DEPARTED GLoRY.

-
How sad I used to b. In those old days
away back there
Before ] knew the world was full of
hidden snares and care.
l thought it was a task TO hold the skefn
as mother wound
The crimson yarn while here and there
a stubborn snarl was found:
I thought my lot a dismal one, as sit
ting there at night
! heard the humming spinning wheel and
watched the freight
a out across the floor and back as
fairy dancers might.
All, how l used to long to see the world
I'd read about.
To pack my little carpet-sack and boldly
sally Quit
the chair
When father found that it was time to
say the evening prayer.
And thinking that my lot was ~hard-ah,
how absurd it seems
I went up to my little bed beneath the
w~hite-washed beams,
And. far away from worldly cares, had
proud, ambitious dreams.
Oh there is much that I have learned
about the world since then,
And much I've seen that serves to wake
the wonderment of men;
The world is far more splendid than I
dreamed that it could be
As lying meath the rough-hewn beams
fair visions came to me
But one great glory of the world has
passed away fore'er,
I ne'er again may hold the skein as
mother winds back there,
Or, when the fires low, kneel down while
father offers prayer.

she strove to Please.

The w~aiter-girl of our table was
imbued with a sincere desire to give
satisfaction. She did her best to get
from the kitchen precisely what each
boarder asked for, and she succeeded
very well indeed.
The other evening, at dinner, she
said interrogatively to each man in
turn, Chicken or tomato soup?"
And one made answer, "Tomayto.'
and the second said, "Tomawto soup,
please" and the third added, "I1l
take tomatto."
Whereupon the intelligent maiden
delivered the several orders into the
kitchen in this wise, Zone tomayto
soup, one tomawto soup, and one
tomato soup"
Thus each guest received precisely
what he had asked for and was hap
py until the next order was taken.
But that is another course.-Judge.

CURIOUS ELECTION FREAK.
st. Louis Election Precinct i'm Which
the Vote Returned Was Nearly
Double the Registration.

ST. Louis. Nov. 9.-The recent cleo
ton in this city was productive Of
some queer development, prominent
among which is the original return
from the first precinct of the Twenty
second ward, which, at the last cleo
ton, last ia votes. The close of the
registration this fall showed 295
names of persons entitled to vote,
but the precinct return on the night
of election day showed that James
Butler received 395 votes, against 3
for Reynolds, his opponent in the con-
gressional race in the Twelfth dis
trict. Old politicians and experienced
ballot box manipulators shake their
heads and wonder how it happened.
