Sky as blue as ever smiled above Italia's sun-kissed plains; P\\r as soft and sweet and balmy as in blest Arcadia's lanes; Sunshine mellow as the apples that our boy-lips loved to kiss. And as golden as our boy-dreams that were redolent of bliss; Distance purple as the mountains guarding Colorado s wealth — Ever>' breath a benediction and a perfect bill of health; Forests, gold and brown and crimson, flank the sward of richest green — And it's only in October that such days as these are seen. Rustling shocks of corn are huddled 'mid the greenly gleaming wheat. Peeping through the loamy fallow at their old and withered feet; Pumpkins — monster Klondike nuggets — have been snugly stored away To await their call to duty on the glad Thanksgiving day; While beneath the forest monarchs all the leafy woodland floor With a wealth of nuts and acorns is prolusely covered o er. In the apple orchard yonder ruddy fruitage hides the ground — .'Xnd it's only in October that such wealth as this is found. But the Dreamer — Oh, the Dreamer! On such wondrous days as these He can hear a thousand voices whisp'ring to him in the breeze; In the sifting, shifting sunlight, as it filters through the leaves. Hordes of filmy fairies dancing, in his fancy, he perceives. In the peaceful, purple distance, by a poet's frenzy driven. He can glimpse the fields elysian and the batdements of Heaven. Then he sees as old-time prophets saw when glory round them gleamed - And it's only in October that such dreams as these are dreamed. GREENLAND GAP. KV Kl.IHU IF you want to see rocks, go to Greenland Gajj. " This was the sententious advice that a mount- ' aineer gave me in the fastnesses of the Alleghanies, when he had discovered that I was one of those city folks who like to go around looking at rocks." Nature wrought a wondi-ous work when it forged Greenland Gap. This i)ass is a bi-eak in the New Creek Mountains, a branch of the Allegheny system, and lies about twenty-one miles west of Keyser, West Virginia, on the Baltimore & Ohio Road, in the county of Grant, in the war- born State. What mighty and sudden convulsion of nature wrought, if it did, this chasm in the range of mountains none may tell ; but the hand of the slow, jiotential forces of rain and tempest and lightning can now be seen at work separating the strata that form the cliffs that bound the gap, and piling their precipitous sides with sublime terraces of rock and boulder, where the mountain lifts its lofty and pictures<|ue domes above an ocean of billowy sand- stone. ; One may read in these stones, marked with the sea shells of some ancient ocean, that the sea once Howed over these grand heights and, doubtless, contributed its share to the magnificent contortions of rock, boulder and precipice that make this valley grand, if not ghastly, in spectacular beauty. The gap proper is over a mile in length, and, in some places, a half mile wide. Be- tween the mountains roars the north fork of Patterson Creek, with the voice of ap- l)roaching temjiest, as it tears its way along through rocky defiles or leaps, surging, over conquered barriers into cascades and water- falls. These mighty boulders that lie in huge heajjs on either side of the gap are awe- inspiring freaks of nature. Here, falling, as the disintegrating forces of time cast them loose from their mountain aeries, these towering columns have rolled, with a contusion that rivaled in its explosion a discharge of the artillery of heaven, into the vast arena beneath, crashing and leap- ing as they came, until arrested in their progress by opposing rocks, and have added to the broad sea of boulders that have in the countless ages of an untold past been mounting, in majestic rivalry, almost to the very tops of the mountain that gave them birth. These heaps of stone have resisted nature's bravest efforts through the long cycles of the unmeasured geologic eras that have molded the earth to give foothold for plant or ti-ee. Even the strenuous lichen on many of them has failed to plant its glutinous foot. Profound is the awe that irresistibly steals over the adventurer who toils into and over these magnificent piles of rocks and finds inspiration in the silence of their uni(iue grandeur. The convulsions of nature that caused this dreary yet sublime waste fill the mind with a nervous apprehension. An overpowering sense of their lonely vast- ness moves the spectator. Its painfulness bids him leave this den of desolation — its grandeur rivets the mind, and he is loath to leave scenes so full of might, mystery and magnificence. A half mile below the gap, in another break in the mountains, are the Falls of the North Fork of Patterson Creek. When the creek is full, the falls are about sixty feet in width and thirty feet in height. Usually they consist of two or three broken streams plunging over the precii>itous rocks that block the passage of the roaring stream. The falls are bounded by tall, encircling rocks that give additional beauty to this most picturescjue water view. When the sun reaches the glen, the sunbeams dance on the frothing waters with delightful scenic effect, and the music of the cascade and the