TheE Two Glasses.

Th= re sat t~o glasses filed to the
b:im,
On rich mans table, rim to rim,
AID was rudCy and red as bIoud,
Ard one a. clear as the crystal flood.
Saio the glass cf wine to the .pal-r
brother:
"Let Us tell the tales of the past to
each other;
1 can tell of banquet and:..levtl and

And the prcudest and grandcst souls

I have blasted many an nonored name;
I have taken virtue and given shame;
I have tempted the youth. with a sip
ataste,
That has made his fortune barren
waste
Far greater than king am 1,
Or than any army beneath the sky.
I have made the arm :of the driver
fall,
And set the train from the iron rail;
1 have made good ships 90 down

For they said, 'Rehold,.. howl great

For your mighty and power are. over

"Can you boast of deeds as great as
mine ?''
Said the water glass. 81 cannot boast
Of king dethroned or murdered

But I can tell of hearts once sad
By my crystal drops made light and
glad
Of thirsts I've quenched. of brows I've
laved;
Of hands I cooled and souls 1 have
saved;
I have leaped Through the valley,

Flow ed in the river and played in tie

Slept in the snnshipeKand dropped
from thesssky

have eased theshotiforehead of fever
and pain,
have made stheE parched meadows
grow fertile with grain,
I can tell of the powerful wheele Of

That ground out the flour and turned
at my.will;
I can tell of manhood, debased by you,
That lifted up aud crowned anew;
I cheer, I help, stehgthen and aid,
I help to rescuesthe.fallen maid,
I set the chained wine captive free,
And all are better.for knowing me-
These are the tales they told each

The postoflce inspectors working
on the robbery of the postofices at
Yorklyn and Linwood. near this city,
have not yet been able 20 unearth a
clue that would lead to the capture OF
the 'yeggs-"
Il is thought they left this section
and may be the same gang that is
now operating in the vicinity Of Read
ing, Pa, where they blew open a safe
on Monday night I'm the Philadelphia
and Reading station, at Monacacy.
The thieves did not obtain any loot
and they were unconscious of the fact
that only a thin partition deyided
them from a room In which was
stored a half ton OF dynamite. The
door of the safe was lown on and had
the concussion exploded the dynamite
I'm the adjoining room a good part of
Monacacy would have been blown Off
the map
10 has also been learned that the
safe at the Yorklyn postoffice had
been left open. and all the thieves had
to do was TO remove the $1,000 In
stamps II contained. Because due
precautions was not taken, It may be
that the postmaster there will have to
