4 gentleman once said 10 hi. pastor
d" How can / best train up my bow iu
the way he should go| BY going
that way yourself" wisely replied the
minister. This reminds us if a story
told by DIR. Thompson. He had climbed
nearly to the top Of n steep mountain,
lifting his feet carefully over the pro-
jecting rocks, when family from below
he heard a silvery voice call out, " Take
the safe path, father; Tn coming after
you" His heart stood still as he real
lied the danger Of his precious boy. III
fathers only remembered that the boys
are indeed coming after them, how diff
ferently they would walk. Ii they

the boys. If they get angry, they viii

future. Knowing well our fearful re-
sponsibility, we yet carelessly set poor
examples for our dear ones to copy, and
not only endanger our own souls but

WHAT AILs THE woRLDl
BY FATHER Ryan.


d What ail- the world 80 the Poet cried
And why does Death walk everywhere
And ehv DO tears fall anywhere
and skies have clouds, and souls have care
And thus the Poet sang, and sighed.
Far be- would lain have all things glad.
All lives happy, all heaat~ bright
<pf day would end IN night,
N.ta wrong would yex right
And .J He stug-au4 he was sad.
Thrar hI- very crandest rhymes
Moved "a mouruful monotone
Like shadow eastward thrown
Erlu suu-ct-liee moan
Tangled iu Joy-bell- chimes.
nlyhat ais the world ne sang, and asked
And asked and s7ng-but ali in vain
40 answer came 20 any strain,
And uo reply 70 his refrain
The mystery moved round him, masked.
.yghat aiI- the world - an echo came

With famous or forgotten hands,
Lift up their Tyres iH all the lands,
haH olaaut alike, and ask the same
From him whose soul first scared in song
A ACKNOWLEDGMENT years away,
To hIu who sang but yesterday,
I'm dying or tu acutHles- lay

And SD they chaUut Ju countless keys
As many the waves Of seas
And as the breatHiug~ of the breeze,

Whom DER the li-tnins world there floats
such melody as captures men
When ajl look up entrauced-and when
The song Of fame floats f5rth-e'en then

Their sweetest harps have broken strings
Their graude-t accords have their jar
Like shadows on the light Of stars
And somehow something ever mars
The song the greatest minstrel sings.
And 500 each song f. incomplete,
And not rhyme can ever round
Into the chords of perfect sound,
The tones oi thought that e'er surround
The WAYS walked by the Poets feet.

Tho echoes of his song pass by

Why Eve Did Not Keep a Hired Girl.

A lady writer in one of our exchanges
furnishes some of the reasons why Eve
did not keep hired girl She SAYS.
There has been a great deal said
about tina faults Of woman and why they
need so much waiting on. Some one
Ga man, of course has the presumption
to ask "Why, when Eve was manufac-
tured of spare rib, Il servant was not
made, at the same time, to wait upon
herr" She didn't need any. A bright
writer has said Adam never came whin-
ing to Eve with a ragged stocking to be
darned, buttons to be sewed ON, gloves
to be mended, fright awav-quick-
now" because he never read the news
papers until the sun went down behind
the palm trees, and he, stretching him
self, yawned out: Isn't supper ready.
my dear Not he He made the fire
and hung the kettle over it himself,
we'll venture, and pulled the radi-hes,
peeled the potatoes, and did everything
else he ought to do He MIXED the
cows, fed the chickens, and looked after
the pigs himself and never brought
half dozen friends to dinner when
Eve hadn't any fresh pomegranates
He never stayed out till IL o'clock at
night. and then scolded because poor
Eve was sittingup and crying inside the
gates He never lOated around corner
groceries while Eve was rocking little
Gains cradle at home. He did not call
Eve up from the cellar to get his slip
pers and put them in the corner where
he left them. Not he. When he took
them off he put them under the fig tree
beside his Sunday boots. In short, ne
did not think she was especially created
for the purpose of waiting on him,
and he wasn't under the impression
that it disgraced a man to tighten
wife's cares a little. That's the reason
Eve did not need hired girl, and with
it was the reason her fair descendants

Why She Married Again.

a happy-looking married couple were
pointed out, and | was told that the lady
had been married once before When
her husband died he left a will giving
his widow $50, 900 a year as long as she
remained a widow, and all Of his fortune
if she married again, for he maliciously
added: g | want another man to know
how wretched she made me, and he may
find some consolation in my money"
The widow was not long in finding an
other husband, and out Of spite to her
former spouse makes the present hus-
band supremely happy, and the wealth
of the deceased is an immense factor to
that end.

A. 7. Stewards Bones.


There have been reports that the re-
mains of the New York millionaire,
A. Il. Stewart, which were stolen last
year from the grave in which they had
been placed, had been recovered, but the
report seems to be untrue. The "Tri-
bune" says:
Another, though not yet final chap
ter, must be written in the strange ro-
nance of the theft of Alexander II.
Stewards body. The negotiations be-
gun in January last as announced in
the Tribune" of January both, have
come to naught, and the body is still in
the hands of the robbers. OF the five
robbers only Henry G.. Romaine is
known by name. The lawyer through
whom they have sought to negotiate is
Patrick III. Jones, formerly Post master,
and late Register of New York. The
sum demanded was 100000. Judge
Hilton refused to pay more than $25 900,
the original reward for the return of the
body. All efforts having failed to secure
both robbers and body, Judge Hilton, on
July oath, reopened negotiations for the
ransom of the body without regard to
the conviction of the thieves. These
negotiations are now pending.

A Novel Ride.

Sunday afternoon as the Pacific ex-
press east was running along at the
usual rate just east of Harrisburg, the
engineer noticed flock of turkeys on
the track and ran into them. He notic-
ed that one of them did not get out of
the way, and when he was oiling his
engine at Lancaster, he looked around
the front part of the locomotive and
found Mr.. Turkey perched up under the
body of the engine on the shute used
for taking water while running. He
took it out and it was not hurt in the
least, as far as he could see, and took it
to his home. The turkey had taken a
ride of thirty miles and more, and con-
sidering the way he '!.got aboard" it was
a novel ride.

A Singular Case.

The Bethlehem "Times" records
novel accident: One day last week a
large stone grist mill on Spring creek, at
Trexlertown, suddenly stopped running,
and on looking for the cause it was
found, much to the surprise of the mill
hands, that sink hole had opened in
the water of the forebay, and that the
water was disappearing through this
subterranean passage as fast as it flowed
in through the race. Part of the foun-
dations of the mill also sunk out of
sight. 1t is thought that the water
power cannot be restored.

Accident on the Pennsylvania r. r.

A serious accident occurred on Mon
day about midnight, on the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad at Dillerville, point one
mile west of Lancaster, where the road
branches, one line via Columbia and the
other via Mount Joy. Itseems that the
switch-tender left the switch open on
the main branch just as the Atlantic
Express was approaching. The engine,
tender, baggage car, two Adams Express
cars, and one peach car, were wrecked,
the engine being thrown into the ditch,
butno one was hurt. The train was
delayed some hours.

he fell into very unfortunate blunder
when he noticed the death of Mrs. Sar-
toris, and identified her as Nellie Grant.
This lady is greatly beloved in Amer

brought sorrow to many hearts. 1t is to
be hoped that her father and mother
were outside of the cable news circuit
