The Theological Walters.

At many of the summer resorts.
which are patronized so literally by
people from the cities in search Of
fresh air, the walters are often theo.
logical students who utilize the oppor
tunity of gathering in shckels to assis,
them in bearing the expense of the 7
future education.
The theological waiter is. generally
speaking. mild, sad-faced young man
with pensive expression. The best
III NJ about him Is the absence of beard.
The bearded waiter usually carries q
good deal of it about in sections on his
soup plates. For this reason the theo-
log cal waiter corrals many quie;
dime which would otherwise continue
TO nestle costly in the garments of the
city boarder. -rs
In other respects the amateur waiter
is "a full OF discrepancies rs shad il
ot bones. He is SO slow that the
boarder takes, beside the usual corr
beef and cabbage, an hour and half
to eat his dinner. This is particularly
the case with the boarder who fails ia
tip the waiter. 1t Is said that every
thing comes to the man who waits, but
the boarder who waits for his dinner,
but don't tip the waiter, don't &c,
much, and what he does get is usually
poured down the back of his neck, &C.
cidentally of course.
The theological waiter never smiles.
When the furnished boarder says that
the beef in that hostelry is so tough you
can't stick fork in the gravy. or ex-
presses surprise that the chickens run
pr Dcipally to neck and collar bone. OIL
that the h. G. on the Boston crackers
means "Before Christ" so old are they,
in none of these cases does the waiter
smile. Either he has heard those
chestnuts before, or else he considers
it wicked to jest on serious subjects. fol-
a sad look like that of an undertaken
screwing down coffin lid comes over
his features.
The only time that the gloom is par.
tally dispelled is when the departing
guest shoves quarter at him. AS the
theological waiter blend, for q brief
moment, faint smile. like CLEAN OF
sunshine on tombstone, comes owe
the tablet of his thoughts. but it does
not stay there. 1t is only transfer,

am so tired--it is no use,
Ny will cannot my need obey;
o Care, ask few hours truce,
i pray thee let me rest to-day.
And 30, shut up in restful gloom,
let my hands drop listlessly;
Within my dim and silent room
would not move, or hear, or see,
oblivion dropped on me her balm,
fell on slumber deep aud sweet,
And when | woke was strong and calm,
And full Of rest from head 10 feet.
So, toIler in llfe's weary ways,
Pity myself, for thou must tire;
Both body, mind aud heart have days
They can not answer their desire.
Birds In all seasons do not sing, soy
Flowers have their time to bloom and fall
There Is not any living thing
Can answer 10 ceaseless call.
Sometimes, tired head, seek slumber deep;
Tired hands, no burden try to lift;
Tired heart, thy watch let others keep,
Pity myself and let life drift.
A few hours rest perchance may bring
Relief from WEAKNESS and pain;
And thou from listless langours spring,
Aud gladly lift thy work again.

A CENT MADE HIM.
The story OF Trsmp's Rise TO ANU


ence.
Into small crack OF the ledge of the
toll-window at the South-side end OF
the Smithfield street bridge are firmly
driven two copper cents. They are tar
nished and dull, and probably never
are noticed by the hundreds who daily
pass their pennies over them.
Yet these two cents have a very ro-
mantle history. which was rehearsed to
areporter by "Dick" Porter, the genial
night collector. This one," he sad,
pointing to one whose edge was just
visible, twas owed to me for thirteen
years. In the spring of 1872 a man
named Charles Henderson came to me
about 10 clock at night, and said he
wanted to cross the bridge, but was
busted He declared upon his honor
that he would pay me back the cent.
That's an old game. and IL I've heard
that promise once I've heard it a thous.
and times.
IL never expected to get the cent,
and ! told him he could go over. He
asked me for piece of paper. and TAX
ing out his pencil wrote his name at the
end of a note drawn in my favor for
one cent, payable at sight. The idea
of giving note for one cent struck me
as rather amusing. and instead OF
throwing it down l put it carefully
away and then forgot all about it.
Zone night, about year ago, a we'll
dressed gentleman came over the
bridge and stopped at my window.
''.Is there gentleman here named
X chard Brokaw?" he inquired. told
him that was may name.
Jewell. I've come to pay note
owe you, he said. thought the man
must be crazy. couldn't even re.
member ever seeing him, much less
lending him any money. Observing
my puzzled looks he said: ~. 5.
do you remember one night thir-
teen years ago poor man came to
you and asked you to pass him over the
bridge because he had no money; then
he gave you a note for cent, signed
Charles Henderson,? Well, I'm Charles
Henderson. want to pay you that
cent with interest At the regular rate
of interest for that time the interest
would almost equal the principal, sc
III just give you cents.

had not lent me that cent l coulo not
have gone to Pittsburgh, nor worked
the freight-cars, nor gone to work on

That cent made me.
HE then gave me long history OF
his life. and. after leaving his address
and telling me to write to him If ever
needed friend, he left me. He
wanted 10 give me a nice sum of money,
but wouldn't take it. l never have
heard from him since, except one day
got paper which stated that he had
been elected mayor of one of the most
thriving cities of the west. I'll not

ey. but they'll stay in that window sill

Is Lager Beer an lntOxicant?

A stone cutter, whose Office adjoined
his stone yard. was seated in his Office
when friend called upon him, and
they discussed several topics together.
among them the question as to what
extent lager beer was an intoxicant.
The stone cutter maintained that beer
was not intoxicating, while his friend
maintained the opposite.
The stone cutter said. there is man
at work in the yard (pointing to q
brawney chested Germany, who could
drink a bucket (three gallons) Of beer
at one sitting and feel none the worse
for it. The friend doubted. and q
wager was made and the workman
called, who, when asked II he could
drink that bucket (pointing to q large
water buckcD full Of beer at one sitting,
replied: ~ 2"
"vell. don'd know; I lets you know
after vile."
The German went away, and after
remaining about fifteen minutes, re-
turned and said: J ~ DOHf)
"Yes. / can drink dot peer"
The bucket Of beer was procured and
placed before the German, who very
soon absorbed the last drop. and arose
from his seat wiping his mouth with
his sleeve, and was walking away with
a firm step when his employer recalled
him and said:
See here, my friend and have
some curiosity to know why you did
not drink the beer when you were first
asked"
The German replied:
