The work of loading the wounded was a long

doubtless have recovered if they could have re-

again, and the precious life would soon ebb out
through the crimson tides.

With a glory of winter sunshine
over his locks of gray,
In the old historic mansion
He sat on his last birthday.
With his books and his pleasant pictures
And his household and his kin,
With a sound as of myriads singing
From far and near stole in.
1t came from his own fair city,
From the prairie's boundlcss plain,
From the golden gate of sunset,
And the cedarn woods of Maine.
And his heart grew warm within him,
And his molstening eyes grew dim,
For he knew that his cOuntry's children
Were singing the songs of him;
The lays of his life's glad morning,
The psalms of his evening time.
Whose echoes shall float forever
On the winds of every cline.
Al their beautiful consultations.
Sent forth like birds of cheer.
Came t1ocking back to his windows.
And sang in the poets ear.
Grateful, but solemn and tender.
The music rose and fell
With a JOY akin to sadness
And greeting like farewell.
With Il sense of awe he listened
TO the voices sweet and young;
The last of earth and the first of Heaven
seemed in the songs they sung.
And waiting little longer
For the wonderful change to come.
He heard the summoning angel
Who calls Gods children home,
And to him. in a holier welcome.

out the sea, as great wave leaped up,
and pOising for an instant on the little
boat, came down heavily upon it, and
then, as if satisfied with it's work, the
green glittering monster rolled on leaving
in its track few broken planks and few
struggling figures: that was all, and in a
few moments more these too had vanished
in the foaming caldron.
An awful stiffness fell upon those left
on the deck, and then the captain spoke,
slowly and solemnly.
"AIy friends, it is with you to choose
whether you will die as those other poor
creatures have done, or wait quietly here,
and 60 down with the ship. think we

staying here it will give us more time,
for the ship is settling more slowly now !;

And 50 it came about that, except for
those in that boat, every one remained on
the poor wreck waiting in agony for the
final moment to come when she should
plunge down into the depths of the ocean
with her human freight.
An hour passed on. another and an
other, and still the vessel tioated, ard still
the WAVES ran too high for the boats to
live in their midst.
Another hour and yet another, and
then the brave captain rose up, his checks
flashing, his eyes sparkling, his voice
faltering.

your knees and thank God for his mercy :;
He has granted our prayers for deliver

Surprising A Clergyman.

An elderly Augusta lady, a vertablc mother
in Israel, is now blushing under her spectaccs
over a laughable blunder which she made Mon
day. She was alone in the house. the family
having gone out She is slightly deaf and
peacefully piled her knitting needles uncon-
scious Of the turmoil and hustle of the outside
world. In the room with her was the family
dog, and with the usual canine peryersity he
became uneasy, annoying her unit she let him
out. few minutes later one of the most pop
ular city clerymen approached the house. The
dog recognized him, and ran barking out to
meet him, Wagging his tail in his transports of
joy. The minister thought it would be a good
time to visit the family and, as he is an old and
valued friend of all the members, he walked
dow the plank walk and knocked at the side
door. The dog, which had followed him, begun
scratching at the door, occasionally uttering
sharp bark. The old lady, supposing the dog
wished to re-enter the room, arose from her
chair, and opened the door, at the same time
saying little impatiently: ''Cone IN you mi
mace!" The amazed clergyman redeemed in as
tonishment at the unceremonous exclamation
and when the old lady saw her mistake she
nearly tainted. Explanations We're in order,
and the joke was intensely appreciated by the
reverend gentleman. But the old lady is still
agitated over her blunder and says: 'Lordy
massy, | shall never forgive myself in the world
for treating minister like that" kenne-

A Dastardly Revenge.

EsTILLvILLE, Va, Feb. ga sad
drowning accident occurred yester-
day on Baer Creek, in this country,
resulting from the brutal refusal of
persons standing near at hand to
endeavor to save those in peril.
Mrs. Vickers, with her three children,
while attempting to cross the stream
on horseback, were thrown into the
water by the animal missing his
footing and stumbling. The wo-
man and her little ones, the
eldest not 10 the Youngest
a child at the breast, were precipita-
ted into the swift current. A man
named John Tugate, with two other
men, stood on the bank and watch
ed the desperate struggles ofthe poor
woman and children to save them
selves. One of the men, less heart
less than the others, manifested q
disposition to attempt TO save them.
Tugate, however, would not permit
him or any other 10 lend a helping
hand, but forced them to stand by and
witness their struggles to get out of
the water. The cries of the woman
finally reached the ears of a man at
work in a field near by, who, in re-
sponse, went TO her assistance in
time to save the woman and her
two eldest children. Theinfant had
been swept down the stream and
was drowned before the man could
plunge in and save it. The expla-
nation Of Tugase's heartless refusal
10 assist the woman is that her hus-
band, a few years ago, murdered
his brother and consequently suffer
ed for his crime upon the gallows-

