A prominent Harvard professor went
into the old Cambridge postofice, not

The wife is buried in Fanure graveyard,
mile from here. After her death John
Burke moved into the cabin he now lies
in. For fourteen years he had lived IN
it. Latterly he has been engaged in
breaking stones for the pike.
Last Thursday week he hurt his right
arm. He worked on with his left hand.
His 20 cents per day was SO small that
he could save nothing of it; and, there
fore, he needed every days wages for
food. The arm got worse That Satur-
day he saw a poor-law guardian named
Jennings, and told him of his condition.
All this time, for weeks before, he had
been sleeping in the old cabin. On
Monday he was unable to leave his
straw under the side of the wall.
The day that the poor law guardian,
Jennings, learned of Burke's condition,
be it said to his credit, he told the out
door relief agent, James Reacham, that
the man needed him. Notwithstanding
| that, Reacham never went near Burke
until last Saturday, eight days after he
had been notified. Had it not been for
the neighbors, who were but very little
better off than the sick old man, he
would have died of starvation within
three miles of the poor agents house.
On Thursday last the landlord, Mr..
Michael I. DAILY, heard OF the condition
of the man who had been his servant for
about forty years. His large heart
prompted him to go on the next day,
Friday, to see him. He walked into
that pen, and stood under that half-roof
shed, and asked John Burke if he would
let MIN send him to the workhouse.
The veins welled in his wan forehead,
and, raising himself on his left arm, he
said to the landlord:
"Why should /? Didn't the wife
and me live here for thirty years to-
gether? She is buried only down there
at Fanure. Why should ] If l am 60
ing to die, I would rather die here.
Don't you know that poor old woman,
who wanted to go to the workhouse, was
neglected for several days, and left with
out food until she was so weak that she
died on the way, in the van? Why
should II"
Mr.. DAILY was not to be stopped, how
ever, and on Saturday, two days after he
had heard of the mans condition, he
sent word to the poor agent to go and
give something to his starving tenant.
On Saturday the case came up before
the board of guardians. The agent was
told to be more careful, and that even
ing he went out and gave John Burke
two shillings.
On Sunday, while the gentleman and
myself were there, the work house van
came to take John Burke away. His
arm at that time was swollen and had
the appearance of erysipelas. He again
refused to go, saying that all he wanted
was food and medicine to cure his arm,
and that he would get well in few
days; that he had no sickness bat the
arm.
The system of the poor-law people is
to let as many die as possible; and 1t Is
working successfully right around here.

An Armored Train.

The successful use by English troops
during the Egyptian war of some hast
ly-armed railway trucks drawn by an
iron-clad engine has induced the Span
ish government to order the immediate
construction of specially designed
train, which in time of war will be avail
able not only as a means of rapid trans
port for the men engaged in the cutting
and repairing of railway lines, bat also
as depot for engineering stores, and as
a movable fortress. The train will con-
sist of twentY-six trucks, upon which
will be placed bullet-proof carpenters
shops and forges, magazines for food,
implements, ammunition and explosives,
some iron boats and pontoons, power
full crane, complete electric lighting
apparatus, quantity of telegraph plant,
and several tield guns. The trucks will
be provided with high sides, which will
be iron-clad and loopholed, and motive
power will be supplied by two heavily
armored engines, one on each end of the
train. This novel man-of-war will have
a crew of officers and 166 men, all Of
whom will, in case of need, eat and sleep
on board, and arrangements will be
made for the further accommodation, if
necessary, of another hundred men.

No T,ime Should ne Lost

When the first twinges of rheumatism are felt. An
effectua means of counteracting it is presented in
Hosteters Stomach Bitters, avouched, on competent
medical authority, to be reliable specific for this
disease. 1t eliminates from the system, through its
depurating action upon the blood acrid impurities
to the presence OF which eminent medical authors
refer the pain and Inflammation which attend this
atrocious malady. AS obstinacy less than griev-
GUS pain, is characteristic of rheumatism the pro-
ventive named should be used at the outset to check
its further growth. Besides purifying the circula-
ton, it helps to enrich it by assisting digestion The
medicine is also used with signal benefit for liver
complaint, constipation debility, nervous ailments
and kidney troubles. BY renewing depleted strength
and establishing regularity in the more important
bodily organs, it tends to fOrtify the constitution
especially against those forms of disease which the
debilitated are most prone to incur

IN THE HAMMOCK.

Sc lazily swinging and swinging,
in the shade of the maple trees,
While the perfume of roses is waited
On the wings of the evening breeze;
While the sun in it's golden glory
Seems close to the hilltops pressed,
And the feecy cloudlets are sailing
Away 20 the glowing west.
. Wind. that is scarcely stirring
The leaves as you rustic by,
Will Won let me whisper my wishes,
AS afar to The south you fly?
That you take from my lips their kisses,
And out from my heart its prayer
Then away to my absent dear ones
With your burden of love repair.
And when you've borne them my greeting,
o linger awhile, and see
If eyes or voice is betraying
single thought of me.
And. if you hear them whisper
My name, as their lips you greet,
Speed back to me, gentle south wind,
And tell me your story sweet.
So, swinging and swinging, and watching
'Twixt the leaves the blue of the sky,
And hearing the patter over the stones
OF the brook in the woodland nigh,
think of home and my loved ones,
dream of peace and rest,
And seem so near to God, as gaze
On the radiant, golden west.
