THE FAME OF TIE CITY.

A great rich city of power and pride,
WIKI streets full Of traders aud ships on the tide
With rich men and workm- n, and judges and
preachers,
The shops u of Skill and the schools full of teachers.
The people were proud OF their opulent town;
The rich men spent millions TO bring ii renOwn;
The strong men built and the tradesnan planned,
The shipmen sailed to every land
The lawyers argued, the teachers taught,
And poor shy poet his verses brought,
And cast them into the splendid store.
The trailesman stared at his useless craft,
The rich men sneered, and the strong men laughed
The preachers said it was worthless quite,
The schOolmen claimed 1t was theirs to write.
But the songs were spared, though they added
naught
To the profit and praise the people sought
That was waited at last from distant chimes.
And the townsmen SAID, 90 To remotest times
We shall send our name and our greatness down."
The boast came true but the famous town
Had lesson to learn when all was told.
The nations that honored cared naught for its gold,
Its skill they exceeded hundredfola
1t had only been one of thousand more
Had the songs of the poet been lost to its store.
Then the rich men and tradesmen and schoolmen
said
They had never derided, but praised instead
And they boast OF the poet their town has bred

was some time before another person as
venturesome could be found, and the thea

drama called ''Garibaldi. At the first

A STREET CAR INCIDENT. amusing
incident occurred on a Cleveland street
car the other day. A woman of fifty,
made up to look about twenty-five years
old, got aboard at crossing, to find every
seat occupied. She stood for moment,
and then selecting poorly-dressed man
about forty-fve years of age, she observed /:
% Are there any gentlemen on the car %
Indeed, I dunno" he replied, as he
looked up and down, If there hain't,
and you are going clear through, I'll hunt
up one for you at the end of the line. p"
There was an embarrassing silence for a
moment, and then light broke in on
HIM all of a sudden, and he rose and said /:
{. You can have this seat, madam. l am
allus perfectly willing to stand up and give
nay seat to anybody older than myself. "
That decided her. She gave him a look
which he will not forget to his dying day,
and grabbing the strap, she refused to sit
down, even when five seats had become va
cant.

1t IS especially encouraging to one
who can command but few external
advantages to reflect that he is by
no means dependent upon them for
his success in life. 1t is true that
the best results may be expected
where strong self-energy comes
under instruction and wise guidance;
but while the latter alone can do
nothing, the former alone can do
much. Besides, it is never quite
alone. Capacity and industry al
ways find appreciation and help, and
they are apt to make themselves all
the more useful for their scarcity.
