LINES
Composed on the death Of q dear nepheaO,
little Waiter Honea, sec gears old.
BY JESSIE FERGUSON BROWNE.

And thou art gone 1t makes my spirit
faltcr-
Against the ways of Heaven to half rebel
Sweet, gentle child, ah! pure unselish
Waller,
Thy winning ways, the angels loved
them well
AS who might not "tO know thee was to
love thee"
So uncomplaining, amiable and mild,
Unlike all others, surely ne'er above thee
Existed one who bore the name of child.
So far beyond one of thy years or stature,
The germs OF thought in that fair soul
enshrined,
Unfolding views of an exalted na ure,
Stored with the higher attributes of
mind;
Thoughtful and serious, giving promise
early,
Gravely attentive, patient in thy ways !;
All! was it strauge that we should thee prize
dearly,
Or Heaven implore to grant thee length
Of days ?
They whom the gods DO love die young,
It's said
Full soon are called to share Saviour's
love,
And so it seems, our darling one is dead,
a lamb the more lor that bright told a.
boye;
Gone from Us now, dear child, so lately given.
Thy dove-like spirit sought an happier
sphere,
One mole congenial--aye its native heaven
And Heaven be praised iOr what is spared
thee here.
Too gentle far, too mildly formed vert thou
To bear the stern realities Of life;
Far better Tar, that it should be as now,
Early removed from suffering, care and
strife,
The dove we priced. This world at best
were dark
And stern, and cold its hearts of granite
stone
But thou art safe within an heavenly ark,
Cnciing with angels round the great
white throne.

Litigation Extraordinary.

Major Burrill, the superinten-
dent of the Hoboken ferry, is
known by everybody. His
character is spotless, and his
popularity sufficient to elude
black balls from the box when
he was proposed about twoyears
ago for initiation into Hoboken
Lodge No. 80, of the order Of
Free and Accepted Masons.
Raymond Cook, Peter Palmer,
j. Harry Lyons, and some 9TH
er Hobokeners were the leaders
in the lodge, and their repre-
sentations of the beautiful mys-
teries Of Free Masonry wrought
the Major to high pitch of en-
thusiasm. He intended to take
the first three degrees without
delay, and he paid the fifty dol
lars, the aggregate fee fixed by
Hoboken Lodge for these steps.
On the appointed night the first
degree was worked, and the Ma
ior was. made an apprentice
Then followed the ordeal Of the
second degree, and at that point
it was ascertained that the Ma
jor had Il sore on his knee
which, in the opinion of the Off
GERS, was so far disabling as to
debar him from further advance
ment in the order.
Good physique is Il require
ment in candidates for initiation
into Masonry, and, as lacking in
that essential, he was denied
further progress. The Major
claimed, however, that his re-
buff was chargable to spite,
and that the sore knee was only |
an excuse. He was indignant
ard demanded a return OF the !
500 or elevation to the two high
er degrees. The lodge kept the ,
on the plea that it was
paid, as in all cases, subject to
contingencies like the one in
point, and was not returnable. !
The dispute was referred to the !
Grand Lodge in Trenton, and
after some delay the advice was
that two-thirds of the
$50 should be repaid.
Hoboken Lodge, however, re-
fused TO return any Of the mon
ey, and the Major sued for it
He was non-srited on the
that the lodge was not
chartered, and therefore not liza
BILE to be sued. Under a general
law Of New Jersey, Masonic So
cieties may be incorporated, but,
disliking to have their affairs
made public in the courts, Ihey /
seldom take advantage Of its
provisions.
Major BurriIl has lost none
of his spunk, and the lodge is
as stubborn as at first. Either
is willing to spend a thousand
dollars in contesting the pos
session Of the fifty dollars
Three weeks ago the Major be-
gan a new suit in Justice
Whites court tagainstthe Treas
urer Of the lodge, and all Ho-
boken is talking about it.-Neac

Why Barney was Re-

A firm dealing largely in coal
in one Of our Western cities had
in their service an Irishman nam
ed Barney. One day the head of
the firm, irritated beyond endur-
ance at one of Barneys blunders,
told him to 60 to the Office and get
his pay, and added, "You are so
thick headed | can't teach you
any thing"
"Begorra," says Barney, 81

most opuIent widows, she resumed
the primeval of his former recti
tude."

How Gerrit Smith Ruined
a Man.

