A DIFFERENCE.

Discussing a topic which recent events
have rendered timely, it may be said tina;
there is a radical difference between the
claims of labor and those of capital. 1t
is easy to forget the difference in the
maze Of resemblanccs. Labor claims ade-
quate wages capital demands special pro-
lection. Both are TO a certain extent
wrong in asserting any special claim
whatever. 1t might be a queer assertion
to maintain that these forces, which DEM
agogues endeavor to a~ntagonize, are IN
fact cor-relative or supplementary to each
other. Why, capital Is the measure of
labor, and OF labor worth, the world
over 1t may be regretted, but the here
toiore.infiexlble law of supply and demand

has under consideration a bill to classify
and fix the salaries Of registers and receiv-
ers, which provides a fixed salary in lieu
Of the usual and present compensation by
fees. The Offices, according TO this act.
will be classified and salaries apportioned
upon the basis of receipts. The fees will
still be charged, but instead of becoming
part of the compensation Of officers, must
be turned into the treasury, from which
an order will issue for the salary Of each
individual officer, according to the classif-
cation Of the place he holds.

Sad mortal couldest thou but know
What truly it means to die,
The wings of thy soul would glow,
And the hopes of thy heart beat high:
| Thou wouldst turn from the Pyrrhoni
schools,
And laugh their iargon to s;.nru.
AS the babble OF midnigh, fools
Ere the morning of truth he born:
But earth's madness above,
| In kingdom of stormcSS breath
gaze on the glory of love
In the unveiled face of Death
| tell thee his face is fair
AS the moon bows amber rings,
And the CLEAN in hi, unbound hair
Like the flush Of Il thousand Springs:
| His smile is the fathomless beam
OF the star-shines sacred light,
When the Summers of Southland dream
In the lap of the holy Night:
For |, earth's blindness above,
In a kingdom of halcyon breath
gaze on the marvel of love
In the unveiled face of Death
In his eyes Il heaven there dwells-
But they hold few mysteries now
And his pity for earth's farewells
Half burrows that shining brow:
Souls taken from Times cold tile
He folds to his fostering breast,
And the tears of their grief are dried
Ere they enter the courts of rest:
And still, earth's madness above,
In a kingdom of stormless breath,
| gaze on 4 light that is love
In the unveiled face of Death.
Through the speudor of stars impearl,d
In the glow of their far-off grace,
He is soaring world by world,
With the souls i'll his strong embrace:
Lone others, unstirred by u wind,
At the passage of Death grow sweet,
With the fragrance that floats behind
The flask of his winged retreat;
And |, earth's madness above,
Mid a kingdom of tranquil breath.
Have gaZed on the ustre OF love
In the unveiled face of Death
But beyond the stars and the sun
| can follow him still on his way,
Fill the pearl white gates are won
In the calm of the central day.
Far voices of fond acclaim
Thrill down from the place OF souls
As Death, with touch like flame,
Uncloses the goal of goals;
And from heaven of heavens above
God speaketh with bateless breath
My angel of perfect love
Is the angel men call Death

WHY HE DISAPPEARED
A Romance of the War.


When the war broke out i'm Dutton
was the postmaster at BlIe Rock. He
held the position for number of years,
and no man in the settlement stood
higher. inns strong point was his
honesty. He had very little book Learn
ing, and was ignorant Of the ways OF
the world. Still, with the assistance of
his wife, charming little women, he
succeeded in managing the business of
the postoftice in such manner as to
give general satisfaction.
While the new Confederate Govern
ment was getting its affairs in order the
old machinery organized under the
United States authorities continued to
run on. This was not a public neces-
sity, as the postmasters could not all be
changed in an instant, or be recommis-
stoned. AS clever Georgian, though
not a strong Confederate, Jim Dutton
held on under the new regime and did
his duty. But it was only for couple
of weeks. One morning the villagers
found the postoffice closed, and inves-
tigation disclosed the fact that Dutton
and his wife had misteriously disaP-
peared. The money and accounts of
the office turned out to be all right and
nobody could understand why Jim and
his wife should have slipped off at night
without leaving a clue. 1t was ascer-
tanned that day or two before their
departure the postmaster mortgaged his
cottage and furniture for almost their
full value as security for loan which
he had obtained. So the couple did
not go away unprovided with money.
No event ever in the history of Blue
Rock created such intense excitement.
1t was tantalizing mystery, and it was
impossible to unravel it. The rapid
progress of the war, however, soon alb
sorbed public attention, and the button
episode ceased to be talked about.
Some time ago, in a little town in
Western Texas, | accidentally ran
against Jim Dutton. There was no
mistaking the man. Time had dealt
gently with him, and he looked pros

with hearty Hello, Jim Duttor "
Jim turned and fell all to pieces, SO
to speak. He recognized me and shook
hands. After long and pleasant con-
versation, Jim said:
Colonel, | reckon YOU would like to
know why my wife and l left Blue
Rock"
"Well, you may explain, if you feel
like it," replied.
Later, in my room at the hotel be
fore a blazing fire, and with good
cigar to stimulate him. Dutton unbo-
somed himself to me.
