THE MINISTER'S LOT.

My lady, when thy cavaliers
About thy footStool bend.
And wait thy words with eager ears,
Thou dost not condescend
To look on me. My faithful lutte,
That soothed thee with its song,
Hath lost its charm, the strings are mute
Annie the knightly throng.
Thou givest one thy sleeve to wear.
AND one thy hand to press.
Thou doSt believe them when thy swear
Eternal faithfulness.
Their VOWS thou doSt not seek to prove
Thou art content the While:
And yet to me, whose life is love,
Thou grantest not one smile
Yet when, percnance, some feat of arms
Doth call thy Knights away,
And they, forgetfuI of thy charms,
Ride forth 10 join the fray,
Ere the last pennOned lance is hid
BY hills that lie beyond,
To soothe thy sorrow am bid,
And gladly respond.
Thy thought is with the cavaliers
Who laughing rode away;
And to QiSpel thy lonely tears
l tune my loving lay.
/ am forgot in loves sweet song
All happiness is thine;
But love is true, my love is strong.
Thy griefs are doubly mine
Thou knowest not this love hold:
Thou doSt not understand
The love that in my songs is told
Love beautiful and grand
Songs serve to hasten tagging ime,
Thy dreams are dreams of pride:
The lover pictured in my rhyme
Unknown waits ut thy side.

M how, when we went to the Candy-pull

CONCENTRATION.

In discussing the decay of small in
dustries the Philadelphia Times saws:
The tendency of the manufacturino
establishments OF this country to de-
crease in number and increase in size
is strikingly demonstrated in the recent
census bulletin on the wooden indus
tries. From this it appears that there
vera 67S less establishments of This
kind in 1890 than in 1880 and 1879 less
than in 1899. The number OF estab-
llshments reported in active operation
in 1890 is 1908, as against 26S9 in 1880
and 1871 in 1870. On the other hand.
he capital invested in the 2503 estab-
lishments in 1890 was $314, 300. 944. as
against $3.50, 091. 500 invested in 26S9
establishments in 1880. In other words,
while the NUMBER of mills decreased
nearly one-fourth during the decade
the capital invested was nearly dou-
bled.' These figures. in the opinion
OF the Times, furnish striking illus
tralion of the tendency of high rates
of duty to foster large combinations Of

Hon Henry Watterson, in an inter-
view in Chicago ON the 18th inst. vir-
tually called upon MIR. Cleveland to
withdraw from the race for the presi-
Genital nomination. Mr.. Watterson
said the nomination of the ex-presi-
dent would be suicidal for the demo-
cratic party. Hill, too, he believed,
had dug his own political grave in
New York State, and he regards the
conflict there as practically irreconci-
liable. The party. he says, must come
West for its candidate, or seek him in
either of the three States OF Massa-
chusetts, Pennsylvania or MARYLAND.
Mr. Watterson said: II have never
INDUCED myself vesy much in hero
worship, and any good democrat whom
the national convention may see fit to
nominate will suit mo. If had man
TO put in the White House he would
be Mr.. Carlisle. | regard him as the
best equipped democrat in public life.
lie is able and honest He is sound
to the core and has the courage of his
convictions. He was making great
expesitions in democratic lore and
leading democratic tariff battles when
Mr.. Cleveland was mayor of Buffalo.
He would make an eminent president.
He aside, anybody will suit me if he
does not come from New York"
why sop'
Because the factions there have
made the nomination of any New York
er impossible. Gov. Hill has killed
Me. Cleveland. and in doing so he has
almost killed himself, Is we could
not elect Mr.. Cleveland in 1883, when
he was in the White House and when
he had all the outer forms and shows
OF harmony in the State of New York,
what chance should we have against

however, aud the next to bring dismay
to his parents was his inability to use
his lower limbs. From birth until the
10th inst. his legs were apparently
llieless, as he could neither stand or
walk upon them. On the l5sh inst.
the little fellow was crawling about
the floor as was his custom, when sud
denly, without any assistance whatev-
er, he rose to his feet, walked to his
mother, and has since been walking
about as freely as any child OF his age.
NO one can understand the Joy in that
household. The mother, who Is a good
christian woman, has been constantly
praying for the relief OF her boy, and
Is now firm in the belief that her pray
ers have been answered. The father
offered large sums of money to physi-
clans to cure the child, but the case
was considered by them as hopeless.
