THE DowAGER.

THE DOWAGER. $500
Girls about her in n flock,
Like roses round n hollyhock.
Laughter, motion, gliding grace,
Youths fresh luster i'll face.
All the things that sweetest were
Yonder sits the dowager.
Bravely still she smiles indeed,
Placid i'll her cap and weed.
Plies the lorgnette left and right
With hand still lily white.
All. but the pinch'd heart of her
Poor old wistfIl dowuger!
Once for her the starry lights
And the waltzes' birdlike flights.
Once bosom all a-throb,
Sigh of rapture like sob.
Watts of violet and myrrh-
Poor old dreaming dowageri
Snow whirl Of white drapery,
Laces like the wind whipped sea,
Feet that Knocked the swallows wing.
Ever lightly vanishing.
Heart and Joy with soul astir-
Such was once the dowager.
Now she fain remembers all
While the waltzes rise and fall,
And the subtle, soft perfume
Hovers ghostlike in the room.
Perished hopes and fancies stir
Poor old wrinkled dowageri
Better would she be, trow,
Where the quiet hearth Goals glow,
And the seer's lofty page
Rears a temple fit for age.
NayS Her moon dead youth for herr
Frivolous old dowagerl

Erysipelas
Afflicted for More Than Twenty
Years No Symptoms Of the
Trouble Since Taking Hoods.

For more than 20 years was troubled
with erysipelas and : have derived so
much benefit from Hoods Sarsaparilla 1
feel it my duty to recommend it. The
erysipelas appeared on my head and
was attended with great swellings,
intolerable heat, severe pain, drow-
siness and at times delirium. Physicians
prescribed for me, but with only tempo
rary relief. About year and half ago 1
began taking Hoods Sarsaparilla and
took four bottles. Since then I have not
had the leas symptom of erysipelas. I am
also feeling better in every way" MRS.

An Oriental Savage.

King Chulalongkorn of Siam is
much interested in the eruptions of
Vesuvius, and his last pleasure trip
on European soil was the ascent of
the volcano. AT the crater he had
the guide throw in several gold and
silver coins as an offering to the ele-
ments. The guide retained the pieces
and substituted for them copper,
whereupon the king had him arrest
ed and wished to throw him into the
crater himself, in accordance with
oriental ideas of punishment, but
the laws of Italy would not allow it.

Will me Robin Sing There /

The following was the favorlte
poem of little Nina Wyatt and
was found in her school desk in
the Shlnnston public schools, as.
ter her death
Will the robins sing i'll that land,
That land SO fair and so far,
That lies, as our souls fondly dream.
In the depth of the upper most star :
Will the violet bloom in that land,
And the MOSES so sweet and SO shy,
Will the dear common things that we
love,
In the dim, distant deeps OF the sky
Will the children sing in that land,
All the sweet simple songs Of the earth,
And shall we rejoice and be glad
In their music and frolicsome mirth
"Oh will there be friends in that land,
Friends who love and rejoice in love,
Will they look, will they speak, will
they smile ?
Like our own mid the strangeness above!
..oh ,shall we have homes in that land,
To return to where'er we may roam
On the heart would be lonely, and sad
Fen in heaven il we had not q home.
/ lovenot the new and the strange.
But friend and the clasp Of his hand,
oh i would that my spirit would know
That the robin would sing. in that land.

Civil Service.

Last week the TELEGRAM al.
luded to the growing dissatisfac-
ton resulting from Mr.. Cleve-
lands extension of the civil SER
vice rules. Every day some new
light is thrown upon the matter
THAT tends to increase this spirit
of antagonism against such sham
reform as was promulgated by
the late Democratic president
Even the Philadelphia Press thai
has heretofore, and in fact until
within the last few days, defend
ed civil service with such vehem.
ence and logic has weakened and
says. this week, editorial.y
1T is true. however, that the
civil service law has been pre-.
served and abused and that some
things have been done in the
name of reform which we're cal
culated to bring it into contempt.
President Cleveland had the best
chance which any Executive has
ever had to establish the reform
on q just, sure and permanent
basis. = But 1t is equally true
that his chief extensions Of the
rules were made towards the
close of each of his administra-
tions, after he had displaced his
opponents and installed his par.
tisans. He did not content him
self with an equalization. He let
the axe swing until he had put
out most of his antagonists and
put in most of his friends. Then
he extended the rules so that the
game he had played could not be
played on the other side. III it
had been played with any degree
of fairness the result would be
freely accepted. But SO far as
the Departments as Washington
are concerned it was so plainly
manageable secure possession Of
the places and then to fasten
control that II has brought the
administration Of the law into,
contempt. I II q way can
be found TO rectify these wrongs
tits natural and just that itshould
be tried. The principle Of the
law will be extended until it
shall come to rule substantially
the whole service; but meanwhile
the obliquity which uses the
name of reform as q cloak to
trample on its spirit must excite
general condemnation"
