NEWSPAPER MEMS TRIALs.-One of
the great trials of the newspaper profess
sion is, that its members are compelled to
see more of the shame of the world than
any other profession. Through every
newspaper Office. day after day 60 all
the weakness of the world all the vani-
ties that want to be puffed all the reven-
ges that want to be reaped all the
mistakes that want to be corrected all
the dull speakers that want to be
thought eloquent all the meanness
that wants to get its wares noticed gratis
in the editorial columns, in order to
save the tax of the advertising columns;
all the men who want to be set right who
were never right all the crack-brained
philosophers with stories as long as their
hair. and as gloomy as their fnger-nails
in the mourning because bereft of soap
all the bores who come to stay FIVE
minutes. but talk FIVE hours. Through
the editorial and reportorial rooms all
the follies and shams of the world are
seen day after day. and the temptation
is to believe in neither God, man nor
woman. 1t is no surprise to me that in
this profession there are some skeptical
men; only wonder that journalists be-
lieve any-thing.-De Wit TaLmage.

DISCARDED THE GARGLE.

The other morning when Mr.. Jones
entered his family drug store to have a
prescription put up he found new
clerk IN attendance. Mr.. Jones has
considerable curiosity, and while he
waited he began
"Been here long
''Only two days.

"Well not much better"

"No."
"Going to marry his daughter p
Haven't thought of it"
There was brief rest until the clerk
had finished his labors, and then he
beckoned Mr.. Jones into the back room
and said =

dence why l came here. liked in New

Jones went out feeling of his left ear
and looking into vacancy. and his sore
throat got well without the help of the
gargle.

"Of course he will, my darling"

.'Then it's all right" said Felicie,
skipping off to answer her letter.
In little while, Felicie began to
think she took wicked pleasure in her
voice. She could not but be proud of
it. Sunday became triumph to her.
She felt that when she sung her solos
every note was listened to with delight
ed attention but she kept down her
innocent, girlish vanity by saying to
herself:
"When Mr.. Thornton comes home, he
will have heard so many fine voices that
mine will be nothing to him; and if he
sees that am vain of it, he will be ut
terly disgusted with me"
She had been singing in the choir
one whole winter. 1t was the afternoon
of Easter Sunday, and the church was
packed to hear Miss Brevard sing.
She had never sung SO gloriously
she felt delicious sense of impending
happiness.
At last the service was over; the
people had focked out; the sexton
would be around in half an hour to lock
up everything for the night.
Felicie remained. When every one
had left the church she stole to the Or
gan and began playing. Then she be-
gan to sing a simple little hymn that
Miss Shepard had told her was the fa-
vorite of Russell Thornton's mother.
II never heard anybody but her sing
it." she often said, as she heard Felicie
singing it.
She thought she was entirely alone
in the great, dark church. while the
twilight shadows slowly crept in the
stained-glass windows; but there was
some one else. A gentleman sat in a
corner of the church, who turned round
so as to face the choir.
1t was over in few minutes. Fe-
licie rose and made her way down the
riekety steps that led from the choir gal
lery. When she got to the church door
the gentleman came forward out of the
dusk. and caught her two hands in his.
L
"Felicie," was all he said.
81 thought you were not coming back
for three years; and now-I am SO star
tled!'
"Are you sorry. Felicie p
NO." she said, boldly.
They walked together toward Felicie's
home in the soft spring evening.
"How gloricusly you sing. Felicie q
said Thornton. ''But do you know that
little hymn you sang last was my moth
er's hymn?"
al knew it," said Felicie. "Miss
Shepard told me SO, and taught it tc
me; and have often thought that
would learn to sing-much better thar
| do now-and sing it to you"
They fingered on the way home, 81
that Miss Shepard was quite miserable
when they came in.
al knew something pleasant was 60
ing to happen" Felicie said. "for fel
a bird singing in my heart all day."
In week people were saying:
.'Do you know that Russell Thorn
ton is going to marry that pretty girl
with the French name, who sings in st
Peters Church %
The report was true.
"Do brides ever select their weddin
presents ?" asked Felicie, just befor
they were married.
Il don't know" said Russell, laugh
ing; "but you may"
.'Then give me that head of Apollo
Oh, what lucky thing it was that

ORA EFT LABORA.

