THE MJyAL OP HONKN.
By Nobo’a lonely mountain,
On thi* aide Jordan’* wave,
In a vale In the land of Moab,
There Hath a lonely grave.
And no man dug that aepulchre,
And no man aavr it e’er;
For the angel of God upturned the aod.
And lad the dea l man there.
Thia waa the grandeat funeral o i#■
That ever naeaed on earth;
But no man heard the trampling.
f ' 4 < *‘ B l '^ k
Bo without aound of muaic or voice of him that
wept,
Silently down from the mountain crown
The great proceaaion awept.
Perchance the bald old eagle,
On the dark Beth-pwor’a hlght,
Down from hia rocky evrle
Looked eight.
Perchance
Avoid athe aacred apot;
Tor beaata and bird have aeon and heard
That which man knoweth not.
But when the warrior dieth,
Hia comrade* in the war.
With a-me reveraed and muffled drum,
. Follow hia funeral car.
They the# hie bawnete taken;
And tell hia battlea won,
And after him lead hia maaterlaaa steed,
While peela the minute gun;
Among toe nobleat of the land
Men lay the aage to reat,
And give the bard an honored place,
With ooatly marble* (treat,
In the great mlniater transept,
Where lights like glories fall.
And the awoet ohoir alnga and the organ ringa
Along the embl*zoned wall.
Thia waa the nobleat warrior that ever buckled
aword;
This the moat git ted poet that ever breathed a
word;
And never hae earth's philosopher
Traced With hia golden pen,
On the deathless page, truth* half so sage
Aa he wrote down for men.
And had he net high honor?
i„ The hilUide for hie pell;
Tb ll* fa state while the aDgeli wait,
With the sure for taper* tall;
And the dark rock-pinea like tossing plume*
O'er hia bier to wave.
And God's own hand, in the lonely land.
To lay him In the grave.
In that deep grave without a name,
* * * Whence Ms unooflhaed day
Shall break again, O, wondrous thought!
Befaratb. J #<!*•* dtt.l
And stand in glory wrapped around,
On the hills he never trod.
And speak of the strife that won our life.
With the Incarnate Son of God.
Oht lonely toaab in Moab'a land,
Oh I dark Beth-peor’a hiU,
Bp eak to these curious hearts ot ours,
And bid them to be still.
(hod hath his mysteries of grace.
Thoughts that we cannot tell,
And he hides them deep like the aeoret sleep
Of him he loved ao well.

A Bt. Louia hotLkeeper, after giv
ing tbe SWrttrefn Hotel disaster some
thought, hit upon a notable expe
dient, took his trusted employes into
his confidence, and chuckled as he
tbuught of the immense success he
going to achieve. About 2a. m.
tfc Friday an alarm of fire was sud
denly given ip the hotel, bell-boys
galloped tt> and fro along the halls
arousing the guests, a well-trained
brigade of porters flew to the bag
gage-room, the clerks, like so many
automata, seized the books and other
contents of the safe, and the burly
head-waiter stood at the top of the
stairs politely ushering the guests, in
their various- Stages of dishabille,
towards the office. When they had
all assembled there the proprietor,
who had been anxiously watching
the scene with his watch in his hand,
jumped upon the counter and said:
•‘Ladies and gentlemen, I have been
undesirous of having the comforts of
my guests impaired by the sad scenes
of the Southern Hotel, which, doubt
less, are fresh in your remembrance.
To this end I have thoroughly drilled
my employees—so that each one
knows his duties in the eveutof a
fire breaking out. Of their efficiency
you have had a sufficient proof to
night, when, in 4 minutes and 17 sec
onds from starting the alarm corps
of bell bdys out from the office, the
last guest—the fat gentleman from
six hundred andelghty-three, dressed
iu an undershirt and a sheet—rolled
down tbe grand marble staircase into
the rotunda; and this has been done
without confusion or accident. La
dies and gentlemen, I thank you. ir
ever a fire does break out, display the
same coolness you have shown to
night, and your safety'will certainly
Ve secured. Good nlghn Bless you!
As you retire to your virtuous
couches the head bell-boy at the
foot of the grand staircase will give
you each a package of cards adver
tising my hotel, which you may be
desirous of circulating among your
friends, adding your own testimony
as to the-efficiency of our prewtution
ary system against H He was
never allowed to fiateh the sentence,
for a transient guest troth Delaware,

scene that ensued.

Tlie Feline Crusade.
