Most everybody is dead. That is,
all the old folks. There are mighty
few left of the old stock that used IL
move around so lively and take the
lead in business and public affairs.
Some of US are getting lonesome
now. The ranks are filling up, but
we don't know the new recruits.
Old Father Time is cOnscript Off

fight, fight all the time. Fight as
they did at Thermopyle, where
there were only 800 against 1000
600, and there was no possible es-
cape to go. We can't desert nor
dodge nor play sick nor shoot fin
ger off, and there are no furloughs
and no pensions and no discharge.
There is not even promotion for
good conduct or noble daring.
There IS nothing but to do and die.

SAVING Herself for the Grave.
Z BROOKLYN Eagle.


One day last week three funerals
arrived at the gate. of Greenwood
Cemetery simultaneously. AS the
mourning carriages drew alongside
OF each other the occupants of two
began 10 scream and sob as though
their hearts would break. Shrieks
rent the air and EXPLANATIONS Of
grief echoed from under the great
stone arch of the gateway.
p Are you going to be OutdOne by
those two widows ?" Indignantly
demanded a frieHd of the third
who had preserved a marked and
marvellous silence.
"Think I'm going to bawl my
self hOarse and have nothing left
for the grave?" was the angry re-
Joinder. "Let them have ii. out
now, and by and by when they are
so done out they can't whisper, I'll
peal out in fashion that'll make
'em think they never heard funer-
al before" @
And recognizing the deep sagac-
ity of the level-headed bereaVed,
the friend smiled encouragement,
and was rewarded by seeing the
other two mourners knocked out in
the first round when all three ar
rived at the grave side.

THE following anecdote is related
of the late Judge Black. One day
he was surrounded by a bevy of his
personal friend on the floor of the
House, among the rest Judge Mer-
cur, then the Bradford Congress
man, who turned 10 him and said /:
Judge Black, you have more
friends on this side of the house
than on your own. You ought to
be a Republican. If you would
join us we would appreciate you
and give you due prominence"
To which Judge Black made reply
that he knew il all to be true; the
Republicans were good fellows; he
would like to belong to them, and
there WIS only one thing in the
way, eff" he said, "there was no
hereafter, would join the Republi-
can party at once. Nothing deters
me but the fear of hell"

Protecting the Newspaper

Publishers of newspapers and pc
riOdIcals who are in the habit of re-
deeming unsOld copies from news
companies and agents are well
aware that the return of copies
which have been sold and then col
lected again wherever found by
train boys, hotel servants, etc., sub
jects them to considerable loss. An
indianapolis man has patented IL
sealing machine, which are design
ed TO prevent this practice in the
future. The machine, which can
be attached to the folder or run in
dependentIy, pastes a Sip, bearing
the seal of the Office using it, over
the free edges of the paper, in such
a manner that the paper cannot be
read without breaking it. The Gin
cinnati Enquirer and the Indianap-
apOlis Journal have already deci-
ded to adopt this means of self-prO-
lection.
