myself, but how is it
that, while am in torment of mind,
you on the contrary seem happy" The
keeper replied "Sir, I have just been
recalling to mind the position I was
once placed in; when a prisoner, bound
hand and foot, I was helpless prey to
these emurderous insects unable to move
a muscle, they Preyed on me with i'm
punity, and the agony was unbearable.
It was the contrast of that horrible pc
riOd with nv present condition that
produced that feeling of cOntentedness
with me-" Shien was startled by the
mine of philosophy herein unfolded.
Would, he thought, that the world In
ordinary life would but daily keep in
mind, and carry out, such a spirit analo-
opv. How vast then would be the re-
suit to man NORTH China Herald.
An undertaken recently meeting in
newspaper Office a doctor, a preacher
and a mutual friend, remarked TO the
latter. "Now I have been waiting a
good while for you to hand in your
chips. Better do it now. Here are tho
doctor to kill you, the minister to
preach your sermon, the reporter TO
write your obituary, myself to bury
you, the devil to take you. Bette
