SAND.

| observed locomotive in the railroad
yards one day,
1t was waiting near the round-house
where the locomotives stay.
1t was painting for the journey; it was
coaled and fully manned,
And it had box the fireman was filling
full of sand.
It-appears that locomotives can not al
ways get grip
On their slender iron pavement, cause
the wheels are apt to slip,
So when they strike slippery spot
their tactics they demand,
To get grip upon the rail they sprinkle
it with sand.
It's about this wav with travel along
life's slippery track;
Ii your load is rather heavy you are al
ways sliding back:
So if common locomotion you complete
ly understand,
You'll provide yourself in starting with a
good supply of sand.
If your track is steep and hilly and you
strike heavy grade,
And if those who've gone before you
have the rails quite slippery made
If you ever reach the summit of the up
per table land,
You'll find you'll have to do it with a
liberal use of sand.
If you strike some frigid weather and
discover, to your cost,
That you are liable to slip on a heavy
coat of frost,
Then some prompt decided action will
be called into demand,
And you'll slide way to the bottom if
you hav'nt any sand.
You can get to any station that is on
life's schedule seen,
If there's fire beneath the boilers of am
bition's strong machine.
And you'll reach a place called "Flush-
town" at rates of speed that's
grand
l. at all the slippery place, you've a
good supply of sand.
Then have the sand" the moral cour
age to testify the truth,
No matter though thy steps are slow or
strong with hope of youth;
We've got the men and got the ''sand,'
To meet the enemies from any land.

THE MoNEYLEss MAN.

The following poem was written by
Maj. Henry L. Stanton on his return
home to Maysville. KY. at the close of
the war, and gained for him country
wide celebrity. This gifted and genial
gentleman now lies sleeping beneath the
sod, but he left works and deeds behind
him that will ever keep his memory
green:
Is there no secret place on the face of
the earth,
Where charity dwelleth, where virtue
has birth?
Where bosoms in mercy and kindness
will heave,
Where the poor and the wretched shall
ask and receive?
Is there no place at all, where a knock
from the poor,
Will bring a kind angle to open the door?
All, search the wide world wherever you
can,
There is no open door for a moneyless
man.
Go, look in yon church of the cloud
reaching spire,
| Which gives to the sun his same look of
red fire,
Where the arches and columns are gor-
geous within,
And the walls seem as pure as a soul
without sin;
Walk down the long isles, see the rich
and the great
In the pomp and the pride of their
worldly estate;
Walk down in your patches, and find, if
you can,
Who opens pew to moneyless man.
Go, look in the banks, where Mammon
has told
His hundreds and thousands of silver
and gold,
Where safe from the hands of the starv-
ing and poor
Go up to their counters; All, there you
may stay
Til your limbs grow tired, It'll your
hairs grow gray,
And you'll find at the bank not one of
the clan
With money to loan to the moneyless
man.
Go, look to your Judge, in his dark
flowing gown,
Where the scales wherein law weigheth
equity down,
Where he frowns on the weak and smiles
on the strong,
And Furnishes right while he justifes
wrong;
Where iuries their lips to the Bible have
laid
To render a verdict they're already
made:
Go then, in the courtroom, and find, if
you can,
Any law for the cause of a moneyless
mai.
Then go to your hove-no raven has fed
The wife who has. suffered too long for
her bread;
Kneel down by her pallet, and kiss the
death frost
From the lips Of the angle your poverty
lost;
Then turn in your agony upward to God,
And bless, while it smites you, the
Christening rod,
And you II find at the end of your life's
little span
There's welcome above for money
less man.

THEN AND NOW.

| wish | had been grandpa's child,
That could have had the Joy
OF fishing in those good old days
When father was boy.
For then the fish grew bigger far
Than they do nowadays,
And literally packed the streams
At least so father says.
They never caught sucker then
That didn't weigh ton,
And pickrel were longer than
A modern Armstrong gun.
They used TO yank out halibut
In hundreds from our bays,
And shad ran up the banks to bite
At least, so father says.
They never thought of using bait
To lure the willy trout;
They reached bushel basket down
And simply yanked them out.
And in about an hour or two
They'd fill up several drays
And show them through the neighbor-
hood
At least, so father says.
In short, they caught SO many fish
That fore their sport was through
The stream where they were fishing
would
Go down yard or two.
And not an angler failed to come
Home loaded in those days
A habit father still pursues
At least, 60 mother says.

RESULT OF ANNEXATION.
Boers In Trnnsvaai WIN iie Treated ~ Reb.
els-Reports from Orange River Not
Encouraging to the british.

London. Sept. 6.-Lord Roberts nn-
ncxation of the Transvaal Is generally
regarded as proof that, in the opinion
OF the military authorities. both ut
home and in South Africa, the war Is
practically over. Nevertheless there
has been n good deal Of miscellaneous
fighting in various parts of the am
nexed republics. II Is thought, how
ever, that Bothn is merely fighting to
cover the removal of his transport and
supplies from Lydenburg. and that he
will retire to the mountains further
north, where the next stand will he
made. The effect of the annexation
proclamation will be to cause the
Trnnsvaal burghcrs now in arms to be
treated as rebels and forfeit bclligcr-
ent rights. 1t is hoped that by this
means the hopclcssness Of further re-
sistnnce will be steadily brought home
to the Beers. But the experience OF
the Orange River colony is not alto
gether encouraging. After six months
annexation, the burghers are still in
arms in the eastern Free State, and in
sufficient number TO put British
garrison in danger OF surrendcring.

EMPRESS STILL A REBEL.
Latest Reports show That she u Plotting
with Natives ca Extsrminate the
Hated Foreigners

London, Sept. 6.-No official pro-
nouncement is yet forthcoming here
in regard to the decision of the pow
ers concerning China, but the con-
census of opinion continues suggestive
OF n compromise on the proposals
now under consideration. In the
meanwhile, there is little authoritative
indication that the downger empress
Is ready to treat for peace even IL the
allied powers reach an agreement In
regard to the best means to opening
negotiations. On the contrary, many
rumors suggest that she is carrying
on her anti-foreign policy with in
creased zeal. The latest reported inn
pcrinl decree from Tai Yuan Flu is said
to he defiant and unrcpentant and to
contain the statement that the court
fed lest the emperor might be killed
during the fighting between the box
crs and Christians and thus leave no
one to continue the ancestral wor-
ship" The decree is also said to ex-
hort union of the viceroys to
"avcnge injuries inflicted on China"
by the powers.
