Only life of barren pain.

left the main street, my curiosity lead
ing me still to follow them. When they
had reached an avenue of the outskirts
they stopped under a tent heavy with
rain, and seating themselves at table,
called for bottle of wine. The light
of the hanging lamp fell full upon
them, and saw their lepulsive faces
as, leaning on their elbows, they spoke
in low tones, apparently discussing
some Eliot. wg-
noticed that they watched keenly,
with signs to each other two liveried
Wallets who we're playing at cards near
them, with some pieces of money on the
table.
They were in the midst OF rabble of
holsters and Jockeys, who were making
great noise, drinking, shouting at the
waiter, quarrelline and abusing each
other. The air was filled with the odor
of stables.
But where was the little girl? Already
she had seated herself on the ground
among the feet of this motley gathering.
And a charming picture she made !!
From the torn newspaper she had fash
Toned two tiny carriages, and her hands,
first this one and then that, tossed from
| one carriage to the other the little
flower which she had rescued.
Now, | understand why she had seized
| the poor blossom SO eagerly and had
guarded it with such care. There in
the foul air. oblivious to all her SUI :
roundings, as she crouched down, with
her feet and tattered skirts in the mud,
she was initiating in this fanciful way
all the gaiety of the past day and, while
she tossed and caught in that one faded
flower all the thousand bouquets OF the
brilliant floral battle, her face shone
and she laughed with delight.
The smile on her lips and the joy in
her heart were sincere. Perhaps this
could not be said of all the worldly
beauties whose mimic warfare had SC
char med her.
She will soon, l thought, creep into
some gloomy den. where her sleep may
be broken by drunken euarrels, hui
never mind! For time, at least, for.
lorn little creature, she has been as
happy as those magnificent women
seemed to her.
Surely it must have been by the pity
of destiny that that little wild rose fell
from an awkward hand into the muddy
grass.

ANGER AND IT'S CAUSES.

Subjects.

Results of Some Scientific Study of These
Subjects.
Results of special study of anger
are published in the current annual
volume of the Psychological Review,
showing material collected from the
reports of reliable observers extending
over several years. The collection of ex-
periences comprises more than 1900
cases and includes curious confessions
Of trivial causes of yexation.
Many persons confess to personal
antipathies to certain physical char
acteristics in others, such as freokles,
peculiar laughter, red hair, bad teeth
or personal habits, such as smoking or
eating in a slovenly way.
The thought that one is sighted or
gossiped about rouses furious anger in
some cases. Others are provoked to
rage by overwork, teasing, ridicule, in
Justice or jealousy.
In all the cases reported on there
were physical sensations accompanying
the mental sense of anger.
Eighty seven pcr cent experienced
flushing and 81 per cent pallor, as a
characteristic of their anger. Sew eral

to fits of anger, are chronicled, and in

THE COUNTY HOSPITAL.
Trustees of the Poor Want an Appropria

Trustees of the Poor Want an Appropria-
ton of $4,000 From the Levy Court.
Some time ago the Trustees OF the
Poor decided to have county hospital
in connection with the almshouse at
Farnhurst and the name of the institu-
ton was changed to the New Castle
County Hospital. The hospital fenture
was rut in as good shape as possible
with the limited means at hand and
patients are treated there, but the trus-
tees feel very much handicapped, and a
more extensive equipment is necessary.
At the meeting of the board yesterday
weok the matter was brought up
and after being discussed for two hours
it was decided, on motion of MI.
Weldin, to ask the Levy Court for an
appropriation of S36, 900 next year. This
will include the fitting up and equip,
Ping of the fourth floor of the building
and properly heating it. After the plant
is installed it can be kept running at a
nominal expense.

NOWHERE.


-
The little town of Nowhere
see it in my dreams,
All shiminering and rosy,
And full of winding streams;
Where peace and joy together
Have banished mortal hates,
And never sinful longings
Besiege its outer gates.
IT'S there fond lovers wander,
And nightly hold their tryst,
When all the fields are lying
White with the twilight mist.
IT'S there sad hearts are lightened.
And SORROWS flee away,
Within the town of Nowhere,
As fades the parting day.
'Tis there the birds are singing,
The orchards are in bloom,
And all the air is freighted
With sweetness and perfume;
IT'S where it's always springtime,
And hearts are never old;
For all of earth's affections
Outweigh its greed and gold.
Upon its peaceful valleys
And sweet Arcadian sleeps
The golden sunlight fingers,
And light thesouth wind sweeps.
IT'S full Of hope and promise,
And tender are its skies
As the soft light that's beaming
In some fair maiden's eyes.
Within its messy caverns
And down its shady lanes
The charm is never broken,
And tranquil beauty reigns,
Oh, hasten now and enter
And cast yourslots who will
Within the town of Nowhere.
Where Pan is piping still.

AMATTER or POLICY.


j. w. Foley, Jr.
While honesty is policy
And truth jewel too. a
I'd hate to be the person
Who told everything that's true,
Who instead of lying glibly:
what lovely child is that "
Must in truth say to its mother:
"What an ugly little brat Y
Just suppose at some reception.
Entertainment should be slow.
And we fret and fume and lidget
As we often do. you know.
Who would care to make his farewell
Truthfuily to host and say:
ave been simply bored to death, sir,
And I'm glad to get away!"
Who would care to meet lady
Whom he hadn't seen for years,
Greet her pleasantly and tell her
How much older she appears?
How much nicer to lie glibly,
Lie sincerely, and to say:
"Why, it seems to me that you are
Growing younger every day!"
BE he saint or be he sinner,
Would mortal nan, forsooth,
Ever dare go out to dinner
If he had to tell the truthP
Say the roast was tough and tasteless,
Say the soup was seasoned wrong,
Say twas strange how weak the coffee
When the butter was 30 strong!
When the amateur canary
In the parlor MARBLES gay,
Like bizzsaw on a tantrum
Who would care to rise and say:
"Gocdness me. but how you flatted,
My. howshrill your high notes are,
have heard young calves that blatted
Better music-better far p
If to truth you have a leaning,
It's not always wise to say
What youthink on some occasions,
There's another, wiser way:
'Twixt your policy and conscience
Just effect a compromise,
And let what you think be truthful,
l. what you must tell be lies.

John Moore's Thrilling Experience in a
Runaway Accident.
A serious runaway accident occurred
yesterday week near Second and
Adams streets. The breaking of trace
caused the horse of Jonathan Joslyn, a
butcher in the Second street market,
to jump and kick and break the shafts

out on the street, but held ON to the
reins and was dragged some distance,
sustaining bruises to his hands and
knees. The horse compelled the driver
to let go of the Teins. The runaway

horse, as rule, is gentle and kind and
this is the first time that it has ever
run away. Mr.. Joslyn has owned her
number of years.

In all probability, having never cut
open, much less smoked, a cigar in
their lives. think that the small roll
Of leaf SO dear to the heart and purses
of other men is loaded with all sorts
Of infammable and dangerous ma.

"As a matter Of actual fact, cigars
are. as a rule, made Of pure, good to-
bacco, free from any 'doctoring' pro-
cesses or manipulations which add to
the already sufficient poisonous quail

narcotic in that element.
THE so-called 'doctoring' is largely
a matter of popular fiction The real
