A THOUGHTFUL MAN.

A we'll known man of middle Georgia sent to his friends the follow ing communication:
 "Owin' ter the fack that thar's circus in town tomorrer, the funeral uv my wife will be put off till the day alter. Er mans wife ken be bur- jed most any time, but I'll tell you whut's fack, feller citizens, in these here days uv dullness circuses air cir cuses. The funeral will be preached by the Reverend John Branwell. He is one uv the best preachers in the community, an is the man that fotch the Natlin boys up ter the mourner's bench alter some uv the best preachers in the country had failed. I believe in them sort uv preachers, myself. l understan' that the circus Is got two clowns that air funnier than anything ever seed in this here community. I am told that they git of jokes that  would make lame dog litter fitten ter kill hisse'f. My devoted wife will be buried in Mayfeld's old orchard. Her an me uster gether apples thar when we wuz chilren, an it wuz under one uv the trees that she fust told me that she would be my wife. It is a mighty sad duty to lay her away thar, but sich is life. I have hearn that the ring master with this show ken pop his whip louder than rife ken crack, an they say that the monkeys air up to mo- tricks than a basket uv crawfish. I tell you that durin' these here dull times we sorter need suthin' ter liven us up. The pall- bearers hain't been app'inted yit, but I don't reckon I will have no trouble in findin' some fellers ter hep me out on this here interestin' occa- sion. They've got guzzly baA with the show an they tell me that he is a mighty dangerous thing ter fool with. The services st the grave will be short arr sWeet.n

DIDN'T NEED IT.

Col. Carter, of Kentucky, was lately stopping st q small aonth side hntel ir Chicago. He is brilliant converse. tionalist, a genial gentleman, and all that, and on his first evening in the hotel he completely won the night clerk, and during the time he also wor several "jack pots" from other guests It was late when he started to retire and having several times invited the clerk, who had promptly accepted, to partake of something lin the nature of a stimulating beverage" the clerk was unusually affable. When Col. C. started to his room the clerk offered him a pitcher of water to take along, suggesting that he might need 1t dur ing the night. The colonel profusely thanked him, but declined to take it, remsrking as he went that he had per- feet faith in the house and was not afraid that there would be fire. Col. C. had not thought that there might be any other use to which water might have been put upon that occasion be- yond the extinguishment of an in- cipient conhagrstion.

Hurries him, needless off to the town! Where mtrth and wine through the goblet shine. The lasso that often brings him down;
 With bis soaked sombrero,
 His rent chapparejos,
 And cltnking spurs;
 He staggers back
 On the homeward track, And shouts to tho plains-who cares, who caresi On his broncho's back he sways and swings. Yet mad and wild with the clty's fume; His pace Is the pace of the song he sings. And the ribald oath that maudlin clings Like the wicked stench of tho hArlot's room,
 With his ragged sombrero,
 H,s rowei loss spurs;
 He dashes amain
 Through the trackiess rain, Keeling and reckless-who ho cares, who cares Iris over late at the ranchman's gate He and his fellows, perhaps score, Halt in a quarrel o'er night begun, There's a dead, dead comradel Hothing more.
 With hts sl0uched sombrero,
 His dark chapparelos,
 And elinking spurs; He dashes past,
 With face o'ercAst, And growls In his throat-who cares, who cares Away on the range there is little change; He blinks in the sun, he herds the steers; But trail on the wind keeps close behind, And whispers that stagger and blanch the mind Through the hum of the solemn noon hc hears.
 With his dark sombrero,
 His stalned chRppareJos,
 His clinking spurs,
 He sidles down
 Where the grasses brown May hide his face, while he sobs-who caresI But what care I, and what cares he-- This is the strain, common at least; He is free and vain of his bridle. rein, Of his spurs, of his gun, of the dall, gray plain; He Is ever vain of his broncho beastl
 With his gray sombrero,
 His brown chapparejos,
 And clinkinR spurs;
 Like a Centaur he speeds,
 Where the wild bull feeds; Aud he laughs, ha, ha!-who cares, who caresi

feet niger than tho old mining camp of Georgetown, 1t is entirely shut in by tho mountain walls, and behind it, towering into ethereal solitutlcs, is the mighty G1y's Peak, a monarch Hitting his front 1000 feet above the sea. Tho waters of Green lake take on their emerald huc from the color of the rocks which form it's sides. It's depth Is unknown, no one over having been able to sound It.
 Tho first opera company that vis- ited Colorado came in 1878. It was known AS the Richings. Bernard troupe, They sang in Georgetown, and during their stay went up to Green lake.
 While enjoying the wicrd grandeur of the scene Mrs. Bernard was TO. quested to sing. So standing at the translucent waters edge, while around her rose tho wooded slopes whose summits seemed to touch tho sky, she gave out the simple melody of "Ilome, Sweet Home"
 Thousands have hoard Caroline Richings sing in her best days, but 1t is doubtful If her grand voice WAS ever heard to better advantage than here, when borne upon the inspiration of the surroundings 1t revcrberatetl out of this spectral amphitheatre and the cloud-ships passing over were freighted with the precious harmony. Above earth's lowlands, like a bird poised in the air, she sang John How ard Payne's immortal verse. Then she came down into the valleys, and after little went up again, still higher, for after many bitter trials and vexa- t!cns in the last years of her life, God said to the sweet singer, "Come up and sit by Me-"
 Strange, is it not, that he whose pa- thetic verse is sung in all lands and speaks the same language to all hearts should die outside the comforts of the dear place of which he sang2--E. X. SfiyasOu.

