A Modern Elijah.

1Chtcaso Tribune.
THERE'S woman in this city who for
many years has been fed by the hand OF God
as much as Elijah OF old to whom the ravens
Pithey, and she lives at No. 6S Williams
street. Her life has been one OF extraorer
nary scattering, Of patient endurance, and Of
perfect Christian faith. \ long time ago
she was as bright and pretty young woman
as one could meet, and when she married
John Pithey the church-bells rang merrily,
and Joyous group OF friends pressed
around the young couple to extend their
hearty congratulations. That was in lifetime
when the grandmothers OF the present gene
ration had not lost the bloom from thelr
cheeks nor the light from their eyes, and it
was long time ago.
Every one who has reached the prime OF
life knows how difficult it is to keep track OF
the hurrying years. 1t is only the greater
events that are firmly dated in the mind.
After married life OF ten years, as brief as
they were happy, Mrs. Pithey was stricken
with that ancient and dreaded disease, the
palsy, which from that day to this has never
released her from its spectral grasp. Help
less as q child, having to be fed and lifted
about her room, she has never yet been
heard to utter complaint, her admonitien
to all who take her trembling hand being,
"Trust in the Lord"
In the year 1858 tire husband OF this poor
woman died suddenly OF apopleXy, leaving
her little cottage on Williams street, and
only fifty cents in money to provide for her,
self and her blind mother, nearly ninety
years Of age and bedridden. Since then
she has subsisted on faith. A few kind
hearted people have looked after her from
time to time, and lately she has been spe-
cially cared for by the Centenary church.
She never maniiests any anxiety about the
future, for she says, "The earth is the
Lords and the fullness thereof" and He
will not let any OF His children suffer.
Summer and winter come and pass and day
follows in the train OF night, and all is the
same. The blue sky may look down ever
so softly, and the sunlight may dance upon
the green fields and the crowded streets.
Sometimes the voices Of children playing
upon the sidewalk penetrate the silence OF
the sick room, and sometimes there comes
the distant rumble OF passing vehicles, and
these are her reminders Of the outer
world--a world which is to her little more
than memory. She lived in it once and
and felt its changing joys and grefs, its
hopes Frightening with the dawn OF youth
heard the gentle tones OF loved ones who
have long since passed away, saw the gar
ments of earth freshen and fade with the
passage Of the years-but that was long
time ago. She is sitting in an old arm
chair, weak and powcrless OF limb, the
shadows OF age clustering gradually over
her wrinkled face, and to each friend who
touches her trembling hand she whispers
smilingly, "Trust in the Lord

The Fat Contributor also wants reform.
Says be: "Time has been when we ieered
at the effete despotiSm of the old world for
maintaining king. We were told how
much it cost to support the royal family and
keep them in castles and such luXuries, and
we wondered that the people stood it. We
could hire President for twenty-five thou
sand dollars year in those days, the Presi-
dent boarding himself, and twenty-five
thousand dollars would hardly pay kings
hack-hirc. But we have been gradually
waking up to the fact that President isn't
so cheap luxury after all. He has been
costing more and more money every time.
The last election has been an expense to
the American people Of millions Of dollars,
and we haven't got so far as to know who
the next President is to be yet. At this rate
of expense what will our President cost
us by the time another four years roll
around?" g.
There are several old women in Michigan
who dreamed that this election would result
in war, and all prudent men are call
Ing themselves General" -Detr0it Free
