WEAVING.
rLOSCXCE MAT ALT.
My life is but a weaving
Between my God and me ;
I may but choose the colors
He worketb steadily.
For oft He weaveth sorrow ;
And, I, in fyolUb pride,
Forget He tees the upper,
And I the under side,
I choose my strands all golJen,
And watch for woven stars ;
I murmur when tbe pattern
la set in blurs and mars.
I cannot yet remember
Whose hands the shuttles guide ;
And that my stars are shining
Upon the upir side.
I choose my threads all crimson.
And wait for flowers to bloom,
For w arp and woof to blossom "
Upon that mighty loom.
Full of I seek them vainly ;
And fret for them denied
Though fljw'ring wreaths anJurL ids
Slay detk the upper side.
My life U but a weaving
Ileteen my Cod and me ;
I see the seams, the littigles
The fair designs sees He.
Then let me wait in patience
And blindness; satisfied
To make tbe pattern lovely
Upon the upper tide.
A CURIOUS CASE.
"I am sorry to say, Klake, that I am
under the impression that you w ill lose
th:tt ca.se." said lXxl worth to tue as be
entered my btore and took a Beat
lod worth is not only ruy lawyer, but
also iny trusted friend. We sat side by
side in town school and graduated from
Frinceton in the same year.
The case be referred to w as one of long
standing between myself and a shoe
manufacturer named Fairfax. Some six
months before Fairfax had supplied me
w ith a large quantity of uppers of an in
ferior grade from those which I bad or
dered, and now be was trying to make
me pay for tbem. I bad demanded a re
duction on tbe invoice price from Fair
fax one day when I met him on the
street, and to this be bad made an oral
agreement but now be demurred and in
ten led to sue for the full amount
"But I on prove that be agreed to a
reduction of 15 per cent," I replied rath
er nettled to find that my friend did not
think I bad a clear case.
"How can you prove it?" be asked dry
I v.
"Why, he said so himself, at all evenU.'
"That is no proof. If you tax bim
about it in court be will, of coarse, say
you are entirely mistaken, and there you
are. If there w as some ouusnle party wit
ness to the bargain"
"There was."
"Who was it V
"Ah, that was the truth. Ever since I
bad defied Fairfax to go to 1a w and col
lect the bill I bad been trying to think
of tbe gentleman who had been with me
on that occasion. It was some one I did
not know very well, and I had forgotten
him w ithin the hour, and now try my
best I could not recall either his face or
his name.
"If you can tell mc who this party is I
will call on bim and see if he recollects
the matter," went on my friend. "If he
dies you are safe, if not your case goes to
pieces."
"Fairfax must know him," I replied.
"That Kn't the point Do yon know
him?"
"Yes ; but I can't recall him now."
"Well, try your best to do so during
the day. I w ill call again bite this after
noon."
With these words Dod worth passed out
of tbe place, leaving ine very busy with
my thoughts.
I had a mass of figuring to do that day,
but I cant it all aside, and I did my best
to follow his instructions. But though I
smoked up half a dozen cigars and near
ly stared the plaster offtheceiling. I ar
rived at no satisfactory conclusion. Once
or twice I fancied I had the name cf the
witness on my tongue's end, but it slip
ped back before I could utter it Finally
I threw away three-nuarters of the last
. a. 1 t li-
e.gar and turned to my worx, reaoivou 10
Iom half a dozen cases rather than to
think myself into an iostne asylum.
Dodworth came back at 5 o'clock and
cheerily asked what luck.
"None," I replied. "I ceuldn't think
of that man's name if my life depended
on it"
"Then you had belter pay np and have
the case quashed."
"Not a bit of it,". I said stubbornly. "I
want you to Cght biin all you can. Put
him cider the closest cross-examination
you possibly can devise." .
"Ob, of course I'd do that, if you insist
on going ahead. I only want you to be
prepared for defeat, if it comes."
"I w ill be."
"I've got another plan," he went on,
rubbing his chin slowly. "Suppose yon
put a personal in the leading papers.
Tbe witness may possibly see it"
I shook my head. I was under the im
pression that tbe witness was a business
man himself, and if so, it was not likely
that he was in the habit of perusing the
personal column of any newspaper.
"Well, suit yourself," said Dodworth,
shrugging his shoulders. "I only thought
you wanted to do all that 'could be done."
"Well, go ahead and write out the per
sonals." I returned, "simply to please
him.
