Here ,s a friend who says that sorrow
Comes to41ay or conies to-morrow;
Here’s a Iongface who is moaning!
Tell him death is far away!
Let doll age go weep and pray;
. . Heed not grief; the’ ghost there groaning,
Who would cloud the jocund day!
Ah, they say that anguish found them,
. Men cut down with battle round them—
(Hear the beys there gaily singing!)
In some region faraway!
' What care we who laugh to-day?
; Bring no tears, whatever you’re bringing;
♦ Honor to the jocund day!
What’s that sound that cools our laughter? .

Youth by death was ne’er confounded—

Oh, my dear one, to my weeping
Marble silence sternly keeping.
Lying there in breathless blindness,
Death isuever far away.

A SILK EAKDKEECHIEF.
BY EMM v UPPER.
Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria.
There was to be a picuie at the
Lodge that afternoon, and Cora
had promised to go. “She'll nev
er let me," Cora thought, wielding
the paflor duster with nervous
hands—“never! She’s got on her
blue silk handkerchief to-day, and
don’t I know by experience that
she wears it only when she’s feel
ing dismal and thinking over all
the trotbl es she ever had or will
have, and that she never wants me
to do anything when she’s that
way. Oh, dear! And I told him—”
Cora paused in her reflections
and turned to face, with a cour
ageous smile, the stout and digui-
fied lady who had entered.
“There’s a picnic at the Lodge
this afternoon, Aunt Cecilia,” slie
began—“just a little impromptu
affair. They talked it up the other
night at Bess Lang’s party, and I
promised to go. Of course I meant
to speak to you first.”
'Certainly!” said Aunt Cecilia.
The blue silk handkerchief was
folded around her plump neck iu a
particularly unbecoming way.“Ton
should have spoken to me immedf-
ately. Who has invited you?”
‘Mr. Pierce.” Cora raised her
soft eyes anxiously—“.the young
man who is here prospecting ror
the Bryan Yalley Railroad, you
know. They are thinking of put
ting a branch through here, and
Air. Pierce has been here several
times this summer. He’s very
nice and he’s invited every
where; and—and we seem to know
each other very well .now, for he
always talks to me, you know.”
Cora spoke with her pretty, eager
rapidity, her cheeks flushing. “He
wants to call, and lie’s coming this
morning to see if it is all right
about my going this afternoon. 1
-old him of course it would be. We
want to start about one—”
“Pierce?” said Aunt Cecilia.
‘One of the West Gainesbro’
Pierces?”
“I don’t know; presume not. No,
I think he’s from—”
“I know the West Gainesbro’
Pierces root and branch,” said
Aunt Cecilia, deliberately—“root
and branch—and I would no more
allow a niece of mine to associate
with ODe of them than I would al
low her to associate with—Never
mind; I will not argue it, Cora. I
know the Pierces. I am grieved,
and I am displeased that you have
formed an acquaintance so un
pleasant to me, whom yon should
have considered. I hope not to
hear of another—”
“But he isn’t one .of the West
Gainesbro’ Pierces,” Cora__ cried—

can’t think of the place he does
come from. He told me, toe. But
oh, Aunt Cecilia, he’s so gentle

Helpless tean; stood in her eyes.
She had not quite realized before
how much he had come to be to
her—handsome, bright-mannered
Albert Pierce.
“I desire you to have no more"to
do with him,” said Aunt Cecilia,
showing her niece a sevei e, straight
profile. * Aunt Cecilia was certain
ly good-looking; her nie.ee resem
bled her. “A clandestine acquaint

“It is—I know it is. And clan

you say so? And what shall I do?
He’s coming this morning to see
about it—and-dear Aunt Cecilia-”
“I should prefer not to have, him
come,” said Aunt Cecilia. “We
will end-this undesirable acquaint
ance here and now, Cora. He is
at the Lane House, I presume? I
will send Matthew there with a
note, if yon will write it. My niece
cannot attend picnics with a stran

a warm one. Her niece knew that.
Standing with her eyes hidden,
childlike, ou the back,of her baud,
which was wet wjth tears—stand
ing with indignation, and real mis
ery in her despairing heart—Cora
murmured, dismally. *
“She Dever would have done it!
Don’t I know? It isn’t like her;
she couidn’t have! It’s that blue
silk handkerchief.”
Aunt Cecilia had the phaeton
brought aronnd early that after
noon and called to Cora.
Cora, fvejfi as a rose in a pink
cambric dress, with white lace
flounces, was playing anew waltz
in lively style. Cora did not be
lieve in worrying or sulking.

