Poems Of the Week.

Poems Of the Week.
SUNDAY.
Lie still and rest, in that serene repose
That on this holy morning comes 10 those
Who have been buried with the cares tha
make
The sad heart weary and the tired heart ache
Lie sdll and rest
Gods day OF all is best.
MONDAY.
Awake! arise! Cast off thy drowsy dreams
Red in the east, behold the morning CLEANS.
" As Monday goes, so goes the week." dame,
say.
Refreshed, relieved, use well the initial day;
And see! thy neighbor
Already seeks his labor.
TUESDAY.
Another mornings banners are unfurled-
Another day looks smiling on the world;
1t beholds new laurels for thy soul to win;
Mar not its grace by slothfulness or sin,
Nor sad, away
Send it to yesterday.
WEDNESDAY.
Hallway unto the end-the weeks high noon
The morning hours do speed away so soon!
And when the noon is reached, however
bright,
Instinctively we look toward the night.
The glow is lost
Onca tho D,ar;1;ar o,on.
THURSDAY.
So well the week has sped, hast thou friend
30 spend an hour in converse. 1t will lend
New beauty to thy labors and thy life
To pause little sometimes in the strife,
Toll soon seems rude
That has no interlude.
FRIDAY.
From ieasts abstain; be temperate, and pray ;
Fast if thou wilt; and yet, throughout the
day,
Neglect no labor and no duty shirk;
Not many hours ale lett thee for thy work
And it were meet
Tnat all should be complete.
SATURDAY.
Now with the almost finished task make
haste;
So near the night, thou hast no time to waste.
Post up accounts, and let thy souls eyes look
For flaws and errors in liies ledger-book
When labors cease,
How sweet the sense OF peace!
Ella Wheeler, in Chicago Tribune.

Shocking Cruelty to Children.

Christian Schaeffer has been sent to
Jail in Philadelphia for almost starving
his two children. The story came out
through the attempt of Josephine Chris
tian, aged fourteen, to end her life by
jumping into the Delaware river. She
was rescued bya passing boat. Schaeffer
is a miserly, repulsive man of thirty
five. He has lived for several years with
his two daughters in a dilapidated little
shanty in Salmon street, not far from the
Bridesburg arsenal. Dirt, inches thick,
carpeted the floor. The only ventilation
was from door and window, three
of whose panes were stuffed with old
rags. They had no visitors or friends,
for the father allowed no intercourse
whatever with the neighbors. They
never went to school or to church. The
mans only means of livelihood was
catching stray dogs, which he would
kill and boil and render the fat. He
compelled his children to live on the
meat of the dogs he caught. From their
infancy he had taught them to use the
fat for butter, and they do not know the
taste of real butter. He made consider
able money from selling the dogs bones
and skins, but never spent cent ex-
cept for rags to cover his children's
backs or to protect them from the cold
when all three lay down Mt night in the
one miserable bed made ofrough boards.
At meal time their dog meat was poked
out of an old iron boiler and they sat on
boxes to eat it, The girls often contem-
plated suicide. They were put in the
hands of the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children.

A Deprayed Small BOy,

A fearful example of criminal pre-
cocity is afforded by case which re-
Gently came before the assize court OF
st. Peter, in Martinique. A boy named
Emilien Dema, aged eleven, was accused
of deliberately numbering Paul Sarpon,
child of three and half years. The
following extracts from Dema's exami-
nation will show the horrifying cold
bloodedness with which he admitted
the commission of the crime. On being
asked how he despatched his victim he
answered: Il killed him Intentionally.
I got him to come and play with me.
He followed me and we played together
at first, and then l led him near the ed ge
of a cliff, and pushed him over. next
jumped down after him, beat and kicked
him, bit him in the neck and finished
him off with stone" Wishing, as he
said, to assure himself of having really
" finished off" Sarpon, Ghis young mon
stcr stated that he then dragged the
body into pool of water and effectually
prevented any return of life by placing
a heavy stone on the head. The presi-
dent of the court inquired of Dena why
he had taken the child's life, to which he
replied: Because l hated him for hav-
ing me punished by my mother" On a
question being put as TO whether he felt
no regret or pity on seeing the murdered
boy struggling in the agonies of death,
the prisoner, who seemed greatly sur
prised at such query, answered decid-
edly, NO" and added, on being fur
ther interrogated, that not even the fear
of the police would have deferred him,
as his desire was to "kill Paul" The
child criminal, who had given his evil
dence throughout most impassively,
displayed no feeling of any kind on being
sentenced to the maximum punishment
of twenty years. imprisonment in a
house of correction. -GGltgnG'tTS Mes

Thirty-FOur Years i'm Jail.

An official record, recently published,
of the leading incidents in the nefarious
career of one Mr.. Anthony Matek, an
Austrian thief Of considerable renown
in the Cisleithan provinces of the Dual
Realm, is not uninstructive. This per-
severing but unfortunate pilferer has
Just attained the ripe age of sixty-eight,
thirty four years and eight months of
his existence having been spent in one
or another imperial Jail, while the
monotony of his solitary confinement
has been relieved at different times by
his receiving $1,000 stripes with rods and
$40 blows with sticks. These latter
castigaticns were impaired to him dur
ing his term of army service. Military
regulations opposed themselves, il
seems, in violent and arbitrary manner
to his confirmed habit of seeking uncon-
sidered trifies in his comrades pockets I;
and vengeful martinets, deaf to his plea
that "congenial eccentricity covers a
multitude OF sins" decreed no fewer
than six several times that he should
run the gauntlet" The fact that he
has survived those terrible ordeals bears
convincing testimony to the vieor of his
constitution. The value of the articles

register of his adventures and mishaps
as not amounting in all to 300 forins, or
less than $3.50. His last sentence but
one--eight years. Imprisonment with
hard labor, which he had worked out
only few weeks ago-was incurred for
the annexation of the Austrian equiva-
lent to eighty cents. No sooner was he
free than he publicly relieved lady of
her purse, containing sixty cents. For
this imprudent feat he has just been
condemned to another six years of penal
servitude, making up total ia of forty
years and eight months laborious seclu-
sion for the acquisition of an amount
representing an income for that period
of about 49, rs per annum! The strictest
honesty could hardly have paid him
worse.

Words Of Wisdom.

When a man is wrong and won't ad-
NIT it, he always gets angry.
The best part of beauty is that which
picture cannot express.
Art must anchor in nature, or it is
the sport of every breath of folly.
Conscience is the voice of the soul
the passions are the voice of the body.
All other knowledge is hurtful to him
who has not honesty and good nature.
A merry heart doeth good like medi-
cine, but a broken spirit drieth the
bones.
Let no man presume to give advice to
Others that has not given good counsel
to himself.
Beauty and death make each other
seem purer and lovelier, like snow and
moonlight.

Come, sing that song loved, love,
When all life seemed one song;
For am stricken now, love,
My strong arm is not strong.
Then sing the song loved, love,
You know that one sweet song.
Aye, sing that one sweet song, love;
Love, just that one sweet song.
For life is none too long, love-
Oh, love is none too long.

But, when above my grave, love,
Next year the grass grows strong,
Then sing that song loved, love;
Love, just one little song.
No tears or sable garb, love;
No sighs to break your song.
But when they bid you sing, love,
And thrill the joyous throng,
Then sing the song loved, love;
Love, just one little song.
