THE SILENT MARCH,

When the march begins in the morning
And the heart and the foot are light,
When the flags are all a-hutter
And the world is gay and bright,
When the bugles lead the column
And the drums are proud in the van,
It's shoulder to shoulder, forward, march!
All! let him lag who can!
For it's easy to march to music
With your comrades all in line,
And you don't get tired, you feel inspired,
And life is Il draught divine.
When the march drags on at evening
And the color-bearer's gone,
When the merry strains are silent
Ihat piped SO brave in the dawn,
When you miss the dear old fellows
Who started out with you,
When it's stubborn and sturdy, forward,
march
Though the ragged lines are few,
Then it's hard to march in silence,
And the road,has lonesome grown,
And life is a bitter cup to drink;
But the soldier must not moan.
And this is the task before us,
A task we may never shirk,
In the gay time aud the sorroWful time
We must march and do our work.
We must march when the music cheers US,
March when the strains are dumb,
Plucky and valiant, forward, march!
And smile. whatever may come.
For whether life's hard or easy,
The strong man keeps the pace,
!Or the desolate march and the silent
The StrOnu conl finds tho prooa

she went for Abigail with hair brush
and landed her one on the cheek with
the bristly side. My man, who is
sweet on the young woman, tells me
that she came down into the servants
hall sobbing, and with an outbreak
like measles all over her left cheek"
''Poor girl. But why was the fair
Louisa in such stew? Was it her
only bun?"
'No; she has another with her, my
man says, but it is less becoming; not
quite such a rich shade Of gold. I dare
say she was relying on that one to cap
tivate you with, old man. If SO, her
fury is easily understood"
'Umph! I wish it had been her
only one. Then she would not have
been able to show up; and T should
have had some peace with Amy"
"Have you yet-pardon my imper-
tinence-have you yet proposed to that
sweetest girl in the world?"
"No! I cannot get the chance.
Three times I've been just on the eve
Of it; and three times I've been inter-
rupted by that irrepressible Louisa.
I could wiring the woman's neck with
the greatest satisfaction" concluded
Buckley, viciously.

gentleman was silent and thoughtful

"And good for--something else."
'For what, then?''
''For certain little plan which has
just occurred to me-"
And with many winnings, chuck
lings, and abusive gestures, Mr.. Stur-
tivant proceeded to unfold his little
plan.

was covering Iouisa's hat, and at the
word, bang! went right and left. The
right knocked choice sample of mil
linery into shapeless ruin. The left
picked off the bun. It was a near
range and the effect was great Never
was bun so completely annihilated.
True, a few golden fragments were re-
covered by grinning beaters and keep
ers, and one of the dogs retrieved
part of the stufing, but the rest, in
thousand pieces, was whirled away by
the wind over the moors, never to re-
unite. There was no doubt on that
score. Louisa's bun, as bun, had
simply ceased to exist.
But who shall describe the agonies
Of the unhappy loser Of the bun?
Charles came to her rescue with his
deer stalker. She clutched it; she
clapped it on her head; she tied the
flaps securely beneath her chin. It
was sizes too large. It nearly smoth-
cred here. But she was thankful for
that, poor, shame-stricken Louisa!
Would that it had buried her from
sight altogether and eternally!
On the first opportunity she slipped
away unobserved from the shooters,
and made for home. Nor was she the
only defaulter from the party. Sensi.
tive, short-sighted Wellington was
too thin-skinned to bear the merciless
chaff with which he was assailed on
all hands for his little mistake. He
snatched up his gun and departed in a
fever of rage and modification.
That very afternoon he was tele.
graphed for by his partner on urgent
business, while Louisa was unexpect'
eddy summoned to the bedside OF
moribund grandmother. - London

MAUD DURRANT,
The Condemned Students Sister Studying
Abroad.