and the bright look with which she

man looted pale, and was wincing.
His uat was in the dust, and some
dark curls lay very becomingly on
his white forehead; He was broad,
shouldered, strong-faced, tall,, and
he was smiling pleasantly up at
them, and bowing to Cora, too"
Aunt Cecilia reiterated her ejac
ulation.
.“Upon my soul! Have you
sprained your wrist? You cer
tainly, have. Well, I never saw
anything braver. I—Well,
Aunt Cecilia, wiping her flushed,
excited face, “I can’t express my
self at all! You might have been
seriously injured—were you aware
of that? It isn’t every man that
will risk, his own life to save a

stepped into the carriage beside
her, were the results of a sensible
determinatibn not to make matters
worse than they already were.x
Aunt Cecilia wore her blue silk
handkerchief—that was enough.
Perhaps—yes, surely-tbings would
come out right somehow-
Cora hummed the waltz as they
drove away.
“If I’ll run back and get you a
lace fichu, Aunt Cecilia,” she ven
tured, “won’t you put it on instead
-insffead of—”
“This handkerchief does very
well,” Aunt Cecilia responded. “I
have had it twenty-years, and I
wear it now and then for old times’
sake, Cora.”
Um—yes!” said Cora, patiently.
“What are you going to do with
these tv;o jugs, Aunt Cecilia?”
T am going to have them filled
with boiled cider at Bentley’s ci
der mill,” Aunt Cecilia rejoined.
Oh! Cora 'murmured. “Never
would Aunt Cecilia have driven to
Bentley’s mill for two jugs of boil
ed cider if she had not be©n wear
ing her blue silk handkerchief for
old times’ sake.”
“Yes, Cora,” said Aunt Cecilia,
gloomily. “I have had this hand
kerchief twenty-two years this fall.
I remember perfectly how I came
came by it. Your Great-uncle
Godfrey had a store in West
Gainesbro’, and lived there—that
is how I came to know the Pierce’s,
Cora—and he gave me this hand
kerchief. His store burned that
same winter, and the poor man
lost liis sight only the next year.
Was it that year your Aunt Sarah
died? No, that was late the next
spring. An excellent woman your
Aunt Sarifk was. She caught a ter
rible cold, and it settled on her
lungs, and her death was painful
and lingering. The next year—”
Aunt Cecilia paused in her
cheerful reminiscences.
“I wonder if Dan will be fidgety
at that machine up the road? I
think not. Can you make out what
it is?” '
“A steam thresher,” said Cora.
Dan wouldn’t mind if it wasn’t in
the middle of the road.”
“We can manage him,”, said
Aunt Cecilia, who was always
plucky. “There are some men
there to hold him if be is nervous.”
She drove on.
“Nervous?” said Cora, anxious
ly. “I’m afraid he’s more than
nervous. If we could turn back—”
Bur Dan was prancing rapidly
on toward the monster which had
startled him as.by a frightened
fascination.
Dan was young and somewhat
skittish in his ipost sober moments.
He eyed the machine askant, whin
nying and pricking bis ears and
already trembling; and when its
steam whistle was suddenly .blown,
he gave a fieigh of wild terror,
threw up his heap! anc[ his jjind
hoofs, and dashed on rip the road,
swerving dangerously near the
ditch at right or left as bis fright
ened senses prompted him, and ob
livious to all but his foolish equine
fears.
That moment seemed a lifetime
to Cora. The roadside shrubs
rushed irregularly past, the dqst
flew.
.Aunt Cecilia was palling fran-
Cecilla demanded, her intent,'ad
miring eyes roving from the tall
head to the firm-set feet of the
preserver.
“Albert Pierce, madam. And
don’t thank me!” Albert Pierce
begged.. “1 am so glad to have
been of service to you—and Miss
Cora!”
His comely face shone.
“Oh, Mr. Pierce!” Aunt Cecilia
echoed, mildly, studying him
thoughtfully. “From West Gaines
bro’?”
“From Bussell Coauty, ma’am—
from Saalberg,” said Mr. Pierce.
“You don’t say so!” Aunt Cecilia
cried. “I once knew a John Pierce
who moved to Saalberg, Bussell
County, from my native town,
Phcen—”
“Phoenicia,” said Albert Pierce,
yet more, smilingly. “Haven’t I
heard him tell Phoenician ' legends
till I know some of them by heart ?
John Pierce was my father, Mrs.
Turner.”
“Dead!” said Aunt Cecilia, her
face softened. “Yes, yes! I re
member hearing when John Pierce
died. A fine man he was—a man
in every sense, and t of a fine fami
ly. And this is son! And his son,’
said Aunt Cecilia, beaming upon
him with admiration and gratitude
and warmth, “has saved two lives.”
“Nonsense!” his son protested.
“Excuse me, Mrs. Turner, but—”
“Two lives,” said Aunt Cecilia,
“which I risked by my own rash
ness. I will try to .thank you, Mr.
Pierce. Will you drive us home?”
Aunt Cecilia querried, .abruptly,
there being a slight quiver in her
voice and an eloquent look in her
eyes.
He was in the phaeton in a sec
ond, his feet emong the* jugs and
his eyes on Cora. Hers were drop
ped, and the rapidity with which
hsr breath came was not accounted
for by her fright, which had passed
over.
“I thought yoq would be at the
picnic,” she faltered.
“Do you imagine I would go
without you?” he whispered, re
proachfully. “It wasn’t you, Cora,
I know it wasn’t. It wasn’t your
