LAuRELED,

Back from the strenuous wars he comes
10 me,
He is my son, grown brown, with
strange SCARED hands;
The months of blood and death in alien
lands
Are in his face; his boyish will to be
Is four-fold won. glow and weep to
see
The trodden meadow blackened with
the bands
OF bearded, marching men whom he
commands
With being rearranged he comes to me.
l, small beside him, try to utter prayers;
I, honored for the laurels that he wears
God knows, God knows | stand with
empty arms.
And lonesome heart no need of praises
warns
crush the laurel branch. oh, God,
miss
The soft-mouthed baby can never
kiss.

at the remark; and when the two gen.
tlemen went to search the house, they
stood with their back to their chamber
doors, daring them to enter. and they
did not.
All the servants were discharged the
next day, and two weeks after the
whole of New York rang with the story
of one of the most horrible murders
that had ever been committed. One
of the victims was not quite dead when
the crime was discovered, although
she expired few hours after the fear
full injuries she had received. But she
lived long enough to be the means of
bringing the dread band to justice. A
widow lady, with her two grown-up
daughters, three younger children and
their governess, resided in one of the
new streets uptown; they were COM
fortably off, and the lady, whose name
was Maynard, was in the habit of keep
ing rather large sum of money in her
desk.
Her house was broken into by men
with white masks, and the whole of
the family slaughtered with the ex-
ception of the governess, who lived
long enough to tell the story. She had
been left for dead by the monsters,
who decamped after their deed of
blood with all the valuable they could
find. And it appeared that two new
servants Mrs. Maynard had engaged
a few days before were in league with
the robbers, and had assisted them in
the commission Of their crimes. The
servants were arrested, and, finding it
was all up with them, the youngest,
who turned out to be no other than our
Margaret, confessed to having been
engaged in no less than fourteen bur-
glaries. The band had several women
in their employ; their part was to get
places, and by that means let the men
into the houses. Moreover, she ac-
knowledged that their motto was
Dead men tell no tales" so they gen
orally added murder to robbery. The
whole band was broken up after that:
but we never forgot the escape we had
had and were most particular after,
while in New York, to have our rooms
upstairs.-New York News.

Tariff Bill of Germany.

Berlin, July 28.-The bourse took a
pessimistic view of the tariff bill, and
general fall in the prices of iron and coal
shares resulted.
The Lokal Anzeiger learns that the
members of the bundesrath regard it GER
tain that the bill will not pass that body
in its present form, and they expect con-
siderable changes will be made therein,
especially as Emperor William is DESTROYS
of new commercial treaties.

Advantages of the Doctor.

Physicians, like clergymen, are con-
cerned in trying to make their fellow
men better, but they have a great adj
vantage over the clerical brethren in
being able to shape their lives accord
Ing to their whims and necessities with
out undue criticism from their fellows.
We prefer that our doctors should he
good men. We insist that they shall
have a high degree of professional
honor. We expect them not to be un-
duly mercenary, and not to grudge a
fair measure of their time to the public
service. But we don't concern our
selves about what they eat, or drink. or
smoke, or how they choose to have
their share of sun, says writer in
Harper's Weekly. We don't even in
sist that they shall practice what they
preach, and we should be disappointed
II we did, for though doctors spend
their lives in efforts to induce people to
take care of their health, it is unusual
Tor busy doctor to take even ordinary
care of himself. His sleep is broken,
MS meals are irregular, he overworks
himself; very likely he smokes too
much. But as long as our confidence In
MS skill is unimpaired we don't criticise
him.
Doctors are supposed to know what
Is good for themselves, and in their
hands we leave the responsibility for
their own cases as we'll as for ours. To
De sure, we scofr great deal at the
medical profession, carp at its contra
dictions and remark upon its limita-
lions, but in the long run the good doc
tors get the credit that is their due,
even though its arrears may not come
Ia until after they are dead.

and the buyers took them in with a zeal
and alacrity which showed their appre-

higher and split Of 70 nc higher,
were the ruling quotations from the
other western live stock markets, and
this point more than held its own. It
