Tbe Old Oaken Bucket.
How dear to thi heart are the acenaa of
my childhood,
When fond recollection present them
view!
The orchard, the meadow, the deep tan
gled wild wood,
And every loved apot which my In
fancy knew; -
The wide-spreading pond, the mill which
stood by it.
The bridge, and the rook where the
cataract fell;
The cot of my father, the dairy-house
nigh it,
And e'en the rude bucket which hung
iu the well
The old oakeu bucket, the iron-bound
bucket,
The mosit-covered bucket which hong In
the well.
That moan-covered vessel I hail as a
treasure;
For often, at noon, when returned from
the field,
I found it the aource of an exquisite
pleasure,
The pureft and aweetest that nature
can yield.
How ardent I seized it, with hands that
were glowing!
And quick to the white-pebbled bottom
it fell;
Then soon, with the emblem of truth
overflowing,
And dripping with coolness, it rose
from the well
The old oaken bucket, the iron-bound
bucket.
The moss-covered bucket arose from the
well.
How aweet from the green, mossy brim
to receive it,
As, poised on the curb, it inclined to
my lips!
Jot a full blushing goblet could tempt
me to leave it.
Though filled with the nectar that
Jupiter sipH.
And, now far removed from the loved
situation.
The tear of regret will intrusively
well.
As fancy reverts to my father's planta
tion. And sighs for the bucket which hangs
In the well
The old oaken bucket, the iron-bonnd
bucket.
The moss-covered bucket which hangs
In the well.

It must not be supposed that llviug

lonesome. She has a pretty little cot

son, the latter lielug supervisor of the
village of .Stony Point.
To the north of the cottage, but a

ground, stands the larger light house

until the lee gets so thick that eveu

In a long time the season Is so mild
that Mrs. Hose's lights shine every

RUNNING A LIE TO EARTH.
It la neaBeUaaea a Bard Task, bat It
Pays Wheal uccaaaful.
Probably the most Impossible, hope
less task on earth la to overtake a
lie. The other day ex-8peaker John
O. Carlisle, now a successful lawyer
for great corporations, with an old
fasbloned home In North Washington
square, passed along Pine street with
the easy gait of a plow horse. Two
citizens saluted him and when he had
passed on one remarked; "TheTe
used to be the making of a President
hi that man. The entire country look
ed upon him. If It had not been for
his Cynthlana speech the Northern
Democracy would have been solid for
blm and, of course, he owned the
Southern wing. The apeeeh ruined
him. He retired from polities with
a broken heart and settled In New
York to make a Utile money."
Here Is an extract from that famous,
heartrending speech:
"I deny that the United State Is a
nation! It l a vicious system that
has destroyed sovereign States and op
pressed nine millions of people in the
South, If a State has no right of se
cession she certainly has no right of
revolution. The moat Infamous order
ever Issued was that of tbe attorney
general only a few days ago, which
caused sixty companies of soldiers to
march to South Carolina to take charge
of the ballot box and overawe the vot
ers of that P"or, downtrodden State,
tbe paradise of earTM-t-bnggers and
scalawag. II tit the day will come
when South Carolina will rid herself
Of the barbarous political buzzards of
the North that huve fed on her car
cass for the last eleven years and rob
bed white and black without discrim
ination." For ten years Mr. Carlisle tried to
run down that report of his Cynthlana
speech, but It had too big a lead. At
one time he thought It overtaken and
sidetracked, but several years later
the Tribune of this city resurrected it
in the original form. Mr. Carlisle ex
plained; "I did not say that the gov
ernment Is a 'vicious system,' but that
at that time tbe policy of the ndmtn
tratlon was vicious; I always held that
the constitutional right to secede did
not exist; there was no verbatim re
port of the speech, for no resirter was
present; an opposition paper picked up
from the audience a few stray recollec
tions of what I said, strung them to
gether and published them." Rut the

