SUNDAY EASY CHAIR.
THE END.


The course of the weariest river
Ends in the great gray sea;
The acorn, forever and ever,
Strives upward TO the tree;
The rainbow the sky adjoining,
shines promise through the storm;
The slimmer of coming morning
Through midnight gloom will form.
BY time all knots are riven,
Complexal though they be,
And peace viii at last be given,
Dear, both to you and to me,
Then though the path may be dreary,
Look onward to the goal;
Though the heart and the head be weary,
Let faith inspire the soul;
Seek the right though the wrong be tempting,
Speak truth at any cost;
Vain is all weak exempting
When once the gem is lost.
| eli strong hand and keen eye be ready
For plain and ambushed foes;
Thought earnest and fancy steady
Bear best unto the close.
The heayy clouds way he raining,
But - IN (, enlng comes the light;
Through the dark are lew winds complaining
Yet the sunrise gilds the hight;
And Love has his hidden treasure
For the patient and the pure;
And Time gives his fullest measure
To the workers who endure;
Aud the Word that no law has shaken
Has the future pledge supplied;
For we know that when we " awaken
We shall be satisfied.

net tricks he invited committee upon
the stage TO tie him. There were shouts
for Sullivan, who went upon the plat
form with Sheppard. They used piece
OF rope similar to bell cord used upon
railroad cars to signal the engineer. The
slugger took hold OF one end and Shep-
pard the other. In tying the mans

rope was obtained, and the Professor was

FROM DEATH TO LIFE.

wonderful Case Of Reconsideration Of an At
tempted Suicide.
providence, X. l., March ls.-A dis
patch from East Greenwich tells strange
story Of attempted suicide and recovery
from hanging. On Sunday morning the
wife OF David c Potter found him hang
ing by the neck, apparently dead. His
body was cut down and carried to his
bed, where he remained unconscious
for eight hours. A doctor was
summoned. Although there was
apparently little hope, every effort was
made to restore consciousness. during
the afternoon Potter had several convul-
sions, and at six o'clock he opened his
eyes and seemed 70 recognize those
around him, but was unable TO speak.
Monday morning he was able TO converse
about himself and his strange attempt.
He says the thought to take his lie waa
caused by momentary impulse and wal
mot premeditated.

The Irssh Nationalist Leader Gets the House
oe Comw0ns In = Corner and Mskes y
Decided Point.
LONDON, March ls.--I.ast evening Mr..
Parncll arose In his place In the House Of
Commons when the Government called
for the vote In the civil service supply,
and arrested the vote by demanding that
the Government keep their promise to In
troduce the bill for trcnnial rs 'istribu-
ton OF Irish constabulsry according to
the pledge given Irish members last Au-
gust. The Irish leader was very de-
termincd, aud his guarded announcement
took the House by surprise. 1t was
the first authoritative announcement
that a bargain had been
made by the Government with the Ma
tionalists during the franchise and re-
distribution contests last summer, and
long debate ensued as TO whether or not
the alleged pledge had ever been given.
Mr.. Psrnell declared that not only had
the pledge been given, but the Govern
ment had also guaranteed that the prom
iscd measure would be 80 managed In the
House as to be non-contentious.
Henry Bannerman, Chief Secretary Tor
Ireland, managed the debate for the Gov
crnment In most cautious and dexter
GUS way. lie concluded 1t by saying that
the Government had not the same recol-
| lection Of what transpired last August as
that indicated by Mr.. Psrnell, but that Ii
II appeared that the Nationalist members
were sincere and possessed . strong con-
yiction that such pledge as
was claimed had really been
| given by the Government, the Govern
ment felt In honor bound to defer to the
Parnclltes' understanding, and would
act upon the suppositon that the Par
nellites were right, although "we disa'
gree with their view as TO what took
place last August"
Mr.. Parnell accepted the statement a.
satisfactory, and allowed the vote TO pro-
coed, and the House adjourned at 5:2t
Yesterday morning.
