Twain and Girl Who Didn't Laugh.
Mark Twain once expressed the fol-
lowing sentiments to young woman
who had not smiled at thing he had
said during an impromptu reception
In his honor at Bryn Mawr college to
which his daughter had invited him.
All the young ladies but one were in
a state Of great glee during the humor-
lists address-all but one had laughed
heartily at every witty remark. Just
as Twain finished, he turned to the
young woman who had not laughed,
and said, in an undertone: "You are
the only sensible one here. l have not
said a single amusing thing. If It
were not for the conspicuousness of It
I would like to press your hand."-

WITH the POETS
My Native Land.

My Native Land.
By John Boyle O'Reilly.
1t CHANGED to me upon time to sail
Across the Southern Ocean to and
fro;
And, landing at fair isles, by stream
and vale
OF sensuous blessing did we ofttimes
And months of dreamy joys, like Joys
in sleep
Or like a clear calm stream Ger
messy stone,
Unnoted passed our hearts with VOICE
less sweep,
And left US yearning still Tor lands
unknown.
TO find
In thousand-isled Cathay another
ISLE
For one short noon its treasures filled
the mind.
And then again we yearned, and
ceased to smile.
And so it was, from isle to isle we
passed,
Like wanton bees or boys on flowers
or lips;
And when tnat all was tasted, then at
last
We thirsted still for draughts in
stead of sips.
learned from this there is no South
ern land
Can fill with love the hearts of
Northern men.
Sick minds need change; but, when in
health they stand
Meath foreign skies, their love flies
home again.
And thus with me it was: the yearning
turned
From laden airs of cinnamon away,
And stretched far westward, while the
full heart burned
With love for Ireland, looking on
Cathay!
My first dear love, all dearer for thy
grief!
Ny land, that has no peer in all the
sea
For verdure, vale, or river, flower or
Leaf
If first to no man else, thou'rt first
to me.
New love may come with duties, but
the first
Is deepest yet,-the mothers breath
and smiles;
Like that kind face and breast where
was nursed
Is my poor land, the Niobe Of isles

The Things You Didn't Say.
You are mighty seldom sorry
For the thing you didn't say;
But when once you get to talking" "
It don't often end that way.
Just a little careful thinking,
And the word would not be said;
Just little prayerful pausing,
And the thought would fall down
dead.
Hearts have dreadful tender feelings,
And, I tell you, it don't pay,
Just to talk away at random,
Never thinking what you say.
Better hold your tongue little
Than to let the harsh words fall;
"If there amt no good to talk Of"
Better not to talk at all.
If you know brothers failings,
If he stumbles on the way,
Don't proclaim 1t to your neighbors-
Do your talking when you pray.
Some day you may need cover,
For sin that's cropping out;
Then you'll want a faithful brother
Just to trust in, with no doubt.
Yes, you're mighty seldom sorry,
For the thing you didn't say;
For, when once you get to talking" +"
It don't often end that way.
Loving words are like sweet ointment;
Bitter words like piercing thorn;
If had to talk like some folk,
Think I'd better not been born.

All birthday gifts that most delight
A little heart at just three years
Are each acclaimed with rapture till
A greater treasure yet appears.

Whose open doors show cattle mild,
A manger, and, the gifts of kings,
A gentle Mother and her Child.

For He is safe upon her knee.
"A manger, too, and dear brown

Yes, it is He, the Baby sweet!
Oh, mother, see His little hands,
And may I kiss His little feet?"
The crowning gift is now displayed.
Two dimpled hands in quick accord
Stretch forth to take Cross that
bears
The figure of the dying Lord.
A troubled glance from creche to

Is this the Baby grown Man?
A pause-the big tears gather fast
AS awestruck eyes the wonders scan.
Il knew He wore a crown Of thorns
That pricked the little robins breast.
I knew He died upon the cross,

Till, pointing to the cruel nails
That mar the form so still and sweet,
A cry breaks-"Mother, see His

Oh, mother, mother, see His feet!"

| The death is announced, on April IL,
of Mr.. Francis P. Long, at his resi-
\ dence, Sydenham Villas, Bray. The
deceased carried on an extensive busi-
ness in Baggot street, Dublin, for
many years, but retired some time ago.
He was father-in-law of the chairman
of Bray urban council, and the news of
his death cast gloom over the town,
where the family are deservedly es-
teemed.
I On April IL Mr.. VIM. Deverell, clerk
of the Crown and Peace for the coun-
I ty of Wicklow, met with serious acci-
! dent while cycling from Florence road
into the Main street Of Bray, bolting
horse having collided with his ma
chine throwing him heavily to the
ground. He was at once removed into
Mr.. Byrne's establishment, Main
street, where after time he recovered
sufficiently to permit of removal to his
residence, where 1t was subsequently
iascertained that he was out Of danger.

