"Worcesters is, in the estimation of all sehol-

There is certainly no real comparison possible be-

Giving Away the Baby.
From the Detroit Free Press

From tina Detroit Free Press.
Some weeks ago a family consisting
of husband, wife and baby about 3 years
| old, reached Detroit from some Eastern
pointin destitute condition, and finally
got room in q house on Catherine
| Street with a citizen whose sympathles
had been aroused. For time both
parents were i'll, and the man had
scarcely recovered when the wife died.
! Unable to work, and equally unable to
care for the child, he permitted wom-
an living near by to take it home. A
day or two ago, having valnly searched
for work in Detroit, the man decided to
go farther west. Three or four differ
ent families offered to take the baby
and adopt it. Poor, destitute, friend
less, and with only money enough to
take him to Chicago, what could he do?
When the time came to make the decis-
ion there was crowd of women appeal
ing to him aud promising to bea mother
to the little waif He took the child in
his arms and wept over it, and said in a
broken voice:
"Poor Billy! I'm putting you away
for everl"
The child chung fast to his neck with
one arm, and with the free hand wiped
away his tears and said:
"Pa's crying crying! Is pa
sick?"
The man pressed the boy to his heart,
kissed him again and again, and to the
woman who was to take him he said:
"It's tearing my heart out, but it must
be donel He'll grow up to forget his
dead mother and me, and never to hear
our names spoken, but I've got to Co.
One more kiss, Billy"
"Papa doin' away?'
eyes; goodbye"
"Dood-bye. Hurry home"
The women sobbed and the men shed
tears, and all Of sudden the father
rushed from the house and hurried
from the neighborhood without one
glance behind him, doubtless fearing
that if he tarried moment longer his
love would prove stronger than his
pledge.

a SHOCKING TRAGEDY.

Only q dog but he waited there
nv the picket fence in the chill night air
He needed not the dying day,
He'd a job on hand, and came to stay.
He had seen strange pup, an hour before,
Boldly enter the parlor door;
He had seen his mistress feed him on pie.
And regard him, withal, with q kindly eye.
And the dogs heart hardened; he feared that hG
No longer petted doggy would be:
So he vowed revenge on the upstart pup,
And swore that night he would chew him up.
Only dude, with stony stare,
Biithely humming the latest air.
He ambled along as best he might,
For his shoes were long and his trowsers tight.
A sickly smile played on his face,
He sucked his cane with careless grace,
And remarked, as glass in eye he stuck.
Its the sottest snap | ever struck,
Only howl-it came from the dude,
While camly the dog the left leg cheWed
OF the upstart pup who had dared to snare
With him the gifts of his mistress fair
The poor dude tried in vain to fee,
The dog chewed on with fendish glee
Till naught was left but a slender cane
To mark the spot where the dude was sla1n

Violent Measures

Are, should be, only resorted to in extreme
cases. Danger is incurred by persons who tam
per with disease. To take drastic, drenching
cathartics, or to neglect a recourse to judicious
medication when the bowels are constipated, are
alike acts of folly. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
relieves, and if persisted in, ultimately cures
costtveness. But this effect it never produces
violently or abruptly, nor is there any medicine
on earth that will do any permanent good that
causes sudden change, accompanied by pain in
the intestinal region. Dyspepsia, no less GER
talnly than constipation, is remedied by this
sterling, time honored medicine, which is also
the leading antidote to malaria, and safe and
pleasant remedy for rheumatism, inactivity or
disorder of the kidneys or bladder, and bilious
ness. This statement is based upon ample evil
dence.

Serenades, Ancient and Modern.
[R. J. Burdette in Brooklyn Eagle

In days of old, when knights were
bold and stole for living, serenade
was romantic little open-air concert, at
which gentleman dressed up like a
frepr0of safe, twankled long necked
guitar under the windows of his love
and told her all about it in eight lines
and a chorus. It was very pretty,
romantic, poetic sort of thing, al
though its starlit beauty was liable to be
marred now and then by the entrance
of burglar with lance or battle ak,
with which he picked the lock of the
freproof casting and perforated a large
hole in the person of the love-lorn
knight and married the girl himself.
In either case the young lady was
married and SO didn't have to waste her
wedding toggery.
But an American serenade is a
product of the nineteenth century. II
an American gentleman wins meer-
schaum pipe at rattle, or is elected
president of the United States, or if he
goes TO Europe, or fights duel, OF
eats thirty dozen eggs in thirty days,
or if he goes without eating anything
for forty days, he is serenaded. Tue
American knight does not go alone
when he goeth forth to serenade some
people. He goeth in crowd with a
brass band and some Roman candles
blue lights and sky rockets. The OBJ
ject of the American serenade is not to
delight the soul with the witchery OF
music, that comes as dehcatelv as the
sweet south wind that breathes upon a
National Bank of violets, stealing a
great deal more odor than it gives.
1t is not to entrance the man in whose
honor the serenade is given, with the
harmony of soft breathed sounds until
borne on the swelling notes our souls
aspire, while solemn airs improve the
sacred fire, and angels lean from heaven
to hear" All, no. The thoroughbred
American serenade is none of that
It is to frighten the bending arch OF
heaven with crash of brass and sheep
skin, and then, when attracted by the
noise, or waiting by previous appoint
ment, the astonished man under whose
windows all the silence is thus rudely
shattered rushes out to see what is the
trouble, the braying of the horns is
drowned in wild, fierce shrieks Of
Speech! speech!" And then the emf
nent American "norates," while the i'm
patient crowd gathers around the band
and talk with the musicians, who dc
not understand solitary word of En-
glish, until the time shall arrive when
the speech is spoken and they are
asked IN to have something.
