HE'LL WIN AT LAST.

I wouldna gle copper plack
For ony man that turns his back
Onduty clear:
wouldna take his word or note. b.
Iwouldna trust him for groat, -
Nor lift an oar in ony boat
Which he might steer.
When things are just as things should be,
And fortune gies man the plea,
s Where er he be;
It isna hard to understand
How he may walk through house and land
WI cheerful lace and open hand,
Continually.
But when, i spite o wark and care
A man must loss and failure bear, M
He merits praise.
Who will not to misfortune bow,
Who cocks his bonnet on his brow,
And fights and fights he kenna how,
Through long, hard days.
Iwouldna gle an auld bawbee t
For ony man that l could see
Wha dina hold
The sweetness O. his mithers name,
The kindness % his brothers claim,
The honor GA woman's fame,
Far mair than gold.
Nor is it hard for him to do,
Wha l1ens his friends are leal and true,
Love sweet and strong.
Whose heart knows not from year to year
The shadow Of doubt or fear,
Or feels the falling of a tear
For ony wrong.

Youth and Age.

The time for action is III our youth. Ii
is then that we gather in the grapes. Witt
freckled faces, sunburnt hands and bart
feeC we wander from vine to vine. from
trellis in the very exuberslnce of childish
glee and spirits. In age we quietly sit III
the shade, and while the hours away in CON
versation with our friends while we sip
the wine, which is the better for the long
years which have passed since the vintage
In youth we should learn wisdom. 1t is
thus we should sow the seeds which are tC
bear fruit for the future. We should be
taught that per,uaa is the greatest medicine
ever discovered, and that naoaaIin is equally
as potent a remedy. They go together, and
have worked some wonderful cures. There
is book which can be procured at the
drug stores, which tells you all about these
medicines. 1t is entitled the Ills of Life. ,
Ask for it, and read it through, and then

regret it. Send to Dr.. S. B. Hartman \

This morning, about o'clock a man
by the name of W lillian Boynton Of Belgrade,
employed by the Dunn Edge Tool Co. at
Oakland, was fatally injured in the grinding
room of the company by the bursting of a

ing an axe onto the grindstone. when without
any warning the stone burst, one piece
weighing some 200 pounds striking the un-
fortunate man in the left temple, fracturing
his skull and laying him insensible. A
physician was Immediately called. who pro-
nounced his injuries fatal. In the afternoon
he regained his senses but there was but
email hope Of his recovery. He is an I'M
married man about % years of age and has
parents in Belgrade. This is the first man
ever injured in the Dunn Edge Tool Co. s
works. The grindstone that burst was five
feet in diameter by four in width, and was

A SHOOTING AFFAIR.
Boston Oncer Shot by a Crank of
the Soldiers Home at FOCUS.

BOsroN, May Z.
Shortly after noon. today, Officer McWade
of the district police in Pemberton Square,
was shot in the left arm and right shoulder,
by Richard Brennan, a crank recently dis
charged from the city correctional institution.
He had been lettering about the office some
time, and was probably actuated by a desire
for revenge. Brennan, after firing two shots,
escaped into the street, but was subsequently
arrested by detectives. Chief Wade's
wounds are severe, but by no means dang
erous. The excitement over the shooting is
tremendous. Within few minutes a great
crowd blocked the streets in front of and
above and below the chiefs office, at IS Penn
berton Square. The news spread through
the city rapidly. Crowds gathered in front
of the newspaper offices, and nothing else
talked of in the afternoon. The shot in the
shoulder 10 not serious, inficting only flesh
wound. The ball passed out and was found
in his clothing. The wound in the arm is
worse and the surgeons did not deem it pru-
dent to attempt to extricate the ball. There
has been great loss of blood, and the bull
let lies near an artery in the elbow. Bren-
nan was a member of the 18th Massachusetts
regiment, and is now on a three months
leave of absence from the Soldiers Home at
Togus, Maine.

ENGLISH AND IRISH PAUPERs.
A Letter from Gov. Butler to Secretary
FOlger on the Subject.
Boston. Nav Z.

BosToN. May T.
The following letter has been written to
the Secretary of the Treasury by Governor
Butler concerning the landing of English
and Irish paupers at this port:
l have the honor to call your attention to
matter of very considerable importance to
this Commonwealth, which is perhaps, as
it may well be in the enclosed extract from
the Monituer Beige of Paris of April 9th,
1888, of which | send you the translation.
One cargo has already arrived in Boston
and another is mohentarily expected
If (meaning Butler) were convinced tina. it
was in the power of the Commonwealth to
prevent their landing. should deem it nv
duty SO to do. Many of the people who
come here Immediately become a char re on
the Commonwealth.

and deepest sympathy for these poor people
and, if landed, will endeavor to see that
they are humanity and properly cared for.
The Governor further says, Il recognize and
rejoice in the the theory upon which our gov
eminent was founded; that America should
be home for the oppressed and down-trod-
den everywhere. We welcome, therefore.

own free will aided by their enterprise, en-
ergv and resources. Such people, whether

The governor further asks of Mr.. Folger
il he will lake such measures, as under his
own good judgment may seem legal and
proper, to prevent the landing Of such de-
portation, at least within the limits of Massa-
chusetts. The governor promises to the
secretary whatever aid the executive of the
State may be able to give. If it SO happens
that the laws of the United States may be in
effectual to hinder the landing of these folorn
creatures, certainly it is within the scope of
the diplomatic power of the United States to
make such representation to the government
of Great Britain as will prevent their being
sent here against the will and wish of our
government. If the latter Is the only way in
which the evil can be reached may | beg of
you to present the matter to the President for
his consideration and Intervention diplomat
ically, if he shall see cause.
Chas. j. Folger, Secretary of the Treas
ury of the United States, has said in reply to
a missive from Gov. Bntler, that have the
honor to have received from the governor a
note, and | desire to reply to your commun-
ication to the effect that in relation to expor-
tation of pauper emigrants to this country,
under the auspices of the British government.
Mr.. Folger has to say tht athe papers in the
matter have been referred to the secretary of
state. Mr.. Foger adds that this subject of
emigration was brought to the attention of
the department by the collector of customs at
Boston in a report dated Goth ultimo.

Agent Wrightington testified at the Tewks-
bury management investigation today as to
the records relating to the property of in
mates, and said he knew of no complaints
that money or bank books belonging to them
had not been accounted for since 1868.
Mr.. Carver said he had carried TO Tewks-
an infant left on his steps. He subsequently
took it away. but in the meanwhile it had
been treated SO badly that its life had been
dispared Of. Some clo.hing he took with il
to Tewksbury could not be recovered.
Charles johnson, who had lost both legs,
took $50 to Tewksbury and a watch, but
Marsh refused to return Sl2 of the amount.
He was not allowed to use his artificial legs
at Tewksbury, but was compelled to crawl
around on the stumps. Thought there ought
to be more attendants at Tewksbury.
The governor at this point said the witness
was not the proper person to pass judy
ment on the question, but Mr.. Brown took
advantage of the witness statement to claim
it was proof of the insufficient force at Tewks-
bury. Quite discussion occurred on the
number of farmers employed at Tewksbury.
The hearing adjourned after listening to fur
ther testimony from Mr.. Fairbanks, the ex-
pert, in reference to Marsh's cash book.
