OFFICES MuLER had his hands full
yesterday. The first thing TO attract
his attention was two boys fighting on
Alley Is. between Eofi and Jacob streets.
The boys were pounding each other
vigorously When Miller lit on them, and
after giving them lecture on the wick
eineSs OF their ways, took them TO their
parents, who used the paternsl slipper
on the respective pOsteriors with good
eject. The names OF the lads were Full
ton and Beam. Miller is determined
to break up this fighting at all hazards.
Later in the day he pulled in John
Thomas for fighting party named Ba-
ker, in Alley Is. Last evening Miller
finished up the dav by finding an indi-

A Word About Marriage.

A physician writes the following SEN
sible advice: Ny profession has thrown
me among women of all classes, and ex-
perience teaches me that God never
gave man greater proof of His love
than to place woman here with him. Ny
advice is: Go and propose to the most
sensible girl You know of. # she says
yes, tell her how much your income is,
from what source derived, and tell her
you will divide the last dollar with her,
and love her with all your heart in The
bargain; then keep your promise. Ny
word for it that she will live within
your income, and to your last hour you
will regret that you did not marry
sooner. Gentlemen, cont worry about
feminine untruth. Just you be true to
her, love her sincerely and tell it
to her frequently, and more fond,
faithful, foolish slave you will never
meet anywhere. You won't deserve
her, I know, but she will never sec it:
Now, throw aside pride and selfshness,
and see what will come Of it.

The WOrsted Church.

g! The Worsted Church of Canterbury.
N. a., in the interior, is q mosaic a
needlework of vines, flowers and
decorations of worsted, in all colors
and designs. Few persons would be-.
ieve that such charming effects could
be produced with such material.
Crocheted lambrequins cover the cur
tains at each window, and baskets filed
with zephyr wool flowers hang from the
center. Harps, crosses, anchors,
wreaths of flowers, and festoons OF
vines, are placed between large tablets
of artistic designs, gracing the walls
like ancient tapestry, and inscribed
with scriptural selections. These tab
let's and inscriptions are composed Of
various colored crimped tissue papers,
upon background of cloth. The 1et-
tering is well executed, and no two in
scriptions are in the same character.
An immense ornament of flowers and
drapery is suspended from the center
Of the ceiling, with two large arches Of
flowers spanning the interior of tho
church. The flowers look so fresh that
the beholder is almost tempted TO
pluck regal lily, blushing rose, q
radiant dahia, modest forget me-not
or the lily of the valley with it's fairy

The sexton had called at an old tene-
ment house on Lafayette Street east, to
take body to a pauper's field the body
Of one whose life had been worn out in
the treadmill of hunger and despair. No
body knew that the mother was dead
hardly suspected that she was ill, until
one morning the child appeared at
neighbours door and quietly said:
"Would you be afraid to come over to
my house. for ma is dead, and I'm keep
ing awful still, and I'm afaid to talk to
her when she won't answer sRa 81
The mother had been dead for hours.
Long enough before day came the flame
of life had burned low and died out, and
that child, hardly seven years old, had
been with the corpse through the long
hours, clasping the cold hand, kissing
the white face, and calling for life to re-
turn. When they asked if she had any
friends, she shook her head. When they
told her she was alone in the great world
she looked out of the old window on the
bleak November day, and answered:
81 can make three kinds of dresses for
doll babies, build fires and carry in wood,
and I'll work ever 80 hard if somebody
will let me live with them!"
There was no funeral. There was no
need of q sermon there. The lines of sor-
row around the dead woman's mouth
counted for more in heaven than any
eulogy man could deliver. There was
no Grape. In place OF it three or four
honest hearted women let their tears fall
upon the white face, and whispered:
"Poor mother-poor chlldv'
The chllds big eyes were full of tears,
but there was hardly tremor in her
voice as she nestled her warm cheek
against the lips stilled forever, and said
"Good-by, ma-you'll come down from
heaven every night at dark, won't you,
and you'll take me up there just as soon
as you can, won't you?"
The landlord locked up the house and
the child went home with one OF the
women. When night came she stole out
to the house, and sat down on the door
step, having no company but the dark
ness. An officer passed that way and,
leaning over the gate, he peered through
the darkness at something on the. steps,
and called cut.

A Bafned Parent.

There is baf1ed old man in Williams
port, Pa, and he is disguised. too. It
seems that he learned that his daughter
intended to elope upon q certain even
ing with lover upon whose suit he
frowned. So he locked his child up in
her room. and sat down stairs listening
for the sound of the lovers carriage
wheels. s''. -. s
But that disgraceful young man tied
rags around tho tires of his sulky, so as
to muffle the noise, and he drove softly
up to the back gate. He then sent q
boisterous, rickety hack around to the
front, and engaged the man to make as
much racket as he could for the money.
When the Infatuated father heard it
he rushed out with q shot gun, Just in
time to see female figure Jump into
the hack and drive of. He fred two
rounds of buckshot at the concern,
rushed out and got his horse, and start
ed in pursuit. E
Meanwhile the insidious outcast who
loved his daughter persuaded her to
slide down the ightning:rod, and then
fed away with her in an opposite di-
rection from that in which the enraged
parent had gone.
The bereaved old man had caught up
with the hack about eighteen miles out
of town, and he not only shot the driver,
but he burst the door open and dragged
forth-s man, dressed in a waterproof
cloak.
The father was Immediately arrested
for highway robbery and assault and
battery with intent to kill, and the pros
ecutors say they will press the suit
unless he comes down with q handsome
dover for his daughter, and then gives
the couple his paternal blessing.
There is no use of trying to explain
the mental condition of this old man.
The English is copious and vigorous,
and all that; but it fails utterly in these
extreme cases.

A SHADOW IN THE VALLEY.
There's a shadow in the valley
lslls. o.1-~-

There's a shadow in the valley
Where the lilies lie asleep.
Where The laughing waters murmur,
And the sweet flags droop and weep.
There'a shadow in the valley,
And sigh floats in the air,
Like the breath sf angels resting
Ore the fair scene mirrored there.
Such shadow in the valley
Brings burden 10 my heart;
Cannot you, too, understand it?
Have you never felt it's smart?
have watched the lilies lying
! have seen the sweet flags weep,
And have wished that I, when dying,
Might be laid with them to sleep.
I have heard the breezes murmur
Low, soft songs within this vale;
] have seen the ackbird hover
Der the lilies fair and pale,
I have seen ray of sunlight
Linger 'mong the reeds at play;
But the silent, creeping shadow
Chased the merry sprite away.
Like the human heart, o'ershadowed
By sorrow swift and deep,
Lie the sweet flags and the lilies
In the shadowy vale asleep.
There's a melancholy sweetness
In the perfume. laden air,
And the tall reeds seem to whisper,
you'll find sorrow everywhere"
