THE Il M T CIR Gle
"IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME.n
BY adobe l.. WYMAN.

So long rs rain and sunshine fall,
The blossom shall not fail
Which friendship seeks when friends must bal
To give with her farewell;
And long as any breath of spring
Within our hearts shall stir,
We shall not ask, How fair ? how sweet?
But only say, From her.
To-day I found some withered leaves,
Once fragrant, fresh and fair,
/ held them tenderly and smiled
AT what was pictured there
Smiled happily, and looked away
Behind the bygone years,
And saw the waves upon the sand,
And heard the boatman's cheers.
and saw the blue sky overhead
With white-sailed clouds benight,
Aud wore them on my breast again
Aud said again, "Good-night."
HGood-night;'' and then / folded them
With precious things away.
To me they are not withered leaves
But sweet-soulea words to-day.
"Good-night, - and with my treasure safe
My trust with God l keep,
And read his word, and pray, before
T lay me down to sleep.
Dear Christ, forgive the hayward feet.
And stay the falling hands,
And guide to pastures fresh and sweet
Thy little straying bands.
Still in the wine We drink thy blood,
And eat the broken bread;
And still our sacred VOWS renew
With bowed aud and reverent head.
Still may we hold thy gift of peace,
And, sweet as morning light,
Hear once again the tender tones
That gave our souls goodnight.

follows it, obeys nature and never is afraid

Many troubles We must meet,

And in heaven a home provide us,
Then, let's in that hand conf1de.

IF Jennie wanted him, she might send for
him or get her sister to invite him to tea, as

not sent for, neither was he invited to tea,
and his spirits began to wax low.
Z" IF she'd cared a dump about me she'd
have got in my way somehow before this

The idea of not being cared for, even to
the extent of dump, was not cheerful.
That night he strolled carelessly by the shop,
but on the opposite side ofthe way. Nothing
was to be seen of Jennie. He walked on in
a brown study and went deliberately by the
shop with only n eye, however, turned

The investigation Blocked by Recus-
SAINT Witness.
WASHINGTON, Mar. 13.-Hallett Kilbourne
appeared before the Real Estate Pool Commit
tee this morning ana again declined to pro-
duce the private books and papers of the firm
of Kilbourne & Latta, in relation to their real
estate transactions, on the ground that he and
his partner are engaged in private bu sness and
have no connection with the United States ex-
cept to pay taxes and obey the laws. They are
not conscious of having violated any law nor
are they charged with any fraud, and the pro-
duction of their books and papers would reveal
their transactions with their customers. If.
however, any respectable citizen would allege
that their business had any relation with the
public interests they would submit all their
books and papers to the committee, but not
otherwise.
The room was then cleared for deliberatiou,
with the exception of the counsel, aud the
committee proceeded to make up the case
against Kilbourne to be reported to the House.
The committee have decided to report to-
morrow Mr.. Kilbourne's refusal to answer to
the House, together with excerpts from the
records, showing the questions to which he re-
fused answers and accompanied with a resolu-
ton directing the Sergeant-at-Arms Of the
House to present the recussant witness before
the bar of the house for its action,

BLAINE in MIssoURI-In a long article on
Missouri Republican preferences for candidate
for President, published in the Chicago Tri-
bune, the following observations are made re-
lative to Mr. Blaine:
The most impressive and significant fact in
the investigation of the political problem from
a Republican standpoint in this state IS the
outspoken preferences everywhere manifested
fer James G. Blaine. Having boldly asked
not less than one hundred Americans Re-
publicans in this city, many of them from
the interior, and some of them honered
with the confidence of the party in the past
it has been the experience of the writer
that three out of four have preferred Blaine.
The only exceptions are those who follow the
German Liberals in supporting Bristew, and
the federal officials or colored men after Nor
ton. The st. Louis county committee,-nearly
all the Republican candidates of the past four
years. Republican members of the legislature
and men who know the temper of the party,
are friendly to Blaine by the score. In fact, it
is impossible to ignore the decided tendency of
the Republicans to sustain the Blaine move
ment in St. Louis. A prominent Republican
leader told me on Change yesterday that every
day he heard fresh expressions of preference
for Blaine over everybody. The Belknap scan.
dal had rather intensified the desire to see
Blaine elected. The absence of objection to
Blaine account of lvoeIity ts one of the
marked peculiarities of the Republican stua-
alton. 1t is evident that the party in this state
would hail his nomination with unbounded
gladneSS.

The Western settlers Chosen Specific

With every advance Of emigration into the far
West, new demand is created for Hostetters Stom-
ach Bitters. Newly peopled regions are frequently
less salubrious than older settled localities, on ac-
count of the masma which rises from recently cleared
land particularly along the banks of rivers that
subject to freshets. The agricultural or mining emil
grant soon learns, when he does not already know
chat the Bitters afford the only sure protection
against malaria and those disorders of the stomach
liver and bowels to which climatic changes exposure,
and unaccustomed or unhealthy water diet subject
him. Consequently he places an estimate upon this
great household specific and preventive commensur-
ate with its intrinsic merits and is careful to keep
hand restorative and promoter of health so implic
lily to be relied upon in time of need.