Safely through thy night OF sorrow;
Ger the rough and stormy way.
Lovingly our Saviour led thee,
On toward the dawn of perfect day.
Many earnest prayers were offered.
Only such will blessings bring;
No fears no doubts, the mercy profered
Jesus bestows: praise Christ thy King!
Running with patience the Christian race.
Oh, strong thy faith, thy love is pure,
Bright thy hope, for the throne OF grace
Is often sought, twill peace secure.
Never weary in doing well,
Striving to save from the power of sin,-
Of the love of Jesus patiently tell.-
Near the cross work, thy crown to win.

THE HIGHWAY COW.

The hue of her hide was dusky brown,
Her body was lean and her neck was slim,
One horn turned up and the other turned down.
She was keen of vision and long of limb;
With Roman nose and short stump tail,
And ribs like the hoops on homemade pail.
Many mark did her body bear;
She had been a target for all things known;
On many scar the dusky hair
Would grow no more where it once had grown !;
Many passionate, parting shot
Had left upon her lasting spot.
Many and many well-almed stone.
Many brckbat of goodly size.
And many cudgel, swiftly thrown,
Had brought the tears to her loving eyes;
Or had bounded off from her bony back,
With noise like the sound of rifle crack.
Many day had she passed in the pound
For helping herself to her neighbours corn;
Many cowardly cur and hound
Had been trans6xed on her crumpled horn;
Many teapot and old tin pail
Had the farmer boys tied to her time-worn tail.
Old Deacon Gray was pi0us man.
Though sometimes tempted to be profane.
When many a weary mile he ran
To drive her out of his growing grain.
Sharp were the pranks she used to play
To get her fill and to get away.
She knew when the Deacon went to town;
She wisely watched him when he went by;
He never passed her without frown
And an evil gleam in each angry eye;
He would crack his whip in surly way,
And drive along his "one-hoss shay"
Then at his homestead she loved to call,
Lifting his bars with crumpled horn;
Nimbly scaling his garden wall.
Helping herself to his standing corn;
Eating his cabbages, one by one,
Hurrying home when her work was done.
His human passions were quick to rise.
And striding forth with savage cry.
With fury blazing from both his eyes,
AS lightnings fash in a summer sky,
Redder and redder his face would grow,
Aud after the creature he would CO.
Over the garden, round and round.
Breaking his pear and apple trees;
Tramping his melons into the ground,
Overturning his hives of bees;
Leaving him angry and badly stung,
Wishing the old cows neck was wrung.
The moses grew on the garden WALL
The years went by with their work and play;
The boys of the village grew strong and tall.
And the gray-hared farmers passed away,
One by one as the red leaves fall,
But the highway COW outlived them all.

thoroughly enforce the arms bill there
will be trouble of the most serious
kind. Preparations for evictions are
being made on large scale. There
will be more cases Of this sort within
few months than have been known
for many years in the history of the
land. There will be resistance, and
the country will be thrown into a con-
dition of anarchy such as has never
before been known. Most gloomy
forebodings are INDUCED in by the
Irish people as to what may occur
within the next few months. Land
leagues continue to increase. Funds
are now considerably above 100000.

resistance. What will be done re-

is in trouble, Judge Deadly having is
sued an injunction stopping work on
it. Nine tenths of the people on both
sides of the river favor the bridge, and
want it finished as soon as possible.
The opposition to it comes from few
wharf owners and the steamboat men.
There will be considerable delay in it's
construction through this opposition,
but it will finally be finished all the
same.
