An Old Mans SOlflOquy.
81 AM SEVENTY YEARS OLD TO-DAY. -

This road lends sure to death;
near the end;
The mtle-stones all are past
Three score and ten.
/ Started with a crowd.
Where are they now?
lost them on the road;
know not how.
Host them one by one;
know no more.
They were not left behind:
They went before.
The way was full Of hope,
OF Joy and bliss,
OF pain, OF woe and death
And happiness.
Lies journey has been short:
That IS 10 say,
twas morning, noon and night
But one short day.
I'll look the record DER;
Yes, am right;
The journey o. day
Morn, noon and night.
Ny morn was spent in dreams;
My noon was bright;
Clouds quickly gathered round,
And now It's night.
NY glass IS almost run;
Why need care?
The hand that led me here
VIII lead me there.
Now let the time be short
When l may rest
Ny weary, aching head
Upon His breast;
Igo from whence 1 came,
Lies journey Ger,
And be what i have been.
And nothing more.
Ny dust returns to dust,
All for the best;
Ny soul viii go to God.
And be at rest
I've outi!ve1 all my cares,
My hopes, my fears;
lhaVe no place for mirth,
And less for tears.

FAREWELL! Twas uttered lightly,
No outward sign OF pain,
The deep eyes still sllone brightly
As hand clasped hand again.
Farewell! The lips were smiling,
The tones had no regret.
The fair face SO beguiling
Unsaddened was And yet
When all around was sleeping
One restless heart alone
Was fearful vigil keeping
Its GOODNESS to atone.
When bravely, on the morrow,
The light laugh pushed the sigh,
None guessed the night OF sorrow
Caused by that last gOOd-by.
IL
1t might have been. All! full OF deep regret
We murmur thus DER days long past and fed.
1t might have been-yain, idle words; and vet
By mortal lips no sadder can be said.
The dream OF life that opened out so fair;
When skies. once clOudless, slowly shaded DER,
And Hopes bright future melted into air.
1t might have been Perchance ourselves let
Flip
The fatal word that brought us all the Ill;
The brimming cup just lifted to the lip,
Shattered TO earth. our hand no more can NIL
1t might have been, but for that cruel word
That wrought such anguish past all loves re.
1t might have been, If only we had heard
The warning voice, to save us from despair.
1t might have beenA-it might have been. In vain
The Tortured heart may struggle to get tree;
The iron "Never" brings not half such pain
AS that which might have been-but may not b.

The grass Is green on Bunker Hin.
The waters sweet In Brandywine:
The sword sleeps In the scabbard sftll,
The farmer keeps his 0ocks and vine:
Then who would mar the scene to-day
With vaunt OF battlefield or frays
The brave corn lifts. In regiments,
Ten thousand sabers In the sun:
The ricks replace the battle-tents,
The hammered taseels toss and run.
The neighing steed, the bugle's blast
These be the stories OF the past
The earth has healed her wounded breast
The cannon pillow the leld no more;
The heroes rest: o let them rest
In peace along the peaceful shores;
They fought for peace, for peace they fell:
They sleep In peace ana all 10 well
The fields forget the battles fought,
The trenches waive In golden grain;
Shall we neglect the lesson taught
And tear the wounds agape againf
Sweet Mother Nature, nurse the land,
Ana heal her wounds with gentle hand.

And valleys clad In eheen o: gold,

In society whose feet are no larger than the de-

as were common among women thirty years
ago. They cannot walk any distance not only
because their feet are almost useless from long

do not protect the feet from the pavement.
These women wear the daintiest of kid sinners

A VEGETABLE DIET.-A vegetarian
reports the result Of his years ex-
perience without meats. At first he
found the vegetable insipid, and had
to use sauces to get them down. AS
soon as he became accustomed to the
diet all condiments were put aside ex-
cept a little salt. The desire for tobacco
and alcohol left him spontaneously
Then all his digestive functions became
regular, and he found himself wholly
free from headaches and bilious at
tacks. After three months a trouble
some rheumatism left him; and at tht
end of the year he had grained eigh
pounds in weight. He believes he cal

that all his senses are more acute

) supper bread, jam, cold pudding, and

Further consideration of the subject

VIOLATION OF ORDINANCE-RIeHT
TO ARREsT.-In an action for false
Imprisonment the defendant defended
ON the ground that the arrest by him
as police officer, for the violation of
city ordinance, was just and proper.
The point relied upon by plaintiff was
that as the arrest was made without a
warrant it was unjustable, unless made
at the time of the commission of the
offense and in the presence of the officer.
The plaintiff recovered a Judgment,
and the defendant carried the case
Wahl VS.. Walton-to the Supreme
Court of Minnesota, where an affirm
ance was had. The Chief Justice, Gil
fillan in the opinion, said: ga peace
officer may, by our statute, without
warrant, arrest person: 1. For a
public offense committed in his pres
ence. 2. When person has commit
ted felony, although not in his pres
ence. 8. When a felony has, in fact,
been committed, and he has reasonable
cause for believing the person arrested
to have committed it. 4. On a
charge made upon reasonable cause
of the commission of felony by
the person arrested. At the common
law constable might, without war
rant, arrest for breach of the peace
committed in his view. But it was
well settled that in case of an offense
not felony the arrest must have been
made at the time of, or within reason.
| able time after, its commission. Now,
though the offense here was done in the
presence of the officer he did not make
the arrest for two hours, and there was
no difficulty or interference to excuse
the delay. The power to arrest without
warrant, while it may in some cases b'
useful to the public, is dangerous to thu
citizen, for it may be perverted to pur
poses of private malice OF revenge, ant
therefore ought not to be enlarged
His arrest cannot be justified, and tn

How Ideas Come.

A certain lawyer justifies his pet
hobby, which is carpenter work, not
merely by the healthy relaxation of
nervous tension and exercise of muscle
it brings him, but chiefly because he
works out his legal problems, plane in
hand. Old law reading comes back to
him then, out-of-the-way recedents re-
cur to mind, the very text of the law
book is never 50 clearly before him as
then. He has glimpse of the column
and page, and the very part of the page
on which is some needed citation for
which he would otherwise have long to
seek. Nor is it only memory which
works when he is half engrossed with
the affairs of his handicraft. Original
thought arise and ingenious devices and
clever combinations take shape of them
selves. The case works itself out, and
mental labor is only pleasurable exer-
| tion, Just as his amateur handiwork is.

Experiment in Feeding Pigs.

Last spring, at the Iowa Agricul-
tural College, was tried an experiment
which developed somepoints of interest.
Six shotes were fed in two lots, one
lot receiving only sheiled corn. fifteen
pounds per day, the other the same
weight of corn meal moistened with
water. After continuing the ration
four weeks two pounds were taken
from each ration and the place supplied
with the same weight of oil meal.
When WI ole corn and corn meal were
fed alone the cost of pork per pound
was 245 cents and 31-10 cents when the
oil meal was added the cost was re-
duced to 2 cents and 21-5 cents in the
corresponding lots. Corn is here
valued at 80 cents, corn meal at 4l3
cents per bushel, and oil meal at II
per pound. 1t was observed that the
pigs would eat their mess of moistened
meal in eight minutes, while it tool
the others twenty-five minutes to eat the
shelled corn. In this experiment
with pork at So 65, corn meal fed Il
pigs returned 81 per bushel and who'll

This experiment points in the sam
direction as the one reported som
weeks ago, that about feeding ensilag
to fattening steers. 1t will be remen
bered that in this case the steers tina
were fed ensilage gained sixty-feu
pounds more than those fed hay.
