THE SADNESS or THE REAL.

He had met her that morning at tennis,
And saw that she played a fine game;
She was handsome, diStilguee and brilliant,
And he was not what yon call tame.
They had wandered away from the players
To nook, cool and cosy, near by;
Yet if some one had asked them the reason,
Either one could have scarcely told why.
He was cynical, cold and ascetic,
man of the world. il would seem,
Who had dreamed that earth's virtues were real
But now ha1 walked out of his dream.
At least, he couversed in such tenor,
Till he felt the time had come, when
He could touch on subject more tender
You know that's the way with som men.
Then he softened his tone to a lovers
She listened aud answered him low,
But Just what she said to her wooer
You should ask of the winds-they may know.
Whatever it was, he took courage,
And claspng her hand in his own,
He murmured, II love you. love you;
Oh, dear, will you love me alone?"
oh, excuse me, pray you she answered,
In the tone of a woman who wins,
i will have TO ask John-thats my husband
He is coming this way with the twins"

Blame Visited by CIergymen.

NEW YORK, October 29.--At 10 o'clock
this morning the gentlemens parlor of the
Fifth Avenue Hotel was filed with clergy
men of the various denominations who had
gathered to meet MI Blaine Five min
utes later Rev. DR.. James King called the
assemblage to order, and Rev. DR.. Prichard
was chosen chairman, and Rev. DIR. Near
thur, Secretary. The exact number of cler-
gy present was variOusly estimated at from
200 to 1000. Many were from other points
and were unknown here. Dr.. King pre-
sented the following resolutions:
Resolred, That We believe the triumph
of the principles of the Republican party
is essential to the welfare of the country
and to the preservation OF the results Of
the late civil strife, and consequently that
the election OF its representatives in the
persons of Blaine and Logan is imperative.
2. That we believe in the purity of the
personal character of these standard bear
ers, and also believe in their trained ca
pacity as statesmen to meet the claims of
the high offices for which they are in nom
inatiOn.
3. That we protest against the corona
tion of conceded personal impurity as rep
resented by the head of the Democratic
ticket, and while We deplore the necessity
we do not evade the responsibility of de-
claring our judgment to the world of this
insult to Christian civilization embodied
in such nomination for Presidency of the
republic.
4. That We are opposed TO putting pre-
MUM on dislOyalty as presented by the
candidate for the Vice Presidency of the
Democratic party.
5. That we exhort all well meaning and
loyal citizens, regardless Of party, when
purity is at stake-not by voting for the
Prohibition candidate to cast half vote
for the Democratic candidate with the semi
sanction of impurity and dissipation, nor
to cast whole vote for man whose name
is now conspicuous synonym OF inca
pacity and incOntinency.
6. That we exhOrt our fellow citizens to
cast one vote for virtue in the home for
protection for the rights of the humblest

not arrogant nor over confident when 1T
claims for itself the credit of organizing and
maintaining the industrial system which
gave to you and your associates in enter
prise the equal and just laws which en-
abled you to make this marvellous progress.
As / have said, that party Is not on trial.
If it has made mistakes they have been
merged into and forgotten in the greater
success which has corrected them. II it
had internal differences they are laid aside;
if it has had factiOus strife, am sure that
has ceased, and 1 am equally sure that
looking to the history of the past and look
ing to the great future before us we are just
titled in the prophecy that this imperial
state cannot afford to reverse and therefore
will not reverse these great policies upon
which it has grown and advanced from
glory to glory. L thank you, gentlemen;
| thank that larger number with whom |
have already had the pleasure of exchang-
ing greetings to-day; l thank the minis
tiers, merchants, lawyers, professional men,
mechanics, and labOring men of New York
for this cordial reception and ever generous
welcome, which in ali the mutations of my
future life will be to me among the proud
est and most precious of my memories.
Mr. Blaine here took his seat amid loud
and continued applause and enthusiastic
cheering for the next President Of the
United States"
Mr.. Evarts then said:
Now, gentlemen, it has been arranged
by those who have consulted our comfort,
that the speaking at the tables shall cease
and that we leave these seats and meet IN
the ample parlors that surround us so that
you may personally greet and talk with
our guest"
Without further speeches or delay the
left the room and proceeded to
the parlors where, for an hour, Mr.. Blaine
was surrounded by his friends engaged in
friendly conversation.

The Business Mems Meeting.

