were well represented among the two

At each station we added TO our pas

Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe road, we
had such crowd forthe three coaches that
passengers had to be put in the baggage

in the passenger cars.

A Strange Accumulation.

Thomas Dick puts the boarding of
wealth in this striking way
Suppose man could lay up stock of
clothes and provisions sufficient to last
him for 800 years, what would it avail
him, since he can live at most but from
seventy to 100 years? Suppose he laid
up in store-house 70, 900 pairs of shoes,
to what end would it serve, if he could
make use, during his whole life, of only
the one-hundredth part of them? He
would be il the same condition as man
who had 100 dishes placed before
him at dinner, but who could partake of
only one; or of person who had 100
mansions purchased for his residence,
but could occupy only one. How ridicu-
lous it would appear if all that could be
said of man while yet he lived was
simply this-that his whole life had been
spent in collecting and laying up in
$4,000 mahogany chairs
which were never intended to be used
for the furniture Of apartments, or TO-
600 pairs of trousers which were. never
to be worn And where is the difference,
in point of nationality and utility, be-
tween such absurd practices and hoard
ing thousands Of guineas and bank notes
which are never brought forth for the
benefit of mankind There is no conduct
with the pursuits of human
beings that appears more absurd than
such practices however commonly if ex-
amined by the dictates of reason.

and before / could get her out of the
cage to relieve her she had choked to
death!
We took her out, but she was past
help and after many expressions of
sorrow for her untimely death, we
laid her back in her little nest.
We thought Jennie's husband would
mourn sadly for her, but with the ex-
ception of an occasional hop up to the
nest, and quizzical look at her over
his spectacleS, as much as to say ' Are
you really dead ?" he scarcely noticed
her, and before the day was over was
singing as gayly as ever. Grandma
said he was the jolliest widower she
ever saw.
The next to be thought of was the
birds funeral. 1 did not know
whether Me was sorry for what she
had said about being tired of the birds
or not, but I remember she made
active preparations for the burial.
First the blue ribbon bow on the
top of the cage, and the one at the
door were replaced with black; next
match box was brought into use,
lined with white tissue paper and a
tissue paper pillow was prepared, on
which the little birds head was laid
for it's last rest. Some,wee little gera-
MUM leaves were found to lay around
its head and it was pronounced fit for
burial. p.
Kit, Mic and Will were soon dressed
in deep mourning from the tip of their
long trailing waterproof cloaks to the
newspaper they carried for mourning
badges, and slowly we wended our
way to the evergreen tree under
whose friendly shade our pet has been
buried.
When our pretty kitty died grandpa
had sung at its funeral:
HE has foug ht his last fight,
He has won his last battle,
No sound can awake him to glory again"
but we could think of nothing so fit
ting on this occasion, and were afraid
our bird would have to be buried with
no last words.
We had neglected to dig the grave
before, and were busy with little sticks
trying to remove the sod, when grand
pa passed with hoe, ON his way to the
garden. We told him our troubles.
He stopped and dug the grave; then
stopped to sprinkle little dust on the
coffin, repeating slowly, ''Dust to
dust, and ashes to ashes.'' Then we
planted wild rose-bush to mark the
place, and left the little bird to it's
last sleep!
Jennie's grave is still left undis-
turbed, although this little funeral |
took place some fifteen years ago!
