Whit Matters II,

What matters it. my curious friend where lies
Our heavenly harbor and our land OF rest?
Whether it be beyond the azure skies
Or in some lower. world, God knoweth best,
It offers safety from cur cares and so
What matters it whether it be higher low?
It offers rest; what more should mortals know
Rest from the WEAKNESS of burdened days,
: Ofbitter longings and of evil hours,
or duties leading US through darkened ways,
And into efforts far beyond our powers.
OF dark temptations into secret sin,
OF constant labor, earth's poor gifts to win,
OF spirits deadened by the strife and din.
It matters nothing as to when or where.
We find the haven and the welcome hone;s
Let curious doubt give place to trusting prayer,
And no weak soul through speculation roam.
We seek for sealed-up secrets, hidden things;
Enough for US if on eternal wings
We reach the country of those better things.
vex not thy spirit, o aspiring mani
But live thy days as earnest workers must;
Nor try to pierce through Gods mysterious
plan
Which obligates thee to q life OF trust
Some day, somewhere, while countless ages
roll,
Thy hungry heart shall comprehend the whole
The vail be parted for thy thankful soul.

Arthur was going to ask old Dollinger
for Amelia. When he reached the house
he touched the electric button. Jeames,
in livery, responded. He was shown
into the library, where Dollinger, cold,
calm, calculating, stood before the fire.
"Mr. Dollingeyaw said Arthur, in
firm voice, 81 can DID, ask you for your
daughters hand in marriage"
ssSir!m Numbered the father, "sir, how
dare you? You, unknown; you, beg
gar; you, an artist! Leave the house!
Go! or I'll call the police!"
but your daughter has given her con-
sent" pleaded Arthur.
"That makes not the slightest differ
ence," replied the old gentleman, grow
ing purple in the face. $50 this instant,
or my men shall throw you out!''
81 take it, them" returned Arthur, as
his thin lip curled bitterly, shat you
are opposed to the match?"
'Insolent puppy" roared the old man,
while the veins stood out on his neck
and forehead; ''begone this instant, or l
will hurl you through the window! But
stay one moment! Come back when you
have one million in cash and possibly
| may consider your suit. Now go!'
Don't sit up for me tonight" said
Arthur, as he turned away stunned and
crushed.
eff Arthur goes, I go, toow cried a
wild, agonized voice. Amelia rushed in
and hung about Arthur's neck, while he
showered great, warm kisses on her lips
and forehead.
"Go, both of you!" fairly beloved the
old man, with face vivid purple and
veins almost bursting. Never darken
my door again."
Eyes, go, and never show your faces
here again. cried Mrs. Louise Kill Won
Kull Dollinger- Dollinger, sweeping in.
They turned, with arms twined about
each others necks, and passed into the
hall. Here Arthur by mistake took a
fine black silk umbrella instead of his
own ed-white-and- blue campaign affair,
and they went out past the griffins and
down the stone steps, while the great
white snowhakes settled down upon
them with soft, pitying touch.
Five minutes later they mounted the
steps Of the Observation-Disclosures sta
! ton of the Sixth avenue elevated
Dropping two red theater checks into
the chopper-box, Arthur passed on to the
platform followed closely by Amelia
while the guileless and near-sighted
gateman pumped the checks.
Love" whispered Arthur, as he
pressed her little hand in his, Glove, We
will seek Rev. Mr.. Tyemup; he shall
make us one and I'll paint him picture
for his fee."
A train dashed up. "Harl'm!' shouted
the man who had allowed his machine
to eat the theater checks. Quickly
Amelia stepped on. Guard No. 1887:

