Human Sympathy.

Anon, in Boston Traveller.l
Sometimes when one kneels on lonely night
And cries 20 Godp'-and then is dumb for
tears
That leap up, choking, do you think He hears 2
Do you think He understands Alright
What would be plead by those lips dumb and
white?
Do you think He hears the sobs that leap
From that worn bosom even after sleep
Has closed. the eyes with pressure kind and
light?
Ahl often have knelt in midnights vast,
And cried 20 God"-no other word could
speak,
But knelt in dumb despair, until at last
felt His peace in sweet tears on nv cheek.
Oh. poor heart! think of me that bitter day
When you must kneel alone, too sad to pray.

GAMES OF CONFIDENCE MEN.

They Sometimes Purchase Farms From
Unsuspecting Farmers.
One of the slickest games ever worked BY
confidence men is that of buying farm,
says the New York Sun. One Of q pair
looks over the country until he finds the
man he is after, and he then buys the farm
at the farmers own price, paying from $50
to 5000 down to bind the bargain. Before
the papers can be made out confederate
comes along, falls in. love with the same
farm, and offers the farmer 81, 900 more than
the other did. Re agriculturist sees
speculation here, i he buys the first pur-
chaser of with big bonus. Then both
men drop out Of sight and the farmer learns
something new. &

Sailed on liver of misty light
Into . sea of dew.

That live IN the beautiful sea;
Nets of silver and gold have we,

Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes,
And Nod is a little head,
And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies
Is a wee ones trundle bed
So shut your eyes. while mother sings
Of wonderful sights that be,
And you shall see the beautiful things
As you rock on the misty sea.
Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen three

Austin Dobson to W. e., in December Century.
But once or twice we met touched hands.
To-day between US both expands
A waste OF tumbling waters wide,
A waste by me as yet untried
Vague with the doubt of unknown lands,
Time, like despot, speeds his sands;
A year he blots, a day he brands;
We walked, we talked by Thamis side
But once or twice.
What makes friendf What filmy strands
Are these that turn to iron bandsf
What knot is this SO firmly tied
That naught but fate can now dividsf-
All, these are things one understands
But once or twice.

Agnes Marie Mulholland, in Philadelphia Ledger.
An owlet into a garden flew,
And perched high over the gate;
A maiden roamed mid the flowers and dew,
Although it was late and lonely too,
Alas, she knew!
She warbled a ditty so sweet and clear.
She sang: ITO thee my heart is true:"
And the owl leaned over. the better to hear,
And murmured discreetIy: ITO whoo, my dearl
To whoo-to whoo?'
Then the maiden sh hrieked, as maidens will,
And in trembling haste withdrew;
But the owlet sta red and smiled in his bill,
And said very blandly-hes saying it still

Only Woman.
Anon, in Belford's Magazine for December.1
"Only womanl In the old days
Hope carolled to her her happiest lays;
Somebody missed her,
Somebody kissed her,
Somebody crowned her with praise;
Somebody faced up the battles of life,
Strong for her sake who was mother or wife. "

Cruelty to Horses.

The statute of Virginia providing
penalty for the cruel treatment of horses
is section 1896 of the Code OF 1887, and is
in this simple language:
eff any person cruelty beat or torture
any horse or other beast, whether his
own or that of another, he shall be fined
not exceeding fifty dollars
This statute may be enforced by any
magistrate or by any police Justice
Two colored boys, well known as old
offenders by the Staunton police. were
arraigned before Mayor Fultz last Fri
day week on charge of having sto-
len box containing about 800 tickets
of the New York Theatre Company
They were Albert Mcdonald, aged about
fourteen years, and Bud Carter, aged
about twelve. Convicting evidence
against them had been obtained by
Captain Waters, and they were SEN
fenced to six months confinement in
jail. When the loss of the tickets was
discovered, the theatre company pro
cured an entirely different lot of tickets
for the Friday night performance, and
from colored boys that came to the OPP
era House with tickets of the stolen
kind. the theft was traced to the boys
convicted. About half dozen young
terms in Jail. Other boys that are dis
posed to follow their evil ways had bet
ter take warning from their punishment.
The city police, not with ill will towards
the boys, but with fidelity to their duty
as public guardians of property, are
watching sharply for chances to convict
young persons addicted to stealing.

New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1890-01-29

Why newspaper men editors we
mean, who talk repeatedly of freedom
and who glory so much in independ-
ence = should have any desire to retire
from their profession to accept an ap.
pointive government Office, in which
there is but little pay and no end of
fawning and responsible service, is more
than we can understand. The public
servant is hardly ever an enviable per-
sonage, and it seems really queer that
our ''monlders of public opinion should
prefer a cringing subserviency to the
party leaders to the liberty to write them
up in singing editorials. But such is
tie hankering after fame.

The Winona Republican says that the
state fair is only 'slocal show for the
Twin Cities.'' Now this is going too
far, and exactly the same thing mi ght
be said of every fair - that it was a 10.
cal boom for the town in which it was
held. But that's mistake. The state
fair is what we make it. We can cause
it to be local affair or matter of con-
Germ for the whole state, as we choose,
and it should be the work of such papers
as the Republican to help to increase
instead of detract from the interest ia
ken in the exhibit. ...

One hundred delegates, connected
with the non-partisan W. G. L. u, met
in convention at Cleveland, Ohio, last
week for the purpose of organizing a
national union. These delegates are
from all parts of the country and their
assembling in such numbers means
something. If nothing else, it indicates
that the non-partisan idea is growing,
while the belief in third partyism is be-
coming relatively less. ~.

The proclamation, opening the Sioux

to have been issued last week, is still
forthcoming, and it may be two or three
months yet before it is signed. 1t is to

cumstance will prove to be the case, for
at this season of the year it would be
doing the settlers huge injustice to
open lands that they could not enter

chance to enrich themselves by every
advantage. The president should know
better than to do that.
