TINE FlS HER.

With gentle feet and peaceful heart
He goeth by still ways;
The worlds ambitions lure him not
From many streams and bays;
He holds gold cheap to whom God sends
The wealth of quiet days
He VANDERBILT where silent groves
Stand dark on the silent SHORES;
Where specks of straying sunlight fall
Slow. splash his lazy oars,
And woodland hreezas bear TO him
Sweet gifts from Natures stores.
Grandly from cut the eastern sea,
With white cloHd sails uufurlel,
He sees the mighty feet of day
Steal on a sleeping world,
While from tho strand deep broadsides
boom,
Where the white surf is hurled
Where all the worlds loud noise is hushej
And only breezes sigh,
Where peacefully and aimlessy
The white clouds sail the sky,
There dreamsth he, and on the world
Looks with a placid eye.
To him, his evening comes where winds
Blow softly on reeled shore.
While softly like requiem sounds
The distant oceans roar,
While on his sleep the silent stars
Look down forever more.

favorable conditions occurred than during the

Domestic trade gradually improves, even
at the South, where much Of the trouble
seems to have been due TO the unwillinguess
of holders to sell cotton at low prices, rather
than to actual loss on such sales. Supplies OF

A Democratic Joke.

There are a vast number of mirth pro-

given the country foreign policy CONSTANT

The situation at Homestead has cleared
up wonderfully since the arrival of the
troops. II must not he assumed, however,
that the troubles there are by any means
over. Much will depend upon the course
of action pursued by the company. The
strikers are armed and desperate. They
will undoubtedly resist vigorously any at
tempt that may be made to operate the
Homestead mills with non-union men.
They may very likely defer any beginning
of hostilities until after the
troops are Withdrawn but it is
improbable that the state of Pennsylvania
will maintain force of militia there for
any great length of time at an expense of
sa2 900 per day When the troops are gone
the power will be once more in the hands
of the strikers. The whole country is
anxiously watching this unfortunate affair.
aud the hope is general that the differences
between the firm and its men may soon he
adjusted and work resumed.
