A fringe of shadows from the sky,
wMe fields wittiaut a flush of green,
Gaunt lifeless branches tossed on l3gh,
A sullen waste, a wintry scene.
The rushing of the swollen brooks
Comes on the wind both sad and cold ;
Ehe birds axe silent l a their nooks,
t h é flow'rs are prisoned 'neath the mould;
The woods that were so green and fair
Have nothing now to make them glad—
Ne musio-flow, no blossom-glow ;
And sometimes Life is just as sad.
Sad heart that feels its youth is past,
Whose days are dull with heavy care J
A lonely lot 'mid strangers cast—
How drear and sad it is to bear !
Or, when a sudden darkness falls
Where lately shone Love's brightest glow,
The shadow of Despair appals
The soul, and lays its courage low.
l i s then we feel that naught can heal
Our aching hearts or soothe their pain.
Pet look on high—the dawn is nigh,
The sun will surely rise again.
A snowdrop starting from its sheath,
Young grasses in the sheltered lane,
And tuned daffodils beneath
The orchard-boughs are green again.
And, ah, the thrushes how they sing i
The skylarks how they soar on high !
New life hath come to everything
Betwixt the joylul earth and sky.
The sunshine warm dispels the storm
From scenes no longer bleak and bare;
'¿'en so hath Life, with all its strife,
Sweet Sprmg-Ji'te 9.ea sons fresh and fair.
' ONE OF I H Ë FAMILY."

CHARLES A. WOOD A CO.,

There were difference of opinion and
bitterness of speech in Dennistoun
Manor House.
The Squire had gone o'it in the morn-ing
with his hat pulled down over his
eyes, had banged the door behind him,
bad kicKed away Topsy, her ladyship'3
Maltese—a fluffy white animal always
under some one's feet—had snubbed
his bailiff wrongfully, and did not apol-ogize,
came home late for breakfast and
rated the butler, and, "When he saw
the Queen, his language was hawful,"
that functionary reported, after taking
in the letters.
Lady Cecilia had a headache, and tea
and toast in bed, and was heard to mur-mur
to her pillow that "dear Reginald's
misfortunes must have affected his
brain."
Miss Cissie, their own fair daughter,
remarked confidentially to her looking-glass,
"Now, my dear, you've two very
silly children to manage. How are
you to persuade them to kiis and be
friends ?"
To go back to the beginning of trcru-
They all came from the London
*od South Wessex Railway, which suc-ceeded,
in spite ot fierce opposition from
the Squire and a few other landowners,
in extending itself across an outlying
fiece of waste land belonging to the
»ennistoun estate, and placing in the
Squire's reluctant hands more ready
money than he had ever before pos-sessed,
He amused himself with it in
his own way—dabbled in shares,bought
and soid, ran up and down to and from
London oftener than he had ever done
i a his life before, rtook the advice of
friends knowing in investments-,-had
six months' intense enjoyment, six
Weeks of growing consternation and
rickness of heart, and a bad quarter of
JMI hour, when he came to confess his
vagaries to the family man of business,
ftbd realize the price he would have to
pay for his game of speculation.
Lady Cecilia behaved admirably.
" I t is not for myself, dear Lady Mal-ta
wdate," she sobbed to her particular
friend and confidant, the great lady of
toe county, "I can face penury, utter
destitution—as it will be-without a
murmur—but my children I Poor Cis-sie
must give up her season in town—
»he has sent away her maid already,and
says she will get her dresses made in
the village. And though we can still
fceep Beggie at Oxford, he must sell all
his horses, and for the future live with-ia
his allowance. People say, 'Why
aet go abroad and retrench V But my
fcusband would be miserable, dragged
•way from all his home interests; and
Sumy it is better to face our troubles
amongst friends who know us and will
not desert us on account of our pov-erty
I"
"Desert you? Noyer I" cried Lady
Mallowdale, with a sympathetic press-ure
of the hand. "What difference
ean mere want of fortune make to us ?
