GRAPE ON THE DOOR.

''Some one has gone from this strange world OF
ours,
No more to gather its thorns with i's flowers,
No more to linger where sunbeams must fade,
Where on all beauty Deaths fingers are laid"
"There's Grape ON the door !"
A mother going by with her darling
involuntarily tightens her grasp OF the
little hand, as she sees the banner OF
death furled so near, and the boy feels
the pressure and says:
"What is it mamma? ?"
"Some one is dead, Willie !"
':What does dead mean ?"
The mother locks about her for an
answer to the cllilds question.
SIT means-it means-why, Willie,
you remember when your little sister
died, and was cold and we buried heI
under the grass"
"And then?" queried the child.
"Then she went to Heaven"
"Where is Heaven?"
cit is where God is" my dear"
"Mamma, who made God 2"
Poor child his thoughtless questions
get no more satisfactory answers than
our researches into an older theology
over which we so vainly agonize, and
he must remain contented with his lim-
tied knowledge that some one is dead
and it is the custom to put Grape on the
door-a custom beautiful in itself, int
nitely beautiful if we look upon the
insignia as one of hope and glad acqui.
escence IN a summons to rest.
"Some one is resting from sorrow and sin,
Happy where earth's conflicts enter not in;
One more departed 10 Heavens bright shore;
Ring the bell softly, there's Grape on the door.
We do not clap our hands and CRY
jcyously, "It is the banner of immor-
tality T. MOI We start and walk with
slow step and bated breath, as the very
wave of Grape meets our eyes, and We
shudder instinctively in the bright sun
shine. The green leaves are coming,
the flowers will bloom, the birds will
sing, and the heart throb with the full.
ness of lie.
''Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the north winds breath,
And stars 10 set-but all
Thou hast all seasons, for thine own, o Death y
Custom has decreed that we shall thus
inform the passer-by that death is pres
ent, and the solemn badge of the shad-
owy ambassador guards the portal from
oil idle intrusion. No social visits are
paid to the house that shows that en-
sign; nor do people linger idle in the
vicinity of the house that is thus SET
apart from its neighbors.
The sombre fall of black Grape on the
door assures us that one of mature years
has ''passed over" but for young per-
son or little child, white-the emblem
of purity-is used, but it tells the same
sad story:
''Weary with mingling life's bitter and sweet,
Weary with parting and never to meet.
Some one has gone to the bright golden shore.
Ring the bell softly, there's Grape on the door. y

A Western Hero.

People who are on the watch to secure
material for great moral shows should
hardly neglect "Buckshot Bill" Ac-
cording to the frontier papers, this gen.
tleman, pupil of Kit Carson and "Buf-
falo Bill" speaks twenty-five Indian
tongues once saw eleven of his COM
rades burned alive by the Comapches
signed with his blood before a magistrate
VOW to have the scalps Of eleven
Indians who killed his brother and stole
his diamond pin; pursued these Indians
with one comrade, and killed six; and
now has lit scalps hanging in the
Smithsonian Institute in Washington,
which were taken with his own hands.
"Buckshot Bill" is scout, and the ve-
racity of army scouts is we'll known.
The modern drama seeks such men, as
the careers of Buffalo Bill" and ''Texas
Jack" bear witness. Still, perhaps
'Buckshot Bill could not be secured
until he has scalped those other five
Indians who took the diamond pin and
killed his brother.

The Elgin Disaster.

