'RuU-mi whom the enshadwiug purple life
' Wfe'iicvef ealled liim Phillip, al-
tlKiagli lluit was his name. We
just called hi in "Pet'' and "Bose-
bjid" aud **l-fecious" and '-Baby,"
or any other (sweet diininntivey*jha'j-
«ur foitd aut^'^i/ieliiilia lWe'*ior him*
pi-oi-rtlited, and he answered to
them with a sweet trembling of
,Jiis baby lips, aud a questioning
look on his beautiful serious face.
He was still a baby, with heaven's
blue iu his limpid eyes, aud bear-
en's sunshine on his golden hair,
when one'day a rap came to my
door, and there stood a woman
without who was swarthy with the
sun of Egyptian centuries, tall,
stroag, sinewy, with coarse black
hair aud tawny skin, a woman
shunned and feared as a sorceress
—a gypsy fortune-teller and vagrant.
I was about to shut the door in
baste and exclude her unwelcome
face and form, when the baby gave
a little cry as of recognition and
beld oat his tiny, dimpled hands
witb a caressing motion to the
strange, weird woman.
And she—her whole face was
transfigured with that look of
mother-love, wlii-jh comes from a
heart bereft of its young. Tears
were in tbe fierce black eyes. She
devoured my child with her burning glance, and I—well I pitied
her and bade her come in.
Then the baby laughed and
cooed and patted her with bis precious hands, and laid his golden
head on ber hard breast, and while
I watched her narrowly, jealously,
as I trod the hospitable round of
kitchen and sitting room, he fell
asleep in her lean, dark arms, with
a sweet smile on bis contented
face.
O, strange democracy of a child's
nature! As she laid him down his
arms sought her neck; he would
have nestled again on her alien
breast.   She held one liftltl telid

in hers, and he smiled in bin sleep.
I fed the woman aud clothed her
tor baby's sake, bat then I bade
her begone. She wanted to stay,
to work for me; assured me she
was wise In woman's ways; oould

I could not breathe the same air
wit.i that Egyptian sorceress, and I
sent biff away.
But b^'ore she went she leaned
over the baby, took his little, soft
hand, relaxeci*iii.sleep,and spread it
open in her dark'-w4t_e£gd palm.
where it lay like a white roseleat'*.
Then the weird woman looked at
me. "Tou leetle babe, I tM you
leetle babe fahchu ue,propah good?"
"No !*no 1" I cried, hastily. "I will
not hare my baby's fortune told, at
least net by—you."' The woman-
was smiling to herself; the babv
smiled, too, and nestled his. hand
iu hers. I hated her aud longed
to thrust ber away. "So leetle,"
she murmured, vaguely, "So leetle
lines in leetel bebe's ban'! leetel
short line, but so good. Missee, I
tal you leetel bebe's past 1"
" Ton tell his past?" I answered
scornfully; "his past is m heaven."
"Ta, ya; eet is true, Missee—
Heaven —my bebe there too!"
I wanted to cry "It is not!" and
snatch my baby from ber: but there
was something in ber weired face
that-checked me.
"I tal this leetel bebe's fuchahf"
she asked.
I looked at him .my beautiful
boy; his future! I had trodden that
path for him over and over again.
Philip, my King!
"A. wreath, not of gold but of palm one day
Philip, my King."
I said briefly: "Tes, yes; tell me."
"It ess not mooch," she answered
in low and solemn tones—tricks of
her trade, I believed then. "He ess
a leetel kingling; here ess a lifeline, pifcty han', an' on both ends
life-line, eet ess—Heaven. He leetel
kingling, an have a crown ib

She went away reluctantly, and
keeping her eyes upon Mra t^tij the,
■
door elosed, and wheu be awakened he looked around with a little
grieved cry, and fretted and was
impatient for something that was
gone.
I have only a few words more to
say, aud that is to mothers. Never let any weird woman tell your
childs fortune. There is sueh a
thing as the evil eye, and it envies
all happiness and prosperity, and
casts its baleful glance on those
whom it would injure, and they
lade, wither unto death. My baby pined from tbe hour that woman left him, and wben the wood

Fickle   Apprentices.
Fifteen years "ago, and even as
late as tea years ago, wan the ons-
tom when a boy hired asan apprentice to learn a trade, he immediately entered into a contract, {endorsed by father or guardian) with his
future employer to serve an apprenticeship of three years. So
much of their earnings were to be
deducted from the -whole amount
and wed-ited to them.- This answered as seenrity, that the apprentice would serve three years.
If at any time before his apprenticeship expired he would resign
his position, that money which had
been deducted would be frirfeifed
by the apprentice. At this time iu
life things have greatly ohauged.
The apprentice secures employment, works a week or two, becomes boss in a month, (m his
mind) and in less than six mouths
conceits that the factory or office
in.which he is employed weuld
sink and utterly fail if he would
suddenly leave it. Wbffe such notions fill his mind, he   becomes
bene-df***** we are informed. He purposes toN^**3^sJor* tOHi and join .his

Nearly all of Mt. Union's citizens who

like tbe maxim reversed.
The body of the late Henry Querry,
of Huntingdon, was interred in the Odd

J. F. Bathurst and family left this
place on Monday for Johnstown   where

active church  worker and  an  official'

He*will be  greatly  missed.    The  best
wishes ot our people for him jn his new
home go with him.
Wm. Fultz is engaged in laying quite
a number of brick pavements in town.'
The council has recently decided that

work has commenced. We hope to see
it continued until all our walks ar*
