ERIN'S LAMENT a..
The following is published in the London
World as prize poem:

The following is published in the London
World as prize poem:
l saw In dream the sad angel Of Erin;
Her green robe hung loosly, so withered her form;
For her country she sighed, "a though almost de-
spairing
OF shelter and rest frsm the pitiisss storm.
Though the day-star of Hope, rising fair Ger the
ocean,
shons bright on the mist of her eyes sad DEVOTION
Yet scarcely her lips, In their trembling emotion,
Could whisper the anthem of Erin-go-bragh.
s'sad lie my fate" said the heart broken stranger
'The wild deer and fox shall be monarchs alone;
For, rscked by the tortures Of famine and danger,
To new houes and new countries my children have
flown.
Never again, when the hill tops are hoary
And the winter winds wall, shall they list to the
Which their fathers loved of their countrymen's
Nor join in the chorus of Erin.go-bragh.
Britannia, my sister, though sad and forssken,
In hope yet lineer about my rough shore;
Alas, has my anguish NO powr to awaken
Some pity to love, and some aid to restore7
happy land, only thou csn'st replace me
In . haven of peacel If thine arms shall embrace
Never again shall my children disgrace me,
Nor die at q distance, but live In my heart.
Now is the cabin door open and shattered.
Father and mother are weeping within;
Gone their kindred their friends are all scattered
Their children with famine are wasted and thin.
All, my sad heart, rs look on this sorrow,
Hopeless to-day and despairiug to- morrow,
How can dare any comfort to borrow
From dreams which the future may blast sad de-
stroy,
Yet all the thoughts of its anguish suppressing,
One only fond wish my sad heart can desire
That my sons bitter curses may change q blessing,
As faction shall langush and discord expire.
Now wild with distress Is my isle Of the ocean;
Then gladness shall swell my fond breast with
emotion,
And my children shall sing with new love and de-
votion,
Erin msvounreen, Erin-go-brsghr'

Help Yourself.

Bayard Taylor, from nothing became the
most famous foreign minister of the day; but
what he got under God, he achieved himself

a brave and grand thing it was for him to

ley was always doing something of that kind
more journalists have gone through Hor-
ace Greeley's pocket to livelihood and sue
cess than through any other one route. The
great New York editor saw in the green
country lad from Kennett Square mind
large enough to be minister plenipotentiary
to any country. 1t sometimes takes genius
to discover genius. As Mr.. Greeley looked
upon the young literary adventurer desiring
to see Europe and the world afoot, he re-
mem oered his own early days, when in home
spun dyed with butternut, he helped his
father, and when he landed in New York
with Sl0.75 in his pocket, asking only for
something to do. But for the most part Bay
ard Taylor helped himself. Yet how many

Harley was soap boiler. Esop was slave.
Homer was a beggar. Bayard Taylor was a
type-setter in village printing office. Take
your pick-axe and hew your own way through

a world full of obstacles, and grit to overcome
them. Trouble is the best hone on which to
sharpen razors.

About Advertising.

If you have goods to SELL advertise.
Hire man with lamp-black kettle and
brush to paint your name and number on
all the railroad fences. The cars go whiz-
zing by so fast that no one can read them, to
be sure, but perhaps the obliging conductor
would stop the train to accommodate an in
quisitive passenger.
Remember the fences by the roadside as
well. Nothing is SO attractive to the passer
by as we'll painted sign: "Millington's
medical mixture for mumps."
Have your card In the hotel register by all
means. Strangers stopping at hotels for q
night generally bay cigar or two before
they leave town, and they need some in
spiriting literary food besides.
If an advertising agent wants your bust
ness advertised in a fancy frame at the de-
pot, pay him about 200 per cent. more than
it is worth, and let him put it there. When
a man he's three quarters of a second In which
to catch train, he invariably stops to read
depot advertisements, and your card might
take his eye.
OF course the street thermometer dodge is
excellent. When a mans fingers and ears
are freezing. or he Is putting and "phewing"
at the heat, is the ii ne above all others when
he reads an advertisement.
Print in the blacklist ink in a great sprawl
ing card on all your wrapping paper. Ladies
returning from shopping tour like to be
walking bulletins, and if the ink rubs
off and spoils some of their fnery, no matter
They will never stop at your store again.
Have a few posters pasted all over town
mixed up with niger minstrel streamers and
theatrical bills they will appear very promi.
nent and attract about as much attention rs
black spot on a speckled dog.
Have thousands Of little dodgers printed
and hire few small boys to distribute them.
You've no idea how the junk dealer and pa
per-rag man will respect you.
Don't fail to advertise in every circus pro-
gramme. It will help the circus TO pay its
bills, and visitors can relieve the tedium Of
the clowns Jokes BY looking over your in.

teresting remarks about "20 per cent below
cost" etc.
A boy witt big placard on a poles an In
teresting object on the street, and lends q
dignifed air to your establishment. Hire
about two.
Advertise, a calendar. People never
look at a calendar to see what day of the
month it is. They merely glance hurriedly
at it so as to be sure that your name Is
spelled with or without p., that's all.
When the breezes blow, waited by pa
per fan in the hands of lovely women It's
well to have the air redolent with the per.
fume of the carmine ink in which your bust
ness address is printed This will make the
market for decent fans very good.
Patronize every agent that shows you an
advertising tablet. card, directory, dictionary
or even an advertising Bible if one is offered
at reasonable price. The man must make
living.
But don't think of advertising in a we'll
established, legitimate newspaper. Not for
a moment Your advertisement would be
nicely printed and would find its way into
all the thrifty households of the region,
where the farmer, the mechanic. the trades
men in other lines, and into the families of
the wealthy and refined, all who have articles
to buy and money with which to buy them,
and in the quiet of the evening, after the
news of the day had been digested, it would
be read and pondered, and the next day peo-
pie would come down to your store and pat
ronize you, and keep coming in increasing
numbers, and you might have to hire an ex-
ira clerk or two, move into larger block
and more favorable location, and do bigger
business, but of course 1t would be more ex-
pensive-and bring greater profits.

Chain shirts.
New York Times.l

The chain.mail vest which is said to have
saved General Meikoff from Vladetskis bull
let has for many generations past been a
common article of wear with the leading per
sonages of Europe, the most notable exam
piles being Oliver Cromwell, Gustavus, of
Sweden, the present car and Louis XVI.
In the middle ages the mail-coats were known
as "Milan shirts" and greatly esteemed for
the ineness of their workmanship. A fam
Gus Italian guerrilla, who went into the bat
tie Of Ravenna thus equipped, was found
dead with the links of his mail still unbroken,
though the bones beneath it were completely
shattered by the force of TIE death blow. A
'bullet-proof' vest of this kind was offered
by Spectator to the Duke of Wellington,
who got rid of him in very characteristic
fashion. Bidding the man put it on, he
called to the sentry outside to load with ball
cartridge and comeup at once; but the visitors
confidence In his invention did not appar-
emily extend to the testing of it in his own
person, for he took TO bis heel at once.

One OF the Salt OF the Earth.

A small tub of msckerel brine sat on the
walk at the side door of Merrills' grocery,
and Mr.. Merrills told his clerk to take it in
side in the evening, but the clerk had his
mind full of an entertainment in the Opera
House to which he was going to take new
girl, and neglected to remove the tub. Com
ing out of the show with the young lady,
to whom he was making himself particularly
vivacious, he was crowded to one side by the
Gerry, and stepped with one foot right into
that tub of brine. He went in half way to his
knee. and, as he wore low shoes with fine
colored stockings, the effect was as full and
rounded as it could possibly be. The mile