NEW YORK. October 31-At the business
mems meeting this afternoon in Chickering
Hall, Senator Sherman delivered an elabo-
rate address At the conclusion of his re-
marks Blaine came upon the stage. His
appearance was the signal for an enthus-
astic demonstration When silence was re-
stored he said
Business Men of Ne,c York Il deem it
an honor TO follow Senator Sherman. l
deem it an especial honor to follow Secre-
tary Sherman, for l can say that in our f.
nancial history he ranks among the really
illustrious men who have administered the
Treasury Department of the United States
1t was the good fortune OF Mr.. Hamilton
to organize that department with his mas
terly ability, and to place the credit of the
young Republic upon an enduring basis.
1t was the good fortune OF Alex. j. Dallas
to carry the finances of the government
through the embarrassment, resulting from
the war of 1912. 1t was the good fortune
of Wm H. Crawford after the great de-
preston that followed our victorious strug-
gle to revive the national credit by the
protective tariff of 1924. 1t was the good
fortune of Thomas Ewing after the great
Whig victory of 1910 tOinitiate those meas
ures which gave US the tariff OF 1S42. 1t
was the good fortune of Salmon P. Chase
to carry the government through all of the
extraordinary crises which were precipitat-
ed by the civil war, aud it was the good
fortune of that eminent citizen Of Ohio,
John Sherman, to lead the Nation back to
tho onYpl haS,S of Sroc!a navmenf And
it was singularly happy in the career OF
Mr. Sherman that in the legislative de-
partment he was permitted to shape the
resumption act and in the Executive de-
partment to administer its provisions and
carry it to successful issue. The re-
sumption act is continuing blessing to

4 DINNER AND A KISS.

II have brought your dinner, father"
The blacksmith's daughter said,
AS she took from her arms kettle
And lifted its shining lid.
There's not any pie or pudding,
SO will give you this"
And upon his toil-worn forhead
She left a childish kiss.
The blacksmith took off his apron
And dined in happy mood,
Wondering much at the SAVIOR.
Hid in the humble food.
While playing about him were visions
Full of prophetic bliss;
But he never thought of the magic
In his little daughters kiss.
While she, with her kettle swinging,
Merrily trudged away,
stopping at sight of a squirrel,
Catching some wild birds lay.
ana thought how many a shadow
VI HE and fate would miss,
IL Always our frugal dinners
were seasoned with such kiss.

/ PROBLEM.

sandy and Ned were brothers;
Ned was older then Sandy;
And they were busy dividing
A stick of licorice candy.
Ned was earnestly trying
To make the -iivision true,
And he marked the place with n tish-hook-
Where the stick ought TO break III two.
But, alas, for little Sandy
And his poor painetaking brother!
Twas "A long and short division
One piece longer than the other,
Ned gravely looked at ths pieces,
And Their quite unequal length,
And he wrest,ed with the problem
With ali his mental strength.
And, at last, he said "Oh Sandy!
can make il come out right.
If take the piece that's longest,
And bite OF just one bite"
Their four eyes beamed and frightened
At this plan, so very handy,
OF disposing of the problem,
And distributing the candy.

Twas the simplest way to do it,
And he cheated little Sandy
And they neither of them know 1t.

LITTLE RELICS.

Only baby's picture,
With dimpled shoulders bare;
Large blue eyes softly beaming,
And rings of golden hair.
Only faded relic,
All wrinkled, soiled, and torn;
'Tis but tiny stocking
My little girl had worn.
Only knot of ribbon,
More precious far than pearls;
Ii slipped, just as you see II,
One evening from her curls.
Only her broken playthings-
Little dishes and her doll;
Her pretty cups of silver
You see l keep them all.
Only little slipper
That my pretty darling wore
The first time that she tottered
Across the chamber floor,
Why do keep and love them,
When so many years have fled?
Don't you know? They were my baby's,
And the little one is dead.

The Burchard Blunder.
HOW MINISTERIAL JEAEoUsIEs FORCED BUR
cHARD TO THE FRONT TO KILL BLAINE.

New York Letter to Boston Transcript.
4 gentleman who is familiar with
the inside workings OF the Republi-
can national committee gives me the
following as the true story of how
the Rev. DR.. Burchard came to act
as spokesman of the clergymen who
called on Mr.. Blaine: The Rev
Dr. McMurdy, a Protestant Episco-
p,lian minister, who used to be
Chaplain of the Senate, but who is
now without a charge, came TO the
national headquarters on the recon-
mendation OF John A. Logan. Desk
room was given him with the idea
that he should keep in line with the
religious sentiment of the country.
He did his work well and thoroughly
At the last visit OF Mr. Blaine to this
city it was thought that a reception
to be given him by the clergy would
be beneficial. I'm not sure that
some did not suggest the idea to Mr..
McMurdy; but, at all events, he took
sole charge of the matter. The ma
tional committee knew nothing about
the affair until the arrangements
were under way. 1t had been ar
ranged with Dr. Peck. a leadipg
methodist, Of the Christian Advocate,
to deliver The main address of the
occasion. He had prepared a speech,
but after the ministers had assembled
there were some objections made by
representatives OF other denomina-
tions to Dr. Peck being the chief
spokesman, some petty iealousies
having been aroused. IL order to
effect a compromise and to harmon
ize things it was agreed that the old
est clergyman present, without re
gard to what his creed might be,
should be selected and DR.. Burchard
proved to be the man. As he was
selected on the spot his speech was
OF course impromptu. There was
no opportunity to coach him or to
learn what he was going to say
Thus the whole trouble originated in
a desire to smooth over the jealous
les and ruflied feelings of the clergy
nen themselves.
