BID ME GOODBYE.

blo me Goodbye! No sweeter salutation
Can friendship claim;
Nor yet can any language, any nation
A sweeter frame.
1t is not final; it forebodes no sorrow,
As some declare
Who born to fretting are so prone to borrow
To-morrow's share.
0ooo-pye is but prayer, benediction
From lips sincere;
AND oreathed by thine it brings a sweet con-
viction
That God will hear
Goodbye! yes, GOD be with you;" prayer and
blessing
In simplest phrase;
Alike our need and His dear care confessing
In all our ways.
however rare or frequent be our meeting,
However nigh
The last long parting, or the endless greeting,
Bid me Goodbye!

obstacle between himself and rich
estate, by the crime of murder. This
crime he protested he had not COM
mitted; but instead had seized and over
powered the man he had undertaken to
assassinate, whom, after robbing him,
he had afterwards dragged to place of
secret confinement, from which he had
purposed releasing his prisoner as soon
as he had secured the promised reward
from his employer, by convincing the
latter that he had performed his agree
ment.
But when asked to reconcile this ac-
count with the discovery of the body,
Lalor could say nothing; and a search
of the place in which he alleged he had
concealed his victim, revealed nothing
to corroborate his incredible statement.
AS for the part of it duplicating Han
ley, that was set down to sheer de-
pravity.
John Labor was tried, found guilty
and sentenced to be hanged. Every
body said he would confess at the last
moment; and Richard Hanley, whose
presence poor Sylvia was forced to
tolerate occasionally through stress of
parental authority, was waiting to draw
a sigh of relief as soon as the drop fell.
One day Mr. Melroth' door-bell rang.
OF the servant who came to answer it,,
handsome young man, who stood on
the threshold, inquired for Miss Mel
roth.
He was invited to enter, and asked
what name should be announced.
'None," was the answer, "but tell
her gentleman wishes to see her.
When Sylvia Melroth appeared and
her eyes fell on the comely visitor,
with an exclamation of mingled sur
prise and terror, she staggered back
and would have fallen but for the ready
arm which came to her support.
The next moment, as she looked up,
all fear had departed from her eyes,
which were filled, instead, with tears
of JOY and love.
80! Mark, l believed you dead, and
it almost broke my hearth she MUIR
INJURED.
Il hope to live many days after such
a one as this!'' he said, earnestly, seal
ing the declaration in due form.
1t turned out that John Lalor's story
was literally true. Mark had been
kept many days a prisoner, bound hand
and foot but finally managed to escape
on the day of Lalor's capture. Then
he kept himself concealed till that
rascal had suffered all the terrors of
the law but the very last, and till the
state of Sylvia's heart had been
thoroughly tested; for, through trusty
friend, Mark had kept himself advised
of all that passed.
Of course Lalor escaped the gallows;
but both he and Richard Hanley under
went the highest penalty allowed for
conspiracy.
''But about the finding of the body?"
the reader will ask.
That was another of Hanley's tricks.
AS before explained, Mark Penning-
tons brother had died not long before
his own disappearance. The two were
singularly alike; and by secretly ex-
huming the body of the dead brother,
and distiguring it with wounds, Richard
Hanley was enabled not only to furnish
the evidence needed to perfect his own
succession, but to complete the case
against John Labor, of whom it was his
purpose to be rid.-N Y Ledger.

Getting His Moneys Worth.

A man, little tOpheavy, rushed into
a SiXth-avenue telegraph office, seized
a telegraph blank and stub pen with
a ball of dried ink on the end, and, bv
propping himself against the counter,
managed to write the following mes
sage:
Kate; 1 won't be home till morning.
"What'll that cost?" said the man,
handing the message through the port
hole to the manipulation of electricity.
''Let me see. Seven words fifteen
cents"
Fifteen, Ell! How much for ten
words?"
1.-The same price; anything not ex-
,ceeding ten will cost you fifteen cents
to any address in the city," answers
the operator, making IA spring to muzzle
an instrument that was suffering as if
it had delirium tremens.
I'm bound to have the worth of nv
money out of your corporation, then, -
said the man, bracing himself against
the counter as he traced on blank this
clear message:
"Incomprehensibility manufacturers, trans.
CenuenUdlSHl, OOnSudntlHOple, cOncaV0cOn-
vex, Massachusetts, assassination, Pennsyl.
vania, imperturbability, philoprogenitive,
ness"
There, string that on your wire and
send her at 2:40 gait" said the man,
with look of vengeance in his eye.
The operator counted the words, but
volunteered the information that there
was no sense in the message, and that
the dictionary mist have been ra,,
sacked for the longest words.
81 know there's no sense in it, but
Kate'll understand it all the same.
Sh'll know I'm on drunk anyway
when | send message at this hour,
whether it's sense or not. | make 'em
long on purpose to break the back of
your darned machine. Shovel 'em in
and start the crank. I'm in for a good
time, Never mind the expense. Here's
your fifteen cents" And the man ran
out and hailed passing CABIN Y.

This schedule does not cover unli-
censed saloons, or other places where
liquor is sold; the average daily receipts
are taken at less rather than more than
the probable truth, and yet it charges
Chicago, which contains only about one
sixth of the population of the State,
with an outlay of over S32, 100000 per
annum for spirits, wines and fermonted
drinks. 1t is not so easy to ascertain
the number of saloons in the rest of the
State and their average daily sales, but
data are not wholly wanting. Fifty
eight high-license towns of the State,
with a population of 189, 1000, contain
401 saloons, or one to every 470 inhabit-
ants. Make all the allowance that can
be reasonably asked for the moderate
drinking of the farming classes, and
discount, if possible, our estimate for
Chicago, and the total cost of liquor
drank in Illinois exceeds $50, 100000
per annum.-Lnter Ocean.

has taken place in him. For some years he has
looked physical wreck and his STOPPING figure
and palsied arm gave him the appearance of
man on his last legs But then there was some
thing in the flash of his eye in the strong and
vigorous caste of his features, and in his ener-
getic though somewhat spasmodic step that
constantly impressed one with the idea
that he was still an active man. When I saw
him the other day remarkable change had
taken place. He had driven down from his
country seat, some ten miles above New York
to his new house in Gramercy Park but when
he got there he was so weak that they had to
carry him from the carriage into the
house He was ar once put 10 bed on the first

RESTAURANTS very often
have tad coffee, since they are
compelled to keep coffee ready
for use all day and part Of the
night, and cannot make it fresh
more than three or four times.
The coffee must necessarily boil
long time and lose it's strength
and aroma. From this comes the
many complaints of restaurant
coffee, which. by standing, some
times has a peculiar taste. This
can be remedied by making each
cup fresh, which C N only be done
by using Fels b Co. s Liquid Cof-