poetry of the dancing wavelets unite in charming harmony. A famous mountain spring pours out be- low the rocky heights near the falls, and in the gap itself is the foundation of the old guard house that sheltered the sentries who, in the Civil War, watched the road to prevent the repetition of that scene when Garnett's men, leaving their dead general behind, Hed precipitously through the glen and burned the bridge behind them. Ten hours after the event, the Federal army arrived in a vain attempt to cut ofl^ the defeated Confederates. In Greenland, the site of the old block house which the Federal soldiers occupied is shown the visitor, with the hill that the Union artillery covered, and at Scherr, one GREENLAND GAP. mile from (Ircfiilaiid, torts ot tlic war still frown on the villajje, and the sacred church rises on the spot where, in 186.S, a com- pany of Federal soldiers took refuge against a force of 1 ,K10 Confederate cavalry and held them at bay in a sharp fight in which four Federal and double that number of Confederates fell, from 3 in the after- noon until nearly midnight, when a bold Confederate, under the protection of the chimney of the church, scaled the roof and, saturating it with coal oil, set fire to the improvised fort, and the besieged sur- rendered, not before, however, giving the rebel" hero a wound in the foot for his audacit}'. Greenland is rich in natural curiosities other than in its rocky upheavals and downfalls. Within a distance of three- quarters of a mile flows four different kinds of drinking water — slate, freestone, limestone and suli)hureted iron water. The last flows from an opening in the rocks on the public road from Greenland to Scherr. To this stream is attached a subterranean viaduct for the downfall of the rain of a section of country two and a half miles northward. This section is a locality be- ginning at the top of the New Creek Mountains and stretching westward with a width of a lialf mile or a mile, or more, to a low place in the ground. Here is an un- fathomed opening in the ground, and into this cavity all the water of the area de- scribed descends when the rain and thaws come. At their embouchure, near Scherr, this water comes out with quantity sufficient to cover the public road for a foot in depth and a number of yards in width. Ordina- rily the stream is but a few inches deej). This stream has the name of the Spouting Spring. When free from rain water the flow of w'ater is sulphureted iron. One afternoon the writer, in a company of six, ascended the northern cliffs of Greenland Gap, from base to summit — a perpendicular height of 1,200 feet. The cliffs, on either side, are composed of precipitous rocks, several hundred feet high, rising straight as the |)lunimet falls, and of i)iles of mighty boulders at the base of cliffs, descending in strange spectiic- ular shapes to the edge of the stream that divides the glen. Both sides of the gap present the same characteristics. tliougli they are more startling upon the northern side. The views, from rock to rock, on the dizzy edge of the cliff, were magnificent, both in the far reach and the near vision. The great boulders at the foot of the prec- ipice had to sight become tiny stones. From the northern to the southern cliff was a half mile — a half mile of surpassing beauty and of amazing evidence of the dis- integration of the everlasting hills. Most of the rocks below the cliffs show the slow processes of an untold epoch, but others disclose the hand of the present in the changes wrought in their form and position. In the last twenty years Table Rock, once the dining board of the enthusiastic tourist, has left the cliffs several feet. A few years ago, not a score in number, a step divided it from the main ledge ; now it is impossible to step on and off it with safet}'. The rock, mounting in pyramidal column several hundred feet from base to summit, is gradually leaving the ledge and losing its equilibrium. Some day the center of gravity, that holds it now in place, will change, and with the crash of thunder, it, breaking into a thousand pieces, will join the army of boulders that now lie at its feet. There are many curious forms of boulder and ledge in these rocky heights. One is in the shape of a portico that bears strong resemblance to a huge camel's head. It stretches out from the cliffs over the ledge like a great balcony. From a distance it appears a perilous undertaking to reach it, but as it is approached a safe passage opens to the porch, which itself is provided by nature with granite seats, from whence, free from obstruction, an extensive and magnificent view of all that is possible from the cliffs is obtained. Presenting its unjirotected face to the tempest, the cliffs are fre(iuently the targets for the thunderbolts of heaven. Until re- cently, on the top of Table Rock, lay a broad, smooth stone, like the covering of a table. Here the cloth was spread, now it is shivered in iiieces ; the lightning gave the blow that rent it asunder, and furnished one clew in unraveling the secrets of nature in building these great heaps of boulders that makes this gap a wonder amongst wonders.

