I observed a locomotive in the railroad yard
one day
It was waiting in the roundhouse, where
the locomotives star-
It was panting for the journev, it was coaled
and fully manned
And it had a box the fireman was filling full
ofsan-l
It appears that locomotives cannot always
get a grip
On their slender iron pavement, ’cause the
wheels are apt to slip;
And when they reach a slippery spot, their
tacticstb v comnoind,
And to get a grip upon the rail, they sprinkle
it with sand.
It’s about this way with travel along life’s
slippery track.
If your load is rather heavy and you’re
always sliding back;
Fo, if a common locomotive you completely
understand,
You’ll provide yourself in starting with a
K' supply of sand.
If your track is steep and hilly and you have
a heavy grade.
And if those who’ve gone before you have
the rails quite slippery made.
If you ever reach the summit of the upper
tableland.
You’ll find you’ll have to do it with a liberal
use of sand.
If you strike some frijil weather anddis-
That you’re cover jto liable your cost, slip
to on a heavy coat of
frost.
Then some prompt, decided action will be
called into deman 1,
And you’d slip way to the bottom if you
haveii’t any sand.
You can get to any station that is ou life’s
schedule seen,
If there’s fire beneath the boiler of ambition's

And you’ll reach a place called Flush town at

If for all tho slippery places you’ve a good

NOT HIS SWEETHEART.
YOUNG man on a

sun that gleamed
HHU J at the quay end
made its shadow
MMr/ oven less enviable.
jsjHEjb aFj handsome He w’as a fine,
young
feliow, somewhat
-nN shabbily dressed,
and as bo walked
he carelessly took stock of his surround¬
ings.
Near the bottom of the row a window
was open, and, by a geranium that
in a pot, tho first and only flo.ver he
had seen, a girl was leauing lightly on
her elbow. Her soft, hazel eyes were
fixed on the opposite doorway.
Here a woman with a red faoe and
brandishing a broom in her haud was
barring the entrance against a herculeau
man in a glistening oily frock.
“I ax you agin’, John Wade,” shout¬
ed he of tho oily, “if you’re agoin’ to
sea?”
“An’ I tell you agin’, skipper, replied
a dogged voice from the interior, “I
ain’t agoin to sea.”
“Then,” cried thc giant, wildly,
“what am I to do? Here's the vessel
read to sail an' you askulkiu’. But, as
my name is Bill Thompson, I’ll police
ye.”
He looked so big and helpless in his
muddle that the girl at the window,
who seemed used to such scenes, smiled.
Looking up at her and seeing for the
first time that she was in deep mourning,
tho young man smiled ulso. Taen a
thought appeared to strike him.
“Am 1 of any use?” he said to the
wearer of the oily. “I want a job.”
The skipper looked at him doubtfully;
he thought he was joking.
“If you're ready an’wiuin’, tuy lad,”
he said, “you’reof use. But if you ain’t,
you ain’t. Dye want a berth?”
“I want everything,” answered the
young man iu a low tone. “I’m home-
less and penniless. But I’m a lauds-
man.”
“That ain’t a bit o’ consequence.

take your pay card? What’s your name,
mvlad?”
“John Smith,” was the auswer, and
his hesitation escaped the skipper.
“Well, Smity, for fear o’ accidents,
some one had better take your money.
Who'll ye leave it with?”
The young man again looked up at
the window at the sweet, pure face
above him. The gaze of the rough sea
giant beside him followed his glance.
“Oh, I see!” he exclaimed; “yon’re
going to ask it, miss. Well, you know
where to go. Old Tom Price is the
owner, 'an the name of the wessel the
Saucy Lass.
“Come on, Smith, no more hankyin’;
your sweetheart u!l tare your m 3 ney,,”
and he seized the newly shipped by the
arm.
At the word “sweetheart” the cheeks
of the girl at the window grew as red as
the geranium by her elbow. In a
startled manner she stretched over the
sill.
“No, no,” she cried in confusion, “I
do not know tho gentleman, I—I—”
But already Smith, with the hand of
the skipper on his arm, had been hur-
ried out of earshot, and before she could
reach the door the two had vanished
down the road.
Eight weeks later the young man,
bronzed and hearty, stood on Yarmouth
quay. His sea rig had given place to a
decent suit of clothes, and he seemed
pondering last which way to go.

T ^ contaiQeii a postoffice order
wrapped in a piece of.notepaper, and on
this was written ‘-Katherine Perry.
The amount was the sum due to him on
his pay card.
He had been to the house, but found
her gone. Yet here was his money
by her in this form.
What mystery was this? He lay back
in the sun and tried to solve it, but no
solution came, and with murmur of the
sea in his ears he romantically kissed the
order. Then he rose and walked back.
On bis homeward path he stopped to
buy a morning paper. They were but
just in, and the news vendor was smooth-
ing them out. Suddenly he caught his
bieatb. His gaze was riveted on an ad-
vertisement that read thu^r

the above firm, wilt he suitably rewarded
Before noon that day John Smith had
shaken the dust of Yarmouth from his
teet and was on his way to London. At
Liverpool street he hailed a hansom and
was driven to the office of Messrs. Fur-
ness & Wapp, solicitors, Lincoln’s Inn
pj e l ds .
As he burst into the office a carefully
dressed old gentleman weariug a pair of
gold rimmed glasses stepped forward to
greet him. This he did by nearly shaking
his arm off.
“Why, my dear George,” he cried,
“how glad I am to see you. We have
been advertising for you all over the
country. How is it vou haven’t seen
our advertisement before?”

