No USE IN LOOKING
BACK.

There's no use in looking back
Ger the way that we have Travelled,
There's no use id going over
All our sOrrows, draped in black;
What our yesterdays have brought us,
What our yesterdays have taught US,
Will be of NO advantage
If we're always looking back.
There's no use in looking back,
Every day and date recalling:
Twas here we made good progress,
Twas there we left the track
Not by constant retrospection
Will we ever reach perfection =:
The past is ours NO longer,
There's no use in looking back.
There's no use in locking back,
Be the furrow straight or crooked,
Lest we should be disheartened
And strength and courage lack;
Through paths not always pleasant
We reach the golden. present
The goal is still before us,
There's no use in looking back.
There's no use in looking back,
Aud remembering with horroe
Those weary days and hours
When ths soul was OF the rack
For he who wins life's prizes
From grief and gloom arises,
And early learns the lesson g
There's NJ use in looking back.
Well never reach the mountain
If We linger in the valley
Well never win the battle
If we never mako attack ;;
And the foes we put behind us
May seek but fail to find us,
If we overcome the habit
Of forever looking back.

of their duties A series of rules framed 10 ac-

offices of the public service to which the statute
relates. The statute related in its original form
to the classified clerkships in the several exec

customs districts and postoffiGes where as
many as fifty persons arc employed A CLASH
tication of these Positions analogous TO that OK
listing in the Washington offices, was duly made

districts and twenty three postoitices were
thus brought under the immediate operation

SENATE After yesterdays avalanche o
bills in the senate il was thought that thest
pests were disposed of for some time; but as
soon as the chaplain finished to-day there
were cries of "Mr. President from all parts
of the chamber by senator's anxious to
serve their constituents. Consequently an
other torrent of bills, the maj 1rIty relics oi
the last seSsi IN, was poure upon the score

nearly two hours this business was contin-
uej.
Mr. Morgan offered resolution, which
was agreed to, instructing the committee
on Indian affairs to inquire into the expedi-
eBcy of creating military academy west oil
The Mississippi river, for training and edu-
eating Indian youths and men up to a
proper age. as soldiers, and tn admit then,
when qualified into the regular army.
House MIR. Randall objected 10 tbs
passage of a resolution for the immediate
appropriation of $40, O09 for printing thC
records of the United States supreme court
and it was referred to the committee of the
whole. He said all deficienc es should
have thorough investigation, not only by
the house, but by an appropriate com
mittee. He had a horror OF dehcien.
cies. The Virginia contested cleo
tion case, Garrison VS.. Mayo, was referred
to the committee on elections, when ap-
pointed, with instructions to report the le
gal questions involved therein. IL Was or
dered that when the house adiourns to-
morrow it be to meet Monday.

The Story of the Book Agent

A Philadelphia book agent impor-
tuned James Watson, a rich and close
New York man, living out at Elizabeth,
until he bought a book-the Early
Christian Martyrs" Mr.. Watson didn't
want the book, but he bought it to get
rid of the agent; then taking it under
his arm, he started for the train which
takes him to his New York office.
Mr.. Watson hadn't been gone long be-
fore Mrs. Watson came home from a
neighbours. The book agent saw her,
and went in and persuaded the wife te
to buy another copy of the same book!
She was ignorant of the fact that her
husband had bought the same book in
the morning When Mr.. Watson came
back from New York at night Mrs. Wat.
son showed him the book.
II don't want to see it." said Watson
frowning terribly.
"Why, huspand?" asked his wife.
because that raseally book agent sold
me the same book this iaorhing. Now
we've got two copies of the same book
two copies of the Early Christian
Martyrs and"
"But, husband. we can"

train before this. Confound it! / could
kill the fellow. l."
"Wby, there he goes to the depot
now" said Mrs. Watson, pointing out of
the window at the retreating form OF the
book agent making for the train.
but its too late to catch him, and
I'm not dressed. I've taken off my
boots, and"
Just then Mr.. Stevens. neighbor of
Mr.. Watson, drove by, VIII en- Watson
pounded on the window-pane in fran
tic manner, almost frightening the horse.
"Here, Stevens" he shouted, you're
hitched up; Won't you run your horse
down to the train and hold that book
agent till [ come? RUM Catch i'm noww
"All right" said Mr.. Stevens, whip
ping up his horse and tearing down the
road.
Mr.. Stevens reached the train just as
the conductor shouted ''all aboard"
Book AGENT" he yelled, as the book
agent stepped on to the train. Book
agent hold on! Mr.. Watson wants TO
see you"
"Watson? Watson wants to see me?"
repeated the seemingly puzzled book
agent. "0h, know what he wantsl he
wants to buy one of my books; but can't
miss the train to sell it him"
elf that is all he wants, l can pay for
it and take it back to him. How much
is i'll"
Two dollars for the Early Christian
Martyrs said the hook agent, as he
res he'd for the money and passed the
book out through the car window.
Just then Mr.. Watson arrived, putting
and blowing in his shirt sleeves. As be
saw the train pull out he was too full for
ulterance.
''well, 1 got it for you," said Stevens;
''iust got il and that's all"
Got wbat?F yelled Watson.

tian Martyrs and"
"By-the-great-gu usl" moaned Wat
son, as he placed his hand to his brow,
and swooned right in the middle of the
street.
