. UNDYING LOyE.-The love that sur.
wives the tomb is one of the nob:est at.
tributes of the soul. If it has its woes
it has likewise it's delights; and. when
the overwhelming flow of grief is calm
ed into the gentle tear of recollection
when the sudden anguish and convu,
sed agony are over, the present ruins Of
that We most loved are softened away
into pensive meditation on all that 1t
was in the day Of its loneliness. Who
would root sorrow from the heaft
though it may sometimes throw d pas
sing cloud e the bright hour of gale
ty or spread a deeper sadness over the
hour of gloon? Yet who would ex.
change it for the song of pleasure or
the burst of: revelryi No there is a
voice from the tomb sweeter than song;
there Is a remembrance of the dead to
which we turn even from the charm Of
the living.

Some of the boys who prefer that

cane bottoms in chairs.
The making of cotton baskets
has also been tried by the boys
with pretty fair success. Great
trouble is experienced in obtaining
tho right kind of material.

porter that according to the census.

by which they can earn an honest

CURIOUS
BANK OF ENGLAND.

The are some curious things about
the working arrangements of the Bank
Of England. No note ia issued of a less
denomination than pounds. Every note
is WONDERED, and the name of the party
to whom it is paid out is careful lly re-
corded. The practice of keeping a
memorandum which will show from
whom he receives every bank.-note that
passes through his hands is common,
also with the painstaking London
tradesman. 1t proved a fortunate thing
for a gentleman of whom a little story is
told. He had given his wife a 10 pound
note. Their little child got hold of
the pOrtemOnnaie and DESTROYED the
note-as they supposed, by throwing
it on the open fire. There would have
been no hope of realizing on a green.
back under such circumstances. But
$50 wal worth trying for. The tnum-
Der Of the note was ascertained from
the parties through whose hands it
came to the gentleman, q sworn state
ment of the facts was filed at the
bank, and after a year or SO had passed
without its having been presented for
redemption the bank paid over the
money. The bank takes in and pays
out its gold coin by weight. Sometimes
it sends out a sealed package, and re
ceives it again before the seal is broken.
and yet dedncts quite a sum from the
amount at which it paid it out, to make
good the loss-detected by the unerring
scales-which occurred by the abrasion
the coins in transportation!

YELLOW TICKETED SA XONY

You cannot live in Saxony without
handling an assortment of yellow tick
cts every day. You get a ticket fol-
everything. When you pay your fare
on the street car the conductor gives
You a yellow ticket. Before reaching
the end of your trip, another official en-
ters the car and tears q corner off the
ticket. If you send a package by ex
press you receive a yellow ticket, and
ifyou receive an express packet you get
yellow ticket. Ifyou send money BY
mail you get two yellow tickets. ono
for the consignee and one for yourself.
and when the consignee receives the
money he also receives a yellow cou-
pom, and signs a yellow ticket. When
You buy a bill of goods in Ia store YOU
are handed I yellow ticket. and when
they are delivered at your house the
bundle boy gives you another yellow
ticket and takes the one you first re-
ceived. l don't know whether the min
lister who oficiates at a wedding gives
b bride and groom yellow tickets or
not, but I believe they mnst have n
when their first baby is born. If YOU
live at 1886 B street, and you move to
S195 A street. you must 60 to the City
Hall and get a yellow ticket. If a SCI
want girl leaves Mrs. x, and goes to
work for Mrs. Xxx, she must also "a tn
the City Hall and got . yellow ticket.
It 10 probable that the Saxon goes into
che next world with . yellow ticket in

TIE LAST FOOTBALL.

There is often sadness in the tone,
And q moisture in the eye,
And q trembling sorrow in the voice,
When we bid q last good. bye.
But sadder far than this, l ween,
o sadder far than all
Is the!heart-throb with which we strain
To catch the last football.
The last press of a loving hand
Will cause a thrill Of pain,
When we think, ''oh ! should it prove that
We shall never meet again"
And as lingeringly the hands nnclasp,
The hot, quick drops will fall
But bitterer are the tears we she'd
When We heal the last football.
Whenever felt how dear to US
Wa the sound we loved SO we'll,
We never knew hor musical
Till its last echo felf;
And till we heard it pass away
Far, far beyond recall,
We never thought what grief 'twould be
To hear the last football.
AND years and days that long are passed.
And the scenes that seemed forgot,
Eush through the mind like meteorlight,
As we linger on the spot !:
And little things that were as nousht
Blu now will be II all,
Come to lis like an echo low
OF the last, the last foot fall.
