Not merely what we are, But what we were and what we are to bo, Make up our life the far days each a star, The near days nebulfe. At once would love forget Its keen pursuits and coy delays of bliss, And its delicious pangs of fond regret, Were there no day but this. And who, to win a friend, Would to the secrets of his heart invite A fellowship that should begin and end Between a night and night? Who, too. would pause to prate Of insult, or remember Blight or scorn, Who would this night lie down to sleep with hate, Were there to be no morn? Who would take heed to wrong. To misery's complaint or pity's call, The long wail of the weak against the strong , If this one day were all? And what were wealth with shame, The vanity of office, pride of caste, The why sparkle of the babble fame, If this day were the last 7 Ay, what were all days worth, Were there no looking backward or before If every human life that drops to earth W ere lost for evermore? But each day is a link Of days that pass and never pass away ; ror memory and hope to live, to think bach is our only day. Coates Kinney, in Harper's Magazine. A STORY OF LONG AGO. -)o(- BY M. CARRIE HYDE. It was an old moss-grown jail. Monsieur Gunveau had been a prison er there for so many years that it had been nlmost fnrrrnt.fcpn whv hp vena there, or indeed, tbatjia wn there jlamusement at Henri's confusion all. He was, in short, that saddest .r ii ; ; e j.. I oi an prisoners a prisoner toroiLeu save by a warden and attendant, who brought him his meals and swept out his lonely cell. " Henri," he said to this attendant one day, " bring me an egg, uncooked and fresh-laid." " Yes, Monsieur, I will," answered Henri, touching his forehead in a sort of military salute as he scanned the prisoner's pallid face in search of a reason for this unusual request; that is, Monsieur, if it isn't going agrainst the rules." The prisoner groaned. "A fresh, uncooked egg, what harm can that be?" "I don't know, Monsieur, I will see," Henri answered with as respeft- lul dullness as if his old heart were not beating with friendly warmth for this poor prisoner, and as if he and his daughter Marie did not pray every night and morning that Monsieur might be set free. The next morning Marie put the egg on the tray, in a nest of fresh lettuce-leaves, which Henri carried the prisoner. "It is just from the nest of Marie's gray hen, and " He hesitated. "What is it, Henri?" asked the prisoner, closing his thin, white hand over the egg. " I didn't tell the warden, Monsieur, that j'ou had asked for it; what can it matter, a fresh egg like that? " Torpid Liver. Symptoms.

"No; what can it matter?" the prisoner repeated mechanically, sip ping his black coffee and munching his drv bread. As soon as Henri had gone the pris oner balanced the egg on the palm of his Hand anti looked atittriumphant- ly ; next he took it between his thumb and hnger and shook it gently to as sure nimseii tnat it was as iresn as Henri had said; then drawing out some cotton from the corner of the old comfort upon the bed he wrapped it loosely about the egg and placed it under the pit of his right arm, ingeni ously fastening his sleeve so that the egg must stay in place. iy giving his lull attention to the experiment and always keeping the egg at an even temperature he was rewarded at the end of three weeks by having a gray chicken break its way from the shell, its breast and neck a pale yellow. The excitement caused by the success of his venture sent a color to his cheek and a light to his eye that Henri had not seen there since the prisoner hadgivenupstudy- lng the spiders and flies in his cell. "A May morning like this puts new life into everyone even a poor pris oner," he whispered in explanation to himself, for a little chicken, brooded by the old comfort, had not yet told its existence by a single chirp. The nextday it was eatingcrumbs greedi ly, running about the cell, pecking at dirt-hlled chinks in the brick-laid floor, and chirping in answer to its master s call. Henri, coming in with the prisoners tray, nearly dropped it in his surprise at the sight of the chicken. "What is it, Monsieur?" he asked like one dumfounded. "The fresh etrg Marie sent me," and the prisoner's eye glinted with "Aye, bo it Is: bo it is, nnm it of 111 Tn ViKlniT h ia hin 1 " nnil nn li Hniri, still rubbing his head, "and no harm. either. It is as like the old hen as twins and shall have a fine picking of corn from our grain-box when it is larger." A month went by and the chicken was growing finely. It had shingled its wings with mouse-grey feathers, had begun to set a yellow top-not upon its head, and had almost scratched grooves into the bricks in its search for more gravel. "Her dantiness would be glad of a spadeful of earth from your garden, Henri," said Monsieur Gonyeau one day. "A spadeful. Monsieur 1 she shall have a box full of the wormiest there, and no harm done," responded Henri as he tossed a handful of green grass upon the floor for the chicken to pick at; then locking the cell door, he went down, down, the double flight of stairs and round the corner of the jail to his lodge. "Marie," he called, "have you a box I can fill with earth for Monsieur's chicken?" At the word chicken he lowered his voice. The warden need not yet know of the chicken. Marie soon brought a