TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN DIALECT

RT BAAYAD TAYLOR.

D'ye know the road to the bar'l o' flour ?At break o' day let down the bars,

And plow y'r wheat hour by hour,Till sundown-yes, till shale o' stars.

You peg away, the livelong da:y,Nor loaf Ilaot, nor gape arounl ;

And that's the road to the thrashin' floor,And into the kitchen, I'll be Ibould.

I)'ye know the roads where the dollars lay?Follow the red cents here andt there ;

For if the man leaves them, I caln gullsHe won't find dollars anywhere.

D've know the road to Sundav's rest ?.Jist don't o' week day be af raid;

In field and workshop do y'r best,And Sunday contes itself, I've heard.

On naturday, it's not far off,And briug a hbaaketful o' cheer-

A roast and lots o' garden stuff',And, like as not, ajug o' beer.

D'ye know the road to poverty 'Turn in at any tavern sign ;

Turn in-it's tempting as can be;There's bran new cards and liqulors tdlue.

In the last tavern there's a sack.And when the cash y'r pockets quits,

Just hang the wallet on y'r Lack,You vagabond! see how it fits!

D'ye know what road to honor leads,And good old age ?-a lovely sight-

By way o' temperance, honest deeds,And tryin' to do y'r duty right.

And when the road forks ary side,And you're in doubt which one it is,

Stand still and let your conscience guide;Thank (iod, it can't leadl much amiss.

And now the road to church-yard gateYou needn't ask. (to anywhere,

For whether roundabout or straight,All roads at last'll bring you lthere.

Go, fearing God, but lovin' more!I've tried to be an honest guide-

You'll find the grave has got a door,And somethin' for you t'othe.r 'ate.

ROLL-CALL.

Ar!onlu•tt.

"Corporal Green!" thie Orderly cried,"Here !" was tlhe alnswer, lolad and clear,From the lips of the soldier who stood near;

And "Here !" was the word the next replied'

"Cyrus Drew !"-then stlence feill-This time no answer followed the call;Only his rear man had seen him fall,

Killed or wounded, he could not tell.

There they stood in the faling light,These men of battle, with grave,dark looksAs plain to be read as open books,

While slowly gathered the shades of night.

The fern on the hillsides was splashed withblood,

And down in the corn where the poppiesgrew,

Were redder stains than the poppies knew;And crimson-dyed was the river's Hood.

For the foe had crossed from thel, other sideThat day in the face of a ntirt.: ,,, tire,

That swept them down in it , rribl,e ire,And their life blood went t,, ,Il.,: the, tide.

"Herbert Kline!" At the :;il there camneTwo stalwart soldiers intl ii.ll.

Bearing between them t!lhi Ilrrh.t Kline,Wounded and bleedinlg, to lanswer his name

"Ezra Kerr!"-and a voice answered," Here!""Hiram Kerr!"--llt no man replihed.They were brothers, these two; the sad

wind sighed,And ashudder crept through the clorn-fieldl

near.

"Ephraim Deane !"-then a soldlier spoke:

"Deane carried our regi ment's colors," liesaid;

"Where our ensign was shot I left himdead,

Just after the enemy wavered and broke.

"Close to the roadside his body lies;

I paused a moment and gave him drink;

He murmured his mother's name, I think,

And death canie with it,and closed his eyes."

'Twas a victory, yes, but it cost us dear-For that company's roll, when called at

night,Of a hundred men who went into the fight,

Numbered but twenty that answered "Here!"

The Great Prayer Question.

The New York Independent grapples man-fully with the great prayer question, thus:, President Woolsey began an article for the

Independent with the words, 'And so Godhas not heard the innumerable prayers thathave gone up.' This statement startled someof our friends, but it is true. God does notanswer every prayer. He is obliged to denya great many. But we are told by some thatthe true prayers of faith are really answered,though the specifcl petitions which they up-lift are denied. " There are

others, however, to whom It seems little bet-ter than word Jugglery thus to pres a wordout of its ordinary and accepted sense intoan unusual and almost technical one. "

- * Wesay that o can not an-swer every petition, and that he can not al-low his authority and will to be mutinouslyusurped by any number of persons who willundertake to instrnct blan u to what is wise,

etc."The Chicago tlaerior (Presbyterian) is

more candid, also, than some of the religiouspapers nl its discussion of the prayer que-tion in connection with the deathof Presidet Garfield. Speak•ag ofthe general, mportunate, and persist •ot Ptitlon for his recovery, it says: "The prayer

was net answered. We ned not evade thedirect isse by saynyg, e is often done, thatthe prayer ws not answered la the form ofthe petition. The frank position is the bestone. The aation's prayer, whatever ele inocluded eollaterally, was focussed to thisspeelfe request, that President Garelsd might

get well. That prayer was deaiod. Our

good hend, the AdssNes (Conggational),misses the mark when It pleads that theprayer really was answered, thus: ' Has ntGod answered the prayes osred for our le-meemed Preylds•at He gave a has l

REMINIBCENCES OF' JOHN HOPKINS.