idea, writing that note to me—that
miserable little note? I know bet
ter!”
“You will come home to supper
with us,” said Aunt Cecilia. “I
have a salve which is unequaled
for sprains. You must let me bam
dangeyour wrist. John Pierce’s
son! How strangely things come
about!”
“I don’t believe it’s sprained,”
said Mr. Pierce; and . he looked
happy.
Aunt Cecilia wore a beautiful
white lace fichu at supper, and
was in good spirits. She eyed
John Pierce’s son, and listened to
him, and considered him from all
points of view; and when he bad
gone, late ancl lingering, she pinph-
her niece's pink cheek, sighing
and smiling,
"I suppoge jf it ig to he, Cora,’ 1
she said, “that I can stand it. I
don’t want to lose you for some
years yet, and I don’t think I
should havelooked with favor up
on anybody else. But a son of
John Pierge—”
“You will burn' up that awful
old bine silk handkerchief, won’t
tically at the lines, with no faint-! you, Aunt Cecilia?” said Cora,
est effect. • They would be over- laughing as she kissed her. “It’s
turned in the ditch.and hurt—kill- so—unbecomi n g! And you've had
ed, perhaps. ^ : it twenty-twoyears already; and—”
In which ditch? . ; “Just as you say, my dear,” s^id
Cora found her benumbed mind Aunt Cecilia, placidly,
concentrating itself on that whim
sical question.
Washington,* D. C.—Some
sweeping changes iD the manner
of electing the President and in
his term of service are being care
fully examined by the House com
mittee on the election of President
and Yice President. This. is the
committee which reported the force
bill last congress. The present
committee believes that its time
can be more profitably occupied
upon measures for general good.
The committee will probably re
port soon a plan for electing the
President and Yice President
which has all the features of an
j election by a popular vote, without
some of the difficulties and dan
gers which would surround that
plan if the attempt were made to
take the aggregate vote of the en
tire country.
The plan which the committee is
considering is substantially the one
which Mr. Springer of Illinois pro
posed in the last congress,and which
he proposed again about a month
ago in a House resolution propos
ing to amend the constitution. The
plan is to leave the apportionment of
electors among the states the same
as at present, but to have the elec
tors for each state divided' accord
ing to the popular vote of the peo
ple in the state. In other words,
the voter in New York or Illinois
would vote directly for President
Harrison or ex-President Cleve
land, and the electors would be dis
tributed according to the number of
Harrison or Cleveland votes in the
state.
If New York cast 570,000 votes
for Cleveland and 510,000 for Har
rison, Cleveland would receive 19
of the 36 electoral votes and Har
rison 17. The party casting the
larger fraction where the popnlar
vote would not divide exactly,
would haVe the larger number of
electoral votes. The result in the
close states would be to give a ma
jority of one to the party-which
carried the state, but .in such a
democratic state as'Texas, the mo
tive to poll the largest possible vote
would be as strong as in the.close
states, iu order to win as' many as
possible of the electors.
The plan has a number pf ad
vantages over the existing system
and over the system .of an aggi e-
gate vote. It secures a fairer repre
sentation of the popular will than
the present system, ancl cuts off
the possibility of gerrymanders
and political manipulation. The
decision of the contested questions
under the new system will proba
bly’be left to the Supreme court in
each state. Congress could not,
under the existing constitution,
force jurisdiction upon state courts,
but. a constitutional provision ac
cepted by three-fourths of the
states would be conclusive and
binding upon them.
It would hardly be possible un
der the new system for a Presi
dent. who. carried, the aggregate
vote of the country by any consid
erable majority to fail of a majori
ty of the electors- Mr. Springer
figured out last year that the ap
plication of this system to the last
election, when Mr. Cleveland had
nearly a quarter of a million pop
ular majority, would have given
him a safe majority in the electo
ral college Instead of Mr. Harri
son. The system is being sup
ported, however, in- committee
without regard to party, considera
tions in the belief that it will be
fairer in the long run to all par
ties.
It is intended to free the ques
tion from any personal or partisan
elements by providing that the
new system shall not go into effect
until one or two elections have
passed. It is propose^ ta couple
with the new system of election, or
to put in a separate amendmentj
another change, also proposed by
Mr. Springer, to fix the term-of
the President at six years and
make him ineligible for re-election.
It is not desired to do this until
the next President has been cho
sen and given an opportunity tq
seek re-election if he desires it.
This would postpone this part of
the proposed reform until the elec
tion of the year 1900.

