Poetry.
FARMER JOHN.

Home from his journey Farmer John
Arrived from his journey safe and sound,
His black coat off, and his old clothes OH,
sNow I'm myself!' says Farmer John;
And he thinks, "I'l look around
Up leaps the dog: sect down. you pup!
Are YOU so glad you would eat me up?''
The old cow lows to greet him.
The horses prick up their ears to meet him;
'Well, well, old Bay!
Ha, he, old Gray!
Do YOU get good feed when I'm away?"
"You have not rib!'' says Farmer John;
The cattle are looking round and sleek;
The colt is going to be roam, =
And beauty too: how he has grown!
Well wean the calf next week.
Says Farmer John, when I've been off,
To call you again about the trough,
And watch you, and pet you while you drink,
Is greater comfort than you can Think"
And he pats old Bay.
And he slaps old Gray;
"And this is the comfort of going awayn'
"For af ter ALL, says Farmer John,
1.-THE best of a journey is getting home,
I've seen great sights; but would give
This spot, and the peaceful life live,
For their Paris and Rome
These hills for the city's stihed air.
And big hotels all hustle and glare,
Land and houses, and roads all stones,
That deafen your ears aud batter your bones?
Would you old Bay?
Would you old Gray?
That's what one gets by going away!"
There money is king says Farmer John;
Eoc
To see how sometimes while the man,
Raking and scraping all he can,
The wife spends every year
Enough you would think for score of wives.
To keep them in luxury all their lives;
The town is perfect Babylon
To quiet chap says Farmer John,
You see, old Bay.
You see, old Gray,
Pm wiser than when went away
"PVe found out this, says Farmer John,
''That happiness is not bought and sold,
And clutched in a life of waste and hurry,
In nights OF pleasure and days of worry;
And wealth isn't all gold;
Mortgage and stocks and ten per cent
But in simple ways, and sweet content,
Few wants, pure hopes, and noble ends
Some land to till, and few good friends
Like you, old Bay,
Andyou, old Gray,
That's what I've learned by going away"
And happy man is Farmer John,
o, rich and happy man is he;
Hese the peas and PUMPKINS growing,
The corn in tassel, the buckwheat blowing,
And fruit On vine and tree:
The large, kind oxen look their thanks.
AS he rubs their foreheads and strokes their flank,
The doves light round him, and strut and COO,
Says Farmer John, "Ill take you too,
And you, old Bay,
And you; old Gray,
Next time travel so far away"

barked his fortunes in the Northern
Pacific Railway project, and if ever a
financial enterprise promised success it
was this, If the strength of the pro-
jectors was a sufficient warrant. With
Jay Cooke & Co. were also interested
capitalists, who, with that firm repre-
sented capital, to the amount of 2OO.-
100000. Again, by liberal and judic-
ious advertising, joined to the WELL
earned reputation of the house, jaw
Cooke L Co. succeeded in selling the
bonds to an amount sufficient, not
only to complete 500 miles of the road
to the Pacific, but equip it, as it is to-
day, with rolling stock sufficient for
It's uses, had it reached the far-off
waters Of Puget Sound. But then
came the Chicago fire, a catastrophe
that if any man had prophesied he
would have been consigned to lunatic
asylum, and when the house of Jay
Cooke & Go. went down great was the
fall thereof. They who had embarked
with the row bankrupt firm in the
North Pacific were able TO disentangle
themselves without loss other than the
the money invested, but so inextriea-
bly, were the fortunes of the fallen
house and the railroad that was to
girdle continent involved, that both
suffered like calamity without hope
OF recovery. And the members of the
firm of Jay Cooke & Co., lost their all,
even to their very hearthstones and
therefore it is to-day, at noon. Ogontz,
the stately, the beautiful mansion, with
its pleasure grounds charming as Eden,
and its broad lands fast fattening with
the springing grain, is to be sold at
public outcry to the highest bidder.

Desperate Struggle With a Blood
Hound.

A night or two ago Patrick Eustace,
trusty and faithful guard at the East
ern Penitentiary, was going his rounds
in the yard of the institution with the
two Siberian blood-hounds kept there,
when a fight was commenced between
the latter. Fearing that one of the
hounds was killing the other, which
was down and the teeth of the upper
most dog in his throat, Guard Eustace
took his hickory club and tried to pry
the maddened animals jaws open,
Whereupon the ferocious beast made a
leap at the guards throat. Eustace
quickly presented his right arm, upon
which the hound closed. biting through
an oVercoat, undercoat, shirt and fam
mel undershirt into the flesh of his arm,
a very painful wound being produced
A struggle then commenced between
the guard and the attacking dog, the
former using his club freely; but had
it not been for the other hound, which
came to the rescue of the guard, the
latter would have surely been torn to
pieces, for no other help was nigh. AS
it was, the victory was one hardly
bought. Having secured the enraged
animal, and, as the guard believed,
subjected him sufficiently, Eustace
went into the warden's office, where
his wounds were dressed. About two
hours later Guard Lehman was making
a tour of the yard with the HOUNDS,
when Guard Eastace happened to cross
sor.e distance off. The moment the
hound heard his footsteps he uttered
low cry and bounded swiftly off in the
direction Of Eustace, who was apprised
of his danger by shout from Guard
Lehman. Elstace turned, drawing his
revolver at the same time, and pulled
the trigger as he saw the hound APP
preaching him. The first shot took
effect, and the animal staggered and
fell, shot through the heart. A few
seconds later and he would probably
have had his fangs in the throat Of the
guard.
The Siberian bloodhound is the
most powerful and ferocious, and per.
haps the most treacherous, of the Ca
nine family. He never forgets an
abuse, and months or even years after
receiving an injury will fly at the ag-
gressor- The convicts at the Peniten-
tiary are more afraid of these animals
than of the guards reyolvers, and this
accounts for the keeping Of such beasts
at the institution Philadelphia En-

