DEATH.

By Herman Merrivale. Miscall me not. Men have miscalIed me
 much, Have given hard names and harsher
 thoughts to me, Reviled and evilly treated me, Built me strange temples as an unknown
 god
 Then called me idol, devil unclean thing. And to rude insult, bowed my godhead down.
 Miscall me not, for men have marred my form And in the earthborn grossness of their thoughts Have coldly modelled me of their own clay Then fear to look on that themselves have made. Miscall me not. Ye know not what am, But ye shall see me face to face and know,
 I take all sorrows from the sorrowful And teach the joyful what it is to joy. I gather in my landlocked harbor's clasp The shattered vessels of a vexed world. And even the tiniest ripple upon life Is to that calm sublime as tropic storm, When other leechcraft fails the breakins
 brain
 I only own the anodyne to still Its enddies to visionless repose. The face distorted with life's latest pane
  wing, And from beneath the quiet eyelids steal The hidden glory of the eyes to give A new and nobler beauty to the rest. Belle me not. The plaques that walk the
 earth,
 The wasting pain, the sudden agony, Famine and war and pestilence and all The terrors that have darkened round
 my name, These are the works of life: thev are
 not mine vex when I tarry. vanish when I come, Instantly melting into perfect peace AS at his word whose master spirit l The troubled waters slept on Galiiee Tender am, not cruel. When take The shape most hard to human eye and
 pluck
 The little baby blossom yet unbiown, 'Tis but to graft it on a kindlier stem. And. leaping OCT the perilous years of
 growth,
 Unwept of sorrow and unscathed of
 wrong.
 Clothe it at once with rich maturity, Iris that give a soul to memory. For round the follies of the bad I throw The mantle of kind forgetfulness, But canonixed in dear loves calender I sanctify the good forevermore. Miscall me not. My generous fullness
 lends
 Home to- the homeless. to the friendiess
 friends. To the starved babe the mothers tender
 breast
 Wealth to the poor. and to the restless
 rest.

THE 1sTH OF SEPTEMBER.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 The nineteenth of September!
 What day of fate or. rather, what a day of history-n1akfngt
 On the nineteenth of September, 1881, President Garfield died, having been shot by the assassin Guitau some months previously.
 On the nineteenth of September, 1901. President Mckinley was buried having fallen a victim to the assassin Csolgos1.
 On the nineteenth of September there should have been registered, and there doubtless was, a vow on the part of the American people that hereafter this land of the free shall not be used as an asylum for anarchists and assassins.

FUTURE OF THE WHITE HOUSE

From the New York World.
 The executive mansion in Washington, for years overcrowded by It's miscellane- ous uses, Is more than ever inadequate to house the largest Presidential family ever taken to the capital. Though a splendid and stately mansion, its rooms are spacious rather than numerous. and so much of it is used by clerks, copy ists, messengers and other minor officiais that unless some remedy can be devised the home life of the Roosevelts must be interrupted the family broken up and part of it's members lodged elsewhere. To meet these conditions the following meas ures are proposed:
 1. A new White House.
 ?. An addition to the present mansion,
 3. The restoration of the mansion to It's intended use as an official residence and the erection in the grounds near by of an unobstrusive once building for the clerks.
 f. The use of the White House as the Presidents office merely, housing his family elsewhere
 The first alternative Is impossible the fourth scarcely better. The White House is inwovsn with the history of the coun- try, with the life of the republic. Every President except Washington has lived l in 1t; marriage and birth and death. war vigils and peace feasts have filled every nook and corner with memories great and touching, pitiful or proud. It must be retained, and retained as a residence. If Congress decides upon It's enlargement a careful plan has been prepared which preserves tts beauty and respects it's his- tory, while adding harmoniously to its space. Conservative action to leave the White House untouched and provide business offices near by might for sen- timental reasons be decided upon.

The Passing of an old Slave.

"0ld Uncle Billie Is deadl Who was her One of those oId-time before-the-war negroes, of whom there are very few now left; one who never lost proper respect for the white man, who was ever respect ful and affectionate. We all of Us loved him for his merits, and we are glad his worthy life was spent in sunny haunts. We loved him. even as he loved us. and we made him to large extent our com panion in quiet hours.
 And Uncle Billie loved our cause in the long years of the war between the states. Once he was captured by Federal soldiers, together with three horses that belonged to white folks of the neighborhood He es- capped from the FederaIs, carrying away with him the stolen horses, which he travelled far to restore to their owners.
 "'Is come back home.' he said, an heres de horses what de Yankees took
 ''He was warmly welcomed by his old white cronfes, and was a hero to them.
 'In 1885 Bill Lavender came to Birm- ingham with his former master, and the two camped out together and ate together on the road, being comrades the while and boon companions
 "This black but noble old Uncle Billie died this mornig, and many manly tear has been shed for him today, for all of us loved him much as one of ourselves. He sleeps now, sleeps for ever, his faith ful old frame worn by the wear of five and seventy years.
 "Uncle Billie will be sent back to his old Tennessee home tonight in casket that cost a half a hundred dollars, and he will be laid to rest beside de old oman and de chi1lun, long gone to God before him. This much is the last service the southerner can do the old slave he loved"
 This little story of great truth comes hfther peficf1ed upon a cypress shingle. The story Is a story of the real south; the hand that wrote its substance is the hand of former Mayor Tom Jeffers of Birmingham.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the. New York Press.
 Mourning hides a multitude of other feeling.
 We water our grief with tears to grow afresh.
 Little children grow to be old men; old men to be little children.
 It is not enough for the average wom- an to be happy. She must be happier than anybody else around her.

A kINckERRocKER PRESIDENT,

From the Boston Transcript as,
 A Knickerbocker President is something new to present generations of Americans. Van Buren was Roosevelt's one predeces- sor from the Dutch stock When that venerable but little venerated public functionary" James Buchanan, was whirled into oblivion by the cyclone of civil war, the presidency was carried off to the West and out of the social class to which, with only the terrible break in the case of Andrew Jackson it had been assigned as by prescriptive right Of the series of Western Presidents succeeding Lincoln, only Harrison had a grand father" The two New York Presidents who had broken into the Western line, though of most respectable lineage. could neither of them be said to have been born in the purple" like Theodore Roosevelt. Like Jackson and Johnson, Arthur was of Irish ancestry, and Cleve- land of New England stock. The great Virginian line were all of English stock. The new thing for modern days in Roose- velt's succession is that once again the Dutch stock sits in the Presidents chair
 It speaks volumes for the homogeneity of the nation. after all. that to this day no representative of the German, French, Italian, Spanish or other continental race except the Dutch-nether Scandinavian, Slav nor Hebrew-has been Presideuk

Sweet Pickles Very Scarce.

Lovers of sweet pickles will have to deny themselves that toothsome relish or be content to pay very high prices for the coming year." said Paul Gilardoni, the cafe man.
 Practically there are no sweet pickles on the market. Some time ago we or dered twenty barrels for delivery this fall. The order will be filled within the next week or two, but fifteen barrels will be the ordinary sour pickles.
 How do you account for this short ageT'
 "The late vegetable crops out of which sweet pickles are made. failed on account of the prolonged drouth throughout the country. and SO manufacturers were un- able to pat up the usual quantity. There is an abundant supply of sour pickles, for these can be and are imported in large quantities from Germany and other countries while sweet pickles are made exclusively in this country"
