A WISH GRATIFIED.

A WISH GRAT1FIED. q want to hear the silver dollars rattle
 when I die,'' Said a man who's heart was bent on
 seeking gold. NO matter what amount 1t is, I'll never
 pass 1t by
 Until my days upon the earth are told.' With this determination writ in furrows
 on his brow He threw himself into the game of life, And ev CT keeping in his heart the pur-
 pose of his VOW. He soon became a leader in the strife. At last he had fortune made, the gold
 he sought was his, But only withered blooms lay at his
 feet He'd trampled on his better self and
 friendship, too, that Is A leaven which will make the bitter
 sweet Bowed down by years of weary toll, he
 walked his way alone, No loving presence hovered by his side For lack of all that betters men can such
 life atone?- He heard the dollars rattle when he

Sian of Growth,

"As one of the many evidences of Bir- mingham's growth Is the fact that when the railroads building the new union sta tion withdraw from the old station the Louisville and Nashville company will have as many trains rolling in and out of the latter as all the roads combined handled there when the station was opened twenty years ago." said an old Louisville and Nashville official ''rhe passenger business is greatly congested at the old station. It outgrew the build ing two or three years ago; yet when it was erected it was commonly said that it would be adequate for Birmingham for fully half century"

By Bryan Waller Proctor. We are born; we laugh; we weep;
 We love; we droop; we die, An, wherefore do we laugh or weepf Why do we live or die? W ho knows that secret deep?
 Alas, not l. Why doth the violet spring
 Unseen by human eye? Why do the radiant seasons bring Sweet thoughts that quickly fly? Why do our fond hearts cling
 To things that die? We toll. through pain and wrong;
 We fight-and fly. We love; we lose, and then ere long
 Stone dead we lie. O life. is all thy song
 'Endure-and die?"

A DOUBTFUL PROSPECT.

A DOUBTFUL PROSPECT. What's that you say? There'l be no
 spring?
 Excuse our asking, please No flowers blooming anywhere, To gorge the honey bees7 No fishing in lazy stream, No loafng in the shade? No picnic parties here and there, No ice cold lemonade? Alas, you can not mean the words, The fateful words you sayl Should we be robbed of spring this year There'd be the deuce to pay. What would become of openwork And also peek-a-boos? Gadzooks, there are some things in life We can't afford to lose! A woman seeking divorce says that on her wedding day her husband hit her on the head with a hammer, threatened to shoot her. threw a poker at her and then deserted her, from which we gather that he was greatly dspleased at something.

further than to insist that justice be
melted out.
