PASSING BELL AT sTRATFoRD.

Sweet bells OF Stratford, tolling slow
In summer gloaming's golden glow,
hear and feel thy voice divine,
And all my soul responds to thine.
As now hear thee, even SO
My Shakespeare heard thee long ago,
When lone by Avon's pensive stream
He wandered iii his haunted dream;-
Heard thee, and far his fancy sped
Through spectral caverns of the dead,
And sought-and sought in vain-to pierce
The secret of the universe.
AS now thou mournest didst thou mourn
on that sad day when he was borne
Through the long aisle Of honeyed lines
To rest beneath the chambered chimes.
He heard thee not, nor cared to hear
Another voice was in his ear,
And, freed from all the bonds of men,
He knew the awful secret then.
Sweet bells of Stratford, toll and be
a golden promise unto me
OF that great hour when shall know
The path whereon his footsteps go!

A New Field for Young Men.

The use of monographs and graphophones for
amusement purposes is more extensive in this
than in any other city. Members of Congress,
Government officials, and some of our leading
business men are availing themselves of the
special advantages of these wonderful instru-
ments, hence has sprung up a demand for in
telligent young men who are good English
scholars to dictate, under direction, to the talk
ing machine, and transcribe therefrom neatly
and accurately on the typewriter. profitable
field for night work in this line has been opened.
The Spencerian Business College, the first edu-
cational institution in the world to introduce
the talking machine, trains young men to be-
come skilled amanuenses by its use in connec-
tion with the typewriter.

thing Poor thing did not know her symp-
toms were so distressing as this. Perhaps, Mrs
Doveton, it would be best that you should leave
us alone; your presence might only agitate the
patient"
Saying which, the Rev. II. Briggs concen-
trating all the strength of his will, turned the
handle and entered the room. Mrs. Doveton
closed the door upon him and withdrew up
stairs to await the result.
Five minutes or so elapsed. What passed
within that darkened room it is not for the pro-
fame to inquire, but when the Rev. II. Briggs
reappeared it was evident that he had under
gone some acute mental strain. His face wore
an expression which the most skillful physiogno-
! mist would have been puzzled to analyze, and
his gray eyes flashed with peculiar light as he
advanced toward Mrs Doveton, who, rushing
forward to meet him, exclaimed:
"Oh Mr.. Briggs it is true, then; you have
succeeded-say you have succeededr ~
"Listen to me, Mrs. Doveton,' he answered,
in tone which seemed strangely to subdue her
excitement; ''are you prepared to accept fully
and implicitly what tell you?'
'Indeed l am; l never doubted your powers
| for single moment"
| Then the Rev. II. Briggs took the ladys
hand, and looked steadily at her for few sec
onds. Beneath his gaze her eyes grew fixed,
her emotion disappeared, she became tranquil
and passive

the same ominous monosylabe broke upon

Mrs Doveton no longer shuddered. On the
contrary, turning round with look of mex

"Oh ! Mr.. Briggs, how can l thank you NY

sweetness. Hark she calls me to her; we are

A feeling of delicacy, no doubt, restrained
the Rev. 4Eneas Briggs from intruding upon tn,
first happiness Of their reconciliation, for h,
took up his hat and left the house with somt
haste.
"Well,' he said to himself, when he hat
fairly got into the street, ''of course, could de-
nothing with Rosie, but Mrs. Doveton was thu

moral point of view, perhaps, it was hardly jus

woman right; it was too bad to bring me al

the cost of the chief necessaries of life, and
overthrow all trusts and combines which
certainly operate against the masses. Both

after that announcement l was attacked
with lagrippe then epidemic and
exposures since have had frequent
attacks of rgor followed by fever,
which rendered me totally incapable for
days at time Of either mental or physical

My experience on a recent visit to Belle

this trouble is not only delusive, but that
my health will break more and more under
the fatigues and exertions which the can

In leaving my friends free to select some
other standard bearer, desire to return to

thanks for their devotion and efforts in nay

may find a servant more capable and
worthy than myself to direct the destinies
of Texas to a grander and nobler clviliza-
