Done for the Children.

The New York Tribune, during the
last summer, gave from week to week
the history of the effect which country
life, and the unwonted kindness shown
them, had upon the children who had
been sent out of the city into the coun-
try by the ''Fresh Air Fund" But even
that alert journal could not tell any
thing of the pleasure and glow of
healthy feeling that had been produced
among the thousands of children and
grown people who contributed the
money.
The contributions came from all parts
of the country; from happy parents
whose children were still with them, and
from those whose children had left them
forever; from poor and rich; from old
men and from babies who saved their
pennies to keep other babies alive.
In one house, where the father sent q
cheque for large sum, the children
held fair in the woods and made 81.
A poor little colored boy on the place
hearing the story of the boys in New
York who never had seen a rabbit,
brought % cents-his savings for o
month-''to send out dat ar poor fellah,
an glib him real coon hunt
The children of Sunday school in
New York city asked that their contri-
buttons for foreign missions might be
diverted to this purpose. "You see,"
exclaimed one of the boys, ''we're so
much better acquainted with the shoe
blacks in Broadway than the shoe-blacks
in Siam''-which was accurate in reas-
oning If not in fact.
One poor seamstress who supported
blind mother and drunken husband sent
dollar, with the wish that she 'could
afford to give more in memory of the
dear babe she had lost"
Never was there, perhaps, an act of
charity which blessed so largely both
those who gave and those who received
as this, which has given beautiful high
meaning to the summer just past.

Lima Kiln Club Decisions.


81 take pleasure in informin' dis
club" began Brother Gardner, ''dat de
Committee on Judiciary has reported de
followin' special decisions to cover
cases which may arise among members.
De Seckretary will read 'em in an eiigi-
BILE tone, so dat all kin h'ar, an de
Char will take it as personal favor If
Elder Toots will keep awake doorin' de
mex six minits."
The Secretary then read as follows:
In case a man finds q sack of flour in
the road it am his dooty to take it home
an keep it in a dry place.
No man am expected to pound his
OWE. dog in case he finds 'em tightin'.
Signs of Keep off the Grass" mo
Admittance," Elevator not Running"
and shut the Door," are put up for
ornament, and should receive no atten-
ton.
Eleven ounces of beef an five ounces
of bone make a pound of beefsteak
which will stan in law.
Wills written in chalk on the ban
0oah won't STAN in law.
Doan' praise man kase he borrys
your hoe an returns it on time. Wait
! until he strikes you fur dollar.
A person kin be arrested fur steal1n
an umbrella, same as fur stealin' hog,
but no one eber will be.
Oar am ninety-eight chances outer a

In Haste.

A comical case of jumping at conclu-
sions-and of the consequences thereof
is given by the Galveston NesOS. The
editor says that Thomas McWhirter, of
San Antonio, owned goat. One eve
ming Mr.. McWhirter was out in the yard
feeding his COW. He had taken off his
coat and laid it on the fence.
In the pocket of the coat.he supposed,
was morocco pocket book containing
government bonds to the amount of two
thousand dollars.
When he had attended to the wants of
the COW, and turned to get his coat, he
found that garment lying in the mud.
The goat had pulled it off the fence,
and now stood balancing himself on the
roof of the chicken coop. AS he came
within the range of Mr.. McWhirter's
vision, and of a rock that the old man
threw at him, he was in the act of mas
ticating what seemed to be the remnant
of red morocco pocket book. Mr..
McWhirter concluded at once that it
was his pocket book, and that it contain
ed his two thousand dollars.
AS the awful disasterous character of
the misfortune dawned on MIR. McWhir-
ter. and he fully realized that his two
thousand dollars were filed away in the
digestive machinery of four-dollar
goat, he gave vent to his feelings in
yell that sounded like the wall of pair
of bagpipes leading funeral procession.
With dismay in every feature and a
three-tined hay fork in his hand, he
gave bound and went at full speed for
the goat.
The goat decided not to wait for him,
but ran down the street, the irascible
old man, coatless and hatless, in full cry
in his wake.
AS the two came tearing along, the
goat bleating derisive defiance, and
McWhirter waving the hay fork and
calling on the passers by to "head of
that $4,000 bond" pedestrians crawled
up ON fences, and hack drivers drove
into alleys until the procession passed.
Over shrubbery in front gardens, and
out through yard gates, the two kept on
in their mad career, until at last the
goat was corralled in stable.
A butcher was sent for, and under in
structions from Mr.. McWhirter, killed
the goat Inside was found an assort-
ment of clothes pins, MANILA paper and
hay, but there was no trace of the
United States bonds.
McWhirter tried to speak emphatical-
", but emotion choked his utterance.
He directed the butcher to give the re-
mains to the poor, and went home in q
hack. to find his pocket book and the
bonds In the pocket of another coat
where he had left them.

The Southland.

Oh, summer land! Oh, sunny South!
Oh, land of Orange-b,ossorIis rain,
turn to theei IOpe my month,
And drink thy fragrance once again.
Again beneath the red oaks shade
l stand, and watch the bannered moss,
And hear the mocking birds serenade,
And see the rushing river toss
Aside the tangled willows skein;
The years of absence seem lose;
come-my friend is found again.
No dainty lady ever won
lover more deVOut than
To thee, land of the golden sun!
Could he do more for her than dief
What can do to prove my love?
All, words are weak when pulses thrill
What if praise thee far above "
All other lands; if l distil
An essence from the sweets of words,
And fill thy garments with perfume,
Or seize all anthem from thy birds,
And make it known whore song finds room?
Would these express how dear to me
Arc memories that are partly thine,
As tender as a mist at sea,
As fruitful as thy purple vine7
For have held thee in my heart
Through years when thou hast sadly erred
Because knew thy better part,
And knew the current that still stirred
Within thy veins was blue, and true,
And stcadfast to the cause thou deemed
Tie best Then who says we shall rue
That thou vert faithful, when faith seemed
Another name for suicide?
Not weakly shrinking from the field,
But brayely meeting death with pride,
Because though cOuldst not learn to yield.
know not why turned to thee,
For was not thy kin nor kind,
Unless it was through sympathy
That made to me thy faults seem blind-
A leaning to the weaker side;
Thy hot impulse still kept in view,-
A pride and pity, close allied,
That saw thee false, but knew thee true.
The past is past, give my hand
To thee, sweet land Of blossom rain;
l WOO thee, auc thee from this strand,
And clasp thee to my heart again.
-Dartley Campbell in St. Louis Republican.
