OratOry Highly Appreciated.

The recent railroad blockade recalls
story that distinguished Name gentle
man tells against himself. Some years
ago he was making a journey Down
East when his train became snowbound.
1t was then evening and there was no
hone of progress until daylight. But
near at hand was little village which
boasted public hall. 1t was suggested
that the passengers adjourn to the nan
and listen to an address by their dlstln-
puished fellow traveller.
He finally consented to do his part
the hall was warmed and lighted, ana
the lecture took place.
The next day the gentleman was ap-
preached by a sturdy young yeoman,
who said:
scYou're the man who made the speech
last night, amt you2"
The identity having been duly estab-
lished, he went on:

as she read the letter that told her that
her lover was coming home to her, free
from the tempteI's tolls, and Annie
smiled gladly as she unconsciously hum
med the last line of the song she had
been singing.
''I must tell papa" said Dora, at last.
"And then we will make our visits, but
fear we shall make them shorter than
usual. Norman may come at any time
now you know"
With light hearts they performed
their errands of mercy, and were return
ing when, just as Dora stepped forward
to cross the street, careless in her great
JOY, pair of spirited horses dashed
along as she turned to Annie with a
laughing remark. Another moment and
she would have been trampled beneath
the iron-shod hoofs, but firm, strong
arm encircled her waist and she was
snatched from death to look into the
face of her lover, older and graver, but
with firm, tender lines about the mouth,
and an earnest purpose in his clear eyes.
1t was a joyful party that gathered in
Mr. Ellsworth's parlor that night, and
none felt happier than Mr.. Ellsworth
himself, who said, as he grasped the
Young mans hand -
''Better six years of misery than g
lifetime, Norman. l knew that the
Scotch blood in your veins would bring
you right it time"
When the other guests had departed,
Norman said, as he and Dora sat by the
window alone:-
"Will you fulfill the promise of the
song, Dora9 have fought the battle and
conquered. All, sweetheart, fall womeI
only knew their influence, and would
use it as bravely as you have done, there
would be less drunkards in the world

at her side, and sang again the song tt
which he had listened with far ditferen

An hour before she spoke OF things
That Memory to the dying brings,
And kissed me all the while;
Then, after some sweet parting words,
She seemed among her flowers and birds
Until she fell asleep.

And strew the gravel sweep.

The sunset and the sea;

Following home the harvest wains,
And shouting in their glee.
But when the daylight dies away.
And ships grow dusky in the bay,

And in the stiffness of the night,
Bright thoughts that end in dreams as

And hear the breakers on the bar

Jones of BInghamtOn.

A good story is told at the expense OF
Lieut.. Gov. Jones, of New York. The
Governor always signs his checks, bust
ness letters, etc., "Jones of Bingham
ton" Last week bill was brought to
him and he was asked to sign it as
quickly as possible, that it might be
sent Immediately to the Governor. Be-
ing busy himself at the time, he took
the pen, and with flourish dashed of
"Jones of Binghamton. 1t took one
of the engrossing clerks an hour to
erase the signature so that the bill could
be signed properly.