GiflBte shall come to me in town next
May—for one week only ; and I ' l l take
care to keep Gerald well out of her
way." was the muttered sequel.
l ' I knew you'd say so. We've done
all we possibly can. All the horses,
except Eeginald's old cob, are sold ;
the hunters, Cissie's mare, Lady Grrey,
the carriage-horses, my ponies—all are
gone. Only one gardener is left. Souf-flet
has had notice •"
"No !" ejaculated Lady Mallowdale,
In a tone of sincerest commiseration—
then mentally—"I wonder what wages
he got ? I must secure him. Mallow-dale
leads me such a life about the Den-nistoun
dinners!"
"Jones, our faithful old butler* stays;
we shall have a plain cook, a girl from
the village for housework, and a lady-help."
...
"Good nrracious, what's that ? " ask-ed
Lady Mallowdale, who was behind
her generation. "I've read something
in the papers about ladies being serv-ants
; but do you really mean to have
one?"
"Of course I do—just think of the
comfort and the saving I I call it prov-idential,-
my meeting Mrs. Crawshay
that winter, and reading all her letters
t o the papers and speeches ; and i t seems
the yery thing we want. Just think—
a nice well-educated girl, used to good
society, who can take the place of a
great clumsy housemaid, dust one's
china without chipping or cracking, or-der
the dinners for one, andj most like-ly,
show cook how to make all sorts of
delicious little dishes that cost nothing;
do up iny lâce fdr me, make my dresses
and caps, and do all that my maid used
to get twenty-live pounds and all my
last year's dresses for—and at the same
time be a companion and a real friend !
She ean study with Cecilia, play duets
with her—the bass, of course—write
my letters for me, and do a thousand
things besides."
JUady Cecilia stopped, out of breath.
"But did you ever hear of such a
person ? " asked her friend doubtfully,
"Dozens ! Here's a note from ono—
the very thing !"—and Lady Cecilia,
who had talked herself into the best
possible spirits, produced it in triumph.
"Poor thing, an orphan, only anxious
to find a home where she may be of use!
Ada St. Clair—such a pretty name !—
will do housework, all but the rough
work, and act as lady's-maid if required,
and asks only thirty pounds^ and to be
treated as one of the family ; and—
would you believe it ?—Reginald won't
hear of it—says he'll go to Boulogne
sooner than have her in the house, and
won't read or hear a word on the sub-ject
I"
"Dreadful," declared Lady Mallow-dale,
"after a ï your sacrifices 1"
Lady Cecilia, however, on her arrival
at home, found that, after all, she was
to have her, way, Cissie having taken
the Squire in hand and coaxed him into
a state of grumpy acquiescence.
"Ada St. Clair indeed I" he growled.
"Sounds like a young woman in the
Stereoscopic Company's window Bet-ter
get a decent housemaid. Wait till
lieggie comes home ! Your mother'll
wish her far enough then !"
Cissie laughed and argued, sorely
against her own secret inclination.
" I could have dusted the drawing-room,
and made mother's caps and
bonnets,and seen to Topsy and the love-birds,
without having an intrusive fe-male
spoiling our evenings," she
thought ; but she was a good-natured
little body, and f r om the earliest days
of her sensible girlhood had petted and
spoilt her silly little mother more than
was perhaps quite judicious.
" 'One of the family I' Well, Î sup-pose,
that being the case, the correct
thing will be for me to go and meet her
this afternoon." she observed some days
later.
"Rather you than I, P u s s . " said the
Squire.
"Remember, you've promised to be
civil ; and you must find a man and
horsè1® take the wagonette and me to
the station."
Cissie was in gooi at the little
roadside station, and in no dang®: of
mistaking the one lady-passenger who
alighted, a tall slight girl carrying a
Mentone basket, who. with a rustle of
many flounces and a glitter of jet
fringes, swept majestically along the
small platform.
"Miss St. Clair, I suppose?" said Cis-sie.
"I have come to meet you."
The young lady raised her long pale
eyelashes languidly and bowed distantly.
"Have you had a pleasant journey ?"
Miss St. Clair surveyed Cissie with a
pair of keen blue eyes before replying,
noting her weather-stained tweed suit
and rather battered felt hat.
"Thanks," she drawled still more
distantly and languidly. "Is there a
carriage here ?"
"Close by. Can I help you to see
about your luggage ?"
