WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
BY GEO. W. BUNGAY

BY GEO. W. BUNGAY.
The query new IS not
What values have you got
IN banks. or stocks, or in estate.
But what deeds have you done,
In shadow or il sun,
To make the people good or great
You have reason why
You hold your head so high.
And stride in pOn1p along the street
Can YOU show any one
The good that YOU have done
To make life sunny, fair and sweet
Ship-loads of costly wares,
Bank stocks and railroad shares,
Are popular things to have and hold;
But he has little won
Who little else has done
But gather greenbacks, stocks and gold.
You sit at ease and drink;
You sleep but do you think
OF any mortal save yourself?
Since life with you begun,
What have you ever done
TO make men better with your pef
Do you assist the poor,
Or drive them from Your door,
When panics pinch with want and cold
Can any mothers son
Thank you FOR what you We done
To aid him with advice and golG
You cannot always live;
NOW l. the time TO give.
And let your heart pulse IN your palms;
Heayan smiles on every one
Whose deeds discretely done
Give added blessings TO their aims.
Rags in the wind that flies,
Pale faces, hollow eyes,
And the unwOrking multitude
Appeal to everyone,
And ask what have You done
TO feed the hungry, clOthe the nude ?
Streets filled with the untaught,
FOreheads u1lit with thought,
Mouths full of speech. base and prOfane,
Might shame at noon the sun.
Alas what have we done
To wash away the scathing stain ?
May benedictiOnS fall
From Heavens starry wall
On those who lift the "trOdden down.;
And when life'S race is run,
May they all hear, We'll done,
Thou good and faithful take the crown"

of the United States Navy, has presented
to the national Medical College of Wash

tenn of Weights and Measures. Through
out the civilized world there is an
almost entire use of uniform weights and

Spain, Portugal, Italy, Switzerland, the
whole German empire and Austria, use
the metric system. England and the
United States are the only two great
countries that stand in the way of its
universal adoption.

THE MYRTLEVILLE SCANDAL.

Ii commenced by MIS-. SaWNefS ar
rival at Mrs. Muf1it's early in the after
noon, evidently in a state of great ex-
citem ent, and full of news. With an air
of profound mystery she drew Mrs.
Muffit from the wash-tub to the sitting
room, and said to her: ''What do you
think has happened %
Now Mrs. Sawyer was well known in
Myrtleville as ''newsy," as one who lost
no opportunity of collecting the most
reliable and startling the sayings and do
ings Of the Myrtlevillians. Accordingly
Mrs. Muffit prepared her mind for It'd
ings of great moment.
That is it p she asked, drying her
hands on her apron and settling down in
her chair for a s'good talk

the widow.

There! I'll go right over to Bel

Poor girl. No wonder they went of
slyly."
And away hustled Mrs. Sawyer to find
Mrs. Belknap and STsy in the sitting
room sewing. 1t was keen satisfac-
ton to tell the news there, for Mrs.
Belknap being in delicate health, and
possessing ample means, kept a servant
and lived in a style of refinement that
Myrtleville condemned as putting on
airs. To ''take her down peg" as
Mrs. Sawyer mentally resolved to do,
was vulgar triumph she enjoyed great
~ in anticipation. Mrs. Belknap and
her daughter received the news in a
quiet way, as if the gossip possessed no
special interest for them, asking no
questions and manifesting no chagrin.
The story had grown little bit on the
way, though; Mrs. Sawyer had now a
full description of the runaway brides
costume, and the train was specified up
on which the young couple travelled.
But after Mrs. Sawyer had gone to
take her news elsewhere, Susy turned a
