Thomas a Kempis: God walks

Bossuet: It requires mole faith

three thousand persons ready to
listen to everything on condition
of forgetting it all.

TAKEN CARE OF.
A Poor Orphan Boy Neglected by
Inhuman People is Gath
cred In.

A few days ago, says the Detroit
Free Press, boy about ten years
of age, lame and slckly, who had
been living with his mother in
rooms in the city found himself
alone in the world. The lad was
too i'll to ride in the one poor car
riage which followed the body to
the grave, yet no one thought his
condition serious. After the funer-
al a number of persons gathered Ia
the poverty stricken room where
he lay weeping, to see what dlspo-
sition could be made OF him.
"If he wasn't lame I'd take him
into my family" observed one OF
the men, in tone that seemed to
show he blamed tho boy for his
misfOrtunes.
"Well it's awful hard" sighed
one of the women, "but l know he
couldn't get along with my chill
dren"
"Nor with mine," added sec
ond.
"If 1 should take him, he'd run
up big doctors bill on me-" said
a man as he filed up his pipe.
Each and every one had some ex
cuse. The boy heard them ali
without a word, but with quIver-
ing chin and eyes full of tears.
Under one preteXt and another all
slipped out and left him alone,
promising to have another talk in
morning. Perhaps that night, be
fore they closed their eyes in sleep.
some of them thought OF the poor
lad lying in the dreary room.
alone and almost helpless, but if
so. none of them went near him.
Late in the morning a woman liv
ing on the same floor went in TO see
If he might not want a bite to eat,
and the question of who should
take care of him was settled. God
had taken him. Rugged close to
the wall, as if he feared the mid
night shadows, and with eyelids
yet wet, he was dead and cold, no
longer a burden to any one
The boy, to lame too be taken care
of on earth, too feeble to learn To
earn the crusts that some one
could give him, had home better
than the best. When they knew
that he died alone, women bent
over him and wept. When they
lifted his wasted body from the bed,
mems consciences smote them for
their harsh words, but it was too
late. He had gone from earth feel
ing that there was no mercy in the
human heart.

Hancock.

Gloucester County Democrat.
General Sherman has my permission
to publish anything ever sent him
over my signature in reference to the
electoral commission and Mr.. Tilden,
or any other matter of interest to the
people at the present day."-[W. S.
Hancock.
Could any man, a candidate for any
office in the gift of the people, re more
candid?
Can any voter, be he democrat or re-
publican, ask more of a nominee who
is before him for his suffrage?
Nothing to conceal, nothing 10 ex-
tenuate, nothing to amend, but willing
TO stand by his past record.
That is manly.
That is honest.
That proves him to be what has been
asserted OF him-that he always was
trHe and faithful TO the great principles
of American liberty.
We like such candor.
We like such outspoken confession OF
a willingness to stand by his psss re-
cord.
We like the man who has nothing in
his past to conceal from the people.
1t recommends him to the voter as no
other expression can recommend any
man.

irish poplin.

A beautiful and interesting Irish
manufacture is dropping into pre-
mature decay simply on account Of
the want Of patronage and encour
agement that it receives at home.
The Irish ladies will not wear pop
lin. This is the explanation Irish~
men render themselves, and, indeed,
no other is required, of the present
poverty stricken condition Of the
home poplin trade. Many reasons
are assigned for the decay OF stag
nation OF other Irish Industries,
few. if any, of which can bo said TO
affect the poplin manufacture. IL
cannot be because Goals are scarce
and dear--a common excuse for the
failure OF other Irish manufactures
that it makes so little way, for IL
wants no artificial motive power
whatever. All the work OF the
Dublin weavers, which requires a
most delicate touch and attention,
is done by hand looms; and then IL
suffers from no outside competition
whatever. The Irish poplin manu-
factures stand alone. IL is the only
dress material in Ireland, and pre-
cisely the same thing Is not made
anywhere else. Since the industry
was FIRST practioed 10 Ireland at the
commencement of last century, by
French silk weRyers who had for
stken their own country at the rev
ocation Of the Edict of Nantes, it
has never found a rival.

is the present Senator, the father

A Teleph one Experiment.

The telephone has furnished cap
ital for many good story. The
following true incident is the latest
A Sweed employed by the Portland
Stoneware Company was working
about the company's yard, Satur-
day, when he came across a piece
of telephone wire, which caught
his fancy at once. The.young man
picked the wire up and with much
pains Strengthened out the kinks,
after which he looked carefully
around to see that no one was
watching him. Being satisfied
that he was .unperceived the ver-
dant youth placed one end of the
wire in his mouth and gave a loud
hollo, then with a quick motion he
clapped the other END to his ear.
The expression on the youths face
as he remained in that position
begged description. First, a look
of expectancy fitted over his visage,
followed by one Of dismay; then
with look Of disgust be threw the
wire away. with a mnttered curse
because it could not understand a
Sweed.

Queen Victoria is reported to have
expressed a desire that the ladies
who appear at the royal receptions
shall put upon themselves a little
more clothing than they are in che
habit of using, especially about the
shoulders and breast. The Queen
was always correct in her notions Of
dress, although she appeared in her
night dress to the gentlemen who
came at 2 A. n. to announce TO her
the death of William Nv. and her
own accession to the crown in 1897.
This was an extraordinary occasion,
and the Queen did not desire TO
keep the messengers waiting, so
she threw a shawl about her person
and went into the parlor with q
just-waked-up look. Her costume
on that occasion was picturesque
Throughout her long reign she has
always been very particular about
the proprieties OF dress and sensi-
tive TO any violation Of decorum.

Six downy chickens
Standing in row,
Homeless little orphans,
Knew not where to go.
Who had killed their mother?
That | cannot say;
But ! know they found herr
At five O'Clock that day.
"Peepl.' said the Oldest,

And TO wake their mother
All in vain they tried.
SUSIE heard them calling,
Ran to ask them why,
And her eyes that moment
Made their own reply.
Tender-hearted Susie
Tried to hide a tear;
Saw her mothers ternery
Standing empty near;
In it placed the chickens,
And above them spread
A nice, soft feather duster,
When they went to bed.

Fast asleep and warm,
Underneath the feathers,
Safe from every harm.
There each night they brooded,
Until almost grown;
Twas the queerest mother
