Weaving tho Web.

bf MIS- JULIA - ne DSashs'
This morn l will weave my Web" she said.
As she stood by her loom in the rosy light,
And her Young eyes, hopefully glad and clear,
Followed aiar the swallows flight.
AS soon as the days first tasks are done,
While yet am fresh and strong, said she,
81 will hl sten to weave the beautiful web
Whose pattern is known to none but me
Il will weave it fine will weave 1t fair,
And ali how the colOrs will glow" she said
$50 fadeless and strong will weave my web
That perhaps il will live after AN dead
But the morning hours sped on apaee
The air grew sweet with the breath oil June
The young love hid by the waiting loom,
Tangled the threads as he hummed tune.
.Ah life is SO rich and full" she cried,
And morn is short though the days are long
This noon will weave my beautiful weo
will weave it carefully fine and strong"
But the sun rode high In the clcudless SKY
The burden and heat o. the day she bore:
And hither ard th!ther she came and went.
While the loom stood still as it stood before.
An life is too busy at noon." she said;
MY web must wait till the eventde,
Till the common work Of the day is done
And my heart grows calm in the silence "iie
SO, one by one, the hours ps ssed on
TIL the creeping shadows had longer grown
The house was still and the breezes slept,
AMI her singing birds to their nests had down.
And now will weave my web,' she said,
As she turned TO her loom at set OF sun,
And laid her hand on the shining threads
To set them in order one by one.
But hand was tired ami heart was weak
liam not as strong as | was" sighed she.
And the pattern is blurred. and the cOlors rare
are not so bright or so fair to see
81 must wait, think, till another morn;
l must go to my rest with my work undonei
1t is growing too dark to weave 2" she cried,
As lower and lower sank the sun.
She dropped the shuttle the loom stood still
The weaver slept in the twilight gray.
Dear heart Will she weave her beautiful web
In the golden light OF longer day.

TIE Hewitt Committee at New York con

TIE Hewitt Committee at New York con
cluded, on Wednesday, that it had wasted
enough time in listening to the wild theories
OF communists, and labor agtators and hence
forth there will lie no more such hearings :;
but parties who have valuable suggestions to
make, can send in their points on paper,
Among the last of the reformers who ad-
dressed the Committee was Mr.. Alexander
Robb who wanted all travel on railroads and
steamboats, to be free.
Mr.. Hewitt suggested that travelling
would be largely increased.
"You may SMILE" continued the witness,
"but there is great deal in it.
There is love in it" said Mr. Robb,
earnestly, "there is Justice in it; there is
right in it. And that is more than can be
said for the present system"
Mr.. Robb wanted also to abolish all in
terest, and thought that the Government
ought to send the surplus population onto
the public lands. lie quoted largely from
Leviticus in support of these views.
Morris Cohen made haste to state after
Mr.. Robb had concluded that the Socalistic
Labor party was political party. land, =" said
he, "we have nothing to do with Jesus Christ
or the Bible or anything else''-that the
Christian utterances Of Mr.. Robb were his
individual opinions, for which no hoped the
party would not he held responsible.
Ben. BUTLER and the rest of the imitation
sts are in favor of deprecated paper money
for workingmen. They think they can fool
the people by telling them dollar and
half in paper worth dollar in coin is better
than paper dollar worth it face in coin, be
cause there would be more Of the former
than the latter. The leaders assume to know
more than the men who work with their
hands. about the value of money. The man
ayers Of ol d shinplaster banks used to talk
the same way. The argument then was
that money would be plenty-that is, easily
obtainable-ii coin redemption were not de
manded. That theory was soon exploded
and the banks broke. 1t turned out that the
banks that were so anxious to make money
plenty were so rotten that they did not pay
fifty cents on the dollar. That experience
cost the country hundreds Of millions of dol
lars. The National bank has wiped out the
whole shinplaster system, and made the is
sue of that kind of paper impossible. The
result is We have now the best paper money
in the world. The bank may break, hut
the paper is goOd.-CiRdnnatI Gazette.

