0 Loving Hearts,

D. loving hearts! not priced when they were
ours!
Now lost 10 all but mcm'ry and to grief.
Gould we recall them, or those vanished
hours.
When they were with us, it were some
To those who mourn, who mourn. alas! too
late
For loving hearts!
We sigh and mourn aud sicken-yet no hand
Is stretched TO aid us. and no kindly voice
In gentle accents speaks Of hope. We stand
Aghast to feel and know we should rejoice
III death would summon uS-for all is past.
u loving hearts!
Rcmorse: All. yes, in that. we think and
And seek to find rclicf-but all in vain
Our sorrow for the past. Some wounds We
cannot heal.
Our wcaried hearts may pant. but not
complain:
We may aot spcak-wc only sigh too late
For loving hearts.
They once were ours, those lOying hearts now
lost
ITO all save mem'ry but a mockug dreaml.
They come to haunt us, when TOO sadly lost
Upon our sleepless couch. We fain would
deem
They once again were with us. but too late.
o loving heartsl
Ic may not hear us. and yc may not know
or our wild heart beats, and our useless
tears.
They should have COME before: the tears that
Are acrid now-thcy cannot CAIN our
fears,
Nor case our troubled hearts. All, all is
raSt.
Glowing hearts!

The Modest Saver of l63 Liyes.


a modest hero has been discovered
at Philadelphia in stevedore, who
has saved the astonishing number of
1853 men and boys from drowning, and
never made any fuss about it. He is
called Freddy" Shannon, and he lives
in humble frame tenement near the
wharves, and there most of his life-say-
ing work has been done. They are
always tumbling in about here" he re-
marked to reporter; land it's nv ma.

shannon seemed surprised that he
should be asked if he was ever given
anything by people whom he saved.

is endeavoring to obtain a government
medal for Shannon. "Reddy" declares
that he would rather have u chance to

tice. On board the Elbe we had =
grand, great yellow cat in the after
part of the ship-for cats have their
own well defined homes atloat as ashore
and resent intrusion within their boun-
daries from feline rivals quite as
conservatively as their brethren who
enjoy the blessings of the land. Sandy
then reigned over the saloon sand quar-
ter deck and was the most accomplish
ed and gentlemanly cat ever was ac-
quaintcd with. One morning while we
were lying in the Scheldt abreast of
Antwerp. Sandy was seated on the rail,
watching the Decentralization of the
cargo and various operations of the
small craft which surrounded the steam
er, with that responsible air of general
superintendent which distinguished
him. when he suddenly caught sight of
q rat in one of the lighters alongside.
Without y moments hesitation he
sprang down from the rail sheer into
the lighters cargo space, descent of
nearly 30 feet, perhaps more. As may
be expected, he was nearly killed by
the fall and lay for days almost insen-
sible, but we nursed him around again
with beef tea and brandy. The other
incident was horrible. had brought
an old cat with me-. on joining q certain
rat-ridden ship, knowing him to be u
good sporting animal; it was not mine,
but one had borrowed for the voyage
on hearing the vessels reputation for
natural history. She was fairly over
run with vermin from stem to stern,
but it appeared that there was an ex-
traordinary concentration of the ratty
element in the store rooms underneath
the fore-peak. Nothing served to re-
strain their depredations or to diminish
their numbers or audacity; it was
scarcely safe to venture down there.
and the storekeeper was at his wits end
to know how to protect the articles I'M
der his charge. At length he asked me
to allow him to put Tim down there at
night, not so much in the hope of de-
stroying the rats as of soaring them
away. Tim was therefore conducted
thither before the gratings were put on,
and left with his saucer of bread and
milk, his mat and no lack of company.
In the morning nothing remained OF
him but some gnawed bones and some
scraps of fur.-4W Ihc Year Round.

1t is n rule in fruit culture. that a
tree should not carry any greater
weight of fruit than its branches can
sustain. Still, with some rapidly
swelling fruits, peach and plums cS-
pecially. however thoroughly thinning.
may have been done, it is often found,
as the fruit ripens. that the weight is
too great, and the branches, unless they
are supported, will break down with
the load of fruit. The usual method of
supporting overladen fruit trees is to
place long stakes, with a fork at the
top, beneath them. A much better and
more simple method of effecting tho
purpose, is suggested by DR.. S. Niease,
OF Lebanon, Pa. Instead of using sew
eral stakes. one to each principal
branch, he places 4 single strong pole
against the trunk of the tree. The
lower end of the pole, if desired, NAV
be sunk few inches in the soil, for adj
ditlonal support but usually it will be
sufficient TO secure it to the trunk by
means of straw bands, or other ties that
will not bruise the bark. The pole be-
ing secured, the dropping branches are
relieved by means of ties made fast to
it. DIR. M. states that this method of
tying up the branches of overloaded
trees is especially useful in storms, the
support being central, and more natur-
al than where several props are used.-

Ten Tie story, the hands of their chill

and blessed with grateful memories.
That was more than two centuries
ago, and in many church to-day there
looks down from the painted windows,
whose light falls in amber and violet
tints over altar, and chancel, and nave,

with crown of golden hair; and, if you

The Death of Ex-Governor Swami.

thorough politician, he was gifted with
an executive capacity and broad business
wisdom thai are rarely found in combina-
ton in ordinary political life He was
not what is called a great man, but he has
substantial good than most great men ac-
compish. His public life was two-sided
and the sides were anything but counter
parts of each other. But it must be adj
mitted that he is entitled to the credit OF
having aloned in later life for many OF
his earlier political errors, and his clear
instincts and perceptions enub ed him so
to direct his course as to retain his popu-
larity in spite of record that would have
