THE REFUGE.
Denver Republican,

The pleasures you face in the hours
that race
Are as dust in the turn of year;
The sights that you see scant comfort
shall be
Can they hold back a sob or a tear?
One by one your friends sail to that
port beyond hail,
And wave no farewell from the
murk;
But there always remains, to put hope
in your vains,
The honor and glory of work
The woes of new day turn the dawn to
dull gray,
But still is there promised relief
When at last you have turned to the
toll you have learned
The sting shall be taken from grief
Round the desk and the bench, and the
plough and the wrench
Despair's deepest shadows ne'al
lurk;
Let de9th and disaster but speed youl
hands faster
Gods balm is the glory of work

CREED OF THE BELLS.
George w. Bun gay.)

How sweet the chimes of Sabbath
lc.is-
Each one its creed in music tells,
In tones that float upon the air,
AS soft as song and pure as prayer;
And l will put in simple rhyme
The language of the golden chime:
My happy heart with rapture swells
Responsive to the bells-sweet bells.
''In deeds of love excel-excel,"
Chimed out from ivied towers a bell
This is the Church not built of sands
Emb:em Of enc not tn Il with han Is
Its forms and sacred rights revere;
Come worship here-come worship
here;
It's rituals and faith excel-eXcel,"
Chimed out tn EpiscOpalian bell.
20, heed the ancient landmarks we'll,
In solemn tones exclaimed BELL
mo progress made by mortal man
Can change the just, eternal plan:
With God there can be nothing new;
Ignore the false, embrace the true
While all is wells WELLS WE'LL"
Peals out the good old Dutch Church
bell.
20 swell, we purifying waters, swell,
In mellow tones rang out a bell;
Though faith alone in Christ can
save,
Man must be plunged beneath the
wave,
To show the world unfaltering faith
In what the sacred Scripture saith
o swell, We rising waters, swell
Pell'd out the clear-toned Baptist bell.
Not faith alone, but works as well,
Must test the soul" said a soft bell ::
Come Lere, and cast aside your load,
And work your way along the road,
With faith in God, and faith in man,
And hope in Christ, where hope be-
gan:
Do well-do well-do well-do well, "
Peal'd forth the Unitarian bell.
Farewell! farewell! base world, fare
WE'LL"
In gloomy tones exclaimed a bell;
Life is a boon to mortals given,
To fit the soul for bliss in Heaven;
Do not invoke the avenging rod;
CO4llC l1CI e anu iGtI II IlAS way W NTOu
Say to the world farewell-farwell! -
Peal'd out the Presbyterian bell
In after life there is no He'll"
In raptures rang a cheerful bell;
Look up to Heaven this holy day
Where angels wait to lead the way
There are no fires, no fiends, to blight
The future life; be just, do right:
No He'll! no He'll no He'll; no He'll"
Rang out tie Universalist bell.
To all the truth we tell-we tell
Shouted in ecstasies a bell;
Come all We weary wanderers, see!
Our Lord has made salvation free;
Repent! believe! have faith! and then
Be saved, and praise the Lord. Amen.
SalvatiOn's free we tell-we tell"
Shouted the Methodist bell

FINDS BREWER
HELD LICENSE

Judge Evans has forced the question
of the brewery control of retail licens-
ed places in Columbia county to the
front. The matter was brought to the
attention of the court at Bloomsbury
this week when the case of the trans
fer of a restaurant license from ]. F.
Shoemaker, of Berwick, to Wallace w.
Shobert, also of Berwick, was up.
When Judge Evans causaly inquired
whether there was any agreement be-
tween Shoemaker and Shobert, and
whether the petitioner cared to di-
vulge the amount of the purchase
price, the latter pulled from his pocket
an agreement between the Mutual
Realty Company, the holding concern
for the Columbia Brewing Company,
and Shobert. Shoemaker did not figure
in the agreement at all.
Judge Evans, when he read the
agreement, declared that there must be
an explanation made by NJ. Mellet, the
brewery president, and his concern,
and that this statement must be made
in open court. 1.-THE Columbia Brew
ing Company can't get license from
this court" declared Judge Evans,
land this place is liable to lose its
license.
According to the agreement, Shobert
was to pay the realty company s., 556 :
80 for the business without the real
estate.
This is not the first time that the
question of brewery control of county
licenses has been aired in court. Fred
T. Ikeler made the charge several years
ago in license court that large num-
ber of licenses in the county were in
reality held by breweries, and the un-
masking of the true situation is being
awaited with interest throughout the
entire county.

DIED AS RESULT
Of INJURIES

+. II. McCaffrey, who sustained a
fall at the Reading Iron works. this
city, on March eth last, died as the
result of his injury at his home, Cher.
ry street, at 10 O'Clock Tuesday
night. For three months the deceased
lay helpless with broken back, his
suffering meanwhile being most in.
tense.
Mr.. McCaffrey was employed as
waterman at the big mill. The acci-
dent occurred On the evening of Eas-
ter Sunday while he was in the per-
formance of his duty. He was in the
act of passing from the top of one
walled-in boiler to another, sixteen
feet above the ground, when the inch
board that supported his weight tilted
and caused him to fall headfirst to
the ground. Mr.. McCaffrey was rem
dered insensible by the fall and did
not regain consciousness until after
he had been carried outside the mill
In explaining later how the accident
occurred he recalled that just as he
stepped upon the board, which tilted,
he heard bick fall, which presum.
ably had worked loose under one end
of the board.
The injured man was taken to his
home on Cherry street, whence later
he was removed to the State hospital
at Scranton, where it was ascertained
beyond a doubt that his back was
broken and that his case was incur.
able. After being week or ten days
at the hospital the deceased was
brought back to his home in Danville
where his condition gradually became
worse until death ensued.
P. H. McCaffrey was aged 81 years,
months and 10 days. He was born
in'Parish Killishander, County Gavin,
Ireland. He came to America whe1
nine years of age. He was a man OF
excellent habits; he was industriou
and reliable, kind and devoted hus
band and father.
The deceased is survived by his
widow, two sons, Frank j., of Scran
ton, and Hugh A, of Danville; alsC
by his father aud step mother, Mr.
and Mrs. Hugh McCaffrey, of Dan
vile, and one brother, Hugh McCaff
rey of Exchange.
The funeral will take place at
O'Clock Saturday morning from ST.
Joseph's Catholic church, of whicI
the deceased was lifelong member
Interment will be made in St Joseph

The Eestiua Cndfish

A correspondent of the New York
Post says that the goldfish frequents
"the tablelands of the sea-" The cod.
fish no doubt does this to secure us-
nearly as possible dry, bracing at.
mosphere. This pure air OF the sub
marine tableiands gives to the codfsE
that breadth of chest and depth OF
lungs that we have so often noticed
The glad. free smile of the Goldfish is
largely attributed to the exhilaration
of this oceanic altitoodeum. The cor
respondent further says that the cod
fish subsistS largely on the sea cherry"
Those who have not had the pleasure
of seeing the Goldfish climb the cherry
tree in search of food or clubbing the
fruit from the heavily laden branches
with chunks of coral have missed a
very fne siEnt. The Goldfish when at
home rambling through the submarine
forests does not wear his vest unbut-
toned as he does while loafng around
