Those hearts Of ours--how strange how
strange
How they yearn to ramble and love to range
Down through the wales of the years long
gone,
Up through the future that fast rolls on.
To-ddys are dull-so they wend their ways
Back to their beautiful yesterdays
The present is bank-so they wing their
fight
To future to-morrows where all seems bright.
Build them bright and beautiful home
They'll soon grow weary and want TO roam I;
Find them spot without sorrow or pain,
They may stay day but they re off again.
Those hearts Of ours-how wild how wild !
They're as hard 10 tame as an indian child:
THEY'RE as restless as waves on the sounding
sea,
Like the breeze and the bird are they tickle
and free.
Those hearts Of ours-how lone how lone
However, forever they mourn and moan:
Let them reve in jov-let them riot in cheer.
The revelry over, they're all the more drear.
Those hearts of ours-how warm how warm !!
Like the suns bright ray, like the summer
How they beam and burn how they CLEAN
and glow
There flesh and fame hide but ashes below.
Those hearts of ours-how cold how cold
Like DEFENDERS snow on the waste or void !;
And though our DEFENDERS melt soon into
May,
Some know Defenders that pass not away.
Those hearts of ours-how deep how deep F!
Nav you sound the sea whore the corals sleep,
Where never bllow hath rumbled or rolled
Depths still the deeper our hearts hide and
hold.
Where the wild storm tramp hath meier been
known,
The wrecks Of the sea lie low and lone:
Thus the hearts surface may sparkle and
glow,
There arc wrecks far down, there are graves
below.
| Those hearts of ours, but after all,
How shallow and narrow how tiny and
Like scantiest streamlet or summers least
rll,
They are easy to empty, as easy to fill.
One hour of storm and how the streams pour
One hour of sun and the streams are no more
One grief, how the tears of the heart gush and
One smile, flow they ever so fast, they arc
dried
| Those hearts Of onrs-how wise how wise
They can lift their thoughts till they toucl
the skies
They can sink there shafts like miner bold
Their VISIONS mines hide their pearl ant
gold.
Aloft they soar with the undazzled gaze,
Where the halls of the day-king burn an
blaze;
Or they fly with wing that will never fail,
Ger the sky's dark sea where the star-ship
sail.
Those hearts of ours-what fools what FOOLS
How they laugh al Wisdom, her laws ant
rules
How they waste their powers, and whe
wasted, grieve
For what they have squandered, but canIo
retrieve.
Those hearts of ours-how strong hov
strong
Let thousand sorrows around them ihrong
They can bear them all aud thousand more
And they're stronger then than they wer
before.
Those hearts of ours-how weak how weak
But single word Of unkindness speak,
Like poisoned shaft, like a viper's fang,
That one slight word leaves lifelong pane
Those hearts of ours-but I've said enough,
AS 6Id that my rhyme grows rude an
rough.

With lo-morrow's sun TO resume my strain.

EdiSOn'S Baby.

There are those who intimate that
Nh. Edisons neuralgia did not proceed
from mere cold. Yesterday morning
at 9 o'clock, Mrs. Edison presented the
professor with new edition, bound in
baby clothes. The baby weighed twelve
pounds, and is said to have manifested
remarkable indications of precocity from
the moment of birth. The boy kicked
Justify when they essayed to dress him,
evidently preferring the costume of
Eden, and performed other antics indie
ative OF the intellectual independence
which distinguishes his inventive father.
However, that affair was managed after
two hours struggle, and the little fell
low greeted his paternal ancestor in the
daintiest muslin, with ruff1es and furbe-
lows, such as only mothers fancy can
imagine. The professor began to mend
from that moment. Mrs. Edison sus-
poets that his Improvement is due to the
excogitation of plan for introducing a
battery into the baby's lungs, and max
ing him cry by electricity, or for light
ing him by some such agency The
professor disclaims any such intention,
but inventive minds will always bear a
little surveillance-N York Herald.

She thanked me so much and was so
greatly pleased that I mean to keep on

"And l." said another boy, Thought

asked me to hold his horse. I did SO,
and he gave me five cents, and I have

A fifth boy said: Il saw my mother

[ asked mother to put the baby in my

Singular Suicides.

In the year 1900, William Darlington
threw himself from the parapet of the
Church of st. Sepulcher, in London,
leaving behind him note, stating as
his reason that he wanted to go to
the opera that night, but had not money
enough to purchase ticket of admis-
sion."
A farmer in Allendale, Eng. got a
gun barrel, loaded it, and placed the
stock end in hot fire, and leaned his
stomach against the other The barrel
soon became hot and exploded, killing
the unfortunate wretch instantly.
A blacksmith in New Orleans, in
1S41, killed himself in the same man
ner, blowing his bellows until the
fire was hot enough to explode the gun
barrel.

England drowned herself in rain cask

old book. She was sweet 1871"

himself to the heart.
In a French newspaper of 1862 we
find an account of a man who, his wife
having proved unfaithful to him, called
his valet and informed him that he was
about to kill himself, and requested that
he would boil him down and make a
candle of his fat and carry it to his mis-
tress, handing her at the same time the
following note: DEAREST THEREsE:
have long burned for you, and I now
prove to you that my flames are real.
Yours, PIERRE.
A young lady 10 yaars of age, having
gambled away large fortune, hung
herself at Bath, Eng, with a gold and
silver girdle. The following note was
found in her hand: "Thus / tie myself
up from play" This was worthy of a
French woman.

