LONGING.
Come into my heart love,

Come into my heart love,
Lie is slipping by;
Cons and chase the shadows, love,
From darkening sky.
Come, and to an aching heart
Bring thy healing balm;
Come, and still the tempest, love.
To the deepest calm
Mine has been weary life,
Full of grief and pain;
Come, and in its closing hours
Make sweet refrain.
Come, and through the sunset clouds
Cast golden ray
Lighting up the dreary road
To eternal day

A RICH MAN AND A MOUSE TRAP.
HOW BEER BREWERS DRIN!
Milwaukee Sentinel.l

lniAsuuhCc ocuIluei
eve have one man who drinks
100 glasses per day." This answer
was in reply to question of a
reporter as to how much beer the
employees in the Milwaukee brew
cries consumed. The speaker was
gentleman who was engaged in
the office of an extensive brewing
company. "What is the average
consumption per man p "Abou.
one aud one-fourth gallons, or forty
glasses, daily. AS a rule, our en-
ployees drink fifty oue-quarter bar
rels a day-nearly slOO worth.
During warm days this number is
increased to sixty quarters or more.
Each man generally takes two
glasses at one time, which would
make the number of visits to the
bar about twenty during the day.
Allowing three minutes only for
each time he knocks off work, there
is one hour which he loses in this
way. Some of the men have to
walk a block and further, aud it Of
ten takes about five minutes"
"Where is the bar generally To-
cated?" "Our's is in corner of
the wash house. We pay a man
$50 o month to draw beer for the
men, and he earns his money, TOO.
He does nothing else." "Do your
employees get as much beer as they
can hold since the late striker"
"They receive all they want"

The FLORIDA PARISHES En-
TITLED TO THE NEXT
CONGRESSMAN.

There are eight parishes on the
east side of the Mississippi river
that are in the Sixth Congressional
District. These parishes have been
faithful to the Democratic party,
and were among the first in the
State to throw off the Republican
yoke. They have men of recog.
nized ability, and those who would
not bring discredit upon the Dis.
trict, and are deserving of honor at
the hands of their fellow-citizens.
The question here also arises, are
not some one of these parishes men,
toned entitled to some of the hon.
ors of the party, as well as entitled
to some legislation in their behalf
in Congress? Let MS see what can
be done, frends.-Amue City Ga
zette.
The Gazette is about right, only
it ought to be a little more so, and
we hope yet to see it, and every pa
per in the Florida parishes, come
out squarely for our candidate,
Judge JAS. NJ. Thompson. His
ability and fitness for the position
is universally recognized. He has
served the people of this District,
and the State, with distinguished
ability, in various positions of trust
and responsibility, and his honor
able and successful career, up to
the present time, is sufficient evil
dence that he is capable of greater
things in the future, in an enlarged
sphere of usefulness. Tie Florida
parishes have always been faithful
to the Democratic party, and hav-
ing labored for its success, they are
certainly entitled to some of the
honors. st. Landry. East Baton
Rouge and Ayoyelles parishes have
been SO honored in the past, and it
is now time for the Florida parish
es to assert their rights and press
their claims to recognition. And
in all these parishes there is no man
more fitted for the position, in all
respects, than Judge Jas. NJ.
Thompson. He is young, active
and energetic; he possesses, in an
eminent degree, all the attributes
and requirements that 60 to make
an efficient and useful member of
Congress. He knows the wants Of
the people, and their rights, and
has the ability to maintain them.
In fact, he is just the man for the
place, and the people will be hon
oring themselves by comforting this
honor upon him. "Let us see whas
can be done, friends"

Perhaps some of our readers
would like to know what it costs to
advertise in big metropolitan daily
papers. For their delectation we
will give them some figures. A
yearly single column advertisement
in the Chicago Tribune for one
year costs the advertiser 500. 900.
The lowest column in the New York
Herald costs $4,000 a year, and
high priced ones realize the start
ling amount of $3Si,000 a year.
These figures are correct, though
they may seem Incredible.

Clerk of the Police Jury of Wash

The following extracts will show
how it is done:
A FIVE CENT SPECTATOR.
The Washington correspondent
of the Cleveland Leader says:
Some of the funniest scenes about
Washington are found in the street
cars, and there is no better place in
which to study human nature. All
classes ride in them. from the Cabi-
net minister to the messenger in the
department, and I have had as my
companions at ore time general of
the army. the chief justice of the
supreme court, a letter carrier, a
dressnaker, and Sam Randall. I
ride down town every morning in
five cent herdic, and I often have
the chief of II great government bu-
reau as my seat mate. He is man
we'll known throughout the country,
and he receives salary of $4,000 a
year. l have noticed that he al
ways takes his seat nearest the fare
box, and that he buys a package of
six tickets for quarter when lie
sits down. He tnkes pains to offer
to pass up oil the fares aud puts
them into the box for his fellow
passengers. Whenever a nickel is
given him he changes it into his
pocket aud puts into the box one
of his tickets, so that when he has
received five nickels lie is one tick
1t ahead. He tins gets his ride
free. 1t makes no difference to any
one, l suppose. but it looks small
for a $4,000 man.
RICH MAN AND A MOUSE TRAP.
A wealthy man of Genesee, H.,
was annoyed by mouse in bis
residence. He went to store and
selected ten-cent mouse-trap, say
ing that lie would take it home and
try it. A few days later he return
ed the trap. with the remark that
it did not suit. An examination re-
vealed mouse hairs in the trap.
