HIS OWN FAULT.
Inquest in the Case of the Man Killed
Near Elk Grove.

A Coroner's Jury last evening held
an inquest on the remains of the un-
known man killed by train near Elk
Grove on Saturday morning, and
brought in a verdict exonerating the
engineer of all blame, and finding that
death resulted from the carelessness of
the deceased.
The story of the accident, as told by
the engineer. did not differ materially
from the account of the accident pub
lished in the Record Union" The
man stepped on the track as the train
was approaching, and facing the engine
waited until it struck him.
In one of the coat pockets of the dead
man was a memorandum book contain
ing the address, .243S Market street,
San Francisco" and several other ar
ticles which it was hoped might lead to
his identification. This was, however,
not the case, and the name of the un-
fortunate yet remains unknown.

Whit the Chimnex Sang.

Over the chimney the night wind sang
And chanted Il melody no one knew;
And the woman stopped as her babe she
tossed.
And thought of the one she had long since
lost.
And said. as her tear drops back she
forced:
81 hate the wind in the chimney"
Over the chimney the night wind sang
And chanted a melody no one knew:
And the children said. as they closer drew:
''Tis some witch that is cleaving the
black night through
Tis fairy trumpet that just then blew
And we fear the wind in the chimney"
Over the chimney the night wind sang
And chanted melody no one knew;
And the man, as he sat on his hearth be-
low,
Said to himself: "It will surely snow,
And fuel is dear and wages low.
And I'll stop the leak in the chimney"
Over the chimney the night wind sang
And chanted melody no one knew;
But the poet listened and smiled. for he
Was man and woman and child. all three,
And he said: ut is Gods own harmony,
This wind that sings in the chimney"

The secret word that the summer brings;
And the burdened boughs of the forest

Green little thoughts from the soul Of

OF morrow clothe us every one.
And some are dotards, who believe
And glory in the days of old;
While some are dreamers, harping st.
Upon an unknown age of gold.
But there be others. happier far,
The vagabOndish sons of God.
Who know the players and the flowers.
And care not how the world may plod.
They, too, receive each one his day:
But their wise hearts know many things
Beyond the sating of desire,
Above the dignity of kings.
One remember kept his coin.
And laughing Tipped it in the air:
But when two strolling pipe players
Came by, he tossed it to the pair.
Spendthrift of joy, his childish heart
/ Danced to their wild. Outlandish bars;
Then supperless he laid him down
That night and slept beneath the stars.
