SHOULD DIE Te.NIGHr.


Ii should die tonight
My friends would look upon my quiet face
Before they laid 1t in its resting place,
And deem that death had left 1t almost fair;
And, laying Snowwhite flowers against my hair,
Would smooth 1t down with fearful tenderness,
And fold my hands with lingering caress.
Poor hands, so empty and 50 cold Tonight
If should die tonight
NA,srslds would call to mind, with loving thought
Some kindly deed the Icy hand had wrought,
Some gentle; word'the frozen lips had said,
Errands on which the willing feet had sped;,.s-xa
The memory of my selhshness and PRIDE
My hasty words, would all be put aside
And so should be loved and mourned tonight.
II should die tonight
Even hearts estranged would turn once more to me
Recalling other days remorsefully.
The eyes that chill me with averted glance
Would look upon me as Of yore perchance,
And soften in the old familiar way
For who could war with dumb, Unconscious clay?
So might rest, forgiven Of all, tonight
Oh, friends, pray tonight
Keep not your kisses for my dead, cold brow
The way is lonely, let me feel them now.
Think gently of me- l am travel-worn;
My faltering feet are pierced with many a thorn.
Forgive oh, hearts estranged, forgive, Ipleadl
When dreamless rest is mine shall not need
The tenderness for which long tonight.

Strikes by street Car drivers and conductors
are. becoming general in all the large cities OF
the. country. Thus far Chicago, Cincinnati
st. Louis and New York have been visited by
thesemoyements, which in nearly every case has
been successful and which have as a rule COM
manded popular support although they have
been the cause of No little public discomfort
Probably there is no worse paid or harder
worked class Of employees in existence than
the drivers and conductors of street railroads,
aud the strikes they have inaugurated will
serve good purpose if they result in nothing
more tangible than in calling attention to theil
hours Of labor, their meagre pay, and to the
conditions under which they are compelled tc
serve. Last winter in Philadelphia the invt s.
legations of philanthropic lady, which result
ed in the organization OF society which now
looks after the comfort of these men and the
care OF their families during sickness, showed
that they were often on continuous duty fol
| sixteen hours, that they were compelled tc
disregard every law of health, and that in the
depots there was less provision for their healtl
and well being than there was for the dumb
animals employed by the companies.

people. Judging by the execution, the supreme
power has elected to appeal to the hangman. So be

declares that reactionary policy will lead to con-
