The Delinquent subscriber.

One day last week while sad and dreary,
As we wended, weak and weary,
Across the unswept floor:
We heard, at first, a gentle tapping,
Then it became an earnest rapping
At toursanctum door.
Come inT we said; while yet we pom
dered
And in silence we still wondered
What for us could be in store;
Then, the door-bolt gently turning.
In he walked. Our cheek was burning
Thoughts of crimson gore.
Are you the man who does the wri-
ting?"
What word will rhyme with this but
fighting?
Quickly thought We DER and o'er).
aSir, we are" We gently told him,
Nodding to the boys to hold him,
If he tried to beat us sore.
'Then you'll please give me credit
Opposite that little debit
For two dollars more;
like your paper and will take it
As long as you strive to make it
As good as it has been before.
We jumpedi he lodged! thus we missed
him,
Or we should have surely kissed him,
No matter if the boys did roar;
So seldom treated in this manner.
We felt inclined to sing hosannah!
Only this and nothing more.

POETRY.
The SUN and the Dew-drop-


Serene was the night. and the moon in
her beauty
Sailed on thro' TIE depths of the star
studded sky;
Not a sound, save the plaintiye sigh Of
the zephyr,
Which seemed to my ear like some
soft lullaby.
But in vain did kind nature lure me to
slumber,
Tho silken my coverlet, downy my
bed;
Sleep, tho | sought i, yet came not to
soothe me,
Or still the wild throbbings of heart
and of head.
I arose from my couch of unrest and OF
sorrow;
Beauteous the morning, surprisingly
fair;
But tho nature was smiling, my heart
was still heavy,
For sad was the ruin which grief had
wrought there.
A dew-drop which shone in the beams
of the morning,
Attracted my gaze with its clear, bril-
liant ray,
As the bright sun with still purer luster
endowed it,
As he arose from the east on his lu-
minous way.
But anon. ere the sun had attained his
meridian,
That dew-drop so lovely had vanished
away;
And SCARED to the God which at morn
ing arrayed it t-----
In all its bright beanty, absorbed in
his ray.
The dew.drop SO Aeeting, SO pure and
attractive,
Doth often remind me, my darling, Of
thee; 4
Bright was thy life's morning, and pure
as the dew-drop,
But o far too feeting, too transient
for me.
But precious the lesson the sun and the
dew-drop,
Have in sympathy given my grief to
control,
Which sheds, ever constant, by its bless
ed teaching.
Bright comforting rays Ger the night
Of my soul
That God who didst shed on my child in
life's morning,
Those bright tints which charmed the
mind and the sense,
Too fair for this cold. blighting, bleak
world He thought her,
And bore the sweet tiow'ret to brighter
elines hence.
Ilaid her to rest underneath the green
willow,
And naught could my grief-stricken
spirits console.
But now feel assured it was love that
removed her.
Ere the stains of maturer life sullied
her soul. Irish Times.

A TEST CASE.
HOvey, the Crooked Urbana
Clerk, En- Route Home.

L. C. Hovey, the absconded City
Clerk of Urbana, is on his way home from
Canada, after a well tried contest of his
case in the courts of that Dominion as to
whether the extradition papers should be
granted. In his case there were two ap-
plicatious made to the Secretary of State
at Washington, for warrants, the first be-
ing March 2, and another on March 20.
The case ON which depended the issue of
Hovey's return to the United States, oc-
cupied considerable time in the courts at
st. Thomas and able lawyers were en-
ployed to defend. There are a great
number of men there in the same posi-
tion in which Hovey found himself, and
they watched the progress of the case
with a deal of interest.
On the first issue of the case the de-
cision Of the court was that Hovey
should be returned, and the attorneys for
the defendant carried the case to the
Supreme Court. There were two charges
-one being for forging bonds and the
other for altering the records of the
city. On one of these the higher court
confirmed the decision of the court be-
low, which resulted in the delivering up
of Hovey to the United States authori-
ties.
There are some fine points in this case,
as the papers were prepared with great
care and final issue was through the
Governors Office here after the proceed
ings at Washington. The case further
more settles point of refuge as taken
advantage of by class of men like

A Feathered Child.

