When weeks are past, His joy ha paseed, “When will my fast Be turned to feast 2" Hoasks. They say, with aweetest smilo, Your application is on file,” He soon grows weak; and grave and thin, And somewhat seedy are his clothes; A bristling beard befouls hia chin, And blogms the blossom on his nose. But still he_soeks To know his fate; Pale grow his cheeka When told to wait; or,” aays the man with the winning smile “Your application is on fila.” When this administration’s dead, And to another one gives place; With heavy haart, but lighter head Will he he his fav'rite phantom chase, He'll watch and wait, A snd-oyed sot, Outaide the gate, But enter not.

One of the party had started on the Mormon question, when another, polnt- ing at the old man, said: ‘‘Adams was & ploneer Mormon, and can tell you all about it, Ask him why he apostatized " No sooner suggested than acted upon, and old John, smillng good humoredly, related the following: “Ya-as, I have been a salnt. I went to Utah in '48, and walk't most of the way. Yo see, I wasa young feller then, an’ hed a good farm an’ a purty wife, who hain’t got over being purty yet, ter my way o' thinkln’. My heart was jlst tied up in her, an’ I work't alrly and Iate for us both, and we was happy an’ comt'table when one o’ them Mormon mishoners cum along, an’ he was|the slickest talkin’ coon ye Iver heerd, an, he put up at my houss, He didn’t have pus ncr scrip; but that wa-ant nothin’; thar war dum fow a8 cum trompin’ along thar in them days as did hev much of eny- thin’. I tum ’emin all a-same an we gin ’em what we had. This feller said hs was a saint o’ the Lord, and hs wanted to preach the gospil in our parts, kase thar's whar his mishun was, 1dido’t have no scruples—wal, wal, yetknow how women I about preach: ers—she kaid let him stay, an’ he etopped along thar for nigh on to a month, a- preachin’ an’ a-telling about the glorees o’ Zion an’ the bliss o’ the kingdom, an’ all aich stuff tlll he got the wimmin mos’ crazy, Now, T wun't ssy but how 1 was sort o' taken in'ith the doctrine myself; any way I was taken in an’ dun for on the Mormon question. I was convarted. But I'll say this ’ere, as how my wife done as much torts it as the misnuner. She gi'en right In to the doctiine, an’ she uset to talk to me about bein’ one o’ the Lord’s chosen, an’ a goin' with Jo- seph, an’ Hyrum ’an the rest of the saluts, right along on the trail to glory. So I sold out the farm for cash, and Molly an’ me we moved over into Nau- voo, whar we bad to go through the en- dowment business, kass we wa-an't mar- tied fur time and eternlty in the world. Gents, you mayn't think it, bat my ole ‘oman was just too pretty fur enything in them days. She’d brown, shiny haic, an’ great, big hazel eyes, red cheeks an’ a little mouth as was just a liven’ kiss, and thar wa-an’t nothing that could beat her on shape, nuther. I just loved that val, for she wa-an’t much more'n a gl then.” The old man looked around to gea if his “‘ole "oman” had heard his-praiseful rem- iniscenses, but that comely dame had dls- appesrad early In the course of the story, and if within hesring, was not in sight, 30, after draining a mug of cider, Adams proceeded: 1 don’t suppose thar's any use of goin’ over the Nauveo biznls, No two he's iver tole 1t the same. Eay way, Joseph an’ Hyrum was killed at Carthege an’ ivery thin’ was inamix till Brigham Young took holt, and then things jumped fast to *‘Winter Quarters” and tnen to Lalt Lake, The story’s bin tolt often. Did iver eny wen of ye drive an ox team about a thousant or twelve wiles? My Molly, my purty Molly, got poeket on’ the color wint outen Lor cheeke, an’ her eyes war dull, an’ her mouth, that sweet little mouth, got drawed at the corners, an’sad, an’ her har were sun-tanned an’ faded an’ she got 80 o' carcless in her dress, cummin’ o livin’in & wagon 8o long, an' then, ye sce, goats, we wer oxpectin’ a babby. It war bard on Molly, Ieorto' think I cared more for her jis: then'n I tver did, Sometimes she’d cum out an’ waliz along slde me, an’ she'd talk about the ole farm sn’ olo times, wen we was a- ceurtin’, an’ her v'fce 'd git ort o’ sad an’ m'nfal, an’ her eyes 'd lovk jist as tho' she didn’t see nuthin’ nur nobody, all wet with big tears, but she wouldn'c_ecry. An' wen we'd stop at nigbts she'd come an’ slt in my arms an’ put her hcud on my shoulder an’ ory out so weak an’ piti- fal: ““Oh, John! sin't we never goin’ to glt thar?” Wal, wen We war in the Rockies the babby cum, an’ I tho't as how 'd be a, comfort to Molly, but it dida't stay long, poor little girl | an’ I burled it In a pless- ant groen valley war wo loft it, as Molly sald, to be taken care of by Him as calls the little ckildren to Him, Fiu'ly we got to Salt Lake, an’ T left Mn")‘ ther to git rested an’ wen up no’thards an’ tuk up some land an’' arter four or five months 1 got things in shape an’ brought Molly up. A’ i was my ole Molly, with the bright eyes an laflin’ mouth 'at wint uuL(n aroun’ that nlr dobee