friend in distant land, you say via sucn a
city, or via such a steamer. When you send
your good wishes to US, send them via the
throne Of God. We shall not travel out Of
the reach Of your prayers
There is a scene where spirits dwell
Where friend holds intercourse with friend;
Though sundered far, by faith we meet
Around one common mercy seat
And now, may the blessing Of God come
down upon your bodies and upon your souls,
your fathers and mothers, your companions,
your children, your brothers and sisters, and
your friendsi May you be blessed in your
business and in your pleasures, In your joys
and in your sorrows, in the house and by the
wayl And il, during our separation, an
arrow from the unseen world should strike
any of US, may it only hasten on the raptures
that God has prepared for those who love
himl l utter not the word farewell; it is
too sad, too formal a word for me to speak
or write But, considering that have your
hand tightly elasped in both Of mine,
utter kind, an affectionate and cheerful

hotel, and is regarded by her employers as an
able and accomplished freseo artist. She is
very pretty and graceful, also exceedingly
shy. Under the protecting presence Of her
father she escorted the reporter to her studio,
where all sized canvases Of as many different
subjects graced the walls in charming eonfu-

The whIte House rat Hole.

The campaign against the White House
rats has resulted unfortunately In one re-
spect, namely, the loss Of one Of the ferrets
which were chiefly relied upon as instru-
ments of destruction. This ferret, which was
the star artist Of the combination, has not
been seen since it disappeared down a rat hole
on Monday evening.
Whether the rats have conquered the ferret
or whether it is simply reveling in the gore
OF countless victims and has not time to come
back and report, is a mystery which is agitat-
ing domestic life at the executive mansion.
The last known Of the ferret is that it was
under the tiling Of the main corridor. A fer
ret expert who was among the callers at the
White House volunteered the theory that it
had sucked the blood Of so many rats that it
had gone to sleep in some nook until it re-
Vived from its over indulgence. This theory
gave but little satisfaction, inssmuch as live
rats scampering about the establishment
would not be half so bad as dead ones under
the flooring Washington Post.
