Garfield.

Mr.. Blaine closed his recent eloquent
eulogy on Garfield with these words {:
Great in life. he was surprisingly
great in death. For no cause, in the
very frenzy of wantOnness and wicked
ness, by the red hand of murder, he
was thrust from the full tide of this
worlds interest, from its hopes, its
aspirations, its victories, into the viSi
BILE presence of death-and he did not
quail. Not alone for the one short mo-
ment in which, stunned and dazed, he
could give up life, hardly aware of its
REIMBURSEMENT, but through days of
deadly languor, through weeks of
agony, that was not less agony because
silently borne, with clear sight and
calm courage, he looked into his open
grave. What blight and ruin met his
anguished eyes, whose lips may tell
what brilliant, broken plans, what baf-
fled, high ambitions, what sundering
of strong, warm manhOOd's friendships,
what bitter rending of sweet house
hold ties Behind him a proud, eX
pectant nation, IL great host of sustain
ing friends, a cherished and happy
mother, wearing the full, rich hOnOrs
of her early toll and tears the wife of
his youth, whose whole life lay in his !;
the little boys not yet emerged from
childhOOd's day of frOlic the fair,
young daughter the sturdy SONS just
springing into closest cOmpaniOnship,
claiming every day and every day re
warding Il fathers love and care and
in his heart the eager, rejoicing power
to meet all demand. Before him, des-
ola auI 1arlynnSS And his
soul was not shaken. His cOun-
trymen were thrilled with instant,
profound, and universal sympathy.
Masterful in his mortal weakness, he
became the centre of nations love,
enshrined in the prayers of II world.
But all the love and all the sympathy
could not share with him his suffer
ing. He trod the wine-press alone.
| With unfaltering front he faced death.
With unfailing tenderness he took leave
of life. Above the demoniac hiss of
the assassin's bullet he heard the voice
of God. With simple resignation he
bowed to the Divine decree.
As the end drew near, his early era
wing for the sea returned. The stately
mansion of power had been to him the
wearisome hospital of pain, and he
begged to he taken from its oppressive
sitting air, from its hOmelessnessand Its
hOpelessness. Gently, silently, the love
of IA great people bore the pale sufferer
to the lOngedfor healing of the sea, tC
live or to die, as God should will, with
in sight of its heaving billOws, within
sound of its manifold voices. With
wan, fevered face tenderly lifted to tn,
cooling breeze, he looked out wistfully
upon the oceans changing wonders
on its far sails, whitening i'll the morn
ing light on its restless waves, rolling
shoreward to break and die beneath
the MONDAY sun on the red clouds oI
evening, arching low to the horizon
on the serene and shining pathway %
the stars. Let us think that his dying
eyes read IA mystic meaning which only
the rapt and parting soul may know
Let us believe that in the silence of the
receding world he heard the grea
waves breaking on Il further shore, an'
felt already upon his wasted brow thu
breath of the eternal morning.

The Electric Dog.

''Cn | have a word in private with

gentleman, anXiOusly.
81 am the man." responded the en-
cyclopcdia.
II want you to help me ont in some
thing" said the stranger. II live
down at the flatlands, and the other
day peddler sold my wife an electric
dog"
"Never heard of such thing" OBJ
served the Questions man. "What is
he like ?"
"Well, he's like to bust up the ranch
if | can't stop him." said the stranger
earnestly. "Don't you know about
such things ?"
IL can understand how battery
could be placed so as to give awkward
motion to the legs and tail, with car
bon points to light the eyes," ruminat-
ed the philosopher. GLOW does he
work ? Has he got carbon points ?''
Il guess he has, and the carbon
points in all directions,r returned the
stranger, glOOmily. "The peddler tjld
my wife to pour vitrol III his ear, and
she did. Stranger, there isn't Il whole
stick of furniture in my house, and the
dog has got the whole place to himself.

"That's strange" muttercd the tar
get for Interrogation points. "1hr
batteries must have got ont of order.
Can't you break the connection ?"
Just what want - exclaimed the
Flatlands man, Frightening up. ''If
could only break off all connection
with the dog I'd open squash pie.
Now, tell me just how it's done"
"You See" said the philosopher,
leaning forward and scratching his
head, '.the influence of the battery on
the magnets must be irregular. What
does the dog seem to do 7"
"The first thing he did, when sh,
| loaded him, was to 90 for a ham
| Then he gobbled barrel of potatoes
and drank nearly four barrels of hard
cider. That goaded him to madness
and he turned loose Oh the furniture

Look around the reporters table.
There never was a more brilliant set
of young men than that found in jour
naliSm. What becomes of them ?
lou might as well ask for dead mule.
Iou don't find many of them occupy

4 Boys Sad Fate.

Last autumn boy of Ii, who had
got sea-going notions into his head
from reading the false stories about
life at sea and on ship-board, stole
away from home in the same manner.
Unfortunately he found Il sailing craft
Just wanting boy, and he was taken
in. The vessel went up to II Maine
port, and on January |, sailed south
ward. When off Cape Ann, Mass, the
vessel was struck and disabled. The
men and boys sprang into Il boat, and
for three days and nights they were
without food or wafer, wet with rain
and slect. and chilled with cold. When
picked up 10y chance vessel, two men
and our wayward boy were lying in
the boat pale in death and frozen to
rigidity. The poor boy, deliriOus with
hunger, thirst and cold, had kept ask
ing, "When shall we get to land ~
One of the men stripped off his own
coat and mutflcd him in it, but il was
of no use. He talked of his parents to
the last, sent fond message to them,
and the sleep of death came on. How
many similar cases have there been, on
the 1876 steamships, and the many hun
dredS of sailing vessels that have sue
cumbcd to the oceans fury during the
single year past Pity indeed, that
the watcry graves of these deceived
and deludcd boys, led to flee from
home and friends, could not have been
filled by those men who, for the money
received, write and publish story books
and papers for boys filled with the en-
chanting falschoodS that carry away
the imagination of young lads who
would otherwise grow up as good men
and useful citizens. Boys, don't be
lievc these stories don't read them
they are sugar-coatcd poison. II Amer