On the other side of the Atlantic,
in the German capital, Miss Maud
Durrant has for two years been wait
ing to know the fate of her only
brother, condemned to death for
murder in San Francisco. Little
has been said of this sister, far of
in a foreign land, and only the most
intimate friends of the Durrants
have realized the extent of her suf-
fering.
There has been considerable sur.
mise as to why she did not hasten
home Immediately after the arrest
of her brother, some time during the
trial, or after the sentence. People
have wondered whether she would
or would not come back if the ex.
treme penalty of the law should be
imposed. But no stranger knew
and the Durrants remained silent.
They have been careful from the
first to keep their daughter in the
background, screened from the pub
lie view.
The truth is that the sister across
the water has never for a moment
thought of neglecting her brother
if it shall become necessary for
him to give up his life.
At first the parents opposed the
return of their daughter. They
feared the nervous strain, the terri
BILE shock would be too severe a
tax on her health. They advised
her to remain where she was. But
in her loyalty to her childhood
playmate, Miss Durrant threw ad-
vice to the winds.
IF it comes to the worst, | shall
60 home to my brother" she wrote ;
81 could not be satisfied otherwise. p"
So her parents consented. They
felt that they could say no more.
The money for her fare was for
warded to Berlin and several times
during the past few months Miss
Durrant has packed her trunks and
prepared to start for home. Each
time she was prevented by favorable
news from her parents. The young
lady has been in constant commun-
ication with her parents by post
and cable since the first day of their
great sorrow.
Through all the dark days the
Durrant family have passed during
the last two years the sister has
never wavered in her faith that her
brother is innocent. And that is
the cheering messages she sends
him.
II have as much love for, and
confidence in you, today, Theo, as
l had that morning l kissed you
good-by, and whispered, BE good
boy, dear, and be sure to graduate. ,"

KLONDYKE TRAINING.
Valuable Hints for Those Who Visit the
Alaska Gold Fields.

An exchange takes cheerful view
of the situation and suggests the fol-
lowing course of training for those
contemplating a journey to the ice
fields of the upper Yukon:
Ride'on the front seat Of the grip
car in winter.
Eschew overcoats and undercloth-
ing.
Spend two hours day in the
Zero" room of a cold storage ware
house.
Keep your head cool.
If you play cards at all confne
yourself to freeze-out.
If married, ask your wife to let
you build the fires on January
mornings.
If single, send your sweetheart q
cookbook and call the next even
ing. Your. reception will be of a
temperature low enough to inure
you to most any climate.
Give your friends the cold stare
when they greet you.
As you will have to pack your
grub from Juneau to Dawson you
will need some muscle. Ask the
janitor of your building to call on
you when he wants coal carried
up to the top floor.
Battle in water in which ice is
floating. 1t Gains the nerves.
Rock the baby to sleep each night
In the cradle. The exercise will
accustom you to the work you ex-
pect to do in your mine.
Ice.
Outlets of dog. Snowflake mullins.
More ice.
Tallow q la mode. Lard frappe.
Some more ice.
Frosted pine cones.
Fricassee of icicle.
Clipped iceberg.
Sperm candle chilled. Glacier puffs.
After a month of this diet two
more months should be spent in
fasting. If. at the end of this time,
you still yearn for sudden wealth
you will be in condition to 20, bar

The Irish standard., 1897-05-15

The Associated Press reported sui
eide at Deadwood, South Dakota, the
other day, which deserves a notice in
these columns. One Pat Casey is said to
have made and lost several fortunes in
mining operations, and then embarked
in the saloon business at Deadwood He
did not prosper but met with reverses,
and finally lost all he had. Instead Of
trying to retrieve his fallen fortune and
bearing up like man, he became NOR
ose and Respondent, and terminated his
existence by committing self-destruc-
ton. He left behind Tim a letter saying
that he had mo home, no friends, no
money, no creed, no fear Of hell, no care
for heaven" That is miserable state
of mind for a man named Pat Casey to
go before the judgment seat of God. Was
that the real name, or was it an as
sumed one to conceal his identity? Few,
indeed, are the suicides among men
bearing such Irish Catholic names as
this Deadwood saloonkeeper. Any man
of sane mind bearing the cognomen of
Pat Casey would not shuttle off the NOR
tai coil in that lamentable manner.
