The Old Man and jim,

James W. Riley, in the Century.
Old mad never had much to say,
'Cept1n' to Jtm,-
And Jim was the widest boy he had
And the Old man jes wrapped up in himI
Never heerd him speak but once
Er twice in my life,-snd first time was
When the army broke out, and Jim he went
The Old man bsekin' him, fer three months
And And all all, at heard the Old man say
Was les as we turned to rtawsy,-
well: goodbye jim:
Take keer of yourse'fw
Peered like he was more satisfied
Jes' lookin at Jim
And likin' him ell to hisse'f-like, seer
Cause he was ies' wrapped I'D in him!
And over and over mind the day
The Old man come and stood round in the way
While we was drillin' a-watchin' Jim
And down at the depot heerin' him say
well; goodbye, Jim:
Take keer OF yoursef y
Never was pothin' about the farm
Disting ished JIM
NeighbOrs all ust to wonder why
The Old man 'peered wrapped up in him;
But when Cap Biggler, he write back,
a jim was the bravest boy we had
In the whole dern regiment, white or black,
And his figltin good IS his farmin' bad
AT he had led, with bullet clean
Bored through his thigh, snd carried the flag
Through the bloodiest battle you ever SEEM
The Old man wound up letter to him
AT Cap read to US AT said,-"Tell Jim
And take keer of hisse'f"
Jim come back jes' long enough
TO take the within
AT he'd like to go back in calvery-
At the Old man jes wrapped up in him =
Jim lowed at he'd had SIGH luck afore,
Guessed he'd tackle her three years more.
And the Old man give him colt he'd raised
And fOlleIed him over to Camp Ben Wade,
And laid around for a week er so,
Watchin' Jim on dress parade
Tel finely he rid away
And last he heard was the Old man say
"Well; goodbye, Jim:
Take keer OF yourse'fl'
Tux the papers, the Old man did,
A-Watchin Ter Jim
Fully believin' he'd make his mark
so some N wSy tb s,r wrapped o up In HIM
AT stirred him up like the tap Of drum
At Petersburg, for instance, where
Jim rid right into their canons there,
And TUX EN- and p'inted 'em & other way
ana sOcKeo IL nome 10 the coys IN gray,
And they sko0ted for timber and on and on
Jim a lieutenant, and one arm gone,
And the Old mans words in his mind all dav,-
''WeD; goodbye Jim;

Think OF a private, now, perhaps,
Wen say IKE Jim,
Ats clumb clean up to the shoulder straps
And the Old man les wrapped up in him!
THINK OF him-with the war plum through,
And the glorious old Red, White and Blue
A-laughin' the news down over Jim
And the Old man. bendin over him
The surgeon turnin away with tears
AT hadn't leaked for years and years
As the hand OF the dyin' boy chung to
bis fathers, the old voice in his ears

Or may mythic butterfly pursue.

DesOiatiop,
New YORK World.


Atone sit in gorgeous state,
And view my gathered treasures rare,
Which seem to mock my cruel fate
My lonely lot, so bleak and bare.
Within is wealth and warmth and light,
Close eurtained from the whistling wind
That sweeps and swirls with reckless might,
Whose breath brings death to human kind.
But the cold wind of her deep scorn
Has blighted all my Joy of life;
Within my soul no hope is born
No rest or peace, but savage strife,
And what care for pride or fame,
Since love from out my life is driven?
All, all is but an empty name
Ashes the prize tor which I've striven.
Dead ashes from deep despair,
A heart burned out by passions fire
o God she was so false, so fair,
And blind was with fond desire.
loved with love that ne'er grows old:
My worship followed where she led;
But weary of a tale Oft. told,
She left me!-and the world is dead.

The greenest man I ever saw on a railroad
was conductor of suburban passenger
train that I rode on from st. Louis few
days ago. I guess he was cousin of soma.
big official, and had lived in the woods all
his life. Somehow I had expended mora.
money than had calculated upon, and when
l took my seat found in my pocket but a
fifty cent ''shin plaster" which was pre-
serving as memento. When the conductor
came to take up tickets handed him this.
I had pulled my hat over my eyes in negli%
gent way, but judge of my surprise to hear
the three familiar clicks, and those repeated
twice. Then he walked away. 1 looked at
him in establishment, and asked him to stay
his hand. "What in the world are YOU
punching holes in that fifty cent piece fort
Give me my change" "Why," he replied,
innocently, II thought that was one of those
new style Autograph tickets, good for fifty
miles, and that you wanted to ride it out" I
explained and got my change, but it shook

Not Thou, But I.

1t must have been for one Of US my own
To drink this cup, and eat this bitter bread,
Had not my tears upon thy face been shed,
Thy tears had dropped on mine; II alone
Did not walk now, thy spirit woul d have known
My loneliness. and did my feet not tread
This weary path and steep, thy feet had bled
For mine, and thy mouth had for mine made
moan.
And so 1t comforts me, yea, not in vain,
To think of thy eternity Of sleep.
To know thine eyes are fearless though mine
weep;
And when this cups last bitterness drain
One thought shall still its primal sweetness
keep;
Thou hadst the peace, and the undying pain.