Writing np the advertisement was no
easy matter. Both of as tried oar hands
at it and made a number of failures be
fore we produced tbe following:
Witness Wasted. Will the gentleman
who overheard a certain business trans
action concerning a redaction in the in
voice price of a quantity ofuppera kindly
communicate with "Dealer," this office?
"Fairfax may see that and then he will
know just bow weak we are," said I,
when the writing was finished.
"That is true," replied Dodworth, 'Twit
there is nothing else to do, and it is your
hut hope."
" When shall we insert them 7"
"Have yonr boy take them to the
different offices at once, then they will
appear in to-morrow's issues."
I did as he advised. Late on tbe fol
lowing day I had received two replies
one from a paper in which the personal
had not been (inserted, advising me to
try its columns, and one from a private
detective, who; was willing to work op the
case for a proper fee.
I paid no attention to either of these
set
ESTABLISHED 1837.
letters. At the same time I was served
with a notice to the effect that the case
would come np in the regular county
court held in an adjoining town on the
following Tuesday.
"I suppose I am in for it," I said to
Dodworth.
"I'm afraid you are, Blake. Yon would
have been better off if you had taken
my advice in the first place. However,
I will do the bet I can for yon."
"I know you wilL I want you to let
everyone know that the reason I dont
pay the bill is because I think Fairfax a
swindler.
"I'll make it hot for him," laughed my
friend.
But for all this the outcome of the
matter worried me not a little. It was
not because I would have to pay seveal
hundred dollars if I lost the case, but it
was having a judgment rendered agairst
me. This is something every true busi
ness man hates to have occur.
I p&i'xed Saturday and Sunday in a
most uncomfortable frame of mind. On
tbe latter day I went to church with my
wife, but all through the service I could
not help trying to think of the name or
face of the witness that w as wanted to
save me. I endeavored to run alphabet
ically through a lut of my friends, and
followed this up by thinking first of all
the brown-headed men I knew, theu the
black-beaded and finally the bald-headed.
But it was all to no purpose, and I
gave a groan that made my wife think I
was asleep and she gave me a nudge in
the ribs to awaken me.-
"I've got to go to llamstone to-day,"
said Dodworth, aa he entered lay store
early Monday morning, "and I won't be
able to see you again before the trial.
But that doesn't matter, for I've got the
whole thing laid out as far as it will go.
Be sure and meet me at the Liberty court
house at 9 o'clock to-morrow morning."
I promised that I would.
"And if yon can find that witness bring
him along," he added as he went out of
the door.
I promised this also. But there was
no use trying to think who the man was.
It was worse than chasing a phantom,
and by night I was half inclined to think
that I was mistaken and there had not
bene any witness at all.
"Well, how About that case of yours
and Fairfax's?" asked my wife that
evening.
"I am afraid I am going to lose it" I
replied.
"Lose it!" she exclaimed. "Why, I
thought you were perfectly sure of win
ning."
"I would be if it wasnt tliat I can't for
the life of me think of a certain witness'
name."
"Did you know the witness?"
"Quite well."
"And you can't think of his name?"
"'ot the first letter of it"
"Then why dont you go to him and
ask what it is?"
"I would if I could remember who he
WAS."
My wife pursed np her lips and smil
ed coldly.
"Seems to me I could think of a per
son's name if it was as important as
all this," she said.
I did not have any doubts but what
Bhe could. But then women are vastly
different from men.
I passed a resiles night I dreamed
that I was in the court room, and the
case was in full sway. Fairfax was hav
ing eveiying his own way, and the jurors
were looking at me with clouded brows
And doubtful shakes of their heads. Evi
dently I was judged to be a close busi
nesa man. who was trying his best to
squeeze out of an honest debt
'And so vou say there was a witness
to this transaction?" I dreamed Fair
fax's lawyer said. "Who was it ?"
It was only for a second that I hesita
ted. Then I answered in a plain matter
of fact tone :
"Mr. George Ardell."
"Who is he?"
"A shoe dealer of llamstone."
"Is he here?"
"He is."
And with this I dreamed Mr, Ardell
stepped forward and put in his evidence,
and after this the case was ail in my fa
vor, for Fairfax ha In t a leg left to stand
on.
And then I dreamod how thankful I
was that my memory had served me so
ell. and whAt a fool I thought I had
been to have forgotten At all, And a good
drial more of similar stuff, nntil 1 awoke
ith A start and found mvself sitting up-
ight in the bed, with my wife wide
awake beside me.
