A NIGHTINGALE.

0eep IN the quiet OF an English vale.
One summer night when through the tranquil
Sky
TIL" iulorbcd moon sailed down the west nnl I
Was LETT alone To witch her visayc pale
Thee came from some cloa-ihroated nightingale
Illiutive music floating softly by,
AMI all the dreamy gales were hushed to try
To 81 ch the words of the melodious tale.
And l. cnraptured, held awhile my breath
To hear the music of his poet bird -
The bitterness mingling with the sweets;
To me it seemed as though from realms of death
His soul returned, and listening, heard
Once more the mellow cadences of Keats.

braided and the hair on the back of tbe

regular intervals. To give them the ay
pearance of very long hair, of which thew
are extremely proud, that which has been

So Mr. Griffin and the father went on

Mr.. Griffin offered the pardon to the
young man, the old father threw his
arms around the sons neck and the son

now. 1t is all over forgive you my
SON" and he kissed him and kissed him
and kissed him.
To-day | offer you the pardon OF the
Gospel-full pardon, free pardon. 90
not care what your sin has been.
Though you say you have committed
crime against God, against your own
soul, against your fellow man, against
your family, against the day OF Judg-
ment, against the cross OF CHRIST
whatever your crime has been, here Is
pardon, full pardon, and the very mo-
ment that you take that pardon your
heavenly father throws his arms around
about you and says: "My son, forgive
YOU. 1t is all right. You are as much
in my favor now as if you had never
sinned." o. there is joy on earth ana
joy in heaven. Who will take the
fathers embrace?
There was gentisman in a rall-car
who saw in that same car three pas
sengers Of very different circumstances.
The first was maniac. lie was care
fully guarded by his attendants; his
mind, like ship dismaSted, was peat
ing against a dark, desolate coast, from
which no help could come. The tram
stopped, and the man was taken out In
to the asylum, to waste away, perhaps,
through years of gloom. The second
passenger was culprit. The out
ragged law had seized on him. As the
cars jolted, the chains ratified. On his
face were crime, depravity, aud deS-
pair. The train halted, and he was
taken out to the penitentiary, to which
he had been condemned. There
was the third passenger, under
farg5gdiiferent circumstances. She
was bride. Every hour was as gay as
a marriage-bell. Life glittered and
beckoned. Her companion was taking
her to his fathers house. The train
halted. The old man was there to wei
come her to her new home, and his
white locks showed down upon her as he
sealed his word with fathers kiss.
Quickly we fly toward eternity. We
will soon be there. Some leave this
life condemned. On, may it be with US,
that, leaving this fleeting life for the
next, we may find our Father ready to
greet us to our new home with him for
ever. That will be q marriage banquet!
Fathers welcome! Fathers bosom!
Fathers kiss, Heaven Heaven!

0 FOR A QUIET NOOK.
Speaker Crisp Needs Rest and
Seelusion From Wear
and Tear.
No Conclusion Reached as to
Any Of the Committees Of
the House.

mittee Of the Senate in
a Quandary.
Senator Calls Proposed Pur-
chase Of Cuba--Are Free

WASHINGTON, ID, c., Dec. 1.-Speak-
er Crisp will probably leave Washing
ton for few days and go to some quiet
place, where he can secure little rest,
which he greatly needs after the wear
and tear of his canvass and his incess-
ant labors since his election, and where
he can also work undisturbed Oh the ar
rangemeIit of the committees. He will
not leave the city until all the members
of the house nave had an opportunity
to express their views to him. He spent
the day at his room at the capitol. and
received number of members. Sena-
tors Hiscock and Chandler, ex-Speaker
Reed and others paid their respects.
The speaker desires through the press
to return his cordial thanks to the many
persons who have sent him thier con-
CALCULATIONS. which are so numerous
that it is not possible for him to make
an individual response to each.
No conclusion had been reached this
afternoon with respect to any of the
committees or the policy TO be pursued
as regards their composition. 1t is
probable that when the house cOnvenes
tomorrow the committees on accounts
and on mileage will be announced. The
work or these committees relates merely
to members salaries and travelling eX-
penses, and they are usually appointed
very soon after the organization of the
house, in order that the accounts of
members may he auditee. 1t was Sug-
gested this afternoon that Mr.. Rusk, of
Maryland, might perhaps be made chair
man of one of these committees. The
rules committee, so far as can be learned,
is entirely an unknown quantity. whose
composition is not likely TO be deter
mined upon before next week.

DELICATE QUESTION S.
Senators All Want the INCEST
Committee Assignments.

Senators All Want the incest
Committee Assignments.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Neither the
senate nor the house was in session to-
day. There were few signs of activity
visible in the senate wing. The senate
Republican caucus committee met at a
comparatively early hour and took up
the thread of their deliberation at the
point where it was dropped yesterday.
Nearly all the Republican senators have
been heard from individually upon the
ject of their assignment to committees.
but, as was inevitable from the first,
the caucus committee has discovered
that in many cases it is not practicable
to accede to individual wishes. inasmuch
as several senators look forward to as
signment to places on committees where
there are few or no vacancies. This
condition of affairs calls for much tact
and management on the part of the eau
Gus committee to avoid an appearance
of unjust discrimination, so that the
progress made up to the present time is
not very marked, and it was said this
afternoon by one of the committee that
a report may not be made to the senate
until next Tuesday.

Club BlackbaIIs.

New York World.
Neither Dr. Seward Webb nor any
other man who knows clubs need be
Inundated by a blackball. There are
men, of course. who are blackballed be-
cause of their bad characters, but many
a good fellow is kept out of a social
organization simply because one or two
of the board of governors are possessed
OF an irrational prejudice against him.
On its face the refusal of club to admit
one to its membership, which is usually
the refusal of few. is not at all to his
prejudice. 1t is not a reflection on
his character, on his social posi-
ton or on his general fellowship.
1t simply indicates that some memb ers
of the club do not like the candidate,
that he is not cOngenial TO them, and,
though they have no right to base their
club action entirely on personal feeling,
that they fear that his presence in the
clubhouse may be disturbing to the rest
of the members. He may, indeed, be
rejected because the wart on his nose is
of size or shape not approved of in
that particular club.
AS rule there is nothing more elastic
or more arbitrary than club law, and
nothing so innOcuOuS as club black
ball.

A COSTLY BLAZE.
The Millinery Establishment of
SchnItz & Co. Quilted.

The Millinery Establishment of
SchnItz & Co. Quilted.
Considerable damage was done by fire
last evening in the wholesale millinery
establishment of +. j. Schultz Il Co., 81
and SO East Third street. At quarter
past SIX o'clock fire was discovered in
the second floor of the building,
and an alarm of fire prompt
ly turned in from box %.
The flames had a good hold OH the sec
Ond floor, and Chief Jackson coucen-
trated his men on that point, with the
result that the fire was confined to the
locality where it broke out. The in
t1ammable nature of the stock caused a
hot fire for about twenty minutes, but
alter that time it was UNI
der control and soon eXtinguished.
Stock taking was being carried Oh by
the employees of the firm, and at 6 o'clock
the clerks left the building to go to sup
per. All the gas jets were left lighted,
and it is believed that a jet of gas was
blown onto some light material on one
Of the shelves, thus causing the fire. T.
j. Schultz, one of the firm, estimated
that the damage from fire and water
would amount 10 $4,000 TO S15, 1000, fully
covered Dy insurance.
