She had little Of earthly beauty;
She had less of earthly lore;
She climbed by path 50 narrow,
Such wearisome burdens bore!
And she came with heart a-trenibling
To the warden at heaven S door.
And said, ''There were hearts Of heroes F"
She said: "Tbere were hands of might.
I had only my little children,
That call TO me day and night.

Ana she bowed her head il silence,
And she hid her face in shame,

And sweotor than all heavens music,

There was quite an exciting time on
lower Main Street last Monday. A large
crowd had collected and 10 one at q dis
lance, it looked as II a few words would
precipitate a hot street fight. Two tall
brCad-shouldered men in the center OF
the crowd seemed TO be the principals
in the affair, judging from the manner
in which they were scoring each other
with their tongues. Excitement ran
high and when our reporter reached the
spot, his keen eye taking IN the situation
at a glance, the men had began to range
themselves ia two lines and wha, at first
seemed 10 be an ordinary scrap, now
threatened TO extend by the crowd
taking sides. What the outcome would
have been had not cooler heads inter
fered no one knows but i. is safe to say
that had the fight not been stopped, the
county would have been several votes
shy at the neIt election. The wrsngle
started over the Mask Ball bills which
Announce a st. Patricks Eve Dance, on
March 10, tomorrow night One of
the participants had made the statement
mat the date Was wrong on the bills,
while his opponent held the bills were
right. Our reporter explained the dir
ference between ~ patEirks Day and
st Patricks Eve and assured the crowd
that " they attended the dance they
would have a roval COOL time.

Cutters Get IL In the Neck.

The total imports of cutlery during
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1893, were
valued at 81, l56, 600, and this, too. when
the American manufacturers of cutlery
received from So to 90 per cent ad valo-
rem protection, or an average of 50 per
cent. The Wilson bill proposes to re-
duce this protection 70 As per cent, thus
openly increasing by 35 per cent the busi-
ness OF the foreign manufacturers. This
means a loss of IS per cent to wage earners
engaged IN making gallery, unless they
can induce all good Americans to bu
nothing but the American goods through
q patriotic interest for American indus
tries.

people to entertain themselves at an in

distinguish each other by seeing the
eyes alone. Pin 4 shawl across the door

If any one present possesses a talent
for drawing, the paper which is to serve
as a mask could be decorated with
mouth and nose, put on with a brush
dipped in india ink. This would add to
the grotesque appearance which the

When the paper is pinned above the
shawl, the company should ba divided
into two parties one to remain in the
room as spectators and guessers, and
the other to go behind the scenes
otherwise the shawl as performers. If
there are over half 4 dozen of tho latter,
a line should be formed. The one at the
head stands behind the mask SO that his
eyes are distinctly seen by those in the
room, ana another of the performers
asks:
"Who owns the eyes?''
If a correct response is given, the per
formers clap their hands Then the one
who has taken his turn goes to the foot
of the line and No. takes his or her
place behind the screen. After a time
the parties change places, and the fun is
renewed. London Tit-Bits.
