TWO VIEWS OF LIFE. Ob , what la life ? A space so brief. Wo scarce distinguish Joy from crlef. A puff , a filjjh , a breath of air , Hurls us from bliss to cold despair. And what are eirthly vrealtb and fame * But treasures only in tha name , ' And honor , love and learned lore * * But houses bulk upon the shore ? * > One hearing of old ocean's breast , ' And vanished are the things loved.best. * Death comes to claim his struggling prey , Man disappears from earth for aye. And what is life ? A waiting here Until we reach that heaven so dear. Each duty done each day aright Gives us a holy calm delight ; Each work begun in fear and love NearB us unto our God above. To honor here his holy name Should be our goal of earthly fame. Ob , death is not the end of all , For since the very first man's fall ' A heaven is opened to our eyes , And after death comes paradise. Lulu Wintzer in Brooklyn Eagle. INGEATE WITH HOEN8 , I was traveling among the mountain of east Tennessee , and one day abon noon was casting about for a place wher I might get something to eat when m eye was attracted by a number of horse that were tied near a ruinous old lo house. Curiosity and a hope that I might b on the trail of something to eat drew m to the house. Upon entering the dooi way I found a justice of the peace hole ing court. It was a criminal case , and discovered the prisoner to be a long , Ian' fellow , with a bony face and a comples ion that proclaimed the clay eater , fancied that having killed some one h was now on trial to determine whethe or not he should be sent before th grand jury as a sort of sarcastic prelim inary to being hanged , and had begui to pity his probable wife and presunia ble children when the judge said : "This here court , bein' sorter tired will now take a recess fur halfer hour The court has sot hero an' chewed ne\ tobacker till the hide is about all tool offen the inside of his mouth , an' wanter say that if anybody has got an ; tobacker that is a little milder in it parts , pass a chew of it right up to th court. " The prisoner took out a twist of to bacco and handed it to the judgewhere upon the jurist remarked : "This cour thanks you , Jeems , but at the same timi reminds you that the law of this grea land ain't to be bought fora mess of pot tage nor a chaw of tobacker. How's yc crap , Jeems ? " "Sorter wallerin' with the crab grasi an' rasslin' with the rag weed. I woulde : tiad it all right , but this here troubL come on me. When a man is bowe ( down in the speret he ain't thinkin' o : crapsHe is a-thinkin' of the sham < that mout fall on him an' take all tht color outen his repudiation. " "Yes , that's a fact , Jeems. " 'What is all this about ? " I asked turning to a long haired fellow that sai near where I stood. "Wall. " he answered , leaning over anc turning loose a squirt of tobacco extrnc' that might have singed a cat , "Jeem ; Timberlv he shot n sheep an' I reckor he's in fur it. " "They don't intend to hang him , d < they ? ' "No , wus'n that. They'll hit bin about fifty lashes with a hickory an then make him work a country roat some day when thar's a hess show in the neighborhood. " At this juncture the judge pounded or the table. "Come to order now. Tht court is about to put on the solemn gyar ment of the law of this here free an mighty land , an' if any man so fur fur gits himself as to interrupt the proceed- in's he'll fall under the witherin' dis pleasure of yourn truly. Now , let's gil at this business , fur this court has othei affairs on hand. This court must gc some time this evenin' an' reprimand a man that pizened his dog. Jeems , as 1 said at the outset of this trial , I nevei was more shocked in my life. Fur manj years we have know'd you to be reason ably honest , with generally a putty good dab of meat in yo' smoke house , an' we kain't see why you should have killed the Widder Dalton's sheep. " "Yes , " spoke up the widow , who foi the first time I noticed was present , sit ting in a corner , "an' a finer ram never blew his breath on a bunch of pennyrile. But here comes Jeems an' shoots him , an' that , too , when he's got more meat than I have , an' he knows that I've got three son-in-laws to feed. " "Jedge , " said Jeems , "if you will jest let me have a minit I will fling a good ieal of light on this here subject. I don't deny a killin' of the sheep' ' "Well , then , Jeems , you neenter say no more. You've stated the very fact that we air tryin' to git at , an' thar ain't no use in foolin' along here no longer. The court 'lows that it will hafter sen tence you , Jeems. ' ' "Not without givin' me a hearin' , I ' laope. " "I don't see what good a hearin' will lo you when you have made that con fession. " ' Wall , jest listen to my talk , an' then tnebby you'll see. I don't want to take ip yo' time , so that you kain't meet the "eller that pizened yo' dog , but I do in sist on havin' a hearing. " "Wall , then , go ahead , but cut her short. " "Jeems" got up , reached back his long lair and thus addressed the assembly : 'One cold winter night , when the snow : ome down faster than you ever seen 5haff come outen a wheat fan , I heard a jleatin' noise , an' goin' to the door I : hought the sound come from the valley lot fur from-my house. I told my wife ; hat I had to go down in the valley , be- ; ause I heard a lamb callin' for help , md let me say right here that I may be jad in a good many things , but no lamb jver called to me in vain. I thought of Simon Peter that was told to feed the liord's sheep thought of it as I stood har in the door with the snow lrivin' ) ast me into the house. My wife said ; hat I better not go out in sich a night , specially as I wa'n't feelin' very well ; > ut I 'lowed that I couldn't sleep with he'pitiful cry of that lamb a-ringin' in ny ears ; so I took my lantern an' went * 0afif down into the valley. The enow wa whirlin' so fast