POETIC Alj.
A QUIET LITE.
Slowly, steadily, under the moon,
Swings the tide in its old-time way ;
Never too late, and never too soon,
And the evening and morning make the day
Slowly, steadily, over the sands,
And over the rocks to fall and flow,
And this wave has touched a dead man’s hands,
And that one has seen a face we know.
They have borne the good ship on her way,
Or buried her deep from love and light;
And yet, as they sink at our feet to-day,
‘Ah ! who shall interpret their message aright?
For their separate voices of grief and cheer
Are blending at last in one solemn tone;
And only this song of the waves I hear,
“ Forever and ever Ilis will be done.”
Slowly, steadily, to and fro,
Swings our life in its weary way;
Now at its ebb, and now at its flow—
And the evening and morning make the day.
SorrotV end happiness, peace and strife,
Fear fl,nd rejoicing its moments know—
How, from the discords of such a life,
Can the clear music of heaven flo ■ ?
Yet to the eaV of God it swells,
And to the blessed round the throne,
Sweeter than the chimes of Sabbath bells—
“ Forever and ever His will is doue.”
LAUGHOGRAMS.
Why is a lovely young lady like a
hinge ? Because she is something to a
dore.
It is wonderful how the blind beggars
in a city can tell the difference between
ten cents and a quarter.
How would you express, in two let
ters, that you were twice the size of your
companion ? I W—l double you.
The widow of a dead Chicago man has
put a five-ton monument over him to keep
him down.
A man who applied to one of our citi
zens for help for his destitute children,
being asked what he needed, said he was
not particular. “If he couldn’t get bread
he would take tobacco.”
An enterprising dog in Utica secured
samples from the clothing of eight light
ning rod peddlers within half an hour af
ter a recent thunder storm.
New Jersey people don’t say “liar”
right out, but remark : “Sir, you remind
me of my lamented brother, who could
pervert truth with the greatest ease.”
Why are you forever humming that
air! Foote asked a man without a sense
of time in him. Because it haunts me.
No wonder, said Foote; you are forever
murdering it.
Why is a man wlio makes additions to
a false rumor like one who has confid
ence in all that is told him ? Because he
re-lies on all that he hears.
“What’s the date of your bustle?”
was what an anxious papa asked his well
dressed daughter, after searching for the
latest copy of his paper.
The most wide-spread case of liver
complaint on record is in a house where
thirty boarders have it. But it is cheap
er than other meat.
A gentleman lying in bed one morn
ing was informed that he had better get
up quick, breakfast was just coming Tip.
“Let it come,” he replied defiantly, “it
will find me ready to meet it!”
“Why do you set your cup of coffee
on the chair, Mr. Jones ?” said a worthy
landlady one morning at the table.
“It is so weak, ma'am, I thought I
would let it rest.”
A cloth saturated with chloroform and
applied to the wound is said to be a cure
for rattlesnake bite.
Mountain tourists have a remedy that
beats chloroform all to pieces.jj
There’s an old lady with false teeth
out West who wants to know if the Yan
kees can’t invent some new way of put
ting on pillow-cases; meanwhile she nails
the cases against the wall and drops the
pillows in.
A debating society discussed the ques
tion, “Is it wrong to cheat a lawyer? ’’Af
ter full discussion and mature delibera
tion, the. decision was as follows: “Not
wrong, but too difficult to pay for the
trouble.”
Modest assurance —Lady of the house:
“Well, Millicent, how do you like your
new horse, ‘Roland?’ ” Robert, first
cousin to Millicent: “Run away with
you if you gave him a chance? By
George, if I can judge of Roland’s
feelings by my own, I should just think
he would/’
“ James Jones,” said a schoolmaster to
his pupil, “what is an average T
“A thing, sir,” answered the scholar
promptly, “that hens lay on.”
“Why do you say that, you silly boy.”
“Because, sir,” said the youth, “I
heal’d a man say the other day a hen
would lay on an average a hundred and
twenty eggs a year.”
A negro witness on a horse trial in &
New Jersey court was asked to explain
the difference between a box stall and a
common stall. Straightening himself up,
he pointed to the square enclosure in
which the judge was seated, and said,
“Dat ar’s what I calls a box stall, dere
whar dat old hoss is sittin !” It took
the sheriff some tune to restore order in
that court.
Editorial courtesy in a neighboring
State is thus exemplified by a cotempo
rary’s reference to a brother journalist:
“A nasty puppy, in the person of the
editor of a “weakly” newspaper, emanat
ing from a mudhole somewhere in the
northeastern part of this State, has tak
en it into his pate to bark at us; but we
are acquainted with the silly cur, and
feel not the least bit alarmed, as the im
pudent little pup is too cowardly to
1 ite.”
ALL DRUNK.
A merchant going home elevated, stag
gered against a telegraph pole.
“ Beg your pardon,” said he; “Ihope
no offence. It’s rather dark, and the
street is narrow, you see.”
In a few minutes he came in contact
with another pole.
“ Couldn’t help it, sir,” said he, lifting
his hat; “I never saw such crooked lanes
as we have here in this city.”
Again he ran foul of a pole, this time
with a force which sent him backwards
to the ground.
“Look here, neighbor, you needn’t
push a fellow down because he happens
to touch you; the road is as much right
to be here as you have, old stick-in-the
mud.”
He picked himself up, and made an
other effort to reach his home, but he
soon came plump against another pole.
“ I shan’t make any more apologies,”
said he. “If you get into the middle of
the street and stand hi the way, that’s
your look out, and not mine.”
Proceeding on his journey again, and
becoming angry and dizzy, he seemed to
be entangled into an inextricable laby
rinth of telegraph poles, which led him
to make a general speech.
“ Gentlemen, you are not doing the
fair thing. You do not give a man a
chance. You run from one side of the
street to the other, right in my way.”
Just then he met a friend, and taking
him by the hand, he said:
“There is a procession going along
the street, and every man is drunk; they
have been running against me all the
way from the club. I knocked one of the
fellows down, and one of the fellows
knocked me down, and then a lot of
them got around me, and I believe they
would have licked me within an inch of
my life if you had not come to my res
cue. Let us get out of this street be
fore the procession comes back, for they
are all drunk.”
BUSINESS.
There once lived a rolicking lawyer
—we will call him John Martin—who
had many virtues and few faults. He
would give away his last, and conse
quently was often dead broke. One day
lie must attend court at a distance, but
found himself without funds. Bushing
breathlessly into the office of a banker,
holding in his hand the promissory note
on a well known man for twenty dollars,
he hastily exclaimed:
“Here, Bill, what will you give mo for
that? Quick! train’s waiting.”
“Nineteen dollars and a half,” said the
banker.
“All right!” cried John. “Give me
the stamps.” And in a moment he was
off for the cars.
An instant and he was followed and
overtaken by the banker, who said:
“Look here, John; credits on the back
of this note, fifteen dollars.”
“I know it,” replied he.
“Will you pay it back?”
“Not a cent. You set the price—l
took it.”
“You’re an infernal scoundrel!”
“ Now, see here,” said John, “ what’s
the use! I can bring twenty handsom
er men than you who will say the same
thing.”
It was one of John’s virtues, this
calmness Tinder trying circumstances, and
it so charmed the purchaser of the note
that he never made another effort to get
the money.
An Irishman went for the first time to
a play. Just as the drop curtain de
scended, after the first act, an engine in
the basement exploded and the Celt was
blown through the roof, alighting in the
next square. His first remark after com
ing to his senses, was. “And what the
devil do they play next ?”
An Illinois widow who fainted away
at the grave of her husband and remain

