SUMMER NIGHT.
Oh silent night 1
Oh. smothering stillness
Tbat settles down on drooping bouph.
Sliou hold'st the earth in breathless blumber.
"Awake but now.
Gray mists arise
From dew-wet flowers
-That lend their frapranco to the night:
Anil languid float on breath of summer
An Incense light
A pale moon .shines
On weary grasses.
That bend their heads with mournful pracc
Then sinus behind the white clouds floating
Andtveils her face.
Ilcat quivers oft
In lightning Hashes
Along the soft gray northern sky
And Illuminates the grand old forest
In shade near by.
A bird nlngs out
In broken stanzas
From yontall bush with blossoms fair.
Ifream songs that .sung in drowsy snatches
Arouse the air.
And echoes find
In hidden music.
That soft descend from regions high.
And wake the sleeping sultry breivcs
To sort! sigh.

All his sisters answered at once.

Jrnnir.
"Is she small and pretty?" queried
Belle.
"Docs she wear a d:rk brown dress?"
Inquired Fanny.
"Yes yes yes!" said Ton y. laughing.
"Oh! we know all about her" came
In chorus.
"Go on" cried Tony. "Let me know
what you do."
I thought you were absorbed in lit-
erature" remarked Tony's aunt front
b far corner.
"b'o 1 am aunt; but human beings
Interest me too. Why not? I notice
thi.t this girl goes out. rain or shine
alwaj-s alone. Sometimes she walks
quickly and her expression is bright
und restful. Then again her step is
alow and her face very sail."
"I can account for that" said Jennie
She was nursing Mrs. Kobins ami bad
n very hard siege of it up all Highland

"Is she a professional nurse?"
"Xo; that is the trouble." explained
Fanny. "If she were :- profesi..uai
anj-thing she would be at least sure of
a living. She is an orphan left to her I
own resources and has no special train-
ing." 1
"And is she a lady?" asked the aunt
"Yes. She has good friends. Mrs. j
Allen next door rents her n room she
goes to her meals at the house of t
another friend. She works at anything
she can get to do nnd I suppose slip
Jiays her modest expenses. She can j
trim bonnets make dresses nund. and .
even cook if necessary. We met her
socially before wc learned these facts."

"I do not quite understand you .Ten-
nie" suv'.tl Aunt Lizzie. "What do you
mean by 'a past generation?"
"Oh! well auntie if you don't know
just what I mean 1 am afraid 1 can't
make you. Miss llnrton is shy and dig-j
nifVd. If she feels like tho other girls
about her she certainly docs not act or j
express hersel f as w e do. Of course she
cannot enjoy what we do. She has
nothing to say when public amuse-
ments are the topic because she has
neither the time nor the money to "
"Take them in" suggested Tony.
Exactly" went on .Jennie. "1 was .
trying to avoid the slang because 1
wanted to convey a proper impression
of Miss Itarton. She listens eagerly
but takes little share in general conver-
sation. She dances gracefully: she was
playing the piano on one occasion for
some one to sing."
"The fact is" interposed Melle "that
she has no more to do with our ways
und ideas than the man in the moon."
"She isn't in it!" said Tony.
"Now v-ou have it" said his aunt
rmiiing.
"Where are you all off to now?" cried
Tony seeing his sisters putting aside
their bits of embroidery.
"Oh! we have hours of formal calling
before us and three receptions."
"I thought you were going out to-
night." lie sighed nnd glanced at his
foot.
"So we arc."
"Wc won't be home till morning"
iang Uelle.
"Wc are very selfish" said Jranny
"but this is such a lovely invitation!"
"Oh you can't decline on ray ac-
count. 1 only wish I could hop along
with you. Pon't forget to come in and
let me look at you before you put on
your wraps."
"No indeed!"
The door ihut after tho girls and
Tony returned to his books. When he
heard hU slaters going out he gazed
kfter their slight figures in their well
msde walking-dresses and while so
doing became conscious of Miss liar-
ton slowly approaching them. He ob-
served their distant nod of recognition
and her almost imperceptible move-
ment of the head in return. She reached
her own stoop and disappeared in the
estibule.
"By Jove!" he exclaimed "I'd like to
hake them!"