A friend of the San Francisco Call
sends the following literal translation
from recent number of the VIgie de
Cherbourg (France), which vouches fo1
the truth of the story: "Cherbourg pos
sesses now marvellous phenomenon
unique without doubt since the world
exists-a child six months old, Angus
tine Layer, who bears upon her head a
feather, which drops off and is replaced
every six days, the Phoenix fabulous
rising from its ashes and becoming a re-
ality. We have seen the twenty-third
feather which has bloomed in succession
upon the head of this infant. We as
sisted last Saturday at its fathers house
Ga clever joiner, No. 10l Sainte Honore
street, at the falling out of the last. We
will probably assist to-day towards four
o'clock at the birth of the twenty-fourth.
Behold how this strange phenomenon
occurs; nothing is more curious: A bud
forms upon the nape (nuque) of the in
fant. AT the moment when the bud
ought to open Augustine experiences a
slight trembling, accompanied with some
pain. The bud opens and the feather
shows itself, pushing out, but bent in
order to obtain its full length, some ten
to twelve centimetres. Its golden upon
its borders, and presents the most varie-
gated and charming shades. When it
falls out some drops of white liquid
ooze out of the hole, which closes i'm
mediately without leaving sign of its
existence until the temperance of a
new bud. The infant bears this feather
on its head sometimes six and some
times four days, and, what is still more
mysterious, the new feather takes as
much time to bloom as the old does to
die or fall off.

A Mother's Love.

Detroit Free Press
Just before the circus opened yester
day afternoon, a woman, accompanied
by her son, boy about sixteen years Of
age, appeared on the ground and was the
first at the ticket wagon. When the
window was opened the mother said
to the ticket-seller:
IF you will be so kind as to let pool

he will carry water to the elephant

cried as he took the haif-dollar over hel
head. - Z q
She took her boy BY the hand and
marched to the entrance to the big tent,
explaining to the man at the door.
"My Johnny is going to carry hay to
the camels."
"You and your Johnny carry your
selves right out Of thisP' was the very
emphatic reply.
Couldn't we both go in for ten cents,
If we sat on the ground?"
NO, ma'aml Stand back, now; you are

They fell back for consultation. The
boy had tears inhis eyes, and the mother
looked determined.
Don't cry, Johnny dear-your moth
er loves you and will get you in" she
consolingiy remarked, and she led him
again to the ticket wagon. Crowding
and pushing her way in. she called out:
"rhis boys father was preacher, and
you ought to let him in free"

She drew the boy out of the crowd and
took walk around the tent. There

said:
Johnny, mothers love can sur

didn't stop rolling until he had gone

what had happened.

somelhIng About Fans.

Kan 81 was the first lady who carried
fan. She lived in ages which are past,
and for the most part forgotten, and she
was the daughter of a Chinese Manda-
rim. Who evsr saw Mandarin, even
on a tea-chest. without his fan? In
China and Japan to this day every one
has fan; and there are fans of all sorts
for everybody. The Japanese waves
his fan at you when he meets you, by
way of greeting, and the beggar who So
licits aims has the exceedingly small
coin made on purpose" for charity pre-
sented to him on the tip of the fan.
In ancient times, amongst the Greeks
and Romans, fans seem to have been
enormous; they were generally made of
feathers, and carried by slaves over the
heads of their masters and mistresses.
to protect them from the sun, or waved
about before them to stir the air.
Catherine de Medicis carried the first
folding fan ever seen in France; and in
the time of Louis the Fourteenth the
fan was gorgeous thing, often covered
with jewels, and worth small fortune.
In England they were the fashion in the
time of Henry the Eighth. All his many
wives carried them. A fan set in dia-
monds was once given to Queen Eliza
beth upon New Years Day.
The Mexican feather fans which Cor
tes had from Montezuma were marvels
of beauty; and in Spain a large black
fan is the favorite. It is said that the
use of fan is as carefully taught in that
country as any other branch of educa-
tion, and that by well-known code of
signals Spanish lady can carry on a
long conversation with any one, espe-
oially an admirer. - ~ $50
The Japanese criminal of rank is po-
litely executed by means of fan. On
being sentenced to death he is presented
with fan, which he must receive with
o low bow, and as he bows, prestol the
executiorer draws his sword, and cuts
his head of. In fact, there is a fan for
every occasion in Japan.-Harper's
