''The damps of death are coming fast,
Ny father, Der my brow,
The past, with all its scenes, has fled,
And must turn me now
To that dim future which in vain
Ny feeble eyes descry,
Tell me, my father, in this hour,
In whose stern faith to die.
''In thine? I've watched the scornful
smile,
And heard thy withering tone,
Wheneer the Christians humble hope
Was placed above thine own,
I've heard thee speak of coming death
Without a shade of gloom,
And laugh at al the childish fears
That cluster round the tomb.
"Or, is it in my mothers faith?
How kindly do | Grace,
Through many a weary year long past,
That calm and sanity face!
How often do call to mind,
Now she is meath the sod,
The place, the hour, in which she drew
My early thoughts to God!
"Twas then she took this sacred book,
And from its burning page,
Read how its truths support the soul,
In youth and failing age!
And bade me in its precepts live,
And BY its preceptS die,
That might share home of love,
In worlds beyond the sky.
''My father, shall look above,
Amid this gathering gloom,
To Him whose promises of love
Extend beyond the tomb?
Or curse the Being who hath blessed
This checkered path of mine,
And promises eternal rest.
Or die, my sire, in thine:"
The frown upon that warrior brow
Passed like Il cloud away,
And tears coursed down the rugged
cheek,
That flowed not till that day.
''Not-not in minc," with choking voice
The sllcptic made reply
"But in thy mothers holy faith,
Ny daughter, may'st thou die! "

CONTROL OF THE WEDDING RING.-A
curious question was involved in a trial
at the Springfield (N. W county court,
namely, the control of wife over her
wedding ring. The circumstances were
rs follows: The wife, shortly before
her death, gave the wedding ring to her
mother, at whose house she died. The
husband claimed the value OF it as n
set-Of' against claim brought against
him for his wifc's board and lodging.
The Judge decided that 4 wedding ring
comes under a class Of articles which
the wife has separately and independ-
emily of her husband, and which she
has power to keep, but not to give
away or leave from her husband.--On
the contrary, the husband has power TO
give them away even during her life.
In this case the vile had 10 power TO
give away her ring, and the Judgment
must be accordingly. This may be
law, but it seems hard that the wishes
of the deceased woman with regard TO
her ring should not be respected. Had
! the husband claimed the wedding ring
as a matter of sentiment, legal proceed
inos TO recover it would be Ineligible,
but to demand it as "set-otl' against
claim for board and lodging is a sad
desecratiOn of what was regarded IN
less pawnbroking ages as a symbol OF
confidence and eternity.

store beside Bonfanti's large establish
ment He always ascribed his success TO
this infexible honesty in trade. Yet
when asked if he believed in luck, it is
said that he always answered: Indeed
| do. There are persons who are un-
lucky | sometimes open case of goods
and sell the first piece from it TO some
person who is unlucky, and lose on it 10
the end. l frequently see persons TO
whom | would not sell if | could avoid
it." His mistake in lite, he thought, was
that he had not established his retail
store above Twenty third street He
thought that he should have had better
returns on his stock. He had constant
watchfulness over all the details OF his
business. and more than one Of his en-
ployees found himself watched when he
least supposed it. "IIe never spoke to
me but twice" one of his clerks relates.
Once | tore piece of wrapping paper

1t was almost impossible to get at
Mr.. Stewart in business hours. He was
to be seen only at the downtown store,
and on the visitors entering, the floor
walker would enquire his business. II
he said he wanted to see Mr.. Stewart,
he was asked what he wanted of him,
and if it was anything 4 subordinate
could do the visitor was turned over 10
him. Ii he still insisted upon seeing the
merchant himself, he was allowed to go
rs far as the foot of the stairs, where
another watchman was i'll waiting, aud
unless he could be satisfied that it was
worth while disturbing Mr.. Stewart, the
visitor was permitted 10 go no further.

WELL SAID Tho ElkO Indepen-
dent is entitled to the credit of fairness
in its manner of dealing with its neigh
bors who oppose its political views.
1t is a Democratic newspaper, but in
speaking of the nominees of the Re
publican county convention it saws:
The convention, which concluded its
labors Yesterday, selected ticket 10
which little or no objection can be o.
tered. With one or two exceptions we
are personally acquainted with the
nominees for every position, and know
of no reason why the county govern
ment and representation would not be
quite safe under their control. These
gentlemen have our respect and es-
TEEN, but owing to the action OF an
other nominating body, which pre-
ceded that Of yesterday by small ma
jority, we shall be compelled to with
hold our support The Democratic
nominees, although, perhaps, little
deficient in ''intelligence," are never
theless remarkably good fellows, ana
owing to a more liberal recognition or
geographical lines in the awarding OF
prizes by the Democratic convention,
strength superior to that Of their pollt-
zeal opponents. Our political adver-
saries have put a strong ticket in the
field, and therefore, the glory that will
rebound to us from the defeating OF so
formidable a foe will be largely III
creased.
This is in admirable temper, and the
lesson taught by so much fairness and
frankness OF dealing is well worth
needing even by the conductors OF
Older and bigger and more widely cir
culated newspapers. We only wish
that all parties, all stump orators and
all newspaper writer's could find it
possible to deal thus candidly and good
na,uredly with opposition candidates
and political rivals. But the millen-
enm is yet afar off, and the kindly IN
fluences of neigh borhood cannot reach
beyond their immediate surroundings.

farmers had a monopoly prior to the
