AN ANGEL NOW.
She Jumped the Rope One Hundred
and Fifty Times.

New York, April 8.-Little Julia
Henry. whose widowed mother re-
sides at AS Grand street, Williams
burg, was buried at Greenwood
Cemetery today. She jumped the
rope $50 times yesterday.
This reminds us life is very un-
certain. Take a walk in almost
any cemetery and you will find
mound after mound, heaped over
the last resting place of the man
who blew into the muzzle of a gun
to see if it was loaded. A little
futher down the slope is buried the
crank who tried to show how close
he could pass in front of a moving,
train. In strolling about you see
the modest monument of the hired
girl who started the fire with kero-
sene, and the grass,covered knoll
that covers what is lett of the boy
who put d corncob under a mules
tail The tall shaft of the man
who blew out the gas casts a shad-
ow across the bosom of the boy
who tried to jump on a moving
train. Side by side the ethereal
creature who always had her corset
laced to the last h)le and the intel
ligent idiot who rode a bicycle nine
miles in 10 minutes sleep on undis-
turbed, Here repose the remains
of the doctor who took a dose of
his own medicine, and just over
there with the top OF a shoe box
driven over his head lies a rich man
who married a young wife. Away
over there by a side gate repose
the remains of a boy who went
fishing on Sunday, and the woman
who kept strychnine side by side
with baking powder in the cup
board. The man who stood in front
of a moving machine to oil the
sickle is quiet now, and he rests by
the side of the careless brakeman
who fed himself to a seventy-ton
engine, Those four newly made
graves over yonder are occupied by
the careless farmers who tried to
feed 4 fodder shredder and smoke
at the same time, and SO it goes -
