Heroic Conduct Of Tali Graceful Girl
 at tho supreme Test oT Love.

Heroic Conduct of Q Tall, Graceful Girl
 at tho supreme Test or Love.
 Two tall, graceful girls strolled slow- ly along the beach earnestly conversing, They were conspicuous in the throng, and many an adnliring glapce wns turned toward them as they sauntered to and fro. A cloudless sky was reflect led in calm waters below, while scarcely a breath of air was stirring
 The girl in the pure white blazer was doing most of the talking.
 'It is all very we'll" she was saying, ''to insist that you would die for the man you love, but the sacrifice is quite another thing
 The girl with the blue yachting cap shrugged her shoulders,
 You speak, she observed, ''like one who had made the sacrifice"
 "I have the right so to speak"
 Affecting recollections poured tumul- tuously over tho soul of the girl in the white blazer Tier lips trembled and the superb eyes bent upon the sand of the beach glistoned with the dew of gathering tears.
 Tho girl in the blue cap smiled haught. fly.
 "Indeed," she sarcasucally retorted, "how very interestngl And how does it feel to actually die for the man you lover
 Reproachfully the girl in the white blazer directed her gaze upon the girl with the blue yachting cap.
 "You shall not make light of it. v
 Forgive me,
 For a time they walked in silence, Both were deeply affected, the one filled with remembrances of the past; the other her resentment gone, with wo- manly sympathy.
 Hell me about it. Ethel"
 The girl in the blue watching cap was tenderly persuasive.
 "It was worse than dying for him Clara With quick movement the tears were dashed from the superb eyes, and the girl with the white blazer faced her companion.
 1t was at Easter, Clara. You re. member the dear, bright fellow l was engaged to then One evening but a short while before he said he did not believe l bore him the deep ploye should I challenged him to name a sacrifice would not make for his sake. With an insight into feminine character which was Mephistophelian in its subtlety, he dared me to do that which causes every womane heart to recoil with horror. [ But ] did it.
 They had paused iu their walk, and were looking at each other G&odly. 'Ethelr
 'Yes, Clara, did it. Iwcnt to churcl | that Eastei n6miass sat in the very ! front seat, and l never locked around during the service"
 The girl in the blue yachting car drew deep, trolaulous breath. "Ethell'
 "Yes, Clara"
 "You are a sublime heroine. Cen you l forget my nasty words:
 T can, Clara"
 And the little wayelets lappea tht snowy beach with drowsy sound, whil, all the throng gazed in admiration al the graceful girls.--Detroit Tribune.

The song was such a success that additions were made to them in all' direction Here is an instance in point The Wings unexpect- edly carried the state of Maine, electing Edward Kent by very small margin for governor. This verse immediately appeared:
 Have you heard from Maine, Maine, Maine,

 It went, hell bent, for Governor Kent, and

 And with them we'll beat little Van, Van,

 As regards the music, it was adapted from Q familiar air of the times, which h..d the not very attractive name of "Little Pigs Tail" Henry Russell was an Englishmau, and at that period was the most popular concert singer in this country. He was a composer, but he did not compose this tune, and probably would not have been very proud if he had been credited with its authorship, It is altogether likely that the Wings engaged him to sing il in Boston, as he told our correspondent that he did sing it as he stood in a window near the cor ner Of Washington and Milk streets. Mir. Russell must be a gentleman well advanced in years by this time It is a great many wears since he ceased to sing in public in this country. It may be n- teresting to know that he is the father of W. Clark Russell, the popular writer of nautical novels.-Boston Herald.

An old Question Asked Anew.

The old question has been lately asked anew, Why fill the infant mind with images of cruelty and horror? Why suggest to innocence the dreadful vision of ogres fattening captiyes like sheep for their table? Why torture it with that appalling cabalistic bloody invoca- tion, Fee, flaw, fun? Why permit the hoary murderer Blue Beard to terrify the young before in historical sequence they reach Henry VIII. in no exten- uating page of Froude, but as the grisly murderer and defender of the faith of the older annals? And why per plex the callow pilgrim scarcely em- parked on the journey of life, which the reverend and the wise describe as a moral warfare, by the rhyme which de. clares the greedy thief of plum from the copious pudding good boyi
 Why is glutton who triumphs in his gluttony to be commended in honeyed measure as good, while nothing is said in praise-nay, he is not even mentioned --of the virtue of the unnamed com rade, who was undoubtedly present and who restrained his desire to pull out plums, and who, so far as posterity knows, not only had no plum, but also forbore the sauce?-George William Curtis in Harper's.

LET THE GRASS GROW.

Let the grass grow over your graves of sorrow { and sin and care; Let the grass grow over your saddened shame and your misery of despair Let the grass grow over your long nursed woe and the fear of that awful doubt; Let the grass grow over the sin and tho hate that brought the trouble about Let the flowers grow over your grave or folly and crime and fears; Let the flowers cover the ghastly past with its
 beauty of better years; Let tho flowers cover the awful plan of venge-
 ance and thought of wrong; Let the flowers grow, let vengeance stay where
 vengeance doth rightly belong. Let darkness cover your grave, let the soft
 years murmur by; Let repentance break their loneliness with tie
 sad and bitter cry; Let affection twine, and tho virtues bloom and cover the naked sod Let tho grass grow over the grave, my child
 and leave it alone with God!

The Folly of Suicide.

