MouRNFuL JANE, HAPPY SUE

Once a time there were two twins
Whom everybody knew,
And one of them was Mournful Jane
And one was Happy Sue.
And Happy Sue would laugh and sing,
And run about and play,
But Mournful Jane would NOPE and groan
And cry all through the day.
A stranger coming to the town
Was struck by this, and said
To Sue: What are you thinking OF
That makes you laugh, my maidT'
And Susan smiled, and happily
And gayly made reply:
II think of all the cakes and pies
Tomorrow will supply"
And then the stranger turned to Jane
And said: my little one,
What do you think of all the time
That makes you sob and groan?'
Jane answered with burst Of tears
And face all woebegone:
Il think of all the cakes and pies
That are forever gone!

BEECHER'S A~BOLITIONISM.

Against His Church.

1t Arouse Threats Against His Life and
Against His Church.
Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher. in a graph
ic, reminiscent article entitled ''When
Mr.. Beecher Sold Slaves In Plymouth
Pulpit" in The Ladies' Home Journal,
tells of the peril in which tho famous
preacher placed his life by his fearless
advocacy of the abolition of slavery. ''In
1847 Mr.. Beecher became the pastor of
Plymouth church, Brooklyn, and in his
inaugural sermon, she says, she frank
ly stated the position that he intended
to hold in opposition to human slavery.
The majority of the church members
agreed with him, but the majority of
the people Of New York and Brooklyn
were southern sympathizers. OF the re-
alities of slavery they knew nothing
They regarded it se~ntimentally as a pa
triarchal institution that had come do. II
from Biblical times and that gave the
southern people ample leisure TO develop
into charming ladies' and eloquent poll
ticians.
"Mr. Beecher came to open the eyes
and arouse the consciences of these sem
t~imentalists, and he encountered as t.
ter all opposition as that which he ID
faced in Cincinnati. He was abused as

with personal violence, q mob was
formed in New York to tear down Inc

SONG OF THE BURDEN BEARER.

Over the narrow foutr.th
That led from my lp,vly door
l went with a thought Of the Master,
As oft l had walked before.
Ny heart was heavily laden,
And with tears my eyes were dim,
But l knew l should lose this burden
Could i get n glimpse of hir..
Over the trodden pathway,
To the fields all shorn and bare,
] went with n step that faltered
And a face that told of care.
] had lost the light OF the morning,
With its simmer of sun and dew,
But a gracious look of the Master
Would the strength of morn renew.
While yet my courage wavered
And the sky before mo blurred
l heard IA voice behind me
Saying IA tender word,
n 1 turned to see the brightness
OF heaven upon the road
And suddenly lost the pressure
OF the weary, crushing load.
Noting that hour was altered
i had still the weight of care
But l bore it now with gladness
Which ome of answered prayer.
Not a grief the soul can fetter
Nor CLOUD its vision when
The dear Lord gives the spirit
To breathe to his will amen.

he most advantageous to the government
or TO sell the bonds abroad for gold, when
ever in his Judgment it might be advisable
10 do so. and use the gold thus obtained IN
making redemptions of outstanding notes.
Secretary Carlisle also renews his rec
ommendation for such amendments to the
national banking laws as would permit the
! issue of circulating notes equal in amount
to the face value of the bonds deposited
and reduce the tax on notes to one-fou"th
| of l per centum per annum, and tnat au-
thority be given to establish branch banks
for the transaction of all kinds of business
now allowed, except the issue Of circuldt-
ing notes.
Continuing, the secretary says: AL
though the receipts from the ordinary
sources of revenue during the last three
fiscal years have been less than the expend-
itures, there have been at all times sutti-
cient available funds in the treasury to
maintain an efficient public service and dis
charge the current obligations of the gov
eminent, and no public creditor has been
delayed in the collection of his claim, nor
has the business of the country ever been
disturbed by a doubt concerning the abil-
ity Of the government to defray its Ordi-
nary expenses
On the subject of protection, he says: $50
long as the income from customs and in
ternal taxes exceeded the expenditures,
the fact that protective duties were de-
structive of revenue, although clearly APP
parent to all who observed the practical
operation of the system, did not attract
the attention of the public generally; hut
the situation has been materially changed
since 1892, and hereafter it will not be oos-
sible to sacrifice revenue to protection
without seriously embarrassing the fiscal
without seriously embarrassing The
fiscal affairs of the government
by depriving it of an income
sufficient to defray its expenditures. If
the usual proportion of this income is
ported goods, the protective theory must
be abandoned as the basis of our legisla-
ton upon the subject and well consid
cred and consistent revenue system must
be substituted in it's place, and, in my
opinion, this can be done without material
injury to any trade or industry now exist
ing in this country"
After furnishing a long array of figures
to bear out his statements, the secretary
continues: eff this view is correct it is
evident that new objects of taxation must
be included in our tariff schedules, or the
attempt to secure the ultimate proportion
of revenue from customs be abandoned,
and some other methods of raising means
to support the government must be adopt

RAILROAD BACKS BRYAN.
Rio Grande Said to Have Contributed
$25. 900 to the Campaign Fund.

Denver, Aug. 2S.-Some importance
is attached to a report that appeared
today in an evening paper that is re-
ported to be the mouth-piece of David
H Moffatt, president of the First Ma
tionaI bank and the largest individual
mine owner in the west.
The article in question tells of a
meeting that was held in secret at the
Brown Palace hotel last evening for
the purpose of raising a fund to go to
WI St. John, treasurer of the national
silver committee, to aid in the canvass
of Bryan votes.
The situation was discussed, and
then the meeting is said to have been
officially informed that the Denver &
Rio Grande railway, which penetrates
the remotest parts Of the state, and is
supported almost entirely by the min
ing shipments, had decided to contrib
ute S25, 900 to the fund as a starter. If
more were needed the meeting was as
sured that it would be forthcoming at
the right time. David H. Monatt pre-
sided, and as his relations with the Rio
Grande as ex-president are intimate.
the announcement was accepted as
authentic without any further refer
ence Of the case to the bondholders,
who are chiefly residents of Holland.
a committee consisting of OttoAIears
N. P. Hill and D. H. Moffatt was ap-
pointed to consider how the assess
ment should be levied throughout the
state. The committee was instructed
to report before the end of the week.

POLICE CHASE A DEER.
Animal Had Escaped From the Park
in New York CITY.


New York, Aug. 28.-Mounted police
had long and spirited chase Of a deer
yesterday that had escaped from Van
Cortlandt park. 1t was one of the II
that had been removed from Central
park menagerie and placed in the more
roomy buffalo enclosure last Thurs
day.
The escape was soon discovered by
Sergeant England, who has charge of
all of the parks north of the Harlem
river, and with several policemen, on
good horses, started in pursuit of the
fugitive. But the deer, a meek-eyed
doe, was swift of foot, and, thoroughly
scared by the cries of the men behind,
gained rapidly upon them. Up and
down hill, over fences and bitches,
across and around lots, through under
brush and shrubbery it went, occa-
sionally pausing in its flight for free
dom to look back at its pursuers, but
only to find them always upon its
track.
Thus It continued for nearly three
miles, but it ended at Riverside There
the deer painting and almost exhaust
ed, was found in a fence corner, too
weak to leap or run. 1t struggled
feebly to get away as its pursuers ap-
preached, but it was easily overpow-
cred, made prisoner and led back to the
enclosure in the park.
