WISHING AND HAVING.

If to wish and to have were one, my dear, You would not be sitting now With not . care in your tender heart. Not . wrinkle upon your brow: The clock of time would go back with you, All the years you have been my wife, Till its golden hands had pointed out The happiest hour of your life; Iwould stop them at that immortal hour; The clock should no longer run; You would not be sad and sick and old If to wish and to have were one. You are not here in the winter. my love, The snow is not whirling down; You are out in the heart of the summer
 woods, In your dear old seaside town; A batter of little feet in the leaves,
 A beautiful boy at your side; He Is gathering flowers in the shady nook 1t WAS but . dream that he died! Keep hold of his hands and sing to him; No mother under the sun Had such s seraphic child as yours If to wish and to have were one. Methinks I am with you there, dear wife, In that old house by the sea; l have flown to you the bluebird flies To his mate in the poplar tree. A sailors hammock hangs at the door, You swing in it, book in hand, A boat is standing in for the beach,
 It's keel grates on the sand: Your brothers are coming-two happy men, Whose lives have only begun; Their days may be long on the land, dear
 heart- e
 If to wish and to have were one. If to wish and to have were one, ah, mel would not be old and poor, But young and prosperous gentleman, With never dun at the door; There would be no past to bewail, my love, There would be no future to dread; Your brothers would be live men again, And my boy would not be dead. Perhaps it will all come right at last; 70. e. It may be when all is done We shall be together in some good world, Where to wish and to have is one.

The Latest Slot Device.


 "Drop quarter in the slot and have your photograph taken."
 A South Side photographer was standing by a handsome cabinet simil- ar in appearance to the automatic weighing machines which confront one everywhere.
 "A quarter! Whats the matter with a nickel?'' -...
 "A nickel will do in three or four months when the novelty wears off. But until the Automatic Photograph ist is succeeded by 3, machine which will turn you out house and lot a quarter only will work it. It is the latest thing out.
 The reporter squared himself before small closed opening ill the cabinet opposite his face. He dropped a quar- ter in slot lower down. Instantly a little metal door unclosed the opening, exposing the eye of 8 camera. There was flash of light. The opening closed. And in couple of minutes finished photograph of himself fell on a salver before the reporter.
 "How did you strike the idea of of such an invention?"
 "A Board of Trade man suggested it," said he. ''IIe said there was big money in it. Eleven weeks ago started at it, and here it is, patented with corporation behind it-all ready to take in the quarters. And it will take them in, for it is the only invention of the sort that appeals directly to the universal vanity of the puplic." e
 While apparently complicated, the mechanism of the machine turned out to be simple. It is run by an ordinary cell battery, the quarter completing the current. An instantaneous camera is supplied with the necessary light by 8 flash of magnesium and chloride of potash, dropped for each photograph on pan above the opening and ignited by the heat of platinum wire. The photograph is taken on @ celluloid sheet about the size of a tintype. A set of rollers and preparation of collodion in emulsion develop and dry the impression. The likeness issues much better finished than the ordinary tintype.
 "The machine cost about $5O," said the photographer. "The expense of operating them is next to nothing. We will soon have them in every hotel drug store and saloon in the country. sAre you going to utilize the inven- tion for any other purpose than amuse- ment?"
 t'Yes, for two serious purposes. l have machine under construction which is to have the appearance of a clock and be placed at the railings of cashiers and tellers in banks" ''What for?"
 "To enable them to take photo graph of any one who cashes a check in case they should want to identify him afterwards. While the man is betore the railing the cashier or teller will press an electric button and the mans photograph will be taken in a teenth of second. He will see noth- ing but slight flash in the clock, and couldn't get away if he tried before the instrument has indelibly recorded his features"
 ssA similar machine will be made for use in police stations. The photo- graphs of suspects and criminals may be obtained without their knowledge and the consequent distortion of feat ures which characterizes so many of the forced photographs in the rogues gallery. ."-Chicago Tribune.

FIRST LOVE.

