In the heaven of the blest. Yet she's weary! Many a day Has she marched with life's gay throng Those she loved hare dropped away—

Wearied of on righted wrongs Frightened bj the world's dark frown Life's last act is done she longs

For the curtain to go down. -wr.T"-"4? Slowly with each peaceful breath Days and years crept toward their mm, Yet she n- ?er asks for death

A REDEEMING ACT.

Dave was a coward, and he had "always borne the reputation of arrant eowardice ever since he had crawled over the side of his dugout cradle to wallow along with the underfoot world on the white sand before his parents' oabin door. Though country born and bred, a passing thunderstorm struck him with terror, and the sight of the blaok waters of the "crick" caused a remarkable agitation of his knees. He was a coward pure and simple. The bristling of coon routed him unconditionally, and a determined possum could rob the henroost before his very face. Indeed, Dave was a coward, and his cousin, Sue Spivey, laughed uproariously when the poor fellow perpetrated his initial and only act #f boasting. He bad said to her one day very solemnly and no doubt sincerely: "Toe pur tec yo' honah an happiness I 'ud th'ow away my wuthless life."

Ordinarily Dave's speech was unpolished and provincial, but on this occasion it rose to the dignity of what he felt the occasion demanded.

Sue knew full well his timorous disposition and would have thought it safe to count ou his poltroonery in any event. But a day was sadly near which proved to her the full worth of the poor fellow's grandiloquent assertion.

Long before the late unpleasantness and until this day Honoypath was only a siding, where occasional trains took water and passed each other, Two or three log shanties, without special pretensions to any architectural dissimilarity, marked the site of tho town, distinguishing it from the vast area of impenetrable swamp that bnofced it and the arid waste of sandy bottom through which the glistening, polished rails of the grand trank line writhed and sinuated. Along that glowing metal highway troops of both armies passed and repassed, gazed at curiously by the few old women und senile males loft in the village, but exciting 110 other emotion than a blank curiosity that died out even before the whito mist of the flno •and stirred by tho soldiers' feet had •ettled behind the retreating bands.

Dave was a native of Honeypath and lived with an nged father in 0110 of the shanties. Sue dwolt with her mother in another near by. Dave's father was a hot blooded southerner, whose patriotism answered to tho first call to arms, but Dave was timid, fearful of tho smell of powder and refrained from notion, preferring to suffer the opprobrious epi-i thets which vere liberally bestowed upon hiiu and the contempt of tho county generally to facing ho know not what horror upon tho battlefield. He was not a philosopher and could not plead in extenuation of his neutrality that tho martial slaughter of his brother man was a crime and that the wholesale sacrifice of human life was immoral.

Dave was limply a coward and accepted meekly the obloquy which tho con Jit.ion imposed, not even the taunts and cutting sarcasm of pretty Sue Spivey being able to rouse the instincts of battle in his crvren soul.

Before the strife ended Sue's mother was gathered to her fiual rest, being put out dt sight in tho little sandy graveyard, with only the comment of the two ramming neighbors. And theu Dave and Sue toiled early and late in order to wring from the starving acres unvaried livelihood of yams, corn bread and bacon, more often tbo oorn bread without tho embellishment of potatoes and bacon, particularly during the weeks after a hungry foraging party had passed that way.

One day Dave was working amon„ the youug potato vines in an open ari-I field behind tho cabin, when Sue nr. out to him in troubled haste. "Oh, Dave, I'm pow'fnl skeeredl" she panted. "Skeered o' what?" he asked, without intermission of the bent labor. 'Some—souie soldiers just went down the road, an they spoke to me—sassy lik&" She hesitated, and Dave looked tip to ace her pretty face scarlet and her brows bent together in angry lines. "Well, what did they all say?" he demanded in his accustomed slow draw) after waiting in vain for her to proceed. "They 'lowed they all was a-comin back.*'

Who was they ennyhow?" he asked uneasily, his face blanching in anticipation of the martial visit "They was Moeby't men, I 'lowed, sua they was five of 'em." "Our fellers?" a little surprised and straightening his back. "Oome on back to the boose, Sue," and, shouldering his hoe, he trudged stolidly on before, "Don't yon be skeered," be continued as they reached the yard. "I reckon they won't do nothin."

Of the two it would have been mani­

the most casual observer that he

was the worst "skeered," bat be walked on till they reached the hoose, and Sue cried out:

taken down a rifle that had belonged to Sue's brother, who had also offered up his life on the altar of the cause, leaving his weapon to his sister as a means of defense in just such emergencies as this. 'What you gwine to do, Dave?" the girl persisted, coming closer and laying her hand on his arm. Dave shook several cartridges into the cylinder of the Winchester and waited in silence, apparently not aware that Sue had touched him. Only a few more moments to wait and then the *last act in the commonplace little tragedy. A lond pounding at the rickety cabin door and a derisive, imperative voice demanded: "Hi, in there, open up, or we'll make splinters of yer ole door." The threat was garnished by several strong expletives and accompanied with more vicious pounding.

