THE DIFFERENCE.

Two babes we're born in the self same town
ON the very same bright day;
Thew laughed and cried IN their mother arm
In the very self-same way.
And both were as pure and as innocent
AS falling flakes of snow;
But one of them lived in the t1rraced house,
And one in the street below.
Two children played in the selfsame town,
And the children both were fan;
But one mad her curls brushed smooth an
round
The other had tangled hair.
Both of the children grew apace,
AS ali our children grow;
But one of them lived 10 the terraced house,
And one in the street below.
Two maidens wrought in the se!f-same town,
And one was welded and loved;
The other saw through the curtains part
The world where her sister moved.
And one was smiling, a happy BRIDE,
The other knew care and woe;
For one of them lived in the lerraced house,
Aud one IN the street below.
Two women lay dead in the self-same town,
And one had tender care;
The other was left 10 die alone,
On her pallet 80 thin and bare.
One had many to mourn her oss,
For the other few tears would flow;
For one had lived in the terraced Louise,
And one III the street below.
If Jesus, who died for rich and poor,
In wonderful. molly love.
Took both of the sisters in His arms
And carried them up above;
Then all the difference vanished at last,
For IN heaven none weud know
Which of them lived in the terraced house,
And which In the street below.

cause it is not very beautiful, but be-
cause 1t Is not true. Now, how mucn
do you want for those others" And
he fingered them over like man buy

The poet really didn't know. He had
never published before; he had barely
dared TO hope TO have his verses pub
lished at all. A few copies of the paper
containing them, he was sure
''Oh, no," the editor broke in, "oh
no, no SIR. can't do that; we don't do
business that way; if a poem or sketch
IS worth publishing, it is worth paying
for. Would Sl5 pay you for these ?"
The poet blushed to the floor with graf
ltude, and the young Journalist grandly
wrote out an order and handed it to the
poet.
Take that to the court house." he
said, land the auditors clerk will give
you the money"
The poet bowed and withdrew, and
with great merriment the journalist
burned his poems and resumed their
work.
That wasn't the funny part of it, how
ever. Ike next day the sim ple-minded
poet presented his order to the clerk
designated. And it happened that the
clerk owed the paper SIS foi subscrip-
ton and advertising, and he promptly
cashed the order and turned it in when
his bill was presented, and the manager
just charged it to the salary account of
the smart young journalist who signed
the order, and the happiest man and
| maddeSt man in America are liy no in
Burlington. One of them is happy,
green, unsophiSticated young machine
poet, and the other is a wide-awake, up
to-snuf, know-the- world, get-up-and-
dust young Journalist, who is already a
rival of Horace Greeley in some of the
verbal departments of journalism.
