What Railroad Pools Cost.

All told these organizations cost in
salaries and expenses 81, 223, 721, and to
this must be added the time given by
railroad officers who attend them to aid
some one else in minding their own
work. This is estimated at $500, 1000 a
year, no overestimate. The total cost
of these Injuries was. in 1888, 81, 500,-
600, or about per cent. on the sum
paid out as dividends last year by the
entire railroad system of the country.
The worst of it is that last year these
associations accomplished almost moth
ing. The fact is that pools and associ-
atoms are not wanted when there is
freight enough to go around, and they
break down when there isn't. Some
firmer bond sanctioned by the law is
needed to control our railroads. Phil

Forget-M e-Not: An Easter Poem.
Christ is risen, good Friday 10 past,
And joy has come after forty days fast;
The resurrection is for rich and poor,
3 For young and old, for evermore.
To enjoy springtime's beaming hours,
To gather natures lovely flowers,
The people 60 forth at early morn,
The church with garlands to adorn;
Each one brings q gift on the altar to lay,
For this is the holy Easter Day.
Bnt see little child with fearful eyes,
Her little heart breaking with pftiful cries;
Ny little one, why are your eyes full of tears2
Come, darling, and tell me all your fears
Oh, father! !, too, sought my Offering but
Ifound not single forget me-not."
There, there, be quiet the Lord helps in need,
He knows thy heart and takes the viii for the
Thy pure love, my little tot,
Is the dear Lords forget-me-not."
Thus speaks the father but the child weeps
still more,
And pleading, draws him once more to the door.
They seek again up and down the lake,
But spring is only partly awake.
Now, as they return at the close Of day
They meet an old beggar hard by the way,
Wringng his hand aud bewailing his lot.
Take pity, my child, and forget me not"
The child looks up with smile and a tear,
As the flowers true meaning comes to her ear;
She clasps from her neck a chain of gold,
And gives it to him with Joys untold.
The chain was Of tiny, golden buds,
Each holding in It's calyx the forgetme- nots.
4They taught me- she says, what had forgot
That the poor man is the Lords forget-me- not "
The child became queen of great renown,
And forget-me- nots still adorn her crown
For to hundreds she gave their daily food,
Maria Theresa the great and good.
