ABILENE REFLECTOR
a CURBSTONE SCENE.

In the shade of tree. by the street of city,
Lay tired little boy, with the turf for his bed
In rags, but no beggar appealing to pity,
child OF the lowly who toiled for his bread.
Beside him a handcart stood loaded with fuel,
Bits OF board he had cleaned in ne lanes
where he crept,
Till the wheels DER the pavement dragged
heavy ard cruel,
And spent with the strain Of his burden, he
slept
VIII any one care, as the many pass nigh hims
A threadbare wood-sawyer, bent, wrinkled
and old,
Caught sight OF the sleeper. came near and stood
by him.
And read in the D 'cture the story it told.
hungry face, scanty raimeat, with barely a
button,
Hatless head, naked feet. fretted sore on the
stone
He fshed out a morsel OF dry bread and mutton,
And left him the dinner he'd brought for his
own.
There were eyes bright and merry, eyes fearful
ard tender,
On the watch ere the old man had tiptoed
And some. in that meek loan Of love and its
leTder,
Saw the angel that stopped where the little
boy lay.
And the soul OF the child through the tatters
that wound him.
Drew the souls of the clad and the fed to his
side;
Young and old brought their blessings to scat
ter around him.
And crumbs from the table Of God 10 divide.
A boy and man dropped dime and dollar,
Women opened their purses by ones and by
twos,
Willing hands from the mansions, both greater
and smaller,
Brought jacket, hat and stout pair Of
shoes.
All stealrhy and silent with gentle conniving,
They laid down their gifts with the wood
sawyer's crust,
And fingered 10 see, at the sleeper's reviving.
His bashful thanksgiving smile up from the
dust
Soon the little boy woke. Was it bounty or
pldnder
Spread out at his feet: Then laugh in his
Turned his face where glance gave the key to
the wonder,
And he clasped his new riches with bushes
and tears.
And his helpers had Joy that was tender and
holy
When they looked then and after full many a
day.
Down the street where the toil-ridden child
of the lowry
With his cart and his treasures had trotted
away.
o. hearts that are human are human forever,
You may c'ose them in caste, bat they beat
through the wall
Wealth and want own kinship no breeding
can sever,
And in sorrow the lowest are brothers of all.
Bound love needs the magic OF pity to free it;
Men only are selfish because they are blind;
When the poor help the poor, if the whole world
could see il,
The naughty would blush, and the cruel grow
kind.

An Humble But True Hero.

At an obscure station in Northern
Iowa three years ago there were two
ladies waiting to take a train A
tramp, drunk enough to be ugly and
quarrelsome, whose hand, like lsh-
mael's, was against every man, came
in and amused himself by directing in
sulting remarks to them. The opera
tor was receiving an order to hold the
coming train, and did not hear. Az
he passed through the waiting-room to
put out the red flag the ladies ap-
pealed to him. He ordered the fellow
out, and receiving abuse in return at
tempted to push him through the open
door when the brute drew a concealed
dirk and stabbed him. The operator,
knowing it to be his death wound,
made no cutlery, had no word OF re-
proach for his murderer, no repining
at his own fate, sent no last message
to the loved ones whom this towards
act had bereft He simply extended
the flag which he still held, to the
ladies, and saying. 'Put it out" fell
lifeless at their feet--Minneapolis

Enormous Fortunes.

Notwithstanding the enormous fortunes
accumulated through the use o. printers
INK, large sums of money ara annually
wasted III Intellectual and unremunerative
advertising.
The merits of a really valuable commodity
properly portrayed In the columns of an in
huentIal and widely read newspaper, like
this, will speedily become generally known
and appreciated, while the returns reaped
by the advertiser will be like those of the
WISE husbandman who planted his seed in
good ground, wherein it bore fruit and
brought forth, some an hundred fold, some
sixty, some thirty"
The wording of an advertisement is an
all-important matter.
Clearness, attractiveness, brevity and sin
certify must characterize any announcement
intended to catch the public eye and appeal
TO public confidence. An advertisement IN
serted in London journal few days ago
brought instant and multitudinous replies
accompanied by an almost unlimited sup
ply of bank notes, simply because it
touched the chord of nature which makes
Bill mankind akin. Its simple pathos and self
evident truthfulness appealed to every
heart.
The advertiser sought for lost relative,
and, giving his name, said: II am ill and
friendless. My last half crown is expended
in paying for this advertisement. Write me
at''-(gIving the address,. As already
stated, nearly every one who read the an
nouncement FASTENED to relieve the necessi-
ties of the sufferer-a real sufferer in this
case, though many swindles are perpe-
trated in the divine name of charity.
Thus 1t is with really meritorious COM
modify or preparation; if its virtues be
properly and truthfully set forth in the pub
lie press, its success is prompt and certain.
On the other hand, the public is quick and
unerring to detect deception and charlat-
anry; and, accordingly, no amount of pun
ery'' will force vile nostrum into public
esteem and patronage. Untold sums have
been sunk in vain efforts to advertise into
popularity so-called medical preparations
which did not possess the virtues or proper
ties claimed for them
Valuable medicines, however, like War
ners Safe Cure and Warmers Log Cabin
Sarsaparilla, carry their own best common
dation in their power to cure the p rticular
diseases for which they are specific.
They require no labored panegyric to con-
vince the people of their power and efficacy,
for they have been tried and found perfect
Natures remedies, by their own intrinsic
merits have Inferred a lasting loon upon
mankind, and they have secured an envla-
BILE reputation and unlimited sale through
out the civilized world.

the vocalists were lyric artists of high
repute. One of them, the barytone,
was handsome fellow of thirty, with
the languishing airs of Spanish SER

the olden time, and after his vocal
performances in the salon he was
eagerly surrounded by groups of
ladies. who complimented him on his
splendid voice. Among his most en-
thusiastic admirers was the young
lady of the house. the daughter of
the host, on whom the serenader from
the Faubourg ST. Denis bestowed his
most bewitching chances. After the
vocal and instrumental part of
the evenings entertainment was over,

MASTER OF BALLANTRAE.
A Song Which Rough Irish Sentinels
Make Ring Again.


