nets considerable. The shad fishing

sturgeon fishermen at Bay Side report

steward was hardly able to distinguish
his instruments. Under the soothing
effect of his mothers voice, the boy al
lowed the wounds to be dressed and
the cruel stitches to be taken. Later
in the day he dropped asleep and awoke
considerably refreshed. He was un-
complaining through it all, and the for
titude with which he bore his sufIerngs
excited the admiration of every one.
In the cool of the evening Charley
was taken home in an ambulance sent
for that purpose from the fort. The
officers did everything in their power to
atone for the suffering they had So
carelessly but unintentionally caused.
The surgeon and his assistants attended
him tenderly and carefully until he was
we'll. The surgeon offered to procure
his mother pension, but Mrs. Cages
declined, saying that she was too thank
full that her boy was alive to think OF
asking aid from the Government.
Charley was soon able TO walk with the
aid of crutches, but could not dispense
with their use for many months.
Mrs. Cages, now an aged woman,
loves to tell of those perilous times.
One of her daughters, lady of rare
qualities, fills one of the highest posi-
tons allowed to her sex in the Govern
ment departments in Washington. She
has in her little cabinet at home the
very piece of shell which did its cruel
work that day. 1t is rusty, and. when
picked up, was blood-stained. Charley
is florist, and brings his flowers regu-
larry to one of the Washington mar.
kets. He limps little, and will al
ways have cause to remember the sum
mer morning when the New York regi-
ment at Fort Smith bombarded his
mothers house.-NelU York Tribune.

any of the natural owners to recover
any portion OF it as remuneration for
service, in return for labor or the
payment of money. This was the
foundation of the present system OF
Irish landlordism The new landlords
refused to reside upon their Irish es-
tates, but lived, and still live in England
or on the continent. They draw
enormous rents from the estates and
invest or spend the money abroad.
None of it returns to Ireland. These
absentee landlords intrust the manage
ment of their estates to agents, and
hence the obnoxious system of absentee
landlords and ever present grasping
bailiffs. 1t is needless to say that the
landlord and tenant system which has
80 long prevailed in Ireland would not
be tolerated in this or any other conn
try single day. To prevent any in
surrection against this tyranny, the
British Government keeps in Ireland q
standing army of from 10000 men a
hundred years ago to $4,000 at the
present time-35, 900 regulars and 49,
900 military and constabulary; and In
addition to paying exorbitant rents to
the landlords, the Irish people have to
pay taxes to support this annual occu-
pancy. What wonder then that the
Irish people are poor, that they have
been without education, that they have
no more manufactures or commerce, or
that they hate the British Government? ?

False SYmnathy.

Human nature Is proverblally lncOn-
sistent. 1t applauds the virtuous, but
when question of material help arises
it would seemingly rather aid the
vicious. Thousands are perishing
around us daily whose only crime is
that they are poor, and yet there is
little sympathy for them, even from
their relatives and former friends, and
no helping hand is stretched forth to
aid them; but if these same people
should commit some heinous ohense
and fall into the clutches of the law,
there would be no lack of sympathy OF
substantial aid
Let q man, for instance, become q
murderer. and, no matter how much of
an outcast he may have been before he
became weighted with the curse of
Cain, he straightway becomes an object
of interest. Sympathizers apparently
spring up at every corner, and money
is poured forth to prove his innocence
or to mitigate the justice of his SEN
tence. He becomes hero in the eyes
of those who neglected him before, and
the taking of a fellow-creature's life,
for very slight provocation or no
provocation at all, advances him a
thousand fold in the estimation of the
world.
He becomes distinguished man, and
the conservatory and the preserve closet
are rihed of their contents to soothe
his hours of Imprisonment. Philan-
thropic ladies flock around him, and
tender-hearted and soft-headed men, or
those anxious for notoriety, come for
ward to.cheer him. They have little
or no thought of the poor victim who
has suddenly been sent to his account
with "all his imperfections on his head,
but for the murderer they have kind
words, which makes him think that he
is noble fellow after all, who has not
molted feather from his angelic
wings by violating the laws of God and
man. If he has been sentenced, petit
tons circulate for communication, and
if it is not secured denunciations are
poured forth on those in power who
have resisted all appeals.
We do not wish to be unmerciful; we
would not add to the misery of those
whose evil passions and vicious courses
of life have led them into crime; but
for the protection of society and the
innocent we feel called upon to con-
denim, in the most uncompromising
terms, the demoralizing sympathy that
is bestowed upon the man who sheds
human blood. 1t encourages those
with murderous instincts to give way
to their sinful impulses, and leads them
to believe that they will escape severe
punishment for their misdeeds, through
the efforts of perhaps well-meaning but
mistaken men. Let the full penalty
for murder be more strictly enforced.
and the report of the deadly pistol will
become a novelty in the land; that is,
if we do not insist upon elevating MUIR
derers into grand and heroic proper
tons. Cultirdtor.

