Along the shelEWreathed, shining strand
The old and young went to and fro;
The sinking sun filled all the land
With evenings rich and ru,dy glow.
The hot clouds in the amber west
Lit up the Sea-kiSsed Shingly bars,
And weary ones who l0nged for rest
Waited the dawning OF the stars.
There came the murmur of the sea
Along the soft sands OF the shore;
twas laden with deep mystery,
And music strange was in its roar.
And, as the voices OF its waves
Were borne upon the listening ears,
They sang alike Of songs and graves,
Or sunny hearts and sacred tears.
There passed a little blue-eyed boy,
AS sank the sun on oceans brm:
Eaught out the sound OF endless Joy
Across the red waves came to him.
For his bright fancy chased the sun
Ger seas OF emerald and gold:
And the sweet life he had begun.
Its first fair scenes had now unrolled.
With merry heart a maiden came,
The shining, Slnlit sands along.
To her the sea bore one dear name
Amidst the burden of its song:
And the ten thousand gatherings
That stretched across the sunlit bay,
Seemed messengers on golden wings
From her true loved one far away.
There came a man Of full four-score
Into the twilight all alone,
To him the sea broke on The shore
With solemn sway and Sullen moan;
The voices of the bygonc years
Came family on its sad refrain;
Yet when he called, mid rising tears,
On friends, they answered not again.
Still sank the sun. Then rose the stars.
And looked down Oh The cold gray shore;
Still SOlemnly the, moaning bars
Walled low their music us OF yOre.
And some with sad eyes met the night,
TO pass its watches all fOrorn;
And some there slept mid visions bright
Till daWned the fragrant, rosy morn.

CHITECESyI IN PEORIA.
How Nat Goodwin and Miss Wealth
ersby Impressed u Scribe.

From the Peoria Call
The House was good one that greeted the
GoOdwins in their great play Of 'Hobbes." The
company is small but good. There are one or
two members, 1t is true. who will never earn
more than $40 week and board; but they are
careful to observe two great requisites; they all
say ''pOOr ge-yurl," and each talk to the audi
ence instead of each other. All good actors
say ge-yurl; and all coed actors talk to
the audience. This shows that they are
not afraid Of the audience. Mr.. Good
win himself has lost double tooth
on the upper jaw. which any dentist in Peoria
would willingly replace for S12 so on vulcante
base. He ought either to get new tooth or re-
frain from smiling so far on the left side of his
mouth. We throw out this suggestion. not in a
spirit of faultfnding. with a sincere desire to do
Mr.. Goodwin service. When Mrs. Goodwin
made her appearance dressed in the airy cos
tune of a circus performer we observed four
churchmen and a member of the board Of trade
get up quietly and 90 out
The fairy who travels with this company Is
without doubt the homeliest and most sab-sidcd
fairy that was ever turned loose She is mrac-
ulOusy and sinfully angular. Her salary GER
tainly cannot be less than 517 Il week and eX-
penses. We get these particulars from Sam Pat
ton. the stage manager. and have nOt.the least
doubt OF their correctness.

He has been accustomed Othe ponderOus ESSAYS

of the American newspaper in treating current

1t would not be difficult to fill newspaper
with editorial essays after the manner OF the
London press. but not one i'm hundred SUBJ
scribers would read them. however ably writ

and the greater the variety the better. He
wants it. also. served up in brief so that before
going to his business he can sean the columns

He feels entirely competent to draw his own
conclusions. What he wants is the facts and
his intelligence supplies the rest. Occasionally
complications may arise where editorial eXpla-

though they arc yet a good ways from the

ment of subjects will seek for it in magazines
and periodicals specially devoted to them. First

