THE WATER MILL,

Listen to the water mill
All the liyelong day
How the cliIking Of the Wheel
Wears the hours away.
Lenguidly the autumn wind
Stirs the greenwood sheaves,
And memory Ger my mind
As spell is cast
me mill will never grind
Win the water that is past
Take the lesson 10 yourself,
Loving heart and true.
Golden years are fieeting by;
Youth IS passing too
Strive 10 make the most Of life;
Lose no happy day.
Time will never bring you back
Chances swept away.
Leave no tender word unsaid,
Love while love shall last
The mill will never grind
With The water thIt IS past
WORK while yet the daylight shines,
Man Of thought and will.
Never does the streamlet glide
Useless by the mill
Wait not til tOmorrows sun
Beams upon your way.
Al that you can call your own
Lies in this-to-day.
Power, intellect and health
May not always last
The mill can not grind
with the water that is past

There is one business man in New

but celery. He is probably the only
man dealing exclusively in celery in
the United States, perhaps in the
world. He has been 10 the business
eight years, and has built up a large

Paul Morton took the bottle and
glass to the window. As he stood
there he was on! Of the observation
Of the patient. He poured out the
quantity required Of the cordial into
the glass; but after doing so, he slyly
added small quantity OF powder
from a paper which he drew from his
vest pocket He put the paper back,
and re-appeared at the bedside hold
ing the glass in his hand.

constrained, and there was a pallor
about his face.
The sick man noticed nothing OF
this. He took The cup and drained it
Of its contents, as matter of course.
Thank you, Paul" he said.
Paul Morton could not find any
thing to say in reply to the thanks
which fell upon his soul like a
mockery. He took the glass from
the trembling hand of the sick man,
and looked into it 10 see if in the
depths there might be any tell-tale
trace Of the powder which he had
dropped into it; but he could see
nothing.

Perhaps so; l will try" was the
answer.
Paul Morton left the sick chamber,
and shut himself up in his own

that he had taken the fatal step,
and that already, in deed, as well as
IL heart, he was q murderer!

What Mayor Paddock Says Of the
Squantum Clubs Reception.

Among the most companionable and
delighted participants in the compliment
tary dinner at the Squantum Club ten
dered to Governor Hogg aud the Texan
delegation last week, was Mayor Paddock
of Fort Worth. He mas arrived home
and in relating his Impressions and ex-
periences while on the tour of the North
ern cities, he pays the following compli-
ment to the Squantum Club in an
interview with a representative OF The
Associated Press:
"Everyw here we we're treated with the
utmost difference and were made to feel
at home, What was perhaps the most
pleasant experience OF the % days trip was
our banquet at Providence with the Squan-
tum Club. / tell you we were treated
like sovereigns, and this generous hos
pitality of the old ante bellum style will
never be forgotten by those who were so
fortunate as to be along" Mayor Pad
dock, 1T will be remembered, was asked
to make speech at the
banquet and it was limited
that brevity was the proper thing. He
said in his remarks that he had timed the
Mayor OF Providence who had talked
IL minutes. Based upon the COM
parative territorial capacity OF the
city Of Roger Williams with
the jurisdiction he represented, he
was entitled to 4 days, IL hours and 80
minutes, and he proposed to utilize the
entire time. He made witty and felicit-
Gus speech, and was pronounced the prince
of good fellows.

ACTION IN CONGRESS.

wAsHINGToS, July 14.-The rapid prog
ress which the Senate is making on
appropriation bills will soon leave that
body to take up and discuss any other busi-
ness that may come before 1t. On the
bills that have passed thus far, there has
been little or no debate.
Most of the time there has been much
less than a quorum in sight, and only
the sub committee in charge of q bill and
those who may have been interested
In certain features of it, have been
present and taking any part in the pro-
ceedings. 1t is said that when the appro-
priation bills are out of the way and the
tariff comes back in the Senate, the
debate will be more brisk. IL the
Senate bill should be materially changed
in conference, there are several Senators
who are expected to draw from theil
desks some very long undelivered speeches
which would be used to prevent fina
action by the Senate.
