The old friends, the old friends
We loved when we were y«u.\g,
With sunshine on their faces
And music
their tongues!
The 1 >ees are in the almond flower,
The birds renew their stra ii.
But the old friends, once lost to ua,
Can never come again.
The old friends, the old friends!
T h eir brow is lined with care;
T h ey ’ ve furrows in the faded cheek
And silver in the hair.
But to me they are tho old friends still.
In youth and bloom the same
As when we drove the flying ball
Or shouted in the game.
The old men, the old men,
H ow slow they creep along!
How naughtily w o scoffed at them
In days when we w ere young!
Th eir prosing and their dozing.
Their prate of times gone by,
T lieir shiver like an aspen leaf
I f but a breath went by.
But we, we are the rid men now,
Our blood is faint And ch ill;
We cannot leap the m ighty brook
Or clim b the breakneck hill.
Wo maunder down the shortest cuts,
We rest on stick or stile,
And tho young men, h alf ashamed to laugh
Y et pass us with a smile.
But the young men, the young men,
Th eir strength is fa ir to see—
The straight back and the spr.ngy stride,
The eye as falcon free.
The shout above the frolic wind
A s up the hill thoy go,
But though so high above us now
They soon shall be os low.
Oh, weary, w eary drag the years
As life draws near the end,
And sadly, sadly tall the tears
For loss o f love and friend.
But w e’ ll not doubt there’s good about
In all o f human kin d;
So here’s a health before wc go
To those we leave behind.

THE ICONOCLAST.
The child picked np the com and
stared in silence.
“ Say, kid, is dere a dago here?” one
o f the policemen translated.
The boy pointed with a thumb to a
door at the left of the landing where the
three men stood. Bronghion felt the
th rill o f the righteous avenger. The
malicious brnte who had twice destroyed
the wares of the poor little image vend
er would soon be sent to the island. And
a good riddance for the community.
One o f the police opened the door, and
they entered. They saw at one side of the
room a long work bench, covered with
plaster images. The iconoclast sat there,
carefully meuding a broken figure. The
woman was leaning over his shoulder,
laughing as they chatted in their own
language.
“ Eh, I always say it, Pietro, you
have a holy hand at mending them ! I f
not, w e m ight lose by the game. ”
“ I don’t say, Marianna, that St. Sam
uel is lietter than new, hut at least he
w ill stick until he takes another tum
ble. ”
So that was their trick! A piece of
real Neapolitan cunning. Broughton de
cided that lie ought to have seen through
it sooner. The woman caught sight of
the visitors, aud ran forward with hands
clasped: “ We ain’t dot.e-a nottin,” she
pleaded. “ Dis our heez-a-uess. We all-
a-right-a. ”
“ Yes, yon’re a ll righ t,” said Brough
ton impulsively. “ It was my mistake.
I owe you a dollar for it. ” And he laid
a silver dollar on the work bench of the
maker, breaker and mender of images.
The Italian looked np w ith a real N ea
politan smile, radiant, many toothed,
wide and irresponsible.
“ T e ll me abont it , ” said the reporter.
“ You not give-a me ’ way, gent'meu
cops?”
“ No. G o o n .”
“ Look, it like-a dis. We not sell im
age. And I say, you hear-a me, Marian-
□a, we get more money to break a ll!