Then for answer went the spiteful snap of the Winchester, followed by a surprised howl of pain, more voluble profanity and footsteps in rapid retreat

Dave went to the window, and though a knothole in the shutter reviewed the situation of the enemy. Then though the aperture the rifle again spoke with decisive, leaden emphasis, and when the smoke oleared away the man inside beheld one of the besiegers lying prone across the freshly hoed potato rows, while another limped painfully in the rear of the retreating trio.

In the short silenoe that followed the last shot the arid topography of Honeypath seemed to flash before Dave's vision, each peculiarity standing out strong and clear. The fine, white sand, covered everywhere with fat leaved prickly pear and cactus that bloomed perpetually in big butter colored flowers the bright, blazing sky, the heat that rose up and hung heavily over man and beast, the many inseots that sat out in the fumacelike sun, rattling shrilly with very joy. Then the dense shade of the murky shadowed swamp and the big scaly back scorpions and dainty multicolored lizards that played an eternal game of hide and seek among the rotting rails of the old snake fence.

The trio had disappeared into the swamp, and Dave calmly refilled his rifle, waiting as though lost in thought Presently from the rear of the oabin came tho harsh command: "You cowardly bushwhacker in there, oome out an fight like a man! If ye don't, we'll burn ye an yer shanty an the gal with ye."

There was no opening in the rear of the cabin, the logs were thick and the chinks were well stopped with clay, so that Dave could not return a leaden answer to this brutal ohallent,j. He fingered the rifle nervously and looked at Sue. "Oh, Daf*e, don't open the door," she pleaded, meeting the earnest look bent on her far a from beneath the brim of Dave's frouzy slouch hat, "I ain'tafeered too burn."

His lips blanched, his knees were wobbly with fear, but he had not forgotten the one boast of his poor, pinched life, uttered so long ago. "Toe purteo' yo' honah an happiness I 'ud throw away my wuthless life." He uttered the words a^ain monotonously, fingering the rifle that was held limply in his shaking handa

Poor Suet There was no answering laughter in her soul now for those grotesquely sententious words which broke in husky monotone on her hearing like a last prayor.

In that moment Dave, who had always been a coward, who had all his life long borne meekly the soorn and opprobrium attached to the character, he whom heretofore nothing oould arouso to a sense of his degradation, oalmly arose to the very pinnacle of heroism. "I'm ooming out," he called and shooting back the bolt he stood on the oabin step before them. "Fall bark and give him a show he's coming out boys!" She clung to him, pleading: "Dave, don't! There's four to one. Don't got" But he pushed her gently backward into the room. "Bolt the door behind me!" he said and passed out

Sue stood motionless in the center of the room waiting for it to begin. Dave pulled the trigger of his gun and turned the corner and instantly four weapons barked with one voice.

Sue heard something heavy fall against the side of the oabin then instantly the sharp, clear utterance of a Winchester answered the carbines again and still again. One carbine only answered then all was still only the fretful warbling of a wren in the nearby Cherokee rose hedge breaking the tense silenoe of the drowsy afternoon hush

Anxiety conquering terror, Sue drew back the bolt, throwing the door wide open. A broad stream of yellow light and a rush of heat met her, passing over a figure on its knees that always trembled at the sight of deep water. Dave was gasping his last breath. Bleeding and shattered, he crept to her feet, aft* er the manner of a faithful dog, to die. In the grave gray eyes that were raised to hers there was the light of the exaltation of a passing spirit triumphant over the shadow at death which already darkened them. His lips moved in the contortion of a smile that broke into an articulate murmur. !./« "I done said that toe purtec* yo* honah and happiness I would th'ow away my wuthless life—an I dooe hit"

And Dave, with the crimson glory of bis wuthless life's" blood streaming from many wounds, passed to the judgment reserved for him from the begin-, nmg of all things.

The wren shivered out her fsagmentary song to heaven, the perfume of the Cherokee rwe filled the air of the fading day, and the setting sun, streaming through the cabin door, touched the still figure of Dave, wrapping him in molten splendor as though with the

I face of a dying god.

i** Animal Warfare*

The conditions of the life of the monkeys in Africa are sufficiently curious without reference to their aoquired habits, though these are undoubtedly due to the dangers to which the nature of the country in which they live exposes them. The different species of baboons, which are found commonly over the whole African continent are all by nature dwellers in the open country. They find their food on the ground, and whether this be insects or vegetables it is usually in places which afford little shelter or protection. Though strong and well armed with teeth, they are slow animals, with little of the usual monkey agility when on the ground and not particularly aotive even when climbing among rocks.

