regular way. lie went up to supper and
aitcrwnrd, while strolling about the
rotunda. he pulled out those checks.
Something seemed to catch his eye, for he
stood looking Mt and examining the pieces
Of brass very intently. Very suddenly he
started for the baggage room and said he
wanted those checks changed. The gen
tleman Of color in charge had no objection
to changing them. but his curiosity was
aroused to know why they were not as
good as any others. Why, said the guest.

ONE DEAD


Is It deep sleep, or is it rather denth'
Rest anyhow il is, and sweet is rest:
No more the doubtful blessing of the breathi
Our God hath said thai silence is the best,
And thou art silent as the pale round moon,
And near thee is our births great mystery.
Alas! We knew not thou wouldst go 50 soon
We cannot toll where sky is lost in sea,
But only find LIES bark TO come and 80,
By wondrous Natures hidden force impcllcd,
Then melts the wake in sea. and none shall know
For certain which the course this vessel held
The lessening ship bylus no more is seen,
And sea and sky are just as they have been
