A Boot Blacks Eulogy,

Brandy is dead
So the men said. so the women said,
and so the children called to each other
as a piece Of news.
A drunken, good-for-nOthing. A So
called man whose brain had become
dissolved in liquor, whose mind was
enfeebled, and who had disappointed
everybody by not dying in the gutter,
instead OF having the roof Of tenement
house over his head
Why should anyone grieve when such
vagabond passes away? The world
may owe him room for his bones to rest,
but nothing further, SO in "Brandy's
case men said that he was well out of
the way, and woman clattered their
dishes in the rooms below, and cared not
for the presence of the dead
When the undertaken came to bear
the body away dozen people crowded
into the room, and among them was
boot-black. Some said that brandy
looked well in a coffin; others spoke
lightly about his face having lost Its ru-
by color, and the dead pauper was no
more than dog in their minds, and
why should he have been? One can be
man or he can be 4 vagabond. If he
becomes a vagabond let him lose the re-
spect of men. All had heartless re-
mark except the boot-black. He stood
at the head Of the coffin and looked
from face to face and said:
Brandy was low-down, snd he died
like beast, and vou are all sneering
at him. Did any one among YOU ever
give him chance9 Did he have home
when he was boy? Did men try to
encourage him aud guide him Alright?
Is there a man in this room who ever
took him by the hand and spoke one
kind wordp Didn't everybody abuse
and ill-treat him? Didn't everybody
look upon him as n dog9'
There was no answer.
Ave, Brandy was low down" whis-
pered the boy as he laid his hand on the
coffin. He was ragged and hungry.
and poor ard homeless, and without one
single friend. What man among you
could have stood out against it any bet
ter? Poor old man. They know all
about it in heaven, Let me help to
carry him down.
And when the dead had been driven
away and the boy had disappeared, more
than one man said:
After all we might have made it cas-
Ter for the poor old man. ] wonder
that some Of us never sought to make a
man of him, instead OF bringing him
down. - Detroit Free Press.

A Foolish Dare that Resulted in We'd
ding,

Quite partyof girlswere at the station
at Delaware WaterGap Railway, one day
awaiting the arrival OF the evening. train,
when, in a spirit of mischief, one of
them dared the gayest of the party, a
girl from Pittsburg, to rush up behind
some new arrival, seize him 10y the arm,
and eXclaim, "Oh, George! I'm SO glad
to see you" The lady took the dare
as the saving is, and, selecting good
looking fellow, went through the pro-
gramme; but by the time her words
were uttered her confusion was so gen
uine that the gentleman really thought
she had mistaken him for some other
person. He accepted her stammering
apologies, watched her take the bus
for home, and took the route himself.
The next morning they met at break
fast, most unromantic meal; but Gu
pid had done his work, and mutual
liking ensucd, which several weeks of
constant compauionship strengthened,
and now they are discussing trousseaus
and marriage bells.

had followed him into an alley and at
tempted to assassinate him by aiming a
blow at his head with-a sand-club. A

would-be murderer had made good his
escape, and no clue could be found
Prof High Strung is one Of the only
two men in America who can open his
mouth clear back to his ears, and it is

in or near Toronto, has hired on assa5-

boarded him for three days, lent him
shirt and other garments, and hoped to
be repaid by listening to an interesting
lecture upon a subject in which ne had

similar generosity" and that ''my first

Jack PARCEL Killed.


A mysterious scandal has just come to
light in Los Angeles. A physician recent
ly took a newly-born infant to a man who
keeps a little store there, offering him $500
if he would take the child, promising him
$1,000 additional for raising it. The doc
tor added that there was even more money
in it, as the parties interested in keeping
the matter a secret are rich. From what
cap be gathered the child is supposed to
be the offspring OF the Illicit love of a Young
lady, rich and we'll connected, and a prom
inent gentleman. The child is deformed,
the nose being perfectly flattened against
its face, and its mouth ~unnaturally small,
being but a little larger than a pea. A
poor woman has been induced by a large
sum of money to take the child and raise
it. The l~iveliest curiosity prevails on the
subject.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS WIRES.

DANGEROUS TELEGRAPH
Immediately after the great fire in
Milwaukee the business men Of that city
sent the following significant communi-
cation to the Mayor;
Whereas, The large number of tele-
graph wires suspended on poles in the
central parts Of the cities have proved
very serious Instructions to the fire de-
partments in doing efficient work in cases
OF fire, of which the terrible contiagra-
ton OF the Newhall House in this city,
with the great loss Of life which might
otherwiS have been saved, is the latest
proof; therefore
We, the undersigned citizens OF Mil
waukee, most earnestly petition the Leg
~islature of our State and the Common
Council Of our city to pass laws and or
dinances compelling the corporations IN
whose hands the telegraph traffic CEN
ters, to place their wires IN the central
part Of our city in the ground instead of
suspending them on poles. We feel that
this is~a reform most urgently needed
and one that should not ba unnecessarily
delayed for g moment, We, therefore,
beg you TO give your earliest possible at
tention to the matter.
The late Commodore Vanderbilt. who
was not 4 child, used to say, "a man is a
fool who leaves a lot Of poles and wires to
his heirs, by which he meant that the
cost Of a telegraph line is insignificant in
proportion with its earnings. Nor
would the cost Of putting their wires nn'
dsrground in the great cities cost enough
to wound mortally the sensitive souls Of
the telegraph monopolists. Nor is this
cost a worthy consideration when the in
cidental loss of human life ia compared
with ia loss that results to property
as well by the impediment of telegraph
air lines about burning buildings.