FACING THE STREET AND PLAZA. THE NEW RAILWAY STATION AT YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO. I\ line with the general policy of the iiKinafrement of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad to rebuild the stations over the entire system as fast as possible, Youngstown, Ohio, was among the first to receive the benefit of the gen- eral order. The new station, anti(|iie German in style of architecture, is 1,50 feet long by .50 feet in depth and is two stories high. The tracks are on a level with the second story, leaving the railroad facade one story in height, with the main facade on the street two stories high. It is constructed of gray pressed brick with brown sandstone trimmings. The general w.iiting-room occupies the center of the building, with the height of both floors. It is 70 feet long by. .)() wide and has a seating capacity of l.)0. Opening upon it on the lower floor are the ticket office, news stand, tele- phone and telegraph booths, while the women's retiring room, men's smoking room, baggage room and several offices are on the second floor. From the general waiting-room a separate suliway reaches to each track, avoiding the necessity of passengers crossing the tracks to and from trains. The interior woodwork is of ([uartered oak and the floor of the main waiting-room is marble mosaic. The roof of the entire structure is covered with red tile, .Spanish design. A .'!0-foot driveway of limestone and a 10-foot cement walk lead to the station from Mahoning .Xvenue, artistically fringed with lawn and flower beds. THE GARY SISTERS AND "THE OLD HOMESTEAD." A LITERARY LANDMARK OF CINCINNATL FROM TIIK SOl'THWESTFRN S HOOK. A LITTLE back troni the much-trav- eled dusty highroad, where jingling milk wagons and rumbling trolley cars forever disturb the country peace, stands a modest house, whose big chimneys and wide paneled doors with old- fashioned brass knocker proclaim it to be of a former generation, when homes were built with a view toward durabilitj' rather than for present show. To the left three large pillars support an upper porch, to which access is had from two bed-rooms and from a narrow passage and a precipitous flight of steps from the front rooms of the upper story. Under these pillars is a paving of blue flagstones, leading to a cool never-failing well of water, and farther on toward tlie red barn. Re- garding these paving stones a curious story is told. They once formed the flat bed of a near-by creek. They were numbered and carefully taken up and replaced in their present location in the same order as Nature had originally placed them in some past age. For j'ears, centuries, those stones had been worn smooth and flat by grinding feet and roaring spring freshet. In sum- mer they lay hot and dry under the parch- ing suns, and these streams diminished until it was but a tiny trickle, wherein the song birds were scarce able to find refresh- ment. For seventy years now they have echoed to the tread of human feet ; childish feet pattering as lightly over their surface as the rii)ples of water once did, the heavy footfall of the tired toiler, and more than ■once to the concerted muffled tread that marks the last time each leaves his earthly home. The bricks in the house, like the stones in the pavement, are a part of the soil on which the homestead stands, as they were burned near at hand by the builder of the house, and they represented not only the work of his hand, but the blood of his fore- fathers, for the land itself was the price paid, by a government practically bankrupt in everything but land, for services rend- ered and great hardshi])s endured in defense of countr.v, during the Revolution, to the first of the Gary family to emigrate to the ^reat Northwest Territory. The Cary family trace their descent from a certain Sir Robert Cary, who, during the reign of King Henry V of ]*>ngland, van- quished a certain chevalier of Aragon, for which service he was rewarded by the restoration of his father's lands, which had been taken from him by Henry IV, on account of his loyalty to Richard II, also by authority to bear the coat of arms of the defeated Aragonois, of which the Cary sisters were very proud, Phoebe especially, who had it engraved on a seal ring, which was taken from her finger after death. The first American Cary came to the Plymouth Colony in 16.S0, taught the first Latin class in this country, and was promi- nent and influential among the Pilgrim Fathers. Succeeding generations of the Cary family were men of wealth and influ- ence, and highly educated, down to and including the great grandfather of Alice and Phoebe, who seems to have been the last to receive a liberal education. Their grandfather, his son, entered the Revolu- tionary Army at the age of eighteen, and when peace was declared received, in reward of his services, a land grant in Hamilton County, Ohio. Robert Cary, the father of the Cary sisters, came from New Hampshire to the wilderness of Ohio in 1 803 with his father, coming down the Ohio River on a flatboat and landing at Fort Washington, now Cincinnati, near where their land was situated. He married in 1.SI4 and settled on a portion of the original Cary ])urchase, the Clovernook," which was afterward immortalized by his taletited daughter's stories. The life of the Ohio pioneers was by no means an easj' one. The land was there, but it had to be cleared, a home built, and a living wrested from the soil. In the little log cabin then built Robert Gary's nine children were born, and it was not until eighteen years later that the new- home, the Clovernook'" of to-da\-, was built. The house still stands, its substan- tial walls intact and seemingly as strong as when laid over seventj' years ago, a monu- ment to the patient, honest builder, who long since passed away. 12 THE GARY SISTERS AND "THE OLD HOMESTEAD:' With the entering of the new home, however, when better times seemed dawn- ing upon the family, new sources of trouble