box, and with bright eyes watched her father dig the earth to fill it. Now hisspade struck something hard, buried in the ground a foot below the surface. She sprang forward with a little shriek and drew a big, runty key from the hole he had made. "See, see, mon pere," she said, sinking her soft voice to a whisper, " perhaps it is the one lost long ago that fitted Monsieur's door! Hide it in the earth in the box, as if it were there by accident. Yoila! the chick en scratches, scratches, t he key comes to the surface; an idea strikes Mon sieur; he will try the key in his door; it twists, it turns, behold the door is unlocked and Monsieur is and she stopped to glance back over her shoulder, then moving nearer, with her lips close to her father's ear, cries softly, very softly, "Monsieur is free." "Marie, my daughter," said Henri, drawing away, "you are too quick; let me think, and he took the key into his own hands. "No, Marie, it is not the key, but it is not so bad,'' and he turned it over and over on his rough palm, "a little filing, perhaps, and scraping off of the rust will do much. We will plant it as you say; " and, putting a few spadefuls of ground into the box, he laid the key in and sandwiched it from sight with another layer of earth. " Now," he said gruffly, "the box is well enough filled." and with his peas ant strength, he swung it to his shoulder. Marie's lips were drawn with anxiety, till listening, she heard him carrying it safely into Monsieur's cell. Four, five, six days went by. Every time that Henri turned the key in the prisoner's cell a chill went over him, for he would have to tell Marie that Monsieur, the prisoner, was still there. "Monsieur Gonyeau," he ventured the sixth day, "does the little hen like well her box of gravel?" "She likes it greatly. Thanks to you, Henri," answered the prisoner. "See now how she is at it. If it were water, we would be spattered from head to foot.', "That is well," said Henri, going nearer the box. "I thought she would come to it before this." "To the sand, my good man? Ah 1 Yes," said the prisoner, not under standing. Henri dared not say more. Trem bling as he was, hecaughtupthetrny and hastened out, coughing to hide his agitation. After he had gone, Monsieur also approached the box. The little hen, scratching vigorously to waylay a worm which had just wriggled out of sight, had at last uncovered the key. In a moment he had clutched it to- his breast, swaying like .a wisp of grain in his sudden rush of feeling. Already he saw himself free across the border and in his long-forsaken home. Perhaps his mother still lived. and this was the season for the hedge to be a-bloom ! The picture was too instantaneous and realistic; he swooned and fell to the floor, only to be Drought to by the tingling bits of gravel which the little hen, 6tiII scratching for the evasive worm, cast on his face, his hands, his chest. Once aroused and his senses collect ed he set himself to cleansing the key. v ith a bit ot stone from the box he rubbed and scraped off the rust and filed upon the lip' till it turned as smoothly in the mammoth lock as turns a well greased waffle iron. That night at twelve the' prisoner laid his last coin on the table in his cell, with a pat ting note to Henri and his daughter Mane. It was charac teristic. ''Thanks to you, good friends," he wrote, "lou have aided the little hen to hatch my freedom. I break my shell at twelve this night. Take good care of the little hen, Marie, and if I am favored I shall some time return for her. He did not sign it. There was still a chance that all might not go well. 1 he note accomplished, on tiptoe he approached his cell door. With trembling fingers he turned the key, pushed the door. ajar, and waved a farewell to the little hen, perched asleep, on the back of a chair. Clos ing the door noiselessly as a fan-wave he felt his way, step by step, down the doudle-flight of stairs, till he was opposite the warden's door. All was quiet there. He reached up and drew a long, broad bolt that held the smaller outside door fast and firm. It creaked. Above him came the echo of a footstep. It was the guard pacing the upper corridor. 1'oor prisoner I He drew harder up on the bolt. It might creak now. The steps came nearer. He pulled quickly upon the bolt, a long smooth stroke. It did not creak, and the footsteps had turned in another di rection. The door was open. ISut yesterday Henri had greased the hinges. "The rust must take a little oil with its iron," be said to Marie, "through the bolts, they creak any way." So the door swung aside and the prisoner was out in the still light ed night. A cock crew in Marie's poultry-yard. It gave him the im petus lie needed, and he rushed from the prison yard. 1 he next morning Henri s fa-e shone and his step was elastic as he carried back to Marie the tray of un tasted food. He has gone, mon pere?" she asked. "He has gone, ma Marie, but the little hen is in the cell waiting for you." 