For gracious sake, John, what is the
matter?" she cried.
"I've found out who that witness was !"
I exclaimed. "I just dreamed About the
whole thing."
And who is it?" she asked, with A
considerable show of interest.
"Why, it came to me just as easy as
anything could," I weut on. "I was in
the court room and the lawyer asked me
to name the man I said I said"
And then I did my best to think of
what I had said.
Well.whAt?"
Why, I ssid it was" I ran my hands
through my hair lutlf a dozen times.
Why, confound thing! I've forgotten it
Again!" And true enough that name
and face bad slipped through my mind
orce more. There was no use trying to
bring it back either. It wouldn't come,
And After spending two hours in the easy
cbsir trying to coax the thing to return
I gave up in despair.
"I think after this when you meet any
one you had better put it down in your
notebook V said my wife at the break
fast table.
But then, she was slightly cross be
cause law ;ke her two hours before the
regular time.
At 8 o'clock I took the train for liber
ty, and Arriving there niAde my way At
once to the court house. I was feeling
pretty blue, And it did not help my spir
its when the ti ne for the case to open
came And Dodworth had not yet put in
An appearance.
"Fairfax against Blake," called out tbe
clerk, and at that moment my lawyer ap
peared at the doorway.
Missed two trains hunting np your
witness!" he exclaimed. "But I got
him and brought him along. I left him
in the hallway so as to give Fairfax a
surprise.
"You've got the witness?" I gasped.
Who is it r
JULY 27, 1892.
"Mr. George Ardell, a shoe dealer of
llamstone."
"Why, of course, that is the very man,"
I cried in high delight "Why couldn't
I think of him ? Does he remember the
case?"
"Perfectly."
"And how did you run against him ?"
"I'll tell you after the triAl. But say,
put down his name so aa not to forget it
when you Are on the stand.' '
And without a murmur I did as direct
ed.
The case was soon in full sway. I gave
in my testimony and it was corroborated
by Mr. Ardell in every particular. The
jury brought in a verdict within ten min
utes. It was for the plaintiff for the
amount of the bill, less 15 per cent, with
the cost of the suit to be paid by Fairfax.
I was perfectly satisfied, and Dod worth,
the w itneas and myself left the building

"Now tell me how you found out about
Ardell," said I, as we sat down at tbe
hotel to have dinner at my expense.
"It was a curious thing," replied Dod
worth. "Did you notice how Fairfax
stared at me w ben I arose as your law
yer?" "Yes."
"Well, I slept with that man last
night It happened tliat we both step
ped over at llamstone, and at the same
hotel. Tbe town is crowded with men
on account of some reunion, and the
clerk said that I couldn't have a room,
but if I was willing to share with anoth
be w uld fix me up. I said all right
ami lie put me in with Fairfax.
"I saw at ouce who he was, but be
didn't know me from Adam, And I didn't
let on. We went to bed And he was soon
sound asleep.
"I lay awake thinking over your case,
And wandering whether you or the man
besides me would win. I guess he must
have had the same thing in mind, for
pretty soon he began to toss and talk in
his sleep.
'I've got you, Blake,' said he. "You
can't win this case, Blake.' These words
made me wide awake, and I listened
eagerly for whatever might follow.
"Pretty euoD i.e took another tosa.
"M don't care if George Ardell was
there,' he murmured ; 'he won't remem
ber a thing About it not a thing. I'll
win this case, Blake. What Ardell
knows won't help you a bit
"He continued to talk in this strain for
a long time, And I drank in every word.
In the morning I was the first up, and
you can make up your mind that I
wasn't long in finding out who Mr. Ar
dell was, and then I set out to find him.
I had considerable trouble, but when I
did it was all right, and you know the
rest"
Such was Dod worth's explanation.
When be had finished I told the other
two of my dream, and all three of us
agree that from beginning to end the
case was a curious one. Buffalo Arc.

Released from Prison on $10.
OOO Bail.
PiTTSBi atiH, July 20. The second skir
mish in the legal battle between the Car
nege Steel Com pony and th strikers was
begun this morning before Judge Magee,
when the application for the release of
Burgess John McLnckie was called up.
There was a large crowd present chiefly
made np of Homestead people.
