A Pitiful Story.

IL is pitiful that in great, rich city like
New York there are people-Aonest people
people willing to work-to whom no avenues
for earning their daily bread are open, and
who either starve TO death or, in despair,
commit suicide There are many tragedies
in every large city of which the public
never hears and some OF the ssddest of them
are among those who have tried earnestly
to earn living and failed
On Thursday, in New York. there came
to light one of the most pitiful cases of
misery, poverty and despair that has oc-
CURED in that city for many day. A
young musical composer and poet, who had
graduated from a German university with
honor, finding it impossible to make liv-
ing for himself, wife and child, decided
that death was preferable to starvation.
His wife, who had been a governess in
Europe, and who was above the average in
intelligence and refinement, agreed with
him. Clasping her babe in her arms she,
with her husband, went to the river, and
together they sought forgetfulness in its
dark and murky waters.
Early Thursday morning the young wife,
with her babe so tightly clasped in her
arms chat it was with difficulty removed,
was found floating near one of the piers.
The husbands body had become separate
from those of his wife and child, and was
probably recovered later.
The young husband left letter to the
pastor of the church of which he and his
wife were members. 1t recounted their
struggle for existence since their arrival in
this country year ago 1t was a sad letter,
and told of an experience in trying to win
bread that is perhaps that of hundreds in
the great cities.
There are sufferings, trials and TRACE
dies in the shadows of the churches,
in sight of the palaces of the rich, and
within call of the homes of those who
are well-to-do, of which nothing is known,
and the existence of which is not even sus-
pected. 1t seems strange that where there
is SO much wealth, and so much that is
wasted, there should be people-strong aud
healthy people-wno are unable to earn a
living.

That Cape Nav Cottage.

The Harrisons, it seems, are tired of their
cottage at Cape May Point, and have
arranged to go to an Allegheny mountain
resort, where the use of cottage has been
offered them. They have not found the
comfort and pleasure at Cape May Point
which they expected aud which was
promised them. The mosquitoes have an
noyed them at night, and the people have
annoyed them during the day by insisting
upon kissing Baby Mckee. They will,
therefore, seek q secluded mountain resort
where they will not be troubled by
mosquitoes and where Baby Mckee will
have a rest from men and women who
think there is no satisfaction in life like
that of kissing the grandson of President.
The President has probably discovered
that in permitting his wife to accept cot
tage at Cape May Point as a gift he made
great mistake. The gift was, of course,
really to himself, and President should
never accept valuable gifts, because the
donors expect favors of greater value than
those they confer.
1t is quite generally believed that
these who made the President a
present of the cottage at Cape May Point
did so for the express purpose of booming
town lots at that place. Immediately after
the President accepted the cottage immense
advertisements appeared in the Philadelphia
newspapers relative to the advantages of
Cape May Point as seaside summer resort.
The fact was conspicuously mentioned that
the President had determined to make it
his summer home. The town boomers en-
deavored to create the impression that the
place was going Co be the summer capital of
the nation.
No sooner had the town boomers begun to
use the President as an advertisement tina n
the vendors of soap. patent medicines. easy
chairs and various other articles attempted
to do the same thing. 1t is not to be won
dered at, therefore, that the Presidents
family has found Cape May Point uuen-
durable, and have decided to leave it. If
the President had been wise he would not
have accepted a cottage at that or any
other place He would have understood
that such u gift would lower him in
the estimation of the people and would be
the source of great annoyance to him. He
could not now do a more sensible thing than
TO return the cottage to those who gave it
to him.

Honor and Gratitude.

Seeing Bishop Potter and Col. Higginson to-
gether on the Sanders theater platform Thurs
day, both wearing the pink and the blue rib.
bons which Phi Beta Kappa men so highly
prize, the ''penciller" was reminded of a story
which the bishop loves to tell as an illustration
OF Col. Higginson's practical experience of
politics, says the Summerville Journal. When
Col HiggnSon was running for congress two
years ago, the bishop says, a friend of his a
gentleman living in Cambridge, visited the polls
election day to see how the colored vote was
going. In one of the ward rooms he met q
colored man who had formerly been in his en-
ploy, and going up to him he asked:
Well George, who is your favorite candi-
date today"
The colored brother named the man for whom
he was going 20 vote, and, to the grief of his
former employer, it was not the name of Col.
Higginson that he gave.
You don't mean to say, George" said the
colonels friend, that you are going to vote
that way! Why, should think that your sense
of honor and of gratitude would lead you to
cast your ballot for a man who has done so
much as Col Higginson has for you and for all
the people of your race"
But the colored brother had different IDEAS
Il should tink, sab" he replied, dat my
sense OBJ honor and OBJ gratitude would lead me
to vote for de gemman what guy me 81 so dis

To My Baby Louise.


from the Charleston " ora,
There is no flower of loveliest hue,
Wild rose or lily laden with dew
Nor brightest bloom of the wild wood bowers
Like thy baby face, that is brighter than
flowers.
And we never shall see on a sweet summers
day,
AS sunshine and shadow pass on their way,
A lovelier light than the golden curl
That crowns thy face, my baby girl
There comes no sound DER the summer sea
From the far-off isles of my dreams to me,
Nor even the carol of wild song bird,
That is half 80 sweet as the voice I've heard
There is no star on the bosom of night
That sheds so soft and so pure a light
As the smile that CLEANS in thy sweet, dark
eyes,
Where the soul of love and beauty lies.
Dear child, may no shadow pass thy way;
May sunshine and gladness make up thy day,
Aud lovelier still may the woman be
That has brought such a blessing of love to me.