" The atreme of Wealth. No Doubt. BearsWith it Many Tribulations.'

Augusta (Ga.) Chrodfele.

lie left $9,000,000, a moiety of which wasdivided between eighteen relatives, and thebulk retained for a university and severalhospitals. The nephew who was of en atvariance with him received almost twice asmuch as the brothers who never contradictedhim. Mr. Hopkins never married. Thedaughters of Epanminondas were that hero'sfamous victories. The children of JohnHopkins are the splendid institutions he hasleft to learning, to meicy and to science. Hestarted life with $400, and built up, by hisown exertions, a colossal fortune. Fromthe beginning he declared he had a missionfrom God to increase his store, and that thegolden flood that poured into his coffers didnot belong to him or to the hundreds whosought to borrow or be 1 it from him. Hedeclared that a supernatiTral power preventedhim from taking money from his. pocket tobestow foolish alms, and that some day theworld would know that he was not the

grasping, avaricious and narrow-mindedman he was accounted. He neverthelesshelped secretly many worthy persons, and,after his death, it was discovered that nota few merchants had been saved by him fromfinancial embarrassment and sorrow. But

in the common acceptance of the term hewas not liberal. His "misson" preventedthat; Toward the close of a very long lifehe became stingy and suspicious, but theend he had proposed never suffered change,and that was the mistress of his soul towardwhom he maintained an inflexible fidelity."Clifton" was his pride, and upon it hespared no expense. Here the great universitywas to be founded; but in this his designswill be baffled. The city authorities havetaken some seventy acres Just in front of

the imperial mansion and the noble chestnutgrove he had nurtured, not one tree of whichhe would have cut down even when wither-

ed, has fallen before the remorseless ax ofprogress. The foundation of a vast lake forthe water supply of Baltimore are already incourse of excavation, and the einglneers andrude implemeints occupy several of thebeautiful chambers of " Clifton."

An uncanny old tramp used to stationhimself under a giant oak that stood sentryby the lodge of "Clifton." This made Mr.Hopkins nervous and became a moraloffense. lie told one of l:is nephews of it,and said he did not know how to abate the

nuisance. "Why not pay him, uncle, andsend him away?" queried the young man.

"i'ay him money!" Mr. Hopkins shrieked,while his long arms flew about like wind-mills. "Pay him money! God forbid!When I do that there will be a hundred vag-abonds here instead of one!" "Well,then," added the nephew, ",f I were you Iwould kick him out." "I cannot do that,"

the old man pleaded, "I am afraid!""What!" the nephew retorted, "are youafraid of such a cur as that?" '"No, no!"

Mr. Hopkins whispered hoarsely, "I am notafraid of him, but afraid of God. Did younever read in the Bible how Dives treatedLazaruns? Would you have me repeat thatstory and burn in hell forever?" Thatended it.

On one of the last days of his earthly ex-istence Mr. Hopkins called his devoted

gardenler to him amnd said: "I am beginning

to hate this place, because it does not bringin money. Did you ever feed hogs? Haveyou not observed that the strong animalsbear away thie cars of corn, and that theweaker ones pursue them squealing, in hopesthat all or some of the treasure will be lostor dropped ?" The gardener replied that the

sketch was a true one. " Well, then," said

Mr. Hopkins, "I am that strong hog. Ihave that big ear of corn, and every piggish

rascal in Baltimore is intent on stealing itor wresting it from me! Sir," he said, turn-ing brusquely to the gaidener, "do youthink a very rich man is happy?" The

gardener answered: "The extreme of pov-erty is a sad thing. The extreme of wealth,no doubt, beamrs with It many tribulations."

Mr. Hopkins rejoined: "You are right, myfriend; next to the hell of being utterly be-reft of money is the purgatory of possessinga vast amount of it. I have a mission, andunder its shadow I have accumulated wealth,but not happiness."

