THE KINGS GATE.


A beggar sat at the Kings gate
Aud sang of summer IN the rain
a song with sounds reYerberate
OF wood and hill and plain.
That, rising, bore tender weight
or sweetness strong and passionate;
A song with sigh of mountain pass,
Ripple and rustic Of deep grass,
The whispering OF wind-smotc sheayes,
Low tapping of long lily leaves,
Red mOrns and purple moOned ewes.
Tie King was weary Of his part
The King was tired Of his crown;
He looked across the rainy land,
Across the barren stretch Of sand,
out to the breath Of rainy sea.
He heard the wind beat loud and free
The gilded easement, sullcnly
railing away with mist and rain.
But oh, IT'S weary thing
To wear crown and be King,
Oh, for one golden hour and sweet
TO serve the King with willing feet!n
But he would sleep, and from his heart
The jeweled, silken glrdle loose,
And give II room to turn and choose
An easier measure for It's beat.
Into the gilded chamber crept
breath OF summer, blown with rain
And wild, wet leaves against the pane.
Theroyal sleeper smiled and slept.
II thought that all things sweet were dead -
They heard him say who came to wed
The crown again TO the Kings head.

nlopea wi.I. co,orea servant.

Miss Ina Norton, beautiful young lady,
daughter Of a prominent citizen of Cleye-
land, o., attended a progressive euchre
that as her carriage was at the door she
begged TO be excused and Withdrew. Out
side the house she met former colorel
servant, named Barber, to whom she had
been quietly married in the morning at the
residence of colored minister. Together
the two proceeded TO the depot, where they
are after the truant couple, and II is hoped
that Mrs. Barber may be persuaded TO re-
turn to her home, Barber, II fcaptured, will
be prosecuted

fiini,in Siuiiiibus.

The old recipe Of "a hair OF the dog that
bit you' was almost literally realized in
prescription for the cure OF hydrophobia
much in vogue with the "Pasteurs" OF the
fifteenth century. "Take q mastifT pup of
o month old and stun the same with cloves,
cinnamon and divers other spices, and
thereafter boil the carcass entire, the which,
taken warm from the pot and laid into the
part that had been bitten, will, without
doubt, do much good"--whlch, somehow
or other, II did not. a more primitive but
more successful method was employed
within the memory Of living men In a re-
mote part Of Ireland, the patient being the
eldest son of the family, a fine lad OF 10.
His recovery appearing hopeless from the
exhibited, the doctors decided upon bleed
ing him to death as the only alternative to
the barharous plan Of smotherng under
feather bed, which was then common. A
vein was opened, and he was locked into an
ou,housc and left to die. But toward even
ing, the milkmaid of the household, pass
ing near the spot with her pail, was amazed
10 hear the sufferers voice family asking
for something to drink Oyerioyed at
this unmistakable sign Of recovery, she lost
no time IN summoning assistance, and the
young mans life was saved, the physicians
asctibing his extraordinary escape TO the
carrying of of the poison by the copious
low of blood
Red as a Rose Was His Nose.
\ ferryman who had a strong affection
for whisky entered a public house some
time ago for his usual dram. lie emptied
the glass into a tumbler, which he put to
his lips, and then removing it, said to the
landlord:
"Man, It's fine VII n strawberry int"
"Therc's nae strawberry int" said the
landlord.
"There Is no.? Taste it,
The fcrryman had been deceived by the
reflection ON the bottom of the tumblcr by

SENATOR SHERMAN said in his speech
TO the Ohio Legislature yesterday that
he could never see why in State affairs
politics should be brought into play
Senator Sherman said this, however,
after he had been reelected to the
Senate The choice of members of the
Legislature is certainly State affair
and if politics had not had something
to do with the election and seating of
the present members of the Ohio Lcgis.
lature the chances are that Mr.. Shcr-
man would not be his own successor.
The advice of people after an event is
often more disinterestcd than ii was
before.

IT is stated in a Washington special
10 the New York Graphic that Mr..
Hail. our Minister to Central America,
who is now in Washington, will shortly
return to his post of duty, with full in
structions to make treaties with the
Central American republics by which
protcctorates shall be established over
them by the United States. We are
inclined to doubt the entire accuracy
of this statement We do not believe
that the Administration contemplates
going into that kind of business in the
near future. What this Government
most needs, before jumping into any
aggrandizing scheme of the character
suggested, is the establishment of Il
proteetoratc over itself.
