Hard on the Poor Farmer.

The oppression of the poor western
farmer still goes on apace. In Nebraska
the supreme court of the state has just
taken from him a lucrative means Of live
hhood. For years there has been law in
the state requiring railroad engineers TO
whistle at every highway crossing and i'm
posing fine of $50 for every failure to do
SO, half the fine going to the informer.
For some reason engineers have not been
able to do all the whistling required by
this law, perhaps from need of some steam
for running the locomotive, and the farm.
ers have made great deal of anoney by
Watching the crossings and bringing suit
against the companies for infractions Of
the law.
Every suit thus brought has heretofore
been decided against the companies and
the law has cost them great deal of mon
ey. One farmer recently got verdict for
50, 500 whistling money against the Union
Pacific. The supreme court has finally de-
clared the law unconstitutional New
York Sun.

The Brooklyn Dialect.

Perhaps the most notable tendency
which Brooklynites display in speaking is
that Of putting an sound on every word
ending in or aw. Eight of ten people you
hear say mommer and pepper and the

popularity commonly encountered Is that
attending the pronunciation Of Of in such
words as oil, point, eto. Oil as given by
Brooklyn people is not quite so bad as orl,
but comes pretty near 1t, a sort of sound
being introduced.
On the contrary, when the sound of !
shouldn't be distinctly heard it is FIRE
quently omitted In such words as world,
first, third pronounced woild, foist and
thoid. This popularity is, however, more
characteristic of New Yorkers than OF
Brooklynites. The Latin prefix per in per
spiration and in perhaps Is often pro.
nounced as though it were pre-, as prespi.

On Intimate Terms with Him.

The professor OF New England theo-
logical (EvangelicaD seminary invited the
neighboring pastors to a complimentary
reception and dinner at hotel. In addi-
tion to the banquet there was a sermon
and discussion. The sermon was given by
one of the ablest members of the faculty,
who is an ideal gentleman and scholar.
His subject was "The Temptation Of
Christ" In the course of his sermon he
said, by way of illustration:
"You find yourself anne gloomy day,
near It's close, In vast and dreary waste
There Is no living thing to be seen. You
look about you, discouraged, hungry and
almost disheartened, when suddenly the
tempter appears. 'WhatP said he, you dis

rocks to turn into bread, that you may ap-
pease your hunger and griefp Your reply

REST.

Rest TO the toll worn brain,
Rest 20 the hands and feet,
Rest from life's struggle and strain,
Rest from its fever and heat,
Rest in some quiet country lane
Far from the loud city street,
With its wretchedness, squalor and pain
There with calm nature to meet.
From her lips fresh with dew or with rain.
Alone in her sacred retreat,
The secret of rest thus TO gain,
Such rest-ah, how sweet
after labor comes rest,
After the day cometh night,
Peace TO the troubled breast,
JOY TO the sad and opprest,
And TO the darkened sight
Out Of the distant west
At eventide oometh light.
So when the weary fight
OF life has been fought and won
To tie captive soul cometh flight
To regions beyond the sun.