The disaster on the Fox River at e.
gin, ILL.,, on Thursday, was of an appal-
ling character. The recent flood has
done great pecuniary damage in this
vicinity, and among the items Of
destruction caused by it was one which
has occasioned very great inconvenience
-namely, the washing away of the
bridge across the Fox River, between
East and West Elgin, which was daily
traversed by great crowds of school
children and operatives III the factories
across the river from here. The City
Council promptly ordered a temporary
ferry to be established, and a small
scow was rugged to q wire cable and
made its first trip Wednesday evening,
amid the jeers of an assembled crowd,
who doubted its adequacy for the pur-
pose. On its second trip Thursday
morning, when overloaded and nearly
buried to its edges in the whirling
stream, still swelled by brooks and
flooded meadows, the scow yielded to a
strong wave, and " ith its living freight
of thirty men and children was over
turned in midstream and the whole
number were instantly precipitated into
the mad current and carried down the
river, uttering piercing shrieks and
making the wild outcries peculiar to
drowning persons.
Those on the bank who witnessed the
horrible sight set about rescuing those
who kept their heads above water
Some daring acts of bravery occurred in
this connection, and more persons were
picked up and drawn ashore by means
of ropes than could seem possible. Six
teen persons are known 10 have been
saved; ten are missing and four are
known to be drowned. Most of those
drowned were school children.
The boat was crossing the river from
the west side, and when nearly two
thirds of the way over began to food
with water. The passengers, in conster-
nation, Immediately flocked to the dry
part of the boat, clingipg to the railing,
which gave way, precipitating many of
them into the river. AS the water
poured into the boat she soon sank be-
low the surface, leaving thirty people
battling for life in the angry current
The water at this point is fully fifteen
feet deep, and the current at least six
miles per hour. Much indignation is
felt against both the City Council and
the builders of the boat for employing
such miserable makeshift as a ferry
boat.

Success.

How eagerly we listen to all that is
told of successful men; what mystery
surrounds great firms, Why are they
the sure road to prosperity ;-how dis
appointed we are to find there is no
royal road, no short and easy way, and
that success during long term of years,
Instead of being the result of brilliant
schemes, is due to hard work, persistent
and painstaking effort, vigilant atten-
tion to the little things, thoroughness
in all. And how well it is illustrated
by this glimpse of the inner workings of
a great house:
Toward customers be invariably
polite and attentive, whether they be
agreeable or disagreeable, fair or unfair,
considerate or exacting, without any
regard to their class or condition, un-
less indeed you be the more obliging
and serviceable to the humble and ig-
norapt. The more self-forgetting you
are and the more acceptable you are to
whomsoever your customer may be,
the better you are as a salesman i; it is
your highest duty to be agreeable to all.
Show goods freely to all corners; be
painstaking to match samples be as
serviceable as you can be to all, whether
buyers or not. At the outset you have
to guess what grade of goods she wants,
high priced or low-priced; if you do
not guess correctly be quick to discover
your error and right yourself instantly.
1t is impertinent to insist on showing
goods not wanted it is delicately polite
to get to exactly what is wanted adroitly
and on the slightest hint. Do not try
to change your buyers choice except to
this extent: always use your knowledge
of goods to her advantage if she wavers
or indicates desire for your advice.
What we want sold is the precise article
which she wants to buy. In speaking
of goods use correct names, say what
they are made of if you have occasion /;
if you do not know and caunot find out,
say so; sell nothing on a misunderstand-
ing if you know it exists; make no prom
ises that you have any doubt of the full
fillment of and, having made promise,
do more than your own share towards
its fulfillment; see that the next after
you does his share if you can. From

"TO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN"
THREE FISHERS.

THREE FISHERS.
Three fishers went strolling away to the
stream,
To the babbling brook where the fishes
swim.
or speckled beauties they az; did dream,
And each felt certain they'd bite for binI.
For men Will tramp from morning till night,
And suffer the fierce mosquitoes bite,
And drink 10 stop their groaning.
Three fishers strolled into the market place,
Twas some two hours after the sun went
down.
And look of gloom was on each mans face,
For at empty baskets they each did frown,
For men may fish, but may get no bite,
And tired and ugly go home at night,
And vent their wrath in groaning.
Three fishers strolled into the beer saloon,
Where the crowd sat round and the gas
was bright,
And each gaily whistled merry tune,
And showed his fish with assumed delight,
For men will fish, yea, and men will lie,
And boast of catching the fish they buy,
While inwardly they're groaning.
