Remarkable Tramp.

A remarkable tramp called at m
ELM street (Biddeford) residence and
offered to saw some wood for his
breakfast. He sawed awhile until his
breakfast was ready, and, after eating
that, he went to work again and sawed
so much that the lady of the house
felt it her duty to go out and tell him
that he was doing too much. And
after all the newspaper jokes to the
contrary! Probably the poor fellow

THE LADIES OF OLD cApiz.


I'd like to go to Cadlg,
Just to see those witching ladies,
Those witching, wltching ladies, where
the orange blossoms blow;
With their dainty cigarillas.
And their quito too sweet mantillas-
oh, to Cadlz, with its ladies, will go.
And when our guns were booming,
With pity quite consuming
Iwould Say, "Oh, charming ladies, please
to hustle now aboard;
For although we humble Oadlz
We don't war against the ladies,
And the ladies OF old Cadiz need not fear
the Yankee sword"
And With their cigarlllas.
And their oil to cute mantillas,
would load up every cruiser with this
fascinating crew;
And so by easy stages
would bring these fair hostages,
ALI these ladies Of old Cadiz, far across
the ocean blue.

number in 1896 5.4i3. In the legislative
branch OF the government under the sDois
system the number of employees during
that period increased from 15i 70 $40. Mr.
Mccall said the secret of the spokesman :
attack on the civil service was found in
the fact that the disappointed office seek

in office.

"Sunday Pleasures."

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Under the above heading in The Star OF
tie 9th instant w. opposes the enjoyment
"of the works of art, horticulture and
science" on Sunday This is on the ground
that mems thoughts should be turned ex-
clusively to religion on that day. W.'s ten
dency is to asceticism and Sunday piety."
Has he not forgotten the injunction, BE
not as the hypocrites, of sad countenance.
and the remcnstrance of the apostle with
the Galatians for their observance Of days
and months and seasons and years., which
he regarded bondage; and his instruc-
tion to the Romans: 'One man esteemeth
enc day above another; another esteemeth
every day alike. Let each man be fully
sured in his own nind?" What the apostle
ce1sured was that some attached import
aEce to Saturday and Others to Sunday as
a sacred day. The truth is, all days are
sacred; all belong to God. There is no eth
ical difference in periods of time. God may
be worshiped any day Of the week. But
mans nature is not built for prolonged In
trcspection. The human brain cannot long
stand meditation on any subject. religious
or other, fifteen hours at a stretch. That
way madness lies. Art embodies the higher
conceptions of liarmonies; groves were
Gods first temples; and science In the
classification of Gods works. How. then,
can-it oe wrong to think Of these for reas-
enable periods at any time? b.