arose. Heretofore the nine Cary cliildren had been a happy little band, faring as most country children do, taking up their share of the burden of toil as each grew old enough, trudging a mile and a (|uarter to the little schoolhouse, but imbibing, most of all, that wonderful knowledge of Nature, which Alice and I'hd'be both wove so first wife, and of a temperament utterly antagonistic to his daughters. She con- sidered all time spent in study as wasted. Alice, then seventeen, while Pho-be was thirteen, were kept busily at work all day, but continued to prosecute their studies at night. This was a fruitful source of dis- sension between them and their step- mother, who did not believe that the burn- ing of candles for the pur[)ose of reading books was i)roper or profitable, and .Alice's .ALICE CARY. PHffiBE CARY. deftly into all their songs. Before a year had passed two sisters especially belo\ed of Alice had passed away, their deaths being closely followed by the decline and fading away of the idolized mother, of whom Alice wrote in her " Order for .i Picture "' — ".\ lady, the loveliest ever the sun I.ddked iliiwn iipdii, you must paint for me: Oil, if 1 could only malve you see The clear blue eyes, the tender smile. The sovereign sweetness, the Kentle grace, The woman's .soul, and the angel's face That are beaming upon me all the while, I need not speak these foolish words: Yet one word tells you all I would say, ."^he is my ninther; you will agree That all the rest may be thrown away." Two years later Robert Cary married again, a woman entirely different from his first attemjits at composition were often written by the light of a bit of rag burning in a saucer of lard, and in " Clovernook " to-day a closet under the stairs is pointed out where the girls hid their manuscripts. Alice's first literary adventure, entitled The Child of Sorrow," was published in the Sentinel," afterward known as "Star of the West," published in Cincinnati, while Pha-be saw her first composition, which she had sent to a Boston newspa|)er, and heard nothing from it, copied in one of the home i)ai)ers. For years the sisters contributed to various publications, "The Ladies" Repository," "Graham's Maga- zine," and the daily and weekly journals of Cincinnati, without pecuniary reward, the first substantial result being •'510 re- ceived from the "National Era," of Wash- THE CAKY SISTERS AND "THE OLD HOMESTEAD." 13 Rev. Rufus W. in 181-9, the two publislied poems, infjton, after they had written for that paper several months. At the instance of Griswold, of New York, sisters collected all their revised them and had them published in a little volume entitled Poems of Alice and Phoebe Gary," for which they received the sum of $100, representing twelve years of study and privation, hard work and little encouragement. They had however achieved something in the friends they had made, and in the recognition their work had received. In 1850, after the publication of their little book, the sisters went to New York, thence to Boston, then to Amesbury, where for the first time they met face to face the poet Whittier, who had, however, written them many words of encouragement, and who remained one of their nearest and dearest friends to the days of their death. Mr. Whittier commemorated this visit in his poem of The Singer,'" i)ublished after the death of Alice, in which he describes the two sisters as "Two song birds wanderinji from their nest, A gray old farmhouse in the West." Horace Greeley, of the Tribune," was also one of their stanchest friends, visiting them in their western home, and after their removal to New York Cit}', which took place shortly after this visit east, they drew around them a coterie of friends, literary and otherwise, which included the highest and best in the intellectual world of the day. Regarding this i-emoval, Alice Gary wrote, shortly before her death : Ignor- ance stood me in the stead of courage. Had I known the great world as I have learned it since, I should not have dared ; but I didn't. Thus I came." Alice went first, and Phoebe followed her within a vear, bringing with her their voungest sister, a frail and delicate girl, who was the sisters" chief care during tlie few remaining years of lier life. They hired two or three modest rooms in an unfashionable neighborhood, and there set up their household goods. The ne.xt year Alice brought out "Glovernook Papers,"' which speedily cajitivated the public by their naive freshness, redolent of the sunshine, of the wild Howers, of all that had gone to brighten her child life on the wind-swept Cincinnati hills. These papers were re-published in England and translated into French in Paris, and did much to widen her reputation. Both sisters worked hard contributing to innumerable periodicals, which now entreated their names for their pages, and in five years" time they were able to remove to a pretty house in Twentieth Street, which Alice subsequently bought and which was their home the balance of their lives. While much can be said of Alice's work, more perhaps might be said of her strong personality. A frail woman, early broken in health, yet she accomplished a great deal in the short fifty-one years of her life, much of it under stress of pain and suffer- ing, facing fate with a masculine strength of will entirely disproportionate to her strength of body. Deeply affectionate and of a modest, retiring nature, nevertheless it was she who strengthened and upheld the brighter, gayer sister, who managed the household, whose influence was strong- est in the brilliant circle of friends who gathered at their home. Although more robust in health Phoebe was always the dependent, the one who shrank from responsibility, until the very last, when .\lice, leaning on her, died. The tie between the two sisters was too strong to be long severed, and in less than a year Phoebe was laid beside her sister in Greenwood. TWO MOST FAMILIAR HYMNS OF THE GARY SISTERS. I'Hlt-HK t AKV.

