Has a strength that no power a move.n
She Said.
No fear or doubts, beloved, have I,
Fol deep in this heat of mine
Is a love that will never dim aud die,
Bnt will last for aye-like thine!"
He gave her q ring and a fond caress,
While her tears like a torrent fell;
AS with laltring words and in sore distre7s,
De babe her q long farewell.
But the man in the moon, who had often
viewed
Such tender scenes, I ween,
Wlnked knowingly then, as the lovers stood
Beneath IN the silver sheen.

Two summers with blossoms and buds are
Two winters with frost and snow;
And again the man in the moon looked
down

And what did he aee? Why, the lover had
won
A widow with wealth galore;
While the maiden had welded, that very
morn,
The clerk ofa dry goods store.

years ago this was a vast wilderness. Now
it boasts OF 1000 Inhabitants. These are

wooden, and bear the appearance of

flow Chicago Furriers Rent Seal
Skin Sacques Out by the Season.
els it true" asked a Chicago reporter
the other day of a lead ing furrier of that
city, shat seal skin sacques are rented
out by the season"
s'It is true," replied the %furrier, ''too
true, and it is injuring the fur trade.
What with the mild weather and the
new system of renting out sacques and
sets, it will not surprise me if several of
US are not compelled to 60 into another
branch of trade before the opening of
spring navigation"
"When did the fur renting business
begin?"
"Well, it is difficult to say. You see
business of all Kinds has been undergo
ing a demoralizing change for some
years past. Merchants stoop to things
now that they would not think of doing
ten years ago. Everything is conducted
on the sham principle. Sham! why this
is, by all odds. the shain,est age, if /
may coin the word, that the world ever

Some of our leading tailors do q big bus.

who give dinners, and talk elibiy about
their French cooks, have the eatables

what do you sealskin saceues rent
fot?"
"Well, a new sacque will bring $50
year il may bring about the same rental,
and from that time on until it begins to
look shabby its rental is reduced about
$40 every year, 1t is finally sold for
about $50"
"Do you demand a deposit of an
amount equal to the full value of the
sarque?:"
no, not a ways. When we know the
parties to be respectable we trust them
with tt e sacques, providing that they
pay the rental in advance and sign a
contract to make good any damage which
may occur 20 the properly"
do you ever lose them"!
"4es, but not otter. Sometimes We
lose track of them for awhile, but they
usually urn up all right"
Isn't it cheaper in the long run to
rent than to buv?"
"Yes, really i: is. Ladies' are apt to
become tired of a sealskin sacque after
tow seasons. They have only expended
sla0 or so, whereas if they had bought
the sacque III the first place they would
have been compelled to pay out from
. $500 to $500. and perhaps have gone
without a sacque altogether. By rent

Looking Death in the Eye.

MI. Will Dean. a brakeman on the
Baltimore and Ohio Road, had a hair
breadth and lucky escape from death
yesterday about noon at Renwood. He
left here on freight train Yesterday
morning and upon reaching Benwood
hadsome switching to do. When the
accident occurred he was walking back
ward in front ola number of moving
cars which were following him to the cal,
where the coupling was to be made.
when the heel of his boot was firmly
caught in a frog and he was thrown 70
the ground on his back. and still the
train continued to approach, until It was
almost upon him, and in another second
the track OF the a would have passed
over him had he not had the presence
OF mind to seizsa coupling-link which
was dangling from the bumper. This he
grasped with his right hand with
a a grip of iron and his foot was
drawn from the boot. which was left
sticking in the frog. Inthis manner he
was dragged to the other car and had
fully decided that his hand would be
crushed from his wrist, and he deter
mined that he would rather lose his
hand than both of his legs and probably
his life,
Anyway, his chances for death vert
good and he says all the little wrong
acts of his life and all the incidents that
he might have cause to regret, and, in
fact, in that short time a panorama OF
his whole life passed in q rapid ami dak-
ing name before his minis eye, por-
traying its bright and dark sides. The
present had just been unfolded to his
view when the train struck the car and
his hand receiving q blow he fell to tho
ground under the cars. AS good LUCY
would have it the car to which he had
been clingine wa q foreign car and had
q high truck, otherwise he would have
been ground to pieces. as the truck
passed completely owe him.
All this tine the hands who were
standing around were 30 Mortified that
they were unable to signal the engineer

George Eliot on Servants.

Servants are rick in intuitions. They
have a vast number of certainties whic,
are deep by reason of their groundless-
ness. The postman brings a letter for
Maria; she was sure he weuld-she
DIDN'T know from whom it would come,
and ii you were to knock her down, she
couldn't tell you why; but this morning
when she got out of bed and drew up
the blind and a the wind blowing the
leaves about, she seemed to see the
postman coming with the letter in his
hand. You make a great mistake if you
suggest certain conditions which might
have given rise to the expectation. She
rejects such low. minded analysis of her
certainty. No. there was no reason
why b should exepct u letter this
morning, more than any other; but SO it
was-and 1t was the same once before
when the dishcover fell and got bruised;
she had said at breakfast something
would happen that day, she knew.
But as to your certainties, for which
you allege arguments, the same Maria
considers them offensive unless they
are to be overcome by her assertion.
If you will not believe that a looking
glass is cloudy and spotty in spite OF
daily d,lisent rubbing, or tsat the steel
of all yonr %variously procured stoves
happens to be of so pecul r a quality
that 1t will not take polish. shs
thinks she has a right to feel offended.
II, however, she happens to be in a good
humor, she will prehaps observe, apro-
pos Of the steel that at one pace where
she lived there was a bright fender witt.
q sharp edge and the nurse let the child
tait on it and Gu herself; and when she
has told you all the circumstances at
tendant on this event, the name of the
doctor who WAS calleu in and what he
said, she will feel that she has read
Justed her position as a polisher oil
stoves.
On tho whole servants are little dis.
posed to think that the opinion of zen
tlslo.ks can have any practical value for
them. Or remedies, our methods, our
explanations, are like the drapery and
tailoring we pay SO much or; they cor.
respond to the supposed scale of our in