I he design of the woodwork is both

The stories are overhanging and

The molding above the milled head,
which Is probably a crest, Is early
Tudor, and beneath It appear Tudor
roses. The pilasters of the other story
posts are carved with acanthus leaves
and roses. Under the ground floor some
carved stones, evidently parts of win
dow tract ry, were brought to light.
They are In the thlrtetrnth century
style and were probably taken from
the remains of the old Church of the
Holy Cross, which was pulled down
about the end of the fifteenth century.
Early In the nineteenth century the
h nise was "beautified" by the stucco
covering, which has now happily dis
appeared. The entire building Is being

OPINIONS OF GREAT PAPERS ON IMPORTANT SUBJECTS
Let Reason Prevail.
ACROSS the country strikes are In prospect or under
way; and mingled wltb the reports la the announce
ment that the employers have united to resist the de
sired advance in pay and what they are pleased to
term the unreaaooabl demand of unionized workers.
Thla clashing of Interests Is most unfortunate. Its pro
longation means the postponement of the erection of numer
ous buildings and the abandonment altogether of many
more. Perhaps 1,000,000 men are idle because of the strikes
in the building trades, and this entails a loss of $:s,000,000
a day In wages to the tollers, much of which can never lie
regained even with the resumption of work.
These disturbances are the Invariable accompaniment of
prosperity, the only regrettable feature of an otherwise
'most satisfactory condition. As business increases the cost
of living goes up, and then the wage earner,, desiring to
participate in the improvement, asks an equitable share of
the returns of capital. Sometimes this Is fully met; again
only partly so; In Instances ignored completely. Out of
the dissatisfaction come strikes and occasionally lockouts.
This In turn breeds hatred between the employer and em
ploye where before amicable relations existed. From every
point of view the. situation ia deplorable.
Employers are organizing to au extent never before
known. The workingmen are powerful and confident of
carrying to a successful Issue anything they wage battle
for. With both sides well equipped and determined a des
perate struggle Is ahead and can only be avoided by treat
ing the questions leading up to It with calmness, with fair
ness, with the 'idea uppermost that exact Justice must be
done to both parties. With this spirit dominating capitalist
and workingman a way out of the difficulty can be found
honorable alike to each. Let. reason prevail and the strikes
and lockouts will be a thing of the paHt. L'tica Globe.
The Successful Man.
THE real successful man must combine in himself
giod stock, physical health, education, mental pene
tration and concentration, persistency, energy, enthus
iasm, cheerfulness of disposition and politeness of
demeanor.
Moral qualities are Indispensable to true success. They
are important In securing merely earthly advancement.
There is a tendency in virtue to temporal prosperity.
Not all good people prosper, but the rule Is that virtue
has an earthly reward. The healthiest, wealthiest and
wisest nations of the earth are the ones where the standard
of morals Is the highest.
Benevolence Is an element of success. There Is a law
of benevolence Which seems to run through all human
endeavor. ,
The man who tills the farm that his fellows may have
food and raiment, who builds a house where a home Ms en
shrined and a family raised, who founds a business where
Just wages are paid, who makes at any trade a needed
article, who contributes to the natural welfare of men, is a
real benefactor.
Thero Is not a learned profession which does not express
a benevolent spirit. Generosity pays; there Is a giving
which gets, a throwing away of seed on the ground which
comes back In an increased harvest.
In the arithmetic of life, subtraction ia often addition
and division Is multiplication. He who most faithfully
serves his customers, clients, patients, scholars, purchasers,
employes, employer, will, as a rule, have the largest tem
poral success.
He only is fit for mastery In any calling who serves
best. Tbe leader of a nation can have no royalty like that
of serving the humblest subjects of his realm. New York

Where Theory Fails,
THE Collegiate Alumnae Association having "discov
ered" how a. family of four persons can live on .19.78
cents a day for food, we are once more brought to the
oft-discussed question of how little money a human
being can exist upon.
The boasted discovery, however, Is not a discovery after
nil. for there are in Chicago to-day a great many thousand
families who discovered It for themselves long before the
Collegiate Association thought of It. There are countless
families that discovered, from sheer force of necessity, that
a family can Isvc on much less than ten cents a day, per
capita.