yanked the bell-rope viciously. slammed
the gate in Arthur's face and the train
shot away.
II shall never see her again. cried
Arthur, reeling away. ''She is gone
from me-lost in New Yorl-swallowed
up in the shadows of a great city,"
With wild shrek he fell on the plat
form. The gateman tossed him over the
railing to the street below. There they
gathered him up and took him to the
Seventeenth Precinct police station.
Nearly three years had rolled away.
During all this time Dollinger had not
heard one word of his daughter Or Ar
thur Graves. He knew nothing of their
whereabouts. But he was still the same
cold, naughty, proud Dollinger. He
still scorned to buy chestnuts of the man
on the corner or give the faintest tip on
the stock market to his footman. The
same coachman, wearing the same boots,
drove him away at the same hour, in the
same carriage, drawn by the same
horses, with the same straining evil
dence that they had mislaid their
tails somewhere in England. Dollinger
was the same, only perhaps little cold
er, little harder, little more calcu-
lating.
One day he was sitting in his office
looking over the mail when he came to
letter from man named c. II. Har-
vey, who lived in Colorado and had a
little mining scheme. 1t struck Dol
linger as being good thing, and he
wrote to the man about it. Harvey sent
a long letter in reply, saying that he had
the biggest gold mine in Colorado, anG
he wanted to sell it cheap because he
didn't have the capital to work it. Dol
linger concluded to go out to Rainbow
| see about it.
The man Harvey, who was quite
pleasant appearing and wore full beard,
met him at the station and took him di-
rectly to his mine, which was on the out
skirts of town. 1t was only hole in
the ground, with a rope and windlass
with box on the end of the rope. Dol
linger and his mining friend got in the
box and the hired man let them down.
Dollinger didn't notice the little pieces
of red yarn tied on the rope, but the
hired man did, because that was what
he was paid for, and every time he came
to one of them as the rope unwound he
stopped so Harvey and Dollinger could
sample the walls of the shaft and see
how rich it was. Harvey showed Dol
linger million dollars worth of gold
every time they stopped, and they
stopped five times; and when they got
to the surface Dollinger offered two
millions for the mine. Harvey looked
as if he hated to, but at last he took it.
He was modest man and only called ii
Ell Dorado-G olconda mine, and Dollingel
hired him at one thousand dollars a
month to superintend it, and started
East.
Dollinger soon found that FL Dorado.
Golconda was somewhat expensive. He
sent big draft to Harvey for ma
chinery, labor, ETC., by every mail. The
first thing he knew he had all the mon
ey he had in his mine. Still his man
ager. kept calling for more. Pretty soon
he got letter from Rainbow City
lawyer named Snatchem, saying thai
there was big mortgage on his mine

SINCE ADAM DIED.
The Number of People Who Have Lived
Since The Beginning of Time.

The Number of People Who Have Lived
Since che Beginning of Time.
Did you ever make calculation of
the number of people that have inhab-
tied this globe since the beginning of
time? No doubt you will say that such
calculations involve loss of time, and
are, after all, barren of results, but as
we are engaged in giving curious read
ings and odd calculations, let us take
few minutes time and approximate,
with certain degree of accuracy, at
least, the number of souls that have
been ushered into and out of this sinful
world since the time when it was not
good for Adam to be alone. At the
present time it is believed that there
are l, 400, 100000 human beings on our
globe; but let us suppose there has been
but an average of 100000, 600 living at
one time since the creation. TO give
room for any possible doubt as to
the average length of life, we will put
it down at 80 years. Ut may have been
longer than that during Bible times, it
has been much shorter, however, since).
With the average length of life reck-
oned as above, we have had two genera
tions of 900, 100000 each every century
for the past 5000 years. Taking this
for granted, we have had about 66,627,-
S43, 237, 075, $50 inhabitants on this globe
since the beginning of time
Admitting that there is great deal
of guess-work about this CALCULATION,
and that it has been hastily and per-
haps inaccurately done, it will be per-
ceived, nevertheless, that our earth is
vast cemetery. On each rood of it 1888
human beings have found a burial
place A rood being scarcely sufficient
for ten graves, each grave must contain
the remains of 100 persons. The whole
surface of the globe, if all peoples bury
within the earth as we do, has been dug
over 100 times in order to get room fol-
burial places. st Louis Republic.
