An Interrupted Prayer.

Some seventy years ago, when a
menagerie was almost thing I'M
known, and a solitary wild beast Was
now and then carried about the coun-
try for exhibition, says the Wide
Awake, a certain New England vii
lage was thrown into great commo-
ton by the news that an elephant
was to be exhibited in neighboring
town. The village which is the scene
OF my story was not large enough to
induce his exhibitors to make any
stay there, but his road lay through
it. Now an elephant could not be
packed away or in any manner be
kept out of sight. His journey must
be made in full view, and everybody
could get look at him, and every
body was excited accordingly. Day
after day passed-no elephant. The
exhibition had been advertised for
Monday, and Saturday night had
come, with no tidings of the famous
traveller. Sunday morning! The
SOullu OF Gne cnurcn-SOlnS Dell sum-
moned the people. Parson Adams
had begun "the long prayer" and the
congregation stood, devoutly atten-.
tive, to all appearance But there
was at least one exception, for Dr.:
Dobson's pew, near an open window,
commanded a view of the highway,
and DR.. Dobson's eyes, wide open,
were fixed upon the prospect. 4
cloud Of dust arose-then- slowly
above the hill opposite the window
the head Of the huge beast came into
sight. The eager doctor forgot tirns
and place, and. shouting, 'aThe ele-
plants coming! there he.is" he was
out of the window like a dart. Off
rushed the congregation, and whether
Parson Adams finished his prayer
tradition has not told.

AMONG THE DAISIES.

~ Il = ( 4 , (
Lay her down among the daisies,
18th the fringes on her eyes,
Softer than their silver pet als,
Closed for blissful reveries
Fold her little hands in Wilderness
AS in prayer upon her breast;
Fear not for their folded lightness
On the heart unmoving pressed,
For that heart of angel brightness,
Tired 80 early. lies at rest.
Tired SO earlyl-when the dawning
Glimmered white winged through the room
And the skies were half awakening,
Half in fading starlit gloom,
From the heaven of the starlight
Came the angels of the dawn;
And the mornings winds are signing,
And the curtain eastward drawn,
And her sleeping face looked brighter,
And q whispering sob said-sGonel''
All the daisies were unfolding
In the fields where nevermore
Shall the rapture of her child life
Run in and shout and laughter DER.
Tired so early!-she has gathered
ALI her gladness in swift space,
She has sung her song and ended,
child like turning pleading face
Back to home where joys are weary
Toward the one familiar place.
Lay her low am ong the daisies;
Angels know her more an we;
They have led her home from wandering,
Tired with earthly revelry,
And above her dashed pillow
Let her simple tale be told;
Here the lover of the lilies
Bade little blossom fold;
He that wakes the flowers shall wake her,
White as snow with heart Of gold.

Arriving at Conclusions.

The doctors have talked so much
about heart failure that now when a
man has pain he sits down and
waits for his heart to fail. Nervous
people, although in comparatively
good health, awake at morning sur
prised to find that their hearts did
not make an assignment during the
night.
Old Jerry Budd, coroner ola re-
mote county in Texas, had so much
trouble in determining diseases that
HE fell into the habit Of saying heart
failure, it mattered not what sort of
disease or accident took the victim
off. One day a man was found dead
in the road, with bullet hole
through his body. Jerry summoned
. a Jury and, after holding an Inquest.
, decided that the man had died Of
heart failure.
eyes" said one of the jurymen,
but what's the matter with this
bullet hole??'
aOh, that bullet hole is all right.
He might havelived on little longer
if some fellow hadn't shot him, but
his heart would have failed sooner or
later"
Several days afterWard a man was
found hanging from a tree. Jerry
decided that heart failure was the
cause.

Senator Ingalls, Desk.

Senator Ingalls, studied law in
Massachusetts, and as soon as he
was admitted to the bar started to
Kansas with $40 in his inside pocket.
He opened an office near Atchison.
His law library was made up ofthree
books, and the whole of his furniture
was a chair and table. His first
client was a carpenter, and his fee
was paid in kind. He got g. table and
a high desk for his legal services, and
this desk painted green is kept in the
Ingalls, family to-day as one OF it's
most precious pieces of furniture. 1t

who carried it with him to college
and who probably now uses it as a

In Shakespeare's Time.

In the time of Shakespeare domess
tic service was in state of transi-
ton; the old system was decaying
the new one springing into life; and
if one may be allowed to judge from
casual references scattered through
out the plays OF the poet, the new
order does not appear to have been
altogether satisfactory. In "King
Lear'-to take one example Kent
denounces Oswald, the steward, as a
"knave, a rascal, an eater of broken
meats: a base, proud, shallow, beg
carly, three-suited, hundred pound,
notwithstanding knave!'' From
Shakespeare's plays it further APP
pears that the servants of the period
were companions and contidants OF
their master, and that they were
generally sly and pilfering and play
ers of practical jokes. In great fami-
lies it was customary for servants to
take an oath of fidelity on their en-
trance into office. Posthumus al
ludes to the usage when he says OF
Imogene's servants:
'Her attend ants are
..,.. All sworn and honorable
The condition of servants at this
period was therefore peculiar, and it
is clear that they were ruled by a
curious mixture of stern discipline
and great laxity. One mode of en-
forcing obedience was by imposing
forfeits or fines, some of which are
enumerated by Sir ]. Harrington in
his "Nuga Antique. For being
absent from prayers, for uttering an
oath, for leaving a door open, or
'sfor any follower visiting the cook, y
fine was inflicted, while in another
set of rules it is provided that
sit any one this rule doth break,
And cut more bread than he can eat,
Shall to the box one penny pay
In case an offender should refuse to
pay "direct without resistance" pro.
vision is made at the conclusion that
Each one here shall be assistance
And he that doth refuse to aid,
By him one penny shall be paid"

Decline of the Shellbark,

Not many eastern people, unless
they are acquainted with the forests
OF the Mississippi valley, and more
especially those found on the higher
Allegheny mountains, know what a
really large hickory tree is. The
shellbarks of Southern Indiana are
sometimes $50 feet tall, with trunks
four or five feet in diameter, and|bare
of limbs for seventy or eighty feet,
and even larger trees can be found in
the still almost untouched forests of
eastern Tennessee and western North
Carolina. But those large trees are
doomed, and before many years have
passed every hickory tree Insufficient
size and proper quality will have
been sacrificed to supply the ever in
creasing demand for the wood.