"Thanks—if you'll be so good." She
motioned to a huge pile of dress bas-kets
and "trunks, handed her basket to
Cissie, and swept off slowly towards the
wagonette.
"Takes me for one of the maids, '
said Cissie to herself delightedly,, "and
means to show me my proper place a t
once. What f u n I"
The drive was an almost silent one,
Miss St. Clair receiving Cissie's remarks
with frigid graciousness and making
scant response. As they alighted, the
Squire suddenly appeared.
"Ah, Ciss, come along with me ! I
want you. How do, Miss St. Clair ?
You'll find Lady Cecilia expecting you"
—and he carried off his daughter, leav-ing
Miss St. Clair—eyes and mouth
open, and the aristocratic composure of
her demeanor considerably disturbed—
standing under the portico Btaring after
them.
I t was awkward enough meeting
again at dinner, though Cissie was
good-tempered and Miss St. Clair evi-dently
not troubled with over-sensitive-ness.
There was an undoubted restraint
over the party, and the evening was, by
mutual consent, cut as short as possi-ble.
" I don't like h e r , " said Cissie to her
usual confidant, her looking-glass, that
night. "Her language and her dress
are both too fine. Black tulle and silver
for a quiet dinner ! But she's deep ;
and, though I 'm sure she isn't a lady,
it would be hard work to prove it—and
do no good either."
* * «• •
Three or four weeks passed unevent-fully.
Half of Lady Cecilia's visions
were realized. The interesting Ada
seemed determined to justify her de-scription
of herself. She was up early
to assist Lady Cesilia to dress, and
down in time to make the breakfast, if
Cecilia gave her the chance, which was
seldom. Thé lighter part of the house-work
was done thoroughly and with
magical rapidity, to the bewildered ad
miration of her rustic assistant. Cook
however opposed any invasion of her
domain.
"•She's an interloper, she is ; and I'll
have none of 'em in mv kitchen."
As for the faithful «Tones, he thus de-livered
himself—
"Whatever my opinion may be,ma'am.
I keeps it to myself, and treats her with
the respect due to an 'obby of my la-d
y ' s ."
Nevertheless he sternly declined as-sistance
in plate-cleaning and table-laying,
and received all orders from the
lady-help under protest.
Miss St. Clair was not musical, so the
duet-playing was impracticable ; but
she wrote Lady Cecilia's notes, made
her caps exquisitely, took Topsy and
Mouton, the poodle, out for their daily
airing, and finished off some mighty
performances in crewel work which had
been abandoned in despair by Lady Ce-cilia,
listening the while with the pro-foundest
attention and sympathy to the
good lady's gentle stream of small
talk. In fact, she made herself so in-dispensable
that Cissie felt herself
"crowded o u t " many a time, and had
hard work to combat a rising sense of
injury,
" I t ' s mean of me to the last degree—
just when I ought to fie so glad of any-thing
to make the poor little mamma
happy—nowadays too, when I must be
with papa as much-as possible, to keep
him from moping about; finding fault
with the men, and fretting over the im-provements
which he meant to have
made this year. I do dislike her—more
than ever since Sunday. "Oh, you
wretch !" she exclaimed suddenly to her
pretty pink reflection. "I've found
you out I Last Sunday? Yes, you've
hated her ever since she took your Sun-day-
school class, and Mr. Athelney said
what a help it was to have any one so
well up in the routine, and he carried
home her books for her. You're jeal-ous,
Cissie Dennistoun—jealous of
Herbert Athelney ! As if he cares a
button for you ! And yet—and yet,
when hé said he couldn't bear to see
any one else on my poor mare, and gave
papa, such a fancy price for her, I did
thinK that h e - ÎTevèr mind ; he may
marry Ada if he likes ; and she'll live
at the Vicarage, and perhaps ride past
here on Lady Grey sometimes. "Oh,
dear—oh, dear I There"—with a proud
little toss of the head—"there's my last
moan ; and now to behave like a gen-tleman"—
Cissie's views of her own sex
were not exalted. "She shall have my
class every Sunday morning, when he's
sure to be there, and go, instead of me,
to the Mallowdales' garden-party—he's
asked ; and we'll have him here to lawn
tennis and dinner~4ie offered to teach
her when she said she didn't play ; and
—and—you're beaten, you spiteful
thing I"—and she shook a pretty Httle
fist at her own flushed face in the glas5,
and marched away bed wards with the
step of a conqueror.
