BLUE BELLS"

Twas the last entwlned in the golden hair
OF dear little sister so kind and fair:
And It's long III remember sweet little smile
As answered her kindly, "Shell be home In
while"
"But my brother" she said, az am hungry and cold
And our mother is gone long time from the fold
Where her dear little VIII and her sweet little
Bess
Are alone in the dark, but wen wait guess,
TIL we hear the football OF her weary tread
Bringing her children their morsel Of bread"
"She is kind to us Will-mother dear Don't you
know
How she labored and tugged through last Winter S
snow;
How she washed and she scrubbed working hard
all the day,
And given small wages as the whole of her pay?
And at times when mother thought was asleep
She sit for an hour at time and she'd weep.
o, dear brother Wllll these are sad things to me
When think of the time when we cannot mother
see.
And then only you and here alone
To live for each other and live In one home"
NO more did she say, but soon feel asleep,
And closed her eyes-no more sha II they weep.
II she dreamed that her dear good mother would
come,
The prayer was answered and not very long
From the time little Bess went to sleep
Cold and hungry, without Il morsel to eat.
But ! saw not the mother when she came to receive
Her darling her daughter-her son she must leave.
For the angels had carried her off to the sky
Far from the haunts of a cruel eye.
Still alone here wander where none can console,
The longings that upward arise in my soul,
As think of my youth while now I'm alone
For mother and sister have left me-theyre gone
No one shares comfort, and only with these
| The pretty Blue Bells that are blown In the
breeze,
As companions and friends, must wander alone,
Looking toward Heaven as the place OF my home,
Where my mother and sister IN dazzling light
Now hover in peace from their earthly flight.

BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS.
The present occupant of the White
House, Mr.. Cleveland, is plain, blunt
business man. He performs his share
in the entertainment of guests and will
do all that official duties require of him
in entertaining the people of Washing
ton. Society with him, however, is a
mere incident. He is as regular in his
habits as machine. He has perfect
health, a strong physique and an enor-
nous capacity for work. If there is
| any fault to be found with his method
of doing business it is that he
is too conscientious and gives too
much attention to details. He gives
his personal attention to the pa
pers of every applicant Tor a Presi-
dental appointment. He works stead
lily in his office from o'clock, with few
breaks, until midnight. He receives
general callers upon all days of the
week except Saturdays or Sundays.
Tuesdays and Thursdays he spends the
greater part of the afternoon with his
Cabinet associates. He is very acces
sible. 1t is easier to see the President
than it is to see the majority of his
Cabinet associates. Mr.. Cleveland ac-
cepts no invitations to go out. Gen.
Grant was the first President who ever
accepted an invitation to any of the so,
clal entertainments in Washington, and
he went out very little. He only Wis
tied his personal friends. Mr.. Cleve
lands policy of not going out at all is
much more in keeping with the dignity
of the office, and in the end will GER
tainly give more general satisfaction.
Mr.. Cleveland reads only the news
papers. He has no time for anything
else. He reads but few of these pa
pers. He generally glances through
the New York papers before retiring.
He sleeps from seven to eight hours.
once asked him if he ever carried his
work to bed with him, as many men of
a nervous organization would do. "No,'
said he. 81 generally fall asleep with
out any difficulty. l generally am
asleep as soon as l am fairly in bed and
never wake until morning" This fact
is enough to show that Mr.. Cleveland
will not break down, no matter how
hard may be the strain of his official
cares. A man who can sleep seven or
eight hours every night can work as
he pleases during the remainder of his
time. He is very abrupt and direct in
his treatment of all his callers. He is
thoroughly polite to every one, but he
permits no one to waste his time. He
stands up while he receives his general
callers, and each mans business is fin
ished as quickly as possible. The man
on duty at the front door of the White
House does more to render the Presi
dents life peaceful than any other one
person. He has held the post for {
long time, and is an expert on the sub
ject of cranks. He can tell crank al
! far as he can see. His entire life is ,

PICTURE FACES.
BY JOHN SUTTON.


In the twilight was musing,
Thinking of the years gone by,
When picture came before me,
That was pleasing to the eye.
Twas the picture of the faces
OF the friends used to know,
Who long ago departed,
To the land where all must go.
l could see each form and feature,
AS the group came into view,
could recognize them easily,
Each, just In life knew.
could hear their pleasant greeting,
could see each pleasant smile,
could feel again their presence,
AS II with me all the while.
Some were old, and wan, and wasted,
Framed in locks of white and gray,
Yet they seemed to me as pleasant,
As before they passed away.
Others in the strength Of manhood.
Flushed with health, and bright with Joy,
Yet like blasted oaks they perished
By diseases that destroy.
Others still, bore marks of beauty,
Faces fair to look upon,
But they withered In their blooming,
Faded early, and were gone.
Thus the picture stood before me,
And Its deep impressions made,
Teaching life is full Of changes,
Full OF sunshine and OF shade.
Each OF all these picture faces,
In my memory has place,
And think of them with pleasure,
As their friendship still trace.
In some old-ume social pleasure,
III some noble Christian deed,
In some warm and fond affection,
In some help In time OF need
will bear 1t with me always,
As treasure, hold 1t fast,
And appreciate its value,
While my life and memory last.
Shall see these dear old faces
When the dream OF life is DER,
What a Joy twill be to greet them,
And be with them ever more.

