THE HOUR OF PEACE.

Upon the doorstone sat the vile,
The twilight falling,
And far below the whippoorwil!s
Were softly calling.
The sweet winds dropped upon their way
Their honeyed plunder,
And slow and clear the night built up
It's house of wonder.
Within the child dreamed deep. and saw
Four angels keeping
Their gentle watch with dropping winSt
About his sleeping.
While singing from the steep below,
Where shadows slumbered,
Ger true love climbed, and in his heart
His treasures numbered.
And sighing family to herself :
With purest pleasure, :.
Life brimming at her lips to full,
O'erfowing measure,
She marveled If the happy earth, ,
This summer even,
We're not the paved work laid before
The courts Of heaven.
And yet cold wind from the cloud
To snatch in blowing
The little breath between the lips
So lightly flowing;
A pebble under foot where sheer =
The rock descended

Her heaven suspended!

Judgment as to the value Of a rich mans
estates may not be so far out Of the
way, Notwithstanding the popular be-
lief that the newspapers are prone to
pXaggerate in these matters. After
the death Of Jay Gould the newspapers
kindly took a hand at the business Of
posting his books and striking a bal
ance for the benefit Of their readers.
The result Of this arithmetic was the
concurrent journalistic opinion that Mr..
Gould had left about S72,000,oG0 and
some odd cents. Now it appears that
the newspapers did not place too large
value on the estate, but, according to
the figures Of Appraiser Mcclure, un-
derestimated it by nearly $4,000, 900,
the actual value being SS0,G64, ,5SO.79,

The surgeon then takes the probe Il
the right hand, puts the ear piece to his
ear, and gently presses the probe
through the delicate tissues Of the brain
until 1t touches the foreign body, bone
or bullet, as it may be- The minute
this contact is accomplished quite a
