POETRY
WHEN WILL DEMOCRACY DIE!

When the lion eats grass like an OK,
And the fish worm swallows the whale
When the robins knit wooden socks,
And the hare is Outrun by the snail,
When serpents walk upright like men.
And doodle bugs travel like frogs,
When the grasshOpper feeds on the hen,
And feathers are found on hogs,
And Thomas cats swim in the air,
And elephants rOost on the trees,
When insects in the Summer are rare.
And snuf never makes people SneeZe,
When fishes creep over dry land,
And mules on bicycles ride,
When foxes lay eggs in the sand,
And women in dresses take no pride,
When Dutchmen no longer drink beer.
And girls get to preaching on time,
When billy goats butt from the rear.
And treason no longer is crime.
When the hummIng-bir brays like an
ass,
And Limburger smells like cologne.
AND plowshares are made out of glass.
And the heart of the true Texan s a
stone.
When ideas grow in Populists heads,
And wool on the hydraulic ram,
Then the Democratic party will be dead
Ana the country won't be worth q

HIS "DREssY" COSTUME.--This
story is told of the late Rev. DIR.
Ellis, who always contributed at least
his share of wit and wisdom to the
feast when he dined out. One very
warm day he went to dine informally
with friend, and arrived, comforta-
bic in thin coat, and on his head a
Manila hat. A celebrated orthodox
divine was also guest, and in the
intimacy of after-dinner chat, he
chaffed DR.. Ellis little about the
dressy" costume in which he had
chosen to appear. The Manila hat
was pierced with shafts of fun.
DR.. Ellis smilingly replied that he
would not have a word said against
that hat. It was good friend. He
had had it for four years.
Wonder was expressed that the hat
had lasted so long, and DR.. Ellis was
asked what made it so enduring.
"Well, it has been Calvinized,"
he declared.
His host, misunderstanding, asked
how in the world II hat could he gal
vanized, and DR.. Ellis, with a droll
look at the orthodox Andover pro-
fessor, said:

NUMBER 48,

| HIS FIRST CALL.-At the dinner
of the Paint and Oil Club of New
England, Mr.. Alex. S. Porter told
about youth in nearby city who
had reached AN age when his mother
thought he ought to go into society.
He was aditfident youth, and dreaded
the ordeal. But his mother insisted,
and told him that he must return the
call of certain prominent lady
| The youth dreaded it, and suggested
that his mother could take his card
when she went to call upon the lady,
and leave it, and it would answer
the same purpose. But no; his
mother declared that he must 90
alone. So he screwed up his courage
and started.
He thought it would help him out
a good deal if he took bouquet of
flowers to the lady, and he purchased
beautiful bouquet. But just as he
was about to approach the house, it
suddenly occurred to him that the
lady herself had a fine conservatory.
He tried to think of some way to get
over the blunder. Suddenly he re-
collected the saying about carrying
Goals to Newcastle" and determined
to make use of it. But as he rang
the bell the cold sweat began to ooze
from every pore, and when the lady
appeared in the recepti0n-room he
scarcely knew where he was at.
-I-th-thought," stammered
the embarrassed youth, "th-that L
| w-would b-bring you a b-bou-bou-
quet; b-but it's like c-casting p
pearls before s-S-swine."

IT was a pretty good story that
Bishop Potter told about the horse
car driver at the Episcopal Congress.
The said individual was a candidate
for the clergy, and 1t was necessary
for him to make application to the
bishop before he could pursue stud
les that would fit him for the same.
Why do you wish to enter the

4 Street Car Cat.
THE PET OF TIE CONDUCTOR AND
TIE PASSENGERS.

The street cars i'm Western city
have small stoves in the centre of
each car for the additional comfort
OF passengers in cold weather. The
driver on one of these cars had
reached the end Of his route one cold
day last November, and was chang
ing his horses from one end Of the
car to the other, when a half grown,
half starved and bedraggled looking
kitten came mewing across the road
and ran into the car. 1t Curled up
under the stove in great content
ment, and the kindhearted driver.
VINO was also the conductor, allowed
1t TO live under the stove during the
downtown trip. He begged a sau-
Ger OF milk for the little waif at the
other end Of the route, and after
lunch, for which she was manifestIv
grateful, kitty went back to her snug
place under the little stove, and dur
ing the next day she and the cOnduc-
tor became such good friends that he
LETT her in the car when he went off
duty that night.
lie did not put hor out the next
day nor at any other time, but fed
her every day, and before week
she became the pet of the public,
and quite an attractive card to that
branch of the road. She was "a
pretty, playful little gray and white
kitty, ard made friends with all the
passengers. The children played
with her, the ladies petted her, and
most of the men paid her some at
tention. One lady tied pretty
scarlet ribbon around kitty's neck,
and the next day another lady fas-
tened tiny bell to the ribbon.
AS for things to eat, kitty has
them in variety and quantity enough
to make dyspeptic of her. During
single trip she had gifts of a choice
bit Of raw steak offered her by an
old lrishman on the car, a big oat-
meal cracker and some gum drops
presented by little girl, lump of
loaf sugar, lime, a sandwich, some
peanuts, and a link of sausage.
Kitty, when l heard from her
last, was the most happy, contented
and petted little puss imaginable.
When the weather is fine she often
rides out on the platform with the
driver who has been such true
friend to her, and whose conduct is
proof of the fact that there is a
kindly, generous heart beneath his
rough garments.