* 9 * *
"Why do you never go out with
Ada ?" asked Lady Cecilia plaintively.
"You're very unkind to the poor thing,
Cissie. Every morning she has to go
my errands alone down to the village—
and afternconstoo sometimes. I t doesnt
look as if we really considered her as
one of the family."
"Ada can amuse herself," said Cissie
shortly—Ciss had grown somewhat
sharp and irritable of late. "I saw her
chatting away most happily to the che-mist's
assistant—the one with the red
whiskers—in Love Lane. She puts on
her interesting silence and melancholy
only with her indoor dress." Cissie
stopped as the subject of her remarks
entered, ratber pink and excited.
"Dear Lady Cecilia, such an escape
we havehad ! Poor Mouton—a butcher's
cart—right over his poor dear paw !
Fortunately the young gentleman from
the chemist's was passing, ¿nd told me
what to do. I ran all the way home
with him in my arms—Mouton, I mean
—and have sponged and bandanged
him, and he seems quite recovered."
She paused, breathless, and Cissie
crimsoned with self-reproach. By way
of penance and atonement, she took
the first chance of suggesting that Miss
"¡ft. Clair's lesson in tennis had better
come oil soon.
" W h y n o t t o - m o i l l ^ ?. I know Mr.
Athelney is disengaged; kna can
get the Mayhews and Freddy Braid
—just a nice party for d i n n e r"
Lady Cecilia approved ; Ada acqui-esced
sweetly, and withdrew to arrange
an effective toilette for the occasion.
" I met Medlock to-day," announced
the Siuire the next day at luncheon.
"He's going back to Leicestershire to-morrow,
and taking Athelney with him.
I never knew he was staying at the
Vicarage. He's coming with Athelney
this afternoon, of course. He was com-ing
to c a l l ; but I told him t h a t would
do as well. He's tennis-mad, I believe
—plays splendidly. Another teacher
for you, Miss St. Clair."
"Thanks ; you are very good, " mur-mured
the fair Ada confusedly; "but
I 'm afraid—^so many people—my recent
mourning—you must excuse my appear-i
n g ."
"Nonsense I You went to Mallow-dale.
Don't be s h y !"
"Very good," said Ada sweetly.
But later in the afternoon, when Cis-sie
went to Miss St. Clair's room to an-nounce
the arrival of some of the guests,
she found the shutters closed, a smell
of eau de Cologne, and Ada with a Wet
bandage onher head,"totally prostrate."
Cissie sympathized, and did all she
could to make her comfortable, and-conscience-
freed—enjoyed the rest of
the day thoroughly.
Ada came down pale and extra lan-guid
the next day.
" I am going to try What fresh air will
do," she announced. "No, thanks,Miss
Dennistoun ; I ' d rather go alone."
The walk appeared to have done her
good. She came in so fresh and bright
that the bquire was actually compli-mentary.
"You look another woman I" he ex-claimed.
"By-the-way, is Mouton still
under medical treatment ?~ I ' d have
sworn it was his face I saw looking out
of the chemist's as I passed "
" I was there getting something for
myself," said Ada demurely. "It has
done me so much good."
"Then let's send for Athelney, and
have tea on the lawn and more tennis.
No ; he and Medlock were off by the
early train. Brand then, or somebody
—or I ' l l play you two."
Half an hour later the bquire afid
Cissie were indulging hi some prelim-inary
practice, and Ada, having settled
Lady Cecilia and her crewel-work com-fortably
on a garden-seat, was arrang-ing
a picturesque rustic tea-table under
the shade of a big cedar, when the
Vicar's tall shadow preceded him across
the lawn, accompanying a second
shadow, belonging to a stout hilarious
elderly gentleman in semi-clerical at-tire,
carrying a racket.
"•Ilallo ¡ " shouted the Squire. " N o t
gone y e t ?"
"We missed our train," began Mr.
