And watched her glee and delight,

One bush was broken—the stopped—
And, heaving a heavy ilgh,
She whispered close in mine ear,.

When the news was eadly rent mo

And I remember with many a sigh,
ller sweet little voice as she whispered
“Dod let that fower die!’’
The wintry wlndi whistle and slug,
And the melody I catch from the storm
I'ormi a lullaby of the child's words,
“God's got it, keeping it warm.”

GOSSIP IN WASHINGTON.
Ono of the most familiar faces to be seen in
Washington Is that of Dr. Bliss, tho man who
flgnrcd so prominently during the long two mouths
and a half when Garileld lay slowly drifting to
death under the Impetus of Gulteau's bullet.
About one year ago the doctor's health began to
fill. Years of incessant smoking had at last as
serted its Insidious and deleterious effect, and kts
friends at ono time feared that death was about to
lay Its hand upon him.
Almost the entire life of Dr. Bliss has been as
sociated with Washington, When quite a young
man bo began his practico here and achieved
steady success until about fifteen years ago an
allegcd^dlreovcry in medical science engrossed his
attention, diverted from his practice, and finally
camo near proving his ruin.
It Is said that many years ago in sorno wild por*
t!on of South America a man lay sick almost unto
death of cancer. His wife, grown weary of tho
coustant watch over the slow course of the disease,
- . determined to shorten her husband's sufferings by

“Why, that is only nettle rath.” “What is

her it proceeded from aome slight disorder of
the stomach, and I would get her seme soda

“Why, mother, If that’s all I’ll get them," sold
Hal: and when tho old farmer, who supplied them

Hal applied for the place and got It.
“It won’t be like studying," said tho bluff farmer,
(bowing him out to the potato patch; “but it won’t

The days were dull and long, but a pleasant break

A short time ago, at a meeting of tbo conn,
ell, this member mado ao offort to have tbo
license of $250 reduced to $200. Tbo council sat
down banl on tbo movoment to cut
down tbo license, and the member
in question, got mad and moved to make tho
license $2,500. This motion caused qulto a
commotion in the council chamber, and pro
duced a general discuselun In which nearly all
of tho momliers took a lively part. When tho
mayor put tbo motion tn tho council to in-
crease the licenao to $2,500 the motion waa tost. -
Tho dealer was not satisfied with the result
and made another motion to make tho lieonss
$1,500. The mayor put the motion to the body,
hut before It was voted upon the mover asked
leave to withdraw the atme. At this junctors
a prohibition member Jumped up and insisted
upon tho motion being put. The mayor, under
the circumstances couid do nothing else than
comply with the request and put
the motion beforo tho counell. Much to ths
surpriso oftho mover the motion to mako the
license $1,500 waa adopted. Since then Law
rencovllle has been a dry town, and the In.
creased license made it so. It la said that the
chances of Ittwroncevllle remaining dry are
good, and for the first time in her history tho
citizens of the placo can’t buy a drink when
they want one.
