ENTRE-AcTE REvERIEs.

Between the acts, while the orchestra played sl
That sweet old waltz with the lifting measure,
drifted away to dear dead day,
When the dance for me was the sun OF ali
pleasure.
When my veins were rife with the fever Of life,
When hope ran high as an unswept ocean,
And my hearts great gladness was almost mad
ness,
As aoated of to the music's motion.
II.
How little cared for the world outside,
How little cared for the duh day after.
The thought Of trouble went up like bubble.
And burst in a sparkle Of uirthful laughter.
Oh and the beat Of it, oh, and the sweet Of it,
Melody, motion and young blood melted
The dancers swayed, the players played
The air song deluged and music pelted
III.
knew no WEAKNESS, no, not /;
Ny step was as light as the waving grasses
That flutter with ease on the strong armed breeze
AS it waltzes over the wild morasses
Life was all sound and swing, youth was a per-
feet thing,
Night was the goddess Of satisfaction.
Oh! how tripped away, down 70 the edge Of day.
Joy lay in motion and rest in action.
".
dance no more on the music's wave,
yield no more 70 its beyrilderine power
That time has flown like a rose that is blown.
Yet life is a garden forever in flower.
Though storms Of tears have watered the years
Between to-day and that day departed,
Though trials have met me and grief's waves
wet me,
And have been tired and trouble hearted.
"
Though under the sod Of a wee green grave
A great sweet hope in darkness persisted.
Yet life TO my thinking, is a cup worth drinking.
A gift to be glad Of and loved and cherished.
There is deeper pleasure in the slower measure
That Times grand orchestra now is giving.
Its melowed minor is sadder but finer.
And life geOws daily more worth the living.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

nrnde Her Feel ut Hnmo.

A lady from Nebraska was the guest of
a Pittsburg family. As the thermometer
only touched zero once during the winter
the fair stranger would have been home
sick but for the thoughtfulness Of her
host. By an ingenious arrangement a
powerful fan drove snow dust in her face
every time she opened the front door. The
snow was banked against the windows of
her room and her meals let down the
chimney with a string. Another device
initiated the roar of a blizzard, and SO
soothed her to gentle slumber-wherein
she dreamed of her native state. These
little attentions deeply touched the fair
guest. Pittsburg Bulletin.

SIX STRAIGHT,
The Washingtons again Defeat the
PhiIlies-Other Esall & ann co Yesterday.

The Senators inaugurated their homecoming
yesterday by whitewashing the Philadelphia
seam, the score being 70 o. over 1000 people
were present to witness the game. Whitney and
Mack and Casey and Shriver were the batteries
The senators won the game by means OF almost
perfect fielding, by their punching OF hits in the
second and third innings, and by the inability of
the visitors TO hit the ball at the right time. The
only misplay OF the home team was a mum by Hoy
in the first inning that fortunately cost nothing.
The Phillies played almost well In the held,
and started out as though they meant to
bat out victory. but the sharp work OF
their antagonists foiled them, and whitney
became more deceptive as the game progressed
The run-getting was started in the second by
Daily, who hit singing bal along the lett ioul
line, on which he reached second base, stealing
third, and scoring ON q passed ball. In the third
Mack was hit by ball and was sent 10 second by
Shochs safe hit. Hoys fly to short left was drop
ped Ia the midst OF taDgie OF players, nlung the
bases The next two men went out, Mack scoring
on Myers ny out just In time to count, as Shoch
was run down between second and third on the
throw in, very pretty play by Wood and Irwin.
The Phillies could not get man TO third base.
Hoy. Donnelly, and Shoch each made 2 hits, Don
nelly leading with a total OF bases Washington
made hits and error and Philadelphia hits
aud errors Whitney struck out 2 men, Casey
Detroit was defeated by Pittsburg, to5. The
champions batted harder but f1elded poorly and
could not bunch their hits effectively. Calvin and
Miller and Gruber and Sutclife were the batteries.
Detroit made l2 hits and errors and PittSDurg
hits and errors.
Chicago won from indianapolis to 3-through
vastly superior fielding. The batteries were
BOrcherS and Daily and Burdick and Buckley.
Chicago made hits and error and the HoOsiers
> hits and errors.
Boston dropped game 10 New York, 2 to 3.
Morrill, played at second and made 9 errors that
cost runs and the game. Radbourne and Tase,
and WEIGH and Ewing were the batteries. New
York made s hits and . errors and Boston hits
ana . errors.

Pitcher James Whitney has won the last five
games IN which he has twIrled the ball. This
looks as though the grasshopper has regained his
strength

and he supplemented IL by a brace OF hits one OF
them helping 10 earn run.