Athelney.
"He fell asleep over his clothing-club
report—ha, ha 1" broke in Dr. Medlock,
in a voice that shook the evergreens.
"Lady Grey had a cough, and he sat up
all last night with her in'the stable—ha,
ha, ha 1 I saw the balls going from my
bedroom window—ha, ha I And now
I ' v e dragged him here. Awfully hard
work it was,Miss Cissie—ha, ha 1 Why,
Polly—Polly Loveday! You here ?"—
and he faced round suddenly and cut
off Miss St. Clair in a quiet retreat by
the far side of the belt of rhododen-drons.
"How in the world did you
get here ?"
Miss St. Clair faced him for a minute,
first grew red, then pale, then gave a
pert little toss of her head.
" T h a t ' s my affair, Dr. Medlock. I 'm
doing no harm."
"Why, Doctor Medlock, do you know
Miss St. Clair? What is it?"—and
Lady Cecilia struggled to her feet, let-ting
all her crewel-balls patter down
upon Mouton's nose.
"Know her, Lady Cecilia? Why,
I've a letter in my pocket from her mo-ther
I Don't you remember our old
nurse Loveday ? Here it is—
" ' P o l l y ' s gone for a lady-help, and
has cast off ner poor old mother. She
always was a genteel girl, and wanted
to play the lady. She gets twice her old
wages, and does half the work, and sees
the best of company; but why should
she be so secret about it ?"
"Old fool I " muttered Polly unfilially
and emphatically.
She had quite recovered herself by
this time, and stood looking Dr. Med-lock
in the face, with a saucy defiance
that seemed far more natural than her
former languid serenity. The Squire,
as yet uncomprehending, put his arm
around his wife, who Clung to him
"Polly, Polly—to think that you
should have come to this I Our best
Sunday scholar, and such a favorite of
my wife's! Such an interest she always
took in you when you were our house-maid—
and a very good one you were—
I'll say that. But"—the situation seem-ing
to dawn upon the Doctor—"do you
mean to say you've had the audacity to
impose on these good people, you
naughty girl ? Ha, ha-! By Jove,there's
the best of the joke to come! Your
mother says—
" 'There's an honest young man after
her as is able to keep her comfortable;
but I 'm afraid she's having her head
turned by a young clergyman in those
parts who's leading her to think f a r too
much of h i m . '"
"Oh, stop, stop I" broke in Cissie.
Don't be severe upon a woman, Doctor
Medlock. Perhaps she can explain."
"Thank you,Miss Dennistoun ; you're
very good, I 'm sure ; but I 'm happy to
say I want none of your kind excuses,"
Polly interrupted. "It may be a relief
to your mmd to know that I 'm engaged
to be married in a month to a young
man in a genteel way of business, who
intends setting up for himself at Mi-chaelmas
as chemist and druggist."
"And I ' v e taken her to Mallowdale
and introduced her everywhere 1" moan-ed
Lady Cecilia.
"That was part of the bargain," said
the undaunted Polly. " I 'm sure no
one can say I ' v e not done my p a r t ."
The girl was mistress of the situation.
Doctor Medlock and the Squire even
looked at her with a sort of admira-tion.
"You young hussy," said the former,
"what put such a prank into your
head?"
"Beading and observation," was the
reply. "I found that ladies were get-ting
good pay for playing at being serv-ants
; so why should not a servant get
the same for playing at being a lady ?
My last mistress gave me all her cast off
dresses when she married. and, as far
as look goes, I 'm sure I 'm as good as
any lady, and, as for the work, a great
deal better."
The Squire found that the disclosure
was proving too much for Lady Cecilia,
who was making arrangements for a
speedy fit of hysterics.
Cissie and the Vicar were both stand-ing
dumbfounded, blushing like two
peonies. It was evidently time for him
to assert himself.
"Now, my good girl, the best thing
you can do is just to go indoors and
yrite to that good old mother of yours,
an"! say you're going home to her to
stay till. y o u r marriage. You shall
start to-morrow comiijraS>ly, and have
your month's wages."
"Quarter, if you please. I am not a
domestic servant."
