Warning to Kickers.

st. Peter sits at the heavenly gates.
his hands on the strings of the Tyre,
and sings low song as he patiently
waits for the souls of those who ex-
pire. He hears in the distance a
chorus of song swell from the foot of
the heavenly throne, and he smiles as
the music is waited along and he warb-
les lay Of his own: There is room in
this region for millions of souls, who,
by sorrow and woe were bereft; tits
for those who have suffered the melody
rolls. but the kickers must turn to the
left. There is room for the people
who, when they were young, persisted
in sowing wild oats, yet doomed up
their town with sinew and tongue, but
the kickers must go with the goats.
There is room for the people who
pointed with pride to the beauty and
growth of their town, who kept singing
their praises aloud till they died, but
the kickers will please amble down.
They'd say the music was all out of
tune, and the angelic gown ''hand me
down." and they'd send for a jeweler
to the moon to sample the gold in their
crown. So while there is room for
millions of souls who, by sorrow and
woe, were bereft, we want no COM
plant of the music that rolls, so the
kickers must turn to the left.

A Deserved Punishment.

When No. 6, east. bound Scioto Val
ley passenger train, left Columbus last
night, in one of the cars were seated
three Sisters of Charity. Around the
stove we're standing Cabling crowd
of college students and short, hashy
looking fellow with a loud, vulgar
mouth. A few seats away sat quiet,
unobtrusive gentleman, who attracted
no attention. When the conductor
passed through collecting fares, he
passed the sisters without asking for
their pass Or fare for the moment. One
of these quickly rose, followed him and
presented their credentials, which the
conductor punched and passed out of
the car. AS soon as he was out of
hearing, the f1ashy chap leering at the
college boys for approval. made vile,
brutal remark about the three sisters,
too low to repeat, but loud enough to
shock all the ladies within hearing.
Quick rs if shot the quiet gentleman
arose, revealing well-knit frame, and
with quick stride demanded sternly:
"What was that remark you made of
those ladies?'' What the HI is that
to your and the fellow drew back his
fist to pass blow. tits lot to mel"
and like flash hard, brown fist shot
out, and down went the blackguard six
feet down the aisle. The conductor
hurrying back, marched the discom-
fitted churl from the car, and the Ia
dies thanked the quiet man with much
feeling, making him blush like girl.
The three sisters who could say Moth
ing, sat silent spectators of their
defenders manly act, with tears rolling
down their heeks."-Chilicotke (Ohio)

the population of Massachusetts, can
not read or write, the Boston Herald
remarks: "What astonishes one is
that no state west of the Mississippi
river, with the exception of the four
southern states, ranks as high as
Massachusetts In the number of illit-
crates in its population" The only
way the Herald can explain it is on
the superstition that the people who
can read and write have emigrated
from Massachusetts to the west.

THANKSGIVING.

Oh, men grown sick with toll and care
Leave for awhile the crowded mart
Oh, women, sinking with despair.
Weary Of limb and faint of heart,
Forget your cares today, and come
AS children back to childhood's home
Follow again the winding rills;
Go to the places where you went,
When, climbing up the summer hills,
In their green lap you sat content;
And softly leaned your head to rest
On Natures calm and peaceful breast.
Walk through the sere and fading
wood.
So lightly trodden by your feet
When all you knew of life was good,
And all you dreamed of life was
sweet;
And let fond memory lead you back
Ger youthful loves enchanted track.
Taste the ripe fruit Of orchard boughs,
Drink from the messy we'll once
more.
Breathe fragrance from the crowded
mOws
With fresh, sweet clover running
DER;
And count the treasures at your feet
Of silver rye and golden wheat.
Go sit beside the hearth again
Whose circle once was glad and gay;
And if from out the precious chain
Some shining links have dropped
away,
Then guard with tender heart and
hand
The remnant of your household band.
Draw near the board with plenty
spread;
And If in the accustomed place
You see the fathers reverend head,
Or mothers patient, loving face
Whate'er your life may have of i'll,
Thank God that these are left you still.
And though where home hath been,
you stand
Today in alien loneliness;
Though you may clasp no mothers
hand,
And claim no sisters tender kiss,
Though with no friend or lover nigh,
The past is all your company.
Thank God for friends your life has
known,
For every dear departed day.
The blessed past is safe alone
God gives but does not take away;
He only safely keeps above
For us the treasures that we love
Phoebe Gary.
