' ' ^Hb? Eveaiog Prayer.
HWtt^wilight of my days,
' Ul ^^ning of the years,
i ; l ^lin Unto my saddened gaze
^ F v<8oe?hs a vision veiled in tears.
^wS^Er*^ knowledge fades away
^^gtT^Bhat I vainly thought to keep;
SBWS^MW^tfe child I pray:
Now I lay me down to sleep.;^1iave
wandered far from Thee
i Since that childish prayer I-said,
? A?d the Hps that taught it me
l Have been gathered to the dead;
(Yet her face I seem tr When
the evening c-eep,
; And again, as at 1?Pray
Thee, Lord, iuj dou. keep!
Softly fades the lingering light:
. Lof the last beam leaves the skies;
Ana i watch, amid the night,
For the evening Btar to rise.
? ' Far beyond the bounds of space
I may drift ere day shall break;
Let me see my mother's face
If I die before I wake!
Darker grows the gathering gloom.
While my soul its vigils keeps
With the memories that loom
Up from Lifa's unsounded deeps.
When upon a sunlesB fttrand
I shall hear the surges break, v
Ere I near the Nameless Land,
Pray Thee, Lord, my soul to take!

Printing Offices Win Contention.
If the senate adopts the house
amendment to the postoffice appropriation
bill, there will be no
sucn thing after June 30, this
year, as the government sale of
stamped envelopes with return
addresses printed on them.
Many printing housts throughout
the country have taken the view
that the government has no
business entering into competition
with them in the printing
of return addresses on
envelopes and their activity
against the practice has resulted
in the house amendment, which
is as follows:
'That no part of the foregoing
sum [appropriation for stamped
envelopes and newspaper wrappers]
shall be used to print or
nave printed, or sell or offer to
sell, any stamped envelope bearing
upon it a printed direction
> orivinor nnmn omr
vidual, firm, or company, or any
number of any postoffice box
or drawer, or any street number
or the name of any building to
, > which it shall be returned if uncalled
for or undelivered."

The Man Who Runs and Tells.
If you have a brick handy,
prpspnf- it without ceremony to
the man who is always telling
you what other people say about
you, says London Answers.. You ,
will injure him with the brick,
and you will doubtless be locked j
up for the assault; but you will
&ain in the end.
I am a man who adores peace
with the heartiest adoration?I
revel in it?but when I meet the |
man who tells me in confidence
of the ruffianly things that some i
one has said of me I feel like I
indulging in war. I feel like letting
him have one of the best
under the chin.
Know, my dear reader, that
everybody talks about you when
your are not nresent in nnitn n
different way from what they
would talk were you face to face
with them. It is human nature.
We are all critics of one another.
Even your dearest friend knows
that you have little faults. And
when the occasion comes he
speaks to others of these little
faults. He does this even
though lie i<t your best and most
reliable friend. And you do the
same by him. We all speak of
one another's faults.* We . 't
help it. We w ere horn t it. way.
We don't really mean ..nything
by it. Hut we do it. And there's
an end of it.
It is alleged, to be sure, that
there are some perfect p i s<-: s
who ne\er say behind a ma; \s
hack what they wouldn't s.iy
before his face. I say alleged,
because 1 must confess that in a
somewhat wide experience of '
life, I have never had the for-v
tune to meet these persons. And
I am driven to the conclusion
that if they exist at all thev are
as rare among us as white blackbirds.
My experience in life has
shown me that human beings
find it the finest and most
stimulating fun going to laugh
at the failings and oddities of
others behind their backs. In
fact, I woulu go so far as to
assert that this trait in our common
humanity is the root and
foundation of our social life. In
the good old prehistoric days
men laid down their flint clubs
and indulged in humorous comment
concerning the way some
acquaintance escaped from, or
was gulped up by, the sporty
animals with the long names.
Ann they lound this comment i
upon the fortunes or misfortunes
of others so delightful that they
made a habit of it, and thereby
laid the foundation of social
intercourse as we know it now.
