JUST ONE LITTLE SONG, LOVE
Then sing the song wo loved, love,
When all life Boemed ono song;
For life is none too long, lovo;
Ah, love is nono too long,
And when above my grave, lovo,
8or'o day the grass grows strong,
Then sing that song wo loved, love;
Lovo, just that ono swoot song.
Bo when they bid you sing, lovo,
And thrill the joyous throng,
Then sing the song wo loved, love;
Love, just that one sweet song.
Joaquin Milleiu
PURE GOLD.
What, though on peril’s front you stand,
What though through lone and lonely wavs,
With dusty feet, with horny hand,
You toil unfriended all the days,
And die at last with man’s dispraise?
Would you have chosen ease, and so
Have shunned the fight ? Qod honored you
With trust of weighty work. And oh !
The Captain of the heavens know
His trusted soldier would piove true.
Joaquin Milled.
The Old Settler-
BE nELVTBS TO THE BOYS TflE ST01IT OF
JOB BTllF-ETKll’s STAIiT IN LIFE.
"Undo Job Streeter died Ins’ work, I

"Somebody died and loft him tlio

"Little off, to-night, ain’t yo, Major?”
said tlio County Clerk.
"Not a dnrn hit, b’gnsh I" exclaimed
tlio Old Settler. "I’m a glvtn’ yo

Tho boys all said they'd go back with

"Job Streeter lived bnck in tho woods
np nloug tho Big Bushkill, in 1830. Job
hod the liorve to go hack thar au' start
a cloarin’, an’ his wife woro gnmo enough
<o go with him. Iu two years ho’d
unkivored enough dirt to ninkun tatei
patch nn’ a threo-bnahol field o’ huolt-
whit. Then Job built a log house with
a winder an’ up-stairs to it, nn’ n celler
under it with a door on tho outsidu that
be oould open an' shot. That wero s
big thing iu them dnys, an' folks usety
go ton mile to see the new Slruutor
bnildiu’. To git up stairs ye had to
elimh a ladder, an' then if ye walked on
yer hall’s an' knees yo could git to a
nioo hunk whar Job an’ Mag slop’.
Jot) married Mag Hwink, a gal that'll sot
all the fellows crazy at tlio apple cuts
an’c h i) buskin's fur two or three vein
buck. Th’ war two rooms down stain
iu Job'a new house—a kitchen nn’ n

wore a couple o’ hron’ftls o rag
carpet tz was left over arter kiverin’ th’
spare room. Mont jin’ ez well a had a
parlor an’ a nett in' room, too, if she only
had some more carpet or Humpin' to
divide ’em off with.
"Bars bothered Job's clearin' u good
deal, an’ it tide a dnrn good deal of his
time n shootiu’ un’ truppiu' ou ’em to
keep ’em out’ll bis 'tutors nn’ bnokwliit

Toosday.
"Ev’rytliing wont all light at Job's,
an' Toosdny came ’roun', wo'on Mag was

had gone upstairs to bed, ho ’membered,
b’gosh, that he'd lef’ the outside oellur

