DEATH DEPOSED.

Death stately came to young man and said,
'lf thou vert dead
What matter?' The young man replied,
See my young bride,
Whose life were all one blackness if I died
Ny land requires me; and the worlds self too,
Methinks, would miss some things that can do. "
Then Death in scorn this only said,
BE dead
And so he was. And soon anothers hand
Made rich his land.
The sun, too. of three summers had the might
To bleach the widows hue, light and more light,
Again to bridal white.
And nothing seem'd to miss bsneath the sun
His work undone
But Death soon met another man whose eye
Was Natures spy,
Who said: 'Forbear thy too triumphant scorn.
The weakest born
OF all the sons of men is by his birth
Heir of the Might Eternal, and this Earth
Is subject TO him in his place.
Thou leav'st no trace.
Thou, the mock Tyrant that men fear and hate.
Grim, heshleSs Fate;
Cold, dark and wormy thing of loss and tears!
Not in the sepulchers
Thou dwellest. but in my crimson'd heart.
Where while it beats We call thee Life Depart
name, a shadow, into any gulf,
Out of this world, which is not thine,
But mine:
Or stay-because thou art
Only Mvsef.'

Great Works of Eurnne.

One of the most remarkable works of
the kind constructed in modern times is
the aqueduct bridge of Maintenon,
erected for the purpose of conveying
water from the river Eure to Versailles.
1t consists Of three rows of arches, one
above another, and is 200 feet high by
ive-sixths of a mile in length. The con-
duit that supplies Marseilles with the
water of the Durance is about sixty
miles in length, and one of its aqueduct
bridges is 262 feet high. The length of
the conduit which brings water from
Kaiserbrunn to Vienna is fifty-six and a
half miles, but the tallest of its aqueduct
bridges is only about 96 feet. The main
Paris aqueduct is little over 10 miles
long, and, with its subsidiary conduits,
compelled the construction of seventeen
bridges.-New York Ledger.

AS Others See Us.

A lady who prided herself on being
animated" once asked her maid,
Mary, how do 1 look when 1 am talk
ing?'
Mostly as if you was awful mad,
mum, was the honest reply.
Three gentlemen stood chatting to-
gether in a railway station, and one
CHANGED to notice two-thirds of a cigar
cite lying at their feet
''Ah," said he, 1.-The lady with whom
he had an appointment came sooner than
he expected. He would never have
lighted it if he had known"
NO" said the second, ''that isn't it.
He was only beginner, and he couldn't
stand any more of it."
Il think you are both wrong" put in
the other. ''He dropped it by accident,
and was too proud to pick it up
Each one of the three was sure that
his conjecture was correct, and they
urged their respective views with some
heat and animation. At short distance
from them stood two boys, one of whom
had been intently watching the group.
"Bill,'' said he to his friend, ''look at
them three gents fightin' over bit of
cigarette. The big un found it fust, but
the others were on him afore he could
grab it."-Youth's Companion.

GRAINS OF GOLD.

Anger blows out the lamp of the mind.
The great duty of life is not TO give
pain.
He who is in love with. himself has no
rival.
The most liberal are often the most
successful.
The past is utterly Indifferent to its
worshippers.
The wise are never less at leisure than
when at leisure.
The most annoying of all blockheads
is well read fool
Scepticism is a barren coast without
a harbor or lighthouse.
Opposition always influences the en-
thusiast, never converts him.
1t is not poverty SO much as pretense
which harnesses ruined man.
The test of enjoyment is the remem-
brances which it leaves behind.
There is no creature so contemplate
but by resolution may gain his point.
1t is a good part of breeding that a
man should be polite even to himself.
Resignation is the name of the angel
which carries most of our souls burden.
Long life is denied us, therefore let
us do something to show that we have
lived.
Superiority to circumstances is one OF
the most prominent characteristics OF
great men.

Tb. old Man Changed His Views.

