The Ola Hen Wont Too.

boy was the owner Of q Little bantam hen

why, Johnny, Just thinkof your chick

JUST COMMON FOLKS.


A hundred humble sougsters tril
The notes that to their lays belong.
Where just one nightingale might fill
The place with It's transcendent song,
And thus Fate comes, and with is snils
A soul with lasting greatness elosks
And leaves a thousand else the while
To be for aye just common folks.
IfOnly sweetest bells were rung.
How We should miss the minor chimes
IT only grandest poets sung
There'G be no humble little rhymes
The modest elinging vines add grace
Unto the Forests giant oaks,
And mid esrth's mighty is place
To people with just common folks.
Not they the warriors who shall win
Upon the battlefield name
To sound above the awful din:
Not theirs the painters desthless fame,
Nor theirs the poets muse that brings
The rhythmic gin his soul invokes;
There's but 10 do the simple things
That duty gives just common folks
They are the mulutudes OF earth,
And mingle ever In the crowd,
EibOwing those OF equal birth,
Where none because Of caste is proud,
Bound by the meshes Of fate
That sometimes 8 decree revokes,
Above the loWly, meath the great,
Are millions Of just common folks.
Fate has not lined them above
The level Of the human plain;
They share with men brother love,
In touch with pleasure and with pain.
One great, far-reaching brotherhood
With common burdens, common yOkes,
And common wrongs and common good,
Gods army Of just common folks.

A Valuable Lantern.

A will written with pencil on a shin
gle was once admitted to probate in the
United States. The author Of Gossip
Of the Century" tells a story still more
curious. Two British soldiers. COM
rades while talking over the chances Of
war on the eve Of a battle, agreed that
whichever Of them survived the other
should inherit all his possessions. To
insure the carrying out Of their sgree-
ment, they made their Wills As paper
and pens were not at hand, they scratch
ed their ''last will anditestament' on a
horn lantern with a rusty nail The
battle vas fought, and one Of the COM
rades killed. The other man, in course
Of time, returned to England, carry ing
with him the singular document. he
took it 70 the Doctors Commons, where
it was proved and allowed. Then it
appeared that the poor fellow who had
died in battle had, without hearing Of it,
inherited property yielding TWO hundred
pounds a year, and the legatee under the
harn-Iantern will receive the Inherit
ance.

He Felt the Bullets Strike.

That was a good story which the Rev.
C.J. X. Jones, of Louisville, told in a
Boston pulpit the other day. He said
AN alarmist always reminds me Of a
friend Of mine who was commander
at the battle Of Round Mountain. 1t
was hot ight-one of the hottest Of the
war. At a particularly intense part Of
the action my friend stood beside his
horse scanning the field with his glass
and directing the troops. lie told me
it seemed as if the fire Of the whole Con-
federacy was centered on him, the bull
lets flying thick around him.
Suddenly he heard MIME ball sing
ing in the air and he felt something
strike his leg. But the occasion was
urgent and he kept up his glass. There
was another 'ping-g-g,' and he felt
another strike. Aud so it continued.
The Captain at last lifted up his hand
and prayed:
"'O, Lord, I can 90 home 10 my wife
and family without either Of my legs,
bat, o, Lord let me get home
Finally there came the shouts Of
victory. The battle was won. With a
long drawn sigh the Captain turned.
He shouted to his orderly at little dis
tance, Pm wounded, jim. Come and
help me on my horse; must 90 home.
It's my last battle.
"No, guess not, replied the orderly.
What's the matter? Come, hurry
up. I'm wounded.
"If you want me to help you, come
here, sang out the orderly.
".But what's the trouble? Why can't
you come here2 Don't you see I'm
wounded and almost dying%
40, no, you're not, sang out the or
DERBY again.
~'Come here instantly, you rascal
shouted the commander.
"'No, I don't that's the biggest nest
ofyellow jackets there 1 ever saw in my
Hfe,' was the final laughing reply Of the
orderly.
The stOrming swarm of hornets were
the only mimic balls that had struck
him. ."-BOg0a Journal
