THE COMING MAN.

Only vagrant Of the street,
Raimeut Of rags and bare, soiled feet
sDaIy papersF' his constant cry,
White the hurryiag people passed him by.
Dlrty. tired and hungry was he;
But tho OF such shall the kingdom be.
Nobody thought and nobody cared
How the poor child felt or Jared
No fathers love had the little lad:
No mothers kiss to make him glad;
No friend or home in this gre It town:
Only the stars in the skies looked down
On the childish face, and seemed to shine
With the light Of pity and love divine.
Down the street, drums beating loud,
Came the gayly caparisoned crowd;
Banners, badges and golden lace,
And many wrinkled, war-won face;
While the great nag foated overhead,
WITH its stripes Of silver, blue and red,
And the eagle above; how his feet kept time!
How his thoughts with the music seemed to
chime.
Down went the papers; the music swelled
strong:
zhe boy was marching with the throng,
What tho his coat was only rag.
He felt like king beneath that flag.
And proud as q king he marched beside
The soldier who bore 1t in love and pride
Bloomed like flower the rainbow bars:
The blue field glitters with golden stars,
And Gods stars, cleaned thro' the summer
night,
Andthe boys blue eyes as stars shone bright
The gfay-haired veterans around him smiled
As they turned 70 look upon the child,
For sturdy be marched erect and free;
Type Of our great democracy.
Under the CRIME the face was fair;
The lights made an aureole round his hair
No voice might chide him or bid him stay;
That boy might-take their place some day;
Fight for the land as they had done;
Strive, till victory should be won.
Inthe soul Of that boy might wait the part
Which, played, should thrill nations heart.
o. the truly great are the truly wise:
The bright tears trembled In their eyes,
As ragged and dusty, side by side
With them he marched in joy and pride,
Looking up to the nag on high,
With glowing face and kindling eye
And the crowds looked on and wondered whe
They saw him there with these mighty men,
Ragged and unkempt, marching with those
Whose famous deeds all the great world knows
Given q place Of honor, beneath
Tho flag for which they had faced death.
But patiently down the stony street,
Flooded the small, tired, shoeless feet;
And the young face smiled beneath the grimt
For the heart in his bosom still kept time
With the music's triumphant strains So on,
And on. would he go. till the march was dont
For the lonely child, so friendless and poor
Had the hero's soul that could dare and Ell
dure.
And the nag floated free on the winds OF til
night;
AND the gold stars glittered bravely and bright
Brother. on life's road be it thus:
We are marching, come and go with u.s.
Speed to the best place, and there keep
Your rank, tho the way be stony and steep.
Poor and weary, and friendless. Yet still,
Fate bows down to dauntless will
TO the daring soul shall be given the prize;
Out Of the depths power will up-rise
And find its place. Who so will, can;
And Of such shall be the coming man!

By a vote of 40 to % the National en-

position for q service pension. The resolu-
ton as carried read as foIows:
Aes0ived That it is the sense of this encamp-
ment that the time has come when the soldiers
and sailors of the for the preservation Of the
Union should receiye the substantial and mer-
tied recognition OF this Government by granting
them service pensions. in accord with estab-
lshed usages, and further
Resosued, That this encampment favors the
presentation of a bill to Congress to give every
soldier and sailor or marine of the army navy
OF the United States between April, 1851. and
July. 1855, for the period OF sixty days or more,
service pension OF Is month and to those
whose service exceeded 500 days an additional
pension OF one cent per day for each days ser
vice exceeding that period.
Your committee also earnestly advocate the
passage of bill placing widows of the
soldiers sailors and marines on the pension list
without regard to time of the service or the
cause OF the soldiers death.
Your committee further report that we do not
withdraw our repeated approval OF the bill now
before Congress, which was proposed and in
troduced by the National Pension Committee.
known as the Disability Pension bill.
Discussion was cut short by demand
| for the previous question and a vote was
taken on the adoption of the minority re-
port. The result was: Ayes, SO; noes, 1856.
A vote was next taken on the ma jOrity re-
port and it was adopted by vote of 42O to
%. Fully one-third Of the delegates failed
to record their votes ON the question.
A great part of the two sessions was oc-
| cupied in the discussion of the subject. 1t
cropped up incidentally when nominations
| for Chief were in order.
| General N. Martin Curtis, of New York, a
| candidate for the position, gained the floor
| for the purpose of withdrawing his name,
but forgot it and made vigorous speech.
| He told the committee that it's delibera-
| tions ought to be more specific; that if
! they did not favor the per diem bill they
| ought to say so.
General Wagner, of Philadelphia, in
| seconding the nomination of Congressman
Warner, insinuated, amid considerable
uproar, that Curtis in his speech had been
simply fishing for votes. He hoped, he
said, that Warner would not go upon the
| stage and make such exhibition as
| those that had preceded him.
| Five hundred dollars were voted for inn
mediate use in relieving the necessities of
members of the organization suffering from
| yellow fever in Florida. e
| The newly elected Commander in Chief
was serenaded last evening. A crowd of
several thousand joined in the call for a
| speech. In response Major Warner
thanked them for the honor they did him.
He spoke briefly in praise of the Grand
| Army and congratulated them and him.

