CLEAR THE WAY.

Men Of thought, be up and stirring,
Night and day.
Sow the seed withdraw the curtain
Clear the way
Men Of action, aid and cheer them
As ye may.
There's fOunt about to stream.
There's Il light about to beam,
There's "A warmth about to glow,
There's flower about to blow,
There's "A midnight darkness changing
Into gray.
Men of thought and men Of action,
Clear the way,
Once the welcome light has broker,
Who shall say
What the unimagimed glories
OF the day:
What the evil that shall perish
In its ray:
Aid the dawning tongue and pen!
Aid it, hopes of honest men!
Aid it, paper. Aid it, type.
Aid it, for the hour is ripe
And our earnest must not slaCken
Into play.
Men of thought and men of action,
Clear the way.
Lo, a cloud, about to vanish
From the day;
And a brazen wrong to Crumblc
Into clay.
Lo, the Rights about to conquer
Clear the way.
With the Right shall many more
Enter smiling at the door;
With the giant Wrong shall fall
Many others, great and small,
That for ages long have held lis
For their prey.
Men of thought and men Of action,

How to Kill Noise.

There are q multitude of sufferers
from the noises of their neighborhood
who endure what amounts to agony, ex-
citing their nerves to abnormal acton
and their pulse to fever heat, when it
would do them no injury to use simple
means of obviating the whole thing.
The claugor of machinery, the ringing
of bells, the cries and laughter, the yells
and roars, of hundred or less children
at recess or at ball-playing, the passing
of heavy drays-all or any of these and
other things are sometimes fatal to the
health of the invalid and to the work Of
the thinker. Often it is utterly impos-
sible to move into region where no
heavy drays pass, no bell-ringing is al
lowed; and then there is hardly q re-
gion to be found not invaded by the
whistle OF the steam engine, or where
boys do not shout at their games; and
even where there are no cocks to crow,
or dogs to bark, or birds to sing at un-
seemly hours before dawn, there is al
ways some other sound to torture the
sensitive ear. If now, the sufferer will
take a bit of spermaceti ointment of
about the size of pea, tie it up in q
small square of fine linen, and place it
deep in the ear, working it round till
it takes the shape of the oriice, leav-
ing the end to hang out, not murmur
of sound can be heard; the atmos-
phere is sweet and serene, the nerves
are quite at rest, all evaporation is
subdued, and when the noise is over,
or the necessary season of quiet has been
had, the little plug can be removed, the
murmur of the world allowed to return,
and no harm done. -Hdrper's Bazaar.

A Poem on Babies.

Babies The world is full OF babies
There are 5000 in Atlanta if there is
one. They are little, but they are
mighty important. Did you ever notice
how they disappear in rainy weather ?
The babies come and go with the sun
shine. Let balmy day happen along
and the green lawns are dotted over
with babies. Their stubby legs trudge
the streets, or they ride, and their
wise, thoughtful faces look out from
under very red hoods, and seem to re-
buke the world fo- being so bad. Did
you ever see woman pass baby
without giving it second CLAN, o? Did
you ever see an inexperienced man try
to make peace with an inoffensive and
unoffending baby? Did you ever see
baby that didn't know gentleman
when lac saw one? Did you ever hear
any eloquence like babys wonderful
voice? And how clear and silvery is
the voice of little girl Her laughter
is like ripping shower of muse from
the skies.
There is no doubt about it, the babies
are the salt of the earth. A man is not
full grown until he owns one. A being
who can lean over the side of his sleep
ing baby and not be as brave as hon
Is not good for much this side of the
cemetery, nor the other side, either, for
that matter.
Did you ever notice the little peaked
faced babies that look out of the dark,
damp rooms that fall to the lot of the
poor? They breathe the very dust that
rafting drays throw against their low
windows. There is little child on a
back street in the business part of At
lanta who may be taken as a specimen
Of that class of babies who are without
sunshine. There is no yard to the
house, no corner where even "frog
houses can be made. No mud pies
ever bake on fireless ranges, and no
red-painted toys ever tell the passer-by
that little child lives there. But q
small, pale face, ever so meek, pre- sses
against the dusty pane, and sad little
eyes look out on the ever-moving stream
OF drays and people. 1t is a compan-
ionless child. 1t romps with no chill
dren; it rides no fiery, untamed tri-
cycle. A well-fed dog dashing by is a
diversion, and hook and ladder truck
en- route to fire amounts to circus.
A faced baby, with a happy
home, sleeps in the folds of its cradle!
Hardly day, and the little cheeks are
as white as the pillow upon which it
rests. Did you ever notice how light
baby looks when it is dead? There is
hardly enough of the little form to turn
a zephyr. A weeping mother said one
day:
1T is so hard to leave my baby away
off in the cemetery. IL is so hard to
shut the door and know my baby is ON
the outside. "-Attanta Constitution.