Before court opened there was a group
of three or four men from Homestead on
every corner near the Court house, And
these men kept watch on Alderman Mc
Masters' office, and especially on tbe
movements of Constable Webber, who is
too large to easily keep out of sight It
was rumored that several of the men
wanted by the Constable wer in the
room, but no one seemed to be certain of
their identity.
Shortly after 0JM o'clock this morning
Judge Magee came into court, and a few
minutes fitter Messrs. Eobb, -.Patterson
and Breck, counsel for tbe prosecution.
Arrived, followed by Attorney s Cox And
Brennan, representing the defense.)
Attorney Cox soon came in, and said
ihey had not yet decided about making
information againsl the Carnegie officials,
and said that they would not be made to
day.
Among those present from Homestead
were Messrs. Carney and Roberts, and
other well-known workers.
None of the Carnegie people were pres
ent. At 9:-V) Mr. P.rennan Again formal
ly presented the petition for the release
of Burgess McLuckie, and the rase was
ojiened.
After listening to all the testimony and
address. Judge Magee fixed the Amount
of Burgess McLuckie's bail At ten thous
and dollars.
Owen Murphy and O. C. Coon of Home
stead, went on the bond, and McLuckie
was released,
Before granting bail Judge Magee
id:
" I have made it my business to care
fully go over this case, and unless there
was some good defense I would make it
murder in the first degree. I wish to say
that the law makes every man, who
stands idly by, w ithout any effort to sup
press rioting and disorder, liable. Such
man is responsible for all the consequence
of tbe disorder and rioting, either wheth
er such rioting results in tbe loss of prop
erty or tbe loss of life. No matter what
the result every such man is equally
guilty for such degree cf crime as the
facts and results warrant. This may be
murder in the first degree or second. I
feel that in the case of Mr. McLuckie bis
crime, if any, does not reach that of mur
der in the first degree, and am therefore
glad there was no objection made to Lis
release on baiL"
Mr. Cox" I would like to know what
disposition the Court will make of the
cases of the other men for whom war
rants have been issued."
Mr- Burleigh " We cannot and will
not dispose of a case of a man who has
evaded arrest and is in hiding."
Mr. Cox" Well, they will all come in
and surrender if this matter of bail is
fixed r
Judge Magee "How can we do that?
Each case should be disjiosed of. Some
of these men may be guilty of murder in
the first degree, and, if so, U3 bail shall
be taken. There was a riot there, per
haps unjustifiable but certainlylsome one
was killed deliberately. If a man gels
up a tree, and deliberately kills a man,
as was done at Homestead, be is guilty of
murder in the first degree. Some of
these men may be tbe men who dild
this, if it was done.
"These men must be disposed of
through the advice and consent of the
proper officer, the District Attorney, and
we can make no disposition of their case
till he has exarr.ined tbe testimony and
advises the Court"
" In view of the gravity of the crime,
and fell circumstances, I feel warranted
in placing the bail at f 10,000."
McLuckie received an ovation upon
his release. He tooknattcrs coolly, and
said :
" I never had any doubt about my be
ing released on bail, and when the time
comes, I will have no trouble in showing
my innocence. I did just what Judge
Magee said should be done ; tried to pre
vent any disorder or bloodshed, and all
my efforts were directed to that end. I
had a good rest in jai', au-1 am better
able to do my duty than before."

A Many-Sided President
President Harrison's address before
the National Educational association at
Saratoga was characterized at one by
genial brightness and homely good sense.
So constant was the play of his wit and
pleasantry that his sedate And intellect
ual audience of well seasoned teachers
was convulsed with merriment ; yet
there was withal so much that was acute
in his 1 observations, so much that w as
philosophical in his reflections that this
body of trained educators left his pres
ence with increased respect for the Pres
idential office and with an enlarged con
sciousness of the dignity of their calli ng
And tbe importance of their work. There
Are few public men who would care to do
more Uiau to exchange commonplace re
marks and polite compliments with an
assembly of National educators of high
reputation. The President is a many-
sided man. He speaks invaribly from a
full mind, And with naturalness And
simplicity has something wise And
thoughtful to say whenever he meets s
representative body of Americans.
There was something quaint in the
suggestion that it is quite as appropriate
that tbe President should review the
teachers of the land as that he should re
view its Army or its militia. But how
logical it seemed when it was followed by
the reflection that the strength And de
fence of National institutions, not only
in peace, b it also in war, are to be found
in the educated youth of the country !
