speaking of bad Breaks" said the law
! yer, Jack Berkeley, friend of mine, was
telling me the other night of an experience
of his which he looks upon as a record
breaker
He was attending college during the
time that Professor Stowe occupied chair
ut Bowdoin, and one stormy night the
learned gentleman, being loath to leave his
comfortable quarters, asked Jack if he
wouldn't go down to the station to meet
Mrs. Stowe
Jack didn't know the lady, but he will
ingly accepted the honor of escorting SO
great a celebrity as Mrs. Harriet Beecher
Stowe and fastened down through the
snow and sleet to wait for the train.
After time he presented himself before
the professor without the expected guest.
"'Where is shef' demanded that gentle
man.
"'She didn't come, sir said Jack.
"'Oh, but l know she did. She wrote me
she was coming, and Mrs. Stowe never dis
appoints me- was the very positive answer
But, sir protested Jack, there was
only one person got off the train, and that
was an old Irish woman
"'Strange,' unused the professor. What
can have happened to herr
AT that moment there was n knock at
the door, and Mrs. Stowe entered.
"'Ahar exclaimed the professor glee-
fully. There you arel l sent this young
gentleman down for you, and he protested
you did not come
~ think l remember seeing him, too, )
said Mrs. Stowe.
Poor Jackl The cold perspiration stood
upon his brow. He had taken the immor-
old Irish woman.
He stammered out something and fed.
He never could look Professor Stowe in the
face after that"
Mrs. Stowe never cared much for DRESS"
said woman present. II dare say, as 1t
was stormy night, she had paid less at
tention than usual to her personal appear
ance.
"A friend of mine who knew her very
well one day asked her if she preferred
white stockings to colored ones She spoke
of it because Mrs. Stoves white hosiery
was very noticeable with her black gown.
No said the author, Il don't know
that do
You are wearing white today said my
friend
mot at ALL said Mrs. Stowe, putting
out a foot clothed in black stocking.
But the other foot has white one
persisted my friend.
Mrs Stowe quickly investigated.

Train wreeklng In massachusetts.

II it be true, as statistics indicate, that
more attempts to wreck and rob railway
trains are made in Massachusetts than In
any other state, it is also probably true that
fewer of these attempts prove successful
than in any other state. The business at
best is "a bad one and ought, without I'M
necessary delay, to be effectually sup
pressed. Boston Manufacturers Gazette.

Joan of Arc.

Jeanne Pare was genius by her intrep-
i'd will. She had faith in her visions.
Her faith rested upon the immovable foun-
dation of numerous Authorizations having
the force of moral and intellectual impul-
sion, making her superior to those around
her Science can pronounce as to her in
sprations, but its Judgment does not di-
minish in the least the merit of her hero
ism. Jeanne was of the peasant class and
uneducated. According to her statement,
she first heard supernatural voices when
she was - years Old.-New York Times.

Prayer.
Thank God for life
Even though 1t brings much bitterness and
strife
And all our fairest dreams are wrecked and
lost,
Even though there is more i'll than good in life.
We cling to life and reckon not the cost.
Thank God for life
Thank God for love-
For, though sometimes grief follows In its wake
Still we forget loves sorrow In loves joy
And cherish tears with smiles for loves sweet
sake
Only in heaven is bliss without alloy.
Thank God for love.
Thank God for pain.
No tear hath ever yet been shed in vain,
And in the end each sorrowing heart shall
find
No curse, but blessings, in the hand of pain.
Even when he smileth, then is God most kind
Thank God for pain.
Thank God for death.
Who touches anguished lips and stills the
breath
And bringeth peace unto each troubled breast
From which all grief hath fownp Oh, blessed
death!
Gods sweetest gift! The name In heaven h
Thank God for death.

people on the earth. Not only do they
never wash, but when once full growth has
been attained they never take their clothes
off. When the garments they wear become
old, Others are put over them.

The Bore.

Again / hear the crcaking stepl
He's rapping at the door!
Too well know the boding sound
That ushers in bore.
l do not tremble when meet
The stoutest of my foes,
But heaven defend Inc from the friend
Who comes, but never goes.
He drops into my easy chair
And asks about the news,
He peeps into my manuscript
And gives his candid views.
He tells me where he likes the line
And where he's forced to grievel
He takes the strangest liberties,
But never takes his leave.
He talks about his fragile health
And tells me of his pains;
He suffers from a score of ills,
OF which he ne'er complains,
And how he struggled once with death
To keep the fiend at bay;
On themes like those away he goes
But never goes away.
He tells me of the carping words
Some shallow critic wrote,
And every precious paragraph
Familiarity can quote.
He thinks the writer did me wrong;
He'd like to run him through
He says thousand pleasant things,
But never says "Adieu!"

You say that love my life
Too well, and 1t may be so.

Its glamour, its CLEAN, its glow;
The mountains, the oceans wrath,
The tinfest stream that sings,
The robins that fit across my path,
The flash Of the eagles wings.

And glad when the day is done;
kiss my hand at the rosy morn
And smile at the setting sun.
The blossom will fall to dust
That wear on my breast today;
Tomorrow will give me roses just
AS fresh and fair and gay.
Loving my life SO well,
You. think must dread to go
To the strange beyond. Nay, nay, I tell
You, just as long to know
All the fullness that can betide
This life Of mortal breath.
All Joy and pain, since men have died
i, too, would taste of death.
1t is worth ones while to live
Just to look on the sea and sky;
And just to know what death can give
1t is worth ones while to die.

The disreputable methods to which
Mayor Volkmar is willing to resort in
order to vent his personal spleen against
any individual who may incur the dis
pleasure Of his Royal Highness, was IL
1ustrated in his frantic attempts to secure
candidate to run against Alderman
Saunders in the second ward. He at
tempted first to secure petition Tor
the candidacy of Charles Cannon, but
Mr.. Cannon, learning the true object in
view refused to allow his name to be
used. As the schemer discovered that
he could not secure the consent OF any
one to make the canvass, with his usual
audacity he had a petition circulated for
Mr.. Henry Schafer, without the knowl
edge or consent OF that gentleman, which
was filed with the clerk for publication.
Either Mr.. Cannon or Mr.. Schafer would
have been highly satisfactory and accept
able candidates tor the citizens OF the
second ward to support, but neither the
gentlemen themselves nor the people
of the second ward wish them to be
made the instruments to crafty the
personal spite Of the mayor. After Mr..
Schafer had his name stricken from the
list Of candidates, a petition was then
gotten out for Mr.. r. T. Rodgers, with
out that gentleman's consent, which as
soon as he discovered he also made haste
to repudiate.