Mexican

Correspondence of the Cleveland Herald.
Every Mexican household has great number
of servants In proportion to the size of the
family, and how they all occupy themselves is a
mystery. There is one creadO whose sole bust
ness is to make tortias; another to do
the marketing and act as steward another who
does nothing but cook; another to wash;
another to keep the house tidy; others to wait
on table and at tend the children. to brush the
mistress hair and shake the dust from her
dresses (Which literally sweep the dirty streets
being considered dreadtully immOdest), besides
gardeners, hOstlers. Wallets, etc. But servant
keeping is very different thing in Mexico than
In the United States. Here they do not require
out and company in. nor grow SO important
that their employer is barely allowed to remain
providing she Is sufficiently polite Mexican
creadOs consider 81 per month q munifcent
salary, and in time get rich on it. according to
their ideas of wealth. They Sleep rolled up
in their sarapas, on the floor, in the court,
wherever 1t is most convenient require few
clothes. and those generally the gifts or cast-Off
garments of their employers, and are invariably
piOus and apparently cOntented. Indeed,
have observed that the poorer they are and the
lower down in the social scale, the more piOus
and cOntented they are sure to be. AS a class
they are the most honest, obliging and simple
hearted folk ever met. Each wears suspended
around the neck his or her precious charm
which has been blessed by the priest, and says
his prayers and tells his beads devOutly many
times day. When annOyances arise or dangers
threaten. the words Balga me- Dios-'Protect
me. GOd"-rise to their lips as naturally as
sparks fly upward. Happy people! How gladly
would most Ofus exchange our struggles with
the world and the little we have gained in the
way OF knowledge for their unquestioning faith
and the contented poverty which aspires to no
hlgher lot. Whatever may be said OF Catholic
ism, it is surely good in this-that the ignorant
and lowly are made better by its supersttions

lives by them and die in calm content

A STRAIGHT Man.
[From the Detroit Free Press

A chap who pumped off the wharf at
the foot of Randolph Street the other
day was promptly pulled out by three or
four men who witnessed the action, and
when the victim was safe on the planks
one of the men remarked:
"Did you fall in ?'
''No, sir; jumped in %
did you intend to commit suicide?''
,"No, sir"
&c But you must have been tired of
life to take that leap. Tell US your
troubles. and perhaps we can assist you -

a glass of whisky which boy
had run for, I'm a man of straight
business principles. I've jumped off the
docks along here some six or seven times
this spring. I'm always sure OF beng

whisky, andthe cash collection runs from

"Well you won't get no cash out of
this crowd" sail one of the men.

A Too Film Daisy,
TFrom the New York Sun ]


A fabby- faced man walked into an ele-
waited railway car with a somewhat COM
plicated step and dropped heavily into
seat. Presently he looked around
upon the other passengers, burst into a
gladstone smile, and muttered:
"I'm a large daisy, that's what am;
large and beautiful daisy"
Then he winked with intense suggest
iveness at a highly respectable maiden
lady of rigid outline aud acrimonious as
pect, laughed with great amusement,
and fell fast asleep The train stopped
suddenly at the next station, and he
lunged over against a dainty young
school girl who was sitting next to him.
"Skuse me, he said thickly. "Noz-
zen tn mazzer, is there?" The girl
shrank nervously from him. This
seemed to affect the man deeply, and he
gazed at her with blear-eyed pathOs for
long time and then plunged his hand
into his pockets and brought out hand
full of loose tobacco, which he offered to
her with every manifestation of good
will.
Long cut, he said, "help yerself. F"
At this point a Jointly little brakeman,
with thin neck, waxed mustache and
high heeled boots, who had been watch
ing the hospitable passenger from the
platform, strutted into the car, tapped
him on the shoulder, and remarked in a
falsetto voice:
Look-a-here, young felier, you
don't own the road, y understan' An
you're too flip, you are. You amt got
no right to annoy the ladies. You want
to drop on it, d'y' understan' ?"
eyes, my friend" said the man,
drowsily, 81 y'understan'.
The brakeman glanced around with a
triumphal air, and strobe maiestically
toward the door. When be had gone
half way the man raised his eyelids
slightly and yelled, at the top of his
voice:
"Hoop la, there! Bf1"
The brakeman wheeled around with a
great show of ferocity, but the mans
face was innocent, child-like, and bland.
There was about 1t not the slightest in
dication of guile. Apparently he placid
| ly slept. The brakeman lowered over
him for moment, and started again for
the door. As he passed out the mans
mouth opened and a frightful shrek
| issued from MS lips. once more the
brakeman turned, but the face of the
man was pure and above suspicion. This
time the brakeman beckoned another
employe from the rear car. Then he
walked slowly forward while the other
brakeman EDGED slowly up toward the
innocent looking man. The man craftily
opened his off eye and watched the re-
treat of the first brakeman. Then he
| howled:
/" Yerp! BingP'
But the second brakeman was upon
him, and when the train stopped at
Blocker Street he was unceremoniously
put off. He stood on the platform and
as the train rolled away said:

turned the fire. Piucky as she is fair,
Miss Gamble not only fred at him again
but, on his turning to run, sprang out