shanty an’ made it hum for mo, an’ & happy won Wall, the Jan’ give good cra sn’ my stock was gittin’ mors an' more, sn’ 1 was look't on as a risin’' man In Israel an’ ther' was unly one thing as bothered me —but I niver let on to Molly, furI wouldn't a tolt her for lgcud bit. Ye 8o, those durned blshops an’ elders kept arter me to go into the celestisl marriage biz'nls and 1 wuddn’t do it. They kept a-saying as how Mully didn't hev euy wore children, av’ how it was my duoly to bufld up llw Kingdom. Fin'ly 1 got mad an’ tolt 'em that if my blldin up the Kingdom ment takin’ another ’oman they oould figger on my doln' mighty little of the work. But they kept at it hundret | ¥ far three or four years, till I up an’'wez to Brigham that ef I heerd eny more about it I'd jest pull up and leave their kingdom altogether. It made the ol man purty mad, but he didn't eay much; that wa-an't his way—he did things; ac what he did ter me was ter send me on mishun, There wa-an't no use kickin’ 50 1 jist got ready an’ started for my field of labor It don’t make any difference what it was, but I don’t think the Lord pros- pored my work. Thar was more kicke dor ha' pence, au' 1 was thinkin' a good sight more o’ Molly than mish uns, 1 never heerd from her, fur mails were skeerce In them days, but I wuz alluz » thinkin' about her, an’ wonderin' how she waa out thar all alone, an’ wen my two years cum to an end ye bet I started West sharp set. ol serot the plains 1 jlst kept a dreaming to myself how the houss look't, an’ how lolly was, an’ now a'priset ahe'd be to see ag'in, wond'rin’ whether a babby we sort o' a’poctsd when I oum away had arrly, An'so the time wint on ontil wo was past the Rockies, w'en wan day a stranger rid up an' sort o look't over the people ah’ gives me a sort o’ long stare; then he wint off atalkln’ with the capn —he was & Gen- tle—ev'rp wancet'n a wiile lookin’ torts me, 1didn't e'plelon enything at tast, but somehow didn't feel easy in my mind about the way the stranger looked at me, an’ I was glad to got ehet of him But 1 was clean took back w'en the cap'n cum an’' call'd me out of o hearln’ an’ sez “‘Wot hev you bin a.doin’ t get the Da- nites arter ye?” “Doin't" sez I; nathin’.’ “Look a-heer, John,” sez he, “I've tuk a fancy ter ye, an’ I don’t want ter see yo git hurt, but them devils is arter ye, an’ yo'd better mako yourself mighty skeeroe If you don’t want a hole in_yer skin, I tell ye this train ain't healthy. They've got yo mark’t. I didn’t skeer very much in them days but wen I heerd that the cole sweat brak out all over me, far I knew ef tha, gang got artor me I was a gone coon. Then I thot o' Molly, an’ I jist gritted my teeth an’ swore 1'd see her agin enyway, an’ find ont what the row was. I lookt mighty keerful to my arme that night; 1 hed a good riflo aw’ two good pistils an’ I hed a tust.class Ameri- can hoss. I wasn't afeared o’ Injlus, an’ 1 know’t most every trail over the moun- tains; 0 I jist lald my plans, an’ with- out sayln’ & word to eny wan, I laid In some rations, an’ that night, wen Ivery thin' was dark an’ qulet, I lit out torts the mountains, 1t was purty sharp work gettin’ out without enybody knowin’, but I did, an’at sun-up I was miles away, an’ cles’t to the Waeatch range, makin’ fur a pass I know't that ‘ud bring me out close to my ranch. After L gbt Into the hills I weat slower, eparin’ my hoss, but hurr'in all the same, an’ about sundowa the third day after leavin' O.hn train I look’t down the ken- yon an’ thar was my farm below me. [To be Concluded. ] “I hain't been doin’ THE FASHION IN FUNERALS, Short Evening Services, Amid Simple legance, the Form, New York World. Custom changes in the disposition of the dead as in everything else. Therels now what is recognized a8 a fashion for faperals. Public funerals have alw:ys consisted of pomp, parade and splendor. Itisin the funerasl of private persons that soclety bas laid down rales defining the proper form, There ls no longor any sltting up with the corpse. This ls an old custom and is still in vogue in the remote rural districts. No end of en- gagement have been made or msrriages brought about by sitting up with the corpsa. The real subatantisl reason for “watching” Is to see to the attentlons that the body requlres. Bodles never used to be put cn ice or embalmed in the country. They were laid out onaboard in a cold room and cloths dampened with a solutlon were put on the face to prevent diecoloration. The undertaker now takes charge soon after death, and the body 1s in his hands until put In the grave. As a sanifary measure 1t 1s placed In au lce-box or is embalmed. Privacy, but elegance withal where it can b> afforded, hes grown to distingaish fu- nerals in New York. The recent chauges in the habits have been great, The an- noancements in the newspapers generally have the addi ion: *‘The funeral will be private,” “I'rlends ars invited,” or, “Pleass send no flowers.” Despito thess soeming cfforts at simplicity funcrals havo become fearfully expensive thiogs, Fre- quently private funerals cost $800 and $1.000. The bill for a fashionable fu- neral with the burfal in Woodlawn figures up as follows: ss.fl Undertaker's 50 tendance . 