IN MEMORY OF JUDGE HARRIS.
By May Ssrlndall, La Grange.
The heart that beats with the heart of
God.
The soul that Is strung with heavenly
strings.
Can never be hid by the heaped up rod
Or the sombre shadow which grim death
Kings.
The night must yield to day, and through
the gloom
The down creeps up to rout with rosy
fl-II.E-
The golden stars. Silently they meet
their doom
And disappear, concealed by glowing
tides of modest shame.
Al noon, ft tree tings wide lu sheltering
"arms.
Inviting weary tollers to Its shade;
A crystal brook with sparkling coolness
charms.
And flasnes on to hide In flowery glade.
A rose, from some recess of garden dim,
Breathes out to passers by a fragran
sweet; .
A silver-throated bird Its evening hymn
Regina to trill, its day's work to com
plete.
The sun that rises from his golden bed
Must set In purple clouds at clcse of
day;
The oak that sheltered many a weary
head
Will full, to rise no more, beside the
dusty way.
Some deeper stream will hide me bab
bling brook;
The bird's sweet song at night Is soon
forgot.
We fondly turn the leaves of nature's
book,
To find its lovllest poem, but the rose
!k not.
Thus these are things that when tW go
Leave us forever, as fleeting winds blow
O'fcr the land, unmarked by any trace.
And these are things that bless and know
not why;
They have no thought for weary, sin
sick souls,
For aching brow and parched lip and
tearful eye.
For the Uttle boats that heave at.d toss
on a sea made rough with shoals.
Not so with him whose glorious life was
blest
In blessing others. With cheering ray
The Hunshlne In his heart made light the
heart oppressed, *
And changed Its night to day.
His gracious, hallowed Influence who can
bound.
Or nay what cause of Christ was In
bis heart denied?
His love with golden chain has linked
the world around, *
And reverent thoughts of him at!r many
souls and in many hearts abide.
Thou art not dead, <D friend, so tried
and true.
Thine image is impressed upon our
souls.
As lasting as the sky so deeply blue,
memory's brlght-
Thy face, soft framed with age's sliver
hair.
Reams kindly on us from our -Vsnel
wall
A» If to say, "My children, meet me
there.
Where death shalt never cast its sable
pall."
Sleep on! Unbroken be thy sacred rest.
Though tost' to U!\ we know that tho
hast found
A fairer clime, a region more divinely
bleat.
Where waving trees and fragrant flowers
and crystal streams abound.

"Little deeds of kindness.
Little words of love.
Make our earth an Eden
Like the heaven above."
Unfelttohm'ss is an unfnlling test of
noble manhood. Tine chivalry always
springs from this source. To show tho
esteem In which generosity has always
been held, n little instance is found In
the life of Sir Philip Sydney. Before
relating this little st'ory, perhaps it
would be best to give a few of the lead
ing traits /or which this good man wna
so famed, lie was one of the noblest
men of his time. He was learned, be
ing a poet nr.d writer. On account bf
his chivalry and courtliness he was
made a knight, nnd Elizabeth was fond
of calling him the "Jewel of nor domin
ions.” He was the nephew of the rarl
Leicester, '.ho was sent over In 'fiSd
assist the Hollanders against Phillip
of Spain, and It was at the famous
battle of Zulptreni that the Incident
which I em about to relate occurred.
Sir Philip Sydney had been fighting
■bravely all day, when he received a
wound In the thigh, which proved to
be his death wound. As he was- borne
wvay upon n litter,the profuse bleeding
his wound caused him great thirst
and he asked for water. One of the sol
diers handed him a cup. but Just ns he
was about to put It to his lips, he no-
ti.vt .i common «ddler. who had also
been severely wounded, locking at the
cup with such eager, hungry eyes, thnt
gave It to him, saying, 'take it, thy
necessities are greater than mine."
What could bo more touchingly beauti
ful than tills one act of unfelflshness,
which has made the name of Sir Philip
Sydney immortal?
This calls to mind another act of o
similar nature, but under different cir
cumstances and in a different sphere cf
life, clearly showing thnt It Is notvonly
among the grent th.it noble hearts are
found, ttut among the lowly as well,
and that ns generous n heart may throb
beneath rags ns beneath a cover of silk
and velvet. Two little Boys were sweep
ing the street one day. And one of them
picked up a bait eaten apple, he was so
hungry that he took a Uiige bite Imme
diately, and then offered It to his com
panion. a little gentleman, despite his
tattered garments. The little fellow
took very modest bite, upon which the
one who had found the apple, exclaimed:
•Ob. bite bigger. Wily/* To my mind
,t (s hard to distinguish which was the
nobler of the two natures. Sir Philip Sid
ney oi* the ragged street urchin. One
was reared In affluence, amid gie splen
dor of the English court, with the mest
cultured men of the tlmev the other. In
poverty, hunger and dirt, knowing no
difference between right and wrong

