WHAT Is HIS CREED.

He left load of anthracite
In front of poor woman door,
When the deep snow. frozen and white,
Wrapped street and square, mountain

In sitting down and rising up;
When more he got he gave the more,
Withholding not the crust and cup.
He took the lead
In each good task.

His charity was like the snow,
Soft. white, and silent in its fall
Not like the noisy winds that blow
From shivering trees the leaves: pail
For flowers and weed,
Dropping below
s'What was his creed 20 -
The poor may know.
He had great faith in lOaves of bread,
For hungry people, young anu OH,
And hope inspired. kind WORDS be said
To those he sheltered from the cold.
For we must feed
As well as pray.

His faith in words he never writ;
He loved to share his cup and crust
With all mankind who needed it.
In time of need

Worked well with hand and head;
And what he gave in charity
Sweetened his sleep and daily bread.

A CoLUMBUs correspondent of the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, speaking of
the Michigan IL Ohio Railroad says:
at will be of interest to railroad
men to know that the building of the
Michigan & Ohio railroad, from
Grand Haven, Michigan, to Ports
mouth, Ohio, is progressing rapidly,
and is said to- he in good healthy
condition. The road will strike Ohio
at Defiance, pass from thence i'll IN
air line to Columbus and thence
down the Scioto Valley TO the Ohio
river. G.. Ii. White & Brother are
the contractors. Thirty miles are
graded and tied, fifty ready for ties
and twenty more nearly ready. The
contractors will commence operations
in this vicinity next Spring. Seven
teen hundred men are at work now on
the road. 1t is the intention of the
contractors to build at the rate Of one
mile a day when the winter is over.
Thirty miles of steel rails are on the
ocean now en- route to the north end
of the road. The length of this road
will be four hundred and twenty-five
miles. This project originated and
is being conducted in a remarkably
quiet way, considering the prevailing
fashion of loud talk about subsidies,
right of way, and that sort of thing.

THE royal cabinet maker made
Victor Emanuel present Of a finely
worked box on the twenty-fifth ami
versary of his reign, and the King
returned the compliment by sending
a watch without chain. The cabi-
net man got mad, asked for the
chain, and in defanlt of which he
claimed back his pretty box. The
chain was not forthcoming from the
Quirinal, but the box was. Then the
''artist" grew furious, and wrote over
fifty insulting notes to the royal
household manager, when the latter,
too, became mad in earnest, and sue
cessfully sued the importune solici-
tor for calumny.

himself with a razor which was the
only one used by his father, who got
it of an old man eighty years of age,
who in turn bought it when he was
young for sixpence at pawnbroHer s
shop in the city of Glasgow. 1t was
an old razor then. Mrs. Paget has 4
looking glass which was brought into
Cornish about lib years ago, and has
been in use ever since. 1t is seven

She rugged ship, made it flaming
With gold, brilliant sails and silver
oars. On board were the fairest vir-
gins of her court. Perfume smoked
on the deck, and amidst the music
of slnumerable harps and countless
masses on the banks, she sailed
down the river, robed in her pavil-
ion of golden cloth. The end ofthis
voyage was to captivate the heart of
Anthony, which, for him, was but too
successful. Rome was always ready
