. tSUXUGIlT ALL THE WAY.
Harper's "Weekly.
fJood-by, Jennie; the road is long,
And the moor is bard to cross;
But well you know there is danger
In the bogs and marshy moss.
But keep in the foot path, Jennie,
Let nothing tempt you to stray ;
Then you'll get safely over it,
For there's sunlight all the way.
Sunlight all the way;
. So never you fear,
Keep a good heart, dear,
For there's sunlight all the way.
The child went off with a blessing
And a kiss of mother-love;
The daisies were down at her feet,
And the lark was singing above.
On, ou, in the narrow foot-path
Nothing could tempt her to stray;
So the moor was passed at nightfall.
And she'd sunlight all the w ay.
Sunlight all the way;
And sne smiling said,
As her bed was spread,
"I had sunlight all tho way."
And I, who followed the maidon,
Kept thinking as I went,
Over the perilous moor of life
What unwary feet are bent.
If they could keep the foot-path,
' And not in the marshes stray,
Then they would reach the end of life
Kre the night could shroud the day.
They'd have sunlight all the way.
But the marsh is wide,
And they turn aside,
And the night falls on the day.
Far better to keep the narrow path,
Nor turn to the left or right;
For if we loiter at morning,
What shall we do when the night
Falls back on our lonely journey,
And we mourn our vaiu delay !
Then steadily onward, friends, and we
Shall have sunlight all the way.
Sunlight all the way.
Till the journey's o1er,
And we reach the shore
Of a never-ending day.

"God pity me!'
Gladys ilcNulty, usually so proud and
composed and who moved about in the- little
world of those who knew her with the
stately grace of a New York Post editorial,
sank on a fauteuil as she uttered these words
and sobbed as if her shoestrings would break.
In the lindens that lined the entrance to
Brierton Villa the robin redbreasts were trill
ing their merriest lays. And yet, lying there
on the fauteuil, whose velvety surface is not
more soft than her cheek, Gladys McNulty is
sobbing away the hours of this beautiful
June mora in g and ever and anon there
comes from between her white lips a low,
ilesjiairing moan that is pitifid in its sad in
tensity. But finally the convulsive sobs that
are racking her dress waist grow fainter and in
u little while she sits up, the pink suffusion of
a blush telling all too plainly which side she
had been lying on.
And as she sits there gazing listlessly into
the middle of next week, her mother, a pleasant-fared
woman, enters the room.
"Why are you weeping, GladysF she
asked.
The girl does not answer, and strive as she
may to keep down the sobs that are welling
up from her heart, the effort is in vain and
again the pretty face is bedewed with tears.
But an instant later she has conquered her
emotions and looks bravely up at her mother.
"I will tell you, mother," she said, "the
cause of my sorrow. I was crying to think
that you cannot go to the matinee to-morrow."
"And why may I not gof
"Because," answers Gladys, in a voice that
is hoarse with agony, "I have concluded to
take it in invself."

The comic poets have caught up a new sub

the following exquisite verse:

And play cn the thingee-me-jig.