The Jews have been expelled
from Russia at different times since
the eleventh century. Their only
protector was Alexander |. who be-
came Car in 1901. On the acces-
-ion Of Nicholas, in 1875, they were
prohibited from carrying on the
smaller trades, but were allowed to
be bill brokers' contractors, &c, on
paying a very heavy impost for the
priviIegc. This and many other
oppressive enactments seem never
to have been electually carried ont,
since q rigorous enforcement of them
would have largely disorganized the
social machinery of the country.
Although treated as aliens in other
respects, the Jews were subjected by
Nicholas to the CONSUMPTION, and
that, too, without the ordinary ex-
In ract if a Jew escaped the con-
scription a Jew child was taken,
and after being brought up in the
orthodox faith in some distant pro-
vince was enrolled as a substitute.
Many of these Jews were among
the host that rolled back from the
heights of Inkerman. In 1864 it
was decreed that the long beard,
caftan. girdle and cap of sable which
had been made obligatory. should
only be worn by those who took
out q license costing fifty rubles. A
few years after it was enacted that
the Jewish women should not cut
their hair upon their marriage and
wear head covering as had hereto
fore been their custom. In 1851 the
yoke was q little lightened by the
repeal of regulations which extorted
4 large sum as a sort of safe conduct
On leaving the Empire. But still,
until after the death of Nicholas
lnid the closing sccnes OF the Cri-
mean war, no Jew could possess
and in Russia, nor WIS his evidence
saken in a court of justice.
The rabbins did not enjoy the i'm
munity from flaggellation accorded
10 other religious teachers. One
child of each Jew family had to be
brought up as a Christian, aud resi-
hence in the holy cities Of Kieff and
Moscow was interdicted to Isralites.
But their liberties have grown with
he liberties of Russia, and the
rule exercised over them is now
comparatively clement. The Jew
sh population of the Empire in
,ludes some five-seventh of the whole
settled n Europe. Their
religion is tolerated; they are al
owed to erect synagogues they have
privileges, and carry on
much of the commerce of Russia.
At the same time no Jew can rise
lbove subaltern rank in the army.
They do not enter society. No
,oyar dimes with them or invites

"Yes, Sir. I'd shoot Him."

around a stove in Grand River
grocery the other night, and after

hausted, some one introduced that

"Why, in one of those panics.
Yes, sir, I'd give q new twenty dol

attempted to crowd or rush. One
cool man would check the panic in

While the subject was being con-
tinued the grocer withdrew to the
rear end of the store, poured a little
powder on a board, and gave three
or four men the wink. Directly
there was a bright fash, yells of

man sprang up and rushed. Hope
well didn't spring up and talk Of
shooting. On the contrary, he fell
over a lot of baskets Iiled up be-

When to Sell.

Without assuming to know more
than others when the farmer should
get rid of his crops, and whether
it is better to hold on to them await
ing a rise to what they are at one
time selling at, our idea is to sell as
soon as the crops are ready for mar
ket for the best price that can be
obtained ior them. We think it
even strange that there should be
any doubt about this, or that any
one who is asked for advice would
hesitate q moment what answer to
make, for there is no doubt in the
world, that as general rule, the
man who turns his money around
the quickets makes money the fast
est in the long run, and this is as
true in farming as in any other pur-
suit. Once in a while one makes
more money by holding on, and
in theory it seems best to hold on.
There are always large number
who must sell as soon as the crops
are ready. They have to sci, for
any price they can get in order to
meet accounts long since due. This
rushing in Of crops has tendency,
or ought to have, in making low
prices. But this is only theoretical.
1t is found by experience that, in
commercial phrase, these anticipa-
tions are always discounted" Ex-
perience shows that there is very
rarely any greater stock in the
grain trade that finds its way into
market than is about in fair de-
mand. The only chance to make
much money by holding on is when
one has means at hand to control
large lots, and thus in measure be
able to control his own prices; but
this happens so rarely that it is
consideration the average farmer
has nothing 10 do with.

A Burlington man recently we'd
ded young wife. The lady be-
came enthused over Will Carleton's
tale of the elopement of handsome
young woman with 'handsomer
man, and determined to try the
same herself. She wrote a neat little
note, stating that she had left home
with a gentleman whom she dearly
loved before she had met her hus-
band, and that he need not troub-
le himself to look for them. Then
she called in her younger brother
and went calling with him arrang-
ing to return and hide where she
could witness her liege lords dis
may when he came to read of her
flight. She from her place of con-
cealment saw him enter, saw him
look around in surprise at her abb
sense, and finally saw him discover
her note. He opened and read it,
while her heart beat high with ex-
citementin anticipation of the break
ing out she expected to hear.
The poor fellow finished the cruel
missive, tore it up and threw the
on the floor, and then,
without moments warning, drew
q revolver and fred point blank at
his breast, and fell without a sign of
life to the carpet. With . terrified
scream, the woman was at her hus-
bands side in a moment, lifting his
head, rolling him, shaking him,
turning him, hunting for blood, all
the time skrieking to her William to
speak to her, to forgive her, to only
look at her. William lay motionless,
however, and the neighborhood,
by the shot and screams,
came fiocking in to learn of the ex-
when . score or more had
the dead leaped up from
Ihe floor as well as ever, at which
The wife tainted away. She soon
revived, however, and then it all
came out that the younger brother,
being in sympathy with William
had let him into the scheme, and
he had chosen that mode of punish
ing his joking wife. She jokes no
more, but her husband has compro-
missed on pony phaeton to keep
peace in the family.