When l was a boy went to visit an
austere old uncle of mine, who kept a
country store in a Florida town. He
was never known to laugh out loud or to
take much amusement out of anything.
There was big bumblebees' nest in the
eavestrough of the old store, however,
and the darkies that were always hang
ing about used to stir it up occasionally
to make fun. When a strange darky
would come around who did not know
of the trick, the boys would get him
near the nest, stir up the bees behind his
back, and then quietly get out of harms
way and watch the stranger jump when
the bees stung him.
This trick, when successfully carried
out, was one of the very few things that
tickled old Uncle Ben, and he would
watch its performance with anxiety lest
it should fail, and would then retire to
the back part of the shop and shake for
ten minutes with internal laughter,
which only found outward expression in
his quivering stomach and shoulders and
swapping black eyes. This had been re-
peated scores of times, when one day
there came hitch in the proceedings.
One bee lit Just on the old mans upper
lip, and gave him sting that raised
lump as big as a pigeons egg there in
about one minute.
Old Uncle Ben retired to the back Of
the shop, as usual, without giving any
sign of his smart, and followed him TO
see him shake with laughter. There was
no shake this time, however. The old
man called me to him and said: ''See
here, my boy, you run out into the back
yard and get me lump Of cold, wet
clay from the well side" l didiso, and
he sent me away again, saying that he
wanted the clay to stuff up a rat hole
with. l hid behind barrel, however,
and saw him clap the clay to his mouth,
take his head in his other hand, and
stamp around and swear to himself, till
l got scared. Then he took out some
ball blue from box, wrapped it up in
his handkerchief, dipped it in a pail of
water and rubbed it on his lip till he
looked like an Indian on the war path.
Finally he calmed down, washed him
self off, and came out looking sourer than
ever.
The next day the boys found a most
promising victim, and were preparing
to play the trick on him when Uncle
Ben came out and shouted: Snow, then,
you lazy rascals, won't have you driv-
ing off my customers with your scurvy
tricks. The first boy that touches that
bees nest will get a cowhide over his
back!' And the darkies never could I'M
derstand what caused the old man to
change his mind so suddenly about a
trick that had amused him so many
times-New York Tribune

A singular phenomenon of the light
ming fash is that its chief effects are OBJ
servable only at the points of its en-
trance and exit. Thus flash which en-
tered school room injured only the
first and last child on the form, those
between escaping unhurt. The most
effective treatment of lameness and other
ailments due to lightning is the applica-
ton alternately to the head, trunk and
limbs of large horseshoe magnet. In
case of quite recent stroke the clothing
should be unfastened, the patient laid
with the head high and quietness and
fresh air should be secured. If con-
sciousness does not return, the head
should be exposed to stream of cold
water,-Philadelph Press.

sos

THE New York Sun, the ablest Demo
cratic newspaper in the United States,
uses the following remarkable language
in a leading editorial published Oct. II,
1890.
Mr.. Mckinley is right, the rank and
file of the Democratic party are for pro-
lection. Nobody can tell at
present. what the effect of the McKin-
ley bill will DE, and to fight it would be
fighting in the dark" And again, in
another editorial of the same date:
The rise of prices applies, to be sure.
to some articles which are not affected
by the bill, it may even apply to some
articles whose cost will be reduced by
the bill"
Here then, from a source whose
Democracy no one will question. comes
complete reply to the position of the
Democratic press and of Democratic
orators.
The rank and file of the Democratic
party are for protection. Can any
American citizen who has the good of
his country and Of himself and of his
neighbor at heart, be for anything else !?
And yet we are told by Democratic
orators and Democratic newspapers
that the policy of protection means tine
enriching of the few who manufacture
at the expense of the many who do not.
Will the rank and file" believe this:
The rank and file" can reason and think
as well as The New York Sun, and
when force is attempted to be added to
the Democratic argument by pointing
to the present advance in prices, it is a
sufficient answer to ask, How do you ac-
count for the rise in the prices of
articles not affected by the Mckinley
bill? How about the same with refer
ence to articles the prices of which is
lowered by the bill? The fact is the
rise in prices is simply the first indica-
ton of the better times of confidence
and prosperity which invariably follow
the settlement of such controversies in
favor of American manufacturers and
American laborers. Unfair advantage
will no doubt be taken for a time by
unscrupulous men and some display in
this direction will be made by Demo
cratic merchants who are employed to
advance their prices ION account of the
Mckinley bill" by Democratic man
ayers, but through all this bluff and
bluster can be seen the sun of prosperi-
ty and better times, and its genial rays
will not be mistaken for the fires of op-
preston, notwithstanding the false cry
of the un-American and unpatriotic
managers of the Democratic-British
free trade party, for the rank and file"
are for protection.

