SOWING AND REAPING.

For bloom we SOW one sort of seed, Another answers hunger's need. Weeds only propagate their kind, But leave abundant seed behind, Which, if you scatter needless, know, You're sure to reap just what you SOW. A youth, industrious and pure, With noble akns. is promise sure Of proud achievements heritage, Of worthy manhood, honored age, And, doth the harvest ripen slow, You're sure to reap just what you SOW. Alas! youth often is too blind
 To see the needs of heart or mind. A wilderness of tares appears Sure fruitage of the wasted years. From evil seed good will not grow. You're sure to reap just what you SOW. Helen A. Woods in Good Housekeeping.

swift's Army Starts.

BOSTON, April 23-Seldom has the Bos- ton Common been the scene of such vast concentrated gathering as that which as- sembled there to witness the departure of the Boston delegation of the unemployed for Washington, where they hope to join Coxey's army and assist in the appeal to congress. By the time Morrison I. Swift stepped onto the improvised platform there were 25, 600 persons present, and soon after the meeting got into working order fully 35,000 were gathered around the band stand.
 After the meeting had been in progress some time and the tactics of the crowd seemed to be getting the upper hand of the promoters of it word was sent to the police headquarters, and platoon of 35 extra men made their appearance among the crowd and had the effect of stopping all horse play. During the meeting Mir Swift submitted letter to be sent to President Cleveland, which was adopted by ''yes" that could easily have been heard a mile away.
 At this point there was conference be- tween the leaders while one of them was speaking, and as result those who have enrolled themselves in the delegation were told to slip away quietly and meet at Rox- bury crossing, where Major General Fitz- gerald would meet them and march to Dedham, where they intended to stop. The immense crowd did not know what had been decided upon and made a break for Fremont street, where they expected the men to pass. They waited in vain, however, as an hour after the order was given 45 men, headed by Leader Fitzger- aid and carrying the yellow flag, were marching toward Jamaica Plain

For the information of DR.. Mcknight
we must say that he is decidedly
mistaken in crediting n1isstatements of
any kind to this paper in regard to the
Eckley epidemic. Only once has the
matter been referred to in these columns,
when the following local item was pub
lished:
An epidemic of scarlet fever prevails
at Eckley, and six deaths have occurred
among the infants of the town. They are
principally children of the Hungarian
residents.
This, compared with the doctors
report, is sufficient proof that the TRI-
BUNE has not exaggerated the facts, and
under the circumstances we respectfully
decline to be numbered among those
newspapers of the region which DIR.
Mcknight accuses of making misstate-
ments. Ed.
