CM IN A LITTLE WHILE. In a little while, when I shall lie With my face upturned to the bending sky.

And the cherished hopes that were drowned In tears. . . . In a Httlo while, when the grass shall wave 'It's plumy length o'er my lonely grave; When the sun shall rise, and the snn shall set, And none will murmur a fond regret Then I shall not hear the wild birds' song. Nor heed the hum of the busy throng Who pass me by as I lie at rest. With tired hands folded over my breast. 'In a little while, when life is done. And 1 Btand before the great white throne. Whose radiance blinds my poor, weak sight As darkness yields to the morning light Will rest come then to heuxt and brain. And ease quick follow on haunting pain Shall I know at last in my quiet bed Best only comes to the shadowy dead? I ahall not heed when the coffin lid Is closed, and the form within Is hid From the careless gaze of the careless crowd. Who idly chatter in accents loud.

A IManolHt " Who Old Not Use Scores. It. is well known that American actors are exceedingly fond of New York, while they like other places in varying degrees, down to the "one night stands,' which they do not like at all. The reasons are obvious, but a new illustration may be found in an incident of Miss Rose Cogh lan's tonr of some of the small towns of Pennsylvania. In "Peg Woffington" Miss Ooghlan introduces a minuet, and she .has an orchestral score specially prepared for it It is the custom when the compUny is traveling to send this ahead, so that the orchestra of the theater can rehearse it. In a certain one night, stand the ad vance agent approached the manager on this subject and asked if jthe orchestra could be called together:. "Well, the fact is,;feplied; the man ager, "we haven't got an orchestra." "No orchestra!" "No, only a pianoist."' What was more, the manager did not think that an orchestra could be had in 'the town. The advance agent telegraphed back to the town where the company was for instructions. After much ponsulta tion it was decided that a piano score must be made from the already existing orchestra score. The leader of the or chestra of the-- theater agreed to try his best to make this new score. It was a large labor for him, as he was not used to such work, and he staid at the the ater for two hours after the performance to do it. Then it was sent forward in triumph to the "pianoist," and the crown ing calamity was discovered the "piano las was blind. In the end a violinist was found who made some attempt at playing the music, xi i . , uiu i, no auvance agent Degan a more thorough system of investigation into the resources of the theater visited. New York Tribune. The Temple of the Revolution. Not every one will understand what is meant by the locating of the site of the Temple of the Revolution at Newburg on the Hudson. When the American army was cantoned near Newburg in 1783 there was deep discontent among ootn omcers ana men because they could not get tneir pay. On March 11. 1783. a circular was secretly distributed in or der to bring about a somewhat seditious meeting at what was called a temple, a little log building newly erected there. General Gates was thought to be at the bottom of the movement, by which it was intended that the army should arouse the fears of congress and the peo ple ana thus get better treatment. The meeting was fully attended, and Wash ington made an address so patriotic and firm in behalf of patience and loyalty that the result was a series of resolutions promising all that Washington had counseled.

"I have had that' bed for a year, and 1 must say that during that time its conduct has been such ax to allay the suspicion with which I regarded it.

He i lowered the bed so the top cleared the ceil ing and the bottom struck on the next stair. Then we lifted the bottom to clear the stairs and the top got tangled in the plastering. Podley thought I might lift the bottom real quick, while he held down on the top and got it by that way. Finally, after we'd lifted and twisted and perspired enough the combination came right and we got it by the jog. . "It was easy enough then until we got it to the top of the stairs, where the banisters turn. Of course it was too broad to turn there. . "Podley rested his end on the ton sten and leaned, over the banisters and en couraged me while the bed slowly tore the flesh from the palms of my hands and crunched my sbin bones. Podley fanned himself and got facetious. Just at the last ffasp the landlady's husband came in. He Hew to my relief. We lifted the bed clear over the banisters and set it down in the narrow hall. But we could neither turn it so as to get it through the bedroom door nor get it back on the stairs again.