Theft, Arrest, Trial, and Prison Inside of Eight

Hours.

PaHLADELPHIA, Oct. 28.-A sauce pi-quante was added to the visit of the Frenchguests this morning by an attempt that wasmade to rob General Boulanger and CountLichtenstein at the Contineutal Hotel. Thesetwo gentlemen had been asigned to parlorNo. 80, on the second doot, having two bed-rooms opening off oppositesides. About sixo'clock this morning General Boulanger wasawakened by a noise, and, sitting up in hisbed, saw a large man standing at the dressingtable in his room gathering up his moneyand watch. The General sprang out of bed,seised his sword, and got between the in-truder and the door, meanwhile calling lust-ily for Count Lichtenstein. The man ex-plained that he had got into the wrong roomby mistake and appeared veq cool. Asnieltlr of the gentlemen speak English theburglar' explanations did him no good. Thetwo ofeels stood over him with drawnswords until Policeman Hughes arrived,when the man was taken to the stationbome.

A Coantry With a Beer Shop for Every Os.Hundred People.

MNnich Letter in Sprlngfleld Republican.The little kingdom of Wurtemburg haa

1,900,000 inhabitants and is not so large athe State of Massachusetts by 300 squaremiles, yet I find that the published recordsshow that there were 7,398 breweries, largeand small, in active operation within thekingdom during the past year, and in thetwelve months 135,179,900 pounds of maltwere brewed. One of the great and impor-tant industries of Germany is the manufac-ture of beet sugar and two years ago thegovernment returns showed that there were320 manufactories engaged in this enterprise.If there are 7,398 breweries in Wurtemberg,what must be the number of the whole em-pire, and what must be the vast amount ofcapital and labor employed in the manufac-ture of beer as compared with the manufac-ture of sugar! In Wurtemberg there are18,0•0 beer shops or places where beer is soldby the glass. This would make on an aver-age a beer shop for about every 100 of theInhabitants, man, woman and child, Includ-ing babies of the tenderest age. The differ-ent towns and cities show a variety of figuresIn making up this general average, some go-ing as high as 120 and 130, and others fallingshort of 100. In Canstall, for instance, asuburb, of 25,000 inhabitants, there is abeer shop for every 84 people. Wurtembergis not noted for the good quality of its beerwhich is considered of an inferior class, andit may reasonably be presumed that a verysmall percentage is sold outside the bordersof the kingdom. On the contrary, the Bava-rian beers--the beers made at Munich, atPilsener and in some parts of Prussia, whichhave a high reputatiou-are in great demand,and are imported into Wurtemberg in im-mense quantities, where they are drunk al-most exclusively at nearly all the betterclass beer shops. When we consider thefact that allor nearly all of the beer made inWurtemberg is consumed by the Wurtem-bergers, together with the vast importationsfrom outside of the kingdom, we begin torealize the fact that the Germans, judgingby the example of the Wurtembergers, lovebeer and drink a great deal of it. By thestatistics I see that last year one brewery InStuttgart manufactured 880,380 gallons ofbeer, which would make 29,366 barrels of T'3gallons each. And yet I am told by thethe Germans if I wish to see real beer-drink-ing I must go to Bavaria; that the Bavariansare noted for their love of beer and for thequantitIes that they can and do consume;that the Wurtembergers are but mere chil-dren as yet in the practice.

Why the Bride Wilted.

Little IRock Gazette.

The other night a young man from North-ern Arkansas and young woman from thesouthern part of the State met at a hotel inLittle Rock and were mariried. After theceremony the young mani went out and satin front of the hotel while his wife went upto the room assigned as their bridal cham-her.

"This thing of gettin' married is a lifetimebusiness," he said, addressing a man whohad just been divorced. "I reckon you havefound it so," he added, turning to a singleman." "Wall, I reckon I'll go np now.Dinged if I don't sorter hate to go up thar,too. But I never was afeered of a man, an'I don't see why I should be afeered of a wo-man."

He went up and rapped at the door.' Who's there?" asked the girl."It's nle.""Who's me ?""Don't you recognize my talk, honey ?""No, I don't.""It's your own wide-awake and livin' Irus-

band. Let me in.""Go away front that door; you shan't come

in here. I ain't got acquainted with youyet."

"Say, let me in. Them fellers down stairsair laughin' at mue. Open the door,fur I am

sleepy," and he yawned like a man waitingfor a night tsain.

