A Song for the Hopeless.

Has thy heart one vain wish? Then re-
press it, and keep
The hard road of thy duty, as the arrow
its flight.
As the bird wings it's trackless, lone
way through the night,
For nest in the reeds where the slow
waters creep
From the uplands down to some warm
rivers mouth,
So keep thou thy course till thou reachest
the South.
Thy South or thy North-little matters
the end;
The crowns in the doing. If risk
mine own soul
That sooner or laterI reach low goal,
It is only my SOULS low worth that
spend;
But the struggle, the steadfastness-
there lies my gain;
Gives my soul in the end strength meet
to its pain.
Grow strong by repression, not use. See
the sun,
How it scorches the plains, and the
rivers make dry;
So the grieved heart is scared by it's
passion; a sigh
Only mars, warps the soul, and the mis-
chief is done.
When man stands alone, with heart
under heel,
He's man, knows at asst how the
strong gods feel.
Then rejoice in thy courage to worts thy
desire,
Break free from the letters that shackle
thy heart!
He who feels the keen pain, and yet
laughs at the smart,
Who burns in the flame, while disdaining
the fire,
He is victor, not victim; has fathomed
Gods use
OF the soul of man, not Fortunes
abuse.
For what is thy life but struggle to
stand
Like man, firm, erect, with smile
on thy face?
The lilly may spring from noisome
place,
And the wild rose blow on barren strand
Be it rose, then, or soul, oh, abide the
last hour!
God waits through the growing te
judge of the flower!

A we'll directed effort is being
made in New York by Mr.. Ralph
Walco Urine, and in Boston by
Mr.. Geo. T. Angel, to obtain the
passage of laws which shall stop
the terrible cruelty of shooting
doves from traps. Professional
sportsman indulge in this cruelty
and generally select Sundays,
thus violating the Sabbath, also.
A law that permits club-men to
bet on pigeon shoots encourages
thousands of hoodlums to engage
in similar sports with smaller and
less expensive birds, or in other
sports still more brutal.-EOur

II had severe attack of bilious
collie, got a bottle of Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem
edy, took two doses and was entirely
cured" says Rev. A. A. Power, of
Emporia, Kan. "My neighbor
across the street was sick for over q
week, had two or three bottles of
medicine from the doctor. He used
them for three or four days without
relief, then called in another doctor
who treated him for some days and
gave him no relief, so discharged
him. I went over to see him the
next morning. He said his bowels
were in terrible fix, that they had
been running off so long that it was
almost bloody fux. I asked him if
he had tried Chamberlsin's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and
he said, NO I went home and
brought him my bottle and gave him
one dose; told him to take another
dose in fifteen or twenty minutes if
he did not find relief, but no took no
more and was entirely cured" For

wa.hineton,s Fastidious Kinsman.

Lawrence, earl Of Ferrers, q distant
relative Of George Washington, had
most tyranpical temper, and one day in
a fit Of passion he cut down with his
sword his steward, an old gentleman
named Johnson. The latter had given
no provocation for the deed, and the
crime was an act Of brutality inexcusa-
BILE save that the earl may not have
been well balanced mentally. He was
brought to trial for killing Johnson
and demanded and received the privi-
lege Of being tried by his peers.
The house Of lords was thronged dur
ing the hearing. The evidence proved
to be conclusive, and Ferrers was SEN
fenced to be hanged at Tyburn. Ap-
peals were made to the king for Glenn
ency, but In vain. Ferrers met his fate
with considerable bravado. He was
carefully attired for the occasion and
insisted on providing silken cord for
the ceremony. To this whim the execu-
toner agreed, and the earl was turned
of otherwise like any other felon.

Police FAN to Find Stranger.

Evansville, Ind. Nov. 15.-That this
city holds stranger who seeks wom-
en- as his victims is the theory of
many since the mysterious murders of
Mrs. Georgia Railey and Miss Lena
Renner. The remarkable circum-
stances Of the crimes have aroused
general alarm and baffied explanation.
The police, after thirty-six hours of
search, have not found single clew
that gives promise of definite results.
Not an arrest has been made, no trace
Of the buggy or buggies used has been
found, no one who could describe the
stranger seen with each woman has
reported, no possible motive for the
slaying Of either victim has devel-
oped, and the authorities apparently
are as much at sea as they were wher
the crimes were reported first.