The moon rose slow in silver splendor,
 One great star glowed alone above, As, murmuring in accents tender,
 I wandered with my little love. We two alone. The restless ocean
 Broke billowy on the glistenipg shore; ''Tell me-" whispered, with emotion,
 ''Tell me you never loved before." Her azure eyes thro' tear drops glisten,
 And stiiing heart throbs half o'ercome her, While wind and wave stand still to listen Soft falls her answer, "Not this Summer"

A JEWEL OF A WOMAN.

"Where are you going this evening, Winterbourne?
 "Oh! Pm off to the Jollity. Will you come with me?''
 "I was half engaged-still, I'll come to take care of you. You need looking after badly. Your infatuation about Gladys Dalton is becoming the talk of the town. A common burlesque ac- tress-phaugh!
 ssMy dear Baring," answered Wis count Winterbourne, warmly, ''she is the most divine woman l have ever seen, and 1 won't hear word said against her. l tell you frankly that, if could win her consent, would make her Lady Winterbournc to-mor- row." *
 "'Pon my life this is sheer mad ness!" his friend remonstrated. |.The woman can neither act nor sing bit. She depends solely on her beauty and even that is nothing phenomenal. There are scores of others equally at tractive."
 .sTo my mind she's the only woman in the world," Lord Winterbourne replied. st. '.That is unfortunate" was the re- tort. s'For she certainly does not regard you as the only man. Indeed, there are fifty other fellows whom she favors with her smile, and for the mere purpose of obtaining presents from them. You know she has craze for jewelry." ... ..ss
 'I know she is very fond of it, and I care to gratify her in this respect. See. here is diamond star, from Chouse & Cheetalrs, which heard of her admiring the other day. 1 called in at the shop and bought it this after noon." .-.
 'sReally, Winterbourne," said Bar ing, as he examined the magnificent jewel, "this is a gift worthy of an empress. May ask its figure?"
 "Five hundred!" was the reply.
 Barring shrugged his shoulders and elevated his brows, not in surprise but in disapprobation.
 "Can you not see," he inquired .'that the woman is fooling you il fo oEn nf She is always limiting her admiration of some of Chouse & Cheetall's treas ures to one or other of her admirers The jewellers ought to pay her com mission; she is source of unlimited custom to them"
 fYou may sheer at her as yor please" the other retorted, "but yor will not make me believe that she i not the most divine woman under tn, sun, or dissuade me from my purpos, of winning her for my wife!'
 "'Tis useless to reason with you, sce," Barring answered. "Throw ava, your money, therefore, if you please But for Heavens sake don't throy yourself away on such Q woman!"
 elf you had only seen her, an spoken to her-off the stage" LOT, Winterbourne exclaimed-"youw woul admit"
 "Have you, then, SO far improves your acquaintance with her since W last metz" interpcsed his friend quickly.
 "Yes!" was the reply; sI oLtaine her leave to call upon her, at rooms i Grafton street, where shc lives wit her mother. And I assure you Barring, that the refinement Of he conversation end manner was such g the best bred woman in town coul not have surpassed"
 Barring laughed, and again shrugge his shoulders.

THE committee of thirty-one APP
pointed at the Dallas freight conven-
ton some weeks since met the repre-.
sentatives of the several Texas roads
in conference at Dallas yesterday and
only succeeded in widening the
breach between the roads and the
shippers. The Santa Fee representa-
tive offered TO turn over the road to
the committee if the committee would
guarantee seven per cent of the
money actually invested in the road,
and the committee stigmatized the
proposition as an insult. This was
disclamed by the railway men and
statements were presented by the
Santa Fe and the Houston and
Texas Central showing that there
were now large deficits in the
running expenses of the roads and
that no general reduction of rates
could be made. Some members of the
committee then took fire and said
they would go before the people of
Texas with their grievances and have
the Legislature take up the matter.
Proposition was made for per cent re-
duction on certain classes of freight in
excess of south Atlantic states tariff,
aud the roads replied that under state
law they could not consider that
proposition as a whole but that it
must come before each road separate
ly. If the figures presented by the
railway representatives are correct to
push this fight, as threatened by the
Messrs. Love and Blake, is merely a
threat of confiscation. 1t is no. prob
able that the people of Texas intend
or desire to push the railways 10 the
wall, it would be a suicidal policy.
