A LITTLE BOY FOR SALE.

a mother WAS busy at work one dn,,
When her dear little boy with his TOYS
Ran In from his play, as bright as NAV,
With all Of his traps and noise
You make such din" she said to him,
While he worked with his tools, his JOYS,
I'll put you 20 bed or III sell you." she
said.

a little boy for sale;
A little boy for sale:
Ny little boys for sale;
A little boy for sale;
A little boy for sale;
He makes so much noise with his hammer
and toys,
My little boy for sale.
The dear little boy was quiet one day.
He had laid his toys aside.
The mother has ceased her work TO pray:
20. Lord. with me abide"
Az she sits by the bed of her curly head,
A soft sweet song she sings;
When out OF the gloom of that small quiet
room
Comes the rustic OF ngels' wings.
There's no little boy for sale;
There's no little boy for sale;
He was bought by the love OF the Father

CHAPTER XIV.
ruR CITY OF rHK HEART.

TIE CITY or TIE HEART.
While It was yet dark on the follow
ing morning we were awakened blythe
voice of Zibalbay calling us.
Arise" he said; lit is time TO start
upon our road"
Dressing ourselves, we went into the
common room, where we found Zibalbay
and the Lady Maya.
'Eat,r said the old man, pointing to
food that was ready, land let us b. go
ing
the house and on our way.
BY degrees as the light grew we saw
that the country at our feet was shaped
like bowl, whereof the mountain
range upon which we stood formed the
rim, and at the bottom of this bowl, fed
by numberless streams that had their
sources among the surrounding SHOWS,
lay the lake. the Holy Waters of this
people. OF this. however, we could as
yet see little, since the vast expanse be-
meath us lay hidden in volumes of mist
that moved and rolled like the face of
the ocean
Never before had we looked upon
anything SO strange as this dense gar
ment of vspor while the light of heaven
gathered upon its surface, tinging IL
with lines and patches of color. IL
seemed as though map of the world
WAS unrolled before us; continents,
seas, islands, and cities formed them
selves only to disappear in quick sue
cession and assume new and endless
shapes
1T is beautiful, is IL notq" said Maya.
But wait until the mist breaks. Look,
Il is beginning"
As she spoke, of q sudden the sea of
mist grew thin and opened in it's CEN
ter, and through the gap thus formed
showed first the pyramids and temple
tops and then the entire panorama of
the city Heart of the World floating as
1t were upon the face of the Holy
Waters. II was far away, but now the
night fog no longer thickened 1t, so
clear was the atmosphere and so high
were we above 1t that It seemed to be
1t our feet.
II stood upon . heart-shaped island,
and round about the shores of this
island. stretching further than the eye
could reach, sparkled the blue waters
of the holy lake
There lies my country" said Maya,
with . proud wave of her hand. "Does

Because. though lakes and noun

things, II is not 10 these but to the men
and women among whom we live that
we must look for happiness"
"Some people might think otherwise,
Maya They might say that happiness
must be sought for In ourselves. At
least could be happy in such land rs
this"

that we had better go to bed. On one

A PIONEER PASSES AWAY.
Death of G. w. Robinson, Once Warden
at San Quentin Prison.

LOS ANGELES, March 24.-G. w.
Robinson, a California pioneer. and at
one time Warden of San Quentin Prison,
is dead at the age of 81 years.
Mr.. Robinson crossed the plains from
Kansas City in 1S49, coming direct to
Los Angeles, where he resided until
1857, when he went north to take
charge of San Quentin Prison, return
ing afterward to Los Angeles, which re-
mained his permanent home.
Mr. Robinson was a native of Georgia,
and a typical argonaut, being endowed
with the mental and physical powers
which enabled the pioneers of 1S49 to
push their way beyond the confines of
civilization and found an empire by
the Western sea. In the 81 years of his
life he did not know what sickness was
until stroke of apopfexy suddenly
ended his career.
1t is said of Mr.. Robinson that he
enjoyed the distinction of casting the
first vote that was ever deposited in an
American ballot-box in Los Angeles.

back to the tender and asked the depu-

PACIFIC RAILWAY. DEBTS.
Representative Barham Appears Be
fore the House Committee.

Representative ~NPf'O~~
fore the House Committee.
WASHINGTON, March 24.-Repre-
sentative Barham of California to-day
appeared before the House Committee
or Pacific Railroads in opposition to the
various funding and foreclosure plans.
He claimed that if the Pacific roads
were given to understand that the time
in which their debts were to be paid
would not be extended they would find
the money to pay up.
He presented the resolutions of the
Legislature of California, adopted Feb
ruary 10th, opposing any extensions for
the payment of debts and to the Reilly
funding bill or any bill of like import.
The resolutions request the California
Congressional delegation to use all hon
est means to defeat any such PROPOSE
ton, and demand the immediate col
lection on maturity of the debts of the
roads.
Barham criticised certain statements
made before the committee by Mr..
Stubbs, President of the Central
Pacific Company. He read from Mr..
Stubs statement the charge that the
Democratic members of the California
Railway Commission had been elected
to office upon the distinct pledge that
they would decrease freight and pas
senger rates on the California roads %
per cent, and that the commission had
arbitrarily made such a reduction and
put it through without any hearing or
opportunity for appeal.
In contradiction of those charges Bar
ham read a letter just received from
Chairman LaRue of that commission,
in which he said that the only reduction
made by the commission was s per cent.
on grain alone, and that instead of be-
ing an arbitrary reduction put through
without a hearing" as charged by Mr..
Stubbs, the reduction was only made
after a hearing occupying nine days.
Mr.. LaRue also certified that he never
made a pledge of any sort-as to what he
would do if elected Railroad Commits
sioner.
Barham said that the people of Cali
fornia were almost unanimously op-
posed to any sort of refunding bill for
the Pacific roads, and explained why
Congress should not consider such a
proposition.
Barham closed with an argument to
prove that the United States was not
barred by the statute of limitation from
collecting it's debts against the roads,
as had been claimed, and read from the
recent Stanford decision to show that
this point was not considered N that
case, but was explicitly reserved in the
decision. No statute ever runs against
the Government, ne said, and IL the
companies owed the Government S97,-
600, 600, and had never paid in but 81,
900, 900, they could clearly be compelled
to pay the remaining $4,000, 900. The
books were full of cases where stock
holders had not paid in their full capi-
tai stock, and the corporation having
become insolvent, they were sued and
made to pay up in full. J1e contended
that a case involving SO many and such
intricate legal points should not be de-
cided by Congress or committee of
Congress, but that the courts should be
permitted to decide upon and settle the
whole case.
