THE HARVEST.

Tho farmer reaps in harvest-day
From seed not saved, but thrown away;
From fields though rich. yet II not sown,
Was never yet harvest grown.
They who in spring-time seed withhold
Because OF drought. or heat, or cold,
For them In summertime appear
No blade nor stalk, much less the ear.
IT'S he who sows with lavish hand
The seed which he has at command,
In open field. or little nook,
Or corners which some overlook,
And rot withholds the precious seed,
Who plenty has In time OF need
To him who sows in early spring
The summer will its harvest bring.
80 he who early make.h haste
To cultivate the moral waste,
Or cast abroad In open field
The seed which better harvests yield.
Shall nothing lose, but rather gain,
And gather in abundant grain;
While who withholdeth more than meet
In harvest begs with naught to eat.
The little hooks, where seed Is sown,
And corners, II not fields We own,
Will yield their harvest rich and fair
Asopen fields where reapers are;
And cleaners, who the sickle WELD,
Clean hooks and corners of the field,
And who abroad their seed have cast,
Shall share the harvest at the last.
In sowing seed. what's lost we save,
And best OF gain is what We gave;
It's only seed we've stored away
Increaseth not for harvest-day.
Not what we have, but what we give;
What we impart not we receive;
Not what We shirk, but undertake,
The record Of our life will make.
The seed which we cast in the ground,
When harvest comes, again is found
While what we saved at greatest cost,
In harvest-time we'll count as lost.
God gives us fields in which to SOW,
And he will make the harvest grow;
And you're enriched in harvest-day
Not as you saved, but gave away.

''fhere is a great deal said from time to

Der of friends, but l am convinced that l

for the first time. He is in the employ of
the Government and he and the two light
house keepers make up the entire pOpula-
tiUn during the greater part of the year.
The mule is well fed and his principal &C.
cupaton is to loaf around on the rocks and
sun himself, always managing to keep fat
Twice a year only is he expected to work,
and this combined with his natural ten
dency to take things easy has caused him to
grow lazy. The only labor which he is ex-
pected to perform is on the occasion of the
visits of the lighthouse tender, when he is
harnessed up and made to do service in
running through a pulley. Even this,
however, has become repugnant TO him and
he has grown rebelli0us.
Years have familiarized him with the
lighthouse tenders whistle and now when
ever he hears it approaching he recognizes
il in an instant Immediately he takes to
his heels and hides among the rocks, often
evading all efforts to find him, and thus
avoids performing the distasteful task"

NJ. B. Curtis, now preparing for the pro-
duction of ''The Shatchen" at the Bush

the Importance. He is a sanguine fellow,
and therefore feels quite sure his Hebrew
commissonaire will be a success.

it is that L am getting too old to 60 any

in his wOnted way and sighed as the heated
air trifed with his whitened locks.

THEIR REST BROKEN.
Remains of Argonauts Removed From
MIssinn Dninres.

Remains of Argonauts Removed From
Mission Dolores.
Owing to the widening of the street at
the old Mission Cemetery, adjoining Mission
Dolores Church. about twenty-five feet of
the churchyard is being removed. Quite a
large number of graves have already been
opened and the whitened bones remaining
transferred to boxes for removal to Holy
Cross Cemetery, San Mateo County. The
ground surrounding is strewn with these
receptacles, which contain the dust of many
of the first Argonauts who came to Caifor-
MIA III early days in search of the Golden
Fleece.
Two tiny baskets, into which had long
ago been laid the remains of infants, were
eXhumed from plat where it is supposed
eight bodies are lying. Though the caSkets
were in good state of preservation, only a
few dried and shapeless bones were found
inside. No trace of the other six bodies
could be found by the workmen. In other
places the collins had crumbled into dust
while the human remains were still there,
masses of CHASTITY bones.
Among the remains which will be re-
moved are those of Thomas Murray. a vol
uuteer fireman, who was killed on the cor
ner OF Pine and Kearny streets during a
fire on the night of January q, 1886. The
bones OF James 7. Casey, who was hanged
in 1896 by the VigilanteS for murder, will
also be disturbed.

The strauss Opera Comlque.

Notwithstanding the title of Johann
Strauss opera, there is nothing blue about
it either in the libretto or music; and ow-
ing 10 this fact Indigo" fills the Tivoli
with a delighted audience every night. The
piece has the advantage of very good cast,
particularly as regards the eccentric COM
edy. MI. Fred Urban assumes the char
acter Of the wood-cutter, Ali Baba, and
with the assistance of the donkey trans
ferred from the Children's Playground at
tine park, makes the part ripe with fun. An
other candidate for popular favor as an &C.
centric comedian is Mr.. Charles Wayne.
He will, no doubt, get the good opinion he
seeks, as he keeps things very much alive
when he is before the footlights. With
pretty women, fine scenery and Strauss
music, business at the Tivoli presents an
agreeable contrast to

Wiimnrk,s Nrw Song.

One of the songs that Julius Witmark is
singing this week at the New Bush-street
Theater in "a Pair of Jacks" is by Arthur
West of London. England. and was written
especially for the young man. 1t is en-
titled "He Was Pal of Nine" and is an
artistically worded and sympathetic pro-
duction. The amount OF expression, the
deep feeling, together with the beauty of
voice that young Witmark puts into it,
make the song one of the pleasantest parts
of the evenings performance. There was
a song with this title before the London
public some years ago, brought out at one
of the music halls and intended for skit
on the free-and-easy life the Prince of
Wales was said TO lead about that time.

WAYS OF THE WIDOWS.


One of Them Proposes.
AdOlph PERFORMER, French cloak
maker at $50 Market street is in deep
trouble, and all on account of widow of
whom he had been enaDored. She is Mrs.
Sophia Kohen, a sister of Max BlumeD thai,
the liquor MERCHANT.
Quite recently PerbOnnier was arrested
on a charge OF petty larceny, he says, at the
instance OF Blumenthal. The case was tried
and dismissed, and now PERFORMER has en-
tered suit against his accuser for $1,000 dam
ages for false imprisonment.
Yesterday PERFORMER was taken into
custody on the same charge, his accuser
this time being Mrs. KOheD, who says he
stole her watch and chain. He claims that
she had asked him to marry her, and he had
consented provided Mrs. Kohen would ad-
vance $500 to invest in business She de-
clined. Then, TO his mind, an enmity arose
between her brother and himself, and it re-
suited in the arrests, the last one of which
was to prejudice his suit toI damages

This is the last week of Miss Nellie Nc
Henry at the Aleazar, and the close of the
first chapter, also, in the history of that
theater. 1t was an eyesore from the begin
ming, owing to its structural defects, chief
of which was the meager means Of exit in
case fire occurred. Now all this is to be
remedied as the plans OH which the work
men proceed when the house is turned over
to them next week show. There will be
reconstructed stage, better seating accom-
modations, improved ventilation and easier
exit With all its rawbacks, however,
the Alcazar has had more than its share of
public patronage, and it is to be expected
that when the present objections to the
auditorium are removed, as they will be in
about months time, the volume Of bust
ness will be doubled, "My Best Friend,
with which Miss McHenry closes her en-
gagement and the house, has not, by the