On Broly morning the Union and
Sun each contained a little notice that
Mr. F. Jordan wanted twenty 'cats, to be
delivered at his store, on Bay street, for
which he would pay the munificent sum
of ten cents each. Now, this city abounds
in cats, more than any other thing, ex
cept, perhaps, pigs or dogs or little darkies.
Cats run riot in every yard and alley in
the city; they lurk sin .every back yard
and fencttAartiriand kite in every stoop.
And this fact no doubt caused many a
vision of sudden and easy wealth to float
in the brains of juvenile darkies when
they heard of Mr. Jordan’s offer. Yes
terday monfiog*bright, and early, a pro
cession began marching to his store. It
was composed of colored people looking
expecsuptly happy as they guthered from
ail quarters, each one conducting one or
more cats, some in bags slung over the
snoulder, some hugged tenderly in the
arms, some led carefully by a string or
ribbon, apd some ignomiuiously trust into
small pockets; and ofevery size-and color,
and age and sex, from the ancient Tom
of sacred face and scalded back, the hero
of a hunarcd fights and myriads of seren
ades, to the poor little mewing, orphan
infant, scarcely old enough to purr its
discontent, they came to tbe store of
Mr. Jordan, who received them at firel
with a gratified smile, but ss the day
lengthened, and there was no cessation in
arrivals of cats, and the single score which
he wanted swelled from twenty to fifty,
and fifty ju> one hundred, and still n,
dimflttrtfon fa the number sppearineo
he began to wonder what he was to ad
with them all; and finally began to pock
them fa boxes and barrels, and bags and
baskets, and ship them to his friends in
various parts of the glode, with various
names and labels significant and sSgges-

itICII FOil ONE DAY. ,
Charles Jones lived in Bunkeraville. He
wss strictly honet, coiUquently he was
poor. Jones had, as msny poor men have,
a large family; and when winter bad arrived
it found him out of employment and almost
out of b. sil. By doing odd jobs, however,
he managed to ksep body and aoul together.
One morning he aroae in very low sp nti;
he waa to eat his tsst crumb of bread lor
breakfast.
‘What must I do?'he cried.
‘Trust to providence,' answered his faith
ful with, breaking in upon hi* soliloquy.
‘Wefl, I will. I’ll go down street and see
if I Can get an odd job or tvio.’
He had soarcsly gone a square when an
aequaiaiance, coming toward him , said—
‘Hallo, Jones, looking better than usual
this morning; no wonder though; 1 believe
I'd feel jolly, too, were 1 m your place. Al
low me to Congiatulite you.iir.’
Poor Jones was complethry staggered; for
merly he hid received only a cool nod of rec
ognition from Mr. Williams; now it Was a
kind word, and a hand offered to shake, and
congratulated, too. And for what? He could
only stammer:
‘Mr. Williams, l-l—really—l—what do
you mean!’ ;t,lj i,-u::
‘Oh, of course. Expected you would be
proud and stuck up,’ explained Mr, Wil-.
liatns, adding, ‘Give you two weeks to get
over that.’
And with this lacid explanation of his
conduct, Mr. Williams passed on.
‘He is crazy,’ exclaimed Jones.
While looking at the retreating form of
the supposed maniac a hand lightly touched
hia shoulder, which caused him to turn and
lace Mr, Graball.
‘How are you; Jones! Glad to see you,’
said Mr. Graball, extending his hand.
‘l—am pre—pretty we—well,’ essayed the
astonished Jones.
‘Of course you ars,’ said Graball. ‘And
how modestly you assume your new role.
I’ll tU you, Jones, you know you wanted to
borrow twenty-five dollars of me the other
day; 1 didn't happen to have it just then, but
yesterday I collected my rents; so this mor
ning, I thought l might as well make it fifty
instead ot twenty-five.’
Thrusting the check into Jones’s hand, he
was about to depart, when he added:
‘1 forgot, Jones; my wife says you must
dine with us next Sunday. Be sure to come
and bring your wife and children,’ As Gra
ball whisked out of sight, Jones tried to col
lect his thoughts. After a miserable attempt,
he determined to go home and consult his
wife; she might solve the riddle that puzzled
him.
Arriving at home amazement was only to
be succeeded by wonder and surprise, for, in
passing through the hall into the kitchen,
he found his wife un-heading a flour-barrel,
and his daughter putting away a lot of
beef.
‘ls it you, Charles?’ asked his wife.
■I don't know, Mary; just stick me with a
pin, till I see.’
