RECONCILED.

She came when, walked by May-time
weather,
The first rosebud its leaves unfurled,
And Joy and Hope and Love together
Went singing round the happy world. \
And as she Powered and expanded
To perfect grace on every side,
We lived az in land enchanted,
Wherein all things seem glorifled.
We never dreamed God had but sent her
Into the world, this wonder-child,
TO teach our hearts to be more tender,
And show us beauty undef1led;
And when-her Heavenly mission ended
God called her spirit back to Him,
Dur hearts with agony were rended,
Our eyes with bitter tears were dim;
And as with faltering feet we bore her
To her last earthly resting place,
And saw the turf heaped darkly Ger her,
Hiding the glory of her face,
We turned away with stony faces,
Refusing to be comforted;
''God is not Love, and he misplaces
His trust who rhinketh So" we said.
But now-all past our foolish Gliding,
All hushed our wailing, vain and wild.
And, as of old, in God confding,
Our will with His Is reconciled.
An, mad she lived. our hearts dear treas
ure,
Who knows what pain, what grief. what
tears,
What loss no human gauge can measure,
Might have been hers in after years?
Now, safe from Time, the rude Despoiler,
From sorrow saved, and sin, and strife.
Yea, safe from aught whose touch could
soil her!
Her soul has won immortal life!
But still, in her diviner essence,
Unbroken speech with us she holds.
And with the glory of her Presence,
Dispels the darkness of our souls.
So radiant with celestial splendor,
How can we think of her as dead?
SO loving still, so pure, so tender,
Why should we not be comforted?

stitution.

An English Breach of Promise Case
Based ON q Curious Document.

An English Breach of Promise Case
Based on a Curious Document
Miss Jane Ashton, of Hollingwood,
near Manchester. has discovered an en-
tirely novel use for penny postage
stamps.
Courted by Mr.. Samuel Scholes, a
farmer of that part, and growing
wearied of her lovers procrastinating
habits, Miss Ashton determined at last
to bring matters to an issue. She was
moved thereto by more than one con-
sideration. 1t was not merely the
farmers persistent neglect to name
the wedding day, pleading the cotton
strike, agricultural depression and
other insufficient excuses; it was the
fact that, after ten years of this sort Of
sbilly-shallying, Mr.. Scholes had be-
gun to pay marked attention to an.
other lady. Moreover, Miss Ashton's
dilatory sutton had attained to the age
of 60, and Miss Ashton was herself get
ting on that way.
II will do anything in reason" said
the farmer.
"Then let US have 1t in writing" said
the lady.
Thereupon Miss Ashton wrote on q
sheet of paper: "Will you marry me if
l keep company with your" and the
farmer, being thus cornered, appended
the words: II WILL" but added the in
sidious proviso:" L will ifl ever marry"
Naturally, Miss Ashton saw in this
act need for extra caution. She knew
her man, and therefore pulled out
penny postage stamp, stuck it firmly
on the document, wrote across it the
date. and put it in her pocket. Then it
was that Mr.. Scholes. impressed by
this legal formality, begged piteously
to have the fatal paper, stamp and all,
handed over to him. lie would give
sovereign for it. he said, and when the
lady asked him: Are you going to get
married or are you not?' he wildly
easped out the words: whether or
not, 1 want thee to set me free"
The closing scene of the little drama
was enacted at the Manchester assizes,
where Miss Ashton appeared as the
plaintiff III a breach of promise action.
The postage stamp may have lacked
the sovereign virtues that Miss Ashton
had attributed to it; this little object
which had caused Mr.. Scholes' teeth to
chatter with fear may have been Il
lnere bugbear, but the jury looked to
the facts Of the case and gave the lady
verdict. though with what seems to
be the rather paltry sum of Els dam
ayes.-London News. Oh e.. 8

THE FIGHT rs ON.

There is an intense rivalry between
the watermelon and tomato growers
~ to who can produce the earliest. Sal
zer's Earliest Watermelon ripened in
1895 in SO days. That record is to be
beaten, and Salzer pays 500 to the win
ner! Then on tomatoes the record on
$50 days the Earliest Tomato" in 1895
was So days. That's to be beaten, and
$50 paid. Salzer challenges the world
to produce earlier melons, tomatoes,
cabbages, radishes, peas or sweet corn
than he offers. Get his mammoth cat

Right of terrestrial stairs where dilap-
dated saucepans and other culinary
utensils had been ANONYMOUSLY aban-
doned by the cook. Then he knocked
at the second closed door which con-
frontcd him, and was almost immedi-
ately after faced by the entire house
hold.
For his coming had not been unob-
served. Everybody was there to meet
him, but nobody was there to greet
him-not at least with kindly well
come. The several pairs of feminine
eyes focused upon him expressed vari-
Gus degrees of wrath, fear, contempt
and repulsion. The mistress of the
house was young and pretty, but her
face was set like a flint. Yet she had
the kindest heart in the world. But
when the tramp asked her for bite
to eat she ordered the cook to hand out
a cup of coffee, boiled egg, left over
from the familytable, and some bread
and butter. Then she gave the cook
by glance of warning-a tip regard
ing the silver. The forks and spoons
in that family were genuine and heir
looms, so the tramp ate his breakfast
in the primitive fashion which OBJ,
tanned before knives and forks were
invented. He seemed to have refined
instincts in table etiquette, and the
egg, which was soft boiled, rather
bothered him, until he made bit o!

Study Your Dress.

Girls ought to study harmony in
dressing. The hair 'fluffed out over the
ears is very becoming, but that style ID
not correct with sailor hat. 1t makes
the face looks ridiculous. Moreover,
nautical headgear should not be orna-

stone buckles. Speaking of incongrui-
ties in dress, saw a woman in Fourth

She missed the point by wearinga pair
of big solitaire diamond earrings. She
might as well have had n red feather in
her Grape bonnet.-N. y. Recorder.

Prosperous Farmers.

Ydnhton Press and Ddkotidn In Yankton
County, South Dakota, there are at least
one thousand farmers who came here poor
as the proverbial turkey of Job, and whoto-
day count their worldly possessions by
thousands. Many Of them started in with
q house built Of sod, and almost empty
handed so far as horses and cattle 20. 70
day they occupy fine dwelling houses, have
large barns, fine horses, cattle, hogs and
sheep, ,granaries filed with grain, fruit
orchards, and money in hand. We mention
this to show that South Dakota farmers are
the prosperous class. Prosperity is the
rule-not the exception. With fair prices
for grain and live stock they would be roll
ing in wealth Prices, however, have moth
Ing to do with the fertility of the soil and
the favorable character of the elm ate.

and assure prosperity to the farming classes.
