WHERE ARE WICKED FOLKS
BURIED?

"Tell me, grey-headed SEXTON" l said,
"Where in this field are the wicked folks
laid?
| have wandered the quiet old grave
yard through,
And studied the epitaphs, old and new ;
But on monument, obelisk, pillar, or
read of no evil that men have DONE"
The old sexton stood by a grave newly
made,
With his chin on his hand, his hand on
a spade;
knew by the CLEAN of his eloquent eye
That his heart was instructing his lips
to reply.
"Who is to judge when the soul takes
its fight?
Who is to judge. 'twixt the wrong and
the right?
Which Of us mortals shall dare to say
That our neighbor was wicked who died
to-day?
"In our journey through life, the further
we speed,
The better. we learn that humanity's
need
Is charity's spirit, that prompts us to find
Rather virtue than vice in the lives OF
our kind.
"Therefore, good deeds we record on
these stones;
The evil men do, let it die with theil
bones.

CURE FOR BILIOUsNEss.-The way
to get the better of the bilious sys-
tenn without blue pills Or quinine, is
to take the juice Of one, two or
three lemons, as appetite Graves, in
as much water as makes it pleasant
to drink without sugar, before going
to bed. In the morning, on rising,
at least half an hour before break
fast, take the juice of one lemon in
a goblet of water. This will clear
the'system of humor and bile with
efficiency, without any of the weak
ening effects Of .calomel. People
should not irritate the stomach by
eating lemons clear; the, powerful
acid of the juice, which is always
most corrosive, invariably produces
inflammation after a while, but prop
erly diluted, so that it does not
barn or draw the throat, it does it's
medical work without harm, and
when the stomach is clear of food,
has abundant opportunity to work

going over it, he came down in the
middle of it.
The mud was very thick and soft,
and Tom sank down in it to his
waist. He was very much fright
ened, and screamed for help. But
he had not much hope that help
would come, for he was a long way
from any house.
He screamed until he was tired.
He began to think he would have
to spend the night in the ditch,
when he heard steps on the grass.
Looking up he saw the ragged boy
he had driven from the gate:
"Please help me out" said Tom,
crying. Il will give you a dollar"
81 don't want the dollar" said
the boy, lying down fiat on the
grass. He held out both his hands
to Tom, and drew him out of the
ditch. s..... r..
Tom was covered with mud, his
hat was gone, and one shoe was
lost in the ditch. He looked very
miserable. ....... ..

II think so, too," said Tom.
The next day, when Tom saw
the boy going by the gate, he called
him in, showed him his rabbits

a ride on his pony.

The condition of the wages class
of that day may well be examined;
it is full of instruction for social
agitators. In the great cities I'M
skilled workmen were hired by the
day, bought their W food and
found their own lodgings. But in
the country, on the farms, or wher-
ever a band was employed on some
public work, they were fed and
lodged by the employer and given a
few dollars a month. On the Penn
sylvania canals the diggers ate the
coarsest diet, were housed in the
rudest sheds and paid S. a month
from May to November, and So a
month from November to May.
Hold carriers and mortar mixers,
diggers and choppers, who, from
1893 to 1900, labored on the public
buildings and cut the streets and
avenues Washington city, received
$40 a year, or, if they wished, $50
for all the work they could perform
from March l to December 20. The
hours of work were invariably from
sunrise to sunset. Wages at Albany
and New York were three shillings,
or, as money then went, forty cents
a day; at Lancaster, So to $40 a
month elsewhere in Pennsylvania
workmen were content with Sc in
Summer and S. in Winter. At
Baltimore men were glad to be hired
at eighteen pence a day. None, by
the month, asked more than Sc.
At Fredericksburg the price oflabor
was from S. to 81. In Virginia,
white men, employed by the year,
were given sixteen pounds cur

clothed and their masters paid one

WHERE TOM FOUND HIS MAN.
NERS.

Toms father was a rich man, and
Tom lived in a large house in the
country. He had a pony and many
other pets and wore fine clothes.
Tom was very proud Of all the fine
things his fathers money bought.
He began to think that being rich
was better than being good. He
grew very rude and was 0 to the
servants. Once he kicked Towser;
but the dog growled and Tom was
afraid to kick him again.
One day, when Tom was playing,
in the yard he saw a boy standing
by the gate. He was ragged and
dirty; but he had a pleasant face.
In one hand he carried a pail half
full of blackberries.

running to the gate. "We are

The boy laughed and walked
away, swinging the pail in his hand.

berries, too" said Tom to himself.
He went out of the gate into a lane
leading to a meadow where there
were plenty of berries.
Tom saw some fine, large ones
growing just over a ditch. He
thought he could leap over it very
easily. He gave a run and a very
big Jump. The ditch was wider than