weeks after.
Has been before the American public

MOLLIE WATERMAN AND HER DOG.
In the private album of the Chief of
Police, where all the celebrated women’s
pictures, or “mugs of the Mollies” at
tached to the rogue’s gallery, are kept,
there are many striking faces, some fair,
beautiful and proud, others soft and del
icate, others pinched and sharp, while
again are those intellectual, and with the
stamp of refinement and wealth. Mol
lie Waterman’s picture is one of these.
It is that of a plain, cold woman, just
like that of a statue would be, with her
black hair folded back and bound around
her head, while her dress of rich black is
caught by the throat with a heavy clasp.
By her side, with its head in her lap
and its intelligent eyes looking eagerly
into her face, is a black and tan terrier
dog of the medium size and with a plain
collar.
A singular picture to see in a gallery
of thieves, yet probably the most singu
lar pan found in the long lines of fa
ces.
Mollie Waterman never stole herself.
She trained her dog. Going into the
store, she selected various costly laces,
jewelry, etc., and, looking at them,
placed them back with a particular mo
tion of her hand, shortly going out of
the store. The dog remained, and seiz
ing the article when the showman’s back
was turned, made with it to her room,
where it was received by Mollie and the
dog rewarded.
For years she plied this with success,
until one day the dog was caught there.
Unheeding of herself, she surrendered,
imploring for the life of her favorite.
The picture of the two were, however,
taken together, and then the dog was
killed, the body being inhumanly tluown
into the cell where the woman lay.
So the police left them; but, when
they returned with the morning, she was
found dead, poisoned by her own hand,
lying with her steadfast friend.
There was a rude inquest of course—
a coroner and a joking crowd—but when
the two were tumbled into their old box
out into the Potter’s Field, there were
closed out forever two who might be an
example to many loving friends.
“See itty dackass, mamma, staffin' all

HOW TO CHOOSE A GOOD GOT.
A writer in the Northwestern 3&rm er
says: The crumply horn is a goal indi
cation ; a full eye another. H< ■ head
should be small and short. Avid the
Roman nose; this indicates lliin milk
and but little of it. See that sheis dish
ed in the face—sunk between tl t eyes.
Notice that she is what stock me] i call a
good handler—skin soft and loc le, like
the skin on a dog. Deep from tl fe loins
to the udder, and a very slim tail. A
cow with these marks never fails t( be a
good milker.

HAIR
[|J!|g3ipI^RENEWER
Every year increases the populari
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring Gray
or Faded Hair to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. It removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
erties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
baldness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create anew growth, except in
extreme old age. It is the most eco
nomical Hair Dressing ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, M.D.,
State Assay er of Massachusetts, says,
“The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and I consider it the Best Prepa
ration for its intended purposes.”
