nearly opposite where the engine made
the fearful plunge and Donahue and Ohm

her mother heard one crash. and realizing
what happened. Kate took lantern and
started for the wreck. Her light soon
went out. but she felt her way through
the woods and fallen timbers to the
edge of the dashing waters that covered
the drowned men. She could hear above
the roar of the storm the voice of Wood,
the engineer. who had caught in tree

CAMILLA.

Fatigued my modern bellies in town,
In country, and suburban villa.
! take my old school Virgil down,
And read the story Of Camilla
40 exile king to mountain lair
Retreating bears his infant daughter
Her nurture all fathers care,
Her Iore-the fores,-crzft he taught her.
With tiny hands she bends the bow,
Around her tender waist qgiyer,
And On her cheek the purple glow
That happiness and freedom give her.
She wears no bodice .iIken-Iaeed,
No clouds 81 Tyrian dye enfolf her,
But tgress skin In savage taste
Depending from an ivory shoulder;
No gold confines her raven hair.
The dear delight Of mountain breeze-,
II hoats untrammeied on the air,
Or hangs as happy nature pleases-
Twin buskins guard her fairy feet
From cruel rinf and frosty weather,
Their tread 90 deiicateiy feet
A. scarce 10 bend the blooming heather
And rowing thus, n hun'ress-child,
Like Diau's younger fairer sister,
No game, however strong or wild,
In all the woodland could resis; her.
At sweet sixteen Camilla won
such peerless fame Of budding beauty
That many a mother urged her son
To lure the mai I from iilial duty;
But when soIne youth Of eourtIy grace
Acoo-fed her with lovers gre citing,
She shook her arrows ia his faee,
And clap; her hands at his retreaiing.
SO dear TO her these forest glades.
With virgin liberty TO range them,
Her mountains with their Wild eascades-
she conid not for palace change them
And 80 shr kept, example rsrei

And all her kisses for Diana.

Begging, the Best Business In New York

A California millionaire says that TWEEN

York. They had 500. He was taken i'll
and had to be sent to a hospital When
he came out his funds were gone and he
was wreck. while his wife was but skin
and bone. He walked the streets in search
of work. but to no purpose. Utterly ex-
hausted. he sank to the pavement and fell
into deep sleep. Suddenly waking. he
stretched his hand to his hat, which had
fallen from his head. He was surprised
to. hear the rattle of coins. In it were
twenty-seven pennies. which the public
had thrown in while he slept. Overioyed,
he went home, and with his wife had the
first square meal of the week Then"
said he, II determined that the public,
which would not pay me for work. should
give me living for nothing" He dis
guised himself somewhat. and for three
wears followed, in different sections of the
city. a system of begging. At the end of
thst time he had SIC. 900 in the bank and
had lived moderately all the time He

ed to the door by Uncle Joe's steady
gaze. The method failed with Fred
Tremaine, for the look only sent him as
FARMS Rosie's side; where he sat down
with determination. Mrs. Gloss was
sobblng hysterlcally, and her husband
seemed inclined to drop down dead.
"Well," Uncle Joe began, swell,
aren't you a pack of idiots to sacrifice
your comforts and honesty for this
wretched show of fashionable life Now
I've always disappointed you in the
money way, and I'll do it STILL" Mr..
Sam Gloss trembled. "I'll do 1t still
for you think I'm going to see you 20
to ruin, and won't. i will look over
matters with you, Sam, and find out
how can put you on your legs again.
But stop this high pressure living, and
give this girl, Rosie, to Tremaine, who
is a good fellow, II he is poor"
Rose and Fred tried to say some words
of thanks, but falling to do justice to
their feelings, consoled each other by
clasping hands.
"There is worse misery than power
ty," Uncle Joe went on, "and Miss Lou
had better cast about for some good boy
at a thousand. dollar salary, for no more
brokers will desire her dowry to mend
their capital. AS for Ted" and Uncle

A Long Riddle.

A young Bible-student was asked
" How many boys are there in your
class 2"
He replied: "If you multiply the
number of Jacobs sons by the number
of times which the Israelites compassed
Jericho, and add to the product the
number of measures of barley which
Boaz gave Ruth, divide this by the
number OF Haman's sons, subtract the
number of each kind of clean beasts that
went into the ark, multiply by the
number of men that went to seek Elijah
after he was taken to heaven subtract
from this Joseph's age at the time he
stood before Pharaoh, add the number of
stones in David's bag when he killed
Goliath, subtract the number of furlongs
that Bethany was distant from Jerusa-
lem, divide by the number of anchors
cast out when Paul was shipwrecked
subtract the number of persons saved ia
the ark, and the remainder will be the
answer

Profitable PoIIteness.

