Miseries of a Mean Man.

Sometimes | wonder what mean
man thinks about when he goes TO bed,
says Burdette in the Ha~keye. When
he turns out the light and lies down.
when the darkness closes in about him
and he is alone, and compelled to be
honest with himself, and not bright
thought, not a generous impulse. not
manly act, not word of blessing, not
grateful look comes to bless again. Not
a penny dropped in the oatstretched
palm of poverty, nor the balm Of a low
ing word dropped into an aching heart;
no sunshine Of encouragement cast upon
u struggling life no strong right hand
of fellow reached out to help some fallen
man 20 his feet--when none Of these
things come to him as the God bless
you" Of the departed day, how he must
hate himself How he mist try to roll
away from himself and sleep on the
other side of the bed When the only
victory he can think of is SEINE mean
victory in which he has wrenged his
neighbor. No wonder he always sucers
when he tries to smile. How pure and
fair and good all the rest Of the world
must look to him and how cherries
ana dusty and dreary must his own path
appear. Why, even one lone, isolated
act of meanness is enough to scatter
cracker crumbs in the bed of the aver
age, ordinary man, and what must be
the feeling of man whose whole life is

REST.

REST.
There is no rest. IT'S but an empty sound
A dream all shadowless the world around.
Unrest is normal. Every orb or ray,
Greater or less that beams by night or day,
Sun, moon or star that burns through end
less space,
Each In its course runs one eternal race.
God never rests-eternal vigil keeps;
The Eye All-Sesing SAUNDERS not, nor sleeps;
All things obedient to one Lofty Soul,
Move ever restless as the ages roll.
Unrest is ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS :
Rest is but death--cessation is decay.
Unrest is real. The glorious Power that
y spanned
Themighsy faorlc Of the skies and planned
The architectural glories, far and near,
That deck each world and ornament each
sphere,
Is constant in work supreme, sublime,
In restless glory through resistess time.
lnefe is no rest III All tHc Tcultns VI illt'
Man is an epitome of endless strife;
The heated words which drop from human
tongues,
The breath that parts the lips and fills the
lungs,
Each heart-throb, each pulsation, every thrill
OF Joy or sorrow, leaves him restless still.
There is no rest, nor can rest e'er prevail
The worlds in motion-mountain, forest,
vale;
The wondrous oceans restless currents roll
Around the sea- washed world from pole to
pole;
The cloud, the storm, the darkness and the
light
Proclaim the resistless force and restless
might.
There may be peace the world in stiffness
may,
And awful silence, pass the years away;
Long centuries hide in Times eternal
breast
Peace, silence, stiffness aIl-but never rest.
Rest is the mildew, the corroding rust,
Hopes fading ashes and loves crnmblinp
dust

A Relic of Aaron Burr.
Rachel Storrs, an elderly lady, the
last living relative of Aaron Burr, re-
Gently offered for sale historic sword
by an advertisement in Cincinnati
paper. She was visited by gentle
man having fondness for relics but
the necessity for selling the sword had
passed by an opportune legacy from a
deceased relative, which had furnished
an income to the lady sufficient to her
wants and she had determined to retain
it TO the last.
The sword was the one carried off by
Burr from the field at the storming Of
Quebec, on the night Of December 3lst,
1775. 1t bears the name Of General
LaCroix, with the date effaced. There
are diamonds in the hilt, forming the
eyes a of Nilish serpent.
The old lady became eloquent in her
"reminiscences of the youthful Burr, who
Joined Arnold as volunteer in the ex-
pedition to CANADA. She described the
action of the boy hero in attempting to
carry off Gen. Montgomery from the
field after he had received the wound
that had proved mortal, and feelingly
remarked "America is great in his
toric memories. and she delights in re-
Numbering valorous deeds, but no voice
is raised in eulogy of the peerless con-
duct of Aaron Burr at gloomy Quebec.
The people of the colony, indeed, would
have iAourned MS those without hope had
bullet bereft them Of this dauntless
soul just as he grasped the colors of that
trophy. which to-day, l04 years later,
casts but blackeBed shadow around
his unwept name.
The remarkable lady also has a por-
trait of Aaron Burr, painted by Villiers,
when he made bis home in New Orleans,
and also a ring. Both these articles
we're given to her mother by Aaron
Burr to be preserved for his daughter,
afterwards married to Mr.. Aston. Hei

Sioux City journal: A railroad man
who was somewhat behind the scenes
during recent visit to Chicago says the
Illinois Central has not yet renewed the
lease of its Iowa division, nor does it care
to renew at the present rental. 80 per
cent of the gross earnings. The company
is willing to renew on the basis of 80 per
cent of the earnings The operating ex-
penses are stated at so per cent OF the
earnings, which with the rental of 30 per
cent leaves but per cent. This narrow
margin might be reduced so as to make
the balance on the other side with a bad
crop or two. ? In fact until within the last
year or two, the Iowa division was act
ually operated at loss, and was only
retained with the hope that it might dc
better-it is doing better now-and be-
cause it brought business to the Other
lines of the company. 1t is stated by this
railroad man that about the Esd inst. 9
party interested in the Illinois Central
will come west over the Iowa division, and
on their observations will much dep end
the renewal of the lease. If the lease is
renewed, he says the Illinois Central will
push out some branches

A Lively Meeting.

The city "dads" had a lively time at the
special meeting last evening, while the
anti-whistling ordinance was under dis
cussion. Each alderman had something
to say on the subject. A petition was read
by the clerk signed by 485 persons asking
that the part of the ordinance relating to
stationary whistles be repealed. After
considerable discussion the petition was
referred to the ordinance committee.
The council did sensible thing in di-
recting the laying of new pipe from the
water works building to the slough, to be
used in case of an emergency. At the
present stage of the water the supply is
liable to be cut off at any moment. The
laying of this extra pipe has been urged
by Superintendent Kerr ever since he
took charge of the works, and also the
extension of the present pipe Owing to
the low stage of the water, the council
have found it Necessary, to insure safety,
to act on the superintendent suggestions.
