York-An Ancient Prophecy.

The suggestions that the city and state of New York shall drop the prefix New and be called simply "York" recalls an ancient saying which has long been prevalent in the north of England, in Lincolnshire, if not in Yorkshire. It runs thus:
 "Boston was, London is and York is to be the greatest seaport of the three. !"
 The ago of this prophecy is unknown, but is undoubtedly dates back to time when Boston in Lincolnshire had recent ly been rival of London as a seaport. In 1904 its skipping was next to that of London, and nearly as great. Perhaps not very long before that time it had exceeded the shipping of London.
 But how "York was yet to be- the greatest seaport was difficult problem until the settlement of America and the foundation of the New York in the new world The English York is an inland city that has no facilities for commerce.. It is nearly 100 years ago when some Lincolnshire people, recalling this an. cient prophecy, decided that if York was to be greater seaport than London it must be the American, or New, York, which commanded the most important harbor on the entire Atlantic coast.- Monroe ill New York Sun.

Her Request.

An elderly gentleman whoso duties re- quirod his presence in Washington during the session of congress had taken quite a fatherly interest, as elderly gentlemen will, in young woman who boards in the northwestern part of tho town.
 He had sent her books and flowers and had called on her until really, if he were not an elderly gentleman, people might have made remarks.
 Not long ago he appeared in the board ing house parlor and asked for the young woman. She caIno In. Her face was a little flushed, and in ono hand she carried an open note. She walked up to the elder ly gentleman.
 "Mr. So-and-so," she said distinctly you say you would do anything for mo Do you mean itl't
 He looked somewhat surprised. but he stood to his colors.

 The young woman looked him straight in the face, and then, as she turned to leave the room, she said, and everybody heard her:

As We Grow Older.

He was barely 21. His mustache was merely delicate hint, he had been to two French balls, had lowing acquaintance with three third rate actresses, and no one could ever tell him anything that he didn't know.
 Ho admired woman whose age was a stationary go, whose hair was adjustable, and whose tense was past
 He passed his hand wearily over his wrinklcless brow and paid his court in tho following unimpassioned terms:
 My child, have only the remains of Q wasted life to offer to you. I am tired of everything. Everything bores mo. Satiety has been my ruin. But if you like to take pity on a man who has drunk tho crp of pleasure to its bitter dregs and frittered away noble career I am willing to devote tho poor remnant of my life to you entire ly."
 And the woman shook her head and turned aside to hide a smile. saying to her self, "Why, he Is even younger than l thoughtr'
 Twenty years later he was naturally fl. He now preferred the circus to French balls, watched baseball games instead of playing poker and was pretty nearly con- vinced that there were great many things which ho didn't know and would probably die in ignorance of.
 Ho admired a woman whose age was a temporary 22, whose bright hair was in- digcnous and whose tense was decidedly future.
 By this time he had dabbled in obesity cures, developed lead oolored pouches un- der his eyes, and his hair was gray and scanty.
 His joints cracked loudly as ho stretched forth his hands and paid his court to his divinity in the following impassioncd terms:
 "I am young man, with all my life be- fore me. Although no saint, have clean record. l feel that nm called to glorious possibilities. Como to my arms and with me walk down the long vistas vf the fu- ture."
 And this woman also shook her head and turned away to hide 8 smile saying to herself:

The Austrian empire is composed of quite number of different nationalities, among them Poles, Hungarians, Bohe- mians and Croats, the characteristics of which are portrayed in the following an ecdote:
 Four Austrian soldiers wero quartered overnight at tho house of a peasant.
 In tho morning, after they had resumed their march, the Polo remarked:
 Comrades, that peasant had very fine watch"
 "We should have taken 1t along with us, observed tho Hungarian.
 ''I've got that watch" observed the Bo- hemian.

A public school teacher in a New Jersey town was once asked where she intended to spend m approaching vacation.
 She replied that 1t was such an effort to collect her things and pack her trunk that she was doubtful whether she should leave town. When surprise was expressed at this, she replied:

 Unkindness to the Departed.
 In this category of irrevocable mis- takes place also the unkindnesses done the departed When I was a boy, my mother used to say to me sometimes, 'De Witt, you will be sorry for that when I am gone. And remember just how she looked, sitting there with cap and spectacles and the old Bible in her lap, and she never said truer thing than that, for I have often been sorry since. While we have our friends with us we say unguarded things that wound the feelings of those to whom we ought to give nothing but kindness. Perhaps the parent, without inquiring into the matter, boxes the child s ears. The little one, who has fallen in the street, comes in covered with dust, and as though the first disaster were not enough she whips it. After awhile the child is taken, or the parent is taken, or the companion is taken, and those who are left say: "Oh, if we could only get back those unkind words, those unkind deeds If we could only recall them!" But you cannot get them back. You might bow down over the grave of that loved ono and cry and cry and cry. The white lips would make no answer. The stars shall be plucked out of their sockets, but theso influences shall not be torn away. The world shall die, but thero are some wrongs immor- tai The moral of which is, take care of your friends while you have them. Spare the scolding. Be economical of the satire. Shut up in dark cave from which they shall never swarm forth all the words that have a sting in them. You will wish you had some day-very soon you will, perhaps tomorrow. Oh, yes.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Aug. A.
George H. Shank, who, with one
Ralston, was charged with attempt
ing to load up $4,000 worth of Union
Pacific steel rails and ship them out
during the night of July "a, was given
a preliminary hearing yesterday and
was bound over to the district court
in the sum of $500. President Patrick,
of an Eastern road now building, testi-
fed to contract with Shank to furnish
1000 tons of new and five tons relay
rails, and that he had come here to
ascertain why they were not shipped.
Shank and Ralston had claimed to
have bought the rails. The state at
tempted to show that several days be-
fore the alleged attempt was made,
Ralston, in the presence of Shank,
openly boosted that he would take the
pile of rails in dispute, 1t was further
shown against Shank that the plan was
to load the rails that night and ship
them and that Shank and Ralston had
made trip on a branch road to find
more rails.

In some temporal things, and in all
spiritual things, God allows His oper-
alton to be conditioned by ours. For
certain physical blessings, and for our
own growth in grace-for church
prosperity-and for all the higher
gooos-for all these things-God says:
l Will be enQuired of by the house
or israel to do it for them"
6ehold, then, the place for prayeri
is II more unreasonable that God
should have made some things depend
on our prayers or earnest wishes; Than
that He should have made others
depend on our industry or perse-
verance, on our character or our COM
mon sense? At all events, reasonable
or not. that is what He has done.
The appeal is to fact. And so in
regard to our conduct Certain events
of our life-certain consequences of our
deeds-are inevitable. Therd is no
evading the inexorable law But this
sphere of unconditional and uncondi-
tlonal process is, perhaps, much
smaller than we think. For the most
part, our destiny is in our own hands.
God waits for US. We must take the
1nltia tive. Most wonderful will be the
riches of His grace and saving power.
to be made manifest in us, when He
shows US the abundance of His mercy.
But we must make the beginning.
We must ''go forward"-as well as
pray. We must touch the BUTTON"
and so release all the forces of ON
impotence for our own salvation and
for the salvation of others, which are
waiting to be set in motion at our
signal. Nothing will be done till that
signal is given. There is a sphere and
a tins for prayer. There is also a
sphere and a time for brave and time
ly action on the part of us poor
creatures. And the Lord said unto
Moses, Speak unto the children of
Israel, that they go forward"