f. p. Bacon Of Milwaukee. who
represents many commercial bodies
In favor Of legislation giving the in
terstate commerce commission pow
er to fix rates appeared before the
senate interstate commerce commit
tee on Monday. Mr.. Bacon said that
persons suffering from excessive
rates were, under the Elkins act, pro-
hibited from securing redress. 1t was
impossible for the commission To fix
rates in the whole country, he de-
clared, but the commission should be
empowered to order unjust rates
changed. In the last five years, he
said, there has been changes in class
ification resulting in an advance OF Il
per cent in rates. Mr.. Bacon said that
fiexibility could not be secured by
compelling the commission TO show
cause for the changes it made III the
rates. He also contended that
geographical advantages and advan-
tages which IA community has made
for itself should be recognized in
making rates.

The Old Order Changefh.

A chance for an essay il furnished
by the passing Of the hitching post.
Once, in every American city there
was II hitching post IN front Of every
store and every home. In time the
hitchiDg post was supplanted by
ring set in the curb, which was not
50 conspicuous, and cost less, and
servedIhe purpose just as well. Now
a-days most buggies and delivery
wagons and other horse drawn We
hicles are provided with Il weight
while the automobile, which is the
fashionable thing on wheels, re-
quires 40 hitching post. The bitch
ing post is now rarely seen.
Another essay might be written
on the disappearance Of the scraper
which was once established by the
side Of every front door. In the old
days sidewalks were sometimes
lacking, aud crossings were nearly
always muddy, and no pedestrian,
except on tile driest days, would
think Of entering IA dwelling without
scraping his boots before wiping
them on the mat The mat survives,
but in large cities the scrap.r has
very generally vanished. Good side
walks, and pavements of asphalt,
brick or macAdam, together with
systematic street cleaning, have
made it no longer essential.
Another equipment Of city houses
that was formerly well-nigA univer-
sal and is now becoming rare Is the
lightning rod The lightning rod
represented II larger investment than
But it used 10 be supposed that the
Investment was as essential and ju-
dicious rs the outlay In the form OF
premiums for fire insurance. There
is now general belief that where
many buildings are clustered togeth-
or they protect one another. and that
lightning rods are an unnecessary
expense. There is at least one block
in Milwaukee where the only build
ing which has been struck by light
ming in the past forty years is n
building that carries II lightning rod.
1t carried the lightning rod when it
was struck, and the people who live
In its vicinity have less faith in
lightning rods than they used to
have-which, under the circumslan-
ces, is no wonder.

Why Suffer from Rheumatism ?

Why suffer from rheumatism when
one application Of Chamberlain's
Pain Balm will relieve the pain !?
The quick relief which this liniment
affords makes rest and sleep possible
and that alone is worth many times
its cost. Many who have used it
hoping only for short relief from
suffering have been happily surpris-
ed to find that after awhile the relief
became permanent. Mrs. V. II. Leg

No Better Half.

From The New York Drug News:
Former Governor Stone of Penn
sylvania, himself y typical product
of machine politics and Quayism,
advocates division of the state to re-
liove Pittsburg and the country dis
tricts from the political tyranny and
corruption of Philadelphia, and n
New York newspaper, commenting
on the scheme, says ait is easy to un-
derstand why Pittsburg and the yr-
tuous parts az Pennsylvania should
desire to free themselves from the
stigma of being in the same state
with Philadelphia
And what, pray, are the virtuous
parts Of Pennsylvania The Pitts
burg pot calls the Philadelphia ket-
tie black, and tar would make Il
white mark on either. The preacher,
who was caught with the goods,
when - sold his vote in the legisla-
ture TO Stones crowd for cash, was
the representative of "virtuousn
country district. The country legis-
lature OF the Keystone state is even
more sordid CRATER and shameless
boodler than a New York "hayseed."
Philadelphia is putrid with politi
cal black plague, but the city is no
deeper in civic depravity than the
rest Of the state. 1t was the governor
OF Pennsylvania who, at midnight
and in sinister secrecy, signed away
the rights of the people of Philadel-
phia in street railway franchises and
chartered band of pirates to loot
the city. He was accused openly of
having taken a big bride for signing
the bills, and he oenied the charge in
an official proclamation.
To divide Pennsylvania would be
to create another rotten state and TO
send two more corporation attorneys
to the United States senate. That,
doubtless, is why former Gov. Stone
advocates division. He wants to be
one of the senators on the Pennsyl-
vania railroads payroll.