ALL IN THE TEXT.

A clergyman in Texas not long ago took quite an active part in politics, as many of his profession have from time to time done in other states. He was rewarded for his services by being appointed chaplain of the peniten- tiary. Before departing to assume the duties of his office he preached q farewell sermon to his congregation, who wer9in arrears with his salary, and whS Tin other ways had not treated him well, ard he took for his text these words of the Savior: "I go to prepare . place for you, in order that where am ye may be also."

A WAiF AND A STRAY.

Oa Memorial Day, when the streets of Chicago were lined on both sides with crowds of people watching the procession trying to "psss . given point" Jimmie Golightiy stood near fine- looking female whom he bad never seen before. She craned her neck, this way and that, to sce tho pageant, and Jimmie, who, by the way, is very tall individual, crsned his neck in the same directions with great uniformity and cotemporane- ousDess. He finally got his face very close to that of the party of the hrst part, and eventually he passed his arm around her supple waist. shs looked up rstter pleasantly, sbd remarked:
 "You seem to be afraid you will get lost in this crowd.1
 He replied that hs felt some sppre- hensivcncss of that sort.
 "Weii,S said sine, ''if you will just wait until can speak to my husband, that gentleman who is standing there, talking toa friend, and who uses three year-oId hickory sspiing for walking stick, l will try and induce him to see you aafeiy out of the jsm."
 Jimmie said be had just discovered, at that moment, . aforementioned landmark, and would endeavoY to hnd his way out alone. As reckless as it may have seemed to him, he hurrisd away and WIS quickly Iost--in the seething current of humanity, inhu- InanIty and passing events.

THE BLUE AND GRAY.

Again Memorial Day has boon cele- brated with vernal gifts, with tributes of eloquent pocsy and grand commcm. oration of prayer and song.
 Once moro its memories have been revived, whose passion rvaehca alike into tho homcs under northern oak and southern pine.
 It has passed by with tho departing sun, and the sweet incense of flowers arising from the graves no longer turns the rushing multitude from life's fierce struggle into the quiet retrospection of this tender yearly worship.
 The anniversary of May 70, isss, has brought more exalted lesson than others which have preceded.
 Tho veterans In blue marched again upon the streets and out into thu cemeteries, and thero aaluted God, the director of battlos, and the vast egiona of soldier dead. Among the tomba they met tho survivors of tho armies that confronted them on field and flood In the desperate atritc of quarter century ago. Federal and Confederate soldiers graves were allko decorated by Hue and Gray, as to- gether they placed remembrance wreathn upon them, and over all hoated flag bearing the undivided sy mbolA of the American Union.
 Let thosc who through dcbased sensibilitics snoer at the QUO and they who from mistlIrected thought seek to resurrcct the cause for which tho other fought, heed the rebukc this united action gives and lot them bury their incivism deep, but In grave for which there is no Memorial Day.
 These men bore the burden of tho battle. It Is fitting that they should take the lead in showing to the world that the war has ended. They have together covered old anirnosities with imperlshablc roses and lilies that shall nevermore wither and restore the hatred of tho past to view. The veteran soldiers will not long remain on earth to perform this Joint and .ignii iioaht ceremonial. Lol the 
 ranks are thinned and thinning. Their descendants will perpetuate the proper spirit Of Memorial Day, thus happily begun, until at length there shall bc a union of north and south, the token of whose strength was voiced in the olden time.
 "Thy people shall be my people, thy God shall Dc my God, whitherso- ever thou goest I will go, and where thou diest there will be buried"

KANSAS AHEAD.

There Ars numerous stories extant about mean men. The smalgamated company of mean individuals hss been described by Mark Twain as the corporation who docked the miners wages for the time he was absent from his work while he was up in the air after being lifted by . premature ex- plosion while preparing blast. The champion mean woman lives in Kan- sas. Last winter she was called to bury her fifth husband. In order to ave expense she had the door plate taken oil and had her husbands age added and then placed on the cofIin- lid. She aid it was quite likely she would need new name on the door soon.

A COMING MASTER.
BY WILL vIssCHER.

I sit upon my yine-clad porch
 'Tis summer's ardent weather And watch the breezes toying with
 The thistle's downy feather. My once brown hair is white as snow; My hands are thin and wrinkled, But better eyes have never yet
 In such an old head twinkled. A mile away and up the road,
 see a horseman riding, He's handsome, even thus afar,
 His noble beast bcstriding; I see my daughters tender look,
 AS wistfully she gazes, And mother watching, heath her lids. The blush the rider raises. That gallant horseman coming here, So often at sun-setting, And mothers anxious looks. with tears That oft her cheeks are wetting, Are signs to me. that growing old,
 Some day will awaken To find my place, as master here,
 By that young horseman taken.