"Thought you said that you were wideawake."

"I was a while ago, but I'm powerfulsleepy now. Say, a'n't you goin' to openthis door ?"

"No, I ain't.""Why did you marry me?""'Cause I wanted to.""Well, then, why don't you let me in 2""'Cause I don't want to.""All right, old gal, I'll shell out fur home

anid leave you to pay the hotel bill. I neversee'd the woman that could pull the woolover my eyes."

The latch clicked and the door opened.The hotel bill had frightened her.

"It won't do for a woman to buck agin me,lemmy tell you, for I was raised at the cross-roads an' went to mill early."

A Brutal King.

From Gordon's Book on Central Africa.

The King is rapidly going nod. He cutsoff the noses rf those who take snuff,and thelips of those who smoke. The other day aman went to salute Ras Aloula. In salutinghim his tobacco box dropped out. Ras Alo-ula struck him with his sword, and his peo-ple finished him. The King is hatel morethan Theodore was. Cruel to a debrcu, hedoes not, however, take life. He cuts offthe feet and hands of the people who utHendhim. He puts out their eyes by pouring hottallow into their ears. Several persona cameto me to tell me this. I remonstrated withthe Kmg against his edict forcing men to be-come Christians from Mussulman. He saidthey wished it. I also remonstratel aboutthe tobacco edict, but it was of no use. Noone can travel without the King's order,if beis a foreigner. You can buy nothing with-out the King's order; no one will shelteryou without his order-in fact no more com-plete despotism could exist. It cannot last,for the King will go on from one madnessto another.

Orders were given that no one was to ap-proach me; nor was I to approach any one.The officer who conducted me to the Klng,the second in command to Aloula, met hisuncle and cousins in chains, and durst notask why they were chained. The King is aman of sonsme 45 years, sour, Ill-favoredlooking being. He never looks you in theface, but when you look away be glares atyou like a tiger. He never smiles; his look,always changing, is one of thorough susple.lon. Hated and hating all,I can imagine nomore nhappy man.

Some of the More Noted Onee-InterestingReading for Ambitious Young Men.

llarper's Weekly.

Exceptionally long beards have always at-tracted a good deal of attention, and historyrecords many instances of the kind :

Rauher Von Talberg, a German Knight,and Councillor bf Maxmilian II, (1575i), re-joiced in a beard which reached to his feet,and from there again to his waist.

John Mayo, a celebrated painter of thesixteenth century, who accompanied CharlesV. in his campaign, had a beard so long thatalthough he was a tall man it would hangupon the ground when he stood upright; hewore it, therefore, fastened to his girdle.

George Killingworth, sent by Queen Maryas one of her agents in li1(4 to Czer Ivan,the

Terrible, is said to have had a ueard fivefeet two inches long.

In the olden time, when every part of thebody had its price, the beard was valued attwenty shillings--a large sum for the time-while the loss of a leg was valued at twelveshilling. We can easily Imagine that at pe-riods when the beard and whiskers werelooked upon as ornamental, false beardswere substituted for the genuine article.Pedro IV. of Aragon (1351) found himselfcompelled to prohibit his Catalonian sub-jects fzom wearing false beards. But themost singular substitute is the golden beardwhich Chrysostemus says was worn by theKings of Persia. Suetonius says the same ofCaligula, the Roman Emperor. Accordingto Andreas Fayn, the Kings of France, of thefirst dynasty, wore beards entwined withgold threads.

Duke Renatus, of Lorraine, wore at thefuneral of Charles of Burgundy, who died atNancy in 1047, a beard of gold thread hang-ing down to his g dle. As Jupiter wassometimes adorned with a golden beard, theauream barbarn habere was equivalent tosaying Deum ease.

Beards were at various times taxed in Eng-land. Thus, we read in Notes and Queriesthat the Sheriff of Canterbury paid threeshillings and four pence for wearing a beard.In the first year of Elizabeth every beard ofabove a fortnight's growth was taxed threeshillings and sixpence; but the law was tooabsurd to be enforced. The duty imposedupon beards by Peter the Great was a ruble(about three shillings). This tax met witha similar fate to that of Elizabeth and wassoon canceled.

The detelopment of the beard, as well asthe hail iness of the body, differs not merelyin ditleentit races, but also in families of thesame race. In Europe and a portion of Asiabeards prevail, until we go beyond India,when gradually beards disappear, as in thecase with the Siamese, Chinese and Japa-nese.

