A Good Institution.

The rest of America is indebted TO Balti-
more for more good things than oysters and
peaches. The latest thing for that city Is an
idea. IL Is the "provident" woodward, de-
signed to help the deserving poor. The
woodward Is we'll stocked with cord~wood,
saws, and saw bucks. When an able bodied
man asks for aims In this city he is referred
to the "provident," where on bisecting one
cord Of wood he Is put IN immediate possess
ion Of 6fty cents, and made temporarily in
dependent. The yard furnishes employment
for large number Of laboring men Of the
city who have been thrown out Of regular
employment BY The usual winter shutting
down OF certain works which cannot be con-
ducted TO advantage during cold weather.
Naturally enough the professional tramp
keeps away from tfe woodward. He has no
use for au institution where labor IL exacted
IS an equivalent for money. But the estab-
lishment Of the yard enables the citizens to
dismiss athletic bsgsars BY sending them to
the woodward, without any uneasIness OF
copscisnce lest they may have sent away
empty y-handed deserving unfortunate.

THE SUMMONS.

Ger the dreary, sodden marshes screamed
| the bittern from the highlands,
The white fogs rose around us like q spec
| tral sentry band;
And wandering shaft of moonlight spread
its melancholy splendor
Through the wide and lonely reaches Of the
solemn southern land.
Heavy with the summers sweetness, through
the ranks of sanity lilies,
Pulsed the languid evening breezes from
the woodlands, green and fair,
And from rose-encirclsd gardens came the
fragrance OF clematis
Squandering its wealth Of perfume on the
hekle, wooing air.
And hint of dark foreboding paled her fair
cheek with its terror
Dimmed the dark eyes tropic glory ,quench-
ed the fires that in them burn:
TIL said: when you shall summon,
tho the grave shall ope between us,
shall hear your slightest whisper at your
call | will return"
Splendor Of the northern moonlight held the
valleys In its rapture,
Irailed the mist's transcendent curtain,
dim, encircling mountains DER,
And the wreath of blossomed laurel and the
pine lanis subtle fragrance
FILLED the air with spicy odoB like the
balm the Magi bore.
Where the woodbine trailed its berries and
the jasmine starred the shadows,
Late we fingered in the moonlight, pris-
oned by its witching charm.
On my breast her pale face rested, and her
golden hair unbraided,
Swept in sheeny, changeful radiance DER
my strong encircling arm.
81 am yours" / said, forever. Death itself
shall not divide usw
Then a weird and wavering shadow fell
upon us gloomiiy,
And cold hand chilled my pulses while
sombre, formless presence,
Evanescent as the moonlight, swept be-
tween my love and me.
Dear" she said, 'I can not see you, and
your voice dies in the distance"
Faint, shrank beneath the splendor of the
eyes that on me shone;
From the graves dark desolation, through
the willow and the cypress,
have heard you, love, she whispered, "I
have come to claim my ownr
