Some of the Louisiana law-mak-

attention to their constituents. As to
petitions sent them, whether signed by
100 or 1000, why they amount to
nothing. They are overly arrogant,
and carry out their own views and
ideas-nothing more.

A True Hero.

Let me now give you an instance o
wonderful heroism, rising to meet TIT
demands of sudden crisis.
1t was not an hour after dawn, ye
the great waiting-room of the Centra
Station was full.
The soft morning air blew freshl.
through the long line of caIs and puff
| ing engines. A faint hum comes from
without. 1t was the great city awak
ening for the day. a Scotch collie
belonging to one of the emigrant
groups, went from one to another wag
ging his tail and looking up will
mild and expressive eyes full Of good
naturcd friendly feeling. Childrel
called to him, some students rompeC
with him, the ladies patted his head
a poor negro in the corner shared his
meal with him, and then he seemed t.
unite all these different groups in q
common tie of good feeling. While
all this was going on, a woman was
washing the windows OF some empty
cars drawn OH to the siding, singing as
she rubbed the glass. While her back
was turned her child, little fellow
about three years old ran to the door o!
the car and jumped down on the track.
Upon this track the Eastern Express
was comeing. Directly in its path was
the babe; Il hush Of horror fell upon
the crowd. Every eye turned in the
direction, and then low sob of an.
guish went up from the paralyZed
people. The dog, with head erect, and
fixed eye, saw the danger, and with O
bound and fierce bark darted towards
the child. The baby, frightened, start
ed back. The mother went OH wash
ing windows and singing, as the huge
engine rushed up abreast Of her car.
There was crunching noise a faint
little cry of agony. Even strong men
grew sick at the sound and turned
away.
When they looked again, the baby
was toddling across the platform crow.
ing and laughing, and the crushed
dead body II dog lay OH the track.
"pas<engers for pittsburg, Chicago and
the West. Passengers for Baltimore,
Richmond and the South" SO the cry
went on, and the surging crowd passed
out, never to all to meet again III this
world. But the faces of men and
women were pale, and there were tears
in the eyes of some. The poor negro
and the millionaire, tottering old men
and frolcking boys, had been helped
onward, upward, by the friendly,
cheerful life and heroic death OF q
dumb dog,
Dare we assert that when the limp
body. sacrificed to save the life OF
another, lay on the track, the heroic
spirit that once animated it was
uuenched into utter nothingness =

RIGHTS OF P ROPERTY.-Docter Alb
ernethy was once called into attend a
man who had had somewhat stormy
alteration with his better half, and
found the poor man with his face all
bleeding, and marks with the points
of her finger nails. The worthy doc
tor could not help demonstrating with
the woman upon her conduct. "Ma-
dam," he said, "are you not ashamed
of yourself, treating your husband like
this your husband who is the head of
the house the head of all in fact,
your head, madam ." "Well, DOCTOR"
fiercely returned the virago, sand am

Married Lovers.

1t was little country railroad sta
ton; a white-haired old man and a
woman almost as old drove up to the
door in an antiquated buggy, to which
was attached q horse long past its
youth.
Shabby as were the old MANS turn
out and garments, his bearing toward
his aged wife was courtliness itself.
Don't try to git out O. the buggy
until I hitch old Ned an help ye," he
said as he slowly climbed out.
He stumbled backward and almost
fell when helping the old lady out, 50
that she came to the ground rather
heavily.
"Didn't hurt ye, did it, map" he ask
ed with tender solicitude; II don't
know what made me so clumsy an
keerless.n
Then he brushed the dirt from her
dress with his red cotton handkerchief,
and carefully righted the bonnet that
had become awry during the ride 10 the
station.
"Now you set right here, ma, an
III see to things" he said, as he led her
to a seat in shady corner of Il room
and made it comfortable with the
shawls she carried. When he return
ed he said:
Don't feel any skecry bout goin' of
alone, do We, ma? I've wished hun
dred times 1 could go too. but you
know we can't both leave home Il;
this time o. the year, am | aint skeer-
ed but you'll git along all right. Aa-
ron I'll meet you sure when you gil
there, am don't fail to have him drop
me card right off, letlin' me know
you're all right"
Just before the train arrived he came
over to where | was sitting and asked
me where l was "bound fer"
"For NJ" I replied.
aye don't say" he said glee!ully.
"Well, mebbe then We would not mind
lookin' after my wife little. She's
goin' to M, too; called there sud
dent by the sickness of our daughter
Harriet. She amt never travelled Il
lone none, and I feel real guilty lettin
her start alone now, but it amt so We
can both o. I know it amt but forty
mile, but I'll feel easier to know that
some one'll tell her wher she gifts
there, an help her off the train, meb,
be. She can't see very well, and her
hearin' aint none too good"
I gladly agreed to give the old lady
necessary assistance, and the old gen.
tleman was profuse in his thanks. /
had taken "quite a load off his
mind" he declared.
He kissed his wife goodbye two or
three times when the train came in,
and stood on the station platform wav.
ing his red handkerchief as it moved
away, while the old lady's handker-
chief fluttered from her window in low
ing response until the station was
quite out of SOPHISTICATED.

A Prayer for Peace.

Give us Peace in our time, o Lord,
From the desolating sword,
From the devastating flame
Peace! Peace! in Thy holy name!
Those preachers OF thy Word
Are false TO the trust conferru,
Who defile the temple gate
With the heresies Of hate.
The ewes of the young men glow
AS the wild war trumpets blow,
And the women shout and cry
As they cozen them forth to die
There they 20. the brave and strong
For the right that may be wrong,
To feed the ravenous tomo
With their beauty and their bloom.
From the mountains to the sea
Floats up, O Lord to Thee
To the fooistool OF thy throne
The long, low tremulouS moan
or a chIldless multitude,
Tender, and fair and good;
or mothers forlorn, forlorn,
Bereft of their early born.
And of widows, forlorn as they,
Whose hope, whose prop. whose stay
Lie low in the hasty grave
OF the unreturning brave.
For the sake Of the perishing realms
Which dire passion overwhelms:
For the sake of their outraged laws.
And of Liberty's holy cause,
Send us, oh send us Peace!
Let all guilty carnage cense.
Oh, stay the avenging rod
Peace Peace! o Lord, our God!
