Not long since 1 stood beside -an open
grave that was soon to contain all that
was mortal of one whom I had known
but slightly. Around were gathered
relatives and a few friends to pay the
last sad tribute of love and affection to
him whom they should see no more with
human eyes forever. The service for
the dead was read, the minister offered
such consolation as words can give, Oh !
eo inadequate! The coflin was lowered
into the box, the boards placed over it,
and then came the saddest of all sounds,
the earth falling upon the hollow-sounding
planks dull, muflled, dead. I heard
the mother's sob3 as this, her first born,
pride of her young womanhood, prop of
her old age, was covered from her sight
forevermore. I saw the tears roll slow
ly, one by one, down the father's fur
rowed cheek, and felt my eyes grow
moist in sympathy. The mound was
heaped, the mourners gone before I left,
and then I wandered back into the
pines, thinking of the vicissitudes of
life, the mystery of death. Behind me
was the dead the young man cut down
ere yet the petals of hi9 life had bloomed
into the fulll flower. Around were evi
dences of dawning and vigorous life
buttercups and spring beauties, and here
and there a bunch of wild violets that
caught their tint from heaven's blue
vault above them. Yet they, too, in a
lew short days, no longer delighting the
eye, would lie withered, dead and for
gotten. Idly I plucked a handful of them, ad
miring their fresh lovliuess, their deli
cate color and graceful little cups, lie
turning, my footsteps again sought the
tide of that new-made grave. Home
little children were in the cemetery, the
tracks of their little shoes showing that
they had, with childish curiosity, wan
dered around this fresh mound that
marked another, gone. Their voices
sounded sweet and far away, for grief
and loss had not yet come to them.
Turning again to the grave, I noted four
little bunches of wild flowers, raggedly
put together, lying unon the grave, and,
looking more closely, I could see the
marks of four pairs of tiny feet, the toes
showing where each in turn had stood
beside the newly-turned earth and
placed thereon these simple wild flowers
I could see in fancy each little tot, sober
of face and solemn-eyed, placing those
little tokens, 'twas all they had, above
one whom they did not even know, and
1 marveled much what spirit moved
them; what simple faitti stirred in their
hearts that made them feel that he who
slept below might profit by them. Sure
ly never was simpler tribute given by
more innocent hearts. 1 kissed the lit
tle posies in my hand and reverently
laid them by the others, making tho
bunches five. Their acts came from
their hearts; mine, perhaps, from senti
ment, and yet I felt it was no sacrilege
to add my tribute unto their's. For
them life has scarco yet begun to unfold
Its buds; for me the flower has reached
its fulness, and one by one the petals
ehall drop away. And yet, while nearer
the grave than thoy, how infinitely far
ther am I from God,
Life, it is said, is what we make it.
That may, or may not, be so. We know
that it Iub two extremes, and therefore
should have means. At least tho fellow
who expects to enjoy himself whilo he
waits for thu old man with the McCor
mick reaper, should have them. It is a
Btrange proposition this thing of living,
Tor most, the time is too short; yet
there are those who find it too long, and,
-with impatient hands, snatch the dis
taff from Glotho, the thread from Laclio
pis, and jump Atropo3' job, They take
the short cut over tho back fence, any
way to get out of this corral, whether
there is grass elsewhere or not. Gener
ally the fellow who wants to dio most
has the least cause, for nine times out of
ten it is either whiskey or woman that
moves him to rashness, and heaven
knows both are abundant. Fancy a
callow youth of !20, who never talked to
live hundred girls in all those sin-u'iitted
years, cutting a slit in his wazmd and
letting his soul leak out, hec.iuse for
sooth one of them does not go jelly-quivering
over him ; because one out of
something more than two billions does
not want him. Tho egotism of the
wretch is simply appalling. We would
not for a moment even insinuate aught
against the propriety, nay! the neces
sity, of loving; that is Nature's law.
But every man ought to give his heart
a chance, ior few of them there be but
that will recover from the apparently
fatal blow. In fact, wu have known
cases where fellows got the divinity they
wanted and then inside of two years got
mashed on the hired girl and got it
bad.
1, once in my younger days, when I
didn't know any better, purchased a
line pair of buckskin breeches, just be-'
fore starting from Elko to White Pino
as chief engineer of an eighteen-umle
freight team. I thought they would he
a line thing ior the trip, and they cer
tainly were for a while. The fifth day
out, while going across the big alkali
fiat between Jacob's Wells and the Dutch
Boys' Station, it began to rain. 31 y
pants legs each soon became longer than
there was really any need of, and I took
a roll in the bottoms of them to keep
them from under my feet. In a few
minutes I took another, and then an
other, and so on until I reached the
station. After getting my mules taken
care of and a good supper stowed away
where it would do the most good, I sat
down by the big open fire place, lit my
pipe and proceeded to enjoy the genial
heat. My esteemed buckskin bloomers
began to get ashamed of thomselves, and
tried to resume their former proportions.
I felt the bottoms crawling up over my
boot-tops, and let out a roll; then I let
out another, and still another, until
there were no more to unroll, and then
they only came to my knees and the
legs were as hard as two joints of stove
pipe. Its just that way with life. Its
short enough at the end if you will only
give it a chance to get its work in ou
you.
That reminds me of a funny thing that
happened at Smoky Hill, near Austin,
it being a verbatim account rendered by
George Eggleston, a teamster, of how
Dutch Pete's near leader got in the sad
dle and Dutch Pete got in the lead.
But, I forgot, this article started out
with a funeral, and that this is no proper
time for me to indulge in hilarity. I'm
built that way, and could stand it, but
I fear it would shock you. So, having
gotten Dutch Pete and the near leader
to change places, they can remain in that
posithn until Eome other time, unless
you, dear reader, get them out to suit
yourself. Them isn't room in this issue
to do it.
If asked the question "Have you got a
stomach?" it would be safe on general
principles, to answer "Yes." But, if
you are sure of it, that is, if you ever
feel any distress after eating or any
pains of whatever description in the
region of the stomach, you have got
something else besides an ordinary
stomach ; in other words you have got a
diseased stomach. Tho stomach is a
powerful muscle, and the proper remedy
for a tired muscle is rest. Try tho Shak
tr Digestive Cordial, for this product
not only contains digested food, which
will nourish the system without any
work on the part of the diseased organs,
but it aids the digestion ot other foods
as well. You can test its value in your
case for the trifling sum of 10 cents.

