Somebody Pays.

SDme find it convenient to live at their ease,
And all obligations to shirk;
On every occasion to do as they please,
And give no ntion to work.
As iders and suggards, ,as loungers and drones,
They follow their indolent ways,
BY being thus lax, increasing the tax
That somebody pays.
Free lunches free passes, they have at command,
Rich gifts that to others are lost,
And gayly they feast the fat of the land,
And travel regardless of cost.
But for all the fine banquets, the wear and tear
Ofpubic or private displays,
Though you may go free, tits sure as can be
That somebody pays
Some boast OF TIE credit they freely obtain,
The taxes from which they are exempt,
And to cancel the favors received, it is plain
They've made single attempt;
With honor at stake, they consent to remain
In debt to the end of their days,
And with nsolent p'ide, free horse they ride.
For which somebody pays.
Some go through the world with niggardly heart,
And carry miserly purse,
While others, with liberal zeal, do their part,
And freely their treasures disburse;
And for hours of idleness we may enjoy,
For losses and needless delays,
For waste and neglect, it is well to reflect
That some body pays.

Four r-LeaVed Glover

She journeyed north, she journeyed south,
The whole bright land she wandered over,
And climbed the mountain white with snow,
And sought the plains where palm trees grow,
But--never found the four-leaved clover
Then to the seas she spread her sail,
Fled round the world white-winged rover;
Her small foot pressed the Grecian grass,
She saw Egyptian temples pass,
But-never found her four-leaved clover.
The costliest gems shone on her brow;
The ancient Belgian spnners wove her
A robe of lace IA queen might wear;
Her eyes found all most rich, most rare,
But-never found iIer tour-leaved clover.
The throng did flock to see her pass,
To hear her speak, and all men strove her
Smi to win, she had the whole
Of each ones life and heart AMI soul,
But-never found her four-leaved cover.
A sudden whirlwind came at last.
little tempest rose, and drove her
1Iomeward, ,berett alone and poor;
The fair friends fed, the journcyings o'er
That never found the tour-eaved cloveri
"Alas!' she sighed, call hope is gone;
I've searched The wide world through; more
My eyes are worn with toll; they see
But this small strip of grass There free
And strong it grew-the four-leaved clover.

never again in my life. will show
him how the crushed worm can turn.
l will be a miserable dupe no long
er."
And with these words, uttered in q
harsh voice, which did not seem her
own, and with face so ch 'nged that
no one would have recognized it, she
donned her hood and cloak, and stole
into the darkness of the night.
On she went toward the city, a
slender figure bending beneath its
weight of woe. She needed nothing,
and glided on until she stood oppo-
site the window of her husbands Of
flee, and saw the CLEAN of lamplight
through an aperture in the closed
shutter. Then Rose uttered one ST.
lent prayer for strength, tried the
door, found it open and passed in.
In the meanwhile Harry Powell had
reached the rendezvous early, and
had waited some moments before thu
figure of a cloaked and hooded wo-
man came up the silent street, and
stood before him she was yelled, so
that he could not see her features, but
he knew that she was fearful of dis
covery, and did not wonder that it
should be so.
81 have been anxiously awaiting
you," he whispered; and she answer
ed, in still lower tone,"I have been
watched Make haste in-I am fright
ened !"
And Harry led the way in and lit
the gas. The woman seemed fright
ened still, for she crouched down
upon bale of goods, with her veil
upon her face, and her hand within
her bosom.
"We are alone, now, said Harry in
gallant tone. "Let me see your
face, my angel You cannot imagine
how | long to meet your eyes J"
Something, which might have been
either a sob or a laugh, came from
beneath the woman's veil; she whis-
pered again: "Are those shutters
closed? See, will you?"
Harry turned to look at them. 1t
was but a moment; but, in that
brief space of time, he felt a heavy
hand upon his throat, and saw a
cloak and bonnet lying on the floor.
A stalwart ruffian, with a pistol in
his hand, stood over him, and he saw
in a moment that he had been duped.
"Aha !" muttered the coarse voice
of the man, "aha You wanted kisses
and embraces, did you? My Liza
has played her part bravely! You've e
opened the door for us, and shall
open the safe, and shall never live to
tell it, either So you thought Liza
was in love with you, and was a rich
lady, did you? Ha, ha, you poor
fool %
There was a desperate struggle
now, and Harry was unarmed, and in
a little while he lay PROSTATE on the
floor, with the ruffian's pistol at his
breast. 1t was all over. He gave
one little thought of his own folly
one remorseful one to Rose-and
closed his eyes-closed them 10 open
them again in wild amazement, to
see the robber senseless on the floor
and his own wife-his fair, slender
Rose-standing over him with a bill
let of wood in her hand. She had
saved him. And in his penitence and
shame he fell at her feet, as one
might fall before a sacred shrine.
He never forgot it, He never be-
trayed the sweet forgiveness she ac-
corded him in his humiliation and
though they are old people now, with
about them, she still
watches for him in the twilight, and
never watches long.

Will 1888 be a Year of WARP

The present year is the fifth year
Of modern times in which the aggre-
gate of the figures is twenty-five, and
there will be but five more years in
which such combination is possible
prior to the year 2599. Probably but
few have ever heard of the old proph-
ecy, which runs as follows;
In evory future year ofour Lord
Whe the of the figure is tw enty-6ve,
Some warlike kingdom will draw the sword
But peaceful nations in peace shall thrive.
Students of modern history will
readily recall how faithfully this
prophecy has been fulfilled in the
four previous years to which it ap-
piled.
In 1899 Russia, Denmark and Po-
land formed the coalition against
Sweden which inaugurated the great
war that ended in the disastrous de-
feat of Charles XII. at Pultowa.
The year 1889 will ever be memoir
able on account of the breaking out
of the French Revolution.
The year 1889 witnessed the cam
'paign of Bonaparte in Egypt and the
formation of the second European
coalition against France.
In 1879 war broke out between
England and Afghanistan, followed
by the invasion Of the latter country
by British troops.
In what manner the prediction is
to be verified in 1888 remains yet to
be seen, but the present condition Of
Europe seems to promise an abundant
fulfllment of the prophecy.