CIvIL-sERvICE reform in Japan seems
to have taken a decidedly practical and
business-like turn. Having perceived
that nothing in the way of reform
in the administration Of the Gov

while the present Ministers were in
power, the reformers notified the Mika-

stacles by assassination, and followed
this notice by promptly killing two

certainly has look Of efficiency to rec

n Bloomington, Ill, and went abroad
i've years ago. The Chicago Tribune
says: She is blonde of statuesque

presence that is very easy and unaffect-

9venness and roundness in all the reg

Of more than ordinary compass. The
most salient feature of this voice, per-
haps, is it's wonderful fexibility; in this
respect it is almost phenomenal" Her
acting is said to be very good.

SOME very curious provisions against
the Chinese have been proposed in the
Constitutional Convention of California.
Among those that have actually been
adopted by the Committee on Chinese
is one that DISTINGUISHES citizens who
employ Chinamen. Another prohibits
Cinnamon from suing or being sued in
the courts, and declares that any lawyer
who appears for them shall forfeit his
license to practice. It also provides
that no business license shall be granted
to any corporation Of person employing
them, and forbids public officers from
having them in their employ under pen

The International Humane Societ7

IHE international Humane Society,
at it's recent session in Baltimore
brought out some curious facts in re-
gard to the cruelty practiced in ship
ping livestock. In paper read before
the association, it was stated that the
cost of transportation over all trunk
lines, except the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, from st. Louis and Chicago,
is $115 per car, of which the eveners,
or those who regulate shipments, re-
ceive $15 per car, and which yield to
the latter revenue of $1,0OO,OOO a
year. The whole freights for live
stock are pooled, of which the New
York Central gets 40 per cent, the
Pennsylvania railway 80 per cent, and
the Erie 80. The cattle brought from
Minnesota are eight days on the road to
New York, and are fed and watered but
twice-at Pittsburgh and Buffalo
though producers, or those having
stock in charge, are required to pay
$1,O00,OOO for hay and grain, which the
stock never gets, and 100000 addi-
tional for yardage.

A Fable With a Moral.

From the German
"Why, Nellie, what makes you SO
late?"
Il had to stay after school, cause I
missed my lesson" answered Nellie,
with pout. CHOW 7 suppose my din

that's happened to me, and nobody's
to blame for it but that hateful James p

you mean our dear little 6-year-old
Jamie?"
eyes, I do. This recess one of the
girls gave him the biggest red apple
ever saw; and I only asked him for a
bite, and the disagreeable boy wouldn' t
give me so much as the teentiest bit
lie ate every speck Of it, and nearly
choked himself with the core, he was in
such hurry when the bell rang. After
recess, instead of studying, I kept
thinking what stingy thing he was,
and SO [ was marked for idleness, and
again for inattention, and then, after
all, l missed my lesson"
"I'm very sorry" said mamma, "that
my Jamie was SO selfish, and that you
should have met with such a series of
mlstortunes in consequence; but here
is your dinner, hot and nice, for Bridget
kept it in the oven for YOU
Poor Nellie found more comfort than
she would have believed possible in her
mothers gentle words, and was quite
her cheerful little self again by the
time that Jamie came in from coasting.
" PLEASE tell me a story, Nell" he
said to her, as he lay stretched out on
the rug in front of the open fire Just
before bedtime.
"Pll read you one out of my new
book, if you'll never be such a bad boy
again as you were to-day"
"Il be gooder than apples, forever
and ever" answered Jamie, with his
sweetest smile. ....
So Nellie took up her book-and
wasn't it strange that it should have
opened of itself at this tragic story
Nellie read it, you may be sure, with
the utmost expression, calling Jamie's
attention to every picture.

Saving and Spending.

1t is not true that the great victories
Of life are to the sharp and immoral
man, as rule. Here and there, by
sharpness and cunning, men rise into
wealth, but that wealth is not of kind
to remain. It takes a certain amount
of virtue, of self-denial, of morality, to
lay up and to keep money. In the lives
of nearly all rich men there have been
periods of heroic self-denial, of patient
industry, of Christian prudence. Cir
cumstances did not make these men
rich. The highest moral prudence made
them rich. While their companions
were dancing away their youth, Or
drinking away their middle age, these
men were devoted to small economies
putting self-indulgence entirely aside.
Ii our correspondent or our readers will
recall their companions, we think the
first fact they will be impressed with is
the measure of equality with which they
started in the race for competence or
wealth. The next fact they will be i'm
pressed with is the irregularity OF the
end. Then, if they make an inquisition
into the causes of the widely varying
results, they will be profoundly i'm
pressed with the insignificant part "cir-
cumstances " have played in those re-
suits. Circumstances? Why, the rich
mans son who had all the "circum-
stances of the town has become beg
gar. The poor, quiet lad, the only son
of his mother, and she widow, who
could only earn money enough to pro-
cure for her boy the commonest educa
ton, is man of wealth and has become
a patron of his native village. The man
who possesses and practices virtue
makes his own circumstances. The self
denying, prudent man creates around
himself an atmosphere of safety where
wealth naturally takes refuge provid-