AFTER AMERICAN DOLLARS.
The Foreign Idea or the lioowenesa
of Money la This Country Beck
onlnx Without Their Host.
Thrust your hand into America, grab it
full of dollars, and then pull it out That is
the foreign idea of the plenty and looseness
of money in this country. In trying to carry it
into practice the visitor is pretty sure to
learn that we are good bargainers, never
buying anything that does not at least
promise to be worth its cost in gratification
of some sort. I have read that we are fools
because we paid high prices for views of Mrs.
Langtry, the accusation being that we let
ourselves be swindled by expecting to see a
good actress. We simply bought a sight of a
notorious women and got it. In the case of
Sarah Bernhardt, we were willing to give
more, because she brought great talent in
addition to notoriety ; and who can say that
we were cheated? Scores of European per
formers sorrowfully know that we have de
clined to purchase their entertainment,
though cleverly importuned to do so. In
the present instance of Irving, our instinctive
demand of value foi value has kept us sensi
ble. New York has liked some of his roles
and disliked others, praised his merits and
condemned his demerits, bought tickets at
high rates for such performances as pleased
and left the speculators heavy losers on the
others.
Tw o men of eminence in a holier profession
than play-acting are now being rather un
pleasantly instructed in this matter of get
ting American money. They are Capel, the
English Catholic priest and orator, and Hya
cinthe, the French seceder from the Romish
church. Each has world-wide celebrity, each
needed a replenishment of his church fund,
and each concluded to come to the Yankees
for the money. Neither is getting it. They
have been socially made welcome in this city,
and it may be that private subscriptions will
help their entirely worthy causes, but the en
tertainment-buying public is not dealing with
them to a remunerative extent. Hyacinthe
lectured last evening in Chickering hall, which
can hold 3,000 persons, but did contain only
300 The receipts could have no more than
covered the expenses. The metropolis cares
little for lectures, and appeals for charity on
behalf of foreign building projects do not
touch our hearts. Another fact is that our
own clergymen justly believe that there are
as yet plenty of eligible sites for new
churches on this side of the ocean.
Capol has had no tacking from Cardinal
McCloskey in his mission, and Hyacinthe re
ceives no Protestant sympathy of an influ
ential kind. The failure of the latter to
draw a crowd to his lecture was manifestly
depressing to him, and his eyes seemed to
have a dread of the rows of empty seats. His
gaze was carefully adjusted, so as not to ex
tend beyond the occupied front. I pitied him.
Nevertheless, I had to langh when a third of
the originally small audience departed in a
mild panic. There had been no intimation
in the advertisements that he would speak
in French. He had not delivered six sen
tences in that language before a horror of
hearing him for an hour without understand
ing him took possession of those who were
ignorant of his tongue. A bolder man than
the rest led a movement to the door, and was
followed like sheep after a bellwether.

Boucicault tells another good story which
has never yet appeared in print. The fol
lowing incident occurred at Jacksonville,
Florida, last spring, and the clever actor
dramatist says it suggested an entirely new
idea in dramatic construction, which be pro
poses to avail himself of some day. The cur
tain had just gone down on the third act of
"The Colleen Bawn" when a tall professor
like individual advanced to the front of one
of tho boxes, aud propounded the following
unlooked-for conundrum to the audience:
"Ladies and gentlemen, why is it that
Shakespeare is the only real dramatist the
world ever produced f
As no one replied, the tall man went on
earnestly :
" Is it because of his marvelous knowledge
of human nature, or his wonderful command
of language and expression? Not at all 0;her
writers have equaled him in these reseets,
but the immortal bard is the only dramatist
who recognized the evident fact that in real
life vice is not punished and virtuo is not re
warded, asthesickly, sentimental playwrights
of to-day would have us believe. There is no
last act make-up-all-aroun 1-evorj body
get married business in his plays. Look
at Othello 1 That's the way matters
wind -p in real life. . Look at Romeo
and Juliet. No happy denouement"
about them. My advice to the public,
therefore, is to never s!t a p!ay out. Always
leave before the lastact, just when the trouble,
villainy and heartbreaking is at its' worst,
and you will get the real realism and natural
ness." "Go on! Go on!" sail the audience, which
seemed to bo profoundly impressed with this
reasoning.
"I have nothing more to say," continued
the critic, putting on his hat, "except that the
curtain will bo rung up in a minute. I move
that we now adjourn."
And Boucicault says that when tho curtain
went up ho was dumbfounded to observe that
there was not a soul left in the house.
Xne t'liinaman and lift Colli n.
Cor. London Telegraph.
The idea of the Chinaman is that when he
dies he ought to be buried in the trunk of a
tree, and so it comes about that all coffins are
designed with a view to keep up the illusion.
They consist of four outside tree boards, and
are so fashioned together as to look very like
a tree at a little distance. They are, of
course, tremendously heavy ; but then that is
considered an excellent fault. If a sou wishes
to be very polite to his father, or one friend
desires to obtain the good will of another, he
makes him a present of a good, solid, heavy
coffin. The gift is put into an honored place
in the house, ready for use, and is shown for
the admiration of any f rien 13 who may calL
The owner would rather go into his coffin
than part with it, and, generally awaking,
though Chinaman, may get into debt and
be very harshly treated by his creditors,
they will leave him his coflln, uot wihiiig o
prejudice his entry into the next world,
which, according to the Celestials, (Upends
very much ujon the way in which a man is
buried. I was told that half the Chinese
living in Hong Kong were already in happy
possession of their coffin, and ready to enter
them when wanted.