natures have been secured for the ratifica-

Chief Bull Head made the first speech in

hand of the great father that his people
might secure those things which they
sorely needed to build up happy, prosper

Indians had plenty of land and could we'll
afford to dispose of a share that the In

informed that the we'll could be 10 longer

going 60 draw some of the last water
drawn from the well, and started to the
house 20 get the bucket. This conduct was
objected to. but the negro expressed his
determination to have it anyhow, and the
white man drew his pistol and shot his
enemy in the neck. That night . gang of
negroes visited the house and dared the
white man to come out, but he refused to
do SO, and after shooting holes in his win

Bradley, receiver for the United Order of
Honor, has filed report regarding the
condition of his trust, in which he says
that the only assets which came into
his hands, except the books and pa
pers, consisted of 1854. and adds. that
in violation Of an article of the con-
stitution the money from the mutual aid
fund was diverted to other uses, creating
deficiency of about $24,0 900. The report
shows receipts aggregating $3.50, 1928 and
disbursements of $252, 1874, leaving q
balance unaccounted for of 81, 1874. The
receiver asks if he may not proceed
against the officers and their bondsnen TO

no means opens fire at once The herd
derives its impulse from its leader, as
the steam-engine does from the en-
gineer. Withdraw either from his

gone. So, hardly breathing under the
intense excitement OF the moment, he
studies che movements of the herd
with the keenest attention. Having
selected his victim, a well-directed
bullet knocks 10 sprawling on the ice.
In an instant all is confusion. The
herd circle around their fallen leader,
totally at a loss what to do, until some
other assumes the place of the fallen,
and all break for the shelter of the
woods. If the hunter is then quick
and sure shot, the interval is not I'M
improved.
But if the pond is small and closely
surrounded with forest and hill, the
first shot echoes from the opposite side
with a distinctness which should be
heard to be fully appreciated, and re-
echoes again and again. The startled
herd seem confronted in every direc-
ton by explosions, and every avenue
of escape appears closed. Utterly de-
moralized they circle about, swinging
! their heads from side to side, shifting
the air in the vain endeavor to locate

FASHIONABLE JEWELRY.

Society Man Exposes a Weak Point in thu
Armor of Fashion.
consistency may be a jewel, but
the wearers of jewels are by 40 means
always consistent. What do I mean?
Why, did you never notice the absurd
contrast between the jewelry of some
women and the rest of their attire?
''There are many women who con-
slider themselvels models of fashion,
but who in the eyes of a man of taste
commit the greatest offenses in this
respect. Row often we see a woman
who takes tine greatest pains in the
gear. her couture, even her under
wear in the very latest style, and who
yet appears in public wearing old
fashioned jewelry!
''Fashions in jewelr. change as much
as those in wearing apparel, and a
woman who wants really to be in the
fashion should consult her jeweler
almost as often as she does her dress
maker OR her milliner. The real
leaders of fashion never make the
blunder I have referred to. You will
notice that they are constantly appear
ing with new articles f jewelry or
with old jewels reset in the latest
style. These women make a study of
the art of looking well, and are well
aware of the grotesque appearance
presented by one who wears with one
of Worth's newest gowns her grand
mothers jewelry. "@Jesoesers' Weekly.
