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. "BITE BIGGER. BILLY/* ABSOLUTELY PWRE For sale at wholesale by B. It JAQUES & TINSLEY and A. B. ON FLOATING ICE FOR A MONTH. "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 •ave what his own loyal heart taurtvt him. Terrible Privations Undergone by the Ship wrecked Crew of a Pacific Sealer. / Copt. Larsen, maater of the schooner Undaunted, which was wrecked off Cop per River, Alaska, last March, told a San Francisco Examiner man a fearful story of suffering. Said he: "The Undaunted left Kadiak on Feb ruary 22 on a hunting §nd sealing trip. 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 the island at about C o’clock on the even ing of March 5. That night a terrible storin arose, and by 2 o'clock in the morn ing tho anchor chains had parte, tl was WH/wIng h.inl at tl)'.- turn*, uni tii«- v-s.-i I Was drifting out from the shore in a southwestchly direction. At 4 p. m. the wind dropped and a dead calm set In, but by tliat time a frightful s«*a was running. The chain was hauled In and double sails set. Toward night a light breeze sprang up nnd the vessel was 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." ALWAYS FOLLOWS THE BAND. SOME LONG BALLOON TRIPS. A Vain Effort to Cross the Mediterra nean—From England to Germany.

B. Rloodwv>rth. Forsyth. June 19, ISM. 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 dering why the spirit of mortal should be proud.
