OVER The TUBS.
nndrv. nll day long.

Up from the laundry, all day long,
Comes the Groom of little song;
Low and plaintive, its measures seem
To rise and melt with the wreaths of steam.
Mrs McGill in the midst below,
Heaping the linen, snow on snow,
Sings at her task as the moments fly;
Still as the busy hours go by,
Mrs. McGill over the tubs,
Scrubs and washes, washes and scrubs.
Bare are her strong arms; rough and red
Her hands, with striving for daily bread. 4
While she works in the steam and foam,
Thoughts of the 'childer," left at home,
Come to cheer her. till, after all,
The day seems short, and the washing
small;
For mother-love, with tender SPELL
Is working its ceaseless miracle; ;
While Mrs McGill, over the tubs,
Scrubs and washes, washes and scrubs.
Down through the area-way there floats
The cry of the newsboy-strident notes,
Telling how on q field of fame
A warrior won him hero's name;
The sailors clung to reellng deck,
And served the guns of shattered wreck;
A hero mounted the ladder tall,
And plucked life from the flaming wall;
While Mrs. McGir over the tubs,
Scrubs and washes, washes and scrubs
Six o'clock and the music swells
Loud from the throats of thousand bells;
So at last, when the shadows fall,
She draws about her faded shawl,
While sweet content in the rough worn face,
Kindles a brighter than beauty's grace.
Home she hastes, where the long day
through
The little ones watched and waited too
While Mrs. McGill, over the tubs,
Scrubs and washes, washes and scrubs.
Mrs. McGill, your humble name
Has no place in the rolls of fame.
Little 1t matters to such as you;
Brief the page is, the names are few.
Still know that your faithful love
Finds place in the scroll above.
SO when my heart grows weak and faint,
This is the thought that stops complaint:
Mrs. McGill, over the tubs,
Scrubs and washes, washes and scrubs.

He Mantod tho watch.

A young English barrister in Africa
was once retained to defend a Zulu
charged with stealing a gold watch.
The evidence was entirely circumstan-
tial, and the lawyer made such good
defense that his client was discharged.
The same evening he was sitting with
the magistrate on the porch of the
hotel, when the Zulu came up and said
in English: Master, can ! wear the
watch nowT pulling out the stolen ar
ticle at the same time. The magistrate
roared with laughter, and the young adj
vocate was somewhat confused.-N. Y.

casion. Gen. Borrero has many partians.
and particularly among the younger Of
hcers Of the army. Gen. Borrero accused
Marshal Campos OF systematically pre-
venting promotions in the army. He as
serted that Marshal Campos for The past
twenty years had been the irresponsible
arbiter OF Spanish politics, and had be-
come q sort OF mentor OF royalty. Changes

minister of war appeared on the scene
and failing to get their word OF honor
from the principals that they would not

The matter remains thus at present. The

the effect that both generals are under ar

matter. The affair Is causing intense ex-