"Quarter then; and you'll, hold your
tongue like a sensible girl, not only for
our sakes, but your own and your che-mist's—
eh ? " Polly nodded. "Now
be off and pack up I"
The Viear and Doctor Medlock her«
discreetly bade farewell.
"Now cheer up, Cecilia," said the
Squire, turning to tha;t lady; "there's
no harm done. No one will ever hear
more of it. It might have been worse
if Reggie had been at home. He's had
a providential ©scape, I say."
"Oh, Keglnald, Reginald, I never will
have my own way again as long as I
live !" cried his wife penitently.
The Squire laughed.
"Well, well, we've both made some
mistakes, and I wish mine were as easily
forgotten as yours, my dear."
He picked up the crewels m d , with a
resonant kiss, replaced Lady Cecilia in
her basket-chair.
Cissie, smiling and blushing, was busy
at her table under the cedar tree making
a pleasant suggestive clinking with her
cups and saucers.
Mouton composed himself anew to
repose, the rooks overhead cawed peace-fully
as they sailed homewards, and the
setting sun sank on the last day of dis-cord
at Dennistoun.
Pashas and Boss.
Sorse c a r s in Turkey.
There are no sidewalks in Galata,
and everybody goes in the streets. As
a consequence, the first week's fatali-iPJ
.
four Armenians, three Turks, a Nu-ties
of the horse car company included
bian, and a Greek, ehildren and dogs
not counted. Busimess was equally
good the second week; but the third,
they had the misfortune to include a
Pasha. It was a fetmgksg piece of bus-iness,
for they did not kill the Pasha;
they only mangled him. And when he
got around again he put in his whole
time working for an injunction against
the road. I t was shown in evidence
that the company did not want the
Pasha or the other people killed^ that
they had been at considerable expense
to dispose of them; and further, that
it had rung its bells, as bv law required
and so was not responsible for the peo-ple
who got in the way. The Pasha
filed his answer, and said that he had
heard "the bell; that any one not deaf
could not help hearing i t ; but that it
was not his tell, and he could hot be
expected to look out for every slave
that rang one in 'the public streets. If
the slaves were to be bell sheep for t h e
Pashas he thought it was time for the
latter to resign. It was a very pretty
quarrel, and occupied a good deal of
Government time. But finally a com-promise
was reached and an arrange-ment
adopted which has continued in
use until the present time. The speed
of the car was not slackened nor i ts
right of the way denied. But in con-sideration
of the crowded state of the
thoroughfares and the impossibility of
making the populace t u r n Out or mind
the bells the company was handicapped
with outrunners. Each car was pro-vided
with a negro, armed with a club
whip and tim horn, whose business it
was to r un some fiften paces ahead on
the track blowing his hom. They are
pieturesque fellows, these outrunners,
in their red fezes and green shirts, that
are" open nearly to the waist.
The dogs are a blessing to the Turks,
If a Mohammedan gets very drunk and
wants to r un amuck and is a f r a 'd to go
out and kill a man for fear of the after
consequence, when he gets to feeling,,
real nice and murderous he takes his
knife and goes into the streets and
sticks it recklessly into the first dog he
meets. If he is real murderous he kills
two, and so great is the respect for the
canines that he gets more reputation as
a "bad man" out of this proceeding
than if he had killed four or five mere
Mohammedans. A pasha ranks nearly
ip to a dog in point of secular respect,
mt the dog holds over him in religions
¿anctity. The dog has the right of way
in the public streets, and I have seen a
heavy pack train turn aside for one ly-ing
asleep on the cobbles. So fully
assured are they of their social position
that they have lost the sensitiveness
one' expects from the race in civiliza-tion.
One day in the fish-market a
greasy, yellow fellow walked into a stall
and seleeted a good sized fish while the
vender's back was turned, hauled it
down and began licking it preparatory
to making a meal. A Turk never
allows his religion to drop into mat-ters
of loss and gain, and the owner of
the fisli sacrilegiously interfered with a
club. A civilized dog would have taken
the hint and departed, but this canine
saint had too much respect for his cloth.
