And drink the draught OF which old

That earthly friendships thrill their true

Since earth and Heaven are sundered by

much apart from the mild sociability
and neighborliness of the village life as
II their little farm had been in Hinuo-
stan.
And yet William was not parsimoni-
Gus by nature. Early training and ne
cessity had made him economical, and
circumstances had fostered his saving
turn. His wife was prudent and thrifty;
they had no children, and their wants
were few. To LAY by" therefore, day
after day, week by week, year in and

While Officer Coy is Doing His Duty
Someone Steals Danger Signal.
Captain Jake Coy, who patrols the
Alamo plaza beat from noon till mid
night and never arrests a man without
prOvOcatiOn, took a man to the station
last night, who did not know how to
behave himself ON the streets. While
the officer was gone some one stole
the globe of a lantern hanging to a
rope stretched across Avenue d at the
pOstoftice, serving as a signal for We
hicles to keep out while that street is
torn up for repairs. The globe was
not broken, as there was no glass on
the ground, but why the whole Ian
tern was not taken instead of only the
glObular adjunct remains unexplain-
ed. unless it be that the purloiner did
not want to have any light thrown on
him. In consequence of the missing
light Captain Coy was busy the bal
ance of the night in keeping drivers
not used to the ropes from steering
against them.

The water ousel of England can do the

Therearevery few insects that the swal-

parently troubling itself will keep a few
feet ahead of swallow for half an
hour at a stretch, and, no matter how
swiftly the swallow moves, the dragon
fly is never just there when it makes its
