IF ! WE'RE FAIR.


IT / wcre fairl
II had little hands and slender feet,
If to my cheeks the color rich and sweet
Came ut word and faded at n frown;
II had clinging curls of FURNISHED brown;
IL had dreamy eyes aglow with smilcs,
And graceful limbs, and pretty girlish wilcs--
II were fair, Love would not turn aside
Life's path, so narrow, would be broad and
wide,
II wcro fair!
II were fairl
Perhaps like other madons might hold
A true hearts store OF tried and tested gold.
Love waits on Beauty, though sweet Love
alone,
II seems to me, for naught might we'll atone
But Benuty's charm is strong, and Love obeys
The mystic wtchery of her shy ways.
If were fair my years would seem 80 few;
Life would unfold sweet pictures to my Wow,
If were fairl
II were fairi
Perhaps the baby, with a scream of Joy,
To clasp my neck would throw away its toy,
And hide its dimples in my shining hair,
Bewilder'd by the maze Of glory therol
But now-0h, shadow OF young girls faco;
Uncolor'd lips that Pains cold finger ace!
You will not blame the child whose wco hands
close,
Not Cn the blighted bud, but ON the rosc
So rich and fair.
IF i were fairl
Oh, just little fair, with some soft touch
About my face to glory 1t much!
If no one shunn'd my presence or my kiss,
My heart would almost break beneath fts
bliss.
'Tis said each pilgrim shall attain his goal.
Aud perfect light shall ilcod each blinded soul
When days flush mergcs into sunsets bars,
And night Is here. And then beyond tho starr
shall be fair!
Edith Rutter in London Spectator.

At the poles, where all meridians con-
verge, there can be no natural standard
time, for it is every hour of the day at
once; but tho regulation of time at these
singular points has not yet become
burning question. Were the system of
time reckoning recommended by the
prime meridian conference carried ont
in its entirety, the minutes indicated on
all we'll regulated clock dials through
out the world would be the same at
given instant, but the hours would diff
fer at each Is degs. of longitude by steps
of one, twenty-four standards encircling
the globe. Thus, for example, at twenty
five minutes past noon Of the prime Tor
rather the zero) meridian, clocks 90 degs.
E. would show twenty-five minutes past
6p. m. QSh. 25m.); those 90 degs. W.,
twenty-five minutes past q. m. (oh.
25m.), and those at 1S0 degs., twenty
five minutes past midnight.
The zero meridian adopted by the
prime meridian conference is that of
Greenwich, and definite time stand
ards based on hourly intervals from this
starting line have been used since 1883
on the railways Of North America. The
continent is divided into strips of is
degs. III width, in each of which a sep
arate time standard prevails frem the
Gulf of Mexico to Hudson bay. Allan
tic time in the eastern province Of Can
ada and in Newfoundland shows 8 a.
m. at Greenwich noon; eastern time in
the Atlantic states of the Union marks
IA. m. at the same moment, while CEN
tral, mountain and Pacific time indicate
respectively 6, 5 and IA. IN. The merid-
ians which set the clocks across
America are those of GO, rs, 90, 105 and
120 degs. W.-London Nature.

THE STATE MILITIA.
Capt. Caziarc's Report Has Been Submitted

Capt. Caziarc's Report Has Been Submitted
and Is Encouraging.
The report submitted to the War De-
partment at Washington, a day or two
since, concerning the RHODE ISLAND Mill
tia in camp and their effectiveness, states
very plainly the points where the Militia
is deficient as we'll as praises the Brigade
where praise is due. Capt. Louis " Caz-
iarc, u S. A., who was the inspecting
officer, is man of wide experience hav
ing served as adjutant in several depart
ments, which makes his praise worth
more and his criticisms of greater weight.
He commends the patriotic purpose
which seemed to animate the men, the
neatness of their dress, the respect in
which they hold their officers and the
physical condition of the men.
Capt. Caziarc is free, however, in his
criticisms of what he sees amiss In the
Brigade, especially regarding their pro-
ficency in the setting up drill and target
with earnest drill and the latter is on the
way TO better showing through the law
which passed the General Assembly at
its last session.
The officers of the brigade are very
much pleased with the substance Of the
report, coming as it does from man OF
such wide experience, aod 1t will do a
great deal to encourage the citizen-sol-
diery OF the State, who are already very
enthusiastic over their own companies
and regiments ana over the new target
practice arrangements

THE PREACHERS TOPICS
Or. Horton Again Speaks on Labor's
Upward Struggle.
Al DISCUSSION OF LABOR.
Tho Rev. Dr. Emerson Speaks ON Gods
watchcare at the Chnrch of the Media
tor-The Rev. Mr. McBurncy's sermon
on the Subject OF Cholera.

