ENCHANTED.

She sat In piteous hut,
In a wood where poisons grew;
Withered was every leaf,
Ana her lace was withered too;
Like sword the fierce wind cut
Her worn heart through and through.
Gray as the frost was her hair,
Dim as the dusk were her eyes,
As still rs stone was her mouth;
Yet she knew that she was fair,
And she knew that she was wise,
Therefore she waited there.
Away, and 30 far away,
She looked for light and sign:
"Oh, he has not forgotten me!
What should I care for to-day,
When all tomorrow is mine?
am content TO stay"
On the heights the hail would beat,
In the thorns would sink the snow,
And the chasms were weird with sound;
Yet the years would come and 60:
Somewhere there is something sweet,
And some time / shall know.
"There is land close by,
A land In reach of my arm;
II Is mine from shore to sea
There the nightingales do fly,
There the flush OF the rose Is warm:
shall take II by and by.
But the shape that guards the gate,
Where my mirror waits to show
How beautiful am,
Oh, he makes me 10th to 20.
/ wait, and wait, and wait.
Through fear Of him, know.
But who breaks this charm of breath
Enchantment himself must wear.
Two from each other shrink
In the freezing dark and stare.
Your kiss for my kiss, o Death!
Each makes the other fair"

About Mr.. Beecher.

All of Mr.. Beecher's intimate friends
apparently have full confidence in
what is coming. "Just wait till our
side comes to the 'front.'" said deacon
last night, "and we will give new
meaning 10 the word thunderbolt. The
other day, when Jackson S. Schultz was
sitting beside our pastor, and when Mr..
Fullerton read what is called the ragged
edge letter, Mr.. Beecher said to Mr..
Schultz, don't take back one word that
wrote in that letter, but won't give it
the Interpretation that Moulton does
Mr.. Beecher is satisfied at the way every
thing is going. When Moulton was tell
ing one of his big things the other day.
Mr.. Bcecher turned to Mrs. Beecher and
said, The liar, and he knows it, Then,
too Mr.. Beecher says that he is satisfied,
and we believe him." Mr.. TiltOn's in
Inmates are jubilant over the success of
his case so far, and say that Moulton can
not be broken down.

NUMBER 43.
The "Tramp."


Every night the lock-ups are full Of
tramps, sometimes more, sometimes less.
Their universal complaint is that they
can not get any work TO do. Usually
they have just come from some other
city and are ON their way to another.
where they hope to "get a job" but if
there was a job to be had how glad they
would be to get it, Captain Wilson, in
charge of the Allegheny lookup, felt
happy the other night when gentleman
came in and inquired if he could tell
him where he could get lot of able
bodied laborers.
"Just come this way" said the captain,
as he opened the door leading to the
tramp department.
81 want to get lot Of men to cut ice
for me, and / will pay good wages. If 1
can get some of these poor fellows who
have no place to go would sooner take
them. 1t will be benefit to them, and
l know they would like to have job"
"We have about fifty of them in here
tonight, all complaining that they could
get no work, and apparently greatly
Inundated because they had to beg
lodgings from us. Here they are"
Sure enough here were fifty stout,
hearty fellows, any of whom were able to
do good days work. Captain Wilson
announced to them that there was a
chance for all of them to 60 to work at
good wages the next day.
"Now, boys" said the ice man, 81
heard there were so many fellows out of
work and starving that / thought the
best thing could do would be to give
my work to such fellows as are really
needy. Now, how many will be on hand
tomorrow? Just step here and give me
your names. Good wages cash down
every night"
Imagine his surprise when not man
stirred.
"If you fellows don't take this job you
needn't come back here any MORE" said
the captain in his usually impressive way.
Chow much will yes givew lazily in
quired big, hearty Irishman.
"a dollar and half a day, cash every
night if you need it,"
"Och, what sort O wages is that fur
man till freeze hisself to death fur" re-
marked another fellow, tugging vehc-
mently at short stemmed clay pipe.
Another one never did work for less
than two dollars day, and he didn't
propose to allow any man to take advan-
tage of him. Another gave the ice men
a regular setting down for grinding the
poor. Thus it went, and after deal of
talking eight out of the fifty promised to
60 to work, the remaining forfy-two posi-
lively refusing to be ground down by the
heartless capitalists. Some of them
acted as though they were insultcd, while
others had bad colds, pains in the back,
subject to rheumatism, threatened with |
typhoid fever, or just getting over a
severe attack of neuralgia. Thus it
appears that the tramp won't work, but
prefers to take his chances at picking up
a precarious living and other little things
he may be fortunate enough to find lying
about loose. He is the coyote of civili-
zation, kind of jackal prowling around
in search of something that costs neither
money nor labor. What is to be done
with him 1t is a nice thing to know
how far the sun is from the earth, but
an answer to this conundrum would be
of infinitely more benefit to society.

Gin the Spiritual Line.o

Rev. DIR. Hayman, formerly Head
Master of Rugby School, England, is a
grave, dignified and somewhat pompous
gentleman, with exalted notions Of his
own Importance. A laughable story is
told concerning him:
While returning, recently, from the
Brighton congress, fellow passenger un-
dertook to draw him into conversation,
and so far succeeded that the reverend
gentleman asked him to what profession
he happened to belong.

with the nearest approach to joke he
was ever Known to perpetrate, II am in

"Well, well, if didn't think so," ex.
claimed his companion knowingly; and
putting one hand on the doctors knee,
he leaned forward eagerly and added,
with an indescribable wink, "but say,

Signal Service PeriIs.