'And is that all?" She asked soberly. iNo ; and he put the coin and note into her hand. Kate Field's Wash ington. Rulers of Norway. When Danish kings were absolute rulers of Norwav and the Duchies and made all ships passing through the sound pay them toll, Copenhagen was an important city, says London Truth. It has many vestiges of by gone greatness, and is still hand some, comfortable, quietly progress ive, ana may bear comparison with an elderly beauty who is well pre- served and in comfortable circum stances. One finds not a few na laces of noblemen, who copied in building mem ine guueu palaces ot the kings of France, turned from their original purposes to business uses. The Ho tel d Angleterre is an example. It is an abridgement of Versailles. Its restaurant is a galerie des glaces. I trembled for my pocket on being shown into it with not less ceremony than if I were one of the many exalt ed personages who come every sum mer to Copenhagen, but found that 1 had no reason to dread an exorbitant bill, though this hotel is not a verv cheap one. One could not wish to find, however, a better appointed house. The manners of the servants are peculiar. Since Copenhagen has become a rendezvous des souveraitis, the whole staff at the Hotel d' Angle terre have nicked un the demeanor of courtiers'of the better sort. They so bear themselves that a guest of small account might be excused were he to fancy himself an illustrious personage. For the first time I came there under the good rule adopted in most of the large Scandinavian hotels of having the restaurant department separate from every other, and fixea prices for the dishes, and cash down. At Stockholm this is improved on by the hotel bill lieing nightly sent to one 8 room. I he guest is thus en abled to check it at leisure, and should he detect an overcharge, have it out with the manager at once. Ancedote of Garrison. When William Lloyd Garrison be gan, at the age ot 0, to publish the free I'ress he had, ot course, the usu al amount of bad and ifTJifTerent poatry to read. All the local poetas ters who thought they could make verse and would have been far more worthily employed in making shoes. deluged him with their halting con tributions. Rut one day the paper's' drag-net brought up a pearl. Thus, Mr. Oarnson tells the story: "Going upstairs to my otiiee, I ol- served a letter lying near the door. I opened it and found it contained an original piece of poetry for the Free Press. 'The ink was very pale, the hand writing very small and, having at that time a horror of original news paper poetry, my first impulse was to tear it without reading it, since the chances of rejection were as 5)1) to 1. Summoning up my resolution, however, Ipersueditand was so grati fied with it that I gave it a place in my journal. "As I was anxious to find out the writer, my post-rider one day di vulged the secret , saying thathehiul brought the letter, and that it was written by a Quaker lad named Whit tier, who was daily at work with hammer and lapstone on the shoe maker's bench at East Haverhill. "I lost no time in driving to see the youthful bard, who came into the room with shrinking diffidence, blushing like a maiden and almost unnble to speak. I gave him some words of encouragement, but ad dressed myself particularly to his parents, urging them to grant him every poHniblo facility for the develop ment of his remarkable genius. "This was the beginning of a life long friendship, founded on similarity of purpose and principles.." Youth's Companion. A Test of Speed. The Philadelphia Record says that "a trial ot speed between English and American locomotives, which will set at rest the conflicting claims oi superiority made hv both coun r . . ... . . tries, will be un interesting and novel t i II' IV 1 M icuiure oi me worlds t uir. The scheme has been broached to both the Pennsylvania and New York Cen tral companies, but no definite uc tion has yet been taken by either. It is not known which of the two gre-xt roads will undertake the contest. The plan is to bring over an English locomotive of the latest pattern, which will burn English coal, with a crew who will speak with an English accent. The run will bo made from New York to Chicago and return, either with a heavy or light train, or possibly both. The run west may Ih. made with a heavy train and the re turn with a lighter one. The Ameri can engine will curry the same weight and go by the same route, and the palm will be awarded to the ono making the run in the shortest time. The English locomotives are built for use upon tracks without such heavy grades and sharp curves as are constructed in the United States, and they are not supplied with a sys tem of springs bucIi as are used unon American engines. A fair test of the merits of the two machines could le made upon the New York Central Railroad, the route of which to Chi cago avoids the mountains, so attrac tive to every through passenger un on the Pennsylvania and Baltimore Ohio Railroads." A Puzzled Dutchman. A Wisconsin paper contains the following good story : - 1 . .... wne wno uoes not believe in immersion for baptism was holding a protracted meeting, and one night preacned on the subject of baptism. In the course of his remarks, he said that some believe it necessary to go down into the water, and come up out of it to be baptized. Rut this he claimed to be fallacy, for the prep osition - into - 01 uie BcnptureB should be rendered differently, as it does not mean at all times. "Moses' he said, "we are told, went up into the mountain, and the Saviour was taken into a high mountain, etc Now, we do not suppose either went into a mountain, but unto it.

