GOODNIGHT,

Goodnight. my loves lay me down,

And 80 to thee my hearts delight,

Goodnight I'm wondering how twin -
When life Is slipping fer from mo,
When, drawn by deaths tranquility,
The far-on, fadeless morn I see.
Then wilt thou kiss the fading face,

By all their priceless legacy.
And burden fond Of memory,
That holds thy first good night 70 me,
Then music, thrilled with deeper tone,
Told but one story-true loves ownI
And life, our life, was Just begun
Its meaning learned, two lives In on0
Goodnight, dear love pray the Lord,
BY every promise Of His word,
That, day and night, may follow thee,
With ever folding ministry.
Thy better angels, holding thee
In oil loud days prosperity,
And in the haunting night-wAtch lone;
From all the evil sins hath wrought,
From tempting deed and soiling thought
From sorrow and from murdered faith
From loss in life and loss in death,
Tho blessed angels hold thee sure,
And lead thee safe and save thee pure.
Goodnight The old clock Of the town
Strikes nights last hour. The moPniARI

Touches the silence. Dropping down,
Before tits gone, the midnight quite,

why the Bosses Sweat,

We hear good deal about people
sweating blood nowadays The only
people we have seen doing this are the
political leaders of the two parties in
this country. They are sweating, first
because they fear that they will lose
their places; second, because they fear
that honest men will get hold of the
reins of government; third, because
their willy political schemes are being
laid bare. The tricks by which thew
have kept the people of this country
divided for twenty-five years are no
longer available. Revolution is in the
hearts of the great common people.
That is why the bosses are sweating

Despite the fact that the credit system
IS a losing one for most men in business,
yet it is, and always will be, more or less

lecting agency. We find that most of the
wholesale and retail firms of our city are
using the features of making collections
found in the Sprague system. Those cases
where you can recover by law it will reach
every time, as well as a great many who
are execution proof. 1t saves court and
attorneys fees, and is apparently indis-
pensable to anyone in business, either in
the city or country. The margin on goods
Is gradually growing smaller, and it Is
more essential each year that the business
men collect everything due them, and we

DESTROYING Species

When people set about getting I'D OF en-
tire species of animals by systematic per
secntion they usually find it a difficult
lob. Set price on the head Of the wolf or
the woodchack and the ezeasHxe seems to
realize the importance OF tn HE. A bounty
ON crows must be viewed as paeasantJoke
by those shrewd observers OF man and
things. The case of the wolf IN Europe Is
q historical one. A price has been set on
the creature's head fer centuries, and yet
there is but small portion OF the conta-
nent from which the animal has been ex-
terminated. The Netherlands Is free OF
wolves from the character Of the country.
The whole land furnishes not q single
rocky den suitable fer VOLTS lair; pelther
Is there forest for the creatures shelter,
tt is true that the waH has been exter-
minsted from Great Britain and Ireland.
This result has been reached, however, by
indirect means rather than by direct at
tack. The clearing OF of the forest Left
the wolf no place in which to hide from
pursuit. The islands wEe too far from
the continent for their Trimmed ranks To be
recruited from the main land.
In Spain and France the wolf has at no
time been unknown, although price mas
been set on its head for hundreds of years.
The animal hes developed cunning in pro-
portion as the pursuit has become closer.
Like the crow, it has learned to take care
of itself.
On the other hand, species receive very
little help toward their continuance from
the well meant efforts Of man to that end.
In proof of this we are told that there is an
ancient act of parliament still IN force IN
England and WAKES prohibiting the tax
ing of the eggs of certain birds, Of which
six kinds are expressly named. In spite OF
this protecting law, four of the six species
have ceased to breed in those countries,
The indirect ways IN which such results
are brought about are shown in the de-
structiou of the quail of New Zealand.
The birds were once numerous; DO one
wished to destroy them. But the land was
burned over for other purposes at seasons
when the eggs and young OF the quail were
exposed to destruction, and few years
brought the species to an end.-Youth's
Com panion.

Dandy Darkies.

The colored gentry of Sixth avenue form
q curious and interesting feature OF the
Cosmopolitan crowd that makes up the sum
total of New York's population. The dark
tide flows into Broadway at Twenty third
street at certain hours OF the day, as the
turbid waters of the Missouri flow into the
broader and grander Mississippi, and go
ing with it but not Of it. This tide is dis
tinctly colored, but is not wholly Of the
negro race.
In no other city of the United States can
be seen the real colored gentleman in all
his glory as he can be seen in this section
of the tenderloin precinct. The dandy
negro cannot be found in the south. On
Sixth avenue he outswells the swens Of
swelldom. For the most part the negro
dandy is loud" in his attire, and if that
style of dress can be said to become any
body it is most becoming to the colored
dude. But the Sixth avenue dandies are
not necessarily of that stamp. You can
see many of them dressed in good taste and
liz a style creditable to any white exquisite.
Tie distipgue air with which they carry
this personal magnifcence is that Of the
born and bred aristocrat. No amount of
"guying" disturbs their outward calm.
