Til. REST OF THE WAY ALONE.

Slowly lie passed from the house of God,
Der the path his feet from his youth had
trod.
And he said, in sad, grief-laden tone,
The rest of the way, l must go alone"
He had lived for nearly three-score years,
And she, who shared his hopes and fears,
To rest meath the summer flowers had
gone,
And the rest of the way, he must go alone.
lie thought Of the time, long years ago,
When the form, now laid in the church
yard low,
Beside him, fair young bride had gone
From that church he was leaving now
alone.
The sunbeams, to-day, as brightly glow
As OH that morning, so long ago.
But the light from his heart and home
had gone,
The way was dark, he must go alone.
And over, in thought, he lived each year,
When she walked beside him, to bless
and cheer;
And he pined for the gentle, loving tone
Ofthe sweet, sweet voice; he was all alone.
Few tears he wept, and few words he
said,
When others spake of the loved one
dead;
But ever, still small voice made moan,
In his silent heart, alone, alone
And the drops his eyes refused to shed,
Fell on his heart, like molten lead
And his form grew bent, and his face
was strewn
With lines of grief, he was all alone.
Thick fell the frost OH his wrinkled brow,
Till his raven locks grew white as SNOW.
Not long had the weary man to moan,
The rest of the way, must go alone"

Seven Thoughts
New York Weekly

More flies are caugh; with honey
than with vinegar.
If you would not be known to do
Il thing never do It.
1t may be said that yesterday
suggests, tomorrow promises, but
today accomplishes.
It is difficult to say who does
the most mischief, enemies with
the worst intentions or friends
with the best.
There lsa great struggle between
vanity and patience when we have
TO meet person who admires lis
but bores Us.
Beware of prejudices. A mans
mind is like rat trap; prejudices
creep i'll easily, but it is doubtful
If they ever get out again.
A good and wise man may at
times be angry with the world
and also greived at it 4; but no man
can ever be long discontented
with the world if he does his duty

Caffery on the New Tariff Bill.
Washington Post.

"There is one political effect of
this new tariff bill which must
not be lost sight Of, said Senator
Catfery, of Louisiana, to the Post
yesterday.

have been adopted and the general
scheme of the bill will alienate
the gold Democrats. Full forty

honesty of the government, but
never fora moment supposing that
the first act of the Republican
administration would be the en-
actment of such an infamous bill
as soon is to become Il law. If all
the gold Democrats had voted for
Palm,af and Buekner instead of for
Mckinley, it would have resulted
IN the election of Bryan. In the
future the gold Democrats will
vote for their own candidate and
will not contribute to Republican
success"
"And then will silver win!"
Not necessarily. By 1900 the
cause of silver will be SO riddled
that the Democrats who now up
hold /. will not go to the country
with it for an issue. The greatest
stronghold of silver is in the
South, and in that section it is
losing ground daily. Thousands
of Southern Democrats voted for
Bryan in order to be regulars, but
they will not do SO again. The
towns and cities are now all
against free coinage of silver, and
the rural districts will change be-
fore the next Presidential cam
paign.'

PASTE AND DIAMOND.
BY AGNES JAMES,

Louise Barrett had just left the
cottage, which she and her mother
occupied, at the Forest Springs, a
pretty little watering place in the
mountains, well known to many
of my readers. Louise was one of
the prettiest girls there. She had
such lovely, laughing, blue eyes
such soft, brilliant color, such
glorious auburn hair. She was ap-
parantly, too, SO winning and
child-like, though there were those
who said that she was really sly
and treacherous, and her frank
and atfectionate manner was only
put on to, deceive.
From the next cottage, almost
at the same instant, emerged Car
melite lie Verrier; dressed in airy,
white muslin, with a quaint fchu :;
bare-headed, carrying in her hands
that were joined behind her, her
broad-brimmed hat. She smiled
and nodded to Louise; but that
was all; and hurried on to Join
Mrs. Sutherland, "the dearest,
sweetest old lady in the world" as
Carmelite was wont to call her.
Ayoung gentlemen, who had been
lettering listlessly about, advanced
hurriedly at sight of Carmelite.
But before he could reach her, he
had to pass Louise, who, with a
start of affected surprise, called
to him. Too well-bred to refuse.
he stopped and joined her, though
chafing in secret at the necessity.
"Mr. Keith! Is it possible?''
she cried, with affected surprise.
"When did you arrive? How
glad | am to see you"
She IS even more beautiful, he
thinks, than she was last summer.
He lifts his hat, and takes the
hand; and holds it until she
draws 1T away, coloring prettily.
They walk on slowly, chatting in
low tones, she looking up and
down at him with shy, sweet CO.

eyes. After little, Louise says
Come with us, Carmelite; We
are going for a walk"
"Thanks But not this after
noon," she says. II have already
asked Mrs. Sutherland to let m,
join her. And she draws away
very gently, but decidedly.
The two parties separate, anC
take different ways. II wonder ,
says Mrs. Sutherland, after a mo

made no reply.
Meanwhile, Louise says to he

This is the age of hustling. As
the New York Herald says: a
merchant may have the finest
wares oftheir kind on earth, but
if he goes asleep and waits for
the people to discover the merits
of his goods he is liable to get
left. " There's reason why
this is so-people haven't time to
go from store to store to hunt up
the things which they need. As a
rule they do their exploring among
the advertisements. If they find
promising indications there they
FOLLOW them up. In any case,
they go instinctively to the stores
they know of--the stores that beck
on to them through the newspa-
perS.
