THE BLESSING OF A FRIEND.

Commend me to the friend that comes
When l am sad and lone,
And makes the anguish of my heart
The suffering Of his own;
Who coldly shuns the glittering throng
AT pleasures gay levee,
And comes to gild a somber hour
And give his heart to me.
He hears me count my SORROWS Ger,
And when the task is done
He freely gives me all / ask
A sigh for every one.
He cannot wear a smiling face
When mine is touched with gloom;
hut like the violet, seeks to cheer
The midnight with perfume.
commend me to that generous heart
Which, like the pine on high,
Uplifts the same unvarying brow
To every change of sky;
Whose friendship does not fade away
When wintry tempests blow,
But like the winters icy crown
Looks greener through the snow.
He flies not with the fitting stork.
That seeks a southern sky,
But fingers where the wounded bird
Hath laid him down to die.
Oh, such friend! He is in truth,
Whate'er his lot may be,
A rainbow on the storm of life,
An anchor ON its sea.

THE AGE DEAD LINE.

Two or three years ago bitter com
plants were heard throughout this
country from men who were over As
years of age. They said 1t was i'm
! possible for them to get Jobs when
out of work. The employers said
they would have none but young men.
The loudest complaints were heard
form bookkeepers and clerks. Today
more restricted employment line is
being drawn, and workingmen are the
sufferers.
The Carnegie Steel company gave
notice recently on reopening some of
its plants that in certain departments
no men over 35 would be employed
The Pennsylvania road has gone far
Their than that by discharging a mum
Der of road and shop men and station
employees because they were hired
after they had reached that age. La
Dor leaders see in this action blow
at the unions. They are apprehen-
sive lest other great employers of la
Dor will proclaim the sane policy.
Then what will become of the middle
aged ren who usually have families
dependent on them? They are the con-
sentative men whom an employer
should wish to keep.
II large employer we're to an
nounce when he began business that
he would hire none but young men,
because he wished to train them up to
do his work as he wanted It done,
and desired them to remain In his
employ. II they please to do so. until
they were quite worn out, there would
be no ground for fauk-finding. That
IS the policy OF banks and merchantile
houses. They select young people
who grow up in the establishment.
The Carnegie Steel company and
the Pennsylvania road do not say tina;
that is their policy. For all that is
known to the contrary it may be that
they believe more work can be got out
of the average man of 25 or 35 than
can be got for the same wages out of
the average man of 40 or As. Gener-
ally speaking. that is not the case.
The older men, if they have taken any
care Of themselves. are not deficient
in physical vigor. and have had more
experience than their juniors. Elk
perience counts for great deal in all
| trades.
The prescription of workers for no
other reason than that they are over

who have crossed that dead line"

ously aside like squeezed lemons,
