REVOLT.

Barbarous Bill had stepped out to shoot a
few bears and other wild animals, and the
prisoners were alone with the band.
What in thunder is the reason, asked
old man Mulligan, that you fellows obey
every order of that young cub Are you
attached to him ~
NO. replied one of the gang, shudder-
ingly, I'VE fear and hate him, but we must
obey him. -
"Why I"
The men exchanged wondering glances.
-why-because its the regular
thing. We never read a dime novel in
which the Boy Chief was not held in awe
and unquestionably obeyed."
well, if | were one of your band I'd
give him a switching he'd never forget and
then clear him out. ~
Its great scheme !" shouted the out
laws, in wild enthusiasm at the novel idea.
Wen try it,"
Barbarous Bill returning at that moment,
one of his gang took him over his knee and
administered corporal punishment until the
youth howled for mercy.
1t only remains to be said that the next
day the Boy Bandit returned to New York
with Mr. Mulligan, and is now acting as err
rand boy in shoe store. ! hate to make

PART IT.
REVENGE AT LAST.

One year has passed. The SHOWS of an
other winter have fallen and passed away
the patent medicine men have all issued
new editions of their almanacs the veteran
actress has completed her eleventh annual
farewell tour
In the cavern in the heart of the Yo-
semitic which they make their rendezvous
are seated Barbarous Bill, the Boy Bandit,
and his lawless gang-all stalwart, black
bearded, professional ruffians from Ruffian-
vile, but mere puppets in the hands of their
boy chief
Away with YOU" shouts the youth, sud
denly springing to his feet. "a party of
travellers will cross yonder pass in an hour.
Go, capture them and bring them to me.
There will be gyurl among them, and the
outlaws voice grew tremulous For your
lives do not let her escape you"
One of the band, a man of Herculean
build, attempted to make some feeble objec-
ton, but an instant later blow from the
young chief stretched him senseless upon
the floor of the cave.
In an hour three captives were brought
in-an old man, his wife and their daughter,
whom the reader has already met
aha Matilda Mulligan,' Missed the boy
with a demoniac smile, you are in me
power at last -

We thank thee Lord, that thou hast sent
our party such a President
Through heat and cold. o Lord, We stand
In every quarter Of the land,
with mouths uplfted. II mayhap
our lips may touch official pap;
And thankful are We that We may
Stand waiting thus, day after day.
We do our duty by the state
We serve who only stand and wait
Some hloody tyrant, wild and rude,
Might give ''innOcuous desuetude''
To all our hopes and all our fears
BY cutting of our heads and ears;s
Therefore we're thankful TO be blest
With one who lets MS wait at rest.
We thank thee for the mugwumps, too,
Those noble patriots, leal and true,
Who get the jobs we want Ia I'LL
And dabble IN the public till.
We thank thee for the great reform
Which DER tine country, like a storm,
Has swept with strong, r'sistless tide,
And left us Democrats outside
To wage a ceaseless, payless strife
With dull affairs Of private life.
We thank thee for all these, O Lord
'Tis noble after all our tolls
To yield To others all the spuils!
It's noble ny, and that's enough!
It's noble, but it's p. d. rough,
Washington critic

Shemuel the Bethlehemite.
Watched fevered guest at night;
All his fellows Jared aheld.
Saw the angel host revealed:
He nor caught the mystic story.
Heard the song nor saw the glory.
Through the night they gazing stood.
Heard the holy multitude:
Back they came In wonder home,
Knew the Christmas kingdom come.
Eyes afiame, and hearts elated
Shemuel sat alone and waited
Works of mercy now, as then,
Hide the angel host from men;
Hearts atune to earthly love
Miss the angel notes above:
Deeds at which the world reiOices,
Quench the sound of angel voices.
So they thought. nor deemed from whence
His celestial recompense.
Shemuel. by the fever bed,
Touched by beckoning hands that led.
Died, and saw the Uncreated;
All his fellows lived. and waited

NOClurme.

O bird beneath the midnight sky.
As on my lonely couch lie.
I hear thee singing in the dark
Why sing not II
No star CLEANS meet thy wakeful eye;
No fond mate answers to thy cry;
No other voice, through all the dark.
Makes sweet reply.
Yet never skylark soaring high
Where sunlt clouds rejoicing lie,
Sang AZ thou singest in the dark
Not mute as l
O lone sweet spirit tell me why
So far thy ringing lOve-notes fly,
While other birds, hushed by the dark,
Are mute as l.
No prophecy of morn is nigh
Yet as the sOmbre hours glide by
Bnvely thou singest in the dark
Why sing not L.

