GEORGE WASHINGTON,
He lives in the hearts of Imh countryincn ever
Who planted among uh fair liherty's tree;
He peacefully sleejis by the beautiful river
That kisses his grave as it Hows to the sea ;
Ami millions unborn will give ear to the story
Of Washington's deeds round the universe told,
And over his sword is a halo of glory,
And the names of his battles will never grow old.
The land that he loved will not lack a defender
While shines in the heavens our destiny's star,
Or floats in the sunlight our flag in its splendor,
In peace ever glorious, triumphant in war;
Mount Vernon, our Mecca, we'll turn to thee ever.
Thy tomb is the shrine of the noble and free,
And brighter and dearer will grow the great river
That carols of him as it glides to the sea,
His Start In Life.

school education. I was a lank looking
yout g fellow, with 'hayseed' iitten all
over me; but, I like many another nw

to the city, where I soon expected to
strike the combination that would lead to
fortune and fame. But before long my
main thought was to keep from starving
I could get no work, and nobody would
listen to me when I asked for it. I tried
to keep up my courage, but in my heart
I would have given anything lo be back

on the fat of the land. At first the wild
t'tougbl came into my head to slat' out
myself una careerotor I mean of re
vivalism iiucr the name of 'Charley, ti e
fjtiverted Buy Fiend,' and rake in the
shekels like 'Billy.' But somehow I
felt I couldn't get down as low as llmt.
A brilliant thought struck me, howev.r.
I would state the whole thing in an ad
vertisement, more to relieve my feelings
than with any hope of getting an an
swer. "So I scraped enough money together
to ins rt the following in one of the
papers: ' If I were a drunken 'bum"
just taken out of the gutter, scores of
kiud religions pij.iple w tuld stretch nut a
hand tn help me But as I am oDly a
decent and scif respecting young man.
with no vices nr had habits, I am withnul
work and starving in this great, cruel
city.' And I added my initials aud ad
dress. " I'he next day I called to see if there
might possibly be an answer and got two.
'I was touched by your strange advertise
ment, as I myself was once in the 8;ine
portion. I found help through a noble
Christian man, and if you will call and
see me I will prove to you that there is
a Christian who is able aod willing to
help you if you are worthy. Ask to see me
per-mnidly, as I am sorry to say my part
ner is an infidel, and, though a good man,
he might not be disposed to look at your
cise so kindly.'
' My heart jumped with j y on reading
this kind letter, and for a little while I
forgot the other ono. But I soon opened
it and read as follows: 'I was deeply
stirred by the undertone of despair in
your advertisement, as I was once as
friendless as you are. I found a start in
lite tproujjn a noole man who, like my-
If, was an unbeliver. And if you will
call and see me I will prove to you that
there is an unbeliever who is both able
and willing to give you a start in life if
you are worthy. Ask to see me person
ally, as my partner is a Christian, and,
though a good man, he might not be
disposed to look on your case kindly.'
"Wonderful coincidence, wasn't it?
But the most wonderful part of the story
is yet to Do told. 1 hese two men were
partners. E.ich one of them was trying
to do a good deed without the knowl
edge of the other.
"The end of the story? Well, that
was interesting and remarkable too. After
trying in vain to decide to which of these
two gentlemen I should make myself
known I determined to see them together
aod read the two letters to them. I did
so, aud you ought to havo seen the look
of biuuk surprise llial uuiut over the facts
of both men as they learned that, though
differing so widely in creed, they w, re as
one in acknowledging the religion of hu
manity. They were silent for few mo
ments, and then the Christian, with tears
in his eyes, grasped the hand of his part
ner and said :
" 'Brother, I have wronged you, for 1
have learned that, without knowing it,
you are not far from the kingdom of
heaven.'
'It is I who have wronged you,' ex
claimed his partner, 'in assuming that
you would not obey the teaching of your
Master to feed the hungry and clothe
the naked. Let us herealler live as
brothers iudeed, even though we may
not be able to proless the same creed
And may the unknown Uod whom we
ignorautly worship accept us at last.'
' These two good men gave me a Btart
and were my dearest friends until they
died. The moral of it all? Well, I
thiuk there is more goodness io the
world than can be enshrined in any creed,
h iwever true." New York Tribuue.

PLAINT OF THE INNOCENT BYSTANDER.
She was bred in old Kentucky,
Where the ballot-box is stuffed;
Where the gentle poker-player
Never yet was really bluffed;
Where rivers murmur sweetly,
Aod the meadow-grass is blue;
And the doubt-dispelling shotgun
Sends conviction into you;
Where the sky is ever lovely,
Aud the sweetest songs are sung,
Aod the lii-.noecut bystander
Gets a bullet in hi ,'jn. '.
Where the ladies all tiro pretty
And the gentlemen are brave;
Where the just-observed bystander
Gels a decorated grave.
Diop their "t's" so where they
Softly when they hold achat with you;
And the innocent bystander
Often has to be dropped,
Too. Where the candidate who's beaten
Uises up and says he's nit,
Whereupon the said bystander
Carries off a load of shut.
Where the brerze is ever
Sighing through the leaves a serenade;
Aod you see the constant dishing
Ul the buwic'a gleaming blade I
Oh, she's down there in Kentucky,
Waitiug till I come for her,
But as long as things are this way,
From this spot I'll never stir.
I must leave her iu Kentucky
Thitherward I'll not meander
I am not afraid, but I am just an
Itinocent bystander.

forward the bride whooped and kicked
an hour or more !"
