Room Enough For All.
Don’t crowd and push on the march of life,
Or tread on each other‘s toes,-
For the world at best, in its great unrest,
Is hard enough as it goes. ’
Oh, why should the strong oppress the weak
Till the latter g ) to the wall?
On this earth Vof ours, with its thorns and
flowers,
There is room enough for all.
If a lagging brother falls behind,
And drops from the toiling hand,
If fear and doubt put his soul to route,
Then‘lend him a helping hand.
Cheer up his heart with words of hope,
Nor season the. speech with gall;
In the great highway, on the busiest day,
There‘s room enough for all.
If a man with the tread of a pioneer
Steps out on your track ahead,
Don't grudge his start with an envious
' heart,
For the mightiest once were led,
But gird your lions for the coming day—
Let nothing your heart appal—
Cateh up if you can with the forward man,
There is room enough for all.
And if, by doing your duty well,
You should get to lead the van, .
Brand 'not your name with a'deed of shame,
But come out an honest man.
Keep a bright lookout on every side,
Till, heading the Master’s call,
Your soul should go from the world below,
Where there’s room enough for all.

It wasabitter cold day. Not a sugges-
_ tion'of warmth in the frozen rose and pearl
of th chillingly clear sunset,——not a sound
in th air, but snow crunching under one’s
feet, icicles clinking in the woods, and old
trees creaking dismally, at every touch of the
blast. Rocky T0wer was doubtless, a
pleasant place, with an extensive prospect in
the summer, but of- a January afternoon,
with the thermometer gradually settling to-
ward zero, one does not care for frozen
fields and lakes that look as if they were
carved in steel,
Mr. Mallow gazed out of his window in his
second story of the funny little octagon
tower—had it been constructed of stone it
might have been appropriate, but in wood
it was ludicrously out of place—with a shed.
der.
“ This is all very incomprehensible,” said
Mr. Mallow. “He told me his cousins were
young and pretty,—and these two wo§u
are both of them on the shady side of thirty,
with sharp noses and muddy complexions.
.He said the cottage was a perfect little gem,
—and this is the bleakcst place I 'ever was
in in my life. However, he will join me in
three days. Three days will soon pass,—
but upon my word,- -1 can’t congratulate my
friend Harth on his taste in female beauty.
Whew! how the wind shakes this rattle.box
of a tower! And the easements are fretted
- as if they were made of ground glass. Hush!
is that the step of one of the ancient beau-
ties outside 1’"
And opening his door, Mr. Mallow put on
his most ingratiating smile. Miss Chipman
who was passing with a shawl wrapped
tightly'around her shoulders and a very blue
nose, stopped, with a nervous start, at the
sound of his voice. ’
-
"Oh, I beg your pardon,” said Mr. ,Mal- .
, up,” said Mr: Mallowrhimsclfcappearing‘on’
low. “I fear I startled you.” ‘:‘
“ Not at all,” said Miss Naomi Chipnian,
looking half scared out of her senses.
"But,” added Mr. Mallow, “I was merely
about to ask if it would be convenient for
me to have a little fire in the firepbkce. It
is so very cold,” with an incipient c atter of
the teeth. -.
Miss Naomi looked ffightened. “ I—I am
afraid it wouldn’t be safe,” said she.
" Not safe 1’ Why pot?”
“It‘s quite against" 'o_ur rules,” said Miss
Naomi, hurrying down stairs, while Mr.
Mallow looked after her in amazement.
“ I never saw such an extraordinary wom-
an in my life,” said he aloud.
While Miss Naomi, bouncing hurriedly
into the room below, shut the door with a
bang and looked apprehensively over her
shoulder.
“ He’s soliloqulzing," said she.
“ He isn’t ?” said Miss Dorcas, the young-
er sister. “ Then he must be mad 1”
“Oh, he’s madl” saidNaomi. Mad as a
March hare. Any one could tell that to look
at him. He wants a fire in his room.”
