The Better Land.

Inc b6vter 12o0s
am going away to better land,
Where sorrow and pain are all un
For the Angel of Death has taken IN,
hand
And claimed me for his own.
shall sail away OH the billowy sea,
Yes, far away DER the waters wide,
My bark shall glide like a sea bird fret
To haven of rest on the other side
Farewell to the dear ones 1 leave be
hind,
Farewell to the friends l shall see M
Till the Angel shall come DER the sill
very tide
And bring them all to the better shore
I shall stand Mt the stern as it bears
me away,
And wave farewell to those on land,
While they gaze out over the sunny sea
At one they shall never more meet on
the strand.
And O! when near that lovely shore,
When the golden towers shall appear
to view,
And the Angel points with his shining
To the mighty turrets of golden hue.
My spirit shall rise o'er the swelling
tide
And burst the bonds that held it fast,
For l shall have gained the farther
side
And Joined the immortal band at last
o! silvery chimes are singing clear
Far over the waste Of waters wide,
And Seraph voices have reached my
Far over the foamy tide
o! Angel is that the better land
That golden splendor my eyes can see
Is that music sweet from the Angel
band
That wait on the shore for me?
Yes, child, it is there, it's mansions of
gold,
That peerless home of the good, and
blest,
o! never more will you care to roam
Once you enter tho land of eternal rest.
o! Angel, shall never see the friends
l love and left on earth?
Shall / never more return to them
And the land that gave me birth?
All! child of earth, some day you will
wait
BY the golden gates of the city here,
And watch the boats come into port
With the friends you love so dear.
You shall see them coming one by one,
Some tired and weary, and others gay,
From those who long have tOiled on
earth
To the little child at play.
But o! you will not lonely be,
For here the years but as moments
seem.
When you will all be united again
In happy endless dream.
Then. fare thee well, for the boat is
near,
Farewell to the friends shall see no
more,
Oh! can no longer linger here,
For my boat has reached the shore,
One touch of the oar as step inside,
One parting glance and wave of the
hand,
And am far DER the silvery tide
On my journey fair to the better land.

THE EXCITEMENT OF SHOPPING
Causes a Peckville Woman to Entire
ly Forget Her Son. Who Was
Carried to Carbondale,

| The writer's on the comic Wecklies
| have had abundant fun at the expense
| Of the women who do all sorts Of
| ridiculous things in the excitement of
| shopping. but a happening of this
| character that took place on Della
ware and Hudson train Saturday even
! ing gave the force of truth to these
| thrusts at bargain hunting shoppers.
ON the train that left Scranton
| shortly before s o'clock on Friday
| evening. in charge of Conductor liar-
vey, there was a woman among the
passengers who had the appearance of
| a. delivery clerk for a big department
| store. She was weighted down under
| the packages she carried. the conquests
of the day among the bargain counters
Of the Scranton stores; and when she
sat down In the car, there were bundles
to right, bundles to left of her and
bundles all around her. There was
also u siX-year-od boy. her own. who
went with his mother to see the Won
ders of the big Buffalo Bill show. but
the youngster was fairly lost among
the bargains that his mother prided
herself on being able to take home to
display before the family as evidence
of her ability as "A shopper.
Peckville was the destination of the
Woman. her bundles and the little fell
low who was buried among them. con-
tentedly munching on candy. and ap-
parently satisfied with the conditions
that made him appear even smaller
than he really was. The brakeman's
cry of Peckvile told the woman of
many packages that her journey was
at an end. and she haStened to load
herself with her priced bundles. She
hustled off the train, engrosSed with
the thought that she had heap of
things to look after but alas. the poor
woman had too many charges on her
hand. aud the little boy was left be-
hind in the shuttle to ponder over the
thrilling stunts" of "Rain-in- the
Face the Man with the Ready
Gun" "Rattlesnake Pete" wild Eyed
Bill and other celebrities of Buffalo
Bills contingent of red skinned and
Cwpuncher men. The youngster was
seemingly "clean forgotten" by his
greatly y-occupied mother. but the mem
ory of the days dongs was too pleas
ant a dream to be disturbed by the
separation and the little fellow had no
complaint to make when he discovered
that his mother failed To include him
in her inventory of her belongings.
The little fellow was in good hands,
for he was taken care of by Conductor
Harvey, who. when Carbondale was
reached. provided The boy with a sup
per that helped him to forget his
troubles.
When the youngstcr satisfied his ap.
petite. Conductor Harvey returned
with him to the Seventh avenue sta
tion and wired the Pcckvile station
a aSent that the live bundle" that the
Peckville woman overlooked was ac-
counted for and that it would be re-
turned on the next train
The boy was placed on the 1901 train,
with instructions to put him off at
Peckville, where he was reclaimed with
joy by his absent minded parent.
