AMERICANS IN EUROPE.
DenationaIized Citizens Who Are a Dis
grace to Our Country.

| Denationalized Citizens Who Are a Dis
grace to Our Country.
II it is true that Americans expend
no less than So, 900, 900 year in England
for rent alone it is quite time some steps
were taken to recall these denationalized
citizens to sense of duty to their own
country. Nearly all this large sum of
money is expend ed for the luxury of
shooting and fishing, but as may be
imagined, it by no means represents the
actual outlay among the prize moors and
streams of Scotland. AS London Jour-
nal suggests, so much money for shoot
ing and fishing seems incredible. but 1t
is also shooting and angling for social
position. We laugh now at this evil
1ence of Anglo-mania, but the laugh
may be turned to bittor tears one of
these days, when it is seen what mis-
chief is wrought by intoxicating no
abiding love of country, no national de-
votion in our children's hearts. This
one phase of selfishness in the Ameri-
| can people is melancholy enough, and,
! though the supine argument is made
that in comparison but few OF our
wealthy families abandon this land of
plenty, the fact remains that they DO
leave it. and spend there American rev.
enues elsewhere, and for what? A So
,ial position. Heaven save the mark!
Thirty thousand Americans live in Lon
Ion. Why they elect to live in that
vast center of the world need not be dis
cussed. The chief part of them ''do
business" there, the residue do pleas
ure," or live to economic their small
means drawn from American sources.
Whether London is delightful place
Of residence is neither here nor there;
shis 10000 are so far denationalized as
to prefer it, and to regret the necessity
Of returning to the United States even
ENTHUSIASTICALLY. What does this
feeling portend? And where will it end
for our country? are questions to ponder
and not to be brushed aside with an An
glomaniac joke.-Boston Herald.

TEMPERANCE NOTES.
"A BARREL OF WHISKY.

A drayman rolled forth from his cart to the
street,
A red headed barrel, well bound and complete;
And on it red letters, like forked tongues of
flame,
Emblazoned the grade, number, quality fame
Ofthis world renowned whisky from somebody's
still
Who arrested the grain on the way to the mill.
So there stood the barrel, delivered, but
Could see that shadow was lowering high
A sulphurous shadow that grew as gazed
To the form of Mephisto. Though sorely
amazed,
Iventured to question this i'm. of the realm
Where vice is the pilot, with crime at the helm,
And asked him politely his mission to name,
And II he was licensed to retail the same
Identical barrel OF whisky, which he
Was fondly surveying with demonish glee.
"Oh never handle the stuff" he replied;
my partners mortal are trusty and tried;
Maybap, peradventure, you might wish to look
At the invoice complete-I will read from this
book;
You will find that this barrel contains some
thing more
Than forty-two gallons Of whisky galore"
And ere could slip but another word in,
He checked it of gayly, this cargo of sin:
"a barrel Of headaches, OF heartaches, of woes
A barrel of curses, barrel Of blows;
A barrel Of tears from world-weary wife,
A barrel Of sorrow, barrel OF strife;
A barrel Of all unavailing regret.
"a barrel of cares, a barrel of debit
barrel of crime, and barrel Of pain.
A barrel of hopes ever blasted and vain;
barrel OF falsehoed, a barrel of cries
That fall from the maniacs lips as he dies.
"a barrel Of poison-of this nearly full;
A barrel of poverty, ruin and blight,
barrel OF terrors that grow with the night,
A barrel OF hunger a barrel of groans.
A barrel of orphans most pitiful means:
A barrel of serpents that hiss as they pass
From the bead on the liquor that CLOVIS in the
glass.
My barrel! my treasure bid thee farewell
Sow We the foul seed: will reap it in hell"
United Presbyterian.