IX 187'' an annex to tlie Smithsonian Institute at Washington was erected ^^ b.v the Govern- ment and termed the National Museum. The building is directly east of the Smithsonian, between Seventh and Twelfth streets, and is the place of universal interest to those who en- joy relics. There are seventeen spacious ex- hibition halls and l.'M- rooms for special pur- poses within the build- ing. It is here are kept the personal relics of Gen- eral Washington, some of which were taken there from Arlington, and others which have been purchased and placed there from time to time. Among the most interesting is the uniform Washington WASHINGTON'S COMMANDER wore as commander-in-chief on the occasion of resigning his conunission at Annapolis, and the cam)) chest with its pewter dislies, knives, forks, cooking utensils, etc., used by him dur- ing the Revolutionary War. There are also many personal relics of Gen- eral Grant and many trophies of war among the curios. In the rotunda are the Spanish rifles, side- arms, bugles. Hags, etc., trophies of the war with Spain. The National Museum is now the general de- pository of all geological and industrial collec- tions of the Govern- ment, and is fast be- coming one of the greatest and most attractive museums in the world.

To have lived in a time when men wore ruffled sliirts ^ and laces, with breeches and pumps. This is what William G. Clark of St. Louis can go back to, and his recollections of iiis childhood and boyhood read like an old tale of the Revolutionary days. "it was only July 4, IS'28," said lie, that I saw Charles Carroll of Carrol Iton dig the first spadeful of earth for the laying of the Baltimore .S: Ohio Railroad. This was the first railway built in this country, and Mr. Carroll took up the earth with a small silver spade. I see this spade, with the first locomotives run on this road, at all the expositions that I visit. It took them eight years to build to Frederick City, which is fifty miles out from Baltimore. They sent to North Carolina for the wood to make the ties, and these were inlaid or mortised in the center with yellow pine. On top of these carefully prepared ties there were wooden rails held down by wedges and then on top of these were iron rails one-half inch thick, two inches wide and eighteen feet long. When the road had been built out twelve miles to Ellicott City there were cars put on which were pulled by three or four horses each. These coaches would hold about fifty people, and I have ridden in them many times. Then locomotives were introduced. At this time the passenger coaches were built with wheels that had spokes and not one solid |iiece, as they are now. They had found that the yellow pine of the ties was perishable, and about hS.'iO to 1833 they began taking out these and laid cut stone, and put the rails Hat on to this foundation. The spikes were put in and molten lead poured in to make them firm in the holes that had to be previously cut into the stone to allow them to enter. The company brought stone cutters all the way from Massachusetts to do this work. When they had laid about nine or ten miles of this stone foundation, they found that running the coaches over it broke the spokes of the wheels and so it was discon- tinued. All of these things will sound strange enough to people in this day and generation. '" When Mr. Clark was eighteen years old he started from home to make his fortune further west. He traveled to the end of the Baltimore & Ohio, which was only fifty miles out of Baltimore, and from there by stage and river boats arrived in St. Louis in September of 1836, having taken just fifteen davs to make the journey which is now made in less than twenty-four hours. On the morning that he arrived in St. Louis the Republic," which is now in its ninety- eighth year, was published for the first time as a daily paper. St. Louis at that time had a voting population of 2,000, and it was soon after that a presidential election was held. It took three days to cast the votes, and the ballot boxes were placed on tables out on the piazza of a house on Fourth Street, near what is now the Planters' Hotel. The candidates for election sat on chairs near where the boxes were and chatted and talked and watched the voters as they came up. When a man w'ent up to vote he was asked his name and age, etc. When he had cast his vote the judge who was on duty would read the ballot from beginning to end. If one of the candid.ites was near he would get up and bow ,ind thank the man for his vote.'" HUMOR AND THE HUMORIST. A PLEASANT EVENING IN THE YARDS. S. i:. KISi:H, IN fURACO *' HKC(>IU)-Mh;HAI.l)." Diary of a man who has bought a berth in a sleeping car that is to be started on its journey at 3 o'cloclv in the niornini;-, the passengers being permitted to enter at 111. 30 and go to bed: 10. i.j — All, this is delightful. There is nobody in the upper berth; the night is just cool enough for comfort, and Til have over four hours of good, solid sleep h<-fore the car starts. lo..5(i — They have run a switch engine up beside this car, and it is blowing oif steam with a roar that would make Niagara sound like the humming of a moscpiito. I wonder why they don't s.