MONEY NEVER CALLED FOR.

Accumulation of S$.000,000 in Unclaimed Post

OfMce Orders.

NSe York ,tarr.

Postmaster-General James passed yester-day in New York as a abort relief to his ar-tuvus d ttee7.t .Wpshinjaop. lie deglheqd

to discuss politics or give any informationrelative to pending Cabinet changes to theStar reporter last evening, but stated somefacts regarding Post Office management.

'Perhaps you did not know," he said,"that there is an excess of $1,•00o,00 in thesub-treasury here which Iellpresents reallythe amount of money orders iever claimed.New Yolk is the general clearing house ofthe money ordei system, and that amount in-cludes all other money order orftiics in theUnited States."

"Why is it that so much money romainsunclaimed ?"

" Fron various reasons; chiefly frolm mis-direction of money orders. Many peoplewho send money are careless as to the ad-dress, so that t is never received. In othercases, people receive the ,money orders, andinstead of cashing them at once keep them intheir pockets or lose them. Many of thosewho receive money orders ate foreigners,with slight knowledge of the language, andthey do not know how to have them cashed.There are a great number of ways in whichthis accumulation may have occurred. It is,in fact, not a very large amount consideringthat it Includes all the United States, andhas accumulated for 17 years,since the postalmoney order system was instituted."

"Can old money orders be cashed at anytime P"

"'Oh, yes. There Is no limit as to time,and if you print these facts in the Star 1doubt not there will be a large number ofold ones presented for payment. There hasalready been a statement about the mattet,and Postmaster Pearson and I agree thatthere will be probably $100,000 of the $S,-800,000 reclaimed at once."

One of the simplest and best remedies tobe given to children if they are troubled withworms is poplar bark. A well known phy-sician has used this for years with markedsuccess. It can be bought at any drug store.Take a little pinch of the bark,about as muchas one would naturally take on the point ofapenknife, and give it before breakfast. Ithas a clean, bitter taste, and there is no dif.ficulty in getting a child to take it.

- --- -es- ~A New Process for Preserving Timber.

tYorth Amiricrmn .V(ml(eturer.

The Blythe process of seasoning and pre-serving timber, says a London (England)railway journal, effects a most material say-ing in the cost of sleepJrs by prolongingtheir life. The old processof creosoting timber, which was never completely satisfactoryin its effects, practically sealed up the woodin a damp-proof shell which failed to pene-trate beneath the surface. Any injury tothe sleeper, even the mere cutting of It, wassufficient to expose the uncreosoted Interior,which immediately became a prey to damp,fungi, or insects.

By the Blythe process carbolic and othertar acids are carried into the heart of thewood by means of super-heat, d steam. Theythere chemically combine with the compo-nent parts of the timber, so that their anti-septic qualities are exercised throughout ev-ery fibre and not merely on the surface. Dur-ing this process of steaming the sap is com-pletely extracted, and so thoroughly is thisdone, that a tree felled one day can be treat-ed the next. After the treatment the woodonly needs to be allowed to cool, proteetedfrom draft, in order to be ready for use, whenit will afterward be found to be free from anyliability to contract, warp, or decay. Thefibre is strengthened, no smell is given off,and the wood is not made more combustible.

Besides its suitability for sleepers, timbercarbolized under the Blythe process can beused for any purpose for which wood is em-ployed. Every description of beams, Joists,flooring-boards, and rafters can be treated bythis system, together with oak, Americanicherry, walnut, and other fine woods Intend-ed for cabinet work, Jolnery, panelling, andparqueterle. A great saving can be effectedby this process by compressing poplar, Scotchfir, and other trees of quick growth, untilthey have been made as hard as boxwood,thus enabling cheap wood to be often usedin place of dearer.

The method by which the carbolixing iscarried out is extremely simple-so simple,indeed, that the plant for the purpose can becarried from place to place on trucks madeto run on the line, thus effecting gret savingin time and expense, particularly whensleepers are being relaid.

As an Instance of the way in which thesystem has answered in Franee it may bementioned that some slepers cut from beech,which is unusually perishable in noistground, were placed on the main line of thethe North-of France Railway as long ago as1872, and although subjected to the heavytrafle which rans over the line betweanAmiens and Pars, still shows no signs ofwear under the seat of the rails, nor of de-say; and the high opinion entertaned by ne

gineer of the process may be gathered romtoa tfact that many millions of the sleepe.sare now supplied to the reach railways a.-nually.
