The Stranger Guesl.

La little post town among the High
lands of Scotland far away from any great
city there lived few years ago a woman
much respected and well beloved, though
of lowly birth and humble fortune-one
Mrs Jean Anderson. She had been left
a widow with one son the youngest aud
last Of seven promising children She was
poor and her industry and economy were
taxed to the utmost TO keep herself and
her son, who was a fine clever lad and TO
give him the education he So ardently
desired Al the early age of sixteen
Malcom Anderson resolved TO seek his
fortune i'll the wide world, and became 4
sailor He made several voyage 10 India
and China, and always, like the good DO,
he was, brought home some useful present
to his mother, 10 whom he also gave a
large portion of his earnings.
But he never liked seainring life,
though he grew strong and sialwart in il ;
and when about 70 he obtained humble
position IN large mercantile house in
Calcutta, where, being shrewd, enterpris-
my anu HOucstt llhc HOst VI MS country %
men, he gradually rose to 4 place of trust
and importance, and finally TO a partner
ship As his fortune improved his mothers
circumstances were made much easier
He remitted money enough to her to
secure her the cid cottage home, repaired
and enlarged, with garden and lawn
and placed at her command annually,
a sum sufficient to meet all her wants and
to pay the wages of faithful servant or
companion for the brisk, independent
old lady stoutly refused to be served by
any one
Eptangled in business cares, Mr., An
derson never found time and freedom for
the long voyage and visit home till at
last failing health and the necessity OF
educating his children, compelled him to
abruptly wind up his affairs and return
to Scotland He was then a man some
what over forty, but looking far older
than his years, showing all the usual i'll
effects Of the trying climate of India,

2OrW,
To MY Friend Nell.


on do not soon forget, dear,
The happy hours we have passed,
In the dawn of youth together
Too happy were they to last
When bright dreams of the future
Mingled their coors rare,
In veil of shadowy lightness,
And our names were written there,
Think of me often now, dear
That we're parted, it may be for aye,
Remember me in your dreams at night,
Remember me when you pray
You. mid the hum of busy life,
And l, mid the forests gloom,
You, mid the world of busy strife,
And l, mid the flowerets bloom.
Other friends you will find, dear,
Perhaps as faithful and true,
As the one to whom you said farewell,
But darling, such friends are few;
They will speak Of love they feel not,
a friendship they cannot know,
Turn from such tribes away dear
Lest your heart should careless grow.
There's anotheryou must not forget dear,
Who loved YOU truly and well,
1 know lie has not forgotten,
know that he still loves Moll.
Then think OF him sometimes VIII you7 ?
And the days OF "Auld Lang Syne,"
when we all were happy together,
Through the long bright summer time.
Aud now must bid you adieu, dear,
Hoping lhcsc lines of love,
Win finger long in your memory,
And my own unchanged heart prove.
And now, may "Our Father bless you,
Ana grant in His mcrciful love,
That Nou, ana |, and our dear ones,
May meet in Heaven above.

A Ciergyma - Joke

was spending the night in hotel in
Freeport, Ill., After breakfast | went in
to the sitting room, where | met a pleas
ant, chatty, good-humored traveller who
like myself, was waiting for the morning
train from Galcna. We conversed freely
and pleasantly on different topics, until
seeing two young ladies meet in the street
just about the time the train was approach
ing the station.
Come" said he taking up his carpet
bag, " since We are on 80 sweet subject,
let us have practical application. IN
make proposition to you. | will agree
to kiss the most beautiful lady in the cars
from Galena, you being the judge, if you
will kiss the the next prettiest, ! being
the judge.
This proposition staggered me little and
| could hardly tell whether he was in
earnest or fun; but as he would be as deeply
it as could be, agreed, provided he
would do the first kissing, though my
heart failed somewhat when | saw his jet
black eyes fairly dance with daring.
Yes" said he, "Ill try ii first. You
take the back car, and 20 in from the
front end where you can see the faces of
the ladies,and stand by the one you think
the handsomest, and then | will come in
from behind and kiss her."
! had hardly stepped inside the ears
when | saw at the first glance one Of the
loveliest looking women my eyes ever fell
upon 4 beautiful blonde, with auburn
hair, and bright, sunny face full Of love
and sweetness, and a- radiant and glowing
AS the morning. Any further search
was totally unnecessary. Immediately
took my stand in the aisle by her side.
She was looking out of the window earn
estly,a if expecting some one. The back
door of the ear opened and in stepped my
hotel friend. pointed my finger at her,
little dreaming that he would carry out
his pledge, and you may imagine my hor.

quickly behind her,and STOPPING over her,

Of COOLIES" than the Chinese.
VOICE FOB REPEAL.
The New York Times is in favor OF repeating
or modifying the act Of Congress prohibiting
the coolie trade, so as 10 offer no impediment
to the importation of Chinese labor:
The editor assumes that "there is no longer
any doubt Of the great value and economy Of
Chinese coolies as agricultural laborcrs; they
have been tested as common laborers on vari-
ous public improvements in the West, and
hive been found more economical than others;
but they have not proved to be available as
skilled laborers. There is no doubt that the
Pacific coast needs laborers, and that Asia will
most probably supply that demand for many
years to come. The conditions, in an industrial
sense, are, therefore, somewhat changed from
what they we're when the law was passed, and
favor it's modification. The conditions, politl-
caliy aud socially, are also materially altered,
and these also favor the modifca Jon Of the
law. To prohibit the coolie trade entirely is to
prohibit the immigration Of the Chinese. The
coolies are too poor to immigrate without
help; their government will not send them,
and hence those in need Of their labor will
have to supply the means Of transportation.