“ Quite out of the question," 'said Miss
Dorcas.
“ That’s what I told him,” nodded Naomi.
“ Why, we should all have the roof burned
off from our head. I’ve told John to come
in from the stables directly he gets the
horses cleaned; and not to leave the room
while he is in it. And Becky has'hid the
carving-knife, and put all the matches out
of sight—and there’s a. coil of rope in the
lower shelf of the bufiet, in case he should
turn dangerous, all of a sudden, as they do
sometimes, you know.'- And John has his
directions not to take his eye off the poor
creature for a second.” . ,
“ Oh, dear! oh, dearl" said Miss Dorcas,
wringing her little knuckly hands. “ What
did Mr. Hartop mean by sending us a mad-
.man to take care of?" -
“ He mentioned particularly,” said Naomi,
" that his keeper would accompany him.”
“ No doubt he has murdered the poor
man, and hidden him somewhere on the
Way,” whispered Dorcas. '
“ 0r contrived to elude him,” said Naomi,
“ These poor insane wretches are diabolically
cunningl"
“ But, my dear," consoled Dorcas, “ it's
only for a day or two; Mr. Hartop expressly
declared in his letter that the Superinten-
dent of the Retreat would come for him .
' soon.” . ,
“ But in the meantime," said Miss Nao-
mi, despairingly, “ What is to become of
us ?”
“ In the meantime,” said Miss Dorcas,
“ we must do the best we can."
Mr. Mallow came down presently, blue
and chilled. ‘
“A solitary piace’this,'ladies,” said he. as
he warmed his hands at the fire.
“Very," said Miss Dorcas.
" Quite so," said Miss Naomi.
“ I should think you would go crazy, liv-
ing here all alone,” said Mr. Mallow. “ In-
deed, I have often thought that insanity and -
solitude go hand in hand.”
“ Don’t talk to him about insanity,” Nao-
mi whispered to her sister—so Dorcas merely .
simpered and observed.
“ Tea will be ready directly.”
With the simple evening meal, in came
John, the stableuian, ~odorous of his haunts.
His jacket was clean, his hair brushed into a
stiff crest, and he had donned a white apron,
suggestive of— waitership; bathe broke two
plates, tipped over Miss Naomi’s cup of tea,
and upset the cream-jug 'in a. most unpro-
fessional manner, before he had' been five
minutes in the room.
Mr. Mallow took his seat before the leg
cold boiled ham.
“ Allow me to carve,” said be pleasantly.
“ Get me the knife, my man," to John.
“ But John, whose dull, fishy regards were
steadfastly fixed upon him, didrnot stir.
“ Missis said I wasn’t to mind a thing as
you said to me," said this faithful servitor.
“Eh ?” said Mr. Mallow. . “ Why not P"
“ Because you’re as crazy as a hornet,"
said John,vbluntly. -
“ Is the man mad ?” cried Mr. Mallow.

John chuckled. “ I beant mad, sir,” said
he, “ but you be. Now don’t ’ec go to cut-

and tie you hand and foot with the clothes-

Mr. Mallow turned pale. He was a small '
man, and John, the stablcman, was a rustic
giant. '
“Eh ?” feaid he. “ May I venture to in-
quire what all this means?"
“ Don’t get angry, that’s a dear man,"
coaxed Miss Naomi. '
“ It isn’t your fault that you’re mad,” said
Miss Dorcas. '
“ But,” remonstrated Mr. Mallow, ”I am
not madl It's all a mistake." .
“ That’s what they all say,’.' muttered
John. who-had by this time got ;out the ,

stone barn, Miss Naomi-———”
Herc, however, Mr. Mallow, who was
prepared to endure this sort of thing no
longer, caught up his hat from the sideboard
opened the easement, and jumped nimbly
outinto a snow-drift below.
“ Good gracious!” cried Miss Chipman,
“ he has escaped."
“ He’s running likeabare toward the rail-
way station,” said Miss Naomi.
