Twining the sweet rose vine.
Said l "There is one bright rose / see
That fain would keep as NINE"
IN toss you your choice" she gayly said,
The rose leaves fluttering DER her head. q
"NIy rose,' said /, 'is the largest there,
And if that one you refuse
The sweetest, brightest, best of all
None other will choose"
Come gather your rose yourself" said she,
Turning her blu hing face from me.
Gladly did Der bidding then,
And ella ping her hand in mine, ess,.-s.
Gathered my rose all close to me 5 81.

In this unique series of papers, now appearing
in SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY, Mr.. Warner a,i-
thor of MY Summer in Garden, . is doing his
best work. Here we have-in a pleasant fiction
OF talking group in front of an oId-fashioned
country baek.log-p hilosophic suggestion, sar-
casm that smiles, not sneers, bright bits of de-
scription, social out-looks-and, enlivening all, a
fresh. crisp, yet jnicy' and delicious humor.
BACKLOG STUDIES have been quickly APP
preciated by the press. The New York Times
says that these sketches, "for light, airy, but
genuine delineations of character, have rarely
been surpassed by any writer OF the present
day." The Boston Transcript says that .for
delieacy OF tonch, quaint sentiment and quiet
humor, BACKLOG STUDIES are the best of
things in their way The Nation thinks that
BACKLOG STUDIES No, lit ''renews and
increases the evidence given in his previous pei
formances that we have in him humorlst of
real merit" Writing of one of these papers,
the N. Y. Mail says it is the ''best thing he has
written, and the best thing in it's way any
American or English magazine has had for many
day. and the Boston Commercial Bulletin
says: 'BACKL0G STUDIES constitute a de-
eided hit in magazine literature" Another of
these delightful papers will appear in the April
number of SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY, which
will be for sale by all booksellers and newsdeal-
ers. VI year, SO cents a number. ~ 1900

Of the japanese guests who have been
residing in New York at the st. Mich
olas Hotel, six started yesterday for
Chicago 10 meet the Imperial Embassy
and to await their arrival in that city.
The Weather.
A northeastern storm OF snow and
wind set in about four o clock yesterday
morning, continuing till late hour in
the evening, when it changed to sleet
and hail, and only ceased this morning.
It was the most severe storm in all
respects we have had this winter. The
snow was several inches deep in the
streets and travel was seriously impeded.
Owing to the violence of the storm
there was only one arrival from sea by
way of Sandy Hook yesterday. The
ice in the harbor is quite heavy, render
ing navigation by the ferry and other
vessels dangerous. The outward bound
steamers were also detained by the
storm.
About seven o'clock this evening a
very fine display OF
Aurora Borealis
was seen. One part OF the sky was
covered with a large sheet Of red as if
from the reflection OF great fire, while
in other parts streaks and sheets Of
light blue were visible. The
phenomena lasted half an hour, and
was one OF the grandest witnessed for
some time past.