•No, indeed I shall not, But just think of
it, Charles. The grocer sent up this barrel
of flour this morning that he refused to trust
us for last week, and the butcher's boy stop
ped with some meat when you know be has
refused all along. When I asked him what
was the matter he only winked and said we
could settle at the end of the month Mrs.
Stingy, otfr neighbor, sent in two pounds of
butter, saying she was sorry she didn't
have it yesterday, when we wanted to bor
row a cup-ful, but, as her butter man had
just come, she could spare us a couple ol
pounds.’
‘And I’ve got a check for fifty dollars.’
And Jones, overcome by such munificence
sat down and gasped lor breath.
‘I wonder what it means?’ faintly inquired
Mrs. Jones.
‘Give it up,’ shonted Jones, despairing of
ever solving the riddle.
Suddenly a loud knock was heard at ihe
front door.
‘lf that is any person with a house and
corner tot, retuse it. Tell them we won’t
have jt,’ yelled Mr. Jones at his wife, as she
rushed to see who it was. ‘Oh, ir is you, is
it’’ he said in a retieved tone, as Miss Telia!,
the village gossip was ushered in.
‘Ol course it is, but law me, 1 won’t get
mad at that. I told brother Jamea tbatl ex
pected you would be kind of lassy like and
excited; almost every one is that has a for
tune left to them.’
•What fortune, madam’’ demanded Jones.
‘Yes, what fortune?’ added Mrs Jones.
‘You don’t mean to tell me that you don’t
know that a fortune bad been left you? Well
I’ll read it to you.’
Miss Telia! pulled out the Bunkersville
Beacon, and read as follows:
‘We are glad to know that our friend,
Chas Jones, has come into a handsome for
tuue, left him by an uncle who recently died
in England. Good luck could not have fallen
on a more worthy man. We congratulate
him.’
‘That was what Williams wanted to do,
but I thought he was crazy,’ moaned
Jones.
•This accounts for it all, then,’ exclaimed
the practical Mrs, Jones.
■Miss Telial, this is a great mistake; I
have no fortune left me,’ said Jones.
‘And further, I never had an uncle in F-n
--gland; it’s some other Jones ’
Law me, da tell. Well, I’ll go home and
tell rhe folks, so they won t worry about you.
You see they thought you might be sick,and
would need careful nursing. But you havn't
got a fortune, you are not sick, are you? Well
then, good-by.’
‘1 knew it, : laconically exclaimed Jones
as..'Miss Telial departed.
■Knew what?’ asked bis wife.
‘That there was a power behind the
throne.’
‘Charles,’ said Mrs. Jones, ‘hadn’t you
better go down and see the editor of that pa
per? Tgrhaps fie can explain'
‘A wise suggestion, my dear; and one
which l will immediately improve.'
The next morning the Bunkersville Beacon
.eoh'Ufaed the following correction:
‘ln yes erday’s issue re said that Chas
Jones had conic into a fortune. That gen
tleman called upon us and wanted to know
when it was, We told him it was a mistake
—a typographical error—.that was all. It
shoald have been James. Weappeastd Mr.
Jones disappointment by giving him the pa
per free for one year, hut would say this is
the only case in which we shall deviate
from our rule of two dollars a year in ad
vance.’
‘He need not have spoken of his charity so
prominently,’ commented James, after rea
ding the paragraph
,‘Certainly he shouldn’t;’ replied Mrs
Jones. But then we can’t help it now
Weil, If 11 senfi that butter of Mrs. Stingy’s
home.’
‘Yes; and you had better tell her that we
appreciated— ’ ;
•What, the butter? No Charles, it was al
together too strong.’
'lf you would have allowed me to finish, 1
Would have added that we appreciated the
motive which prompted her to be so kind—’
“Law me,’ interrupted Mrs. Jones, ‘vou
can takeif yourself if you want a person to
be very fine.’
‘Never mind; we won’t quairrei about it.’
Jones, after he found out the reason of all
this excessive kindness, went to Graball and
offered up <h check which had been given
him. But Graball saw that he had been
caught up by his own cupidity, and thought
the best way to get*out of it with grace to
himself was to mak a present of the money
Fto Jones. But Jones wouldn’t Kstea to that;
jo it was settled that the money was to be
loaned, and Jones was to take his time to
pny d* ~ After paying the bnteW and gro
cer he had a neat sum left which served for
alt present necessities, ana soon after busi
ness picked up, and Jones obtained a prom
inert'situation.
He and his wife often laugh over the time
when fie'Was rich for One day.
