Oft forgets his fellows then ;
Masters -rn.'crs—lord remember
That your meanest kinds *ro men !
Men of labor, men o* f cling,
Men of thoughts, and men of fftixn*,
Claiming equal rights to sunshine
In a man’s ennobling name.
There are foam-embroidered oceans,
There are little wood-clad rills;
There are feeble inch-high saplings,
There are cedars on the bills.
God, who counts by souls not stations,
Loves a»»d prospers you and roc;
For to BJm all vague distinction*
Are as pebbles in the scs.
Tolling hands alone are builders
Of the nation’s wealth aud fame;
Tilted Uxiusss is pensioned.
Fed anti fattened on the Mine ;
By the sweat of others’foreheads,
Living only to rejoice.
While the poor man’s outraged freedom
Vainly lifts Its feeble voice.

noon of the same day that the letter of
which I have spoken, that I how know
was from my rival attracted my attention.
I took ituprdinbtatitly—I felt that I would
as readily touch a poisonous snake—and
was just about to put-the postmark, ou,
when I saw that the stamp upon it, instead
of being a postal one, was a revenue stamp
and that the letter, instead of speeding off
on the wings of love to: New York, must
b« consigned to the. deed letter office in
Washington. With a thrill of savage de
light I flung it. into the_ box appropriated
t > the reception of such castaways, and
went on with my evening’s work. With
that work I went ou mechanically, but my
thoughts were not agreeably employed,
Thar, then, wes the answer to the missive
she had received. But it should bo long
before he would get it—get it too late per
haps for an explanation; tor misunder
standings between lovers had often arisen
from a slighter cause than the non-arrival
of an expected letter. I pictured him wait
ing and lougiug tor the letter that would
not come, and she, pqor girl, how her ten
der heart would bo tortured by his imagin
ed neglect, when no answer would be
forthcoming, she,! knew, would sutler
iu silence, and I fondly hoped he would
do the same. SO I lockeo the mail
bag, and waited forjthe messenger U| car
ry it to the 8tat.jou.i The express would
pass in an hour and a half. And then a
struggle began in my own heart.
The misstampeu letter seemed to whis

send it on unimpeded, on]Us mission.

A Sensible Trick-Dog.
A hump-shouldered old mau, followed
by a dog which seemed to have fasted for
a year past, euterod a Woodward avonue
butcher-shop the other day, and the man
made some inquiries about the price ot
smoked hams. The butcher saw the dog,
of course, aud who ever saw a butcher
who didn't want to know all about a dogf
“ Is that a good coou dogF asked the
butcher as ho patted the shy canine ou
the head.
“ Oh, no—he’s a trick dog,” auswered
the owner.
“ Is, eh t What tricks can he do F
“ Qh, a dozen or two. He has one very
peculiar trick, though. Wouid yon like to
see him do it F
“ I would that. What is i !”
The man direct* 1 the butcher to put
pound ot nloe beefsteak on a sheet ot
clean brown paper and place Hit. whole on
the doorstep. He then said to bis dog,
which had watched matters pretty keenly:
Now, Oato, I am about to call upon
you to perform a trick. You have never
gone back on me yet, ami I have perfect
confidence in yon cow. Cato, do yon see
that meat," . - ; ^
Cato saw it. He walked over to it,
seized it in his momh, and as he went up
the street it was hard to tell the dug from
dust.
“ Hum! yes!” muttered the botcher;
“ do yon call that a trick F
“1 do,” confidently replied the tnan.
“ Well, it’s a blasted mean one!"
“ Just so—just so,” said the mau. “ You
couldn’t expect such >i looking dug as thai
to be around playing tricks ou a guitar oi
a jewsbarp, could youf I’ll see you latei
about tho hauis.”—Detroit Free Press.
