NIGHT.

D gentle Night o thought-inspiring Night
Humbly ! bow before thy sovereign power;
Sadly own thy all-unequalcd might
TO calm weak mortal in his darkest hour:
Spreading thy robe DER all the mass of care,
Thou bidst the sorrOwful no more despair.
When high in Heaven thou bid'st thy torch
Casting on earth a holy. peaceful light,
My heart adOres thee in thy cllm divine,
Is sOOthc1 by thee, hope-inspiring Night!
All anxious thoughts, all evil bodinRs fly:
bly, soul doth rest, since thou, o Night! art
nigh.
When thou hast cast o'er all the sleeping land
Thy darkened robe. the symbol OF thy state,
Alone beneath Heavens mightiness ] stand,
Mustng on life, eternity and rate;
Mayhap with concentrated thought I try
To pierce the cloud of Heaven great mys-
terry.
'Tis then sweet music in the air hear,
Like ripping waters falling SOFT ana low;
With soul enraptured do list, yet fear
It's not such music as we mortals know;
1t watts the soul from earthly things away,
Leaving behind the seuseless frame or clay.
Friends. kindly faces crowd around me there,
/. Friends loved the better since they passed
Leaving a legacy of wild despair
And now see them as in full orb'd day,
The iong-lamented once again descry,
Bask in each smile, gaze in each speaking eye.
o blest reunion, Nights almighty gift .
Lent for a time unto the thoughtful mind;
When memory can DER the clouds uplift
The startled soul away from all mankind,
Throw wide eternity majestic gate,
And grant view Of the immortal state.
And thou, Night who canst these spirits
raise,
= Giv'st Immortality to mortal eyes,
To thee tune mine unadOrned praise,
And chant thy gIories TO the listning skies;
Watt . yc winds! the floating notes alO1gs
re woods and mountains, echo back the sing

THE MURDER BELL.
How a Policeman is Haunted by the Ac-
cidental Killing of His Child.

Chicago Herald.
"Did you ever shoot any One?" The
speaker was a visitor at the armOry, and
the person addressed was a patrOlman
who looked up hUrriedly and walked
away without an answer.
'YOu see," said another officer in eX-
PLANTATION, ''he had an experience once that
he does not like to think or talk about.
He used to walk in the Twelfth Street
District when it was called the terror
district, and when they had the murder
bell there. Whenever there was a shoot
ing or killing in that precinct the bell was
rung. so as to notify all patrolmen that a
crime had been committed and make them
more vigilant,i if possible, in their search for
desperate characters. One dark, rainy
night this officer obtained permission
from the rOundsman to step over to his
home, few blocks away, to get his rub
Der coat, and while he was In the house
he looked into the room where his children
were sleeping. Wishing to have one
revolver outside of his coat he took off his
belt and laid the weapon on a bureau.
just as he was about to strap 1t on he
noticed that the hammer was down, and
some way, in trying tOput it at half-cOck,
the thing was discharged. A little girl
jumped up from the bed with red blotch
upon her forehead and crying, 'Oh, papav
fell fiat on her face. At that instant the
murder bell rang, its tones coming into