In a rocky "kopjes" of the south, or the cliffs and river sides of Abyssinia, and the Nile tributaries, they are safe enough. Dut they often abandon these entirely to invade the low conntry. During the Abyssinian expedition conducted by Lord Napier of Mugdala they regularly camped mntr our cantonments on the coast and stole the grain on which the'cuvalry horses and transport animals were fed. When on expeditions of this kind, they often leave their stronghold for days together, and the means of joint defense from enemies in the open country are then carefully organized. Their natural enemies whej* iiius jp-, posed are the leopard, the lion, and in South Africa the Cape wild dogs. To the attack of the leopard they oppose numbers and discipline.—London Spec-

High Hats and Prices.

"If I do not hnvo the exact change, I have invariably to pay 15 cents for a drink even in a 10 cent saloon," said a man who habitually wears a high hat which never appears to be new. "Yesterday, for example, I offered a quarter in payment for a cocktail for which I had paid 10 cents a few days before, as usual. I got back but a dime. When I mentioned the price of my previous oocktail, the saloon keeper said: 'You asked for the best whisky, didn't you?' "I hadn't, but there was no use in kicking. When I told my grocer, who knows the saloon keeper, of the episode, he said it was because of my high hat that I was overcharged. Although I said the hat was too old to give an impression that its wearer was wealthy, he insisted that he was right 'Either wear a derby, or always carry a dime with you when you go for a drink,' he said. 'It's the high hat that does it' I intend to take his advice as to the dime or patronize a 15 cent saloon. What I object to is paying £6 oents for a 10 cent drink."—New York Sun. jfff- a

Shot Into the Senate:

James Shields was elected to the senate in 1848, defeating his predecessor, Senator Breese. Shields had distinguished himself in the Mexican war and at the battle of Cerro Gordo he was shot through the lungs, the ball passing out at his back. His recovery wr.s one of the marvels of the day. Shield's war record is believed to have secured to him his triumph over Breese. When the news of Shields' election was received, a lawyer named Butterfield was speaking of it to a group at friends, when one of them remarked, 'It was that Mexican bullet that did the business." "Yes," retorted Butterfield, "that was a great shot The ball went clear through Shields without hurting him and killed Breese 1,000 miles away."— San Francisco Argonaut

American Snuff For the Pope.

Pope Leo XIII sneezes just as other mortals do, and he adheres to a custom still practiced in this country by gentlemen of the old school—that of using snuff to tickle his olfactories. It is not generally known that the snuff used by the head of the Roman Catholic church is made in Baltimore especially for his use. This particular snuff goes direct fam prosaic Canton to the sacred precincts of the Vatican. It is the highest prioed snuff made anywhere in the world, and its value is increased several times above the original cost after the customs duty has been paid to the Italian government

The snuff for the prince of Rome is manufactured from the pick of the finest Virginia and Kentucky tobaooo, the Baltimore firm which makes the snuff being careful that every vestige at stem is removed from the tobaooo before it undergoes the process which changes the leaf to a sneeze provoker. Before it is packed the snuff is flavored with the costly attar at rosea

One hundred pounds were first ordered for the Vatican. This was packed in one pound and five pound jars, each jar being placed in' a leather case lined with cardinal satin. The jars were of the same oolor, and each was tied with oardinal ribbon. In honor of Cardinal Gibbons, through whom the Baltimore firm secured its first order, the snuff was called "Cardinal snuff."

A Story of Hirsoh.

One of the late Baron Hirsch's idio eyncrasies, says the London Daily Conner, was somewhat of an embarrassment to the ladies with whom he was acquainted, though some people might not have objected to it

The baron had a fondness for playing cards with the ladies he met at country houses and losing money to them. Not a few sixpences either, but £10, £20, £50 at a sitting.

At first sight there may not seem anything vety embarrassing in this. But the fact is that tho baron would take pains to lose, and, it was a oommon thing for onlookers to say that such and such a lady with whom he was playing bezique, or whatever the game might be, would be richer that evening by £50 or so

Fairly won, no lady would object perhaps. But the baron would carefully stop, or play badly, just so as to leave his opponent the victor, and then what he really enjoyed was pulling out a few bank notes and passing them over.

Not a very vicious taste in a multimillionaire. Still, it is not every lady in society who can take what is practically a present of money without feeling uncomfortable.

The worst of it was that the baron was such a bad hand at deception. Everybody knew his little game.

