Coin West To Die.


Well, here We are my dear old wife, on board the

There, wife, we're movln' out Of townl-were

We've been from James 10 Johns house, from
Johns house back 10 James,
TIL now, the've laid their burdens down on
board this Western train;
IT'S rather hard 10 send us Oh all crippled up and
gray,
To end place on which to die, two thousand
miles away,
Since we broke up keepin' house, they've
carted ms around
TIL nov u seems, home for us on earth can

A. sure as this old face Of mine can ne'er look
young again.
80 sure well never more return 10 trouble John
or Jane.
They send us 10 a stranger land, DER an IN
Travelled road,
That, Mary, IN her Western home, may bear
the heavy load
II isn't to be wondered at that my eyes are
filled with tears,
or that my form IL bendln' with more than
weight Of years
didn't think twoud come to this-I didn't
mean IL should
No home islike your own home, tho made Of
logs and wood.
No bread IL sweet when eating IL mid bitter
ness and strife.
Few care to Oh with peace and joy, an old
mans losing life.
Nov Ger long untraveled road we seek a
stranger land
The old home circle broken up at cruel times
command;
But time cannot destroy our love. its stronger
now than when
Our heads wore not the silver locks Of three
score years aud ten.
Since We broke up keepin' house we've led
wretched life;
Jane put the blame upon Der man, and John
upon his wife;
They think not Of their inianey-of all those
tender years
When we toilcd day aud night Tor them' anu
wiped their flowing tears.
We leave behind us all the scenes Of early
years, dear wife,
And all the friends with whom we've won the
victories Of life;
We leave behind the little church. where OF
we've knelt in prayer,
But, good wife, we will never leave the God
that used to meet as there.
Although these eyes are CROWN dim, still can
see 10 read
The precious truths in Gods own Word, that
children all should heed;
eIIonor thy father" saith the Lorl-"thy
mother honor too;
Then shalt thou live long In the land that God
hath given 10 you"
Our latest days will dawn ere long-our jour
ney's end Is nigh
We're goin' West TO Mays home, we're gon'
West TO die;
Then he who sees the sparrow fall who counts
the oceans sands,
win take us TO the better home-the house not

The hammock Tnck.

The new allurement Of the girls
who live in cottages at Long Branch
(wriies Clara Belle to the Cincinnati
En1uirer) Is to lie in a hammock.
Il wouldn't be proper to undress and
go to bed in public, but il is all right
10 array oneself in robe as white and
loose as a night gown, and recline in
a hammock swung between varanda-
posts on the roadside of the house.
With the air free and no corset on to
stiien the figure, the girl who can't
pose herself with careful careless in a
hammock is unskillful indeed The
hair should be arranged fluffy under
and around the head, the body rests
negligently, and one arm may hang
down, but never foot. Why the lat
ter restriction ? Because the ardent adj.
mirer will be sure to look for a
foot dependent among the drapery
that should gracefully overflow the
hammock, and for that very reason he
shouldn't be permitted to find it. The
right idea is to disappoint the rascals.
A certain irreproacbable cottager on
Cedar avenue is noted for her success
in a hammock. All gazers are filled
with admiration at sight of her. Some
of her positions are a triAe extreme, as
when she crosses her legs to make a
book.rest. But, in a place where
young women outnumber young men
ten to one, the competition is necessa-
rily brisk. Sometimes a good girl
does something so audacious as to
make folks talk against her, as when a
a jolly tomboy from Philadelphia bet
a fellow that he couldn't put a dress
on her properly. Of course, there
was nothing so very bad about it, for
she was clothed except the mere outer
garment, and there were half dozen
spectators. Nethertheless, all her
wealth and social position are required
to sustain her in the present crisis.

A Rhode lsia1dBgstje's Adventure.

A countryman on a visit to friends
went a.fishing. He caught a small
pickerel. The fisherman was near
sighted, and his mouth had the habit
of standing ajar, and therefore, owing
to the shortness of sight, the fisher
mans mouth came very near the fish
when it was unlocked. Unexpected.
ly, need one say, the fish, by sud-
den jerk, unlocked itself, jumped in
to the mans mouth, and made straight
for his throat and ran part way in. A
cat and fish are alike in one respect
they can not be pulled by the tail
the wrong way of the fur or scale.
When the man attempted to take out
the fish his back fin stood up and in
terfered, and the man ran home to his
friends, who pushed the fish down,
and the fisherman had dined. You
may rise up and denounce the forego-
ing as a base fabrication, but persons
can be produced who will swear to the
main facts in the case.-[ Providence
Journal.

A STRANGE JURY. The supreme
Court of California has granted new
trial in the case of a man convicted
of murder in the second degree, on the
ground that the jury drank so much
beer, etc., during the trial as to unfit
them for proper and serious delibera-
ton of the evidence. The trial lasted
eight days, and it was shown that dur

beer, five gallons of wine. ten bottles
of claret, and considerable whisky

own expense and consumed by them

A dwarf II years old and hardly
twenty-five inches in height was sold
in France to Jean Lumeau, by his
father, to be exhibited in a booth. His
purchaser conceived the idea of estab-
fishing a miniature menagerie, with
dwarf as a tanner. He caused
number of cats to be painted so as to
look like tigers, and giving the dwarf
whip, compelled him by kicks and
threats to goad the cats into a furious
attack. The poor little fellow was

The FooD SUPPLY OF EUROPE
Notwithstanding the enormous outflow
of population from Europe, and the
simple If not scanty diet of the poorer
masses that remain, the problem Of
food supply is already serious one.
The increase of population is about
100000 a year, while the annual
food product is equal only to eleven
months consumption. The rest ag-
gregating nearly 100000 tons of
meat and 100000 tons of grain,
has to be imported. The chief def
cit is in the British Islands, which
have to import every year nearly
300. 100000 bushels of grain and
$50. 900 tons Of meat.

contains of silver of nine-tenths of

FASTING As A CURE FOR RnEUMA

FASTING AS A CURE FOR RHEUMA
TIsM.-Dr. Wood, professor OF chem
istry in the medical department of
Bishop College, Montreal, reports a
number of cases in which accute ar
ticular rheumatism was cured by fast
ing, usually from four to eight days.
In no case was it necessary TO fast
more than ten days. Less positive
results were obtained in cases Of
chronic rheumatism. The patients
were allowed to drink freely of cold
water, or lemodade in moderate
quantities, if they preferred. No
medicines were given. Dr. Wood
says that from the quick and almost
invariably good results obtained by
simple abstinence from food in more
than forty cases in his own practice,
he is inclined to believe that rheuma
tbs, after all, only a phase of indiges-
ton, can be cured by giving complete
and continued rest TO all the yicera.