THE valet seems to be occupying the
position until recently so well filled by
the goodman and the skating-rink
man. The valet OF Mr.. George, Pan
coast, of New York, married Miss Pan
coast, who has $50, 900 in her own right,
and great expectations besides. The
Pancoasts claim that the marriage is
illegal, and they will fight it out in the
courts, but the young lady insists that
she is the lily of the valet.

An East Saginaw young lady became
vexed at the kitchen clock the other day
for not keeping correct time. So she con-
cluded to see into the matter and adjust the
timepiece. She took out the works, placed
them in pot of hot water, and left them to
boil for fully two hours; after which she re-
placed the wheels and started them, and
the clock has been keeping excellent time
ever since. And still they say women have
no mechanical or inventive genius. There
isn't man living who would have thought
of that.

Capt. Crawford as born in Philadelphia,
and ip the early days of 1861 enlisted as
private In Company of the Seventy first
Pennsylvania Regiment. He was honorably
discharged July 2, 1864. He Immediately
after this again entered the army as First
Sergeant in the One Hundred and Ninety
seventh Pennsylvania Regiment, and sub
sequeptly served as Lieutenant in the Thir-
teenth United States Colored Regiment. In
1858 ne was brevetted Captain for bravery,
and from February, 1866, till May, 1867,
served as Lieutenant in the Thirty seventh
United States Colored Regiment. In 1868
he was made First Lieutenant of the Thirty
ninth Infantry, and year later was TRIMS
ferred to the Twenty fifth Infantry. In
1871 he was assigned to the Third Cavalry,
and in 1879 was made Captain. He had for
years served under General Crook, and was
considered one of the most efficient Indian
fighters in the service. He was for some
time in charge of the Apache Reservation.
The affair in which he was killed took
place on Mexican soil, about two hundred
miles from the border line. The Mexicaps
lost several men in the engagement.

The Princess of Wales had narrow
escape from the recent London mob.
She was in an open carriage, and was
driving past Apsley House, when the
mob advanced upon the carriage, as
they did upon every one that came in
their way. Her Royal Highness was rec
ognized by some of those in the crowd,
and, amid cries against her, several
hundred men ran yelling after the car
riage until it was driven swiftly into
Hyde Park. The worst that would
have happened 10 the Princess would
probably have been to be dispossessed
Of hercarriage and compelled to walk
through the iostling crowd amid in
sulting remarks.

Some remarkable representations Of
bouquet were made by Henry Dali

Each of them was prepared on glass,
from the sea es and hair of Brazilian
butterflies, and to tho naked eye looked
like small shot, but under a powerful
instrument showed eighty-two distinct
flowers of various shades and coiors
There are some fifty of these micro

what river is, yet Judge Brown. of
the United States District Court
of New York, has given decision
which confers on the time-worn geo.
graphical definition all the authority of
legal recognition. He has decided that
East River, so called, is not river. He
says river is a considerable stream OF
water, that has current flowing from
the higher level that constitutes its
source to its mouth. The East River.
il seems, lacks this essential and can
not lay claim hereafter to the title Of
river without committing contempt of

A SPEAKER ut the Woman Suffrage
Convention in Washington declared
that she had often wished she were q
man, but only for the reason that she
could then vote. The female suffragists'
idea OF the privileges and blessings en-
ioycd by the masculine portion of au-
manity differs somewhat from that held
by their weaker-minded sisters. One
of the latter was lately heard to ex-
press wish that she had been born a
