The house is very beggarly and base
in comparison with our stately play

actors compare with US for apparel,

confirmed by Busino. who has LETT

A LEVEL HEAD.
The Advantage of Presence Of Mind
In an Emergency.

In an Emergency.
During the late strike on the New
York Central Railroad. the militia
were ordered to beinreadiness in case
of a riot, but they were not called out.
In an interview, Gov, Hill said the
troopsWe not to be called upon ex-
cept in case of an emergency. The
emergency had not arisen, therefore
they would not be ordered out. He
remarked that this was the first
great strike with which he had had
experience, and he did not propose
TO lose his head; the only point at
which there had then been serious
trouble was at Syracuse, and there
a deputy- sheriff had lost his head and
precipitated an encounter.
The strike continued several weeks
and there was riotous action at
various points along the road, but
the civil authorities were able to
cope with it without calling on the
militia.
The test of a mans real ability
comes when an emergency arises
which makes ahasty call on his good
Judgment and discretion. The man
who retains his presence OF mind,
maintains hisepuipoise and exercises
sound discretion at such critical
junctures, is to be relied on and will
be put to the front.
Men with level heads have the stay
ing qualities which do not ialter in
the face of danger. Otis A. Cole, of
Kinsman, O., June 10, 1890, writes:
Sin the fall of 1888 I was feeling
very i'll. Iconsulted doctor and he
said | had Bright's disease OF the
kidneys and that he would not
stand in my shoes for the state
of Ohio" But he did not lose cour-
age or give up; he says: Il saw the
testimonial of Mr.. John Coleman,
100 Gregory St., New Haven, Conn,
and | wrote to him. In due time
received an answer, stating that the
testimonial that he gave was genu-
inc and not overdrawn in any par
ticular. I took a good many bot
ties of Warmers Safe Cure; have not
taken any for one year."
Gov. Hill is accounted a very sue
cessful man; he is cool and calculat-
ing and belongs to the class that do
not lose their heads when emergen-
cies arise.

Edinburg it was there thatsheliyed.
He thought Of her even to the exclu-
sion OF the simplest means ofreach-
ing her, and was content to walk
about the streets ina state OF happy
dream; and about his dream Of her
face were interviewer dreams Of glad,
green fields, murmuring brooks, and
lmelodious woodland; for he pictured
her as some.fair and vague embodi-
ment offspring; some pale phantom
clad in white draperies of morning
something, seen in the heaving haze
|-evanescent; on the borders Of the
mere. This dream foated even as
the haze; and full Of it, he wandered
seeking the country instinctively.
By nightfall he had wandered long
way through the many struggling
villages that hang like children
round the skirts Of London. He was
passing through one Of these when,
fatigue pressing upon hin, he turned
into the bar OF an inn and asked for
some bread and cheese.
Tome a long way, govenor?" ask
ed one Of two rough fellows.
II am going a long way" replied
Dumpty. 4 am going north-very
far north"
"And what may yer be going north
for, if may make bold to ask?''
Il am going to the lady Hove, and
| am taking her beautiful presents OF
jewelry."
The two rough fellows exchanged
glances, and it is easy to imagine
how Dumpty was induced to let them
have his diamonds, so that inquiries
| might be made of a friend round. the
corner regarding their real value.
Having, waited little while, Dllmpty
paid for his bread and cheese, and
went in search Of the thieves. But
/. soon the imagined face of Henrietta
Brown came between him and all
earthly things, obIiterating all re-
memberance of thieves and dia-
monds. and in it's bright influence
he wandered for few days, living on
very little, sustained by his dream
and the crusts that his appearance
drew from the pitiful; for now all his
money had been spent or stolen, and
he slept in the hay.racks that chance
| afforded. And SO he went until the
first week of his quest drew to its
close. But as bodily strength grew
feeler the vision grew more beautiful
; and emphatic, until at last he even
neglected to ask for q crust, and
wandered foodless from sunrise to
sundown. Yes, it was a soft sum
mer's night when Dumpty lay down
for the last time, and the heavens
were filled with glorious stars.
| Dumpty had continued walking all
that day; but now a great WEAKNESS
had come upon him, and he had
;; thrown himself upon some hay that
was lying near the roadside. He lay
there looking at the glorious stars,
dreaming OF her, feeling all sense of
things slipping from him, and in
their place, a divine oblivion en-
| wrapping him, bringing her closer,
revealing her more intimately to him;
and as the ecstacy OF death deepened
and thickened about him, and when
he opened his eyes for the last time,
it seemed to this poor vagrant that
one OF the stars came out Of heaven,
and laid it's silver face upon his
sho ulder.-St. James Gazette.

change in which Dumpty was con-
cerned would be like challenging the
wisdom of Providence Dumpty had
viewed with unalterable calm the
various d ynasties that had come and
gone Through tho swing-doors and
had ruled in the back room. What
did it matter to him? There was his
desk by the dina window; there wore
his pens: there was his pen-wiper;
there was the ruler; there was the
blotting-pad. Du1npty was always
the first to arrive and the last to
leave. Only once in his thirty years
of service had he voluntarily accept
ed q holiday, and when asked how
he had spent his holiday he an

it came; then he grew aware that it
proceeded from the bundle Of checks

But that night, just as he was fall

insinuating perfume returned to him.
He wondered whose check it was land

the succeeding weeks he paused as he
was making entries in the ledger to

Two men died while sitting in their
pews during divine service in Brook.
iyn, New York, last Sunday. Both
men were upright christian gentle.
men and it is said both were prepared
to go on that last long journey. There
was some hing beau iful in such a
death, sudden as it was aud hard as it
was for those who loved them. There
was nearness to God, and somehow
heaven must have seemed nearer In
the last conscious moment than when
death comes in the ordinary way.
There was the music ofthe organ in their
ears, there was the peace which His
presence brings, there was the plead
ing voice of the minister as he told
the 'old old story" there was the
familiar faces Of those who had wor-
shipped there for many years, and
there were the vacant places which
told that "just beyond the flowing
tide" friend and neighbOr and "dear
own kin" waited and watched for the
coming of those who had been left
behind. Aye, and perchance there
was the sound Of such songs as Near
er my God to Thee" and "Rsck of
Age" ringing in their ears and per-
ch .nce, too, there was the throb of
these same inspiring strains in their
hearts and with songs on their lips
they went home, as those 60 who
know that their welcome has been
rounded and rhythmed by God Him
self.

Woman suffrage is not a growing
power in Massachusetts. In that
slate the women have the privilege OF
voting for members of the school
beard. 10 Boston in 1888 over twenty
thousand women registered to vote
under the provisions of that law.
Last year only ten thousand were thus
registered, and this year the number
fell to eight thousand. Those who
have declared that women do not
care to exercise the privilege of the
suffrage have a strong argument in
support of their views in this Boston
record.

Stanley declares that his letter tc

ance concerning the rear guard
trouble. Let us hope that that will
prove to be true. We have supped
our fill Of horrors regarding the rear
guard, and no more evidence is need
ed for the civilized world to make UP
its conclusive judgment concerning
the affair. The case against the
officers o. that detachment, as origin
ally set forth. has been proved, and
that is the end of it. The sooner il
is all forgotten the batter will it be
for everybody concerned. Stanley's
defense of Englishmen as explorers,
which is the main part of this letter,
was scarcely needed. The weakness
and the cruelty of the officers who
have been condemned in this instance
pertained to them alone as individu-
ais, aud should in nowise discredit
others who may be more capable and
more self-poised than they showed
themselve. to be.
