CROSSING THE BAR.

Sunset and evening afar,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning Of the bar,
When put out to sea.
But such tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the bound
less deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the darki
And may there be no sadness Of farewell,
When embark;
For tho from out our bourne Of Time and
Place
The flood may bear me far,
Ihope to see my Pilot face to face

The faculty of Hope College,
Holland, Michigan, have gotten
themselves into a serious trouble.
1t seems that the rules Of the col
lege forbade the students taking
girls out riding. One of the sem
Tor class overstepped this rule and
took his best girl out buggyriding.
For this offense he was promptly
expelled. This action of the facul-
ty swelled the hearts Of the Seniors
with indignation. Evidently they
all had best girls, for they are all
In open rebellion and refuse to par
ticipate in the commencement exer-
cises unless the expelled senior is
re-instated. He was besought by
the faculty to return, and was as
sured forgiveness and that all would
be forgotten but he presistently re-
fused, and consequently there will
be no commencement exercises.

A LONG LOST BROTHER.


Among the happy reunions and
thrilling incidents of the old SOL
diers at the unwilling at Rich
mond, perhaps the following was
the most touching: Adjutant Gen
eral Oxley, of West Virginia, lost a
brother during the war, although
he and the other members of his
family have been earnestly looking
and inquiring for him ever since, no
news of his death or whereabouts
could be ascertained. The family
for all these long years have been
mourning the fate Of their brother
and son. They could not tell
whether he had been killed or lost.
II he was dead they wanted to take
his remains to the family burying
ground, where they could keep the
little mound that covered them
green. They had given up the
search, and the mother went to her
grave mourning the loss of her boy.
General Oxley, while standing at
the unwilling exercises, became en-
gagged in conversation with an old
soldier, whom he didn't know.
During the talk he told him his
name. The veteran remarked !:
care you any relation to Jim
Oxley, who was killed at Gettys-
burg?
81 had brother by that name,"
replied General Oxley, "whom we
have never heard of since. Please
describe him."
The veteran soldier gave a des-
cription of the brave soldier from
West Virginia, and how he was
shot down by his own side and died
in few minutes, and the veteran
took his place. The description
answered perfectly to that of the
dead brother, and the first news OF
him moved General Oxley to tears.
The scene was, indeed, affecting
General Oxley thanked the old SOL
der over and over again, and said
he would go home and tell his peo-
pie of the first news of their lost
brother. -Moundspillc Herald.

A CONDITION, NOT A THEORY.
An Alarming Confront Before the
Farmers Of the Country.

Nothing more alarming confronts
the people of Pennsylvania, and
for that matter, the whole United
States, than the serious condition
OF the farmers. TO those who live
in rural communities this is very
apparent, while those who live in
populous manufacturing centers,
though not perhaps cognizant of the
fact, because of their fortunate sur
roundings, yet they cannot fail to
notice the depressed condition of
their rural fellowmen.
The horny-handed, honest per-
severeing tiller of the soil is slow to
make complaint. He does not
seek the comforts of palaces nor the
Injuries of kings. His ambition is
humble. From the dawn of day to
It's close he struggles among his
acres, drawing from them by his
industry the very elements of our
life and the staple commodities of
our country's commerce.
But the heel of oppression has
ground him to the dust. His boys
are leaving home to seek their bread
in other branches Of industry. His
girls and helpmate toll at the sew
ing machine until life becomes a
burden. His broad acres, where
once grew rich, luxurious crops, are
covered with weeds, and year after
year the mortgage on his place in
creases while the value decreases,
and the assessor, followed by the
taxgatherer, each year adding a
little to their demands.
The railroads discriminate against
him in the hauling they do for him;
the pixies demand toll for his horses;
the township assesses him with
heavy taxes for badly made roads.
and inefficient schools; the county
taxes him for expensive Court trl-
ais, magnificent county buildings,
and political jobs; the man who
loans him money taxes him for the
interest, and in addition thereto
the State has taxed the money thus
loaned; the Government taxes him
with every cent Of tariff imposed
upon the goods and implements he
uses, and from every direction he
is made the target Of taxation.
This has continued until notwith-
standing all his power Of endurance
and perseverance, he now sends
mp his modest but nevertheless de-
termined protestation. lie has seen
his home go down in ruins before him
All the results Of many years toll
have been taken by the tax -gatberer,
and al that is left is prospect full
Of the utmost misery.
Let his voice be heard ! The time
has surely come when all other
subjects are but secondary TO the
pressing needs Of the farmer. IN.

eft! Why, If they don't Git I'll
knock the internal old house down"
1t was 10 o'clock the next morn
ing when l went out to the barn.
He had the door covered with the
wire-matting, and proudly called
my attention to it.
(Which is the outside Of the
door?" / asked:
"Why, the side this way, Of
COURSE"
"Then you've tackled the cloth on
the inside!"
"That's where It belongs"
"You never saw it there, Mr..
Bowser- And look at the
way you have tackled the stuff on.
It's bumped up in a dozen differ
cnt places, because you pulled it
askew."
"There isn't one hump-not the
sign of hump? I'll give any man
billion dollars TO make u better job
of it! All the door needs now is
painting"
"But don't they paint the frames
before they tack the cloth on {? How
are you going to paint the inside of
the frame ?''
Don't You worry yourself about
this job. Mrs. Bowser, 1 wasn't
born alongside of n huckleberry
marsh!"
But after l had gone away, he
tore of the wire and painted the
frame, and the next morning he
covered the other. That night Mr..
Bowser kicked around in his sleep
in the most awful manner, and at
about 2 o'clock in the morning he
suddenly sat up in the bed and ex-
claimed
"Squecgawedl I'll bet you four
hundred thousand billion dollars
against a cent that they are as
plumb as rule
Mr.. Bowser had been at work on
hour next morning before / went
out. He had the doors at the front
and he seemed to have some trouble
about hanging them.
"You see what you've done, don't
your" l asked after survey of the
scene.
81 don't belle We I'm either near
sighted or blind" he replied.
"Well you've got one door wrong

"H-how Pr
"Look at the panels and see.
Then you have been trying to hang
one to swing in and the other to
swing out.

know about it. Pm simply fitting
the screens so they will shut tight"
just about noon he got hang on
both doors, and as l looked at them
from the hall / had to sit down on
the floor and laugh. They didn't
meet in the center within two inches
and each was half an inch short at
the top and bottom. He had also
hung them with the cloth on the in
side. Just then a neighbor came
along and turned in to the steps.
After looking at the doors for half a
minute in great astonishment, he
queried
Something Just from Paris,
Bowser ?"
"What do you mean ?'
"Why you've got n new idea in
screen doors. suppose the space
at the bottom is for bugs, that at
the top for mosquitoes, and the
center for flies. see You have left
the frame exposed. They will make
capital roosting places for horse
flies and pinch-bugs. Did you do
this job ?"
"Y-yes."
"Well if had a girl 10 years old
who couldn't beat it, I'd make her
go barefoot all summer"
81 didn't make these doors for
your house, sir"
"Thank heaven for thatl Bowser,