-ive their coal! 11.01 — They are now ringing the bell on the switch engine. It sounds as if it were about five and one-half inches from my ear. ll.l-t — Hiff! That was an awful bump. I guess I was dozing. I thought for a minute that we had been wrecked. They must have let a freight train get loose and bang into us. Another shock like that and my heart is likely to jump the fence. ll.lfi — We're moving. I can't understand it. The agent said our car would stand in the yard till 3 o'clock. Oof! Confound it, what are they trying to do with us anyway ? We must have run against a stone wall. 11. -Ji) — I wish I hadn't come in so early. What a beauty Grace Leamington is — and as clever as she's pretty. I might have been with her instead of wasting time in this stuffy ear for the past hour, too ! I'm a Rocky Mountain sheep if they haven't run that switch engine up Ijeside us again. I wonder why they keep ringing the confounded bell. They certainly can't be afraid of running over people while the old machine is .standing still at this time of night. 11.4-0 — \o use. I can't go to sleep here. They've run the switi-h engine away, but that fellow in the next berth is going to die in a minute or two. Xo man can use his breathing- apparatus to make such sounds as he's making and live. I wonder if he has a wife and family! It'll be a sad task to break the news to them. 11.53 — Oh, heavens, but this is lovely! The conductor and porter are now talking with somebody about his ticket. I was just going to sleep, too. I wish I h.id sat up and smoked. I -'.07 — ,\t last things are ((uiet. The jiorter has turned down the lights. Now for a good, re- freshing sleep. I need it. I wonder if Grace Leamington is likely to get stout in her old age ? l-2.il — Um-m-m ! Heavens! We must have been run into by the fast mail that time. It's that confounded switch engine. It has come back and hooked onto us. I wonder where we're going now:- Oh, well, I don't care much. Dan- ger and death no longer seem terrible to me. Maybe they're going to shove us into the round- house. If they'd only keep the ear moving I believe I could go to sleep easier than when it's standing .still. I wouldn't be surprised if Grace might get rather heavy after she's 35 or +0. Her mother must weigh at least lio pounds. 1.'.33 — Bang, once more. I'll bet the man who's running that switch engine never had hold of a throttle before. But perhaps his brake is broken, so that the only way he can stop is by running against something. I'm .so glad I got here as soon as the car was opened. It would have been a pity if I had missed any of the re- freshing rest I'm getting. 1-2. 4-!! — I'm going to report tliis conductor. I don't believe the company pays him merely to stand in the aisle and gossip with the porter while passengers are trying to get the sleep they've given up their good cash for. 1.0-2 — There it is again. The switch engine's got back. Oh, toot, dad burn you, toot. You can't disturb me any more by blowing your whistle than you do by ringing your bell. The next time I get a berth in a sleejier that doesn't start till .3 in the morning they'll have to have a keeper on each side of rae, I'll tell them that. Let her whistle! Don't mind me! I'll bet a hundred dollars that engineer has a grudge against .somebody in this car and is trying to give him a case of nervous prostration. Grace takes after her mother. That's plain enough. Still, I don't know but that I'd rather be married to a woman who got a little too plump along late in life than to have one who dried up to nothing but skin and bones. 1.23 — We're off again. This is the ninth time they've run us down the track and then run us back, with a nerve-destroying bump at each end. Oh, well, 1 guess there's no use trying to go to sleep now. I'm going to take it philosophically and save wear and tear on my temper. 1.37 — Lor heaven's sake! They're yelling at somebody now to get up on the roof of this car and pour water into it. I wonder if they didn't have time to attend to that earlier in th<- evening, when people were not trying to slee|). 1.50 — I know that man in the next berth is now in the last throes. Confound him, he ought to die ! Any nuin who can sleep through a racket like this deserves an ignominious death. Still, I don't sui)iiose he's to l)lame, after all. He makes .so much noise of his own that he doesn't know anything el.se is going on. That's the great advantage of being a snorer. I never thought of it before. Now I know why a man who snores is always able to sleep overtime. 2.02 — Ouch! That bump nearly threw me into the aisle. I wonder why they always run into us from the direction toward which one's head points? I'll bet there are .seven distinct imprints of my skull on the partition between this and the next berth. Oh, if the coupling would only break and let us run into the river. 2.11 — They must have hauled us back near the station. Twenty people outside are trying to talk at once. I can't make out what they're saying, but it must be funny. I can hear our porter, who evidently is standing at the car steps, laughing with great enthusiasm. 2.29 — Hello! Our old friend the switch en- gine has returned with steam up and the safety- valve showing what it's there for. I don't sup- pose they can find room for it anywhere else in the yard. HUMOR AM) THE HUMORIST. 