The or0veSt battle that ever was fought
shall tell you where and when?
On he maps OF the world you viii ind it no
Twas fought by the mothers OF men.
Not. not with cannon or battle shot,
With sword, or nobler pen;
Nay. net with eloquent word or thought,
From mouths of wonderful men
But deep in 4 welled-up woman's heart,
= woman that would not yield,
But bravely, silently bore her part,
Lo. there is that battlefield!
No narshalling troop, no bivouac song,
No banner to CLEAN and wave;
Bat, oh: these battles they last so long
From babyhood TO the grave.
Yet, faithful still as q bridge of stars,
She fights in her walled-up town,
Fights on and on, in the endless wars,
Then silent, unseen, goes down.
We with banners and battle shot,
And soldiers to shout and praise,
: tell you the kingliest victories fought,
Are fought in these silent ways
CHI spotless woman in a world OF shame
With splendid and silent scorn,
60 back to God IS white as you came,
The kingliest warrior born.

BOOTBLACK WITH FEELINGS.

Two men stood on Thirty third street
corner chatting, one having his boots
BACKED while the other, who had but
one leg, was trying to keep a poor CT
gar burning. When the ragged little
bootblack had got through with the
one and collected nickel he tapped
the box smartly with his brush and
looked up at the one legged man:
''Shine 'em up, sir?'
"Well, don't know-you charge a
nickel for two feet, I s'pose you'll do
mine for two and half cents, eh?"
eyes" said the boy, eff you'll fur

ously to work polishing up the lonely
foot, while the two men continued
joking. The one legged man was tell
ing the other fellow about leaving his
leg on the slope of Lookout mountain.
He had pulled out a ten cent piece
mechanically as he talked, and the
boy was long time on the job When
the lad had put an extra fine polish on
the broad bottomed shoe the one leg
ged customer cheerily rendered the
dime.

near the locked up room, she said,
when Mr.. Polwhele came up with an
oath and told her that if ever he caught
her there again he would turn her
neck and crop into the road.
Mrs. Polwhele naturally was very
indignant Her indignation took a
turn favorable to her curiosity.
tsI'll know what's in that room to-
day if he turns me into the road" she
said. "He is going out again this af-
ternoon. I'll call in a locksmith and
have the door opened.o
Mr.. Polwhele went out and Mrs. Pol
whe1e sent for the locksmith. The
skeleton keys.
The door was opened in a jiffy and
the three entered the room.
No carpet. Two large tables COW
cred with pieces of pottery, baked
clay and inscribed stone. Cases of
curios everywhere. On the floor two
oblong boxes, idless and covered with
heaps of dirty, yellowish cloth.
Mrs. Arnold removed one of the
heaps and peered in the box.
She staggered back shrieking. In
the box was a corpse of a woman.
The locksmith lifted up the other
heap Of cloth. Another corpse!
Mrs. Polwhele fell to the floor in a
dead faint Mrs. Arnold continued to
shrek.
Mrs. Polwhele was too dazed to
speak a word She suffered her moth
er to haul her down stairs and into the
road, where she stood terrified and
trembling.
''Where is the nearest police sta
tion?" cried the mistress of the cere-
monies. t'Run and bring back three

The girl ran off and speedily return

Arnold had taken her daughter back
into the hall.
whats all this?" inquired a quiet
voice which issued from beneath
pair of gold trimmed spectacles. "What
does this mean?"
'sThat's himr' screamed Mrs. Arm
old. ''That's the murderer. Arrest
him.
'sWhat, Mr.. Polwhele? Nonsense!"
returned the sergeant.

tleman spoken of. stBe good enough
to inform me what this means?'
1.-TWO bodies have been found up
stairs, SIR" said the locksmith.
"Well, there are two bodies upstairs.
They have been bodies something like
1900 years, so I don't see how I could
have made them bodies. They are
mummies found by me near the great
pyramid in Egypt"
Complete collapse of Bluebeard's
mother in law. Exit police.
ssThe cloth in which the mummies
were Wrapped exclaimed Mr.. Pol
whele to his wife shortly afterward,
''is covered with inscriptions which
am transcribing. Thought you would
be shocked if you saw the mummies

A BIuGbeard.

Had Mr.. James POlWhele prevailed
upon August Duriolanus to allow him
to appear as Bluebeard on the boards
Of the Theater Royal, Drury lane, he
would most assuredly have been hiss
ed
He was almost as thin as q yardstick,
and had decided stoop in his should
ers. His hair was straw colored; his
face benevolence itself.
This benevolent appearance was &C
centuated by pair of gold trimmed
.spectacles, which he was rarely with
out, for he was as shortsighted as a
mole.
He was very wealthy. and he had
been a great traveller. He was an F. R.
s., an F. J. S., an F. S. A. and Fellow
of many other learned societies.
He resolved to marry. When a
wealthy man and savant resolves to
marry he is as good as married.
BIr. Polwhele fell in love with a very
mice young lady-a Miss Grace Arnold
whom he met at a friends house.
She, being bit of blue stocking
herself, took to the traveller and saw
ant at once.
He proposed, was accepted and ask
ed mis- fiance to name the day.
''I must consult mamma" she said.
HYour mammal" cried Mr.. Polwhele.
Greatly didn't know you had NAM
MAJ
ooh, yes; mamma lives in the coun-
try; not from preference but neces-
sity. We are not rich, you know. I
live with London friends so that may
visit the reference library at the Brit
lsh museum. She will come up to town
at once-tomorrow."
Mr.. Poiwhele did not look very
pleased. Mrs. Arnold came to town
on the morrow, and Mr.. Polwhele was
duly introduced.
The instant she set eyes on the meek
looking little man who was about to
become her onin-1aw she resolved
TO come up to town and rule him, his
wife, his house and all that was or
would be his
The instant Mr.. PoIwhele set eyes on
his prospective mother-in-law he said
TO himself:
81 don't like her, She's q meddler,
or am much mistaken. must keep
her at arms lengthn
Miss Arnold was married from her
home in the country village. Imme-
-diately after the ceremony she left
with her husband for the residence of
one Of the latter's aristocratic friends,
which had been placed at their dispo-
sal
At the expiration of the honeymoon
they returned to Champion Hill.
Twelve hours had not elapsed when
Mr.. Polwhele received a letter from
her mother.
James," she said, shortly after it's
receipt, mamma wishes to visit us.
and 10 bring Marie and Annie.''
Does she?" returned Mr.. Polwhele.
We'll, I suppose they must come.
Uhink-yes-I think you may invite
them for week. By the way, my
dear, wish to speak to you with re-
gard TO room upstairs. wish no one
90 enter it but myself, SO I always lock
1t up and carry the key in my pocket
when 60 out. 1t contains my treas
ures; they lie all over the place, but
they must not be moved, as I am writ
ing about them.''
Doesn't the room want dusting?u
asked Mrs. Polwhele, whose curiosity
was aroused
Ny dear, would much rather no
ole entered the room but MYSELF
W lat, not even your own little wife?''
Not even my own darling little wife. y