By thy own souls law learn TO live,
And if men thwart thee, take no heed,
And If men hate thee, have no care;
Sing thou thy song, and do thy deed,
Hope thou thy hope, and pray thy prayer,
And claim no crown they will not give,
Nor bays they grudge thee for thy hair
Keep thou thy soul-woTn, steadfast oath,
And TO thy trust be true thy heart;
What thy soul teaches learn to know,
And play out thine appointed part
And thou shalt reap as thou shalt SOW;
Nor helped nor hindered in thy growth,
To thy fun stature thou shalt grow.
Fix ON thy future goal thy face,
And let thy feet be lured to stray
Nowhither; but be swift 10 run,
And nowhere tarry by the way;
Until at last the end is won,
And thou mayst look back from thy place
And see thy long days journey done.

MISCELLANY.
At EVENTtDE.


The breeze sinks down. and the long reach
OF barren sands
In the hot sun seems like the beach
OF desert lands.
Among the rocks no children run,
only some poor old women come
For drftwoOd drying in the sun.
'Tis full high noon, the tide is out,
We quiet are.
God knows what storms may sweep without
The harbor bar.
The sudden squall, the veering gale
May tear and wreck the distant sail
OF him we love. Our weak hearts fail.
It's sunset; the returning tide
Creeps up the sands.
The waves CLEAN with warm colors dyed
From tropic lands.
The fresh breeze watts the sound Of Joy
From lips Of many happy boy
To whom each wave brings a new toy.
A snow-whte sail fits cross the bar,
The light Is past.
But ere appears the evening star,
He comes at last.
His ship is moored with him beside
My duubting heart can dread abidey
Shall tomorrow fear ebb tide

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
A Better Feeling Obtains in Commercial Cir
cles-The Skies Clearing Up.

INDIANAPOLIS, April 27.
Meridanstreet merchants are talking more
cheerfully over the volume Of business now in
progress. and of the outlook for summer and
fall trade The fact is said one of the mer-
chants yesterday, business men on this street.
many of them, never seem satisfied with the vol
ume of their trade. One of his neighbor mer-
chants, who is chronic grumbler,
admitted to him a day or two ago
that their trade never has reached the
valume in March and April that it has this year.
still he tells people that trade is dull and when
pressed for a reason for making this remark,
when directly the reverse the case, he an
swered: "Well, we have got wholesale men
enough now here, and if we boast on our trade
it will likely induce wholesale merchants from
said the older merchant, 1--WE have but few as
selfish men on this street. Dry goods men are
busy, and prices are firm all along
the line. The hardware men and
leather dealers are having excellent trade.
grocers as WE'LL are selling pile of goods. The
advance in the sugar market has given more
snap to trade. In the produce markets there is
fair activity; prices all articles rule weak.
Eggs and poultry continue in large receipts;
prices Likely to go lower The provision market
presents no new features. The wool market
now attracts more attention: as yet, dullness
characterizes the market. Eastern papers re-
port: ''There ia fair business doing but man
ufacturers feel so uncertain about the future of
their business that it is decided check on active
movements. New contracts for goods are diff
cult to make, because it is doubtful If these con-
tracts could be completed, except at a loss, if
strikes occurred, and it is uncertain when
and in what shape disturbances of this
kind may come up. The only thing
that interferes with an active business is the
labor movement, and it would be great gain to
employees and employers if the questions at is
sue could be settled at an early day. The pros
poets of trade some months ago were never bet
ter, but now the future is SO uncertain manu-
facturers hesitate to stock up with raw material
and business is unsettled and unsatisfactory.
This feeling pervades every branch of trade
where contracts have to be made and there is
no hope of immediate relief. To what extent it
will interfere with the sale of the new clip re-
mains to be seen. If these disturbances had not
occurred there would have been, no doubt, con-
siderable competition. Last year the business
was fairly good, but cannot be said to have been
very profitable This year it is questionable how
it will turn out, and dealers and spectators will
have to take greater risks in prices.
Sluggishness was characteristic of the local
market to-day. Prices were hardly as strong as
on Monday, and dealers bid cautiously, prices

How to make q cheap and simple gate in a

Telegraph: "The fence is made as If no gate
were thought of, and then the wires are all
tightly stapled to the gate posts. After this a
light post is placed close to of the gate posts,
they are clipped between it and the gatepost
and the gate is then ready to swing the wires be-
ing hinges themselves Only fastening Is re-
quired to keep the loose post in place, and cate
