The Legend Of the Willow.
Way IT Is CALLED THE "WEEPINe Will
LOW"

Way IT Is CALLED THE "WEEPINe Will
LOW"
One day golden.haired child, who lived
where no trees or flowers grew was gazing
wistfully through the open gate of beau
tiful park, when the gardener CHANGED to
throw out an armful of dry cuttings.
Among them the little girl discovered one
with tiny bud just starting. "Perhaps it
will grow" she whispered to herself, and,
dreaming of wide, cool boughs and hutter-
ing leaves, she carried it carefully home,
and planted it in the darksome area. Day
after day she watched and tended it, and
when by and by, another bud started, she
knew that the slip had taken root. Years
passed and the loWly home gave place to a
pleasant mansion, and the narrow area wild
ened into spacious garden, where many a
green tree threw its shadow. But for the
golden haired child, now grown into love-
" maiden, the fairest and dearest of them
all was the one she had 30 tenderly nourish-
ed. No other tree, she thought, cast such
a cool, soft shade, in no other boughs did
The birds sing so sweetly.
But while the tree lived and flourished
the young girl dropped and faded. Sweeter
and sadder grew the light in her blue eyes,
I'LL ny duu ny Oou anSol LouOnOu enonl
with a dreamless sleep. Loving hands
crowned the white brow with myrtle, and
under the branches she had loved laid her
tenderly to rest.
But from that hour, as if in sorrow for
the one that tended it, the stately tree be-
gan dropping. Lower and lower bent the
sad branches, lower and lower until they
caressed the daisied mound that covered
her form.
tree weeps for her who loved it," And
they called it the weeping willow.

Never Bets On His Own Horse.

They tell good story of man who has
fondness for fast horses. A year or two
ago he had one that was said to be q sthyer, -
and marvellous stories were told about what
she had done, and was capable of doing.
But an intimate friend noticed that the OWE
err of the wonderful horse never staked any
money on Der.
a'Why don't you back her for good, round
sum if she can do what you claim she can ?''
he asked. "That would prove that you had
confidence in her but as it is"
''See here, my FRIEND" said the other,
with twinkle in his eye, "don't you know
me well enough to know that Pm too modest

THAT PIANO NEXT DOOR.
BY nc. DODGE.


VIII anything stop that plano next door?
Beginning at daylight till midnight is DER.
It's hammered and pounded and sung at and
banged
BY music.mad people who aught to be hanged
I'm Weakened each morn when schoolgirl
begins
To practice the scales, till I'm punished for
sins;
Then her overgrown sister, who sings like q
COW,
Keeps up till the noon her ear-torturing row,
After dinner that tin-pan piano resounds
With horrible medley OF one-fnger POUNDS
From children unruly. from baby and nurse
Till its racket of discord can hardly be worse.
After supper that family ofmusical mirth
Torments that piano for all they are worm
AL street-organ tunes that Wagneri'e na'e''
All topical songs thatsuch anguish creates.
Are iinrled and tangled and warbled and play
ed
Tilldogs howl in chorus and cats are afraid.
On Sundays, when decent pianos will rest,
This rattle-box nuisusance is doing Its best;
The men folks around it, with crazy delight.
Shout camp-meeting hymn with steam-en'
CINE might;
Like fog-horns, like thunder, like animals
roars
Their voices let loose. rattles windows and
doors.
And then. while they take just moment fol
breath,
You hear that plano that stops not for death
II something don't quench that piano mex

The folks who torment IT will welter in gore.

The New York Sun speaks as follows on

The New York Sun speaks as follows on
the subject of an educational qualification
for suffrage -
ssBut the essential weakness of argument
shown by the advocates OF an educati0nal
cal morality, or morality Of any other kind,
depends upon education. Every mans
knowledge of the world will tell him the
contrary. Education is necessary to the
formation of an accomplished scoundrel.-
It does not of itself improve mans moral
character. To suppose that the simplest
educational qualification, the ability. to
read and write, will make it's possessor less
willing to sell his vote, is to suppose q
self-evident absurdity. Men are not puri-
fed by learning to make pothooks or dc
sums in the rule of three; and politics il
not to be purified by primary schools"

During the late Presidential campaign
the laborers in the iron works in Psnnsyl.
vania were induced to vote the republican
ticket by the tale continuously ding donged
into their ears that high tariff meant
high wages and that protection increased
wages. Well, at the close of work last Sat-
urday at the iron works at Birdsboro',
Penn, the employees were informed that a
reduction of 25 cents per ton would be
made in their wages, and at all the blast
furnaces in the Mahoning Valley the en-
ployes were notified that hereafter their
wages would be reduced ten per cent. All
of which rot only proves the selfishness of
the employers, BAT the gullIbility of their
employees. When the latter learn that the
law of supply and demand applies to the
price of labor as it does to that of every
other commodity, and that now, as when
the system was first inaugurated, tariffs
are means by which the many are robbed
for the benefit of the few, the high tariff,
that now enables few men in this coun-
try to pillage all the others, will soon be
abolished. Gazette.

the prisoners to return to their quarters,

with it had picked the lock of the door lead

lock, SO that it could not be opened. This
was finally accomplished. however, by
melting the lead out, and Moses will here

the steel cell, cramp or no cramp. This il

A GIRLS SWEET EXPERIENCE

He said: mo one shall ever learn
This secret that my heart must keep;
No matter how the words may burn.
No matter how my heart may leap,
No one shall know love her SO,
No one shall know, no one shall know"
But though his lips were tightly sealed.
The very birds his secret guessed.
For in his eye it was revealed,
And in his face 1T was confessed:
ST love her SO, love her so, rknow!
Bnt none shall know, but none shall
The wind soon found 1t and ran on
To tell 1t to the wondering flowers,
And bear 1t to the gates of dawn.
Where loiter all the coming hours;
That they might know he loved her SO,
That they might know, that they might
know.
Some time all secrets must unfold,
And soon did he listener seek,
To whom his story might be told,
Before the laughing world should speak
And tell her If she did not know,
He loved her SO, he loved her so.

sey, colored, of Rockbridge Baths. 1t
seems that on Sunday night Dorsey and a
colored companion concluded to take ride
at some one else's expense, and they went
to Bethesda Church whilst services were
going on and rode off the horses of Mr.. j.

side. They went as far as Brownsburg
and turned the horses loose. Dorsey was
apprehended and taken before Squire Fat
terson who sent him on to the grandjury
the other man is known and will be ar

pears, been carried on for some time in
that section, and it has been determined to
take some measures to put a stop to it,