“Will I run after he, miss?” said John,
twitching oiI his ,white apron.
“No, John, no,”said Miss Naomi, author-
itively. “We have done our best. If he
has given us the slip, it is through no fault
of ours. Let him go,-—and let us be thank-
ful that we are not all murdered in our
beds."
And she gave a hysterical shudder.
Mr. Benjamin Mallow in the meantime
was making the best of his way to the near-
est railway station.
“Good heavens l” he exclaimed, as he
jumped on board the train. “ Do they take
me for a—madman ?” .
He reached New York the next morning,
and went straight to the law office of Ibis
friend Mr. Henry Hartop.
“Mr. Hartop's particularly engaged, just
now, sir, with some ladies," { said the clerk.
“ He’ll see you presently."
Mallow sat dowd—but as he watched, he
could hear the voices of ladies inside.
"Mad!" cried one. “As mad as King
Lean—and a deal madder."
Mr. Mallow picked up his cars. What
does this mean ? Was all the world going
crazy together?
-“He hadn’t been in.the room hal‘an
hour before he wanted to dance a hornpipe.”
said another soft, full contralto. “And he
was going to fight his keepsr,;—and insisted
on walking across the room on his hands,
with his feet in the air. Oh, we were all
frightened to death." I
“So, of course,” chirped the first “we
called in Mr. Day,« and shut the poor crea-
ture up in the west wing. And such a
shouting and hallcoiug as he made all night,
—and if this is the style of friend you send
us to be entertained, Mr. Henry Hartop.
perhaps you'd better refrain altogether for
the future I" -
“ It‘s very strange,” raid the voice of Mr.
Hartop. “Look here, ,Itlzzie, there has
been some outlandish mistake! I gave my
friend Mallow, the best fellow in the world,
a letter of introduction to you—and Percy,
the poor insane man, who WI! left in my
charge by his father, I sent to Miss Chip-
man, up at Ulster Lake, in the mountains,
and——" .
“ Then the letters got pretty ,well mixed
the scene. “ Hartop, behold in me the
victim of your carelessness. You gave me
the letter which told Miss Chipman to ex-
pect a raving maniac, and I was treated ac-
cordingly, and some other man got the letter
which introduced uric so politely to your
cousins l"' ‘
Mr. Hartop smote his hands together.
“ Is it possible,” said he, “ that l was
such an idiot as to do so careless a thing as
that?” _ .
The two pretty girls in the sealskin furs
and plumcd hats began to laugh. Mr.
Hartop promptly introduced them to his
friend. _ . ‘
“ You can fancy,” said Mallow, “what my
feelings were when I saw two skinny old
maids with red noses, and believed them to
be the two cousins you had so often spoken
of ! They supposed I was mad ; and I
don’t much wonder! The little wits I had
seemed temporarily to be gone wool-gather-
ing i” __
11; was all Mr. Hartop’s fault. Mr. Mal-
low had gone off in the role of the madman,
while the veritable monomauiac was intro.»
duced as a desirable young bachelor, to the
Miss Wargraves. '
“ And I can tell you what,” said Mallow,
with a shiver, “It’s a peculiar sensation,
and not an agreeable one either, to feel
yourself regarded in the light of ,a mad-
man !" ~

Rev. Dr. L. W. Bacon of Norwich, is ac-
tive in making objections to applicants for
liquor licenses. ~ In the case of McNamara
«k Pratt, which came up Wednesday after-
noon, he accused the firm of being the con-
federates of the worst criminals in the town.
”Do you mean that P” asked Mr. Pratt. “I
do," replied Mr. Bacon. “If you repeat
that I will have you arrested and prove
what you say before the city court,” an-
swered the applicant. The clergyman re-
plied slowly, “I charge you with being the
confederate of the worst criminals in town."
He argued that the members of the firm had
becomebondsmen for William M. Green, as
a liquor dealer, knowing at the time that he
was proprietor of a house of ill fame. On
this ground the speaker considered that the,
firm belonged to the class of persons who
were expressly excluded by the law from
the privilege of selling liquor. County
Commissioner Green said that William M.