Nino unrecognized bodies carried
away from tlio Morgue to lie buried in
one day may bo taken ns a mere surface
indication of wlint the mysterious
fatalities of life are iu a great cily.
Whether life was ever less snfo nuy-
wboro in any civilized country than it iu
witli us just uow, and whether n well
paid nud much pampered polieo overdid
less to prevent acts of violence or to dis
cover tho perpetrators, or whether n
cumbrous and expensive judicial ma
chinery ever less answered the pre
sumed end of making tho law a tenor to
criminals, are all points open to doubt.
Murder appears to be a pastime and jus
tice a farce. Iu tlio open streets, in the
broad daylight, a man gives n woman n
mortal blow; slio dies in tlio hospital,
and tlio police nro as much at a Iohs for
any knowledge of tlio facts ns if it had
occurred in China iu tho timo ot Con
fucius. And if this blindness of tho po
lios docs uot give a mail of murderous
impulses nssurauce enough, tho admin
istration of justice is fitted to strengthen
Ins resolutions, and thu iufluito refine
ments and ileiays of judioinl procedure
as instanced, say, iu the case of Conroy,
tho policeman, seem to nssuro nlisolnto
immunity from forotblo attendance nt
what was once known ns "a sheriffs
ball.’’
Within a short timo two inci
dents linvo been addod to the strango
ohrtmlolo of vast and varied incapacity
tlint tho history of our criminal justico
presents. One is tlio story of tlio dead
woman found whore slio had lain in a
heap of psheB for a year or two in the
very heart of tlio city—only a few hun
dred yards from tho City Hall and with
in a few feet of a constantly crowded
thoroughfare; tho other is tlio departure
of tlint nffectlolinte "mother" of the po
lice, Mrs. Mandelbnum. Mrs. Mnndei-
bnuni liaB lived iu tho city for twenty
yonrH or more, and for nil tlint period
her house luia been nil acknowledged re
ceptacle for the products of thousands
of burglaries, Upon tho commission of
any ini) ortant robbery within a hundred
miles of this city tlio polieo oould linvo
gone with almost absolute certainty to
tlio pine- 1 of deposit of tho valuables ill
tlmt woman's house, or iu somo bouse
tlmt was only a detached portion of her
promises. Nay, alio kept n shop at
hu ll stolen goods were sold over tho
counter. Not a finger wns laid upon her
till lately. But the spirit of reform puts
one good mnu into office. He shows n
disposition to do his duty, and nil tho
machinery of law and "justice" conies to
tlio protection of tho old sinner and she
is lvsonod once more. As to tho woman
in the cellar, her history provokeH a
doubt touching the efficiency of tho po
lieo for the performance of tlio most
modest of polieo functions. It often ap
pears as if thu city wero tlio liattlo
ground of tho criminal classes nml ns if
tlio pulico wero only a kind of ambulance
corps to go about nml gather up tho
killed nml wounded; but thin incident
shows that they nro not very excellent
at polieo duty in even the strictly mili
tary HI'llSO.

to expect of the average policeman that

polities it is hardly to bo supposed there
could be discipline enough iu tho force
to make it effective; but it is tlio duly ot
the Board of Health to nose out nml fol

(VlIY TIIK MILLIONAtHK U.lVR A HALF
MILLION DOLLARS FOR A UENItVO-
LENT t'OIU’OSE.
As nearly as I Can ascertain, says a
newspaper correspondent, Vnnderliilt's
gilt of $500,000 to the New York Col
lege of Physicians anil Surgeons all
came from a small incident. Vander
bilt stopped at a wayside inn iu upper
New York, us is Ills custom of nu after
noon, to lost liis horses and tako a glass
ot gin nnd water. The placo is known
to horsemen as Barry's, and iH common
place enough, except for being the
favorite stopping place for Vanderbilt,
and for that reason a resort of the
ebrouio roadsters. While ho stood with
liis bnck to the bar, his elbow on it, a
pitiable cripple entered—a little boy
w.tli misshapen legs nud back awry.
"How did you got into suoli a shape,
sonny ?" Vanderbilt asked.
"I wns runued over,” tho urchin re
plied.
An accident on the road had special
interest for tho questioner, and lie got
the particulars. The little fellow had
Deen overturned niul trampled on by n
fast horse. He was too poor to bo doc
tored at homo and yet his mother fool
ishly objected to liis removal to a hospi
tal whore he might have recoived proper
treatment, but ho had been taken to
the College of Physicians and Surgoous,
where applicants get inadequate atten
tion or only such ns will servo os illus
trations to tho leisons w deli tho stu
dents are learning, the facilities boiug
so limited as to prooludo auything l'ur-
thor.
It chnrced that Professor Dorcmus,
tho specialist iu chemistry, dropped
into tho barroom at this juncture. In
answer to tlio Kiug of Mammon’s
questions, lie said it was a pity that
tbits college, with the m .at skillful < f
surgoous iu its faculty and the incentive
to utilize injured persons at once to
their own benotit and the teaching of
the students, wns prevented from doing
so by limited quarters and soaut facili
ties. He said Hint a big building would
serve"ns good a purpose ns lie knew ot
in tho whole range of New York’s
charity. From that d roetly came Van
derbilt’s unexpected half million.

