Table Etiquette.

II by writing this we can induce ono

or ground and wipe them on his pants, we
shall feel amply repaid.

!. A simple note to your host informing
him that your washerwoman refuses TO
relent is sufficient
on seating yourself at the table draw
OF your gloves and put them in your lap

Stones In cherries or other ffuit should
not be placed upon the tablecloth, but

the pocket Of your neighbor or noise
lessly tossed under the table.
Ladies' should take but one glass Of

sist him to find it, laughing heartily all
the time. .-BW Nye.

$ The Mad POet.v

Such was the name given to McDon-
aid Clarke, wild, eccentric writer OF
verses, who lived in the city OF New
York some thirty years ago. He had Q
talent for improvisation, which he used
to celebrate the charms of those persons
of whom, from time to time, he became
enamored
A volume OF his poems, published by
subscription, contains in the preface
these touching paragraphs
81 won't poster folks with apologies.
Here's rough handful of fowers-a
little dirt about the roots-a tear'll wash
it off,
"If the life Of my poetry is whole
some, twill breathe after the wild spirit
that inspired it has been sobered at the
terrible tribunal Of eternity, and the
weak hand that traced it long wasted to
ashes"
In one of these wild moods which fre-
uuently came upon him, when the will
TO be sublime was not sustained by the
strength, he wrote these lines on Wash
ington:
Eternisy-give him elbow room;
A spirit Ike his IL large;
Earth-fencO with Artl cry his tomb,
And frc double charge,
To the memory Of Americas greatest man:
Match him posterity II you can.
He was regular attendant on Sunday
church services, and in one OF his lucid
moods wrote this tender, simple tribute
10 the Sabbath:
feel the happier all the week
II my fooi has pr. ssed the sacred sisie
The pillow seems softer TO my cbsek
sink 30 siumber with smile:
With sinful passtons cease 70 night,
And sweety dream on Sunday night
He died in the lunatic asylum on
Blackwell'sl island, and was buried in
Greenwood Cemetery. Speaking of the
arrangements he desired made for his
funeral, he said:
"I hope the children win como. !
want to be buried by the side of chill
dren. -Four things / am sure sesre will
be in heaven--music, fow.'-- trs air
and plenty of little children.

THE SWEET BY.AND.BY.



a Talk with the Composer Of the
Beautiful Hymn
DR.. s. Fillmore Bennett, practicing
physician OF Richmond, ILL.,, small
{6wn southeast of Lake Geneva, was
visited and conversed with by a Chicago
NesOs reporter with reference to the
authorship of the words and music Of
that remarkably popular Christian hymn
called "The Sweet By-and-By." DR..
Bennett is. 45 years old, and the father
of considerable family, including . son
who is q recent graduate Of Rush Medi-
cal College. In stature the doctor Is
of medium height, and quite spare.
He is thin visaged, wears thin mus
tache and goatee, and is of not very
light complexion. He has q lock Of
hair, slightly gray, overhanging bi6
brow. which gives him the look Of .
person with the poetical faculty. In
his conversation he is clear, practical,
serious and positive. He said:
"The story Of the origin Of the hymn,
The Sweet By-and-By,' is short one
and soon told. From 1861 TO 1871 / re-
sided in Elkhart, Wis, where kept an
apothecary store. And during that pc
Rod was associated with Joseph p. Web
ster, Q music teacher, in the production
of musical works, I composing the words,
and he the music. Our first publication
was the 'Signet Ring, our second, The
Beatitudes, our third, The Sunday
School Cantata, and our fourth and last,
The Great Rebellion. It was in the
fall of 1874, when we were at work on
The Signet Ring that we composed
The Sweet By-and-By.' 1t was COM
posed for that work, and published first
in il. And this was the way we hap
pened to compose it. Webster was an
extremely sensitive and melancholy man,
and very prone to think that others had
slighted him. He was always imagining
that some old friend had spoken to him
coolly and then dropping into bottomless
despondency about 1t until some casual
meeting afterward d spelled the Illusion.
After while I understood this weakness
SO we'll that knew how to take it, and it
gave me no trouble atall. On the contra
~, used to aid him in getting over those
spells, generally by putting him to work,
which, 4 learned by experience, was
sure to relieve him. So one day in the
fall of 1874 could give you the day II

WISE WORDS.
PUBLICAN.

