o'clock. and when the Doctor did
not return at Z. his family began

a man passingover Morris creek

Doctor on the jagged rocks on
the shore of the stream fifty feet
below. An examination was
made which showed that there
had been a severe struggle on.
The bridge and that the doctors
coat had been torn in several
ulaces. also that he had been
struck with some blunt instru-

upon the rocks had left hardly a

An Old 'I'ranp.

n wcather-bcaten old man who
claimed to be the @King of Tramps,"
having tramped for fifty years, stroll
ell into the INDEPENDENT office this
morning and, while musing over the
incidents Of his past life, sat down at
the editorial table md dashed oil the
following bit Of poetry:
THE DIsENCHANTMENT OF AGE.
I'd like to know why this ubiquitous
cry,
That the hearts of the aged become
stintcd and dry,
Lifc's beauties dissolve, and indif-
ference evolve,
And manhood's blithe feelings To cold
ness resolve
read it in tales.
In biographers' walls.
Through the multiplex volumes OF
letters it sails.
'Tis "A libelous thought, the cynic
hath wrought.
Who triilcd i'll youth and in age gath
cred naught--
Who laid not i'll store, wise knowl-
edge and lore,
But danced To the song of that siren
Of yore,
Till baiilcd hope sped.
And the siren had fled,
And left him an empty and hoary
old head.
lis true, there's much sadness and
little Of gladncss,
AS more we discover life's follies and
madness.
And witness each friend with the
elements blend,
And learn well TO ponder life's sure
coming end.
Yet philosophy teaches
In its ultimate reaches.
Each atom place finds j. mansions
or riches.
! grant that the old in some pas
siOns are cold.
Those subjct to barter. to be purch-
ascd or sold.
But the true gems Of life, possessed
not of strife.
Tho gems of right thought and won
dcrs of life.
All, these never pail,
Though we tottcr and fall.
In the midst of a world full of
wormwood and gall.

A Modern Jonah.

London Culver is responsible for
this unlikely story. People OF the
tree-thlnking class often dispute the
story OF Jonah and the whale, not SO
much on account of its improbabllity,
as because it is in the Bible. They
declare that the whale never lived
that could swallow man, but such
persons should remember that the
word whale rs used in Holy Writ
referred to any large species of fish.
Not long since shark and sailor in
the Mediterranean Sea re e.enacted the
part OF Jonah and the whale to per
lection. The man fell overheard, and
instantly disappeared in the mouth of
a monster shark. The captain fired
a gun Mt the beast from the deck. and
as the shot plowed through its back.

rescued, perfectly unhurt, butso bad
