A VOICE FROM THE FARM.

you say that my life Is a round OF toil?"
The stHlwart farmer said;
"That scarce can wrest from the oft-tilled soil
My pittance Of daily bread?
Well, what you tell me in part is true;
am seldom an idle man,
But value the blessings Of rest as you,
Who have much OF IT., never can.
"And surely never have worked in vain
From the spring to the golden Fall;
The harvest has ever brought waving grain,
Enough and to spare for ALL
And when in the evening, freed from care,
l sec at my farm house door
My wife and little ones waiting there,
Oh, what has the millionaire more?
any children may never have boarded wealth
Their lives may at times be rough;
But II in their home the! !have love and health
They will find these riches enough.
The only land they will ever own
Is the land that the strong right arm
And the patient, fearless heart alone
Can tn 10 a fertile farm.
al have nothing beyond my simple wants
And little for cloudy days;
But no grim specter my homestead haunts
Such as silver and gold might raise.
Around me are eyes that with sparkling mirth
Or with placid contentment shine,
And no wcalth-Cloggcd lord upon all the earth
Has a lot more blessed than mine.
"Oh! yes, I'm lHbOring all day long,
with the mind and the muscle too;
But thank the Lord, who has made me strong
And given me work to do!
For what, indeed, is the idle drone
But vampire on the land,
Rcaping fruit that by others was sown,
And not by his own right hand ?"

case as have evcrencountered."
The speaker was leaning his elbow
on the counter of the Blue Dragon,
and addressing himself to gentle
man who was seated on stool by
his side.

Why, that lady, sir-I always calls
her lady, because you can easily
see as she is such-that lady, sir, she

AT first she gave me two or three

About wooden TOOthPieks,

One gets so used to seeing wooden
toOthpicks at restaurants that he
looks upon them as things of course.
He never thinks that their manufac-
ture forms an important branch Of
industry, hut, nevertheless, such is
the case. These tOOthpicks are made
principally in the New England
States and New Jersey. They are
manufactured by the same process as
are match-stems, and are usually
made in the same factories. The
material used in their manufacture
is white maple or poplar, as both Of
these woods are tasteless. They arc
put in boxes Of 1000 each, and sell
for fifteen cents box. Restaurants
use from 1900 to 1000 tOothpicks in
week. Because they are so cheap
and so bOuntifully supplied, people
take by the handful. They are very
annoying as tOothplcks, for it is all
most impossible to keep the splinters
from getting wedged between the
teeth. At DelmonicO's and some
first-class and costly restaurants, the
guests are supplied with delicate
quilts, which are much more satis-
factory, II they are more expensive.
Wooden tOothpicks. have only been
used about ten or twelve years.
When they were first invented there
were only one or two factories where
they were made, and they cost a
great deal more than they do now.

fioated up and down with the tide.
There was a wound across the fore
head another, two inches deep un-
der the shoulder blade; and Il third
under the right side. As to whether
the wounds hal heen made before or
after death, there was difference of
opinion. One doctor said before, and
another doctor said after. The body
had been so long in the water that it
was really impossible to ascertain
the truth.
"Well, gentlemen" said the smiI-
ing Coroner to the twelve good men
and true, "this is one of those cases
of which we have had sadly too
many of late. A body is found in
the water, and there is not the least
jot of evidence to show how it got
there ; nor does there seem to be any

| think, is tolerably clear. This man
may have been murdered, or he may
have committed suicide. We must
leave further investigation to the
police. Your verdict, Isuppose, will
be found drowned"
The jury were unanimously of the
opinion that this was the only ver-
dict possible under the circumstances;
so the body, which was dressed in
linen marked J. r., was buried by
the parish, with the keeper of the
mOrtuary for chief mourner, and II
paragraph in the newspapers for
epitaph.