Thomas W. Fisher's disappearance
more than ten years ago attracted a
great deal of Interest. He was a. real
estate broker In Washington, and, as
was his usual custom, ho one evening
went to Baltimore to visit the young
woman to whom he was engaged. The
couple became Involved In a dispute
over a trivial matter, and the young
woman declared their engagement off.
Mr. Fisher left the house, and, after
wandering nbout the streets for some
time, left Baltimore for New York.
He at once wrote to his former fiancee,
apologizing for his rude conduct and
begging her forgiveness, but she was
bent upon punishing him and did not
reply to his letter. Fisher then left
New York and went to Albany, from
which place he wrote again to the
young woman, saying that he would
not bur -len her again with his peti

suicide. 'I be young woman then re

be tbe fact Is a natural consequence of tbe Invasion of tbe
great cities by people ill-prepared to earn a living In thef
city. A poor man, with a family and without any speciab
business or trade. Is more apt to find himself reduced to tbe
10-cents a-day table tban otherwise.
There should be some means of helptng these thousands
of ill-advised, incompetent, enslaved men to a more Inde
pendent livelihood. The first thing that suggests itself lay
farming. There are obstacles in the way, of course. Moat
of the city poor are ignorant of agriculture, and contemptu
ous of It. Tbe city has fascinations for them, even greater
than its hardships. Kducatlou, both in the spirit and meth
ods of cultivating the land. Is tbe prime requisite. How to
bring about this education is the problem that has troubled
many minds Interested In enticing the crowded poor into
the country.
But other forms of education are more easily available.;
Every boy should be embarked upon some definite plan of,
life. If lie is not to be a farmer, he should be taught a
trade or business that will lie tolerably sure to command
more than a 10-cents-a-day fare In after life, and not left to
grow up a general roustabout. The time may come when
the public scheme of education may embrace some such
policy. Until then the fathers of the land are largely re
sponsible for their sons' futures. Chicago Journal.
American Railroad Rates.
ONE by one the old Ultlander complaints against the
Transvaal administration are being vindicated. The
latest is that concerning railroad rates. It was said
that the excessively high rates charged by the state
railroads under the Kruger monopoly were a grave handi
cap to nearly all industry and were absolutely prohibitive
to many enterprises. Those railroada are now under British
administration. It Is interesting to observe what action
has been taken toward remedying the grievance of high,
rates.
Ixird Milner states that the reductions made will amount
in gross to $3,750,000 a year. That Is a large sum to be
saved to the industries of South 'Africa. It means a re
duction of 40 per cent on freight rates on food and general
supplies for workingmen, of 25 per cent on the great mass)
of miscellaneous freight, and of from 10 to 15 per cent on
cement, iron and steel and other heavy goods. Some re
ductions in ocean freight rates have also been made by
the steamship lines plying between England and the Cape.'
These changes will all go into effect on July 1.
It is authoritatively estimated that this reduction oC
rates on supplies for the mines will make possible the
profitable operations of no fewer than one hundred low
grade mines, with an output of 160,000,000 a year. It will
mean a proportionate Increase of profits to mines now in
operation. It will also mean a marked development of!
agricultural and other Industries, tending to make the
Transvaal a country of varied and symmetrical growth.
At the same time the volume of traffic will be so Increased
that the railroads will actually be more profitable undee
the lower than they were under the higher rates. Sucbi
results will le a strong vindication of tbe new administra
tion. New York Tribune.

It would have been the greatest curse Imaginable to the
human race. The reason given for this seemingly extrav
agant statement was that the moral and social origin of
the disease would have been neglected, and the relation
of moral and physical disease can never be safely Ignored;
Malum and morbus are often the same, at least so Intimate
ly connected that one cannot be eliminated from human life
without the other. The most striking proof of this now
conies out in the fact that Koch himself admits and eveu
preaches that the great decrease in the death rate from
tuberculosis has been and will still he due to sanitary and
social betterment, "but chiefly to the improvement In the
condition of the workingmen's lives through government
insurance, etc. In other words, what may be called the
morals of Infectious diseases are being recognized. The
conditions that breed and scatter physical contagion are
precisely those that degrade and morbldize the soul and
character, tightness of physical living is necessary to
righteousness, and vice versa. Koch, the author of tuber
culin, forgot this truth; Koch, the sanitarian, now preaches