The talk fell, as it did often, on the
exiles in France; so it glided to the
matter of their songs. There is one, -"
says the master. eff you are curious in
these matters, that has always seemed
to me very moving. The poetry is
harsh; and yet. perhaps because of my
situation, it has always found the way
to my heart. 1t is supposed to be sung,
l should tell you, by an exile's sweet
heart, and represents, perhaps, not so
much the truth of what she is thinking
as the truth of what he hopes of her,
poor soul, in these far lands" And
here the master sighed. II protest it
is pathetic sight when a score of
rough Irish, all common sentinels, get
to this song; and you may see, by their
falling tears, how it strikes home to
them. 1t goes thus. father" says he,
very adroitly taking my lord for a
listener, land if | can not get to the
end of it, you must think it is COM
mon case with us eXiles." And there
upon he struck up the same air as [
had heard the captain whistle; but now
to words, rustic indeed, yet most
pathetically setting forth a poor girl
aspirations for an exiled lover, of
which one verse indeed Tor something
like it, still sticks by me:
O. will dye my petticoat red,
With my dear boy I'll beg my bread,
oil ,-icI,r
For Willie among the rushes, o!
He sang it well even as song, but
he did it better yet as a performer. l
have heard famous actors, when there
was not dry eye in the Edinburgh
Theater; great wonder to behold;
but no more wonderful than how the
master played upon that little ballad
and on those who heard him like an
instrument, and seemed, now upon the
point of failing, and now to conquer
his distress, so that it seemed to pour
out of his own heart and his own past,
and to be aimed direct at Mrs. Henry.

The Sheep-Herder's Life.

The sheep-herder' life, to say the
least, is a hard one. He lives in a tent
the year round. and often for weeks at
time entirely alone. The sheep re-
quire constant attention to keep them
from straying and to protect them from
the wolves and coyotes. Out in the
blazing sun all day, with no friendly
shade tree, and returning at night to
his tent, he has to do his own cooking
and washing and other work of the
camp. As the grass is thin and scat
tering. the herd has to be constantly
on the move, which makes the ad-
ditional labor of moving camp at least
every ten days. The herder is a
stranger to even the common comforts
and conveniences of life, and is de-
prived of all the benefits of society and
friends. His bed is on the ground.
Often water is very scarce and he is
thankful If he can get enough to make
his tea He has no knowledge of what
is going on in the world. and seldom
keeps the run of the days, weeks or
months. He must get his own break
fast and be out by daylight, as that is
the time the focks are on the move.
Often at night he has to be out to pre-
vent the herd from being scattered by
coyotes and other enemies. When
added to all this are the fierce winds and
fearful cold Of the Wyoming winter.
when he must pitch his tent upon the
open plains with no fuel but the scanty
roots of the sage bush. surely his occu-
patton is not a desii able one.-Forest

THE LAST SAD RITES.
Funeral of Allen ThOrndike Rice in
 Grace Church, New York.
BURIAL A T B BOSTON.
Bishop Potter ana Dr. Huntington Conducted the services-An Opera Weakness.

NEW YORK, May 1S.-The funeral ser vices over the body of Hon. Allen Thorn dike Rice, took place this morning at 10 o'clock at Grace church, this city. Bishop Potter and Dr. Huntington will of1iciate. The body will be taken to Bos- ton for interment. It will be in the charge of Mir. c. V. CottIng, of Boston, and ex-Mayor Cooper.
 Henry Crisp. the nurse, said to re- porter that he was certain that everything possible had been done to alleviate the sufferings of MT. Rice.
 Some controversy has arisen in regard to the value of an operation on the patients throat, but the nurse said any operation in MT. Rice's case would have been futile. He was so far gone that he did not have the physical strength left to withstand the effects of an operation.
 It was suggested by the physicians to have an incision made in his throat, but owing to his weak condition 1t was deemed inadvisable.
 Except for an extreme pallor, MT. Rico's face looked the picture of pelfect repOSc and rest. Sergeant, the valet, who has served MT. Rice faithfully for twenty years, was completely prostrated with grief on account of his master.
 In the dead mans room were some half-dozen trunks all packed and labelled, in readiness for the journey. Some bore the seal of the eXecutor and others were unstrapped and open.
 The bureau was covered with toilet ar ticlcs, some rare and costly, and on en- tering the room one would hardly think that death in all it's majesty fingered there.
 The following gentlemen will act as pall-bcarers Vice-Prcsident Levi P. Morton, eN-Mayor Edward Cooper, Chauncey NJ. Depew, Pierre Lorillard, Gen. w. T. sherman, Walker Blaine, w. P. Douglass, Stephen H. Olin, George Griswold William Jay and William w. AStOr.
