NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.
WHY NOT BEFORE?

You will come when my face is as pale as the
flowers,
The lily white flowers you strew on my bier;
ion will 'cone ct the close Of the long, lonely
hours
And show how you loved me-when am not
here;
When the long watch Is over, and life Is no
But why not before friend; oh. why not
beforGy
You will bring of those flowers the best and tho
rarest
To wave DER my casket in beauty and bloom;
You will whisper my name mid the proudest and
faircst
And tell how my going has left you in gloom;
When nothing can comfort the heart that
was sore;
Then why not before, friend; oh, why not
beforey
You will come to my grave with heart almost
broken,
And think of the kind words YOU oft might have
You will wish, eh how kcenly. the words could be
spoken
That now cannot fill the dull ear of the dead;
When your voice cannot reach me on
Lethe's dark shore
Then why not before friend; oh why not
beforey
You will sing of my songs, you will tell Of my
story,
And weave the bright garland of praise round
my name;
You will crown my cold brow with the laurel of
glory,
When vain is the glory and useless the fame;
When the poor heart is still and the long
ing is DER,
Then why not before, friend; OH why not

thoughts went back to that blissful week
when the music of one voice had traDsllg-
ured her whole life with Joy, when the Ian
guage OF love had spoken from eyes in whose
gaze shc could never again read its mute
and passionate eloquence. She shook like u
leaf where she stood, with the flame OF tho
yellow lamplght on her bright hair and soft
flowing dress.
He gazed at her, and reading the softenlng
face, the lustrous eyes, by the light of his
own desires, he came nearer once more.
"Say the word, my beautiful, and am
your slave forever"
She glanced at his flushed face, his plead
ing eyes with an amazed scorn, an express
sion of contempt and loathing that startled
him.
",The word-what wordp"
"That you will be mine; that you lovo me-"
"Love you," she laughed scornfully; 'youi

flercely, as he drew her into his arms in the
delirium and abandonment of the passion
that her scorn only lashcd to greater .inten-
sity, to hotter pursuit. She wrested herself
from his grasp and few to the door.
"This is the second time you have in

Leopold Won Brandstein drew deep
breath. His face was still flushed, his eyes
dark with the mingled emotions that swept
through his undisciplined heart. He felt fu-
rous with her, enragad with himself, in that

which had never failed him so utterly BEFORE

Pittsburg Dispatch reporter noticed q

were done inside. On knocking at the door
good -natured old German woman of per-

The old lady persisted in leeching the re-

offered her whole stock, l40 odd, for $40,

Barnun's First Hippopotamus.

THE first hippcpotamus ever seen
in this country" said Tody Hamilton,
was brought here by Mr. Barnum.
1t was about twenty-five years ago.
Mr.. Barnum wanted one the worst
way, and had been ON the lookout for
one for many years, when he heard
that some natives in South Africa had
caught a big fellow in Il pit, and that
it had been sold toa German dealer in
wild animals. The dealer got an
offer of $25, 900 for it and the offer
was accepted. Ten thousand dollars
was paid when the brute was safely
placed on board the vessel that was to
bring him over; another SIC, 900 was to
be paid when he arrived here, and the
remaining $1,000 at tho cxpi-
ration Of three months in case the
brute lived. lie arrived here in good
condition and was the center of curl
osity for several months. But he was
so big and clumsy and required so
much room that Mr.. Barnum consent
cd to rent him to Il man named Berry,
who wanted to take him round the
country exhibiting him. Berry paid
$500 Il week for him, and the venture
was SO profitable that he cleared $780,
600 in one year. New York Sun.