that I coald hardly se whar I was gain' , bat at lost comii nearer an' nearer to the bleatin' I foun a little lamb with his head etickin' out c a snowdrift. "I took him ont ; his legs were froze stiff as sticks. I took him to the hous an' wanned him by the fire , got a bottl of milk and fixed it so he donld snck. built np a good fire so he wouldn't ge cold durin' the night , an' every time li would bleat I would git up an' fix hi bottle. The weather staid cold for long time , an' once when the old cow gc out of the lot and wandered off an' didn come up in time to give milk for tli lamb I searched for her on the mountai sidean' way down in the valley. It wii lale when I got back homo an' long b < fore I reached the house I heard th lamb a-bleatin' . He seemed to be pov erful glad when I came in with the mill an' the thought I read in his eyes was 'I never will forgit you. ' Wai , to mak a long story short , I brought up tha lamb till he was as fine a sheep as yo ever saw , an' in every look out of hi eyes he said that he never would i'orgi me. We called him Bob an' he 'peare to like the name. "One day the next fall Nat Sarschel that I owed § 5 , come over to my hous an' 'lowed that he must have the monej I didn't have it an' told him so. Jus then Bob , he come up. Til take thi sheep , ' says Nat , an' he done it in spit of all my beggin' an' promisin' that would pay him as soon as I could get th money. Last spring I heard thatNa had sold Bob to the Widder Dalton. S much for the first part , an' now for th second : A day or two ago I was goii through the woods , carryin' a bag o corn on my back , an' all at once kei bhip ! something took me an' almos knocked me lifeless. "As soon as I could git up I lookei 'round , an' thar , not more than ten fee away , stood Bob , a-shakin' of his head 'Gracious alive ! Bob , ' said I , 'don't yoi know me ? ' He backed a little , an' jes as I expected to see the look that said h was never goin' to forgit me he shot a me an' gave me a biff that sent m sprawlin' on the ground. I think he hi me three times before I could git up , an then he followed me to the fence , a churnin' me every jump of the way ar tickled ! Wy , I never saw a ram en jo ; himself so in my life. Well , when I go home I sot down an' thought a long tinn about the ingratitude of this life , an then I thought I would teach that rasca a lesson ; so I got my gun and went bad down into the woods. I held the gm behind me an' poked about. Putty sooi I saw Bob , an' he saw me about the sann time. Here he come ! I didn't say ; word. He was so tickled that he though he'd stop an' laugh a little before biffin me , an' he stopped an' snorted with de light , an' jest then I ups with my gun. "I never saw such a surprised sheep When he saw that I was fixed for hin he tried to look lovin' , but I let him have it right between the eyes. That's m ] statement , jedge , an' it shows that J wa'n't out after meat , but revenge , fur' didn't even skin the rascal ; an' now , i : you want to whip me an' make me worl on the county road , all right. " "Jeems , " said the judge , "any courl that could have the heart to convid you oughter be hung. Widder Dalton , what have you did with that sheep's meat ? " "I've got it at home. " "Wall , you go homo an' roast a bin'- quarter of it. This court an' Jeeins ail goin' to take dinner with you to-iuorrer. ' Opie P. Bead in New York World. Brooklyn Ubravie.- , . In the parlors of the Hamilton club , ir Brooklyn , the other evening a discussion arose about the private libraries in thai city. . One gentleman in the party madt this statement : "I maintain that some of the lai'gesl private libraries in the country can be found in Brooklyn. In the first place , there is Gordon L. Ford's collection , which mounts up to 50,000 volumes , and is particularly noticeable for the large number of books that it contains having reference to American history and tc political science. Charles L. West has a splendid miscellaneous library of at least 15,000'books. James A. H. Bell has more than 10,000 volumes in his collection , and S. L. Elliott has an equal number , a majority of the latter being publica tions on American topics. Mind you , in giving these estimates , I refer to books , not to pamphlets. " Small libraries , running from three tc four thousand books , ' are owned by Thomas G. Shearman , the Eev. John W. Chadwick , Laurence Kehoe , Mayor Chapin , Eugene G. Blackford , Daniel T. Treadwell. R. R. Bowker and Gabriel Barrison. The collections of the last named gentlemen , in many instances , are of books on particular subjects. Mr. Kehoe , for instance , collects works hav ing special reference to Catholicism , and Mayor Chapin's hobby is treatises about the earlier history of the country. New Fork Star. . Careful of His Ilat. Going uptown on a horse car one stormy night I saw a man who wore a new silk hat , but had no umbrella , a combination of circumstances which , as jverybody knows , is quite unpleasant. Phe man seemed truly alive to the situa- Son , and hung on the step of the car as le approached his street , having a grim expression upon his face which fully in- licated that he was about to adopt des- ? erate measures. When his corner was reached he alighted , took off his hat , Turned it upside down and ran like a ivild steer. He was baldheaded , and looking down the street you could see in ; he twilight the bare head bobbing up ind down as the rain pattered on its de vastated crest. "He thinks more of his lat than he does of 'his ' health , " re- narked a passenger , who also saw the 5ald head skipping down the street , and le was right by a large majority. When ; he man who was so choice of his hat jets laid up with the influenza , and the lector gets the grip on him , he may vish that he had kept his head covered , ind paid twenty-five cents for having hia iat ironed.