19 ■>. H — Thank heaven 1 Only nnieteon minutes to wait in this inferno. Jerusalem! They're ffoinfr to shunt us around someHliere a^ain. I wonder if it would do that poor fellow any good to [lOur some kind of a lubrieant into his wind- pipe? It's too bad Grace's hair is so dark. Otherwise the down on her upper lip wouldn't show at all. 2.Xi — The Pullman conductor has just yelled to the ]>orter that the train to which we are to be attached is an hour and fifty minutes late. Good by, proud world, good by ! I'm goiufr out to throw myself in front of the switch enfrine. If an all-wise Providence felt that I had any riffht to live this could never have happened to rae. THE CORNER. lAl K KArlH, IX CLEVKl.AXn "pRESS." I've stood on the corner at midnight; no clocks were striking the htnir. For 'twas down in the skyscraper district, with nary an old church tower In sight, and besides 'twas a city, and folk in the city don't like The old-fashioned church clock or any old kiiui of a clock that will strike. I say that I've stood on the corner and I've waited long for my car; And waiting, and waiting, and waiting, my tcm- {>er's had many a jar. For cars in another direction, and cars turning off long before They reached the street I was boimd for would tauntingly pass by the .score. I've wanted a car that went eastward, but cars that were bound for the west. The north and the south .seemed the only blamed cars that the railway possessed; When I wanted a car in another direction it seemed there ne'er ceased A flying procession of trolleys, e;u-h one of them bound for the east. How often, oh, how otten, in the days that have gone by, I lave I stood on the corner at midnight and raised a tien'e outcry; How often, oh, how often, ha\'e I cussed in lan- guage free The starter who started so many cars .and never a car for me. THE GODDESS OF THE BEACH. I., n. itomnss, nkw.vhk "nkws." The summer girl, the girl who goes to the sea- shore in May and stays till September, has never been properly understood. Because she wears more than one engagement ring she is slapped and .-.langed by all the jokesmith» in Christendom and elsewhere. .She is satirized by the whole Gibsonian crew and sat upon by the clergy. No one has ever risen to point out the g(»od she does or the important part she plays in the great world of endeavor. Your kind attention for a few moments. Women have been men's cncouragers since .\dani got the sack from the garden. Hut they fall down on the job too often. The young man tries to tell his troubles to his best girl, and she, like Copperfield's Dora, doesn't want to hear about disagreeable things. The married man goes home from work with a burden of care upon his shoulders, and his wife w-ants to talk of the shortcomings of the washer-woman, the iceman or the gro( er. The best girl regards her young man's ambition as a matter of course; his hopes and fears are parts of him. The wife who rises in the world with her husband looks upon him with an admiration far from commensurate with his performance. But the summer girl — ah, the summer girl! One by one the city toilers go to her, unham- pered by past acquaintance, free from any in- difference born of familiarity. And they tell her their aims and plans and their complaints against fortune, and she listens and comforts and cheers them on to victory, and sends them back to town t\ew men. First the shoe store clerk, bitter against the idle, fawning, good-for-nothing manager. He pours his sad story into her sympathetic ears and she Ijids liim be strong and fearless, for she lielieves in him. .\nd he returns from his week at the .shore with sufficient nerve and self-esteem to oust ten bosses. In his place on the sand sits the lawyer's office man, weary of working a typewriter, weary of oppression, weary of waiting for the long-earned raise. He, too, tells the summer girl of his un- appreciated worth, of his latent merits that must some day lift him superior to circumstance. .\nd when she says she believes in him, the sun of hope flashes through the clouds and shows him a way to have that lawyer bought and sold inside of six months. So he goes away and the sand is still warm when along comes the struggling author, a man of delicate temperament, a discon,solate creature against whom the doors to the magazines and fame are barred. He sits beside the summer girl and unloads his woe, and she counsels him tenderly and admires him and believes in him and sees him to the train, and he speeds home to set the world afire. On the way back to the be.ach she meets the asjiiring pugilist, his left eye gloomy from his last unhappy l)atfle, his right eye still gloomier with disappointment. He reclines at her feet and laments; he longs to meet Jimmy Hritt .again and show him what's what in an honest mill. .\nd she smiles upon him and gives him new courage and believes in him. .\nd the lightweight cham- pionship {'hanges hands next year. Thus she toils, the summer girl, a goddess in a bathing suit, a fairy whose good will includes all comers, a muse whose inspiration is exhaustless. Oru' first-class summer girl, in a single season, can send forth enough captains of industry to officer a brigade. 20 HUMOR AND THE HUMORIST. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. The icpinan tolls the knell of summer days. The rusty straw was Ion;;- ajjo retired. The flimsy suit of crash is passing out. Likewise the white-shod girl so oft admired. The summer opry troupe has blown the town. The ehorus girl of seanty robe and si>ear Is bearing now a tray in some hotel And foolish Johmiies drop a sealding tear. Now fades the lubber's yachting eap from sight. The small boy wears again the hated shoe. The ]iienie grounds no more with shouts resound. And women's sleeves are not so peekaboo. The Hower bed where I toiled so hard is gone, I've lugged the .screen doors up the attic stair, N'o more the garden yields the juicy truck. The lawn where once the long green waved is bare. The plunil)er greets me with a pleasant smile, The i-oal man ijasses out a good cigar, The man has cleaned the .sooty furnace pijies .4nd hot drink signs are on the drug store bar. These signs are plain, but when my wife remarks, " I guess you'll soon be putting these things on," And makes another dive deep in the trunk, I realize that summer must be gone. "PEANUTTA PRESIDANT."

