Z" II you think well Of a man, let him know It
now. Do not wait till he is dead to praise him.
DR.. 4. Mckenzie.
Oh how the praises, but the hundreth part
Poured out upon the clay,
Wouid have fed full the eager hungry heart
In need of naught to-day.
Why do we keep as silent as the grave,
Till in it, free from cark,
Is reckless dust, that nothing else can crave
Than silence and the dark?
Are we so weak. we do not dare commend
What others have passed by?
Are the warm praises that our judgments
tend
Cooled by captious eye?
Yes; and too often through a selfish fear,
Ornegligence alone,
We keep its dues back from the asking ear
Till it be dull as stone.
Quick be the recognition of all worth;
So sweet the timely word,
Praise may be dear in heaven, but here on
earth
Is sure of being heard.
Charlotte Fiske Bates.

A. T. Stewards First Loye.

About sixty years ago Cornelia
Clinch was one of the prettiest girls
in New York. She and her brother,
who afterward became Collector of
The port, were the children of ship
chandler, who was pretty rich, as
wealth was leckoned in those days.
He lived in q big house on Duane
street then one of the most fashion
able parts of the city. Old Clinch
was self made man and thought ev-
cry other man ought to be the archi-
tect of his own fortune So he frown
ed away every wealthy young fop who
came to WOO Cornelia and sent her
regularly to school to learn to be q
sensible, useful woman, for he had a
terrible temper when he was crossed
There is still standing, near Stuy-
vesant Square, little old-fashioned
church known as st. Marks. In those
days it was away out of the city in
the green fields. But every Sunday
old Clinch went up there with his
pretty daughter. One day young
Stewart saw them. On his side il
was clearly a case oflove at first sight.
He began attending church there reg
ularly. Then he made Cornelia's &C
quaintance,. and, as he was poor but
industrious, the old man smiled up.
on him and invited him to call and
take dinner with them. After a
while Stewart asked Cornelia o very
interesting question and she, like q
good girl, blushed and said: "Ye e-s
if papa says Co." Then Stewart in
terviewed old Clinch and he said =
"Want to marry Nellie, ehi Thinl
she's got rich father, eh 2? And you'd
like to come in for share of his earn
ings, eh!"
mo, sir; you needn't leave her or
me cent. I'll soon be richer thar
you, anyway"
"You will, will youi Well, 1 like
that! Go ahead and take her, then,
and Heaven b.ess you both"
So the young folks, who were tre-
mendously in love with each other
were married and went to live in O
modest little cottage ON Reade street

THE Philadelphia Record is not u
tariff paper, and expresses itself on
the wool question, as follows:
The wool growers of Washington
county are holding meetings to peti-
ton Congress to increase the duty
on wool They complain that the
cheap wool of the South and West,
as well as the importations of foreign
wool, make it impossible for them to
reap an adequate profit from sheep
raising. On this question the wool
growers must meet the opposition of
every man who wears a woolen coat
or sleeps under a wooden blanket
The consumers think they have a
right to buy their woolens at the best
advantage, even if the farmers OF
Washington county are obliged to go
into some other business that pays
them better than wool growing.

THIS paragraph on the whisky
question is from the North American:
For once the whisky men and the
advanced temperance people are Of
the Same mind They are alike op
posed to the repeal of the whisky
tax though, as may be imagined,
from very different reasons. What
makes the distillers object to the
mooted abolition of the Internal Rev
enue Department is the fear that
such a step would have the effect of
making the whisky business too easy
of access and Of opening it up to
men whose capital is at present in
sufficient for the purpose. If there
is such danger, it is certainly one
more reason why the excise duties
should not be substantially abated.

ing; Il am ready" They put rope

Melting murdered Ada Atkinson
on the oath of September. Ada was
the 15-year-old daughter of Cephas
Atkinson, a well known and wealthy
cattle dealer, residing near the vii.
lage of Pineland. Nelling was a
farm hand. On tie day of the muir
der Ada and Lucy, her sister, were
left alone in her house. After din
ner Lucy went away on short visit.
She returned at five o'clock, to find
her sister dead in her bed room
She was frightfully mutilated and her
body was almost hacked to pieces
The whole affair was wrapped in mys-
terry. 1t was supposed that the
crime was perpetrated by tramps,
who we're seen in the vicinity of the
farm about four o'clock. Another
version that the girl was outraged
and murdered by discarded lover
found early credence. 1t seemed alb
solutely impossible to find clue to
the perpetrators of the horrible crime,
but there WAS good detective talent
employed on the case, and on Satur-
day, the 18th of October, Jacob Nell
ing and Jacob Ladd, two farm hands,
were arrested and secretly conveyed
to Fowler, where they were locked
up. Nelling charged Ladd with the
crime, and Lsdd in despair request
ed that his accuser be brought face
to face with him. The two were or
dered to stand within two feet oi
each other. Then followed dram.

cross questioning of Ladd. Melting

tremblingly confessed his guilt. he
said:

it something came over me that en-.
ticed me to do SO. I went up stairs
and found Ada up there. I said to
her: ada, 1 am going to kill you.
She told me not to do it, that she
did not want to die that way. 1 told
her I should do it, but don't recollecI

me that I had hold of the handker-

I might have twisted it when l cut
her throat. After washing the blood
off my hands and knife I went bscl