The great speech delivered at
Ann Harbor recently hy ex-Presi
dent Cleveland, on the subject of
character in politics, was almost
drowned by the noise of the ma
chine at Albany. The politicians
of the country, those who are run
ning and yelling with the machine,
turned deaf ears to the voice of the
great democratic statesman who
had gone a great distance to say to
the youth there assembled, and to
the youth of the land, that there
is something higher and nobler in
politics than- its spoils. It was a
lofty theme, worthy the man and
worthy the boar. The two thou
sand or more students who heard
the address must have been im
pressed with the nobility of the
thought and the crystal parity of
the patriotism which pervaded it.
If they, and with them, the youth
of the land, shall take the lesson
into their lives as an inspiration
and guide into the citizenship and
its responsibilities which they are
soon to assume, the future will be
full of hope for the Eepublic.
The following is an extract from
Mr. Cleveland’s speech:
“I beg you, therefore, to take
with you when you go forth to as
sume the obligations of American
citizenship, as one of the best gifts
of yonT alma mater, a strong and
abiding faith in the value and po
tency of a good Conscience and a
pure heart. Never yield one iota
to those that teach that these are
weak and childish things, not
needed in the straggle of manhood
with the stern realities of life. In
terest yourself in public affairs as
a duty of citizenship; but do not
surrender your faith to those who
discredit and debase politics 'by
.scoffing at sentiment and princi
ple, and whose political activity
consists in attempts to gain popu
lar support by cunning devices and
shrewd manipulation. You will
find plenty of those who will smile
at your profession of faith, and tell
you that truth and virtue and hon
esty and goodness were well enough
m the old days when Washington
lived, but are not suited to the
present size and development of
oar country and the progress we
have made in the art of political
management. Be steadfast. The
strong and sturdy oak still needs
the support of its native earth, and
as it grows in size-and spreading
branches, its roots must strike
deeper in the'soil'whieh warmed
and fed its first tender sprout.
You will be told that the people
have no longer any desire for the
things you profess. Be nqt de
ceived. The people are not dead,
but sleeping. They will awake in
good time, and seourge the money
changers from their sacred temple.
You may be chosen to public
office. Do not shrink from if, for
holding office is also a duty of citi
zenship. But do not leave your
faith behind you. Every public
office, small or great, is held in
trust for your fellow citizsns. They
differ in importance, in responsi
bility, and in the labor they im
pose; but the duties of nong of
them can be well performed if the
mentorship ‘ of a good conscience
and a pure heart be discard
ed. Of course other equipment .is
necessary, but without this- men
torship all else is insufficient. In
times of gravest responsibility it
will solve your difficulties; in the
most trying hour it will lead you
out of perplexities, and it will at
all times deliver you from tempta
tion .”

A young man had accumulated
SI,000,and was debating whether he
should buy a small candy store
with it, or whether he should lend
it oma mortgage. The other prom
ised great profits. In this perplex
ity he saw an advertisement:
“Advice given to those going in
to business.”
After stating his case the coun
sellor said: “My fee will be §5 in
advance.”
Y hen this was paid he asked:
“Do you understand the candy
busiuess?”
“No; I did not think it was nec
essary. I expect to supervise it
merely.”
“Then you will. lose all your
money in three months.”
Yon think I had better lend
the money on the mortgage?”
I do not say that.. What is ycur

fectly understand?”

Never mind what you like. Go
and get a small place and make
pickles. Go from hotel to Jiotel,
from restaurant to restaurant, and
sell them. In ten years come back
and see me. You will have $10,000
at least.
as the young man was going
away he was called back.
Here is a card. I want yon to
put it where you can see it a hun

words on the card: “Business ia*'
busiuess. Men don’t do what they
like; they do what they can.”
The card had a facination for
him. He read it with care as he
walked along the street. As he
studied it new light seemed to en

It is needless to say he succeed

flannel cloth which is soaked in
kerosene oil once in two week 3 .
Take the cloth and with scrubbing

“I Im jus! recovered from a
second attackof the grip.thisyear,”
says Mr. Jas. O. Jones, publisher
of the Leader, Mexia, Texas. “In
the latter case I used Chamber-
laiu’s-Cough Remedy, and I think
with considerable success, only be
ing in bed a little over two days,
against ten days for the first at
tack. The second attack I-am sat
isfied would have been equally ah
bad as the first but for the ns© pf
this remedy, as I had to go to bed
in about six hours after being
‘struck’ with it, while in the first
ease Pwas able to attend to busi
ness about two days before getting
‘down.’ ” 50 cent bottles, for sale