with a smile, “iu a fishing smack.”
“Sea—fishing smack!” gasped the
lawyer. “You, George 1 Is it pos-
sible?”
In a few words the young mau told
his talc. The old solicitor listened with
much interest; then his face grew grave.
“So you have not heard the news, my
boy,” he said. “Your uncle is dead.”
“Dead!” repeated George Neal, sadly,
“aud we parted in anger merely because
I refused to follow the profession he had
chosen for me.”
“It we thought oftener of the King
of Terrors there would be fewer quar-
rels,” said the lawyer, kindly; “but he,
too, was sorry, George, though when you
hear tho rest you may think he took
rather au oid way of showing it.
“Y'o’i know, of course, I was the per¬
son most trusted by your uncle; besides
being his confidential adviser I wa9 also
his friend. Well, as soon as you left I

“At first, my dear boy, he wavered
between leaving hia*money to a home for
cats and the founing of a colony for re¬
formed pickpockets. These mad pro¬
jects, however, soon evaporated, and,
subject to one condition, he made his
property over to you.”
With a curious expression on his suu-
burut face, the young man looked up.
“And that condition?” he said.
“Excuse me a moment,” said Mr.
Furness, looking at his watch. “I ex¬
pect a lady here presently; let us step
into my private room.”
The lawyer led the way, and in the
privacy of this apartment they both sat
down again.
“And that condition?” said George
Neal firmly,

and, with a beaming face, he bowed
himself out
If the oid lawyer 3 clerk had any de-
sire to look into that room after his mas-
ter had left it, he was disappointed. Mr.
Furness’s eyes never left him for a mo-
ment.
When it seernei to the despairing
clerk that the best part of the day had
gone Mr. Funess went back to his
strangely met visitors. His eyes fell first
ou the drooping figure of Kate.
“May I hope,” he said gently, “that
the explanation has not been a tiresome
one?”
“No,” said George, with a glowing
face; “to me it hasn't. Now, old friend,
listen to me. I have offered my deal
Kate the property without incumbrance.
But she ha3 refused to accept it on any
such terms. Wnat are we to do?”

New York Rents.
The rent problem is the most serious
of a11 financial problems to the man of
moderate means iu New York. The city
has an area of forty-one square miles, in
w bich there is a population of nearly 1,*
800,000, while Philadelphia, with over
129 square miles of territory, has sorne-
thing over 1,040,000 inhabitants.
There is au average of 6.35 square feet
space to each inhabitant of New
^ or k. while there is au average of 3425
square feet for each inhabitant of Phila-
delphia. There is still room, however,
b>r many more people in New- York,
although in one district the population
is denser than in any other part of the
wor hL
But New York is long and narrow,
with , the business “centre at the south-
crn extremity, and, with imperfect sys-
te,ns of ™pid transit, this renders the
bouse problem much more difficult than
* n other cities.
It is not surprising, therefore, to learn
from the Federal census of 189 J that
New York, with 312, < , 6(? families, has
ou ^ 81,823 dwellings, while Philadel-
P hia < with205,135 mmilies, has 187,052
dwellings.
New York there arc over 1S£ per-
sons to every dwelling on au average,
while in Philadelphia there are only a
dttle over 5^.
i hese statistics expilaiD, in a measure,

^urk. A whole house iu New’ York is
a luxury that comparatively few people
can enjoy. Only 37,604 families out of
312,766 live in houses containing no other
families. Over forty-two per cent, of
all the dwellings in New York are tene¬
ment houses. There are 8672 dwellings
which contain ten families and over each.
Over one-fourth of all the dwellings con¬
tain an average of over twenty persons
each. Here many a man is obliged to
give oue-fourth to one-third of his in¬
come to the landlord. Apartments in a
fiat house rent for more than whole
houses do in other cities, and even two
or three rooms iu a tenement cost as
much as a little dwelling elsewhere.—

Burning Preliminary to Tillage.
The planters of the Brazilian forest
provinces sometimes burn down several
square miles of woodland in order to
prepare the soil for tillage; but such is
the vegetative energy of that moist,
warm climate that in less than four years
a clearing of that sort will, if left alone,
p e again covered with a tangle of bushes
aad good sized trees. In Yucatan, too,
veritable forests have sprung from the
ruins of ancient palace cities which once
j were probably surrounded with a con-
siderable area ot cleared field. In drier
j climates, often on the havoc other hand, which forest leaves fires
cause a its
traces for half a oentury or more. The
fine mountain forests of Attica, which
were burned several years ago, have
been plowed and replanted with acorns
and walnuts, but it has been estimated
that twenty years must pass before the
ney plantations will repay the outlay
witn shade or an armful of fuel. On the
dry central piateau of our continent
burnt forests generally remain “dead