The loyereould only express his
emotion Of gratitude by a tender
pressure of the hand as they strolled
back.and once, more, mingled with
the gay company:
The next morning Susan informed
her aunt Mrs. Gladstone, that she
and Harry j oy were. to- be married
at the expira ton of a. month, and
preparations for the approaching
nuptials- were immediately set on
foot.
Everything was in readiness when
the time arrived, and a very costly
and sensational display was the legi-
innate result of Mrs. Gladstone's
clever management.
Agreeably to, the promise given
him before marriage, Mrs. Jov sur
rendered all her property into her
husbands hands, and he Immediate
ly set pfor himself in a Limited way
in the same line OF business as the
Floyds.
AS Susan had prophesied before
their marriage, his business grew.
and in it's growth proved a healthy
and. profitable one. I'm five years
Susan's $4,000 had multiplied to
$4,000, and; Harry Joy was begin
ing to be- spoken of as one of the
heavy men, OF Springvale.
But during that; five years a great
change had. come over the fortunes
OF Arthur Floyd.
His father had died leaving him in
tull control Of his extensive business.
For a while things seemed to go on
as smoothly as ever with Arthur,
though prudent people observed
that he'was becoming daily more
fond of the wine cup and the disre-
putable company of fast men and
professional gamblers. He left his
business go at loose ends, trusting
to the integrity of the statesmen he
employed. and they robbed him. He
spent much OF his time in the city
and a rumor reached Springvale one
day that he had lost $4,000 at faro
in one night-nearly twice the amount
of money that Harry Joy had
had to commence business upon.
From this time Arthur Floyd be-
came more reckless and dissipated
than ever, and cautious people be-
gan to whisper OF impending bank
ruptcy. An officer from the city ar
rived one day and closed down upon
everything.
The next morning after that ruin
Gus, but to some extent unexpected
failure, Arthur Floyd was found sus-
pended by the neck to a great beam
in his own barn, and quite dead when
discovered. Susan Joy had Just re-
ceived a call from her aunt, Mrs.
Gladstone, when the sad news Of the
suicide reached them.
Where should have been now had
l accepted the pearls?" was all that
Susan said.
Indeed, deary, you were wiser
than | after ALL" confessed Mrs.
Gladstone, with a sigh.-M S. in New
York News.

From the Binghamton Leader.
The clerks in a local dry goods
store tell an amusing story of a
young fellow from the country who
WAS employed by the firm not long
since, and who was deputed to assist
at the flannel counter. A young lady
dropped il and approached him with
a beaming smile, remarking: 81

as she remarked the look of horror
that overspread the features of the

estab lishment was that he had APP
prenticed himself TO a barber shop.

ADRAwB.oK OF PROSPERITY.

Captain McClelland's idea, as stated in
our Chicago special, that Pennsylvania i.
too prosperous to be melted to make good
showing of her industries at the World s
Fair, is paradox that has a good deal Of
truth to it.
There is much foundation for the state
ment in the record of the past; but there is
reason to hope that this end of the State, at
least, has progressed beyond that condition.
Pittsburg is learning that there is no per-
fection of prosperity that cannot be en-
HANGED by placing her products before the
world; and she is also in fair way to per-
ceive the equally important truth that there
is no better safeguard against depression
than the improvement of every opportunity
TO widen her markets.
We hope that Captain McClelland will
turn out to be a false prophet in this re-
spect There is little doubt that his pur-
pose in making this statement public is to
incite our manufacturers to make an ex-
hibit which shall disproye his forecast.

ALIEN AND DOMESTIC LANDLORDS.

The report by the House Judiciary Com
mittee, of bill to prohibit aliens from &C.
quirlng title to lands within the United
States is intended to prevent the building
up OF great estates under the control of
foreign landlords. The object is good one,
and while the bill may be criticized in some
of its details, and may raise interesting
questions as to the division of State and
Federal authority, the main criticism to be
offered to it is that it does not cover the
whole ground.
That is made apparent when we consider
that while absentee ownership by aliens is
bad, absentee ownership by citizens of the
United States and by domestic corporations
will produce exactly the same evils. 1t
cannot make much difference to the people
who live on and cultivate some great estate
in Dakota or Colorado, whether they are
subject to foreign landlord, New York
millionaire, or great corporation. Either
condition of things would be utterly an
tagonistic to the settled policy of the nation
in seeking to place the lands in the
actual ownership of small cultivators.
The danger of one is fully as imminent as
the danger of the others; and unless the
United States is to abandon its principle of
democracy in the ownership of landed
wealth, it should direct its legislation as
urgently against the evils of domestic land
lordism as of foreign ownership.
Beyond that there is every indu cement to
so shape legislation as to discourage the
maintenance of great estates, that have, by
our past mistakes. been permitted to spring
up. While this cannot be done by any
abrogation of titles, an intelligent system of
taxation and legislation on the transfers
and transmission of real estate. could effect
the division of all these large landed estates
less than two generations.
