The Back Bay somehow doesn't yield
as much material to the LiSteaer A. 1t does
to some other people, tut here is very
pretty little story from that charming
quarter;
A very little Back Bay boy, who had
occasionally been taken to Trinity church
nv his parents, but who, for all that, had
managed to fall into bad company, and
had been told Of the delights Of ringing
door bells and then >camperiDg set out one
eyenin. on hi> very first expedition OF TINS
Kind. He began on Clarendon street, near
the house where he lives he rang the bell
of one bIg house, and then skipped around
the corner, undetected. Then he tried
another, and another. His success EN-
boldened him, and presently, when he got
to a certain house he was 50 unwary that
almost before he had ceased to pull the bell,
the door opened, and the towering foim Of
the rector Of Trinity stood before him.
The little fellow stood rooted to the spot,
opening wide his big wondering eyes. And
then he found voice to say, very slowly:
Ivy, Phillips Boots Does you live

That Beautiful Land.

dear one has gone 10 that beautiful land
Through the golden gates ajar.
To His heavenly choir he has added voice.
To His jeweled crown a star.
Was she called in haste. this fair Young wife.
Leaving her earth work sndone,
To shield her from Sickness sorrow, and pain
That with future years might come,
I.eaiiDg her two helpless babes behind
To her care and motherove given,
And may the Good Father guide the dear lit-
tie feet.
Till they meet her at last in heaven
And in that land, that beautiful land,
Where endless summers reign,
May he who is bereft OF his home-maker here
Meet her, and know her again
With the one that wasted and went long ago
(liow she gave him her unwearied care,)
On the uplands OF light, together they roam;
Bereased mother, Your dear child is there.
But the pale sweet face, and the sunny hair
From our sight forever are gone.
Aud the willing feet still, that on errand, Of
love
Sped through sunshine and shadow, and
storm.
But We know in that land, that beautiful aud.
Where never is >ilyercd the hair
Where the year, never come, and she will ntN-
er grow old.
An angel of light she is there.

Solomon Would be all at Sea.

Two sailors were lately disputing on
board the steel cruiser Boston respecting
the wisdom of King solomon; after hav-
iny indulged in some original and emphatic
remarks concerning the mighty monarch,
one of them closed his argument As fol
lows: Why, Jack, you may talk till
your tongue drops out of your wooden
head; but I'll tell you what perhaps
neither you nor King Solomon ever knew;
that is, that, blow my eyes, times and
things are so altered on one of these steel
crafts, that if Solomon should come on
board he would not know an electric light

A Nice Little Snake Story.

A big tiger snake and small one
seized on the same mouse; one snake
gripped the head, and the other the tail
end of the rodent. There was no
policy of retraction or Cancellation.
The larger snake simply gobbled or ate
its way EDWARDS, until it came naturally
to the head of the smaller snake. Ex-
tremes meet, and so the big snake
cheerfully worked away until it. had
swallowed its compatriot. In ten min
utes, says the account (the affair oc-
CURED in, the Geological Gardens).
nothing was to be seen of the smaller
snake save two inches of its tail. esThat
the next day." says the ac-
count from which we quote. 1.-THE rest
is silence.'

The eight-year-ol son of Mr.. Jacob
Futter, residing. at the toll-gate on
the Cearfoss pike, the other day went
into a neighboring field to drive
COW home. Without warning the
COW became enraged and, turning
upon its youthful driver, tossed him
against the fence. The lad with pres
ence of mind, crawled close to the
lower rail of the fence, and in this
manner saved himself from the at
tack of the animal. Mrs. Nicho las
Martin heard the cry for help and sum
moned two men who were at work
short distance away, who succeeded
in releasing the boy from his unpleas-
ant position, but not until he had his
cloths nearly stripped from his body
and until the COW had torn off one of
her horns in her efforts to gore him.