"A stranger who stood on Broadway
Sunday afternoon took occasion to re-
mark upon the floral buttonhole decora-
lions worn by New Workers, says the
Sun. He thought it singular that of
sixty-five boutonnieres he had counted
upon as many individuals there was
only single rose. In Chicago and
Philadelphia, and even Boston, the
white and red rosebud is pre-eminentiy
the favorite. New Workers stick to
pinks, heliotropes and violets, with &C.
casional orchids, but the florists sell
more pinks the year round than any
thing else for this purpose. An eco
pearing jaunty, can make crimson
pink go further than any other flower
on earth.

smoke. "Gentlemen," said the pro-
prietor, severely, you are here to
dance; go back to the ballroom" On
one occasion the weather became very
cold. A distribution of blankets was
made among the full paying guests, and
there were none left for the dancing
young men. They protested against
the treatment, and were loud in their
complaints. "You are here to dance y

Good evening, SIR

farmer.

tance' sal the tramp, "and if you
will permit me I'll sit Il few minutes
on your doorstep
"All right" was the answer.
The two men fell into conversation,
and as the farmer discovered his
guest to be an Intelligent man, their
talk was continued until a late hour.
:Would you mind giving me mug
of cider?" asked the tramp, at
length.
"Not at ALL said the farmer, 81

The cider was procured and dispos-

then came the next request.
'sI've Travelled a good distance to-
day, and should like very much to
lodge with you, if you have no objec-

"All right" answered the farmer,
Il can accommodate you.
Meanwhile the wife, who had long
before retired. and was listening to
the conversation from her bedroom,
called out:
No, you won't; | won't have him
here. Come. husband, it's time for
you to come in and lock up.
Madam said the tramp, serious

The Tiger or the Beach.

~
The octopus, who turks in the
coral reefs or under the lodges, has
only to show himself to make brave
man chill. The fendish perseverance
with which the shark follows ship
day after day melts ones nerve
away There is death in the touch
of the stingaree-destruction in the
fall of whales fukes eternity in
therush of breakers on rocky shore.
But the grimness Of all these is over
Swallowed by the soft purring and
gentle tapping OF the tiger of the
beach-the unseen beast.who gather s
one.
We stand here on the sandy shore,
with the surf only knee high. The
sky is clear, the sun shines brightly.
and there are. 100 people about US.
If one should predict danger he would
be ridiculed. What's that? The sand
suddenly cuts out from under our
feet, feeling as ifsome one had pulled
at a rope we stood on. Was it a
cave? Did some one pull astick away?
No. 1t was the soft, 4ow growing of
the tiger of the beacn-a note of
warning. 1tWas the undertow. It
startled you for a moment, but you
soon forgot it and pushed forward
into the surf. Now you stand Just
right to get the shoulder-breakers as
they roll in, and in the excitement
YOU forget the cruel fangs and sharp
claws waiting for you The shore is
only a few yards away. Men, women
and children are laughing; why
should you fear?
Of a sudden the water deepens.
You push back and jump the roller
laundering in, and now there is no
sand for your feet to touch. The
undertow has been pulling: pushing
and coaXing you on, and now
You can swim. You are startled,
but you see the shore is nigh. You
strike out bravely, but your legs feel
as if weighted down, The vexed
waters beat you and keep you short
OF breath. You exert more strength.
You make grand effort. You are
simply startled at the mysterious
something that has dragged you out.
A-h-h! See his face blanch! See his
wild strokes! Look into his eyes and
see the horror they express! The
undertow is cold-cold as we'll as
merciless. It has pulled him out and
down the coast foot by foot, unit The
suddenly realizes that he is drowned
If men notice that he is far out no
one speaks Of it, If they see him
beating the water they pass it by as
sport. The tiger Of the beach has
crept down among a hundred people
iDopen day to snatch victim, and
he has accomplished it.
Help! Help!"
1t comes to late. The life guards
are too far away Even were they
right here they could not save him.
He has been looking death in the
face for the last two minutes, and he
was unnerved before he cried out.
He cried out because men always do
in their last moments if they die like
this. Terror has blinded him. He
does not see the people running up
and down the beach. Terror has
made him deaf He does not hear
the shouts sent out to make a last
effort. Even as they shout he throws
up his hands, utters a long-drawn
cry Of agony, and the spot where we
last saw his head is now covered
with foam. The tiger has pulled him
DOWN.. 7. Sun.