around the yard three times more in the
opposite direction, with four kinks in
his tail. I am slow to wrath, but am
afraid was beginning to get mad, and
when [ went around behind the house
and got hatchet, | am obliged to con-
fess that it was with a firm purpose to
kill that hog or die trying to. | don't
think the hog had noticed the wood
shed until I went there for the hatchet,
but when I returned to the front yard,
he Immediately retired to the wood-shed
and then I knew I had him cornered.
Maria by this time recovered her pres
ence of mind, and had got her head out
of front window, up stairs, and was
yelling "Fire," with all her might, and
in way calculated to be of inestimable
service to me. All needed to spur me
on to glory was some one to yell "Fire."
I entered the woodshed cautiously,
and found the hog completely at my
mercy, unless he made hole through
the kitchen door and escaped that way.
He did not do that. On the contrary
he rushed right at me. | stepped back
rather hastily, not because he scared
me any, but to prevent him from tearing
my pozoaaaise. I am always careful to
keep hogs off my polonaise, SO far as is
possible. There was wash tub full of
suds behind me, and as stepped back
out of the way of the hog, in tit of
absent mindedness, I sat in that tub.
It may seem curious, but my recollection
now is that the tub fitted me a good
deal more snugly than the polonasse
had, and yet had never tried that tub
on before in all my born days. The
only way out of the tub was to tip it
over, and float out on the suds, and that
| at once did. Maria still true to me
in my aff1ietion, opened the kitchen door,
and with her face full of wifely anxiety,
and surrounded by night cap frill,
and her mouth wide open, she really
looked like saint or something, but
she was remarking murder" at the
time, and her voice so startled the hog
that he ran over me before I could get
out of the suds. How he managed to
step on me thirty-two times IN running
over me once, is a mystery both to Ma
ria Ann and myself, but he did. because
we counted the spots his hoofs made.
After running over me he walked out of
the front as solemnly as though he were
on his way to church, and it is my sober
belief that he came into the yard on
purpose to run over me, and for nothing
else. Maria Ann declares she won't
wear that polonaase any more. and | am
tolerably sure [ shall not s; not if know
it.-SttNacdter Latnabermdn.

A VALLEY OF DEsoLATION.

A spot almost as terrible as the proph-
cts valley of dry bones lies just north of
the old Mormon road to California, a
region thirty-six miles long, by thirty
broad, and surrounded, except at two
points, by inaccessible mountains. 1t is
totally devoid of water and vegetation,
and the shadow Of bird or wild beast
never darkens its white glaring sands.
The Kansas Pacific railroad engineers
discovered it, and also some papers which
show the fate of the lost Montgomery
train, which came south from Salt Lake
in 1850, guided by Mormon. When
near Deaths Valley. they came to the
conclusion that the Mormons knew moth
ing about the country, SO they appointed
one of their number leader, and broke
off from the party. The leader turned
due west; SO with the people and wag-
ons and focks he travelled three days,
and then descended into the broad val
ley, whose treacherous mirage promised
water. They reached the centre, but
only the white sands, bounded by scoreh-
ing peaks met their gaze. Around the
valley they wandered, and one by one
the men died, and the painting focks
stretched themselves in death under the
hot sun. The children, crying for water.
died at their mothers breasts, and with
swollen tongues and burning vitals the
mothers followed. Wagon after wagon
was abandoned, strong men tottered and
raved and died.
After a weeks wandering, dozen
survivors found some water in hollow
| of a rock in the mountain. It lasted
but short time, when all perished but
two, who escaped out of the valley and
followed the trail of their former COM
panions. Eighty-seven families. with
hundreds of animals, perished there; and
now, after twenty-seven years, the wag-
ons still stand complete and the iron
works and tires are bright and the shriy-
eled skeletons lay side by side.