Pleasant Affair.
On Saturday evening June eth, Mr..
w. Il. w. Barbe of Parkersburg de-
livered highly entertaining lecture
on Our Tributes 10 Caesar 1t
would be a difficult task TO sketch
the lecture. Our praise could add
nothing to it, We feel that the ap-
lreciation shown by the cultured au-
dience was an evidence that the lee
ture was enjoyed as rare literary
treat. Mr.. Barbe in thanking the
students for their floral offering said
said that if he had made one or more
friends by his sojourn in our commu,
nifty. he felt amply repaid. We can
assure him that he made not only
one. but a host, who will welcome
his return to our town at any future
date. The people of our community
have Prof. Bush TO thank for the
pleasant evenings entertainment.
The Faculty, students, and number
of friends were invited to attend
reception at Mr.. Snyder's. About
go o'clock, the school repaired to
the beautiful home of Mr.. Snyder to
meet the lecturer Of the evening, and
exchange social greetings. As the
boys arrived they we re presented by
Prof Bush to the receiving party
which was composed Of Mr.. and Mrs.
SNYDER and the guest Of the evening.
Mr. Barbe. The young ladies were
presented by Miss Myers.
Each one was greeted by the host
and hostess with a friendly grasp OF
the hand, which made us feel at once
that we were the persons whose pres
ence was really desired. The time
passed very rapidly. The room was
constantly filed with the laughter of
the merry group, while the host never
was more pleasant CHATS saying
great deal than he was on that even
ing.
Several of the young ladies render
ed selections on the piano, which
showed plainly that they could play
without notes. After pleasant hour
in the drawing the company
was invited across the hall. Here
from the preparations it appeared
that our friend remembered that
"bovs will be boys even on such oc-
casions. 1t appeared that even edi-
tors and professors caught the i'm
pulse of the hour and laying aside
their dignity. Al,things have an end
so with this ENJOYABLE occasion. As
the students began to leave, you could
see in their eyes, that when they
shook the hand Of the host, and
thanked him for the pleasant evening,
every word was meant for Kindness.
We cannot thank Mr. Snyder more
than that look and feeling-they were
enough. Most pleasant recollections
will linger in our minds of that even
ing. The commencement of 1890 may
have many pleasant memories, but
bv far the most pleasant will he the
evening we spent with our friend, Mr.
Snyder. y

Meo,.r,nL DAY In Shepherdstown.

Last Saturday was observed d.
Memorial Day in this place. and the
usual exercises attending the strew-
ing with flowers the soldiers graves
were held in Elmwood Cemetery
The day was perfect one so far as
the weather was concerned, shower
the previous evening having laid the
dust and cooled the air. AT 2.3O p. III.
the Camp of Confederate Veterans
formed in front of the College, and,
headed by the Shepherdstown Band
and followed by the speakers in car
riages marched to the cemetery. The
veterans slowly marched around the
plat where the dead soldiers lay, and
then gathered at the monument,
where their memorial services were
held. Returning to the speakers
stand, Col. w. A. Morgan introduced
as President of the day Col. A. X.
Boteler, who made few appropriate
remarks After prayer by Rev. p G.
Edwards, Col Henry Kyd Douglas,
of Hagerstown, made an address,
brief, but full of the Colonies happy
eloouence and manly sentiments. He
was followed by Rev. DR.. A. G. Hop
kins. of Charlestown, who in a serious
and thoughtful manner expressed
some appropriate sentiments appliea-
BILE to such an occasion. The exer-
cises were interspersed with singing
by a selected choir and music by the
band. The floral offerings, as they
are always here on this day, were
very pretty. At the monument there
were several large pieces, and on
every soldiers grave there was
bouquet. A large number of persons
from the town and the country
around were present, and the dignity
and decorum exhibited was in keep
Ing with the occasion. The entire
day was pleasant one, and the
spirit of the occasion seemed to have
impressed itself upon all who partici-
pated in the exercises.

much in praise of the Typographical
and press work of the catalogue. 1t
is full of typographical errors and is
badly printed. The value of cata-

Sept With Their Leader.

The following incident was told by
Colonel Douglas in his address last
Saturday, at the memorial celebra-
ton. The morning after the unveil-
ing of the Lee statue, as the sun rose
over Richmond, its first rays fell upon
row of figures wrapped in gray
blankets and sleeping on the green
grass around the statue of Stonewall
Jackson, in Capitol Square. As the
sun grew brighter and the hustle of
life moved the city, these bright fg-
ures, one by one unrolled, themselves
from their blankets-here a gray
beard, there gray head-got up
yawned and stretched themselves i'll
the morning air. Just then citizen
passing by said to them in kindly
anxiety: Heavens, men. could you
find no other bed i'll Richmond last
night?n Yes" answered one, there
were plenty of places, all Richmond
was open to us, but"-and he turned
his face toward the silent face of his
immortal chief and added, with a
throb in his throat. I'VE were his
BOYS, and we wanted to sleep with
the old man just once more
