One Of CIeyeland's Pensioners.

John G. Black, democrat, and brave
soldier, made affidavit that he was a
physical wreck " from wounds re-
ceived in the army, and was awarded
the highest pension rate allowed in
such cases. General Black was able to
hold a $4,000 office under the first
Cleveland administration, and display
great activity in political conventions in
his party's and Mr.. Cleveland's cause.
He was never suspended from the pen
sion roll and continues to draw his por-
tion-and rightly, too.-Utica Herald,

My chartered comrade is the stainless beam;
My bed is made beside some old oaks column;
My goblet is the stream.
Whole years are mine In this msjes dwelling,
Where Nature yet frowns back the sounding mart
What waves of life forevermore are swelling
Their rapture through my heartl
But not for these wander DER the mountains,
And not for these dare the hurricanes
And not for these quaff the virgin fountains
prince Of hill and plain
OH mighty meanings from the mountains hoaryl
All natural objects DER me soemnly roll;
These give the longed.for prize and sacred glory
Unto my pilgrim soul
Anaid the beautiful, the strange the holy places,
With Joy is mine to measure all the spaces,
And find the prints Of Him
Yon long, long river, like an anthem pouring;
yen thoughtful silence Of the lonely mere.
Yon eagle, to the sun diviney soaring
All. all have meanings here.
To fad and read them Is my Joy and duty;
Thea hail, ye boundless scenesl forevermore;
How well drink and drink your perfect beauty
Upon the virgin shorel
OH give me welcome, every woodland solemn,
And long sweet plain and mountain. piling sod;
For pass by each stately forest.coumn

OUR BOYS And GIRLS,
A Poem-Letter from Phillips Brooks.


In the August Century is printed collec.
ton of delightful letters from Phillips
Brooks to the children Of his family. The
following was written to daughter OF Rev.
j. G. Brooks, on the p. and o. steamship
Verona, near Suez, March 10, 1888:
Litie Mistress Josephine:
Tell me, have you ever seen
Children half as queer as these
Babies from across the seas?
See their funny little fists
See the rings upon their wrists;
One has very little clothes
One has Jewels In her nose;
And they all have silver bangles
On their little heather ankles.
In their ears are curious things,
Round their necks are beads in strings,
And they Jingle az they walk,
And they talk outlabdish talk.
One, you see, has Rugged another,
Playing she's its little mother,
One, who sits all lone and lori,
Has her head all shaved and shorn.
Do you want to know their names2
One is called Jeefungee Hames;
One Buddhanda Arrich Bas
One Teedundee HANK Sas.
Many such as these saw
In the streets of old Jeypore.
They never seem to cry or laugh.
But sober as the photograph,
Squatted in the great bazaars,
While the Hindoos, their mammas,
Quarreled long about the price
OF their little mess of rice;
And then, when the fight done,
Every mother, one by one,
Up her patient child would whip,
Set it stradding on her nip,
And trot off all crooked and bent
To some hole where, well content,
Hers and babys days spent.
Aren't you glad then, little queen,
That your name is Josephine?
That you live in Springfield, or
Not, at least, in old Jeypore?
That your Christian parents
John and Hattie, Pa and Ma?
That you've an entire nose
And no rings upon your toes2
In a word, that Hat and you
Do not have to be Hindoo?
But thought you'd like to
What these little heather be,
And give welcome to these three
From your loving uncle p

Execution Before Trial.

The official figures show that more
than 5000 pensioners have had their
payments suspended, without trial or in
vestigation, or even word of warning,
but simply on the chance that some of
of them may turn out to be fraudulent.
The policy involves cruel suffering
and is without justification. - Boston

The Family.

Fathers and mothers, whatever may
be your duties in the world, keep the
better part of yourselves for your family.
Be sure that in neglecting it you neg
lect an essential, and that the services
you render elsewhere are neutralized
by the injury you do at home. 1t is
family by the tender ties of joy and
sorrow Make the family pleasant for
the children. Make the nest warm,
but be at the same time judicious. Be
good, yet firm; loved, yet respected
Be neither violent nor foolishly indul-
gent. Have none of that tyrannical
love which stiles individuality and kills
the will. May the family and the
hearth never lose their power of at.
traction and development! Keep the
confidence of your sons as long as pos
sible. Make them feel the need and
pleasure of confiding in you by the tact
with which you hear them. How we
must pity those who have no family, or
towards whom the family has not done
its dutyl But let us not lift that veil:
we should have before our eyes too
hopeless world. Young men, do not
relax your family ties. Be your
fathers and mothers little children,
even when you are yourselves fathers.
1t is so good to feel oneself child, and
the more one grows and the older one
gets, the more good it does one. The
strongest men are those who have best
loved their mothers. When we love
and respect her who brought us into
the world, we are very near respect for
all women. And when we respect our
fathers moral authority, happy in being
able to show our hlial feeling, we have
a coed basis for respecting all authority
Honor thy father and mother. This
twofold law of respect-for woman in her
motherhood and for man in his moral
pre.eminence - must be considered
as an indispensable foundation of hui
man solidarity and of good, just life.
Let US strengthen our souls by contact
with these elementary principles, these
simple and holy truths, which become
more widespread the farther from
childhood we see them, and which, even
though our hair be white, we must

DEMOCRATIC SEASON.

As regards sheep deals and shipments.
the season is virtually at an end, and
sheep men are now preparing to enter

history of Montana sheen raising.
Emerging from last winter with their
tiocks weakened and terribly reduced in
numbers. the wool growers experienced
a second disaster in a miserably small
iambing. The wool clip, too, was light,

the clip was brought to market. the fear
of democratic interference sent the price
Of wool a tumbling down. and this de-
preston was intensified by the refusal
Of manufacturers to buy until the lowest
free trade price was assured.
The depreciation OF sheep and wool

10000 sheep; from all northern Montana
over 100000 head. This represents moi
Ieas than 100000 lost to northern Mon

prices. Heretofore the sheepmen have
becn among the most liberal spenders Of
money in the state. Now the result Of
their enforced economy is being felt il