The Coroner was holding inquest
at Lambeth. Twelve good men and
true were seated around a table at
the Blue Dragon. They had just
been to the mortuary in the parish
church-yard, where, in a deal coffin,
painted black, and with a pane of
glass in the lid, they saw the body
of man, black, bruised, sodden,
dead, as the doctors declared, for at
least fourteen days.
The body had been picked up just
above Waterloo bridge y two barge
men. Their barge was floating up
sideways with the tide, and they
were smoking the pipe of peace.
One of them noticed a black patch
in the water, about five yards away.
"What's that ?" said he to his
mate.
Themate took his pipe out of his
mouth and looked in the direction
of the black patch. r
Clocks like a head" he said.
"AnOther one Of them suicides,
reckon. suppose we shall have to
pull it out Reach US boat-hook. D."
81 dunno about pulling it out, "
said the mate. "What do they pay
for them things "'
give bob, and half a crown for
evidence"
"Well, if you want my opinion, it
had better be left where it is. For
that 3 bob we shall have to come
down from Rattersea."
"Well, it'll be bit Of a trip. Let's
have it out" and, grasping a boat
hook, the blrgeman began to reach
out toward the black patch in the
water.
The passengers waiting for the
boat at Lambeth pier, shrank away
in horror when dead body was
brought ashore. The jurymen viewed
it merely as a matter of form. The
evidence given before them in the
Blue Dragon amounted to this:
Two hargemen had found the b)dy
and brought it ashore. 1t was the
third in a week.
Two policemen testified that it was
respectfully clothed ; that the pockets
were empty; that the clothes con-
tained no books or papers or other
means of identification, and the
linen was marked J. II.
Two doctors were of opinion that
the body had been in the water fol
fully fortnight, It must have

"How many plain, unvarnished
faces of meD do we look at, unknOw-
ing of murder behind those eyes |"
The words are Thackeray's. They
had come into James Rosewarne's
mind in some "longshore" wander
ing theneighbOrhOOd of Limehouse.
Not that the faces Of most Of the
men whom he had encountered were
either unvarnished or plain. On the
contrary, they generally shone with
grease and dirt and perspiration, and
were scored all over with the signs
of vice and evil passions and rude
living. It was the faces that he no
ticed most-cruel, mean, faces, with
weak chins and scOwling eyes, and
great mouths and ears, and small
foreheais matt,d over with hair.

Honest men enough, the owners Of

ROsewarne had wandered about
for a great part of the day, obscrv-
ing, questionining, making notes.
lie was getting very tired his head
ached, his feet seemed getting too
large for his boots but he would see
it all out, this peculiar show that in
terested him 50 much. Matter for
an article! There was matter for a
book.
1t was getting dark. He heard a
hurried, disorderly tramp behind
him. Then he saw a gang Of youth,
some of them armed with leather
belts, some with sticks, some with
clubs with lead at the end. They
came along toward him, and he
grAsped his OWL stick more tiiHAy.
AS the leaders of the gang passed
him they looked into his face. 9th
ers fingered for a while, as if wait
ing for a signal. Then he heard
words of consultation.
"What cove is that ?" said one.
"Looks fiy," said a third.
detective, p'r'aps," said another.
This view Of James ROsewarne's
character seemed to meet with gen.
eral approval, for there was a shrill
whistle, and the gang passed on. "A
policeman, with slow, heavy tread,
approached him, scanned him mar
rOwlY, and followed in the wake of
the gang. After going few yards
he turned, passed ROsewarne again,
seemed to be satisfied, and went on
out of sight. 1t is not usual for
well-dressed men to venture alone
in such neighbOrhOod after dark,
and the policeman was suspicious.
Clearly, however, the stranger meant
no harm.
James ROSewarne wandered 10y
the riverside until far in the night,
among boats and mud and slime
and rotten quays and ruined build
ings and dismal streets. He had nc
intention of staying out so long, but
the place had made Il weird impres,
sion on him, which, in his present
mood, he enjoyed. Wandering by
the riverside at nighttime seemed ;
proper employment for man who
could find nothing better to do. HC
seemed to fall into strange sympathy
with his odd circumstances and be
fore his eyes there rose pictures o
his pleasant home at StudbOrougl
and of the wife who had that day
written a letter to cheer him, and Of
the little dark-eyed daughter, who
as that letter said, made continual
inquiry, as to "when dada would
come home"
He was passing some quaint
gabled houses that looked myster-
Ously picturesque in the moonlight.
A lamp at the corner shot ray of
light downward and showed him
his own loneliness. A man. came
ont of one of the alleys that led from
the street and again disappeared.
Then the silence was rent by the
shrill scream of a woman. The
man again came out of the alley
breathless.
"COme and lend us a hand, will
you, guv'nor? She's fell down stairs
and hurt herself"
James RosewarnG did not stop to
consider, but followed the man into
the dark alley to give what help he
could.
