Do you think that a major or n colone! has a
right order troops to fire upon a mob or a
gathering without discriminating between the
wrong. and innocent, among whom are women ana
children? There many incidents where women
and children have been killed What a pity! Is
not life taken in that way 4 murder OF the very

THE GROCERS DREAM.

Last evening I was talking
 With d grocer old and gray, Who told me of dream he had,
 IthinS twas Christmas day. While snoozing in his office,
 The vision came to view. For he saw an angel enter,
 Dressed in garments white and new. Said the angel, ''I'm from heaven,
 The Lord just sent me down To bring you up to glory.
 And put on your golden crown. You've been friend to everyone,
 And worked hard night and day. You've supported many thousand,
 And from few received your pay. So we want you up in glory,
 For you have labored hard. And the good Lord is preparing
 Your eternal. just reward '' Then the angel and the grocer
 Started up towards glory's gate, But when passing close to Hades,
 The angel murmured "wait, l have place to show you,
 It's the hottest place in hell, Where the ones who never paid you, In torment always dwell" And, behold, the grocer saw there
 His old customers by the score, And grabbing up chair and fan.
 He wished for nothing more; But was bound to sit and watch them,
 As they'd sizzle. sihge and burn, And his @ es would rest on debtors,
 Whichever way they'd turn.ss Said the angel, "Gome on, grocer
 There's the pearly gates to see. D But grocer only muttered,
 "This is heaven enough for me. ."-G cers' Regulator.
