New York Must Look 10 the West

If this city is to be again revived,
the revival will come from somewhere
in the west, says Gath" in his New
York letter. The forces OF disintegra-
tion are altogether more active at
present than those of construction; the
hysterical critic, bawling for reform,
has got the ear OF the town, and not
improbably "a pessimistic stomach
existed here before he had arrived. A
good many people live in New York
who do not want any fair, any great
incursion OF strangers or any revival.
The forces which have commonly pre-
vailed in New York are now next t.
dumb and stagnant.

PLANT A TREE.
lie who plants a tree

lie who plants tree
Plants a hope.
Rootlets up through hbres blindly crepe;
Leaves unfold into horizons free.
So man life must climb
From the clods Of time
Unto heavens sublime.
Canst thou prOphesy thou little tree,
What the glory of thy boughs shall BET
He who plants a tree
Plants Joy;
Plants a comfort that will never cloy.
Every day fresh reality.
Beautiful and strong,
To whose shelter throng
Creatures blithe with song.
If thou couldst but know, thou happy tree,
or the bliss that shalt inhabit thee.

A Word to Your Boys.

There will always be boys who will
torment those who are odd in appear
ance and miserable enough without
being made angry by insults. There
will always be boys 10 do this, because
there will always be bIutes without any
self-respect or Christianity upon earth:
but do not let them induce you to fol-
low their lead in this on any other
thing. 1t is only by Il great and
happy chance that you are well and
strong, and have all your limbs and
senses. You might have been one OF
those at whom you mock. Think of
that and be kind to them instead of
cruel. Never torment and insult them
and do what you can to keep others
from doing so. If bad boys see that it
is considered contemplate to play
pranks on harmless, helpless people
cripples and beggars and old women
they will be less apt to do it than if
they were applauded.
Now l will tell you a true story
true as any ever told. 1t is about
poor man who lived in poor part of
the great city Of London He was a
strange looking creature, but he never
did any harm 10 any one. He seemed
not TO have his full senses, and he had
no relatives TO care :or or pity him;
but he tried TO cara his living and
sold walking sticks, or toy balloons or
anything on which he could make
little money. He was honest.
and seemed thankful for kind
or civil word from his customers.
But the boys Of that part Of the city
seemed to have special spite at him.
They insulted him, pushed him into
the gutter, called him vile names, and
stole the things he had to sell. Some
times he ragged, and tried to punish
them; sometimes he wept. They only
laughed the more at him. But one
morning they did not laugh. This
was the morning on which he was
found hanging to beam in his poor
garre', with piece of paper pinned to
his ragged pocket on which these
words were written:
1.-The lads worrit me so as / can't
arm my Twin. don't VIZ to live no
longer.
JOHN WINTER.
The verdict of the coroner's jury
was: Suicide while of unsound
mind" but the truth was. that those
London boys had driven the man TO
his death.
want you to remember poor John
Winter when you next feel like join
ing the crowd of boys who are tor
menting some poor, helpless creature.
And | want you to say to yourself just
now, before you put this paper down:
Il. for one, will never make the I'M
fortunate more unhappy by insulting
them" NJ. X. ID.

THE PATTER OF THE RAIN.
COATES KINNEY.

When the humid shadows hover
Over all the starry spheres ~
And the melancholy darkness
Gently weeps in raining tears,
What Joy TO press the pillow
or cottage chamber bed,
And to listen TO the patter
OF the soft rain overhead.
Every patter on tho shingles
Has an echo in the heart,
And a thousand recollecuons
Into busy being start.
And a thousand busy fancies
Wave their bright hues into wool
AS we listen to the patter
OF the soft rain ON the roof.
Now in memory comes my mother,
AS she used in years loug gone,
TO regard the darling dreamers,
Ere she lett them till the dawn.
On, see her leaning DER me,
And l list TO the refrain
Which is played upon the shingles
BY the patter of the rain.
Then my little seraph sister,
With her wings and waving hair,
And my star-eyed cherub brother
A serene, angelic pair-
Glide around my wakcful pillow,
WIN JHelf praise OF lnllu TCpIOOlt
AS | listen TO the murmur
OF the soft rain upon the roof.
And another comes to thrill me,
With her eyes delicious blue;
And mind not, musing on her,
That her heart was all untrue;
/ remember ont TO love her
With passion kin TO pain,
And my hcarJ's quick pulses vibrate
TO the pattcr of the rain.
Art hath naught of tone or cadence,
That can work with such spell
In the soul mysterious fountains,
Whence the tears of rapture dwell,
AS that melody of nature,
That subdued, subduiug strain,
Which is played upon the shingles,
by the patter Of the rain.

Women Ranch Owners

Two Texas women are the largest
individual sheep and stock owners in
the world, says the Philadelphia
Press. One of these, the widow Cal
lahan, owns $4,000 sheep, and when a
long train of wagons start out each
spring and fall for market, loaded
down with the wool OF her sheep, it is
a sight worth seeing. The other is
Mrs. Rogers, the great herd owner OF
southwestern Texas, who is worth
about 81 900, 900. Mrs. Rogers owns
no carriage, preferring to ride on
horseback in the free-and-easy style
Of the cowboy. ~ M "a ~ ,

Gowns Of white pongee have the blouse
and full sleeves deeply honeycombed, and a
honeycombed panel at the side as well, or
else they are trimmed with many lengthwiss
rows Of lace insertion.
Big hemstitched handkerchiefs of ponges
can be had in nearly all the summer colors.
and are among the most useful of small
wraps, as they can be either shawl, collar or
fchu as the wearer has a mind.
Sailor collars of moire or velvet, and gath
cred scarfs of china Grape sewed in the
shoulder and crossing at front are among the
trimmings used by good modistes upon waists
of silk, foulard or grenadines
Leather or leather colored silk is now much
used for the trimming of walking toilets,
which are finished with hats topped with
leather colored plunes, and bow of leather
ribbon tied jauntily on the parasol.
Word comes from Paris that white and

A new and charming effect in the much
used Greek "key border" is made by form

is sewed to the gown, small velvet rings are
fastened with embroidery stitches of the
same color.
Foulards just from Paris recall nothing so
