TIES AND CARRIERS.

BY BARRY GRAY.
bought box of ties, one day
ssilken, ties, of various hues-
And on my dressng-case they lay,
Convenient for my daily use.
In summertime like to wear
Around my eek a narrow band !;
1t gives me quite youthful air
If fastened by my lady's hand.
One morn, while looking DER my ties
In search of a peculiar shade,
Ifound somewhat to my surprise,
That two were stolen, OF miSlaid.
PERHAPS 1 thought, ''my lady's maid
Has taken them to give her beau;
And so, when she was nigh, SAID,
81 wonder where my neck-tles go J!
She took the hint and tossed her head:
81 haven't them,' and then she shook
Her feather buster, while she said,
NEARER at home you'd better look"
Then FLUSHING, laughing, tripped away,
and left me in thoughtful mood;
But what she meant I could not say,
Nor whether it were ill or good.
But ere passed my lady's door,
paused, tapped, entered, and-We kissed,
Then saw upon the.chamber floor
The dainty ties that had missed.
Beside pair of broidered hose,
In sweet disorder did they lay,
Fresh and unsullied as a rose
Both hose and ties of pearly gray.
So what wear around my throat
MY wife wears found the-limbs that dance
We both on ties and carriers dote;
But "Honi soft qui NAL pense."

1T Is worthy of Toto that while
Russia and Turkey have each other
by the throat before plevna and in
the Shipka Pass a peace council met
III Antwerp few weeks ago Tor the
reform and codfcation OF the laws
OF nations. The association was
composed Of members from England
and the United States, from France.
Belgium, Holland, Italy and Egypt.
Its work, like that of our social sci
snce conVentiono. was the reading Of
papers concerning business and law
and treaties. A resolution was paes-
Ell urging upon all governments the
insertion in future treaties Of an ar
bltration clause. The waste and
uselessness of war are being eyery
day recognized, and though the NOR
al sentiment of mankind may not
put an end to it in this generation
many disputes like that between
Russia and Austria may yet be SET
tied In that way, even in our time.
The Alabama case ia an example
which cannot be without influence
as civilization advances. Nor sbo d
the good work of promoting such an
object be left to peace associations.
The press, the pulpit, the principals
and teachers of schools and coll eges,
the jurists, bankers and all business
people, all who have any interest,
moral or material, in society, should
combine to educate public senti-
men, against the decision of nation
al disputes by war Elk.