There are indications all over Europe which
are ominous for tho reigning monarchies.
England is a republic in all but name, France
is one beyond all peradventure, while in
Germany, Italy and Spain, the great body of
the populations are republicans in theory. A
change will probably "come over Europe soon
after Kaiser William's death. The kingdom
of Sweden Is even now shaken by a popular
democratic agitation. King Oscar, a descend
ant of the French adventurer Bernadotte,
has repeatedly set at defiance the popular will
as expressed through the Norway Storthing.
And as a consequence there is a determination
on the part of that nation to assert its right
against the autocratic rule. King Oscar
may yet lose his crown if not his head, for he
has violated the fundamental law, by making
the same preteiuLisvvhich cost Charles I. of

The Inconvenience of Classen.
I Exchange.
A common notion among uneducated
people, whoso eyes are in gool con
dition, is that young people have no use
for glasses, and that they wear them
"just for style." To those Tho are
tinged with this m lirfvalism it is re
spectfully suggest d that they wear a
pair of glasses for a t eek and see if
they are willing to undergo the incon
venience for all the styles in a millinery
store. If -they try that invention of the
evil one, the nose pinchers, less than a
week will bo neeos".nry, for the tor
menting things, will gradually fclido ofl
the nose if that organ is at all thick or
inclined to perspire. Nose glasses are
tho abomination to all oculists, for they
know that with them no uniformity of
position can bo attained. A glas to be
accurately fitted to an eye must have its
focal centre in a line with the centre of
the eye. The wearer of the eyeglass
sticks that instrument of tortnre ou his
nose in as many different positions as
he can, with the lenses at all conceivable
angles. Then the bowod glasses fret the
ears and wear the bridge of the nose
raw. The man who would wear glasses
for style would wear ear jewelry and
corsets. "
Creations to Illustrate the Actor.
("Gath" in Cincinnati Enquirer.
I parsed perhaps tho most distin
guished actress in this couutry on the
street to-day, whom I do not personally
know, and I caught the words as I
passed: "The business doesn't pay." I
thought to myself: Here is a woman
brought up in another part of the world,
but she is undoubtedly talking, not
about her art, but the profits down at
the theatre, which does not especially
concern her, as she has no interest
there. My belief is that some of our
managers will make a great doal more
money if they keep their eye s off the
dollars and at the art. Pieces that are
made in this country at present are
nearly all written for some one actor,
and not based on any genius or interest
ing character. An actor is a being to
enter into a creation ; but our creations
are all made to illus.rate the actor.

Texas Grazinx Land.
"Hanson" in Chicago Times.
It appears that tho great Texas past
ures of mesqnite grass cover at least
150,000 square miles, which, it is
claimed, will sustain fifty cattle to the

test of its capacity been made. A r..nch
of thirty miles square is inclose 1, and
now supports 30,000 cattle; nor would
it support more than 10,000 more by
the most careful management. So wo
may conclude that the mesquito plains
would not support more than forty to
the square mile, or 6,000,000 in all
quite enough, however, for tho needs
of this country. Texas contains 274,

Swift's Specific is a complete antidote to Blood Taint,

I have had remarkable success with Swift's Specific In
the treatment of Blood and Skin Diseases, and in Fe
male Diseases. I took it myself for Carbuncles with
happy effect. D. U. J. Hurry, M. IX, Atlanta, Ga.
I nsed Swift's Specific on my little daughter, who was
afflicted with some Blood Poison which had resisted all
sorts of treatment. The Specific relieved her perma
nently, and I shall use it in my practice.