The Future Ufa,:

I know not by what good fate my thoughts have been always fixed upon things to come more than upon things present These I know by certain experience to be but trifles, and if there be nothing more considerable to come the whole being of man is nothing better than a trifle. But there is room enough before us tin that we call eternity for great and noble scenes, and the mind of man feels itself lessened and straightened in this low and narrow state—wishes and waits to see something greater. And if it could discern another world a-coming, on this side eternal life —a beginning gloiy, the best that earth can bear—it would be a kind of immortality to enjoy that prospect beforehand, to see, when this theater is dissolved, where we shall act next and what parts, what saints and heroes, if I may say so, will appear on that stage and with what luster and excellency. How easy it would be, under a view of these futurities, to despise the little pomps and honors and the momentary pleasures of mortal life I—Lord Baoon. 'A' "f* f.

Certificate* of Death.

Who can tell how many perrons are buried alive every year? How many cases of suspended animation are there on record, and how many horrors that are never known save by accident when once in awhile some grave is opened and discoveries are made that shock whole communities. Thexe ie not up to date, any certain test fur death, although there have been experiments and trials innumerable. After exhausting all of the resources of science, medical experts have arrived at the conclusion that the only certain test of death is the condition of the body. Until there are unmistakable signs of decav, death is by no means a foregone conclusion. The sense of smell is the very best possible guide in such matters. Even the eyes are not to be trusted, as there are oases on record where bodies have become almost black and yet life was not extinct

In one instance burial was delayed by unavoidable circumstances until the friends became alarmed by the oolor which they mistook for mortification, and, fearing some outbreak of disease, they sent for disinfectants and sanitary experts. Before they arrived, however, there was a marked change in the appearance of the body. From a purplish hue like a bad bruise it gradually became lighter and assumed a lifelike oolor, and within a few hours there were evidences of returning animation. Although several physicians had been in attendance and the person was pronounced dead the result proved the unreliability of their decision.—New York Ledger. 'A

Son In the Penitentiary.

"Epigrammatic sentences are interesting, but there is such a thing as being too strongly epigrammatic," said R. F. Barnett of Louisville. "I was going into Louisville from Memphis. On the train was a white haired old lady, with whom chance drew me into conversation. We became quite friendly, and she told me that she was going to visit her son, whom she had not seen for two or three years. He had written a few weeks before, asking her to visit him at Louisville, naming a certain hotel. She arranged her affairs as quickly as possible and went At the station she was greatly disappointed not to meet her son, and I accompanied her to- the hotel. The clerk had not seen him, but gave me a letter for the lady. As soon as she read the first line she fainted, and I hurriedly sent for a physician, picking up the letter. The first paragraph was: 'My Dear Mother—I am now in the penitentiary.' I was shocked, but read further. The next paragraph said: 'I have a good position with the contractors, and it is impassible to get away. Come on to Frankfort I have already rented a house for us to live in.' It took us three hours to bring the mother to consciousness."—Washington Star.

Dr. PoitMV «f Kentucky, Tells How It -5 was Done. (From th» ML Sterling, Ky^ GcuetU.)

In the mountains of Eastern Kentucky lives Dr. C. H. Porter, who for 47 years has ministered to the siok in the counties ot Rowan and Morgan, and has during that time suffered more than many of the patients on whom he called. He was at latt cured, and his core was so startling and miraculous that it was soon the talk of the mountains, ami finally reached the Bioegrass. A reporter of the OmetU concluded to investigate in the interest of suffering humanity, and to his question the dootor replied: "Twenty years ago. while living inMor-

an countv and praoooing my profession, I a terrible nervous shook that completely prostrated me, and from that time until a few- months ago I suffered untold agony, and in fact never knew a well dav. I tried everything in the way of medietas that I knew ana oonsulted other physicians for miles around, but I (bond no relief and I resigned myself to the inevitable and await* sd tae end. A few months ago my sou saw an aooount in your paper of a new medicine sailed Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and wanted on to try it I told him they would do me no good, but after taking a few doses I felt better, and again hope revived ia ray breast. I continued taking the pills, and continued to improve, and now I believe I have finally recovered. That is about all of the story. I believe Pink Pills saved my Hfe, and I never fail to recommend them ia my practice. In fret, I can tell you of a man that vou will pass oa your road home who has keen almost completely cured of rheumatism after years of soflfaring, Mr. S. Q. Bailey, in his name and yon can stop and see hirn."

After thanking Dr. Porter the Gazette man started for Mr. Bailey's residence. He was found on his flurm cutting some trees down. In reply to oar inquiry, Mr. Bailey said:

Yes, Dr. Porter tola you the truth. I suffered for years with rheumatism, and was only able to leave my room in good weather, and then was not able to do any work. I was urged by Dr. Porter to try Pink Pills, for several weeks I positively mused. He finally overcame my prejudices, however, and I am