Sharp Scheme OF a SwfndIer.

The st. Joseph (Mo.) Gazette says:
A man has just been captured in DeKalb
county practicing a new and peculiar
method of passing counterfeit money,
which may be described as follows: Be-
fore leaving one town he addressed a
letter to himself at the post Office of the
town at which he next wished to operate
in. The letter would purport to be from
his son and usually inclosed bogus $40
bill: in it he told lot of bogus family
matters, expressed the hope that he
would soon find employment and refer
to the money inclosed. The letter was
shown to the postmaster or some one
else in the Office who was asked to read
it, he being a very poor scholar. The
party reading the letter was then req
quested to change the bogus bill or to
introduce him to some one that could,
and the swindler generally succeeded,

A Brothers. Revenge.

Sixty years ago George Probst, of
Lehigh county, then "a years of age,
made VOW that he would devote his
life to the acquiring of wealth, for the
sole purpose of leaving it to the disad-
vantage of his three half sisters.
Probst's father had been twice married.
George and two others were the children
of the first wife, who had brought their
father considerable property. This
property the eldest Probst left, with all
his other wealth, to the children of the
second marriage, leaving the first wife's
children noihing.7 II vas the injustice
of this disposal OF his mothers property
that prompted young Probst to make
his vow. He tramped about the country
for several years peddling Bibles. After
he had accumulated So, 600 he invested
in real estate, and was SO successful that
when he died year ago he was worth
nearly half million dollars. He willed
all OF his wealth to his nephews and
nieces, mentioning in his will why he
left nothing to his sisters. Their cir
cumstances were then not of the best,
and they brought suit to have the will
broken, but it was sustained at Eaton
by Judge Schuyler.

THE GUARDIAN OWL.
The Story Told by Captain of n Nor

The story Told by n Captain of n North
Sea Vessel.
In the cabin of bark lying at Mis-
sion street wharf is a good-sized glass
case containing the stuffed body of a
large white owl. 1t is beautiful spec
linen of its species, and is the property
of the master of the bark, Captain Ed
munds. "Three years ago." said the
captain. 81 was in command of a
schooner owned by the Hudson Bay
Fur Company, plying between Ungara
Bay and other points along Hudson
Straits and Newfoundland and Halifax.
One day started on snow shoes from
the schooner to trading post, but as
terrible storm came on I sought to re-
turn. 1 lost my bearings and wandered
aimlessly about, hallooing and yelling,
but had small hopes of my cries being
heard. Hours passed in this way and it
became pitch dark. Benumbed and ex-
hausted, [ at last fell down in the snow
and gave up all hopes of ever seeing my
schooner again. As with people freez-
ing, 1 became semi conscious and my
extreme cold gave way to prickly heat,
which 1 knew was preliminary to death.
Suddenly 1 heard one of the most
unearthly noises near me. 1t raised me
like an electric shock and I listened. A
mournful hoo hoo 7 at my feet caused
me to stagger up and look around.
heard futter and then saw some
thing white in the darkness. My fears
increased. [ thought it must be a
spook. The futtering was repeated
and the object camo nearer, and then I
saw my mistake. It was a white owl
out in the storm with myself. Then [
recalled the old Esquimaux superstition
that white owl always appeared when
one was in distress, and that if followed
the owl would conduct one to place of
safety. approached the owl, and it re-
coded. l staggered ahead and it still
went before him, but never got out of
sight. L don't know how far followed
the bird, which at intervals emitted its
mournful 'hoo-hoO, as if to encourage
me. Thinking I must be near the ship
L halloed with all my feeble might, and
was rejoiced to hear response. Soon,
through the falling snow | saw lantern
and L knew that was saved. The owl
seemed 10th to leave me, and [ threw it
the remainder of my provisions, which
it deVoured greedily. 1t was not long
before L was once more on the schooner,
and now you know why think so much
of this owl, as it is the one that saved
my life. In the morning the owl was

How q Goose is Fatted.

The foie gras, which makes the cele-
brated pate, is nothing more than dis
ease, that of a large liver-like an In
dian official. The birds are imprisoned
in small apartments where they cannot
turn, only room being left for their
heads and tails to protrude. Before
them is a trough, filled with water in
which powdered charcoal is mixed. The
birds are literally stuffed with food, of
which maize, moistened with poppy oil,
is the base. Pending the last day of
fatting, all liquid is suppressed. The
presence of ball of fat under each
wing indicates that the psychological
nom ent has arrived-to extract the
liver. The bird is then so obese that it
respires with the greatest difficulty. 1t
ID killed; a goose weighing twenty
pounds will yield six pounds of fat and
liver of two or two and one-half
pounds. The price of liver-that es.
teemed luxury in old Rome by Cesar
and Crispius-varies from two to three
francs. This special liver fattenipe in
creases the size of that organ five-fold,
