o blessed word "remrmbereth,"
So often we forget;
We knew our dear ones weaknesses-
We would be kiDd-and yet
Some quick, sharp word of Gliding harsh
Breaks from US unawares,
Unheeded till "as we forgive
Confronts US In our prayers
But he remembers always,
All the earthly fretting, care,
Burdens that press on nerve and brain
Until they scarce can bear
Our weary striving day by day
He sees us weak and frail,
Yet never for one moment
Do His love and pity fail.
And when sometimes the brain no more,
SO worn with tofling days,
Can range in words our hearts desires,
Our thoughts of grateful praise;
When we can only call His name
As grieved children cry,
Then quick as mothe RS love responds

RIVER TRAFFIC IN OLD TIMES.
Steamboat Captain Laments the De-
cadence of the Floating Palace.

Steamboat Captain Laments the De-
cadence of the Floating Palace
1T looks something like it used to
look, but it amt the old public land
ing, for a fact" was The remark of an
old steamboat man, who years ago was
a clerk on an Ohio river steamboat.
But for many years Captain Davidson
had been on the Upper Mississippi, and
his reflections had a mOurnful tinge.
Why, l remember when the steam
boats were two and three deep at that
wharf, and some Of them had to wait
a day or two for room to unload. And
it was common case for a boat to
bring in 200 passengers, and on the
levee trucks were thicker than street
cars on Fountain Square. Ireckon the
railroads have played the mischief with
boating interests here just as they have
done everywhere.
And look up there at the Spencer
House. Why, that was a fashionable
hotel before the war, and prices were
81 and 50 a day. put up there when
l came to this town on my wedding
trip on the old Scioto. Why, they had
dances there that all the best people
attended, and good many of them
didn't get invited, either. Now look at
the house. Why you could rent a
room for 81 a week, | reckon. and be
mighty sorry afterward that you paid
that much. And right over the street
stands part of the old Broadway Ho-
tel. 1t was older than the Spencer
House, and old Captain Cromwell knew
how to keep a hotel He was one OF
the old time gentlemen !ways anxious
TO see his guests have a good time.
And now half the hotel is gone to
make room for the bridge and the 9TH
er half is not reminder Of what the
house was like in its best DAYS. Why.
my father told me that he was in Gin
cinnati at one time when Henry Clay
spoke from a balcony Of a hotel. and,
though Cincinnati was only a small
city then, Broadway was crowded from
the landing to Columbia street.
"All the old stores are gone. too. and
the old merchants, too. There was a
big iron store run by the Shoenbergers,
of Pittsburg, and TRADER & Aubrey had
a big grocery right next to them. And
the big boat stores were thick all along
the river front, and they did a big busi-
ness, for it took lots of supplies to run
boats that were carrying hundreds Of
passengers. But times have changed.
and it looks kind of quiet-like around
here now. Cincinnati Tribune.