The signal service station on Pixies
Peak is at an altitude of Il, 1856 feet, and,
except the one at Denver, is the only
station in the Territory of Colorado. Its
latitude is $50 50>; its longitude 1867 and
52> (west). Excepting dwarfsh, inse-
cure, rectangular house, there is no other
visible property on the Peak. We sub
NIT that the Government owes to itself to
provide, as we'll as it can, for the comfort
and safety of those who are assigned to
duty at this most desolate and forbidding
point, for both are in jeopardy all the
time. But for the house being insulated,
the lightning would have long ago
shivered it into atoms, or consumed it by
its own fire. Thunder storms are frequent
in the summer, when the electricity gets
on the rampage and threateningly pur-
sues animate as we'll as inanimate objects,
striking terror in all who behold it. Some
times its display is so vivid that no arti-
fetal light is needed in the darkest hour
of the night. Sometimes it runs down
the stove-pipe like moulten iron, or es-
capes from bedposts, cracking like dis
charged pistol. Then it will leap with
fiery fury on the operators head, and

some one was pulling at it with tremen-
dous force.
Now it is part of the duties of the
officers to take seven daily observations
of the condition of the weather, and to
transmit reports three times every day
to Washington. Considering that the
weather is often inclement, and that the
observer must 60 upon the roof of the
house to take some of the observations,
he has before him every day an unpleas-

hours for reporting are the following :

servers had to plant his feet against the
parapet of the house to prevent himself
from being blown away while in the dis
charge of his perfunctory duties. In the
intervals they amuse themselves by talk

Dean Swift's LilIlput in Tennessee.

The original country of the Lillipu-
tians which Dean Swift so graphically
describes in his version of Gulliver's
travels, and which has mystified the
geographers as much as the source of
the Nile, seems TO have been in Ten
nessee. In the neighhorhood of Sparta
in that state there are cemeteries in
which the bodies of the pigmy race
have been found in considerable num-
bers encased in sandstone coffins. Prof.
Henry, of the Smithsonian Institute.
has recently visited the place, exhumed
one of the skeletons, and brought it to
Washington. It it evidently that of
full grown adult, twenty-six inches
high, and the thigh bones are little
larger than mans fc:efnger. In prox-
unity to the skeletons we're found pieces
of pottery which show signs of having
been once filled with charcoal, and the
discovery opens up new. field of scien-
tifc investigation like that which was

A !" Spiritualistic }, Feat.

:. Mr.. Maskelyne claims to perform the
following remarkable feat at the Egypt
ian hall, London: The spirit form OF
John King commands the letters to
drop from the hands and feet of the
performer. The spirit, without touch
ing Mr.. Maskelyne, brings him from
the cabinet to the committee, who ex-
anime and testify that there are no
ropes attached. Mr.. Maskelyne there
upon gradually ascends the stage, and
following the pointed direction OF the
spirit, floats in the air over the audience
and within a few inches of the lofty
dome in the centre of the hall. The
body them changes position, and re-
turns to the stage in horizontal posi-
ton. During the whole time brilliant
light is thrown upon the body, clearly

What a Dead Chinaman Is Worth.

Am ng the cargo of the ship Criter-
ion, which cleared from San Francisco,
CAL, for China, on the Ali inst, were
365 boxes billed as preserved meats and
valued at 81, $40. The high price of
this class of goods indicated by these
figures caused some curiosity among
the Custom House officials, who, being
anxious to know wherein the extra val
ne of the commodity lay, instituted in
vestigation. The result was that
the box was found to contain
the bones of dead Cinnamon
whom one Fook Hing Tong de-
sired to transplant to the Flowery
Kingdom. Out of the discovery grew
conundrum. eff 365 boxes are worth
81, $40, what is one dead Chinaman
worth 20 No answer could be obtained,
because it was impossible to find out
just how many were in each box. An
enterprising individual, however, in
terviewed. the Superintendent of the
Morgue, and learned that the value of a
Chinaman's bones is just about 81. Oh.
This information obtained, calculation
was next resorted to, in order to find
the number Of defunct Celestials con-
tanned in that very queer consignment,
the result being the figures 1,46O.

Oeail Not on Toast.

From the Virginia New Enterprise.
After the Consolidated Virginia and
Ophir works were in full blaze, gem
tleman, whose re sidence is east of the
Ophir shaft-and which residence has
been on fire several times-had finally
given up that the house must be lost,
and had ceased further exertions. Sud
denly he was surprised to see 6. noun
tain quail light at his feet. In mo
ment the bird flew up to his breast and
lit on his vest. The man unbuttoned
two buttons of his vest, when the bird
ran beneath it and nestled close over
his heart. He buttoned his coat over
the tird and then said to himself,
'sThat means that my house can be
saved, and went to work again. Just
then the uncertain wind changed, the
volume of smoke was turned another
way. The house was saved, and now.
next to the children, the bird is the
highest priced treasure in that house.

A Novel Wager.

Just previous to the Pennsylvania
election two young men, w, and NJ,
both employed by large lumber firm
here, had quite a discussion in regard
to the result. W. was firm in his belief
that Hartranft would be defeated. M.
was equally positive that he would be
elected. The discussion waxed warm,
and they finally settled it by agreeing
that if Hartranft was elected, W. would
stand on the corner of Summit and
Madison streets and play hand organ
from seven till eight in the evening. IF
H. was not elected then nj. would take
his post at the corner and grind. AS
W. lost, and Hartranft was elected, he
has announced that upon Saturday
evening next, between the hours of
seven and eight, he will stand on Prices
corner, and torture the passers by with
some of the oldest tunes ever found in
hand organ. A box will be placed
upon the organ and those charitably
inclined persons who feel any sympathy
for the youth, can drop in nickel, and
it will undoubtedly be thankfully re-
ceived. Toledo Blade.