Septembers listless moon is slowly drifting
Athwart the eastern sky, -. 49,
Casting her silvery shafts DER swaying treetops
Whose trunks in shadows lie.
The night-wind scatters perfume DER the
meadow
OF tlrdy blossoms sweet,
And softly rustles In the fading hedges
That guard the quiet street
From somber field. from shadowy hedge and
hollow
i hear the crickets call;
1t floats across the perfumed moonlt silence
In ceaseless rise and fall
In spring time, when the birds with liquid
warblings
Across the meadows dat,
know not wherefore. but bright, tender leaflets
or hope burst In my heart
But as the crickets patient, dreary chanting
Floats.o or the meadows brown,
Blasted and torn. without their full fruition.
The dead leaves fiutter down.

why the Editor Is Bald and Toothless.

"You may never have remarked that
literary men are apt to become tooth
less sooner than other people," said a
dentist. "The phosphates which should
go to renew the hair and teeth are con-
sumed by the brain with such rapidity
that the dentist and barber have to be
called into reguisition by brain workers
more frequently than by any other class.
If, in addition to hard brain-work, un-
varied by frequent periods of recrea-
ton and repose, the subject is heavy

more pronounced. "-InterUieio an Ne,C

The love which every child brings
with it is in itself the very strongest in
dicaticn of the needs Of the child. Love
is like sunshine; without it there can
be no harmonious growth or develop
ment. As well expect fruit tree to
bear delicious fruit in cellar as to ex-
pect child to grow up into symmet-
rical manhood or womanhood without
love. As invariably we appropriatethe
sunniest nook in the garden TO the
nursery. so must the warmest and sun
NEST apartments of the heart be given
to the little ones. Nurtured in an at
mosphere OF love, their various powers
expand in unconscious but harmonious
beauty.

The Cow and the HEM Rural Tale.

Patrick Doyle, of Middletown, Pa i,
has COW on his dairy farm, near that
village, whose life is made miserable
by hens singular attachment for her.
For over year the hen has been an in
separable companion of the COW, and
spends all of the time, when not on her
nest, or joining the other chickens when
they are fed, perched on the cows
back. There she roosts at night, wheth-
er the COW may be in the barn, the
barnyard, or the pasture. The COW
does not approve of this close compan-
ionship, and is always trying to shake
the hen off her back or whisk her off
with her tail. The hen is always pre-
pared for these attempts, and when the
COW lowers her head and shakes her
shoulders the hen trots along her back
beyond the effects of the shaking. If
this brings her within reach of posi-
BILE whisk of the cows tail, she watches
it closely, and at the firstmovement of
that appendage she trots back again to
place of safety between the cows
horns.
At times the cow will suddenly start
on dead run around a field or the
barnyard, lowering her head, laslring
her tail, and believing, as If to terrify
the hen into taking her departure. The
hen will then scramble to and fro on
the cows back to maintain her position.
but the result of this vancouver on the
part of the COW is. nine times out of
ten, to force its unwelcome companion
to fly off. The cow is no sooner at rest
than the hen steals up and mounts
again to her perch. This amusing scene
is witnessed almost daily by people who
go to the farm for the purpose.-Pitts-
bstrgh Times.