Tim Saw Tomato.
The new tomato is a half or entirely
frozen salad. When it is entirely
frozen it !- cooked and sweetened, first,
much as if for it - old-time spher" in a
vegetable, but there is no butter put
into it, and no pepper, only the merest
onsh of salt and the usual quantity
of Mirjar. Then it is froz-n in tin
freezer, like, any ice, packed in u mold
and hardened in ice and salt, and served
withmnyoniMiise. This is the usual way,
bill I have a little thing of my own
that 1 fancy to be. even nicer J may be
decMvcd by vanity and it is respect
fully submitted. Take half a dozen
ripe, firm tomatoes, peel, pour over
them a sirup of one pint of sugar and
one cup of water, brought to boiling-, no
more. Drain and cool. 1'aek in freezer
in layers, with rounds of white paper
between the layers. Let. them stay
about an hour. Bemove carefully and
serve on a bed of lettuce and nastur
tiums, with mayonnaise. Boston

Bagged, dirty and besotted, lie lay in

glanced furtively up and down the
street, ready to lice if a blueeoat hove

ently two young men came along chat
ting and laughing, lie rubbed his
hands and walked out of his lair. Just
an the young men reached him one of
them broke out in a loud guffaw. The
crucial moment had arrived.
" 'Sense me, would you oblige me with
the price of a bed?" he asked, in a trem
ulous tone.
The guffaw of the young man sudden
ly ceased and his expression became
cold and contemptuous.
"I've nothing for you," said he, ab
ruptly, as he increased his pace.
"That';; the way," said the besotted
highwayman. "S'ou eorne along with
yer face broke up intosmiles, and when
a poor, half-starved bloke gives yer a

lie followed ontis he murmured this,
and the young man was touched in
pocket as well as heart, for his-countenance,
relaxed and he stoked the besot

when in a badly ventilated room, wr.uld
be a srord subject for study by the bt-lles
of boeletv or the stage, who r.-ceive a ,
many rlmilar tributes to their ehanns.
Dr. Foylcr, of this city, wlr. was
asked his opinion on the subject, said
that many eases of dangerous illness
and even 'death from such causes were
well known and authenticated.
"The plants, especially flowering
ones," Dr. Fowler said, "during 1 he day
are not harmful, because thoy are
bieathing in just, the part of the air
which our lungs throw off; but at night
the process is leversed, and they throw
off the carbonic acid gas, which is a
poison to our lurjga. This causes weak
ness of the heart, fainincss and hys
teria with some people, and even death.
"A case is known, which linpi"eue:i

of the Iles.-.es, where the. friends of a
bride and groom, in their desire to
start them on their career on a rosy
pathway, adorned their room with
quantities of flowers. It was in cold
weather, and the windows were closed,
leaving the air heavy with perfumes.
The happy couple retired to their rose
decked room, and were found in the
morning dead, heart failure having re
sulted from the poisonous perfume.
"There is poison in the perfume of
many flowers, not in violets more than
any others, but it is in such small
quantities as to he harmless unless
massed and confined. Prussie ac'd is
found in a mild degree in most per
fumes, and it is used by many per
fumers, in fact, to intensify odors.
lOther well-known mcd'.cal poisons
come from flowers. It is never snf to
have any growing or cut llowers in a
brdroom at night, for you ear.wit tell