The teacher's highest function in the
President's judgment is to give to educa
tion a safe direction. If in family And
school are taught the elements of moral i
ity, good citizenship, obedience to law
And enlightened patriotism, education
cannot be an undirected or misdirected
power. In this elevated strain the Presi
dent went on to discuss the modern de
velopment oi educational processes, to
forecast a period when there should not
be found sn Adult citizen of the United
States without the elements of school
tnining, And to encourage the patient
workers before him to take the highest
views ol the great business in which they
were engaged. "It has sn element of
life," be remarked, "that no other work
has. If not crowns of wealth, if not tht
luxury and ease of great fortune art
yours, yours will he moreertduringcrown
if it can be said of yoa that in every
touch upon the life of the young you
have lifted it up."
It is fortune that tbe President ha
emphasized in this way the importance
of National education and the superioi
dignity of teaching as a profession. This
is the Colurajbus year, when retrospects
of the four centuries of progress since the
greatest discovery of history are forced
upon reflecting minds. What has made
the difference between the disordered
and often times reactionary social and
political development of the southern
half of the New World And the orderly
And progressive evolution of Northern
civilization? The lack of school houses
in Spanish America, and the multiplica
tion of them in town and in country, in
English America. This is tbe most im
portant moral cf the Columbus year. It
is National education which has tle
velojd the moral force of public opin
ion throughout the United Slates. Not
only should the fl ig float over the school
houses as a pign that each and everyoui
is a stronghold of civil governm ent, bul
every American should also look upon
education as the supreme interest of the
nation, and respect the great army ol
teachers as a patriotic and high-mindet
garrison upholding the welfare and ex
istence of society and protecting the in
stitution of liberty and progress. .We

A Little Hero.
The ful'ocing story comes from Oil
City, and tbe princijals were participa
tors in the awful calamity of two months
ago.
"Tales of the bravery of persons who
escaped are plenty and interesting. Wil
lie AsL, the eight-year-old son of Isaac
Ash, the venerable city solicitor of Oi!
City, is probably the bravest little hero of
this awful calamity. Sunday morning
Willie and bis father were walking near
the Seneca street bridge. As they reach
ed that crowded thoroughfare, tbe first
explosion of the series that laid waste so
much of the town and cost so many per
sons their lives, rent the air, and the ter
ror-stricken people started for the hill
side to escape the flood and fire.
" Mr. Ash and his boy were jostled
about in the throng of half-crazed men,
women and children. They j-iined in
the ruin, and were soon being half car
ried, half-dragged toward the upper
bills. Asthey passed Seneca stieet Mr.
Ash stooped down to pick up bis boy and
carry him to a place of safety, but Will
objected.
" I can walk as well as you, Papa," h.
said, " And if you carry me we may both
die."
A few paces ahead the father and son
stopped au instant to look back, and the
Utile fellow spoke again.
If I could die, papa," be said, then
you coo Id rave yourself."
"The big ttais wtlkd np in tbe fa
ther's eyes, but through the mist he saw
that tl e death-dealing fire had taken an
other course, sweeping westward. Tbe
old man and bis boy were not in
its path, and were able to reach their
home in safety.

negotiation of the agreements has involv

A Eoltom'ess Fot.
An East Sidedealtr ia New Yoik was
recently m-de the. object o: a swindle
that was rather novel atd origical A
middle nged woman came iuto hi store
one day carrying on her arm a late bas
ket, in which was a pot with a lid. -he
placed the basket on the tbior, ma 1 nu
merous purchases, had her bill counted
np, and then carefully put all her article
into the pot au-1 replaced the lid with
the greatest caution. Sho next asked
permission of ihe storekeeper to leave the
articles in his care, sha wihe d to do a
little more shoiipiiijj in the neighbor
hood, promising to return in ti.e cour-e
of an boar.
This reqjest was wi'lim! y s ceded 'o
and lifting the pot out cfthe la ktsla
carried it carefully to a corner, white it
would be out of the wa, s.-t it don and
azain slipping the bas'iet un Vr her arm,
left the store, after profu.-v.-ly thankirg the
man for his kindnes-t. Hours went by,
but the woman failed to call f jr her pre
cious pot. At la.-t, when ciunin time
came, a gales nan went over to the correr
for the purpose of placinc the earthen
ware in a safer place an i q j'i kly d.wov
ered that, like a certain locality to m hi-h
sinnrs are supposed to be coiis.netl af

mention of a pot is now sufficient reason
to cause the victimized dea'tr to go into
convulsions.
