THE OLD HOUSE.

In through the porch and up the silent stair;
Little Is changed, know SO well the ways:
Here the dead came to meet me; it was there
The dream was dreamed in unforgotten dayR
But who is this that hurries on before,
A fitting shade the breeding shades amongS
She tur1ed-I saw her face-O God. it wore
The face used TO wear when was youngi
thought my spirit and my heart were tanned
To deadness-dead TO pangs that agonize.
The old grief springs to choke mel am ashamed
4 Before that little ghost with eager eyes.
Oh, turn away! let her not see not know!
How should she bearft, how should understand
phi hasten down the stairway, haste and go.
And leave her dreaming in the silent land

They Meant to XIII.

Something Hike fifty years ago two young
men, one a lawyer and the other a doctor,
loved the same girl IN the town Of Grand
Gulf, Miss Both could not have her, and
neither could live without her. It was to be
duel to the death There was no insult to
be avenged by a discharge Of firearms, no
stain on reputation TO be wiped out By a
few drops Of blood. The lawyer said il was
to be duel poutrance. The arrangements
for massacre were complete
The principals were armed with rifles, re-
volvers and bowieknives They had more
confidence IN Decentralization Of their hate
than in the accuracy Of their aim. The rifles
were to be discharged first at twenty PAGES.
If neither combatant was killed they were to
advance, firing their revolvers at viii, and if
they still lived the battle waste be continued
with the knives.
1t was early morning when the party Of
four men, principals and seconds, left the lit
tie town of Grand Gulf and sought grove a
few miles distant Noeffort at reconcihation
was made; no time was lost in the prelimi-
naries The men were placed, tho word given
to fire, and the rifles echoed the signal The
lawyer stumbled forward and fell, blood
streaming from his mouth. He was uncon-
scious when his second raised him, and 1t was
found that the bullet had entered one cheek,
tore away section Of the jaw, and had made
its exit through the other side Of his face.
There was no more fighting. although the
doctor gave his opponent more than the time
allowed by the Marquis of Queensberry rules
The craftsmanship of the physician did
not win the young lady. Some talk was
made about the fight, and she was removed
to another part Of the state. The lawyer re-
covered and went to Holly Springs, where
he became an Episcopal minister.-San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

Wounen's Clubs.

Not until within a few years has the ques-
ton of a club for women on the same plan
as mans club become subject Of more or
hess interest to women. Many Of them want
it, and believe that it would be great sue
cess, while others quite as confidently. assert
to the contrary. Undoubtedly there are ex-
cellent reasons for both opinions An i'm
portant question Is: With what class of
women would it be a SUGGEST For not all Of
those who want it would be the ones to make
it successful and it is just possible that after
the novelty was worn off the members would
lose their interest in it, and the whole thing
would be falure.-New York Star.

The Englishman Was sileuced.

An EngEshman was being entertained in q
Beacon street parlor one evening when the
conversation turned upon the difference be-
tween English and American cities.
Zone thing is shocking to US" the English
man observed, land that is the many cases
Of violence in the streets here That, YOU
know, is so different in the English city,
Different" exclaimed one of the young
ladies who was entertaining the guest; II
never saw half the violence in the streets
here that l have in England. Why, when
we were in Liverpool last summer we started
ont to take walk, and we had only sot
across the street from the hotel when a hor-
rihle, great drunken fshwife came I'D to me
without any provocation and offered to fight
me for s;xpence. never was SO frightened
In all my ife."
''What did you dot Call the policei" she
was asked
''Csn the policeg' she echoed 'sTherewas
no police in sight to call l don't know what
] should have done If coalheaver hadn't
come along and volunteered to take the quar-
rel off my hands by fighting the horrible
creature for nothing"
"And you got away without harm?"
Eyes; but never had anything like that
happen to me on the streets Of an American
city"
"No," the visitor responded dryly, EFT
couldn't, you know. An American coal
beaver would have charged you at least
double for taking the affair of your hands"
Every likely" coolly put in a young lady
who had not yet spoken, ''for the truth is
chat only in England are even ooalheavera
fond Of fighting with women"
The conversation was found to be taking a
turn that would on the whole not prove con-
ducive 10 social harmony, and the subject
was therefore dropped--Boston Courier.

cross a dingy letter addressed to Miss Hadas-

1t proved to be the journal letter of Robert
Harley to his sweetheart. He had written a
few lines daily; but its delivery was sadly
delayed Inquiry elected the fact that the
bark had gone ashore as Bennett had related,

THE CODE QUESTION.
No Probability That tho senate VIII
Act Immediately.

The senate Is not disposed to tackle
the code, and II the house insists on TAX
ing II up and running 1t through at this
session there is liable to be deadlock,
and the probabilities are that the matter
will be put OIL SO long that 1t can not be
touched this session, and will necessari-
ly have to go to Hill, or some one else,
or commission. 1t is claimed by ex-
pericnced members that the legislature,
as whole, could not perfect code in
less than three months of steady work,
at an expense of over 1900, whereas,
under any other manner of procedure,
the cost would not be over $50, 900, and a
more perfect and complete work could
be secured.
One project is to appoint three. joint
committees, of five members each, and
let these committees hire first.class law.
yers as clerks, and then go Mt the work
systematically, reporting their progress
to both houses each day. This plan EN-.
braces a standing conference committee
to arrange the disagrecmerts, and 1t Is
claimed that the work can be done in
side of sixty days, in connection with
the other necessary and probable legis-
lative work. This plan has the advan.
tage OF putting the code on certain
basis, and of completing 1t as far us tho
work goes. If the work on the code Is
lett to a commission and printed the
next legislature Is liable to tear the re-
port all TO pieces, and the expense would
be dead loss to the state,
IL Is better, say the advocates of this
plan, to have 1t cost a little more, and to
put the code beyond II possibility of an
entire revision, than to risk the spend
ing Of a smaller amount uselessly.