Booth and the Lords Prayer.

The Southern Chrchman of the
4th inst. prints most interesting
anecdote of the elder Booth, the
great tragedian, which it says it does
not recOllect to have before seen in
print. The anecdote was printed
many years ago, and if memory
serves us correctly the old gentle.
man who had invited Booth to dine
with him was Quaker. We give
the anecdOte as published by the
Churchmdn. 1t is as follows:
Booth and several friends had
been invited to dine with an old gen.
tleman in Baltimore of distinguished
kindness, urbanity and piety. The
host, though disappearing of thea
tres and theatre-going, had heard so
much of Booths remarkable powers
that curiosity to see the man had in
this instance overcome all his scru-
pies and prejudices. After the en-
tertainment was over, lamps lighted
ana the company reseated i'm the
draWing-room, some one requested
Booth, as particular favor, and
| one which all present would doubt
less appreciate, to read the Lords
Prayer. Booth expressed his will
ingness to do this, and all eyes were
turned expectantly upon him.
Booth rose slowly and reverently
from his chair. 1t was wonderful to
watch the play of emotions that
convulsed his countenance. He be-
came deathly pale, and his eyes,
turned tremblingly upward, were
wet with tears. AS yet he had not
spoken. The silence could he felt.
1t became absolutely painful, till at
last the spell was broken as if by an
electric shock, as his rich-toned
voice, from white lips, syllabled
forth: "Our Father, which art in
heaven" ETC., with a pathos and So
lemnlty that thrilled all hearers.
He finished. The silence was con-
tinued. Not a voice was heard or
muscle moved in his wrapt audience,
till, from remote corner of the
room, a subdued sob was heard, and
the old gentleman, their host,
stepped forward with streaming
eyes and tottering frame, and seized
Booth by the hand.
sir" said he, in broken accents,
"you have afforded me a pleasure
for which for my whole future life /
will feel grateful. lam an old man
and every day, from my boyhood to
the present time, thought 1 bad
repeated the Lords Prayer, but
have never heard it betore--never -
"You are right" replied Booth
"to read that prayer as it should be
read has cost me the severest study
and labor for thirty years and am
far from being yet satisfied with my
rendering of that wonderful produc-
tion. Hardly one person in "A thou
sand comprehends how much beauty,
tenderness and grandeur can be com
pressed in a space so small and in
words SO simple. That prayer of
itself sufficiently illustrates the truth
of the Bible and stamps upon it the
seal of divinity"
So great was the effect produced,
says our informant, who was pres
ent, that conversation was sustained
but short time longer, in subdued
monosyllables, and almost entirely
ceased; and soon after, at an early
hour, the company broke up and re-
tired to their several homes with
sad faces and full hearts.

GEORGE N. BRIGGS, when Gov
ernOr Of Massachusetts, some fifty
years ago was spending the evening
with friend in Boston. Before the
company retired some one proposed
dancing which was agreed to. Pretty
soon a young lady approached the
Governor and said:
Governor Briggs, may l have
the pleasure of dancing with you ?"
To which the Governor replied,
smilingly:

LUCKY HUNT.--PreciOus stones
are numerous in certain districts in
India, but the rajahs who own the
property are jealous of all strangers
ana resent all tresspassing. Occa.

sportsman or traveller. A party of
English officers was out one day

but bagged little game.
On the return from the hunt q
young officer picked up stone which
lay in his path, and idly threw it
against rock. 1t broke into dozen
pieces, and out tumbled beautiful.

picked it up, looked at it, and was
about to throw it away, but changed
his mind and thrust it into his pocket
remarking as he did so:
"pll keep this thing as mementC
of my hunt at this beastly place,
where l didn't shoot so much as a
rat"
Arrived at Bombay, the officer
dropped into jewelers. store to have
his watch repaired. While at the
counter his hand came in contact
with the pebble which ne still carried
I'm his pocket. He showed it to the
jeweler, and said:
" Here's nice stone I found
Whatll you give me for it? ?"
The man looked at the stone, anC
after examining it carefully, an
