The beneficial fund of the Philadel-
phia and Reading Railroad Company
makes a good report of its operations
from its organization, May 1, to Novem-
ber 80, 1877. Its receipts amounted to
$3.50 95, and its expenditures to 81 1902
q, leaving liberal balance in the trea-
sury. This institution, though its opera
tions have not yet been large, promises
to be an excellent thing for the miners.
This fund was devised and instituted by
Mr.. F. B. Gowen, the president of the
company.
An interesting and novel habeas corpus
case has arisen in the courts. The point
is, has the captain of British vessel who

an American port?

In these thirsty midsummer days peo-
pie cannot be too careful inchoosing their
drinks or too temperate after the choice
has been made. Only confirmed topers
would think of swallowing whiskey in
such sweltering weather, to do that is
simply to add fuel to the fire when you
are great deal too hot for comfort al
ready. About the merits and demerits
of lager beer as summer beverage, opin-
ion is divided; it is certainly much less
fiery than whiskey, and our German-born
fellow citizens seem to thrive on it; but
the esteemed reader who is not of that
nationality will probably consult his
health and comfort by resisting its seduc-
tions, when there is danger that they will
lead him too far.

A Child Wonder,

There are now in Louisville negress
who is perfect ohild.wondcr She is a
Scriptural marvel. She does not even
know her letters, yet she can quote accu-
ratelyalmost any passage in the Bible.
At the age of nino months she could
talk, and would frequently tell her mother
what her idea of heaven was. As she
grew older she would sit for hours and
expatiate on the beauties and glories of
the other world The colored folks
would listen to her sayings for hours.
At the age of three years she began to
lecture on heaven, its wonders, or God
and his omnipotent power. She has ec-
tured in many places, and has created a
furore in every place she has yet visited.
The prodigy lec,ured Mt the York street

at night spoke to a large crowd at the

was good, and her delivery impress.

"No, sir; l don't know my A. B. C's

She then went on in raptu.ous strain
about things biblical and spiritual. COM
pletely nonplussing the reporter.
She was accompanied by two colored
men They talked in an enthusiastic
manner about her. She said in CONVEX
saton that she believed in two kinds oil

modes of salvation; how to reach Para

were entirely original, and were not spo

Passing Away.


The grass is fading from the fields,
The leaves are turning red and gold,
And few the flowers the garden Yields,
Foi summer hath grown pale and cold
Yes, summers golden days are DER,
The winds are signing their farewell,
far on distant, brighter shore,
They pause amid the flowers to dwell.
But many mem'ries, sad and sweet,
Linger around the sunny past;
The paths we've trod with busy feet,
Are not to us a dreary waste.
For many labor hath been wrought,
And many a kindly action done,
With hand, with heart in word in thought
Where'er we roamed beneath the sun.
We have not careless idlers been,
When summer hours their blessings shed
And we expect to gather in
harvest rich, when flowers are dead.

" OCEAN MEMORIES" !"
by COL. JOYCE.

Years have gone by since we met by the sea,
The kiss that you gave, love, fingers with
me;
Thrills in my heart like an angels tune
Perfume distilled from the rose of June,
Slvery light from the face of the morn.
Lnlled to rcpose by moan of the ocean,
Clasped in thrill of blissful emotion;
Sunlight and starlight we catch but a
CLEAN,
And things are not surely all that they
seem!
Your secret and gem still fondly keep,
SO close to my heart, awake or asleep,
The world has no prize more dear unto me,
Unpurchased, unsought, Above without fee
Was that soul thrilling gift down by the
sea!
My darling! while mem'ry clings to this
brain,
I'll fondly look back DER mountain and
plain;
The dews of the morn and mists of the
night
Shall watt me away to the couch of the
light,
Drowned in the waves of your hair. out OF
sight.
Absent and lonely, my soul flies to thee;
L. ~
A land where the vine and orange doth
bloom,
And silver and gold It's mountains entomb,
A paradise planted, rich with perfume.
Deep in my heart have built pure shrine,
Where can worship your love, so divine,
To which can turn in moments of sorrow,
Kneeling to one from whom | can borrow,
Pleasures and peace to bless me tomorrow.
The fruit timely plucked from ripe sun
ny tree,
Is sweeter than all the "grcen cages " to
me;
Solove freely given, heart full with mind,
Leaves nothing but glorious mem'ries be-
hind
A vision of beauty so noble and kind.
Sadly sigh for your loving embrace,
Fancy awakens the light of your face;
Out through the mist of your echoless shore
Angels are calling my lost, loved Lenore ;
Weeping, pine for your love evermore.
