A New York sIlnistor,s noy.

There is a certain up town minister whose little son, having profited by his fathers teachings, has a most complete faith in God. The little fellow spent some weeks il the coun try, and became much interested in a yoke of oxen which belonged on the place on which he was staying One day, desirous of stirring the creatures up little, he poked them with n stick, but they didn't mind that. Then he scratched them with a hoe which lay handy, but still they stood drowsy almost lifeless. Finally the boy stuck wisp of hay up each ox's nose. That did the business. The oxen stopped chewing their cuds and began to look ex tremely frisl1y.
 Take care, Harry" shouted the hired man. them beasts might cut and run. "
 Couldn't you stop 'em if they did2" asked Harry.
 Well, perhaps l could, and then agin perhaps couldn't. Oxen is powerful ugly sometimes.
 Harry was silent for a moment, and then he said, II know who could stop 'em if you couldn't !"
 "Whog" asked the man.
 God, was the answer
 How could God stop 'emG"
 He could say 'Gee-haw' at 'em. was tho triumphant answer-New York Times.

THE MENDED VASE.

A beautiful, delicate, fragile vase, The fruit of a mold that was quaint and olden; It flashed with the charm of a subtle grace, And gleamed with light that was rich and
 golden.
 A blundcring hand and careless blow, And the fragile form is crushed and shat
 tered;
 Its charm and it's graces are lying low, In thousand fragments scattered. And never again while the world shall st7nd Can the wrong of that reckless blow be
 righted;
 An! never, not cen by an artists hand, Can the scattered Fragments be united. Go, paste them into their former shape, The scars on the surface will still show traces, And unjoined edges will stand agape Where once stood countless graces. And what is my life but crystal vase That an awkward blow has shattered and
 broken?
 Its former beauty no touch may retrace, And its wreck of it's richness is only a token. The pieces ara fitted together again, But the tone and the color are all unblended; I feel with the pang of 8 nameless pain, It is only vase that is mcnded.

PEOPLES PARTY DEMANDS.
Demands that the state Educate Chii
 dren of All Citizens.

CHICAGO, May l7.-The State con- vention of the Peoples party will be held Thurseay, May l9. at Danville. At conference held Saturday evening at the sherman house, the twenty three delegates who are to represent Cook county in the convention were in- structed to urge the incorporation in the State platform of the following ee- mands:
 That the State shall under the right of eminent domain secure possession of the coal mines and operate them so that consumers may secure this indis- pensible article at cost, and the mine workers living wages and humane con- ditions of employment.
 That 1t is the duty of the State to secure full and complete education
 to all its citizens, and in order to full fill its duty it should provide sufficient school room for all children of school age, free text books, proper clothing for children unprovided for, and a warm meal each day without expense to the children; and we further de- mand the enactment and enforcement of adequate laws prohibiting the em- ployment of children under Is years of age in workshops, mines and factories.
 We condemn the arbitrary inter ference by the police with the liberty of speech and the freedom to meet by peaceable citizens in Chicago, and we condemn the employment of armed mercenaries by corporations. believing that such actions strike at the founda- ton of American institutions and tend to bring the majesty of the law and it's officers into disrepute.
 We demand the enforcement of the constitutional provision prohibiting the leasing of the convicts in the State penitentiary, which constitutional amenement, ratified by the people, is systematically violated by the present State authorities
 We demand the incorporation in the State laws of the principle of the referendum, giving the people power to accept or reject any legislative en- actment
 The delegates were instructed to
 vote for the following candidates: Governor, II. F. TaubenbeclS; Lieu
 tenant Governor, Jesse Harper; Attor- ney General, Jesse Cox; Treasurer, A. J. Streeter; Auditor, c. c. Dixon; Congressman-at-larg s. F. Norton.
