HIS THOUGHT.

On q cool and stormy winter day,
Came there walking from distant way
With Bonded back, halt and lame,
A poor old man along there came.
With torn shoes, in rags he was dressed,
He looked around with anxious looks
Flo bin to find q place OF rest.
In many places Of sorrow and toll,
He here to himself did say:
II thought the earth was mine, or part OF
the soil,
Where will I now my weary bones down lay,
To find a rest if this life is passed
Where / can sleep a peaceful sleep,
Past this life it's hours at last.
In the world no justice for him is found;
No merry all, no happy life.
INC not a glad and joyous
To meet him with a laughing smile.
From his youth and early days,
That dear to his memory stood,
From his early days to his childhood.
TO many days of his life he has toiled,
For himself and future that to gain
But the world, unrightious him had fOiled;
That life was for him only in vain,
In deepest >orrow, in tears he stood
By himself he so silent thought,
Now of his life and his manhood.
AS he there he heard the bells SO sWeetly
ringing,
To his lone memory they harmonious
And hear the people now so Joyous singing,
That to him this moment this light was
found.
A happy moment! A JOYOUS consolation!
A thought so sweet to his memory.
1t was that sweet mother of whom he
thought,
AS she in his childhood days
So many happy hours on her lap he sought
Fol himself that sweet love to gain:
To follow her advice on his future avs,
For him to be happy, but now i'll vain.
He thought Of the lessons she did him
taught,
OF the many stories he was told,
OF the Joyous past that now he was taught;
That no Joy was there. his days was sold.
There was nothing there i'll the world to
love,
Only one desire that life would pass,
To see hat sweet mother once more, at
last.

Anecd ote- of the Old Plunger Who Is

Chicago Times-Herald.
One of the biggest corners Hutch en-
pipeered, in the fall of 1880, was partly the
result of an accident. He was on the
board, trading in his rough and ready
styIe, and soon found he was getting
loaded with wheat. On leaving the room
he heard his name mentioned and caught
a seutpece to this effect:
"And then we won't do a thing TO
Butch.''
Hutch then started in to buy all the
wheat In sight. He explained to friend
afterward he was actuated simply by .
desire to force those two men TO make
good" He kept quietly at the WORK un-
til five days before the end OF the month.
Then he pushed wheat up cents.
The following day he jumped 1t 70
cents. Most Of the crowd who were in
the scheme to "dO'' him settled at this
figure. The next day there was no ma
terial change, but the fourth day there
was apother boost, and wheat reached 16O.
Hutch sent word to those OF the OPP
positiop who were left that they could
settle at that price, but the two he was
after were left to be the victims OF the
final stab, when wheat reached the 81
mark.
Thus history was made because two
men chanced to think and say that they
could run down B. P. Hutchinson.

Effect of Fear.

Many stories are current about the chang
ing ofhair to white because of shock. An
instance of this change OF hue from alarm
is said to have happened to a boy in County
Clare while birds nesting. In order to
capture some eagiets lodged in hole 100
feet from the summit OF precipice which
rose four times that height above the sea
he caused himself to be suspended by rope.
He was furnished with a sword in case he
should be attacked by the old birds, who, s
heneared the nest, flew outatilim with great
fury He struck at them with his weapon,
but, missing his aim, half cut the rope
through. When his companions pulled him
up, which they fortunately did at once,
they scarcely recognized HIM. His hor-
rible situation had almost deprived him
of his senses, and his hair was as white
az snow ieis'
A similar Incident is found in ifhistory. The
Duke of Alva, like Louis XI.. had a favor
ite provost marshal who often used to
string up individuals who were obnoxious
to his highuess. This officer, who had an
enemy, one Capt. Bodca, resolved to give
him fright upon his own account. With
the confessor and executioner he therefore
presented himself at the captains bedside
ono night and informed him that he had
come to execute his highness' usual CON-
mission. The captain having pleaded for
his life in vain, confessed himself and had
the rope put around his neck. when the pro-
vost-marshal observed that 1t was only his
fun. Next morning, though the captain
was young man, his hair had become show
white.
There is rather a good rider to this
story. Soon afterward passing with the
duke through Saragossa the captain in
duced him to visit the madhouse; having
fixed the appointment he told the chief
PHI hysician that the real object Of the duke
was to deposit in his keeping an unruly
provost-marshal who had shown signs of
lunacy. The provost marshal was conse-
Quently locked in a cell and had his head
shaved. 1t is doubtful whether he or the
captain had the best of the Joke.

He can easily dispose of all the local as
pirauts for fistic honors, having shown his

Incense Of Autumn.

There's an odor OF incense In the air,
The sky is sOmbre, gray;
The summer wanes, life everywhere
Flows listless. and the crickets lay
Grows drowsy with the close OF DAY,
And melancholy night-winds pear
An odor OF incense in the air.
There's an odor of incense 10 the air,
In plaintive notes the quail
Calls der the meadow brown a nd bare.
Through signing woods and dying vale
The lingering summer flowers exhaie
With fragrance rare beyond compare
An odor or incense In the air.
There's an odor of incense In the air.
Ger all a languor reigns:
The goldenrod and asters flare
Along the winding, shady lanes
In white -and-gold enameled chains,
And my soul goes forth In sill mt prayer
With tue odof of incense In the air.

RACE TRACK NEWS.

French and German horse breeders are
becoming alarmed at the continued and
large importations of American horses,
and with good reason. At no time have So
many horses been exported, not only to
these countries, but to Great Britain, as
well, and the class of horses shipped range
all the way from highly-bred tr6tting
stock to common chunks or "streeters,' -
as they are called ir the West, which find
their way to the umnibuses and delivery
wagons OF the great cities Of Europe.
American breeders should realize that
this is their opportunity, and close study
should be made OF the wants of the Euro
pean market. We have the stock and we
have the boundless plains of the West to
provide a breeding ground. All that is
needed is an intelligent effort to breed
just the required class of horses, and the
European market will be assured to US.
The Brooklyn meeting generally opens
the season. but 1t Is more than probable
that the racing will begin next year at
Aqueduct. as President Riley il leaning in
that direction, and it is thought he will
profit by taking the early dates. The AQue-
duct track at present does not warrant any
rich stake events, but il it accepts the early
dates all the best horses will be on hand
TO run for good purses and prepare for the
richer prizes which follow.
Morris Park will have spring meeting.
but 1t Is not likely to be dated before
Gravesend or C0ney Island. The stakes
at Morris Park will no doubt be more numer-
GUS and of higher value than at any OF the
other tracks. The people who control this
club are men of wealth and are determined
to elevate the sport. With this end In view,
there will be some very rich prizes offered
during the coming season.
