BETWEEN THELEAyEs.
BY JOSEPHINE POLLARD

/
took volume, old and worn,
From off the library shelf one day;
The covers were defaeed and torn,
And many a leaf had gone astray.
turned the pages slowly DER
In search Of some forgotten truth,
Familiar in the days of yore
| AS were the school books of my youth.
| The mildewed leaves, the faded print,
! Seemed quite inanimate and cold,
| As if they ne'er had been the mint
From which garnered precious gold.
| So dull and colorless the page,
| turned and turned, in hopes to find
Something that would restore to age
The freshness of the youthful mind.
AS we'll, indeed, might I essay
Hopes early visions to renew,
Or give unto dead bouquet
Its former fragrance and its dew.
closed the volume with sigh,
AS if it were joys entrance door
A bit of color caught my eye
just as it futtered to the floor.
Twas but a maple leaf all blotched
With gold and crimson, green and brown
The edges delicately notched,
And perfect still from stem to crown;
And when took it in my hand,
This little leaf from maple tree,
AS it it were a magic wand,
Brought back vanished youth to me.
lived again those joyful days,
The old, familiar songs l sung,
And walked again, with sweet delays,
The paths l loved when l was young.
E'en as the hues upon the leaf,
Each scene appeared so freshly bright
That all remembrances of grief
Were lost, and faded out Of sight.
THE "COMING MAN."
A pair Of very chubby legs,
Encased in scarlet hose;
A pair of little stubby boots,
With rather doubtful toes;
A little kilt, a little coat,
Cut as a mother can
And 10 before us strides, in state,
The future coming No.
His eyes, perchance, will read the stars,
And search their unknown ways;
Perhaps the human heart and soul
Will be a nations light
Those eyes, that now are wistful bent
Gu some big fellows kite"
That brow where mighty thoughts will dwell
In solemn, secret state,
Where fierce Ambition's restless strength
Shall war with future fate;
Where Science from now hidden caves
Nt" tftaSuFtS sIltlI OutpVuE-
Ills knit now, with troubled doubt,
Are two, or three cents morel
Those lips that, iu coming years,
Will plead, or pray, or teach
Whose whispered words, on LIGHTNING flash,
From world to world may reach;
That sternly grave, may speak command
Or, smiling, win control
Are coaxing now for gingerbread
With all baby's soul
Those hands-those busy little hands
So sticky, small and brown
Those hands, whose only mission means
TO tear all order down
Who knows what hidden strength may lie
Within their chubby grasp.
Though now tits but Il taffy
In sturdy hold they clasp?
All, blessings on those little hands,
Whose work is not undone!
And blessings on those little feet,
Whose race is yet unrun
And blessings on the little brain
That has not learned to plan;
Whate'er the future holds in store,
God bless the " coming man! !"

NEW YORK, July 8, 1882.
EDITOR CHIEF:
Two weeks ago and not one person in
thousand knew or cared what a freight
handler was. We might possibly have
seen, as we passed along the docks, men
tumbling boxes and barrels, but it never
entered into auybody's head that they
were likely to become a very important
factor in the city's life; yet New York
could not be held more completely by
the throat if dozen monitors were
anchored off the Battery and covered the
city with their guns and the strange
part of it is that, notwithstanding the
suffering and loss that the freight hand
lers' strike has induced, though the
commerce of this great city is paralyzed
as it has never been before, up to the
present time not one word has been
uttered against the strikers. The justice
of their claim has been freely acknowl-
edged by all classes except the railroad
magnates, whose watered stocks is ex-
pected to pay ten per cent. dividends.
The men have been fortunate in their
leaders; refer, particularly, to those in
New York, for our neighbors in Jersey
City have not been SO wisely governed.
In New York the men have acted with
singular moderation; they have con-
Quoted their strike ON true American
principles they have simply said, "We
can't live on the wages you offer; if any
one else can, get them I" and this course
has won for them the respect and SYM
pathy of all classes, and everybody is
giving them a God-speed. Meanwhile
mountains of freight are accumulating
at all the depots, and hundred Of tons of
perishable goods are going to the +" dem
milton bow vows" at which there is
much weeping and wailing and gnashing
of teeth, not to mention lavish supera-
bnndance of exceedingly bad language,
somewhat shocking to ears polite. No
doubt Job was patient man, but he
never tried driving truck in New York
when there was strike of the freight
handlers. There is only so much room
upon the docks, and till that room is
cleared ont no more can be put in, and
long lines of trucks stand OIL the streets
for blocks, waiting for a chance to dump
their loads; the thermometer is 96o in
the shade; truckman on top of his load,
not in the shade, but in the sweltering
sun. Truckmen as usual thing are not
saints, and as q natural consequence you
hear fragments of the Saxon
language that would scarcely pass mus
ter at Sunday school picnic.
Another source of our trouble is the |
Jewish immigration. The wealthy Jews
of New York stood nobly up to the work
for several months past. No people

Many persons take medicine for their all
ments, and as soon as they feel better they
disreg ard all directions and stop taking it.
They try it again and again, ard finally
throw it aside as worthless, when, had it
been preserved in from the start, perma-
nent cure would have been effected. Now

Der to give the medicine a chance, and don't
