Tim CampbeIl's Speech.

Congressman Tim Campbell is one
of the Tammany representatives. He
is not great orator, nor does he lay
claims 10 great craftsmanship, but he
is popular in his district, and that II
enough for him. So far as known he
has made just one campaign speech,
and that one still lives in memories Of
his friends. This speech has become
famous 1t was delivered when
Campbell first launched himself upon
the turbulent sea of national politics
by making race for Congress in one
OF the Irish districts OF New York city.
An Italian named Rinaldo was his
opponent in the campaign, aud Camp
bell made "A speech on the national
and loca! issue" Here is Tim speech
in full:
There are two bills before the
country-the Mills bill and the Nc
Kinley bill The Mills bill is for free
trade, with everything free; the Nc
Kinley bill is for protection, with
nothing free. Do YOU want every
thing free or do you want TO pay for
everything2
Having thus disposed Of the ma
tional issue | will now devote myself
TO the local issue, which is the Dago
Rinaldo. He is from Italy. | ain
from Ireland. Are you in favor OF
Italy or Ireland?
Having thus disposed Of the local
issue and thanking you for your at
teution | will now retire.
The speech must have been very ef-
fective, for Tins majority was II, 900.

At one time il japanese girl
married a foreigner she was instantly
decapitated. A Portuguese gentleman
whom we met in Yokohama related
his experience in this direction. tie

in love with japanese girl. Her
parents warned her Of the fatal con-
sequences. OF marrying him. He was
Young and ardent and she romantic.
III you agree to marry me | will die

Then will marry you, die or live, ,
the pretty maiden said.
He was Catholic aud had promised
his parents not to marry out OF his
religion.
"Willyou join the church, heasked.

together
They eloped and visited the nearest
priest who advised them against their
fatal marriage, but TO nopurpose.

and married all in the same day, said
the priest.
she must, said the lover.
Il must, ,aid she, FOR we both die
tomorrow morning.
The priest waived few customary
rules TO tit the occasion and per
formed three ceremonies at once,
and then iuterceded for the brides
life. The Mikado decided that he
could not behead the Portuguese, but
the girl should die. The priest warned
him, saying: she is now Portuguese,
too, aud you would better postpone
the dccapitation until you confer
with the Portuguese government
Time was granted. The priest per
suaded The Portugess government
demanded.
After correspondence which lasted
five years and in which the British.
American, aud other counsels or rep
resentatives took much interest. the
young woman was permitted to live.
Mr.. LaRoso, the happy husband, Is
now in business with IA family sur
founding him.
He, il is stated, is the first European
who dared to marry Japanese.

AFTER AWHILE.

After awhile, we often say,
When shadows fall and clouds arise,
There's sure TO come brighter day,
With balmy air and sunny skies.
After awhile a day OF rest
VIII come TO worn and weary feet;
What seems the worst will prove the best,
And bitter things be turned TO sweet.
After awhile the aching heart
VIII find cordial for its pain;
And as the flying days depart
The JOY love will come again.
After awhile the right viii reign,
And conquered wrong will lose its sway;
While ancient errors Icy chain
VIII break and slowly melt away.
After awhile the clashing creeds,
That lead to strife and hate with men,
VIII yield to our superior needs
And love viii prompt the lipand pen.
After awhile the golden hours
VIII come with lies supernal days,
And higher thoughts and uobler powers
VIII lead us into gTander ways.

MISS GWYNNE'S BURGLAR.

In the heart of Wales, nesting be-
tween two dark frowning mountains,
and lulled to drowsy indifference of
the big outside world by the murmurs
of the not far distant sea, stands
the little village of CGd-y-Glyn.
Just outside the village, on the
main road. staDds-or did stand ten
years ago-an old stone house in the
middle of a large garden, which was
surrounded on all sides by high
wall, also Of stone. 1t was the pride
of the owner, Miss Gwynue.
One night, in the early spring of
the year. there was to be wedding
ar Cmd-y-Glyu-a wedding in humble
life, but anticipated with great gIee
10y the invited guests, among whom
were Miss Gwynne's servants, the
coachman and his wife (who was also
cook and Viva, their daughter, EN-
ployed as n maid-ofall- work.
knowing the disappointment it
would be to them if they We're denied
the pleasure eofattending the wedding,
she had declined the coachman's offer
to remain with her, allowing his wife
and daugh'er to 20, and Iaughingly
assured him that with her fathers
gun for company she feared nothing
Miss Gwynue retired at an early
hour, having locked up the house.
She lay for some time gazing
through the window at the twinkling
stars, lost in quiet retrospection.
will let Miss Gwynne tell the rest
of the story in her own way, repeating
as we'll rs | can from memory the
words a. / heard them from her lips
ten wears ago.