Our deeds determine us as much as
we determine our deeds.
Half the ills we hoard in our hearts
are ills because we hoard them.
Wounds of the heart are the only
ones that are healed by opening.
Great men and geniuses find their
true places in times of great events.
Troubles borrowed and stolen out
number by far all others in the world.
The means to promote any end are
as necessary as the end to be promoted.
1t is easy to look down on others; to
look down on ourselves is the difficulty.
On the neck OF the young man
sparkles no gem so gracious as enter
prise.
The reproaches of enemies should
quicken us to duty, and not keep us
from it.
He who lives only to benefit himself
confers on the world benefit when
he dies.
1t is easier to set man fighting
against all the world than to make him
fight with himself.
In all matters of right and wrong
Judge for yourself, decide for yourself,
stand by yourself.
When a man has not a good reason
for doing q thing, he has one good
reason for letting it alone,
Make no more VOWS to perform this
or that; it shows no great strength, and
mares thee ride behind thyself.
We cannot conquer fate and necessity,
but we can yield TO them in such way
as to be greater than if we could.
If you have an opportunito to do
generous action, do it. 1t is very
pleasant reflection to go to sleep with.
Man wastes his mornings in antici-
pating his afternoons, and wastes his
afternoons in regretting his mornings.
Mirth should be the embroidery Of
conversation, not the web and wit the
ornament of the mind, not the furniture.

An ArmIess Horse Thief.

Dallas, Texas, has had a visit from
a singular character-Jack Hall, alias
No Arm Jack-en route to Stephensville
Jail, from which institution the prisoner
escaped six months ago after receiving
a sentence Of ten years in the peniten-
tiary for horse stealing. Both his arms
are off above the elbow, having been
crushed in a sugar mill when he was
child, but the bones grew out several
inches from She flesh, and their surfaces
are rough like oorncobs, and Jack
writes beautiful hand by holding a
pen beside his chin and pressing the
protruding bone against it. He shoots
a pistol or firearms expertly, and man
ages horse ss we'll as the average two
handed man. The height Of his am-
bition appears to have been stealing
horses successfully. He is about thirty
years of age. He was arrested in the
Choctaw Nation.

Who shall describe the pure Joy of
this unselfsh little band, and the pa
rents pride and gratitude, when ex-
plantations were made? Alb, does not
the simple gift compassed by true love
and self-denial far outweigh jewels,
silver and fine gold?
At q signal from Monte, Dill and Meta
took their stations at each side Of the
curtain, and Monte, with moist eyes and
tremulous accents delivered the ensu-
ing speech:
"'The Artful Dodgers have one
more trick to exhibit, with which the
performance will close. II papa and
mamma will be kind enough to wish
very hard--the Dodgers think they
are prepared to give them something
very much desired"
Her cheeks glowed, her eyes dropped
"a strange solemn hush fell on the
little group, and Dill and Meta drew the
curtain. On dark background, in q
walnut frame, on q crimson-covered
table, stood picture-a portrait-vivid
startling-of the lost Elmer The
handsome features, the bright blue
eyes, the sunny hair tossed back from
the broad forehead true as life in their
motionless, appealing beauty--all were
there. The parents silently clasped
hands and Monte made another signal,
this time to the picture itself. The lips
part-the eyes hash-it moves-it
thrills
"ElmerI 1t is my boy-my first
baby T. cries the startled mother, spring
ing from her chair, unmindful of her
weakness-and, in another instant the
wanderers head is pillowsd on the one
bosom that never grows cold Except in
DEATH, the bowed form is clasped by
arms that never fol3 in utter unforgiv-
ingness
And then it all came out. Elmer,
whom whaling voyage had thoroughly
/ 'disenchanted, shrank from coming
directly home, and advertised in the
daily as "L. Murdie, Hoping land
rightly that Monies quick wit would
fathom it. She planned the picture
ruse, with DR.. Griscom's full sanction,
and brought Elmer into the house just
at the last, before the parents came
downstairs,
They were almost too happy to think
Of dinner, till ring at the front door
announced Aunt Edie and Grace, and
at the same moment Joanna bounced in
with:

Midsummer.

Midsummer.
Life is a splendid flower
With It's tender leaves uncurlod,
With its passionate breath Of an hour
On thousand breezes hurled
Giving, ay, giving to all
The throbs Of a heart 80 sweet
What though it's petals fall
To lie meath the careless feetl
We live in world Of bloom,
We are Lost in sea Of sound,
We are wrapt in a rare perfume,
We are lost in q Joy profound
An sweeter for us the notes
Than fairy bugles wind;
And rich are the sunset dyes
But man is dull and blind
Oh, Life, with your wondrous song
That angels might long to sing,
Shall we think Of our sin and wrong,
or our sorrows pain and sting1
Shall We dwell on our discomfort,
And the sin that gave II birth7
Not while sky of tend'rest tlue
Broods o'era perfect earth
Life You are true and sweet,
And God is tho heart Of all
In the daisy at my feet
In tho south winds signing call.
! am one with the birds and flower;
] am one with the vagrant bee,
Till the Joy and light Of happy world
Is centered and dwells in me.
And revel in my domain
Till the world is pleasant dream,
And Care is but the shade
or the cloud upon the stream.
