REST

My feet are wearied and my hands are tired.
My soul oppressed
And desire what have long desired
Rest-only rest.
IT'S hard to toil-when toll is almost vain
In barren ways;
IT'S hard to SOW and never garner grain
In harvest days.
The burden of my days is hard to bear,
But God knows best;
And | have prayed-but vain has been my
prayer
For rest-sweet rest.
'Tis hard to plant in spring and never reap
The autumn yield;
IT'S hard to till, and when titled to weep
Ger fruitless field.
And so cry a weak and human cry,
So heart oppressed;
And sigh weak and human sigh
For rest-for rest.
My way has wound across the desert years,
And cares infest
Ny path, and through the flowing Of hot tears
pine-for rest.
Twas always so; when but child laid
On mothers breast
My Wearied little head; cen then prayed,
AS now-for rest.
And am restless still; twill soon be DER;
For, down the west
Lies sun is setting, and see the shore
Where shall rest.
Rev, Father RYAN

Manor, CraInpshlre. He at once sar
down and dispatched small, carefully
packed parcel to the bridegroom.
Why. Michael, here's belated we'd
ding present, I do believe" cried LAMA
the morning after their return from
their honeymoon to her fathers house.
Its addressed to you, and do believe
the handwriting is DR.. Carious'."
Lets see it," said Careless. and
forthwith he proceeded to undo the
parcel Under the paper was a wooden
box with a sliding lid. As he pulled
this away piece of paper huttered to
the ground. Lamia picked it up and
read aloud the following extraordinary
note:
SIR-lnclosed send you what circumstances
force me to believe are your father-in-laws
toes. You will, no doubt, do as you think fit
about returning them, after so long separa-
ton, to their original owner. I am yours faith
fully, &C.
While Lama was reading this letter
aloud Michael was gazing, with broad
smile upon his face, at small bottle
which he held in his hand and which
contained in spirits of wine very re-
markable object. This object was the
toe piece of a stout boot with felt
sole containing five human toes and
the fragments of a thick wooden sock,
cut as clearly off a booted foot as
though it were the section of a Ger
man sausage. Pasted on the bottle
was a fragment of newspaper dated
just forty years ago. Michael volun-
teered to read it aloud.
1t contained partial description of
what had evidently been a CHASTITY
tragedy. Among other things it stated
that the room in which murder for
the sake of plumber had been com
mitted was in state of terrible con-
fusion, which evidenced that desper-
ate struggle had taken place, and that
the deceased had evidently at one time
during the encounter been in possession
of a large AK which lay on the floor,
since the only trace of the murderer
left behind was the toe piece of his
boot cut clean off, with the five toes
IeIudluIilS III IL.
These last words were underlined in
red ink, and in writing was added, evil
IDENTIFY by Dr. Carious' father:
"Owner of the toes still at large, and |
now two years since murder was COM
mitted John Carious."
"And what the deuce does it all
mean2" cried Mr.. Smith.
''Well," said Michael, rather shame
facedly, for he was uncertain what sort
of reception his story would receive,
1.-THE fact is I saw this curiosity in DR..
Carious' museum the night I dined with
him, and when he came down to shoot
with me took the liberty of blocking
up all the toes Of your right boots, and
chose to draw the unwar-
rantable Inference
"You mean that you chose to make
him believe, to forward your own per-
sonal schemes, you dog" roared Mr..
Smith, "that THAT your uncle-that
his future father-in-law was a toeless
murderer at large" and what between
Indignation and laughter, Lamia's ia
Their was within measurable distance of
to a premature fit of apo
plexy. Courier.

LAMA promptly handed the letter to
her father and watched his face.
'Why, what the blazes is the fellow
referring to2" roared Mr.. Smith, when
he read it, with his 'concatenation of
circumstances and his 'tragical secret,
which would imbitter your existence if
you ever became aware of it. and his
not being induced to divulge It but
under the most stringent compulsiong
Why, suppose the fellow thinks we
shall bring an action against him for
breach of promise of marriage and
force him in the witness box to give
his reasons for jilting you. What did
tell you, Lamia9 This Sawbones isn't
the man for you, and you're damned
well rid Of him."
MIR. Smith, MIR. Smith, please re-
member your manners before ladiesi"
cried his better half.
Mrs. Smith, said her husband, who
was somewhat overexcited by what he
had read, ladies, or no ladies, I re-
peat, Lamia's damned well rid of him:
and l think she'll agree with me that
I've been perfectly right all along, and
that I'm justified in saying So"
The long and short of the matter
was that Mr.. Smith undertook, with
Lamia's consent, to write a reply TO DIR.
Carious, which reply, as may be imag-
med, was clothed in language rather
more strong than courteous, and in
which he told him that nothing could
exceed his regret that he had ever been
to his daughter except his JOY
hat ne had now ceased to be so.
A few months later DR.. Carious read
he announcement in The Times of q
marriage between Michael Careless, of
Montreal; Canada. and LAMA. daueh- |

PRESS COMMENT.
The Labor Bureau-The Democratic
Senate's Opportunity.

Senate's Opportunity.
The admirable efficiency with which
Samuel M. Hotchkiss performs the duties
of labor statistics is an honor to the state
and to himself. The technical skill, the
conscientious devotion and the irresistible
enthusiasm which characterizes his inves-
legations have rendered the bureau a
valuable and influential department of
state. The paper which the commissioner
read before the American Social Science
convention at Saratoga the other day was
decidedly suggestive production.-Wat-
erbury Republican.
Yesterdays Hartford Courant says: eve
have no idea that the thing is possible,
but just imagine the effect it would have
in the state if the democratic senate, which
comes together this afternoon at half past
l, should pass some common sense resolu-
ton, offering to go its part of the way
toward a settlement of the Connecticut
difficulty!
''There are twenty-four senators. Seven
of these can be depended upon to do what
they can to break the deadlock. 1t needs
only six others. Those six would be long
remembered, ny tnelr party ana ny the
whole state regardless of party, as men
who had the courage to defy partisan lead
ership for the sake of aiding the public
welfare, if to-day they would take some
such steps.
''The senate refused every form of COM
promise, every offer of sentiment, every
attempt even to find basis on which to
settle. It demanded its own way or it
would do nothing at all. Our constitu-
ton, based on patriotism and assuming
intelligence and public spirit in all the
people, fails to provide any coercion for a
branch of the general assembly that re-
fuses to do its duty. The senate can balk
like mule and there is no moving it. But
there is the spectacle and all Connecticut
has to share the discredit of it."