A Sterling Old Poem.

Who shall Judge man from his mannersl
Who shall know him by his dress
Paupers may be 1T for princes,
Princess fit for something less.
Crump!ed shirt and dirty jacket
May be cl0the the golden ore
vi the deepest thought and feelings
Satin vests can do no more.
There are streams of crystal nectar
Ever flowing out of stone
There are purple beds and golden,
Hidden, crushed and overthrown.
God, who counts by souls, not dresses,
-, Love and prospers you and me,
Nhlie he values thrones the highest
But as pebbles in the sea.
Man appraised above his fellows,
Oft forgetS his fellows then;
Masters-rulers-lord remember
That your meanest kinds are men;
Men Of labor, men of feeling
Men of thoughts and men of fame,
Claiming equal rights to sunshine
In mans enobling name.
There are foam embroidered oceans,
There are little WOod-clad rils;
There are feeble inch-high sapIings,
There are cedars on the hill
God, who counts by souls, not stations,
Loves and prospers you and me;
For to him all vain distinctions
Are as pebbles in the sea.
Toiling hands alone are builders
Of 4 nations wealth and fame;
Titled laziness is pensioned,
Fed and tattened on the same;
BY the sweat of other foreheads,
Living only to rejoice,
While the poor mans outraged freedom,
painly lifts its feeble voice.
Truth and J ustice are eternal
Born with loyeliness and light;
Secret wrongs shall never prosper
W lille there is a sunny right .
cod, whose worldwide voice is singing
Boundless love to you and me
Links oppression with its titles
But as pebbles liz the sea-

THE BEST PIANOS MADE.
A Musical Supreme Court, Which
Having Considered the Matter
Carefully has Decided that Hal
let, Davis & Co.'s Pianos are
the Best Instruments made.

Carefully has Decided that Hal
let, Davis Il Co.'s Pianos are
the Best instruments made.
The discussion of the relative supe-
riority of the various manufactures of
pianos which has been agitating the
musical world for some time past, may
now be considered as fairly settled by
the universal concession of the superb
ority Of the instrument manufactured
by Messrs. Hallet. Davis & Co. And
this popular decision is affirmed bv the
appeal to the German community of
artists and composers, who sit as q
kind of supreme court having appel
late jurisdiction in musical matters.
Readers Of the Chicago daily papers
will remember an advertisement pub
lished by W. W. Kimball, of the great
piano and organ ware-rooms, corner
State and Adams, and known as the
sole northwestern agent Of this famous
instrument, in which the great German
masters, the pianists, composers, au-
thGrs, editors, and musical directors of
that old and classic countrv-men of
iliustrious genious and wide renown.
whose names are written as high as
fame and authority can write authority
can write them, whose words have the
force OF law in the department of mu-
sic, and whose works are the inspira-
tIon OF modern times, are committed,
individually and collectively, to very
clear expression of in favor of that
piano, as intrinsically and materially
superior to all European and American
instruments, and as marking a clear
and important date in the history Of
musical mechanism, both in mechani-
cal form and in the larger matter Of
tone the compass, range, and power
Of expression. The statement referred
to was rendered terribly potent in the
literal quotation Of authorities equiva-
lent to full congress of the great
masters Of the century, constituting an
array of names gathered from the
clear skies Of fame, sufficiently formid-
able to intimidate opposition. It seems
that the gist and substance of these
several hundred manuscript letters,
coming from this universal congress of
musicians, upon the introduction of the
Hallet, Davis and Co piano into
Germany, is resolved upon a collective
analysis into something like the follow
ing formula:
s'We have made detailed and ex-
haustive examination of the Hallet,
Davis & Co.'S piano, and find that in
mechanical plan and construction, and
fullness, range. compass, and complete
ness Of tone, it is an addition to the
power of the modern piano, and an
improvement upon all instruments vet
invented for the articulation Of the
glorious harmonies of sound" bearing

Many persons succeed admirably in
their management of house plants during
the growing season SO long as the
weather is warm, but as soon as the
growing season is over and potted plants
REQUIRE protection within doors they put

the year always appear as sickly, forlorn
and withered as the solitary maid Of two

Where spinsters die Of the whooping cough.
During the warm weather her plants

weather comes on the plants are lett on