THE Boston Traveller, in commenting
i on the prevalence of rudeness, tells
the following incident that happened
some years ago:
There was a plainly dressed, elderly
lady, who was frequent customer at
the then leading dry goods store in Bos-
ton. No one in the store knew her
even by name. All the clerks but one
avoided her, and gave their attention to
those who were better dressed and more
pretentious.
The exception was a young man who
had conscientious regard for system
and duty. He never left another custo-
mer to wait on the lady, but when at
liberty waited on her with as much
attention as If she had been a princess.
This continued year or two, till the
young man became of age. One morn
ing the lady approached the young man,
when the following conversation took
place:
Young man, do you wish to go into
business for yourself?'
Yes, ma'am," he replied, g. but 1
have neither money, credit nor friends,
nor will any one trust me-"
Well" continued the lady, ego and
select good situation, ask what the
rent is, and report to me-" handing the
young man her address.
The young man went, found capital
location, and good store, but the land
lord required security, which he could
not give.
Mindful of the lady's request, he went
to her and reported. "Well," she re-
piled, "you go and tell Mr.. - that /
will be responsible"
He went and the landlord was sur
prised, but the bargain was closed.
The next day the lady again called
to ascertain the result The young
man told her, but added: "What am
1 to do for goods2 No one will trust
me-" -1D
"You may go and see Mr.. -, and
Mr.. -, and Mr.. -, and tell them to
call on me-"
He did, and his store was soon stocked
with the best goods in the market.
There are many in that city who re-
member the circumstances and the man.
He died many years ago and left
fortune of $500, 900. So much for polite
ness, so,much for treating ones elders
with the Difference due to age, in what
ever garb they are clothed.

The Height Of Folly.

To wait until you are down on your
bed with disease you may not get over
for months, is the height of folly, when
you might be easily cured during the
early symptoms by using Parker's Gin

never do any harm, and possesses cura-
tive properties In the highest degree

CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND
MENT.
"Plain Talk" Desires to Be
Heard.


Editor Of the Register.
On the temperance question, itshould
be remembered, that there is now but
one issue, and that, at present, rests
with our State Legislature, now in SEES
sion. The question is simply this;
Shall an amendment to the constitution
he submitted TO q vote Of the people,
prohibiting the manufacture and sale OF
intoxicating liquors, except for mechan-
ical, scientific, medicinal and other
specified purposesH 1t is not our Pur-
pose to discuss this question, upon Its
merits, but merely to state it clearly
and distinctly before the pnblic. 30 that
there need be no misrepresentation in
regard to it. Certainly the people have
a right to vote upon such an amend
ment, il they desire to do 40; and we
cannot see how the Legislature-espe-
cially Democratic Legislature-csn re-
fuse so reasonable request on the part
oil the petlUOnefe.
We think that the friends Of temper
anee will act unwisely il they lose sight
Of the main issue, at present, and press
others OF comparatively less Importance
into the foreground. They desire to Sc
cure the cooperation Of the leading
classes in society. To do this, it will be
necessary TO avoid certain practices
which give offence to large portion oil
the Christian community. We shall
only specify one or two: The friends Of
temperance, then, should understand,
that they do give offence to many earn
est Christians, by habitually holding
their meetings during church hours, on
Sunday evenings. They should remem-
Der, also, that it is exceedingly repug'
nant to the feelings OF many serious
Christians to attend temperance meet
ing on Sunday afternoon, to find that 1t
assumes more the character OF theatre
cal performance than that OF a sober re-
formatory movement, affecting the well
fare OF a vast number of human beings.
Some giddy-minded temperance folks
NAV sheer at this. But they should
not forget that the command. "Remem-
Der the Sabbath day to keep it holy"
has not vet been abrogsted, nor has the
time come to set aside regularly con-
stituted Christian ministry and ordin-
ances, in favor of slang. whangers and
retailers Of ribald iests and stale aimee
dotes. II eccentric leaders desire the CO.
operation of the Christian community,
in all its force, they must desist from
these offensive practices.
Let the constitutional amendment be
referred to the people. II the people,
in their sovereign right, say that 1t shall
be adopted, then neither saloonists or
moonshiners, wholesalers or retailers,
have any right to say, "No." Nor can
any political party, at its peril, refuse to
submit such reasonable proposition as
that OF constitutional amendment, TO a
vote OF the people. Public indignation
has been aroused to such an extent to
the abuses of Intoxicating drinks, that
the great mass OF the people are resolv-
ed, by some means or other, on a re-
dress Of grievances.