him.
Terrible Privations Undergone by the Ship

Copt. Larsen, maater of the schooner
Undaunted, which was wrecked off Cop

San Francisco Examiner man a fearful
story of suffering. Said he:
"The Undaunted left Kadiak on Feb

With a view of picking up an extra hooter
a call was made at Kyack Island. The
anchor was dropped on the lee side of

able to make about a mile an hour to
the north with her h«-td to the .swell.
About midnight the man at te wheel sung
out that there was aif ugly groupd swell
coming, and at once on effort waa made
to wear the ship. Then the toreboom
broke, and before anything could be done
the breakers weye washing over tho
schooner. No craft that ever carried sail
could make headway against these break
ers, and with every wave she was car
ried nearer Inshore.
"It was 1 o'clock in the«momlng of the
7tfi when she g6t among the drift Ise
and bergs, and a few minutes later we
fetched up against a huge Ice floe. The
wreck was soon complete. Tho sc tenner
was plnctied In a white vice, ant the
brakern dashed her up on the Hck at
the Rime time piling on the deck snowers
of drift ice, which Quickly *baitered the
vessel to pieces. With the greatest dif
ficulty we collected some of our clothing
and (he remains of the ship's boats and
clambered upon the Ice floe, the only place
of even temporary refuge ayallaftle. The
next day, with the sails from GTe main
mast. which luckily fell on the lloe/ftnd
the fragments of the wreckage, a ,rude
cabin was rigged up as partlol protection
from the terrible cold. The breakers pre
vented any of the stores from being
washed far away, so wo were able to get
together a fair stock of provisions. Then
for close on a month, our crew, number
ing eighteen men—three white and fifteen
Creoles—lived on Chat little piece of ice.
had ten years' cruising In Alaekan
waters, but I never endured real suf
fering before. We had no water, and
the snow we melted to drink froze almost
as we were lifting-the pot.from the lire.
Two of the men .we had to bind hand
and foot. They were crazy nnd would
have Jumped into the sea. 'Two others
were almost blind, and all had more
less 1-tt.l Injuries, frozen feet and hands
being with difficulty prevented from
mortifying. Andy McPherson, out cook,
will be a cripple for life. His feet are
gone.
•On April 3 the floe we were on showed
slgna of breaking up. The ice all around
was crashing und grinding till It seemed
seemed us if all the cannon In the world’s
navies had been turned loose. We had
to take chances that never would have
suggested themselves to really sane men.
As a forlorn hope, w'e bundled the whole
party Into tho ship's boats, patched them
up as well as wo could, but they were
no better than paper among that Ice. We
thought we had one chance In about 100
to get to Ncrwtchech Island, and, provi
dentially, wind and weather stood us
good and we reached there all alive."

