on A JOURNEY.
Years ago we took a journey,

Years ago we took a journey,
Jean and !.
She my bride, a dainty blossom
Young and shy.
Ali bright the sun shone DER us
Sang the birds in sweetest chorus
Life together lay before us,
Jean and |.
Building castles-airy castles
To the sky.
Built home, shining structure,
Strong and high.
Blessed youth, untouched by sorrow;
Happy youth that scorns TO borrow
Troubles for the coming morrow
Drawing nigh.
But to-day you've gone a journey
All alone;
Folded hands upon your bosom
Cold as stone.
An the sky hangs low in weeping,
Shadows dark are o er you creeping,
on this journey you lie sleeping,
Hceding none.
Could ! lift the veil that hides you
From my. view;
Could | feel that on this journey
You but knew,
How my love was but half told YOU.
How my aching heart would hold YOU,
How my arms would fain enfold you
Firm and true
When might cease this throbbing anguish
Like dart;
Then think of this lone journey
Far apart.
Earth TO earth, the clods are falling,
Dust to dust my soul appalling,
With oumb misery enthralling
All my heart.

F1oREScE's EPITAPH.
William Winters Inscription for
Dead Comedians Tombstone.

William Winters Inscription for the
Dead Comedians Tombstone.
The remains of the late William j.
Florence, now in the receiving tomb at
Greenwood, says the New York Tribune,
are to be laid in the grave In that ceme-
terry shortly after the arrival of Mrs.
Florence from England The come
dams cpitaph has been written by Will
liam Winter at the request of the rela-
tiyes of the deceased and is as follows:
Here Rest the Ashes of
William James Florence,
Comedian,
His copious and varied dramatic
powers, together with the abundant
graces Of his person, combined with
ample professional equipment and a
temperament of peculiar sensibility and
charm, made him one of the best and
most successful actors of his time, alike
in comedy and in serious drama. He
ranged easily from Handy Andy to Bob
Briefly, and from Cap'en Cutie to
Obenreiser, in authorship, alike of
plays, stories, music and song. He was
inventive, versatile, facile and graceful.
In art, admirable; in life, gentle; he was
widely known, and he was known only
to be loved.
He Was Born in Albany, N. Y.
July 20, 1881.
He Died in Philadelphia, Penn,
November 10, 1891.
BY Virtue cherished, by Affection mourned,
BY Honor hallowed and by Fame adorned,
Here Florence sleeps, and DER his sacred
rest
Each word is tender and each thought is
blest.
Long, for his loss, shall pensive Memory
show,
Through Eumor's mask, the visage of her
woe,
Day breathe darkness that no sun dispels
And Night be full Of whispers and fare
wells;
While patient kindness, shadow-like and
Droops in its loneliness, bereft Of him.
Feels its sad doom and sure decadence
nigh
For how, should Kindness live when he
could die
The eager heart, that felt for every grief,
The bounteous hand, that loved to give
The honest smile. that blessed where'er it
The dew Of pathos and the sheen of wit,
The sweet, blue eyes, the voice of melting
tone
That made all hearts as gentle as his own,
Inc Actors charm, supreme in royal
thrall
That ranged through every field and shone
in all
For these must sorrow make perpetual
Bereayed, henighted, hopeless and alone?
All, no; for Nature does not act amss.

MISS HUYTIyGTONss NEW UNIFORM.

Miss Agnes Huntington is busy with the rehearsals
of her company in Captain Therese." all Of which
she superintends herself and she is laboring for
suits with characteristic energy and carofulness.
She has great faith in the new opera. She thinks
that the music is in PlanQuettes best style, and the
book unusually interesting and clever OF course she
has a chance to dress like man or half her OPP
portunites would be lost. Thercse is a girl fresh
from a convent, whence she is summoned by her
father the Marquis de Vadcuil, to wed young Vicome
Tancrede de la TOuche instead OF the cousin she
really loves, Philip de Beegsrde who is out of favor
with the Marquis on account Of an intrigue he Is
falsely reported to had with the wife Of General
sombrero, and who has been imprisoned on that ac-
count To rescue her bethrothed, Therese dons a
captains uniform and proceeds with some female
companions likewise in military attire, TO the camp
NJ Vellars where her worst fears appear 30 be
realized But the constsncy Of Philip and the base
ness of the Vctome de la Touche are proved IN the
final act and all ends happily for Captain Therese
and the Spanish lover.