A Barrel of Beer Apiece.
Lastyear, according tothcreportof the
Commissioner of Internal R.iveiiiie, tlio
people of t his country consumed 17,578,-
723 barrels of beer. This, nt3I gallons to
tho barrel, is 551 010,-113 galloim—near
ly 10 gallons yearly for every man, wo
man and child, But ns the infants under
teu years of ago ate not large consumers
nf beer, it may bo moro interesting to
observe that wo consume fully fifteen
gallons for every person, male nnd fe
male, over ten years of age, and about u
barrel of beer yearly for every person
eiigagod in any gainlul occupation. Tho
consumers pay for beer by the glass, as
a rule. Wnoiver pleases can calculate
tlio tux which labor voluntarily bears,
at tlio rate of a barrel of beer for every
worker, malo and female.
If there are hard times coming, if
many are to bo out of employment and
uot a few uro to lack food and shelter,
would it not bo a good timo for those
who have earnings to suvo oneli a little,
by consuming no moro than seems to
them requisite for health and comfort?
There are many who, if they think of it
ill time, would rather help a neighbor to
a loaf ot bread than spend tho money in
an extra drink or two.

ttllt (iOini INIglit*
Let mo toll you n fanny thing tlint
happened nt tlio Ptilico "f Wales’ honso
nt Sandringham tbo other night. It is
tho custom nt English country houses
for tlio gentlemen who smoko to go to
tlio smoking room nfter tlio Indies have
retired nnd there, with the nocorapnui-
mentii of spirits nnd soda water, to
smoko nnd chill art long ns they like.
On theso occasions "smoking sniis” nre
worn. Nearly every man who goes out
much hns his smoking suit nnd somo of
llioso worn by heavy swells are very
elnbornio and costly. I linvo beard of
ono tlint cost its owner tlio modest sum
of forty pounds. It appears that n cer
tain gentleman wns tanking liis first visit
to Sandringham, nnd miulo liis first np-
penrnneo iu tlio flunking room in his
evening clothes. Ho wiih hailed with
shouts of derision by all tlio others nud
informed tbnt lio must go nnd put on •
hla smoking suit. "But I don’t happen
lo have one," ho quietly replied. "Not
got n smoking suit? Wlint rubbish!'
exclaimed n iittlo chap in tlio Bluos;
"tlio idea of n man not having n Bmolt-
ing suit, Wlint shall wo liuvo next ?"
“Haven’t, nil tlio samo,” said Ihootbsr
ns lie proceeded to till n pipe and light
it. Tho others looked from ono to tlio
other as much as to sny. Him 11 we put
him out? "I'll toll you wlint,” said one;
"wo’ll let him off to-night, lint it ho
comes down to-morrow night in those
tilings wo’ll tear his coat off ids back.
Hear that, old man?” The man in tlio
plain swallow tail nodded and smoked
ou. Tlio next night he didn’t mnko liis
appearance, nor tlio next and everybody
thought that, of course, he had sent up
to liis tailor for a smoking suit. Ou tlio
third night, nfter all tho rest of tlio
usual habitues of tlio tnbngio bad assem
bled in thoir accustomed choirs, in lio
walked. Bat donee tlio bit oi a smoking
suit bad he on. Ho woro evening
clothes as before.
With n shout tho others jumped from
thoir seats r.nd in n jiffy Ids coat was
plit up tho back from waist to collar
and drugged otf. Ho stood it quietly
without a word until tlio others sat
down. Then, with tlio ruined coat
clutched in liis hand, “Are you quite
done, gentlemen ?” There was n chorus
if "Quite," embellished with loud nnd
irolougcd laughter. “Because if you
’ lie wont on, "I should like to suy
to you”—and ho throw tlio ooat into tlio
lap of tho man who had suggested tho
treatment ho had received—"that this is
your coat. I wont li.'<> your room nf'er
you changed yoffr clothes to-night .and
put it on. Mine is packed up 111 >py
portmanteau up stairs and the key is ,'9
my Borvnnt's pocket. I dare say you
may wnut a dress ooat for dinner to
morrow. I sha’n't. I’m going ntvay in
tho morning, so I’d advise you to tele
graph to your tailor to send you down n
reaily-mado 'stop gap’ till he can mnko
von another. Good night. I'm off to