40 Flowers . 75 Feur porters $4 each....... Fu\lr coache at lUICm‘ Lo ‘Woodlnwn 2 3008 The charges for the burial place in ‘Woodlawn are not included in this table, 1f in additton to the porters therc were poll-bearcrs, there would ba §2 per pair for gloves and §7.50 each for ecarfs for elght of them, If the body is embalmed the charge Is §$256. The office of the pall-bearers 1s seldom filled In private funorals, Porters carry the coffin, Thore is & charge for chalrs when used. The fashionable hour for the funeral servics Is 8 o'clock in the evening. The body raposes in a ocasket on a cafafalque In the parlor, genersly against the wall on one side of the room, The blinds are closed snd the shades ara tightly drawn, The gas is only partiaily turncd on snd the globes are often draped to soften the light, Flowers rest onm the foot of the casket and a broken column, an_anchor, or some other florsl device stands at the head, The family and friends sit in the room, The minis ter reads the slmple service of the dead and at the oonclusion offers prayer with- out passing a eulogy. The quartet, in the intervals and at the termination of the service, sing from the landing above in the h The friends, when allis over, take a last look at the face and de- part. Oaly au hour is occupied. In the mornlog the family alone go to the grave with the boiy. An evening service in the parlor of & private residence s weird snd and strangely impressive, There are fanerals where every ressonable provision is made that cost only $20, In such a case the coffin {8 a white wood stained in fmltation of walnut. Metallic coffins are little em- ployed. A wooden casket is used, cov ered with black broadcloth snd wimmed with black stlk velvet.

There arc some toxtons who are engaged in the general uoderaking business, Many owners of lizery stables are uudertakers. Every livery atable I8 required to have a hesrse to let among its other vehlcles, and that has led to the proprietors of the stables taking up uadertaking. Great difficulty is often encountered in Inducing the masters of eome ships to take bodies on board. This is on account of the saperstition of the sallors, whe would desort If they knew of the presence of a body In the ship. A body that was to go to the West Indles was shipped In a piano box a short time ago. The sailors did not know of the imposi- tlon practiced on them, andsang ‘Heave, ho!" s cheerily when moving the box as if bandling & hogshead of molasses. A body that came from Jamaica was con- cealed In a barrel of ram. The rum actod as a preservative, and the body was in a poerfect state of preservatlon when it arrived here, The ssilors would not have touched the barrel 1f they had known what it ocontsined. Ae it was, they atowed it in the hold with the other Darrels unconscious of its true contents, Probably the largest corpse any under- taker In New York ever handled was that of a man who dled in Hudson strect. He welghed 500 pounds. He had to be measured for a coffin, which was made of chestnut and covered with black cloth. Tt was six foet long, twenty Inches deep and thirty-six inches wide. ‘W. A. Senlor, who burled Harry Mon- tague, the actor (whose real name was Mann), and Mayor Havemeyer, and whose father before him_ burled Henry Clay, Zachary Taylor, and John'jQuincy Adames, said: ““Word has been sent to our establich- ment soveral times to take oharga of the bodles of persons who were not dead. It 1s & grim sort of joke for a man to go to his door in answer to the bell and find there an undertaker who has ccme to embalm him cr put him on ice. It may be sport for the joker, but, as the humor- ist says, It is too grave a subject. A fine- looking, well-cressed man oame Into our rooms one evening and sa ‘Father bas just died, and I want you to go up to house and take charge of the He named a number c¢n avenue and then inquired how much the death notice would cost In the newspapers. I told him. He said: *I only put $5 In my pocket when I came out. I dld not know it woald cost me somuch, Won't you let me have 857 1 willba up at the house as soon as you are.’ L of course said cer tainly.” Mr. Senlor went on with a emile, ‘‘and he left. There was no such number on Fifth avonue, snd the death notice wasnot priated in the newspapers for I bad just enough curiosity to look and see. Undertakers use no prevention to avoid contracting disease, They prefer to handle bodies after eating though. In cases of infectious dissases as an ordin- ary psecavtion, persons who have had the infection are generally engaged to take care of the bodles, There are deaths among the undertakers now and then from lnoculation. One had his hand in- oculated not long ago and died, Ampu- tation has sometimes in caes of inocala- tlon been reatored to save life.