the great evils of our foolish policy.
According to Senator herman ard
Congressman .1. H. Walker two of the
great republican statesmen who were
most prominent in dm f ting it. this law
when it was passed in lVM) was recog-
nised M tc unsound and unsafe as a
linanrial policy and was put through
only as a political makeshift. The re-
publicans then had full control of
every law-making department. Kven
if they could not hold together in both
houses of congress to defeat free corn-
nge bills the president unless lie disre
garded all of his public utterances
must have vetoed such a bill: and
Mi rely it could not pass loth houses
over his head.
Why then did not the republicans
give us a comparatively sound and
stable currency at once'.1 It was be
cause as politicians they wore looking
eonnultatiou it was considered het lo

silver representatives rather than risk
nn open o lie use t. them and per-
haps put the president under the
painful necessity of vetoing a fro -coinage
measure. As .Senator Sherma?l
says "it i said there was no d.ittgcr of
free coinage that the president would
have vetoed it. We had no rifht to
throw the rospon-dbilil y upon l-iiu."
Hence to retain the Votes and i'llluenee
of the silver states the republicans de-
cided to "compromise" h agreeing ti
purchase the silver product of these
Mates. This was nil the silver miiic
i" owners could have asked for. They
would have Wen no better ofi if the
Fiuted States had undertaken to coin
the silver of the whole world. Indeed

The manufacturers forgot or ignore
the facts that the committees of the

not Jnreauso of. the moneyed interests

represent the consumers of the coun-
try and can perform .faithful service
only by levying duties which shall
bear as lightly as possible on the whole
people: that statistics of wages anil
cost of production showing how neces-
sary protective duties arc to certain in-
dustries are of no use to committees
engaged in solving the problem of how
to raise a sufiie.ent revenue: and that
it is the duty of the present congress
not to waste time listening to persons !
who represent themselves or some pnv-
ileged class and do not speak in the
interests of the consumers wh.tinclu.le
all classes.
The fact is that considering the con-
ditions imposed upon the present con-
gress it would lc an insult to this
body for selfish interests to appear bo-
fore it to ask for special legislation of
any kind. Thev would not expect to

J origin they tell you this story:
I Here lormcrlv live.l Hi that count rr

; rt young man named Selim who was
hopelessly given to procrnstitlntioit;.
lie liad received from his father u
property but. being t'H. easy-
going and indolent to make any move
ilervish did so. and iiuieklv devoured
all that was loft upon ihe table.
When he rose to go he seemed
to wish io repay in mie sort
his host's kindness and asked iii panto-
mime that writing materials uiight le

there were neither poll. Ink nor -pa poi

thing with his stick in the sand bo for

"GihhI." said tin1 yotui; iirin: "I will
come later and toad what tholi hast
written."
Thereupon tho dervish departed. Jul
Selint sal in hi hut too lazy to stir
frotn his chair. "The sun is hot iio"
he said to himself; "when it is cooler I
will go oul." Tho day Waned and night
fell. "I could not read the writiiif
now for Ihe darkness." refieetcd Selim:
"1 will wail until mornicg." Put dur-
iug the night a earnvait passed by ihe
house and every t race of tho writing
was ohiin-raiod

him as jkvu- as over. After they hml
eaten h made a sign for the. voting
man to accompany him. Solon won I a
short distance and then lazily fell be-
hind. Tho dervish came to lite Itorder
of the desert and nusti!g. wrote sum
words in the sand with his stud Thou
pointing lo thi-m significantly he wet-
his way. Sidim unb-rstol. but the

until not so ntileh as a single letter re-
mained. Tho iio-l yeiir the dervish otn-e more
presented himself at Selim's hut ami
seemed more than ever surptued at
finding him -I ill miserably jtooo. This
time when he wont away ho Wwtk the

in the shade of a great rock. The dr-
vish meanwhile wrote 11 sentence in

to it went away. It was a little to
far from him to bo road easily so the
young man said: "There is no hurry: I
will go and look a t it presently." lint
liefore ho know it he was sound a-'leep.
anil by and by tho tide canto up ami
washed the writing wholly away.
Yet another year passed and for the
fourth time the dervish knocked at t In-
door of Selim's wretched hut. When
ho entered and saw the yott tig man in
his nigs he held up his hands with as-
tonishment. "Truly Allah is great!" he --

wind and in the third it was taken by
the waves. Tell it mo now by word f

"Ah!" s; ill the dervish gravely. "I

And nQW a.s to the fates of pay: The