The fourth in the series of discourses
on "Labor's Upward Struggle" delivered
BY the Rev. DIR. Horton at the Union Con-
gregational Church was listened to last
evening by large and appreciative con-
gregation. The subject of the discourse
was "The 1rrepressble Struggle and its
Eouities,n and it was exceedingly interest
ing throughout
The preacher took for his text Genesis,
tx, @: "Whoso sheddeth mans blood by
man shall his blood be shed; for in the
image OF God made he man"
1T Is inevitable that every thoughtful
man should struggle upward against his
present conditions. seeking those OF larger
freedom and dignity. 1t Is an everlast-
ing equity of equities written by the
Divine hand upon the nature OF man that
this struggle shall he irrepressible and
shall end In victory. Thousands do not
sec this but feel an unrest and move
blindly to get relief. Discomfort Is wide
spread through society.
''It Is the dumb, universal protest OF
the race against that wicked transposi-
material things are put up as having
dignity and value. But, as long as God
has His eyes upon man as the principal
thing, while men have their eyes on
Mammon as the principal thing, His
workings In society will antagonize theirs.
No man has ever waged successful war
fare against eternal equity.
No discussion of the origin OF strikes
can be accepted that does not recognize
this primal equity 1t is idle to look for
these causes in local differences and up
risings. Deep down below Is the one
parent cause that ever shapes its new
born progeny to meet the newborn case,
a. tat ~ tpt nf
than it does OF man.
In the light OF primal equity how do
we define 'laboring man? He is a
creature in the image OF God, under a
present necessity to labor for the sup
port of himself and his dependents. The
labor Is dignified because the end is
worthy. but must cease when the end Is
attained, else the man exists for the labor
and not the labor for the man. The next
equity is that hours of labor shall be as
few as possible and remuneration as
generous as possible. This cry Of the
working man need not be an expression
OF laziness or greed, but an honorable
struggle toward the emancipation of the
man.
'The whole contentious must obviously,
end in the question OF money. Many are
the financial inequalities that are declared
to exist. But are not capital and labor In
an enforced partnerships Can the one
get along without the other? Which is
the more important member of the firm?
Would labor be more important without
capital than capital without labor? Are
they not equal partners? Then is il equit-
able that one member of the firm should
take all the profitsS The laborer works
hard and gets cheap living the capital

and gets o much better living. Both
work, and a margin Of profit results.

Great Excitement In the Second District
Last Even ing.
There was considerable excitement in
the Second police precinct last evening
over the rumor that Dalton, the much
pursued man, had been captured and was
locked up in the station. Crowds Of ex-
cited citizens lowered near the station
and pushed and struggled in vain effort
TO get near the door.
Late In the afternoon yesterday, a man
was found wandering aimlessly about in
the woods near Gladstone avenue about
a mile from the station. The man could
not give a. satisfactory account of him
self and he was forthwith locked up to
await an Investigation. On his arrival at
the station 1t was suggested thvt he might
be Dalton. and like prairie fire the
news spread through the northern sec
tion OF the city. Officer Jerry" Rio
dan, one OF the posse who chased through
the Attleboro woods after the man, was
called in and stated that tho prisoner was
David Sidebottom. living in Manton. His
relatives were notified and later came to
to the station and identified him.

Is God slumberinp,

The Rev. DIR. G. ii. Emerson, editor of
the Christian Leader, delivered fine
sermon at the Church of the Mediator
yesterday morning on the "Watchcare of
God and His continual interest and super
vision of the affairs of this world" the
text being taken from Psalms CXXI., "a:
HE win not suffer thy foot to move, He
that keepeth thee will not slumber. Be-
hold He that keepeth Israel will not
slumber nor sleep"
The sermon alluded to the reign of evil
in the world at the present day and COM
pared IL with the former dark times
which had been succeeded by great reliQ-
ious awakings. 1t does seem ms IL Israel,s
keeper was slumbering. There rs less of
vital Christianity in the world to-day
than there has been at any time since the
Reformation.
We look for reason for this fact and
what is it 1t Is because of the domi-
nance of physical science. because people
conjure with the names OF Prof Tyndall.
Spencer and Huxley. The physical world
and its wonders have been made too prom
1nent and the fact is lost sight of that
the physical world and its wonders are
necessary as an environment of the De-
vino. Some time we shall see an awaken
ing OF the spirit so that we will realize
that the God of Israel never sleeps. but
that his purpose is to be accomplished at
the proper time. The God of the Universe
never really sleeps. Now, rs in the past.
God reigns in the armies of Heaven and
IN all things Is accomplishing his pur-
pose

A Hous eholder Talks of Complaining OF
the Policeman on Duty.
The officers and patrolmen in one of the
largest police stations in this city are
justly indignant and they speak with
considerable emphasis because OF a case
of unprecedented meanness that came to
their notice short time ago.
When many OF our citizens abandon
their homes here for the summer they
notify the police who have instructions
from their superiors to be duly vigilant
in guarding the deserted property. This
is done even without instructions. and
four times every 2f hours. the patrolmen
try the accessible doors and windows on
the front, rear and sides of the exposed
property. Often this precaution is not
unnecessary, aud much valuable protec-
ton is afforded.
An officer, who guarded house in this
manner during the past three mont hs
was surprised the other day to learn from
the householder, who had just returned,
that she intended to lodge complaint
against him at the station for trampling
down the grass around the house in
making his circuit In discharge of his
dutyi 1t Is not likely that much atten-
tion will be given to such q complaint, IL
