the spectacle both instructive and di-

ship he saw that his companion was
holding himself stif1y aloof; also. he
remarked that none of the boisterous
partisans flung a word of recognition
in Kent's direction
Don't you know any Of them?" he
asked.
Kent's reply was lost in the deep
chested bull-bellow of a cattleman
from Rio Blanco.

Grewsome Present.

There is a strange custom prevaien
among the old fishermen and hand
loom weavers of Girvan, Scotland.
The industries of the town are fast
decaying, only very few weavers be-
ing kept busy now, so the younger
generation have to migrate in search
of fresh fields. When the grown-up
sons and daughters have been sue
cessful in their new spheres, often at
the other side of the world, their
thoughts are busy with the "auid
folks A very common present to
the latter is that of Certificate" Civ

Mrs. c. A. Barwise, president of the
Boys Welcome Hall association of
Brooklyn, is an enthusiastic advocate
of temperance. The other day, relates
the New York Tribune, apropos Of
hypocrisy in the temperance move
ment, she said:
81 hope there are not many of us
to whom the spirit of the temperance
pledge means so little as it did to a
certain Scottish woman.
"This woman had made a VOW not
to drink liquor and day or two after
the VOW she supped at friends house.
'In those days temperance was not
common in Scotland, and at the sup
per wine was passed about like tea.
''The new temperance convert looked
at the wine longingly. Her hostess
said:
I'm sorry We Gamma drink a glass

plate a piece of cake. She said

| ward the wine bottle:

1t was In this same Year Two. the
fame of the latest of western Meccas
for young men having penetrated to the
provincial backgrounds of New Hamp-
shire, that David Kent came.
BY virtue of his diploma, and three
years of country practice in the New
Hampshire country town where his ia

and Chitty, he had his window on the
fourth floor of the Farquhar building
lettered Attorney and Counselor at
Law" but up to the day in the latter
part of the fateful Year Three, when
the overdue crash came, he was best
known as a reckless plunger in real
estate-this, mind you, at moment
when every third man counted his
gains in front feet" and was shouting
himself hoarse at the daily Grassland
lot sales.
When the bottom fell out in the au-
tumn of the Year Three, Kent fell with
it, though not altogether as far or as
hard as many another. One of his pro-
fessional hold-fasts-it was the one
that afterward became the bread
tackle in the famine time-waS his
position as local attorney for the rail-
way company. By reason of this he
was among the first to have a hint OF
the impending cataclysm. The West

the banks of Dry creek, had f1oateG

presently build on to the capital, leav-
ing CASTOR to way-statiOn quietude
Therefore and wherefore
Kent was not lacking in native
shrewdness or energy. He foresaw
not the pitable bubble-burst which en-

evitable end of the speculative era

THE PAST AND PRESENT.

20 TO, 20 to. now We that say,
Inc past was better than to-day;
ne SKY II wears as soft blue
AS formerly it used to do.
And Sol comes forth with strength Of
prime
AS splendid as in ancient time;
And sunbeams hide among the dew
rair Jewels, as they used to do.
The tyrant Winter has its sway.
But SO it had in former day
And Spring comes forth all glad and new
AS lovely as she used to do.
And Summer doth her fruits bestow,
And gives her flowers to high and low,
And bids the birds to sing as gay
AS ever in a former day.
The silver morn with misty vail
Reflects at night the same sweet tale
The tale for ages she has told.
AS calm and placid as of old.
Beneath her soft, her silver light
The lovers vow and give their plight
And Cupid has not lost the art
To throw successfully his dart
Is it of men that you would say,
The past was better than to-day?
If you will look for clearer light,
This truth will CLEAN before your sight
That Goodness has not lost her power,
That Kindness has as sweet a flower,
And Piety is just as broad,
AS when the earth our fathers trod.
Go to, go to, no longer say
The past was better than to-day;
Put by this thought, oh. grumbling clan,
And live for God and fellowman.
If each will faithfully do his part,
With willing hand ard jealous heart,
No cause will any find to say
The past was better than to-day.
