Why She Made a Purse Of Her Shoe.
Boston Evening Record,

bOhtOu Evening hecOIu.
A eolored girl, who was apparently
still in her teens, was asked the other
day by conductor in Metropolitan
street car for her fare, betrayed symp-
toms ofupeasiness and began cycling
her feet. The conductor repeated his
demand, aud the girl began fumbling
with one OF her button boots. which
she finally succeeded In taking of
The boot had an unusually caPacious
TOE, and when she had taken off this
outer covering for her foot, she put her
hand in the forward part and drew out,
not purse but tiny piece Of cloth In
the folds of which were few nickels,
with one of which she paid her fare.
Some OF the passengers Uttered, but one
Of them asked the girl, sympathetlcal-
ly, why she used her boot for purse,
The girl; who had hitherto remained
silent, now exclaimed Indignantly
"Them men who laugh ut me oughter
had their own pockets picked, AS Use
had, and then they might put their
money in their boots. II they had any
what wouldn't Leak
This simple and expressive rebuke
and explanation told the whole story
and secured for the poor colored girl
the sympathy ofthe passengers, besides
little substantial aid.

THE BURIAL OF MOSES.
by Nebo's lonely mountain,
ON this side JordAn's wave,
In vale In the land OF Moab,
Thorc lies a lonely grave;
And no man dug that sepulohre,
And no man saw II e'er.
For the ''sons OF Cod upiurned the sod
And la,d the dead man there,
That was the grandest funeral
That ever passed on Garth.
But no man heard the trampilng
or saw tho train 30 forth
Noiselessly as the daylight
Comes when the night Ia done.
Aud tho crimson streak ON oceans CHEEK
Grows into the great sun
Noiselessly as the sprlngtime
Her crown OF vercure weaves,
And all the trees on all the hills
open their thousand leaves;
so, without sound of music,
Or voics OF them that wept,
silently down from the mounlai n Is crown
The great procession swept.
Ptrchance the bald old eagle.
ON gray Bethpecrs height,
Out of his rocky eyrle
Looked on the wondrous sight;
Perchanoe the lion stalking
stu shuns that hsllowtd spot,
For beast and bird have seen aud heard
That which man knoweth not,
But when the warrior dieth,
His comrades In the war,
With arms reversed, and mufiled drum,
Follow the funeral car.
They show the banners taken.
They tell his battles won,
And after him lead his masterless steed,
While peals the minute-gun.
Amid the nobest of the land,
Men lay the sage 20 rest,
And give the bard an honored place,
With costly marble drest-
In the great minister transopt,
Who're lights like glorles fall,
And the sweet choir sings, and the organ
rings
Along the enibla1oned wall,
This was the braysst warrior
That ever buekled sword;
This, the most gifted poet
That ever breathed a word.
And never earth's philosopher
Traced with his golden pen,
on the deathless page, truths talf 30 sag'
AS he wrote down for men.
And had he not high honor
The hillside for HIS pail,
To lie in state while angels wait
with stars for tapers tall,
And the dark rock.pines, like tossinI
plumes,
over his bier TO wave,
And Gods own hand, in that lonely land
TO lay him IN the gravel
In that deep grave without a name,
Whence his uncofiined clay
Hhall break agaln-most wOndrou
thought
Before the Judgment day,
And stand with glory wrapped around
GU the hills he never trod.
And speak OF the stiife that won our III
with the inoarnate son OF God.
o, lonely tomb In Moah's land
o, dark Bethpeor's hill,
speak TO these curious hearts OF ours
And teach them 10 be sull;
God hath His mysteries OF grace,
Ways that we cannot tell,
Aud hides them deep, like the secret sleeI
ofhim He loved 80 we'll.

TOM FITCH AND BILL SHARON.
How Tom Prepared to Flay Bill and
Then Roasted SutrO.

The San Francisco correspondent of the
Sacramento Bee relates the following
story of sensational fight in Nevada:
The mention of Sutro recalls an old
story that l heard told again by one of
the actors some evening ago. In 1874.
Sutro, as well as Sharon, was a candidate
for the United States Senatorship. The
Hon. Tom Fitch arrived in Virginia,
and took Editor Daggett of the Enter
prlse-since Congressman and Minister
to Hawaii-to his rooms ut the hotel
Lie down there and smoke cigar,
Dag" said the orator of the silver
tongue, ~ want to read you some
thing"
And he pulled out manuscript and
read for an hour. 1t was a fearful
scorcher, devoted to Sharon-a fire of
ridicule, abuse and soaring eloquence
of the most virtuous and defamatory
kind. Daggett, who was doing his best
to elect Sharon, yet enjoyed the Grafton
immensely in his character of literary
man.
"What do you mean to do with that
thing, Tom?" he inquired when the
grand broadside of peroration had been
fired.
Deliver it from the balcony of the In
ternational Hotel week from tonight.
Pm having the posters printed for billing
the town tomorrow.
'But why should you go for Sharon?
It's none of your fight, You know"
True, my friend, but it would be
great calamity to the country to have
such a man as William Sharon in the
United States Senate. I've come all
the way from San Francisco TO prevent
it."
Gould nothing induce you to forego
your intention
"Well," said Mr.. Fitch thoughtfully,
81 suppose 1 might be coaxed not to de-
liver this speech"
The manuscript was carried to Mr..
Sharon. He sat down to read it before
the fire in his room behind the Bank of
California. AT the second page he jumped
up. AT the third he swore and sat down
again. At the fourth he was with difficulty
prevented from throwing the whole thing
into the fire.
Fitch nor no man living will ever get |
up in public and say such infamous things
as these about me !" cried Mr.. Sharon flu
riously when he had finished. "Here'
he shouted, Selling his book and writing
out check for $4,000, "take that to the
william and choke him whit? Stay" he /