Green's application for a liquor license came
to the board signed by the most respectable
men in the immediate neighborhood, and
that the latter was properly recommended
by the selectmen. Such being the case, said
the'commissioner, we are, all of us, in Mr.
Bacon's judgment, endorses of a brothel.

Harvest at hand; the wheels of the
threshing machine spinning at their greatest
momentum driven by sixteen horse power ;
that sharp-toothed devourer swallowing
food as fast as four men could supply its
demands and a cataract of oatspouring from
its spout faster than two men could bag
them. This was the scene which presented
itself to Mr. Betta of Norwalk, on his ar-
rival at his son Edward’s ranch in Colorado.
The next day, under his supervision a
commodious shed was erected d. q. (double
quick), for. the purpose of keeping the Sun’s
rays from scorching the wagons.
Two immense corn cribs, 100 feet long by ,
.9 feet wide and 9 feet high, have been built.
each capable of holding 1,500 barrels or
about 2,700 bushels of corn. These cribs
are filled to their utmost capacity with
bright, sound, yellow corn. Their golden
stores gleaming through the open laths, are
a tempting feast for the live stock and they
linger around, reaching with lapping, up-
turned tongues, yearning for that which is
“ so near and yet so far." Mr. Belts will
have altogether this year, about 8,000
bushels of corn, 2,500 bushels of oats and
25,000 pounds of beans, besides for house
consumption, a winter’ supply of onions,
cabbages, pumpkins, squashcs, etc., etc.
This ranch was cultivated by a Mr. Welton
during the war, and is famous for its large
corn crops. From one year’s harvest he re-
ceived the enormous sum of $25,000 from
the Government for corn which sold at
the rate of ten and fifteen cents per pound.
Mr. Betta intends Enlarging his pasture
by extending his fence out to what is called
the Six Mile Arroya, embracing a tract of
land of 15,000 acres, having a water frontage
of two miles and a half on the creek: What
a pasturage for stock, with its rich tufts of
buffalo and gramma grass which for nutri-
ment surpasses the richest grasses of more
fertile regions. Suppose this pasture were
stocked with one thousand head of two-year
old heifers! The profits in five yéars, al-
lowing five per cent. less on the whole herd
each year and seventy-five per cent. increase,
would be as follows :— .

Letter from Brooklyn.
A general feeling of satisfaction prevails
over the immense majority accorded to Mr.
Cleveland for governor, indicating as it does
an independence and manliness in the Re-
publican party that prove it to be a party of
ideas. “Bosses" who leave out of their cal-
culations the effect of intelligent opinions and
moral sentiments, who suppose the people
will follow unscrupulous leaders like cattle,
are quite sure to “get left" when the ballots
begin to fall. .
_The old cry about the danger of trusting
“the south” fails to scare. The impression
has gained that the south intends to mind its
business and build up its industries and is
not particularly anxious to take a leading
part in politics. Those who have read the
remarkable series of papers publishcdand
still continued in the Atlantic Monthly, en-
titled “Studies in the South,” have been con-
vinced that the bulk of the people accept the
situation and have no bitter grudge against
the North. A more vivid and inatructive
view of life as itvnow is'in the Southern
States cannot be found anywhere than that
given by this clearheaded writer:-
Much interest has been taken in the liter-
.ary circles of the metropolis by the presence
of Mr. Herbert Spencer among us. Since
the days of. Francis Bacon probably no
greater thinker has appeared in the world to
grapple with the problems of philosdphy and
life. His philosophical system is so com-
prehensive that it has seemed impossible that
one man could live long enough to work it
out, but he has'been steadily going on un-
folding part after part and elaborating the
details with wonderful fullness. Few per-
sons in thegUnitcd States were aware of the
nature and scope of his work until the
Popular Science Monthly' gave currency to
his invaluable labors. Some volumes had in-
deed been previously published, but they
were called for only by a very limited public;
the issue of his papers in the Monthly brought
his studies and researches to the attention of
thousands of our most thoughtful readers.
