FACES IN CHICAGO.
What an Observer May See in the Garden
City's Busy Streets.


Walk up State street, ride on a
street car, stand around q suburban
depot-how many daffodils do you
seep How many faces that bear evil
dence of sunshiny hearts? How many
eyes that tighten with pure and kindly
inner fires? You will see hosts of
hard-fcatured men and women scut-
Ting along in their various callings,
pursuing vocations where their aim is
not so much to serve worthily us to
maintain their so-called rights. You
will see tobacco-impregnated men
expectorating on stair-cases where
women are forced to trail their skirts;
you will see cadaverous faces where the
abuse of hygenic laws has left its
death-like mark; you will see untidy
people, who ought to be corralled like
wolves and kept from blighting the
pure air with their noisome presence;
you will see lazy eyes and suspicious,
hawk. like brows, and sensual lips, and
cruel mouths, and idiotic chins, and
pinched and mincing gaits, and pow
dered and painted cheeks and arti-
fetal bangs and frizzes; but tell me,
oh, tell me, for the love of sweet
Heaven, where will you see any thing
better than this sad category How
often will you encounter face that
you will take on trust? or an eye that
you know borrows its light from
Heaven? or a manner that is sweet
and cordial rs the breath of rose in
the dew? Number. them on your
fingers. my dear, and only u.s. one
hand in a days travelling. - Chicago
Journal.
Sharp County record., 1888-04-19
ON THE ROAD.

The snow is white, the way is stern and sore,
Wide, binding wastes behind us and before;
And tho we soon shall see a stiller shore
The road is long.
The gaunt, grey wolves are famished for their
prey,
But we are bound, and hungrier than they;
The fruit will fall when we ourselves are
clay
The road is long.
We leave strong hands to cleanse away the
stain,
Tho we plod on along the shudderng plain
To marching-music of the creaking chain
The road is long.
The sands of Tyranny are slow to run,
Alas that this and many morrow's sun
Must see the goal ungained the work un-
done
The road is long,
Our lives were ladder-rungs: the Cause moves
on;
The light shines fair as ever it has shone;
Twill blaze full bright ere many years be
gone
The road is long.
We are but bubbles breaking in the sea,
The strong, slow tide that one day will be free;
We shall not know it-yea, but it will be.
The road is long.

EMPEROR WILLIAM AGE.
No Monarch Known Who Reached th'
Number of His Years.

Long rcigns are rare in history
long royal lives much rarer still
Princes occupy one of the lowest levels
in the whole range of longevity. The
air of courts is destructive Of health,
nerve aud vigOr. Lives which early
corruption, luxurious and effeminate
habits, unchecked passions and un'
ceasing excitement do not undermine
are frequently shortened by consum-
ing ambition or care, warlke toll and
peril, or the murderous hand of con-
spiracy, Among the remarkably long
reigns in history are those of Uzzah
of Judah (ffty-two years., Mithridatcs
of Pontus (ifty-seven), Sapor II. Ct
Persia (5eventy-one), Alfonso l. OF
Portugal (Seventy-three), Frederick
ILL., of Germany (tifty-thrce), Chris
tan ". of Denmark (sixty),
Louis xiv. of France (seventy-
two), Gorge III. Of England
(ifty-nine), Ferdinand ". of Naples
(sixty-fve), and Pedro H. of Brazil
(ifty-seven). But Uzziah was
youth when he was placed on the
throne, Mithridates a boy, Sapor a
newborn babe, Alfonso an infant
Christian eleven years old, Louis four,
Ferdinand nine, and Pedro five, and
of all the monarchs mentioned only
George III. reached the age of four
score. Poland had one King who
lived to the age of eighty eight
Staulslas Loszczynski; but he reigncd
only five years and survived his
throne tifty-six years, living in quiet
retirement We must 60 back to the
days of antiquity to find Emperor
Williams royal peers in age, and the
only ones we discover are Hero II. OF
Syracuse AMI Masinissa of Numdla'
both of whom ended their reign at the
age of about ninety. The reign Oh
Rameses H., Pharaoh Of Egypt--tho
Sesostris of the Greeks-is believed by
some Egyptologists to have lasleu
about siXty-seven years and his Iil0
about one hundred, but Others reduce
both his reign and his days to norma
proportions. Thus no Emperor known
to history, no reigning King Il.
Christendom, ever reached the age u

"A citizen of Smithville, Ga, says
that the otLer morning hearing voice
in an old log pen by the roadside, he
looked in. He saw an aged and dilapi-
dated stranger on his knees praying:

that he never failed to pray,
