Slowly droop its head and wither,
Who, you hoped, your life would bless.
Far away, in strength Of manhood,
Full Of promise. full of love,
Must a noble son be numbered
With the little one above
Down beneath the restless ocean
ON its deep, dark, pearly bed
viii another loved one ,lumbcr,
Till the sea gives up her dead
Yet for all these deep Affections,
There j. mnch left to enjoy;
L i well some clouds pass DER ~,

We should always this remember
As we pass beneath the rod,
He who giveth and who takcth

But hi lowing trusting children.

Gladly round you here this evening.

The Credentials we're Inadequate.
[Pittsburg Dispatch ]

One day last week lady who resides in
Chicago, on the South Side, advertised for
a servant. The first applicant who came
in answer to the advertisement was pref
ty and neat young girl, evidently but re-
Gently from Ireland. After some little talk
the lady asked the girl if she had any refer
ences.
'.Oh, yes, ma'am," the girl replied, and
handed over a sheet of paper. on which
was written the following legend:
To no it moi consarn:
Rally and thruly she be good gurl. She
kin do ginral work. She lived with me siv-
In months. She be me cussin. MRS. PO-
LICE OFFICER O'BRIEN.
The reference did not get the poor girl
place then and there.

Railroaders speak in high praise OF the
new vestibnled sleepers of the Northern
Pacific, saying they are without doubt
the finest sleeping cars run upon any
road. Each car has two state rooms
one single and the other double room
Each has its own private toilet room
The remainder Of the car is altogether
different from The ordinary sleeper. The
toilet rooms are large and much more
private. In the old style Of Pullman the
gentleIneD's toilet room has no privacy
whatever. In these they extend across
the car and are partitioned off 80 that one
passing through the car sees nothing of
the gentlemen making their toilet, Each
car is supplied with hot and cold water.
and ice water as well. The water lie car
ried in tanks beneath the ear. and bv a
new arrangement the necessity Of pump
ing water for toilet purposes is done
away with. The water Is forced into the
pipes by means of air pumps. Warm
water is obtained by having the water
pass through coil Of pipe encircling the
heater. The drinking water passes
through pipes upon which is placed a
large quantity Of ice. In the toilet room
Is an air gauge carrying The came amount
OF pressure in tank beneath the car as
is in the drum under the engine. This
constantly hes sufficient pressure to
keep running both hot and cold water,
as well as ice water. The two water
tanks beneath the cars are sufficient to
supply the capacity of tile car for sixty
hours. Should the car be cut off there ia
attached an air pump, with which by the
manipulation OF an eInplove sufficient air
can be forced into the tank to keep no q
stream OF running Ratel for ten hours.
In case OF fire the car is supplied with
hose which, attached to the toilet room
faucets, will give a stream sufficiently
heavy to check any ordinary blaze. The
interior car is all hand finished, the trim
inings being in blue silk glace, making
altogether the finest cars yet turned oui
by the Pullmad shops.