For years these highly interesting articles
have appeared in that Magazine and they still
continue to form a marked feature Of it.
Chapters they are really a "work which pro-
poses a new theory for all things we see and
know in the universe. It is a gratifying fact
that in an age which is regarded by most to
be sordid and common-place, there should be
a man quietly giving year after year to in-
cessant 'labor, working out a system of
philosophy which is at once original and
brilliant, comprehending the whole universe
in its wide embrace and carrying on its cur-
rent the phenomena of all nature and all hu-
man conduct. Mr. Spencer has not lectured,
restricting himself to a tour for observation
and recreation. He has however, at public
dinners given him, made addresses iu‘which
his views of American character and life
have differed from most of our visitors by
being keen, shrewd and fundamental. We
owe certainly a great debt to the Popular
Science Monthly for the agency it has had in
disseminating the researches of so profound
a mind and if it had done no more than this
its influence on American thought would be
werth all the labor and enterprise expended
on it.
The advent of Mrs. Langtry has been quite
a sen§ation equally great in another circle.
Her personal beauty has been made the
strong point in the case, but it is found
that, however decided her eminence in this
respect may be in England, here, where
' autifulwomen are no rarity , she must rely
on other qualities to attract. The critics
have been gentle with her and she is rated a
fair artist in her profession. The indication
however is that the extravagant preposses-
sions formed regarding her charms of feature
and powers as an actress will not be sustain-
ed by the settled judgment of her audiences.
The stage is certainly a power in modern
society, and, with some reservations it has
clearly improved in character and tone with-
in a recent period. rJ'hose who lead in
dramatic representation new command the
respect of the community and are ranked
as ladies and gentlemen of education and
worth. A remarkable group of papers in the
North American Review for December dis-
cussing the means of reaching “Success on
the Stage” are from the pens of McCullough,
Jefferson and Miss Mitchell,.written grace-
fully and sensibly and with a dignity and
force of statement that are pleasant to see.
In the numberlof the same valuable periodical
for November Mr. « Steele Mackaye has an
exhausive article on“Safety in Theatres,”
suggesting arrangements for the prevention
and.suppression of fires that would seem to
'meet all the conditions of that serious and
difficult problem. , ,
Speaking of fires suggests that it has come
to be a question hard to solve, now the ex-
cessively high buildings now erected can be
reached by streams of water in the event of
a conflagration. A man in Baltimore has
contrived a huge machine, like one of the
towers employed in the middle ages to assail
the wall of cities, and from the platform of
this great engine firemen play their enormous
hose with effect, At a test trial of a machine

Brooklyn, N. Y., Nov. 18, 1882;
General B. F. Butler, Governor-elect of
Massachusetts, presented a striking appear-
ance on the stump during the recent cam- l
paign. In full evening dress, a correspond-
ent writes, with a neat button-hole bouquet
of red and white pinks, and with a snowy
necktie and rubleund face, be advanced to
the edge of the platform, bowing to right and
to left with his right hand resting gracefully
upon his capactous abdomen, and an inde-
scribable look of pleasure and self-satisfac.
tionbeaming from his eyes. Two diamonds
flashing from his bosom, and a light gold
chain with pendant, were all the jewelry
visible. His upper lip was adorned with a
thin iron-gray mustache. and he wore small
side-whiskers of the same bus. His custo-
mary attitude was with his left hand in his
gestlculatlng. Whenever he succeeded in'
raising a laugh\ he turned still redder in the
face, and s‘macked his lips so heartily that
his double chin shook like a lump of jelly,
He very rarely hesitated, but when he did
be shut one eye. “cooked up”, the other,
and scratched his bald head just behind the
ear until success crovincd his efforts to re-
member.