There was never any res]iite for his mother; He was getting into mischief everywhere. There were somersaults distracting down the stairway. And tumbles off the sofa, to be sure. And the bumiis he got were really quite terrific. Hut non<- a mother's kisses couldn't cure. He'd a most ))lebeian fondness for the kitchen. Who.se precincts were his favorite retreat. And the coal-hod held for him a fascination. For he seemed to think its contents good to cat. But the thing that caused his mother's greatest worry, .\nd made her ply her housecloth o'er and o'er, Was his subsequent invasion of the parlor. With his grimy little fingers on the door. How the whiteness of the ])aint was desecrated By those dirty little digits every day! Though his weary mother wept and begged ajid scolded He pursued the even tenor of his way. It was evident that he was only happy When his fingers held their share, and more, of dirt; .■\nd the only thing he loathed was soap .ind water. And ()! my goodness gracious! how that hurt. But it hurts us now to contemplate the cleanness Of everything about this (|uiet place; ■Ml the finger-marks that used to mar the wood- work Have disappeared, nor left the slightest trace. For tile last of them were wiped away last summer. Glad summer that is gone forevermore! We are lonely. Lord, and hungering to see him, With his grimy little fingers on the door. The foregoing: verses by Mr. Daly, in tfie "Catliolie Statuiard and Times," show the scope of his versatility in roat'Iiintr from touching pathos to dialectic humor. When a man finds it necessary to announce himself, it is in the majority of cases necessary for him to do so. The first condition of gentility is laid upon environment, and the structure itself is almost entirely dependent upon the foundation. De(eit is often merely an ana>sthetic, if used exclusively to spare pain. Nothing develops selfishness in the human character more than an abso- lutely pacific condition. It is the tur- moil of life that turns the better side of ourselves to the sunlight. Many of us are color blind, save to the hues of our own flag. The power of original thought reigns supreme in an independent world of its own. Social cultivation is often most a))ly illustrated bj' what we do not do out of respect for it. Oxe of the best evidences of thorough intellectual worth is a complete and accurate knowledge of our own abilitv. Science gives little in exchange for what it takes from faith, except to offer something we do not know in return for what we believed. The mental slave is one who for a price will barter views against his real belief. Faith is best proven by the doubts that its strength overcomes. It is easy to forgive the mistakes that men make for the sake of a principle and on the right side of human nature. The most beautiful hope in life's night- time is the hand of love pointing with faith and encouragement towards the dawn of morning. Individual opinion and originality stand high and clear above popularity, and we all, mentally at least, bow be- fore it. The high, gentle, generous acts of self- sacrificing love alone proves the divinity of devotion. Mental conviction is worthless unless substantiated by physical action. LOYALTY. IIV AHTHIII G.

Concerning fhe Dining Car Service of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad It is unexcelled. If you have any doubts, investigate it for yourself and draw your own conclusions. The Railway Com- pany operates it, looks after details; likes to receive compliments if it pleases; and complaints if it does not. The service is a la carte when it is deemed advisable, and table d'hote when the hours suggest a full course dinner. The menu and service throughout is oper- ated lor the benefit and pleasure of our patrons. If it can be improved in any way we will be glad to receive suggestions. E. V.

The Baltimore iS: Ohio Railroad made its entry into Chicago on November 1, 1874, giving the city another ini|)ortant trunk line outlet to the seaboard cities, and has been an important factor in the wonderful development of this great commercial center.