Relying on his sanetity, at the first blow
he sat down on the pavement b? the
fish and lifted up his hand to heaven in
a howl. He shivered and squirmed a,nd
wrinkled his skin as the blows grew
more persuasive, but it was some min-utes
before he was convinced that the
affair was not a joke and that he really
was not wanted. It is the foreigners
who abuse them most. I kicked one so
hard behind that he tilted clear over
and struck on his nose. He did not
pay any attention or make a sound.
He just tilted back into his old position
and went on sunning himself without
».ven looking around.
Hots t h e story Grew.
l i e lowest name prated oa'che stone
4»jo in the doorway of a Court street
E l d i n g , Boston is only an inch or two
the threshold. To add to the
«Sfefcalty which may be experienced by
a* M'isirfect vision none of the names
on the Mt are in very large letters. A
near-sigMed man was observed rubbing
his nose alang this slab in a downward
direction. As he settled lower and low-er,
absorbed fai his inspection, two or
three people stopped to look at him. In
order to get t o the last name he Was
obliged substantially to lie down in the
doorway. By this time the two men
had- increased to Bvek and five was
enough t o do the business. When the
near-sighted man had got on his; feet
again there was a erowd. The crowd,
or rather the inner ring oi & looked at
the man with curiosity and JAserest, and
the man returned it with ditfe^st and
annoyance.
"What's the matter?" he »eked,
sharply.. Nobody answered him.
" I understand there's a man drtsS^sr
fainted in the doorway."
The. officer elbowed his way throuiS-the
gathering throng. "Where is h e r
he demanded again. The near-sighted
man had passed on. The drunken man
was nowhere to be seen. No two people
told the same story. The officer ended
by clearing the sidewalk. But pulsations
of the original excitement continued to
throb about that doorway for hours.
Everybody knew there had been a row,
but nobody agreed as to the cause. A
v,hief had been arrested, a man had been
_ obbed, a street fight had taken place.
Late in the afternoon one ragged ur-ohin
was explaining to another in front
|of that awful theatre of operations how
this was the place where " t h e big codger
had hit the little codger and driv his
whole front teeth down his neck." The
awful mystery that hangs about most
street excitements hung about this one
all day.

Advice to Sly Son.
Did you ever hunt for something you
didn't want to find? asks Baroette?
People frequently do. No man wants
to find a horizontal collar button, nor
does the gentlewoman who carefully and
anxiously looks under the bed every
niSht for a man, really went to find t h e
man. She believes there is one there,
but She would be greatly disappointed
and surprised to find him. Never look
for things you do not want to find, my
son. I t is hard enough to find t he
things you want. If you-do not want
to find faults in your friends, do not look
for them. If you do not want to find
your enemies, do not hunt for them.
They will hunt for you, my son. A n d
what is worse, they will find you, too.
I have known men who passed all
their lives hunting for things which no-body
wished to have discovered and
which only made the finder miserable..
There are men who can't smell a helio-trope
held at their lips, but have a nose
for carrion that would be a fortune t o
some poor struggling buzza.rd. He
never looks for a good point about any
man. He linds the spots on the sun,
and sees hot one ray of its brightness.
A clear running spring brook gives him
the hydrophobia, and a mud puddle is a
reviving Turkish bath to his mean little
soul. If he could go to heaven, which,
praised be all goodness, he never can, he
would be of all men most miserable, be-cause
he could find no mud to throw at
the angels.

Clianged Hands.
At the beginning of the oil excite-ment
in Pennsylvania a yery religious
old farmer who owned forty acres m the
center of the " b e l t " had offers for his
farm until he couldn't sleep nights.
They began at $4,000 and went up to
0,0G0, but to each and every would bs
purchaser the old man steadily replied:
" I f the Lord has put coal-ila.under
my farm it isn't for me to dispute his
will."
One day however the agent of a syn-dicate
came along and asked what figure
the old man would set on his acres;
" I ' v e bin offered $50,000."
" Y e s ."
"I've bin saying as how the Lord put
the ile there for some purpose of his own.
"Exactly."
"Well, now, if you could convince
me that about one barrel in ten of the
ile f r om this f a rm would be used for
people to read their bibles by I reckon
I ' d set my figures at about $60,000."
I n less than three hours the farm
changed hands.
