SENTIMENT AND SUMMER.

Nothing is more beautiful in the my

swift response of the grasses in some
deIectabIe valley. where they are all

gorgeous color the meadow lilies and
the tall cups Of their kindred at the
edges Of the woods and over the borders
of the brooks. 1t is like a scene Of en-
chantment, and the song sparrows and
orioles, the bobolinks and the gay cat
birds are the choir of ministrants at the

FORGIVENESS

My heart was heavy, for its truth had
been
Abused. its kindness answered with
foul wrong.
So. turning gloomiIy from my fellow
men.
one summer sabbath day, I stroIIed
among
The green mounds OF the village burial
place;
Where, pondering how all human love
and hate
Finds one sod level and how, soon or
late,
WrOnged and wrOnEdoer, each with
meekened face,
And cold hands folded over a still heart
Pass the green threshold OF our com
mon grave
Whittier all footsteps tend. whence men
depart,
Awed for myself, ana plying my race.
Our common sorrow, like a mighty
wave
Swept all my pride away, asd trem-
bling, I forgave. -Unindentifed.

Tired of Being Burglarized.

The complaint of a Philadelphia
business man whose establishment
fronts-at present we might truthfuIly
say confronts-the city hall, that he
is tired of being robbed By burglars,
will doubtless fall upon the ears of the
police authorities as d proper joke,
which only a humorist of the deepest
eve could penetrate. Tired of being
robbed, indeed! What exertion Is
there about being robbed that the
robbed one should grow tired2
The fatigue incident to a carefully
planned and well executed burglary,
as one can see on a moments thought,
does not fall upon the person whose
premises are robbed. II falls upon the
burglar-the person who conceives and
carries out the project, and who must
not only take into account the mate
rial obstacles by which he is likely TO
be confronted, but, as well, such con
tingencies as the accidental presence of
the police. OF other Interruptions.
Whatever else the police OF Phila-
delPhia may think OF these repeated
Durglaries Of the same premises, right
opposite the city hall, their unanimous
opinion doubtless is that the tired
business man in question is not tired
as the result of the burglaries. Per
haps they think him by nature indo-
lent enough to Join the force.