The sin of suicide Is not more evident than is it's folly. In the vast majority of cases the ills which provoke this des- perate act derive their force not from the actual misery they inhict, but from nervous apprehensiveness. They are the shadows of clouds which threaten, but may and often do pass away.
 It was one of tlB cruel ironies of fate that the suicide of Nj. Prevost-Paradol, who had stultifed his most brilliant writings by accepting post-that of minister from France to Washington under the Second Empire, took place just as the Liberal cause, with which his name had always been associated, was on the eve of triumph
 When Mary Wollstonecraft, deserted by her American lover, paced up and down Putney bridge satnrating her gar ments with the rain so that they might not prevent her from sinking in the water her life seemed indescribably dreary-without q ray of hope, Yet this very hour of despair proved to be the turning point in her history, and from 1t dated the truest bliss she had ever known-a period of welded happi- ness and joyous work. And so with the marvellous boy. the sleepless soul that perished in his pride" Chatterton. He poisoned himself in his wretched garret at the very time when the feet of one who would have relieved his pow. erty were turned toward the street in which he died. Boston Transcript.

Nhen sIonsr Nas Plenty


 There is a class of men, particularly in tho western country, who get into the habit of stretching thetruth of incidents which occurred in their pioneer days un- til they become to believe them as facts. One of the most scientifcof these is Jim Hawthorne, whose home now Is near White Pine, Guuni5bn county Here is one of Jhn's stories; ''Me and my pard ner," he observed, made more money in them days than we knew what to do with. For instance, when we had that big government contract for wood we was rollin in money. Money was com moner than chipmunks, and it wasn't much good tous neither; cause we didn't have no stores to spend it at. That con tract was for 50,000 cords of wood. We got $l15 cord, and we made money very easy" "What was the government doing with so much woody? Well, l don't know. Some of it was used by the Indians. The government just had it left around handy for clambakes." "Glambakes?' aWhy, cert; clambakes were very common in them days on the Platte" "Did you deliver the fuli con- tracty" "No. We kind of let up after we had delivered 10, ,0oO cords. Wedidn't want to bust the government. I just tell this to show you how lienty money was in them days. Colorado Sun.

THE DIRECT TAX MONEY.
Rules for Securing IT Which Have Been
Adopted by the COMMITTEES.

Rules for Securing It Which Have Been
Adopted by the Committee.
The commissioner of direct taxes APP
pointed by Governor Mckinney for the city
of Richmond, wherein to distribute the
money refunded by the Federal Govern
ment, Colonel w. Z. Smith. has laid down
the following rules for his guidance IN pay
ing out the money refunded Tor direct
taxes:
First. He is not authorized by law to pay
ont anv part of this fund except to the par
ties who owned the land at the time the
tax was paid and who paid the tax on the
same or to their representatives or COM
mittees.
Second. Where there is no executor or
administrators of an estate to which any
part of this fund may be due 1t will be
necessary for some one TO qualify before
such part can be collected as the commits
sioner cannot undertake to determine who
are rightful heirs.
Third. Persons claiming TO DO entitled to
collect any part of this fund as executors,
administrators or committees, must present
with their claims certificates of the clerks
of the courts of their qualification. and
also certificates showing that the persons
whom they represent we're owners OF the
land at the time the tax was paid.
Fourth. When the tax to be refunded
was paid by firm now ont of existence il
will be oollectable by any surviving men,
Der who can show his authority to collect
the debts of the concern. When there Is
NO surviving member the personal repre-
sentatiyes Of all the partners must join in
the receipts to the commissioner.
Fifth. When the tax was paid by cor
poration whose business has since been sue
ceeded to by another. or whose affairs have
been wound up in any way. the claimant
or claimants will have to furnish satisfac-
tory evidence to the commissioner that no

THE STATE or TRADE.
Conditions of Trade in Richmond and Otner
Portions of the Country.

The feature of the business world thlS
week is the stimulating effect on South
ern trade of the 1-2c. advance in the
price of raw cotton. Interior merchants
at the South are not generally pu!ihs
generously, but they are ordering OlleheI'
which is having Il splendid effect on pusi-
ness generally throughout the SCUM
The foregoing is reported TO Bradslreet
from Baltimore, Charleston, Atlanta,
birmingham and New Orleans, where,
with one exception, collections are I'M
proving as well. The prospect IS re-
ported unusually favorable ut Nashville,
Memphis, Dallas and Galveston, where
the distribution of staples Is steady.
Prices of Louisiana rice have been de-
moralized by heavy arrivals
The price of pig iron is 2Jc. higher Tor
spot orders ut Cincinnati, but few other
markets report sales at the advance.
The iron and glass industries at Pitts
burg are well employed, and Eastern
cotton mills continue as extraordinarily
active as heretofore Hides are weak,
and some upper feathers lower in price
Petroleum too, shows tendency TO
lower quotations. At Louisville the to-
bacco and whisky markets are firm.
Bank clearings of siXty-one cities In
the United States for the past nine
months aggregate 45,49S,5l2,000, an
increase of almost 10 per cent. rs com
pared with the like total for 1891.
There were 1913 business failures in
the United States this week as reported
to Bradstreet's. In the week year ago
the total was 80, but last week it was
only 1913
At the London wool sales competition
has been keen and prices have been firm
thus tending to strengthen quotations on
this side. Only 1000 bales have thus
far been secured for the United States.
Local trade as reported to Bradstreet's
for the current week shows that orders
for dry goods, boots and shoes, fancy
and heavy groceries and hardware are
active. as is also manufactured tobacco
though in this line a tendency is noted
among Southern dealers to buy in small
quantities and order more frequently.
General collections are good. showing
an improvement over the previous week,
and prospects are conceded To be brighter
