Twilight.

Across the silent mountains vague and brown,
flushing to quiet many distant town,
The night comes slowly from the far-oT sea-
beautiful dead day, sun kissed and flower
crowned,
My heart goes down into the dusk with theel
There's darkness in the valleys far and near
And darkness ON the Swallowed plain below,
And still the black and rugged mountains rise
Save where, against the deepening purple skies
Two rocky cliffs TRANSPORTED glow
While tender mothers clasping wee ones
Sing softly In the fadins light
Half Joy, half sorrow
Half fear against the unknown morrow
The river howeth through the night
And miages with the mothers singing
measured murmur slowly vinging-
The so56tag Of the river reeds and grasses,
The throbbing OF the river grass and reeds,
TIL every wind on restless wings that passes
Makes music through the troubled woods and
meads
The cricket's chirp is hushed and silent now,
The last bird note has died away.
mist is on the mountain brow,
And dull and gray, like the dead day,
The cedars dream the night away.
Farewell old day, the world forgets thee,
And countless more will be as fair,
But In my heart enshrined l hold thee,
In mem rvs depths keep and fold thee.
No other day thy crown shall wear.

A SHOCKING SURPRISE.


Capt. Bob Tells of Cats Adventure
with an Electric Fish.
"My papa says that last story you
told me, Capt. Bob, was not all true, -
said Willie, with an air Of surprise on
his bright, open face.
"Humph! he did, did hep" grunted out
the old captain, who told wonderful
yarns, while he objected to having them
questioned
Eyes; he said that you must have
made up the story" replied the boy,
rather timidly.
but you don't think the story was
made up, do your"
Willie looked puzzled The cunning
captain followed up his advantage by
saying; Il was going to tell you to-day
real, true story about some electrical
fishes. 1t is even more wonderful than
the last story, which your father says
is not all true. OF course, if you think
my stories are not true, you do not
want TO hear it,
DO tell me the story, Capt. Bob, !"
pleaded the anxious boy.
well" said the sly old fellow, as he
lit his pipe and settled back in his easv
chair, "one day, when we were in al
eastern port, a gentleman came to me
and wanted to know if he could send
some fishes by my ship on her return
voyage. He wore spectacles, and said
he was naturalist.
"At first | objected; but he said:
Captain. | am very anxious to send
some electric rays to "a scientific society,
which is willing to pay you a good
price for them. These rays are peculiar
creatures, and they have power To give
quite strong electric shocks. | don't
think you will have much trouble. All
the fish need IS pure ocean water twice
a day.
IAN right. said l; but mind, we are
not to be held responsible if the fish
die So. on the morning of sailing, the
electric rays were put into water
barrel, which was braced strongly on
either side on deck. square hole was
sawed through the slaves on the upper
side in order to give the fish light and air.
Some of the men were rather
skeptical about the rays giving out
electric shocks that amounted to any
thing | didn't know much about it
then myself; but l wasn't going to
try it.
''One sailor known as Billy Bow
legs thought he would see just how
strong the electricity was, So when no
one was looking, he leaned over, put
his hand down into the barrel and
moved it around in the water until he
caught one of the fish. The instant he
did that, Billy Strengthened up as
though he had been shot Then he
howled aloud 'Ohr lie felt his right
shoulder and shook his arm TO be sure
that both were there and all right.
What's the matter Billy? inquired
one of the sailors, who came up.
Sure, that was an awful blow he
gave me-
"'Who?'
1.-The fellow in there, said Billy,
pointing To the barrel
after this event the sailors were Shy
Of those electric fish When one of
the rays died | had 10 take it ont
myself with heavy glove on my hand,
and even then / felt singing shocks.
We used to roll the barrel on one side
and let the water run ont. Then wo
would fiji the barrel with fresh water
aud roll it back On almost every oc-
casion some of as would receive 4
shock
Now, Tom was curious fellow; he
was always provling around and polk
ing his nose into places where he had

Three Kisses.

Three Kisses.
The purest kiss
In the world is this
The kiss that a mother lays
On her child's fresh lips
AS he blithely trips
To meet the world and its ways
The sweetest kiss
IN the world Is this
The first long kiss of love,
When time is not,
And the earths forgot,
And Eden drops from above.
The saddest kiss
In the world is this
The kiss on unanswering clay,
" hen dead lips tell
We must sob farewell
Till the dawn of the judgment day.

FOR LITTLE PEOPLE.
HOW THE FLOWERS GROW.
From the German ]

From the German.l
Come, my child, and win tell you
How the little flowers grow,
To the meadows come, whore Nature
To the eye such wonders show.
On the ground the seed has fallen,
And the soil is DER It piled;
There it slumbers on securely,
Like a well-protected child.
Often in the arid weather
Gladly Il would drink receive;
Then God bids the Flower angel
Quickly go and moisture give.
And the angel downward flying
On the cloud his hand doth place,
And the rain falls Seeding drinketh,
And begins to swell Rpace.
Stretching TO the surface over.
Stretching to the depths below.
TIL shoot at top appeareth.
And the fine roots downward grow.
But a longer time it waiteth
In It's little chamber there.
Ere without IL dares 10 venture
To the sunshine and the air.
Never does u seem inpatient
In its solitary homo.
Like a loving child contented
TIL the fitting hour has coma
Then at last from earth Il peepeth,
Gazing on the SprfnRtime new,
And the soil from of II washes,
Bathing IN the cooling dew.
Now upon IL fondly gazing.
Blooming in It's beauty there.
Soon hear YOU gladly saying;
See this flower so fresh and fairi"
As with flowers. 80 with children,
When they grow up sweet and mia,
Every one around is saying:
''see that lovely little child"

CARTOON OF McKlNLEY's BILL.

An able weekly journal called Ameri-
can Industries, published in New York
and devoted to the discussion of eco
nOmic questions, has telling
cartoon this week. 1t H.
lustrates the effect of the
Mckinley bill on American wages. In
commenting upon the cartoon the paper
says:
"The subject of our cartoon this week
illustrates, in a pictorial way, the effect
of the infamous Mckinley bill on
American wage earners No sane man
will deny that it has pierced their very
vitals; that it has dismem bered the in
dustrial body and caused blood to flow
like water in the fair state of Peunsyl-
vania Like a great vampire this de-
testable Mckinley monster is sapping
the best blood of American manhood
it has stagnated industries; paralyzed
human progress, aud is fast working to
that poiut where great Industrial con-
vulsion will appal the civilized world,
compared tn which the French Revolu-
tion will be rs child's play. The pic
ture Is not oyerdrawn. The reality is
almost at our very doors. Downtrodden
labor exists today like great suppress
ed volcano under our fair Re-
public. The people, the masses
those who earn their bread by the labor
of their hands, are arrayed like great
overwhelming army against the favored
few the ouopolists-those who have
built up vast fortunes Of non-circulat.
ing capital through the patronage of
government. Some day the word will
be given to march, and then, perhaps
before the close of the nineteenth CEN
tury-perhaps on the Sth day of No
vember nextl-the people will possess
themselves of the government which is
theirs by rights, which was established
by them and for them, and which has
been wrested from them through the
greed for gain. Let us hope that this
coming revolution will be a peaceful
one; let us hope that our beautiful
land will not be devastated further by
plutocracy and class legislation; let ut
I hope that the signs of the times will
be read Alright by those who contro