Michigan the traces of a woodland con-
j fiagration are visible for % a series of yeare,

EX-PRESIDENT HAYES DEAD.
He Dies SoMenly from an Attack of
RHenmalisi of the Heart
Which Was a Surprise to the Public—
Short Sketch of His Life.
Ex-President Rutherford B. Hayes died
nt his home in Fremont, Ohio, Tuesdav
night at 11 o’clock. The cause of his
death was rheumatism of the heart, and
was quite unexpected. It was the second
attack of the kind he had suffered within
two weeks, and although his condition
was regarded as somewhat serious, and
excited the alarm of his family, the en-
courngement the given them by Dr. Hilbest,
that family physician, led them to believe
the patient would soon recover. For

SHORT SKETCH op ms CAKEEH.
Rutherford Birchard Hays was born in
Delaware, October 14, 1822. In the
autumn of 1838 he entered Kenyon col-
lege, at Grnnbir. Ohio. Ou liis gradua-
tion, in August, 1842, he was awarded
the valedictory omion, with which he

Ohio, and .hen attended a course of lec-
tures at Harvard, entering the law school
August 2., 184o, and lirushing the
studies therein January 18 45. On May
J, 184o he was admitted to practice in
the courts of Ohio as attorney. Ou
December 3, 18o„, he married Lucy TV.
Webb, daughter of Dr. James Webb, of
Chiliicothe, O.
In 1856 he was nominated for the of-
lice of common pleas judge, but de-

Heitor Heitor of of Cincinnati. Mr. Haves had ,
Hen^ytcuVin Henry Clay m 6 l844, 1844 S (£ne»l General Taylor in
1-48, and for General Scott 1852. He
joined the republican party as soon as it
was organixed and advocated the elec-
tion of Freemont in 1856, and of Abra-
ham Lincoln in 1861.
IN THE ARMY.
He was Maj >r of the Twenty-third
Regiment of Ohio Volunteers. On Sep-
t< mber 19, 1861, he was appointed by
Genera! Rosecrans, judge advocate of the
department of Ohio. In October, 1861,
he was promoted to tho rank of lieuten¬
ant colonel. On September 14, 1862, he
distinguished himself by gallant conduct
iu leading a charge in and holding his
position at the head of his men after
being severely wounded in the left arm,
until he was carried from the field. On
October 24, 1862, he was appointed col¬
onel of the same regiment. He distin¬
guished himself in a number of battles
during the war. General Grant in his
memoirs spoke iu high praise of - General
Hayes’ services. After the war General
Hayes returned to civil life and took his
seat in congress December 4, 1865. On
reconstruction he voted with his party.
He was re-elected in 1866 and supported
the impeachment of Andrew Johnson.
In the house of representative he won
a reputa ion of a working legislator and
a mau of sound judgement.
GOVERNOR AND PRESIDENT.
In June, 1867, he was nominated for
governor of Ohio by the republican con¬
vention. He was opposed by Judge Al¬
len G. Thurman, wh m be defeated. Iu
June, I860, Governor Hayes was renom-
inattd tor governor and re-elected. In
July, 1872, he was nominated for cong¬
ress and was defeated.
Iu 1875 he was again nominated for
governor of the state. He at first de¬
clined the unsought honor, but after¬
ward accepted. He was elected after a
canvass wbich attracted the attention of
the country by reason of the national
qm stions involved.
The national republican convention
met at Cincinnati, on June 14, 1876, and
Mr. Hayes was nominated for president
of the United State*. The principal
candidates before the convention were
James G. Blaine, Oliver P. Morton, Ben¬
jamin H. Bristow, Roscoe C mklin and
John F. Hartrafr. Mr. Hayes was nom¬
inated on the seventh ballot.
The result of the election and the acri¬
monious dispute engendered is a matter
of too recent history to recall. The can¬
vassing boards of the stab s in question
declared ti e republican electors chosen,
which gave Mr. Hayes a majority of one
in the electoral college, nnd the c riiri-
cates of these results were sent to Wash
ingtou by the governor of the states.
THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION.
But the democrats charged fraud, nnd
other sets of certificates, certifying the
democratic elector* to have been elected,
arrived at Washington. To avoid »
deadlock, which might have happened if
the canvass of the e'ectoral votes had
been left to both houses of congress, t:ie
senate having a republic n and the house
of representatives a democratic maj uity,
an act advocated by members of both
parties w s passed to rtier composed ill contesttd
cases to a eotnmis-ion of five
senators, five republicans nnd fiv-c judges
of the supreme ecu t.
The decision of this commission to be
final unless set aside by a concurrent vote
of the two bouses of congress. The
c< mmission refusing to go behind the
certificates of the governors, decided it;
each contested case by a vote of tight to
seven in favor of the republican electors,
beginning with Florida on February 7th,
Rutherford B. Haves was, ab last, on
March 2d, *iee ared duly elected presi¬
dent of the United States. This ended
the long and painful suspense, nnd the
decision was generally acquiesced in, snd
the popular excrement sunsided quickly.

dress be substantially restated the prin¬