SOME LONG BALLOON TRIPS.
A Vain Effort to Cross the Mediterra
nean—From England to Germany.
The longest balloon voyage on record
was one undertaken In 1882, In which
the distance traveled wus a little more
than 1.2Q0 mi lea Three voyagers on
that occasion. s.»ya Harrison's Maga
zine. made an ascent in France, with
the Intention of crossing the Mediterra
nean and landing in Algeria. The wind,
however, proving unfavorable, carried
th«m toward Corsica. When they wera
near Us&t island the balloon descended
toward the water, und for a time thelf
lives were In great Jeopnrdy. By throw*
lng out all thdlr apparatus •'he succeed*
ed In getting the balloon t*» rise to a
height *>f between L\0W and 3,<XK) feet,
and, traveling on to Italy, they safely
descended .In thait country at a. flute
village near Bresoln. Another balloon
voyage of nearly the game length wat
undertaken In November, J836. On lha
7th qf that month Charles Green, with
twb friends, ascended near London In a
balloon, crossed the channel from Do-
ver to QtipflC. and, passing over France
and Belgium, found thomsflvos the next
morning tfver the * Rhine. Proceeding
further, they arrived at Viborg, where
they descended about 8 n. m. on the
8th of November. A recent balloon
voyage of M. Mallet, the French nenv
nuut. bated thlrty-«x and one-hall
hours and would have been the longest
on record If he had not landed In the
middle of it. He left Vilaite on Otobei
23 at 6 p. m. and nexit morning landed
at Otrovflle. In Alftice, to clear the
snyw from the balloon. At the end rd
twenty-five minutes he started again
nnd landed near Coblentz at 8 p. in.
An hour and a half later ho r.inded
once mure In a valley cn Taunu Moun
tains. and finally, an October 25. at 4
p. m., at Wnilben, In Hesse. Two oi
three aeronauts have proposed to eroos
the Atbiric 4n a balloon, t/u/t bo far it
has begun and ended In talk only.

The Kansas Voter’s Weakness Is for
Noise; Hurrah and a Big Procession.
What ‘the Kansas man •wanits (s noise
and tots of It, says -the Kansas City
Star. He not only wants a brass band,
but ih'e wants a brass hand with plenty
of tubas, and enough brass drums to
to wake all the echoes on a town site
and keep -them awake with nervous
prostration for a week. After that
tho Kansas man wifi .read your, tracts
and listen to the •pei-ohes—bm not
until they have been formally and
properly introduced. ,
The Kansas man has followed the
brass band all bis life. That prince
of political drum majors, Jim Lane, led
the original brass hand, and What an
array of followers ho bad! While -It
may be true that his enemies have
outlived his friends, it is none the less
true that while bis brass band played
there was never such a troop of fol
lowers behind any hand Lane secured.
Then came Mr. Ingalls, and his band
played war songs, the chief of which
was "John Brown’s Body." (Then
came tit. John—>what a triumphant
tour bis band had until he came to
believe that he was a bigger man than
his big brass drum. He was followered
by a number of smaller horn blowers
and .then came the bfk brass band of
the last decade of this country—'the
Farmer's Alliance. Everbody followed
It; tho like was never-seen before in
Kansas. Thero was nothing to it but
brass band—nothin* but noise and flre-
workls and toe boom-boom-boom of
the big bass drum. Yet to that boom
ing of the drum the people of Kansas
set their most sacred tunes with allia
ance words; to 'the ''oompa-pah-oompa-
pah" of «»he tuba they timed their foot
steps anV cast their ballots, and when
the day’s work was done the people on
the sidewalk warohlng the procession
were barely numerous enough to mako
a minority repffirt. Of Jate that brass
band Is short of wind. Mr. Lewelllng
has stuffed rage in a good many clari
nets, and Xhe attempt on the part ©f
the women to pkiy the brass horns has
weakened .the noise, an<L 4t seems that
people are leaving the line.
The thing for the Republicans to do
now is to get out their old rusty brass
and blow hard and Tong. The Kansas
jmi bus a way of getting behind the
longest procession, IT he can only find
which one it Is. S:art la with the
proposition that the Republican proces
sion is longer, that ahe Republican
band wagbn Is bigger, and -that there
is only ono horn of the delimma. which
Is t'ootlng for «he straight ticket, and
before a week the crowd will be an
hour passing a given point, the band
wagon will be filled .wirh enthustfstlc
cornlsU Mewing their lungs out f«>r toe
"parity.*' while the genileinan who has
charge of the Initiative and referen
dum. the flat money and the "Duns-
more house" win bo slowly but surely,
* wallowing his French horn and won

be proud.
