THE ANGEL PASSED BY.

Down through the village street, -.
Where the slanting sunlight waa sweet,
Swiftly the angel came; III
His face like the star of even, a-aks.
When night Is gray In the heaven; =.
His hair was a blown gold flame. "
His wings were purple of bloom, =
And eyed as the peacock's plumc;
They trailed and famed In the air;
Clear brows with an aureole trimmed.
The gold ring frightened and dimmed,
Now rose, now fell on his hair
Oh, the marvellous eycsl
All strange with rapt surprise;
They mused and dreamed as he went;
The great lids, dropping and white, ~
Screened the glory from sight;
His lips were most innocent.
His clear hands shining withal ID
Bore lilies, silver and tall,
That had grown in the presence Of God;
His robe was fashioned and spun
OF threads from the heart of the sun;
His feet with white fire were shod.
o friend, with tho grave, white brow,
No dust of travel hast thou,
Yet thou hast come from afar,
Beyond the sun and the moon,
Beyond the night and the noon,
And thy brother the evening start
nc cutcICu III III tuC SutC,
Where the.law-givers sit in their state,
Where the law-breakers shiver and quake !;
The rustling of his long wings,
Like music from gold harp strings,
Or songs that the dear birds make.
None saw as he passed their way;
But the children paused In their play,
And smiled as his feet went by;
A bird sang clear from the nest,
Aud a babe on its mothers breast
Stretched hands with an eager cry.
The women stood by the we'll,
Most grave, and the laughter fell,
Tie chatter and gossip grew mute;
They raised their hands to their eyes,
Had the gold sun waxed in the skies;
Was that the voice Of lutcs
All in the stillnes and heat
The angel passed through the street,
Nor psusing nor looking behind,
Gods finger-touch on his lips;
His great wings fire at the tips;
His gold hair flame in the wind.

How Uncle Sam Is Bied.

Milwaukee Sentinel.
An insight into the government way of doing
things is given in the report of the commission
in charge of the work of building the new library
structure at Washington.
Up to this date the work done is the digging
OF the cellar. Around this cellar, at cost Of
$500, is high board fence constructed of the
best seasoned pine, grooved painted and water
tight, to keep persons from falling into the
cellar. Not stone has been laid, because the
engineer is not satisfied with the kind of granite
offered. But although not stone has been
laid. the work has already cost $97, 266 70. Most
of this has gone to corps of thirty-six officials
and employees. The salaries of these
mostly idle officials amount to $40, S35

GAS at cents is all that offer factories.
Gas on basis of ST. per ton for coal we do
not offer. That would be gas at the rate of
3 f-3 cents thousand.-News.
The ordinance provides that gas shall be
furnished to manufacturers in one of three
ways-irst, at so per cent of the cost of
Indiana steam coal at So per ton; second, by
fneter measurement at cents per thousand
feet; third, by special contract. The first
rate, 80 per cent. of the cost Of coal at So per
ton, means coal at ST. per ton. with the large
additional saving of no hauling or handling of
ashes, stokers' wages, etc. A factory that
is not satisfied with fuel put at that rate, and
prefers to go to some small town where it can
get bonus, is probably not worth having.
There is no trouble in the ordinance rates.
They are low enough to give the city big
boom when get gas. AS the News has
been pounding and expounding the ordinance
for some months past, it ought to know what
the rates are, and not put out a misleading
and damaging statement like the above.