French Pensions.

The cost of the French revolutions to
the French government of today is re-
corded in this little list of pensioned per-
pire, $4,000 francs; in consequence of
Vienna peace, 434, ,211; men of the times
of Louis XVIII and Charles X, $4,000;
families of Louis Philippe's time, Al ,225;
wounded in June, 1S4S, 1867 persons
of the Second Empire, 49,, 900; wounded
in February, 1s4s, $4,000; victims of
Dec. 2, 1858, ,266. Each government has
respected the pension obligation of its
predecessor as to this growing list, and
has paid every item with scrupulous reg
ularity.-Paris Letter.

Coming Notifications in War Tactics


It is pointed out as one of the conse-
quences of the universal introductions
of smokeless powder which is now immi-
nent, that, as soldiers will have to seek
all possible cover, it will be necessary
to multiply the number of orderlies and
messengers, and the commander-in-chief
will have to take his position in the CEN
tire of action to watch everything and
to be ready to modify the original plan
swiftly if needful. The change from
brilliant uniforms to those of soberer
and safer hues will involve such expense
that it is likely to be deferred for a
while, but the glitter of helmets and
bayonets is now so dangerously visible
that already the French minister of war
has given orders that in the army of the
republic these shall be dulled with
bronze.-New York Commercial Adver-

Brussels, "a 4cents.

Mr.. J. T. CAREw, head or the great
Fifth street clothing house, in Cincia-
natl. expresses himself in this way con-
corning the tariff: The Mckinley bill
will increase prices slightly on certain
articles in our business, such as i'm
ported underwear, but then the average
American, you know. dosen't wear i'm.
ported underwear, and where's the
difference? The increased cost of
clothing will be so slight that it will
not be felt by the consumer, for the
consumer won't have to bear it. On
the clothing that rich men wear the
new tariff law makes difference, for
it puts up the cost of Innings and trim
mings. On the clothing that is worn by
the masses-the medium priced, the
popular clot hing-there will be no in
crease in prices because of the McKin.
ley bill. 1t will not interfere with
prices at all. On worsteds and broad
cloths, the extremely high priced
fabrics worn by wealthy men, the new
tariff will cause slight increase in
price, but not very much. In the lower
grades the old prices will maintain.
The foreign manufacturers, who have
had an immense trade, will have great
deal of their business cut off. This will
cause them to scale their prices, and if
their fabrics are wanted in this country
people will find that there will be little
difference in price on account of the
new tariff. These things always adjust
themselves. The young man in our
custom department was bit exercised
about the tariff law, but when l looked
into things found that on wool suits,
which we make to order for from $40 to
$50, the tariff only increased the cost 81
and $l.50 We're willing to stand thar,
and our customers won't have to pay a
cent more than they did before the
tariff bill was conceived. So far as
clothing is concerned, the people needn t
worry about the Mckinley BILL"
TIE governor called an "extraordi-
nary session" of the legislature and he
got more than he bargained for. He
has been taught that to fool with the
rotten gang in Cincinnati means politi-
cal death or humiliation. The "re-
moval" committee are after him. He
will take his Political de eparture in the
way laid down for Cronin and Hen
nessey. Opposition to the public robbery
of the gang will not be tolerated. Their
chops are red from crushing bones to
secure Doodle, and like hyenas they
pursue those who endeavor to choke
them off their plunder. The old gang
in Cincinnatiis is simply acting as everyone
cognizant of their methods knew they
would, if returned to power. The re-
cord of the Democratic party in this
state smiles to the heavens, and to rid
the people of the public plunderers can
only be effected by calling the Republi-
can party into power again. That il
the truth with the bark on.

THERE is no real conflict between
truth and politeness; what is imagined
to be such is only the crude mistake of
those who fail to discover their harmo-

is the graceful expression of respect,
kind feeling, and good will.
