WHY DO 1 sING1
~ MRS. LOU 8. BKpTonA

Why do sing7 IT'S hard TO tel
why Joyous notes my bosom swell;
WIN strains Of music, wild and FREQ,
Gnsh forth In tuneful harmony,
When, underneath thin Disguise
A Borrowing heart 80 often lies.
I sine-the siren voice OF song
Bears my enchanted soul along
The stream Of time TO that blest shore
Where mortal cares are felt no moro;
And heaven itself were not complete
without the round Of music sweet.
WHY do I smile7 Why, mirrored hers,
On brows 20 used to pain and care,
Are gentle smiles that softly chase
Each other DER o care-worn face?
The heart o'crcast with grief the while
And yet-'mid unshed tears l smile.
smile, because to nature true;
Like CLEANS Of sunshine breaking through
The rifted clouds, when storms are past;
Though soft white clouds still overcast
The azure sky, to cheer the scene
Bright rays Of sunlight burst between.
Why do weep7 Alas! these tears
Cannot efface the stains of years;
TITS grace alone can save, know,
And yet, It's well TO let them flow;
They soothe the griefs Of life's dark hours,
Az sunlight smiles through April showers.
And then It's written, "Jesus wept,"
Above the grave Of one that slept,
While friends and loved ones gathered round
With poftened tread the new-made mound;
That when thus pressed with grief and cares,
He found sweet relief In tears.

A recently-arrived foreigner stopped at
one of our hotels, and ut the supper
table began to play fearful havoc with a
plate of hard-boiled eggs, scooping out
the yolk and leaving the white I'M

tenth one, the waiter demonstrated with
him, calling his attention to his wasteful-
ness. GOOD gracious, man," he re-
marked, "you would not have me eat ten

Something New In Roses.

A Hartford young man boarded a
horse-car the other day with bunch Of
three roses. One was white, one green,
and one of delicate flesh colored tint.
These flowers attracted the attention of
the passengers, both ladies and gentle
men. One lady remarked that she had
seen the buds of the green rose, and an
other said she had seen the rose itself,
but had never seen any so perfect and so
lovely as this one. The flesh colored one
was also commented on and praised.
Finally the young man volunteered the
information that all were white in the
morning, and that the coloring was done
by putting the stem of one into green
ink and the other into red ink. Although
the leaves were beautifully colored the
coloring would not rub off, but it seemed
as if Nature had done the work. 1t only
required ten minutes to change the
color. Hartford COurdnt.

Charles A. Hill, ESQ.,, attorney-at-law,
is just now m occupant Of Cell 80 in the
City Jail, and with the cheerful prospect
before him of ten years in the peniten-
tiary. He is the most notable capture
which the United States detectives have
made since the Biebusch case, and the
arrest has caused great deal of excite
ment throughout the town. In yester-
days Post Dispatch the details of the
collar were given, and within the last
twenty-four hours quite number OF new
facts have developed, enough to make
conviction certainty. Mr.. Hill has
been in the habit of clipping one and
two-dollar greenback bills in such way
that out Of each nine he makes ten. The
process is rather n complicated one, and
needs diagrams for thorough comprehen-
sion

A DRAG, driven by an elegant attired