Maw—o“—
No boy of ten considers himself a man
unless he has a cigarette in his mouth. To.
all such we commend careful reflection on a
fact that came to light in a police court in
New York city last wreck. ,An Italian girl
was arrested collecting cigar stumps,’ of
which she had about a thousand in a basket;
she explained that she started every morning
about four o’clock and spent the day in this
delightful occupation, and that she disposed
of her collection to persons who transformed
the burnt-out stumps into brand-new ciga-
rotten.
Washington ‘Lettcr.
[From Our Regular Correspondent]
WASHINGTON, D. 0., Nov. 26, 1882.
There is an earnest purpose on the part of
the Republicans to secure‘ at the coming
session of Congress a material reduction of
internal revenue taxes. The Ways and
Means Committee, with Judge Kelley at its
head, undertook to accomplish this end last
session, but the measures blought forward
were talked out of time by"the Democrats,
success lies smothered udder a load of
amendments and Democratic gab in the
Senate. Yet the Democrats roared about
taxation all through the date campaign.
Judge Kelley‘s committee are already taking
the matter in hand again, and nothing but
Democratic obstruction can prevent some-
thing being done to lessen, the weight of
taxation at the approaching, session. But
the policy of obstruction willgundoubtedlybe
adopted by the minority in cider to carry the
subject over to a Democratic Congress, and
as this will be a short sessiofi, it will require
vigorous and determined egorts to prevent
the success of their tactics, gudgo Kelley is
system of internal taxes, Eguttspcakingof
the coming Democratic House,“ is amusing
to notice what a' lively-campaign for the
in advance. A little success crease the
Democrats. - To. them th'e‘old days have
-come back, and they lookéf‘orward to the
time when -the Southern-Egentlemen can
swear and squirt tobacco jdiée in the marble
rooms of the Capitol. I-may be below the
figure, but it seems to mothere are a million
Democrats who have already filed caveats
for every ofiice in the.House. There are a
hundred very good places in the House, and
probably two hundred others not quite so
goodhbut the knowledge of a Democratic
majority has p'ut a legion in the field'for
every office. It will be allively scramble
when the time comes, but hardly a foretaste
of what would be seen if ever, by any possi-
bility, the old fossil party should get control
of the executive branch of the government.
According.o the reports coming in there
is likely to be an unusual number of Con-
tested seats in the Congress lately elected.
In a large number of districts the vote is
very close, and the successful members from
these districts reach the goal of their ambition
by a very narrow margin. In many cases
these are Republicans. , But the Bourbons
having a large majority in the House a happy
thought strikesthe unsuccessful Democratic
candidate. From Virginia alone three con-
tests are threatened, and present indications
are that the list from the whole country will
be something unprecedented: If the Demo-
cratic majority remains on its good behavior
these contests may be settled on their merits,
and in most cases disposed of in short order,
but the chances are that partizauship will get
the better of discretion, and that the Bourbon
will generally be seated. But in one respect
both parties are to blame for the miserable
practice of so many contests. The custom
which prevails in Congress of paying all the
expenses of the unsuccessful, party to a con-
test serves‘to increase the number of such
cases. The contestant knows that be will
not be out of pocket, owing to the liberallty
of this custom, even if he loses his case.
Therefore, having everything. to gain and
nothing to lose, he enters upon a contest,
where, perhaps, if he had to bear the burden
of his own expense if successful, he would not
consider’hisichancés werth tilcvent'uré. It
has not been very long since a defeated con-
testant for a seat in the House was voted a
liberal allowance for attorney’s fees, and the
fact was he appeared as his own attorney and
pocketed the fee.‘, It was said by those who
knew him that his practice at home for five
years had not yielded him as much all told
as that one'fee he obtained for presenting a
weak case to Congress. In the present Con-
gress a contestant who was seated got an
allowance for expenses, including attorney’s
fees, and then went back on the attorney,
who is still unpaid. ,, .
Our public spirited citizen, Mr. W. W.