Quite a number of his brethren arose and said they were glad they had been present on this occasion, that they were well pleased with the sound ser mon they had just heard, and felt their souls greatly blessed. Finally, a corpulent gentleman of Teutonic extraction, a stranger to all, arose and broke t he silence that was al must I'ltinful. jvh followM: "Mr. llrencher, I is so glad I vash here to-night, lor 1 has had explained to my mine some tnngs uat i never could pelief pefore.

Henry George The Democratic party, except in the person of imbeciles not worth mentioning, is a free trade party. Henry Wntterson. I will never help to make a law which stands In the wayof free trade. Roger 11 Mills. I am a free trader. The Mills bill is a step in that direction. Congress man Rreckiuridge. The Democratic party la n free trade party or it is nothing. Henry Watterson. Mr. Cleveland, by his message, for which I honor him. has challenged the protected industries of the coun try to a fight of extermination. Senator Vest (Dem.) Missouri. If Grover Cleveland is re-elected President of the United States we will pass a tariff bill that puts raw material all on the free list, and the we will put ou-own intelligent ami skilled and productive labor in this country upon a plane of equality with the laborers ot all other coun tries. Roger (2. Mills' speech at East St. Louis, 111., Sept. 2j. Ib88. The conflict between free trade and protection is irrepressible and must be fought out to the bitter end. We spit upon compromises, and propose neither to ask nor give quarter. Henry Watterson. Reaping th Whirlwind. It would be very easy for the Re f ublicans to turn the tables upon the )emocratic party for its shameless efforts to drag the Homestead troub les into politics, by simply referring to the disturbances in Tennessee and their causes. The corporation has the contract with the state for the labor of 400 convicts in the Ten nessee coal, iron and railroad com pany, which has been carrying on operations at Tracy City, about 100 miles from Nashville. Of this com pany, Hon. Calvin S. Brico, ex-chairman of the Democratic national com mittee and rainbow chaser in general is a heavy stockholder. Of course, Mr. Brice is a halcyon and vociferous champion of labor at party conven tions, but his company has exhibited little regard for the rights of free la bor or little mercy for the poor con victs who are forced into its employ ment. The latter are housed in a mi.iernlile f orlcn) r lnJ, trfiTc they are t routed like slaves anduiiido to work from twe've to sixteen hours a day. Free labor is alwo employed in the same mins, and the effect is degrading anJ insulting. And in consequence of thelong hours exacted from the convicts the honest miners have been compelled to work on half time with corresponding reduction of pay. lhe law under which these convicts are thus employed is a Democratic law enacted by a Democratic state legislature. Oppressive as it is, the miners had no relief from it except through violence, for they hod no political pull and not enough rotes to reverse the legislative majority. Hence they have resorted to measures that in some respects are unjustifia bly harsh. I hey were justified in burning down the miserable stockade and returning the convicts to the penitentiary, but it does not seem to have been necessary to overpower the state troops and make them prisoners, to destroy life, or to threat en the Governor with lynching. But the state or corporation that deals with its citizens as though they were brutes should not be surprised if such treatment aroused the brute in men's natures and made them cruel and un feeling also. Even a state cannot impudently sow the wind, for in due time the reaping of the whirlwind is inevitable. The men at Homestead whose wrongs have drawn an ocean of tears from Democratic eyes are free men, working at wages of from $2 to f 15 a day, living in luxurious homes of their own, with handsome deposits in the bank. Calvin 8. Brice, the leader of the Democratic party and the bosom friend of uroverllevelnnd, prefers the labor of prison convicts which he hires from the Democratic state of Tennessee at from ten to twenty-five cents a day, exacting al most two lull days work every twen ty-four hours, and shuttiug out free labor or reducing it to half-time be cause it could not accept an equal Erice. It was another Free Trade )emocratic employer of labor, an other bosom friend of Grove Cleve land, who announced the discovery, made by himself, that .the way to prevent "strikes was to make the workmen eat up to day what they earn to-morrow. Democratic love for the workingman takes on a very queer look when illustrated by actual facts. Troy Times. Senator Red field Troctor told a New York reporter Wednesday that Ver mont would show the usual record. " What do you think of the chances of Harrison and Reid throughout the country?" was nuked. ' 1 have hope and faith in the suc cess of our party," replied the scn- utor. "The States that are Kepub lican will continue so. There Is no doubt about northern and northeast ern New England. As to the talk about our loHing any of the Western States. I think it is idle; those that are in the Republican column will re main there. I U'lieve the people gen erally are satisfied with the protec tive tariff policy, and on that issuo we will win. It is not always easy to speak charitably of the fellow ono does not like, but. it is the only sure road to nrosneritv.