After, I moud-a what-a can. After, I,
Marianna, babies, a ll eat. See?”
A l l this tim e the w ife stood with four
rather clean and very beantifnl children
clinging to her skirts, aud peeping shyly
at the strangers. How could Bronghton
or any one else blame this happy fam ily?
Indeed Bronghton has never formu
lated his views npou the case, although
he used to take social problems very se
riously. Whenever he meets Pietro in
the street they exchange a glance o f in
telligence. Sometimes the Neapolitan,
by a quick gesture, iudieates Marianna
farther along the avenue.
Aud then Broughton, if he has time,
assists at the — nth performance of the
comedy of tho iconoclast.— Elizabeth
Puilen iu St. Louis G lobe -Democ* a t
Young Mr. Broughton was, unawares
ami gradually, in process o f evolution
from the journalist to the newspaper
man. It took a ll sorts of rubs and sur
prises and facers and disillusions to form
him. Thai morning he was hurrying
through Printing House square ou an
assignment, when lie noticed before him
a woman carrying on her head a tray of
plaster images and walking w ith the
stately gait and even poise of the south
Italian. She was small, brown. Kite
wore a gown of bine cotton, a woolen
shawl, plaided in olive and yellow , aud
a red kerchief on her head. These glar
ing colors, however, made her a picture.
T o observe her Bronglitou passed by her
and then looked back.
She regarded him calmly. “ Buy a
lit’ San Samuele says-a his oration,
signor?”
Broughton had no particuhir use for a
praying Samuel, but he had various the
ories about our adopted citizens aftd
might have acquired something in the
plaster cast line if at that moment a
broad shouldered fellow had not come
and jostled the little woman so roughly
that the tray was thrown from her head
and went ruining to the sidewalk. It
was the end of the world for that popu
lation of graven images. They fe ll in a
heap of indistinguishable fragments,
m ingling their dnst in a complete de
mocracy o f saints, politicians, lambs,
the three graces, and even a model o f a
beantifnl foot labeled Trilby.
L ittle
Samuel was past praying for, bnt he was
no more thoroughly pulverized titan the
bust of Napoleon. Young Mr. Brough
ton fe lt stirring within him an essay on
the fra ilty of mandat e things. Then the
air was torn w ith the lamentations of
the womnn.
“ O Madonna I” N ext she denounced
the cause of the disas er, who was mov
ing away. “ Head c f big, yon are-a!
Why a yon hit-a me? ^ h a t I ever done
at you-a? You break-a ty image— I not
eat-a m ore!” she rattled her finger naiLs
along her front teeth to indicate the
hunger which would be the consequence
of the breaking of her stock in trade.
Meanwhile tw o bootblacks had seized
the man by the elbows, and turning him
aronnd ran him hack face to face with
the woman. She stood w ringing her
hands and wai ling. “ What ruin! Poor-a
m e !”
The aggressor was evidently also an
Italian.
" S o y !” one of the bootblacks said.
“ Youse has goiter reach down inter yer
clothes an square np w id de dago loitly. ”
“ H e’s a bloomin dago hisself,” com
mented the other boy.
Broughton had been painfully com
posing a few phrases of sneh colloquial
Italian as his Harvard studies of Dante
had rendered possible to him, and now
uttered them in a stiff aud toneless ac
cent. In effect, he said that it was nec
essary to pay the compatriot for that
which was broken.
“ Intnly got, a tencent-a, signor,” said
the offender, handing the coin to the
woman
He was permitted to go in
peace.
"T e n a cent-a! Madonna m ia! For so
mooch im ago!” sobbed she.
So Broughton put $1 into hisowu hat
and passed it aronnd among tho throng
that had been attracted by the noise.
When he gave : he col lection to the wom
an, she wiped iter eyes, kissed his hands
with many benedictions, aud went her
way.
Broughton's assignment had taken
him in the direction of Mulberry bend.
As he returned through that quarter he
saw a hundred yards in front of him a
woman w ith a tray o f images on her
head. He qniekeued his pace aud soon
was near her. It was the satin Ita lia n ;
she had replenished her tray with more
saints aud heroes and graces. “ So it is,”
mnsed young Mr. Bronghtcn— who still
trailed clouds of the glory o f journalism
— “ that in this world no one is indis
pensable. One perish.-», another replaces
h im !”
Just then, swaggering around a cor
ner, appeared the former breaker of
images, and again, as if on purpose, he
swung his arm rudely against the wom
an.
As before, a crash, lamentations
and a crowd. The dwellers of Mulberry
bend, themselves w ell acquainted with
poverty, gave of their few copper coins
to her, who sat wailing among the ruins
of her wares. They helped her to pick
np such of the casts as were not irreme
diably broken and to replace them on
the tray. This time Broughton did not
Btay to act as consoler. The aggressor
had walked off rapidly, and the reporter
followed him. A fter five minutes’ chase
they turned into an nnspeakably dirty
alley, where the Italian entered a door
way without noticing that any one pur
sued him. Broughton, having made snre
that he should recognize the house
again, hastened to tho nearest police
station and told the story.
“ She was aquiet, decent little body,”
he said totheofficer. “ Thatgreat. hulk
ing brute struck her on purpose the sec
ond time, even admitting that the first
time might have been by accident.”
T w o policemen were detailed to ac
company Mr. Bronghtcn, who was
known to the chief of the station, and
he led them straight to the door where
the Italian had entered. Up the dark
and broken stairs they climbed. Brough
ton shrunk from contact w ith the slimy
walls. It seemed to him that e v il odors
were depositing themselves there in a
pestilential fungous growth. A t last they
emerged upon a lauding. A c b ild leaned
over the baluster of the Rtory above.
Broughton tos.-.-d him a nickel.
“ M y little man, is there an Italian

STING
Since the appearance on one o f our
avenues a few days ago of a womas rid
ing a horse astride there has been the
usual discussion attending any innova
tion in Buffalo. Investigation at the lo
cal riding schools proves that there are
a number of society girls taking np this
uew fad, which of course it is at the
present time. Whether or not it has
tome to stay remains to be seen.
People who know very little about
riding are under the impression that the
crosswise riding for women is not so
dangerous. Harold St. John, a local rid-
iug nuister, is authority for the state

Nothing could be fairer, more philan
thropic or carry more joy in its wake than
the offer of T. A. Slocum, M. C „ o f 183
Pearl street, New York. Perfectly confi
dent that be has an absolute remedy for
the cure o f consumption and all pulmon
ary complaints, he offers through this pa
per to send two bottles tree to any reader
who ia suffering from lung troubls or con
sumption, also loss of tieso and all condi
tions of wasting. He invites those desir
ous of obtaining this remedy to send their
express and postofiice address, and to re
ceive in return tbe two bottles free, which
will arrest the approach o f death. A l
ready this remedy, by its timely use, has
permanently cured thousands of cases
which were given up, and dea. h waslooked
upon as an early visitor.
Knowing his remedy as he does, and be
ing so proof-positive o f its beneficent re
suits, Dr. Slocum considers it his religious
duty, a duty which he owes to humanity,
to donate his infallible remedy where it
will assault the enemy in its cidatel, and.
by its inherent potency, stay the current
o f dissolution, bringing joy to homes over
which the shadow ol the grave has been
gradually growing more strongly defined,
causing fond hearts to grieve. The cheap
ness of the remedy—offered fr< ely—apart
from its inhertnt strength, is enough to
commend it, and more so is the perfect
confidence of thegreat chemist making the
offer, who holds ont life to those already
becoming emaciated, and says: “ Be
cared.”
The invitation is certainly worthy of thi
consideration of the afflicted, who foi
years, have been taking nauseous nostrums
without effect; who have ostracised them
selves from home and friends to live in
more salubrious climes, where the atmos
phere is more congenial to weakened lungs,
and who have fought against death with
all the weapons and strength in theii
hands. There will be no mistake in send
ing for these free bottles—the mistake will
he in passing the invitation by.