A large proportion OF men ncv,
er Can or vii. accumulate Ur keep
capital. The best illustration of
this fact that | have ever uet is
that of Gerril Smith and school
mate. The latter, Oh the death
Of his father, came into possession
vi Il farm, with house, furniture,
stock, implements and ali things
necessary to a comfortable home
and paying business bat he sold,
lost by tue sale, sold his neHt
home, and his next, always losing,
until be was laDdless and very
poor. His old schUolmate, who
was giving away his large palri-
mony i'll small parcels To landless
men, gave him a house and lot,
but took the precaution to deed it
TO his children. For while the
restless Aan was very happy in
his new home, but soon grew tired
of it and wanted to sell out
When he found that it was not in
his power to render himself and
his family homeless once more, he
exclaimed, III great bitterness {:
There, Gerrit Smith has ruined
me" He believed this and never
iorgave the man who bad preyen-
ted that trade which would have
surely made his fortune

The largest case which has yet
been tried under the "Ohio liquor
law" has just concluded. The
plaintiff sues for 5000 damages
sustained by the drunkenness of
her husband, ,occasioned in whole or
in part by Intoxicating liquors, 9th
er than beer, wine or CIDER, sold
and furnished him at the saloon
of one Drew, in 1871 and 1872
Drew rented his premises of one
White. Suit was commenced in
1873. Drew did not defend, and
White filed answer alleging that
be was not owner or lessor Of the
premises at the time the suit was
commenced, and that he forbid
him selling Intoxicating liquors.
Verdict against both defendants
fer Sl.5OO-the largest sum yet
returned in suits under the Adair
law. White filed his motion ask
ing that Judgment be entered in
hi- favoragains plaintiff. Plintiff
filed motion to be permit ed TO "a
mend her petition before judgment
In certain particulars, to make it
conform to the evidence in the
trial.
The women's crusade has great
ly strengthened the hold of this
law upon the people of Ohio and
the other States which have cop.
led it.

Bankrupts' Wives and
Daughters.

Judge Blodglt, of Chicago,
has Just rendered decision in
the United States District Court
that is Of interest to Il great
many deserving people. The
case involved the right Of a
vile and daughter Of 4 bank
rupt to hold, against his as
signee, personal property given
them in payment Of services
rendered to the bankrupt. The
facts Of the case were these:
Jonathan Hay, a dealer in mu-
sical instruments and sewing
machines, ahsconded, and was
thrown into bankruptcy. His
assignee seized on Il piano be-
longing to Hays daughter, and
also on several sewing machines
in the possession Of Mrs. Hay
all Of which the wife and
daughter claimed were turned
over to them by the husband
and father in payment of their
services in his store. Judge
Blodgett decided that they were
legally entitled to the goods,
and ordered the assignee to re-
eurn them to their possession.
The case possessed additional
interest from the fact that the
winning side was conducted
from beginning to end by Miss
Alta N. Hulett, the welI-known
lady LAWYER. of ChicaoO.

The Inventor Of the Cir
cular Saw.

The Inventor of the Cir
cular Saw.
A correspondent Of the Chi
cago Post and Mail furnishes
that journal with the follow
ing remarkable biographical
sketch:
Not long since an article ap-
peared in your paper, giving the
credit for the invention OF the
circular saw to some man in
Vermont, and the writer sug-
gested the idea of having a
monument erected to his memo
ry, and in response to the same
| have taken the liberty to send
you the following:
In a lonely, secluded position
in the northwest corner Of the
cemetery near the ever beau
tiful little village OF Richmond,
kalamazoo comfy, Michigan,
the historian can find ION a pure
white marble slab, nearly con-
ceaIed from view by a large
cluster of lilac bushes) engrav-
ed the simple name Of "Benja-
min Cummings, born A. D.l772,
died A. D. 1848." And who
was benjamin Cummings? He
was the inventor Of the circular
saw now in use in this country
and Europe. Nearly sixty years
ago, at Burtonsville, n. Y,
near Amsterdam, this man ham
mered out at his own LACK
smiths anvil the first circular
saw known to mankind. He
was a noted pioneer in Michi-
gan, a first co"sin to one Of the
Presidents Of the United States,
a sIaye-owner in New York
State, leading Mason in the
days Of Morgan, and at whose
table the very elite of then great
State Of New York feasted and
drank freely Of his choice liq-
uors and wines. A vessel OWn-
er on the North river before the
days Of steamboats,, 4 captain In
the war Of 1912, where, after hav-
ING three horses shot under him,
with one stroke OF his sword,
he brought his superior officer to
the ground for an insult and be-
cause he was a traitor and u cow
ard, and, after having been
court-martialed, instead Of hav-
ing been shot he was appointed
a Colonel in his place. And in
this lowly grave are the ashes
Of the man who, nearly seventy !
years ago. atAlbany, New York,
took up and moved bodily a |
large block Of brick buildings,
and to the then wonderland aston
ishment of the world, and who
also subsequently constructed
Il mile and a half of the Erie ca
nal through a bed of rock,
and who also built per contract
hose first low bridges over the
same. He also aided in the
construction of the first ten
miles Of railroad built in the
United States, and founded both |
-he villages Of Esperence and
Burtonsville, on the old Socho-
larie near Amsterdam. Now,
therefore, if any one should |
hereafter feel inclined to erect a |
to the memory of the |
inventor Of the circular saw
hey will know exactly where to
rect it, and it would not be in
Vermont either. The study |
md aim Of this mans life APP
Deared to be to accomplish that
which no other man could ac-
;ompIish-and when the object
sought was secured, or over
:ome, he passed it as quietly by |
rs we would the pebbles on the
sea shore. He was twice mar
led, and the father of twenty
wo children; the last wife Is still
