OYER THE HILL TO THE POOR
HUUSE

begging prince will excite the pity of a
beggar, and the fountains of sympathy must
flow from every heart when reading the fate
of the PEEK family, the once famous Swiss
Bell Ringers. CowPER says ''there is in
souls sympathy with sounds" and there is
scarcely man, woman or child in all the
country that has not heard the enchanting
music of the PEEK family, and retains a
recollection of the peculiar harmony of their
bell ringing, ''as sweet and musical as bright
APoLLo's lutte strung with his hair" They
made a great deal of money during their
thirty or forty years travelling in this coun-
try and Europe, and the general superstition
was they could retire from business with
comfortable fortunes. Yet dispatch from
Syracuse, n. Y, says that few days ago
Mr. PEEK and his wife were admitted as in
mates of the Cortland county poor house.
Mr.. PEEK is 76 and his wife is IS years old.
In explaining his present situation to re-
porter of the New York Herald, Mr.. PEEK
said that he had lavished thousands of dollars
upon his children and in charity. The his
tory of Mr.. GREENS picture mentioned in
yesterdays GLOBE shows that even charitable
institutions can be .ungrateful to those who
endowed them, and it is not surprising in
the case of the PEEK family that after con-
tributing so much of their earnings
to private charity they are forced,
in their old age, to find
shelter in the public alms-house. Mr. PEEK
further said he had lost large sum of money
in gold speculation in st. Paul and in
theater at Pixies Peak, both investments
being well calculated to sink money for
guileless man with no. practical knowledge
of speculative business. They have children
living-three daughters-one in Michigan,
one in Dakota aud one in California. Two
OF the daughters are married, the other one
is widow and reported by the Herald as
doing prosperous business at jamestown,
Dak The fate of the old man PEEK and his
wife is a sad one, and a striking realization

poem