A Snake (tint Committed Suicide.
I was ono day following ono of the,
largo brenking-iilows, common nt llio
time. It whs ilri.wii by 11 vo or six yoke
of oxon, nnd there woro two men to
mining.) tlio plow nnd tlio tonni. As wo
wero going nloug, ouo of tlio men dis
covered n rnl lli-sunko, ns l remember
nliinit twelve or fourteen inches in length.
They ruroly exceeded eighteen or twenty
inches, so tlint this ouo was probably
two-thirds grown. Tho man who first
saw it was about to kill it, when tlio
tlior proposed to soo it' itoould Itomndo
to bite nsolf, which it was commonly
reported the rattlesnake would do if
angered and prevented from escaping.
Accordingly they poked tho suako over
into the plowed ground, am! tin n begun
tensing it with thoir long whips. Es
cape was impossible, mid tho simke soon
became frantic at its iuefieelual attempts
either to injure its ns-aidants or to got
away from them. At last it tnrned.upou
itself and struck its tangs into iti own
body, about tho middle. The poison
seemed to take dl'eot instantly. Tho
tangs were not withdrawn nt nil; nnd if
not perfectly dead within less than five
minutes, it at least showed no signs of
I fe.
That it should die so quickly will not
seem strange if it is homo in mind tlmt
tlio same bite would lmvo killed u full-
grown man in a few hours’ time. The
men watched it long enough to bo sure
tlmt it would uot he likely to move mvay,
and then wont on with their work. I
trudged around with them for an hour
or more, and every timo wo came where
the snake was, I stopped nud looked at
it; lmt it never moved again. In this
wise, I do not remember that the snake
had neeu injured nt nil. ] have often
heard of rattlesnakes biting thoinsciveu
under sueli circumstances; lmt this was
ilie only case tlmt ever came under my
observation.—Nature,

“Brnkomnn,” inquired a passenger on
Iho Kankakee line as tlio train stopped
at Lalayette, "how lung does this train
stand here?"
"Seven minutes. Thero’s tho lunch
room across tho street there.”
In a minute and a half tlio boll rang
the conductor shunted "All aboard,” ami
ns the train moved swiftly out from tho
statiou a man was seen running across
the street. Mud flew from his feet and
mince pio from his mouth. At liis lieols
barked n yellow dog, snapping for the
hum sandwich which tho mnu swung
wildly in his hit hand. He attempted
to shout for tlio train tostop, tint choked
oil n piece of liono in the pie, nnd liis
voice was lost amid tho rattle of tlio
wheels uml tho howling of the dog. Tlio
passengers stuck their heads out of the
windows and smiled, while ladies waved
their handkerchiefs. Convulsively grasp
ing the huuu-rail of tho rear coaoh he
hung on until the lmt tons wero nil burst
from his pants and tho brakoman came
to Ids rescue. When that worthy lmd
succeeded in pulling him to the plat
form lio hi tol led up hifl pantnlooUH,
gasped for breath and exclaimed:
"Why.why don’t you gi-give a mau
timo to eat liis lunch ?”
"We do,” replied tho brakeman with
n line curl of sarcasm ou liis coal sooted
'ip, but wo can’t allow time foi* a, pns«
sengor to stop off ami give a street
show, i here’s some pio on your shirt
front, sir.”—Chicago Herald.
