anger preached last Sunday,


A stranger preached last Sunday,
And crowds Of people came
To hear two hours sermon
With barbarous sounding name.
Twas all about some heather
Thousands of miles afar,
Who lived in land of darkness,
Called Borrroboola Cha.
So we'll their wants he pictured
That when the plate was passed
Each listener felt his pocket,
And goodly sums we're cast;
For all must lend shoulder
To push the rolling car
That carried light and comfort
To Borrroboola Cha.
That night their wants and sorrows
Lay heavy on my soul,
And in deep meditation
1 took my morning stroll;
Till something caught my mantle
With eager grasp and wild,
And looking down with wonder
1 saw little. child.
A pale and puny creature
In dirt and rags forlorp;
What could she want, questioned,
Impatient to be gone.
With trembling voice she answered,
"we live just down the street,
And mamma she's a-dyin',
And we've nothing left to eat
Down in wretched basement,
With mold upon the walls,
Through whose half-buried windows
God sunshine never falls;
Where cold, and want, and hunger
Crouched near her as she lay,
| found fellow-creature
Gasping her life away.
A chair, broken table,
A bed of dirty straw,
a hearth ali dark and fireless-
But these l scarcely saw,
For the mournful sight before me,
The sad and sickenipg show
Oh, never had I pictured
A scene 30 full Of woe
The famished and the naked,
The babes that pine for bread,
The squalid group that huddled
Around the dying bed;
All this distress and sorrow
Should be in lands afar;
Was suddenly transplanted
To Borrroboola Chap
All, no the poor and wretchcd
Were close beside my door, =
And l had passed them needless
A thousand times before.
Alas for the cold and hungry
That met me every day,
While all my tears were given
To the suffering far away.
Thoro'e work unvugh far Chr1stians
In distant lands, We know;
Our Lord commands his servants
Through all the world to 60.
Not only to the heathen;
This was his charge to them
/" Go preach the word, beginning
First at Jerusalem"
Oh. Christian, God has promised
Whoe'er to thee has given
A cup Of pure cold water
Shall find reward in heaven.
Would you secure the blessing,
You need not seek it far;
Go, find in yonder howell
A Borrroboola Cha.

Trials and Troubles of Clara Morris

National Associated Press to the Star.
New York, Nov MANY rumors and
denials of the estrangement and separation
of Clara Morris from her husband F. G..
Harriott, have lately been published, and
according to the Dramatic News, which
publishes what purporls to be an interview
with this well-known aci ress, the facts in
the case are about as follows:
Miss Morris says she never loved Harriott,
but looked up to him as man in whom
she might have confidence and respect. Her
desire was to quit theatricals and live So
cial life. She had found him cold, phleg-
matte and selfish, appearing to think OF her
only as some useful article, bringing IN so
much a week. For the sake of the world s
opinion she will not leave Mr.. Harriott;
people would attach some wrong signifi-
canoe to it. Her acting on the stage is a
necessity, as his business is not profitable.
Though in constant pain and suffering
much, he has forced her to go to the thea
ter even against the most strenuous orders
of her physician. She says the press and
public reproach her for Stimulating sick
ness to make herself interesting, but they
little know of the eternal struggle of her
life, battling on through calumny and op-
position.
Wnen playing as leaulnS lauy aC lhe
Fifth Avenue Theater she says she did not
get enough salary to live on and clothe her
self, and Mr.. Daily refused her SIS to get a
new pair of shoes unless she signed five,
years contract with him. She was playing
to a leading business with rags on her back.
Her life from childhood had been s'rug-
gle with poverty and worse ills than that
From the tenor of this interview the fact
of arrangement with her husband appears
established, and separation may yet re-
suit. Mr.. Harriolt is nephew of the late
Mayor Havemeyer and is very gentlemanly
in manners and appearance.
She describes her sufferings on the stage
while acting miss Mutton" as terrible