Corcoran, has perfected his plans for remov-
ing the body of John Howard Payne, the
author of “Home, Sweet Home,” to Oak
Hill Cemetery, in Georgetown, from Tunis,
where he lies in a neglected grave. Mr.
Corcoran is said to be willing to put some
money in a Democratic morning daily to be
started here. He put a good deal in the
Union, which collapsed after the Tilden
campaign. No man has given more liberally
to his party than Mr. Corcoran. It is said
that he gave $100,000 to the cause in 1876,
and he says he wants to live until he sees a
Democratic President inaugurated. The de-
feat of that tedious old humbug, Montgomery
Blair, in Maryland, has given the old gentle-
man a pleasant glow of satisfaction. Mem-
bers of all parties are regretting Mr. Proctor
Knott’s coming retirement from the House
of Representatives. The general public
knows him as the author of the Duluth
speech, but he is one of the, busiest workers
in the Congressional hive and, contrary to
the usual prejudice regarding a humorist, he
presided in the Speaker’s chair on occasions
with much dignity.
Here is a story that has been revived about
Judge Thurman and Mr. Conkling—but it is
so good that it can never be stale. On one
occasion Mr. Conkliug was making a speech
in the Senate, during which he repeatedly
turned to Judge Thurman. As everybody
knows, the great Ohioan is a little peppery
at times, and at last he said testiiy to Mr.
Conkling, "Does? the Senator from New
York expect me 'to respond every time he
turns to me i” “ When I speak of the law,"
responded Mr. Conkling, “I turn to the
Senator from Ohio as a Mnssulman turns
toward Mecca; I turn to him-as I _do to. the
mmbn law of England—the world's moat
copious fountain of human jurisprudencc.’.'
Was there ever anything finer than that—
more gracefully mischievous, more artfully
flattering ? ‘ J cums.
“Going to church tomorrow i” said one
smiling democrat to another. "Of course I
am." “Why, you havn’t been inside of one
for years l" “I know that; but don’t you see
now that_we are on the winning side we’ve
got to do something that looks respectable,
anyhow.”
An Indianapolis colored man was chal-
lenged at the polls on account of his youth, _
but insisted that he was twenty-one years
old. “How do you know i’" inquired the
challenger. “Well, I‘ve had the'seven-year
itch three times,” was the cheerful reply.
He was allowed to vote without scratching.
Exchange.
Miss Thompson of Indianapolis, was
forbidden by her parents to encourage Van
Horn as a suitor as he was a drunkard. She
would not give him up and eloped with
him. He. got drunk on the night of their
marriage at a Columbus hotel and she took
,1, train for home, convinced that the old
folks were right. .
A Republican being asked what he thought
of the election, said: “I can only answer
you by telling you a little story. Once upon
a time a dcacon’s son was relating how the
bees had stung his father, and thehminister
inquired; ‘Stung your pa, did they i’ Well,
What did your pa say?” Quoth the urchin
in reply : ‘Step this wayia moment, please;

Leave It With Him.
“Yes, leave it with Him,
The lilies all do,
And they grow.
They grow in the rain,
And they grow in the dew-4
Yes, they grow.
They grow in the darkness, all hid in the

They grow in the sunshine, revealed by “I.
light; ‘ ‘
Still they grow.'f
“ They ask not your planting,
They need not your ears
As they grow.
Dropped down in the valley,
The field, anywhere—
There they grow.
. They grow in their beauty. arrayed in pure
white,
They grow clothed in glory, by heaven’s
ownlight,
Sweetly grow."
“ The grasses are clothed
And the ravens are fed '
From His store.
But you who are loved,
And guarded and led,
-How much more \ _ ,
Will He clothe you and feed you and give
.you His care i’ ‘ ‘ . .
Then leave it with Him, He has, everywhere
Ample store.” .. ‘
“ Yes, leave it with Him, -
’Tis more dear to His heart
You will know, ‘
Than the lilies that bloom, .. .i.-. 7’

Whatever you need, if ' L ' fit in pnyor,
