An Ant Publ.

The New York correspondent of the
Cleveland Herald tells how q poor
young mar of that city came TO own
lots on Staten Island.
Two years ago hotel keeper, we'll
known throughout this country, OPEN
ed an elegant hotel at one of the most
trequented Summer resorts. he want
cd clerk. Application for the posi-
tlon was made by q young man, a fine
looking fellow who confessed to being
very poor. If you would share nv
ralny-day reflections you must not lose
sight of the fact-that he was indeed
dreadfully poor.
Mr.. - did not think less of him
because of his poverty, though after
ward he had occasion to think of it as
an existing fact at the time he was en-
ployed. For he did employ him and
proceeded to instruct him in regard to
his duties. The burden of the instruc-
tions related to the bills, and were rath-
er singular. He told the poor young
man that when he made out bill for q
party he should make it appropriate
which meant in harmony with their
style and appearance, number of trunks,
amount OF luggage generally, diamonds
and SO on, and above all, it should have
no connection with what they have &C.
tually got in the way of extras, or any,
thing. He informed the poor young
man that people generally who stopped
at his house did not notice bill of
items" "Did he comprehend 2"
He thought he did-and time proved
that he did.
The hotel Aourishedmeanwhile. The
elite patronized it-"people, you
know" with o loyal contempt for
"items."
Near the close of this last season a
gentleman from New York stepped into
the Office OF the c. Hotel and asked
the proprietor for the Clerk, this poor
young man. Mr.. L. told him he
was out, would be in presently. Would
he wait : "Well, yes, "said the stran.
ger; IL am anxious to see B. (the
c]erk); am negotiating with him for q
fine property over on Staten Island.
"Oh, then it can't be B. YOU
want to see. He hasn't any properly"
Mr.. l. politely explained.
eyes, it is B." said the stranger.
"You have clerk by that name haven't
you2"
Yes" said the poor young mans
employer confidently, "but he is poor;
has nothing; came to me very poor,
two years ago. You can wait and see
him, of course, but I do assure you,
you have made a mistake"
At this moment B. came in, walk
cd up to the stranger at once, and shook
hands.
MIR. L. spoke up, "Here B,
this gentleman called to see you, he
says, about some property you own on
Staten Island. You haven't any prop
srty there, have you2"

man, modest, though unembarrassed.
How does that happen9" question
ed Mr.. d.. Didn't you come here
owning nothing poor9'
The poor young man Strengthened
up with the air of an honest man. dis
charging sacred duty, and " thus he
did say:"
Yes, sir ;; came into your employ
poor. You instructed me to swindle
and cheat our guests. My holding my
position, depended on my following
instructions. I did follow them, and I
put q share of the results in my own
pocket. To-day, I am comparatively
rich, and own that property this gentle
man wished to buy. Now, what can
You do with me2 should really like

BY CELIA THAXTR,

She ID 70 fair, I thought, 20 dear and fair!
Ms,denly beautiful from head to feet,
With pensive profile delicate and sweet,
And Titian's color in her sunny hair.
So fair, thought, rejoicing even to note
The little flexible, transparent wrist,
The purple of the gold-claspcd amethyst
That glittered At her white and slender throat
The tiny ear, curled like rosy shell;
The gentle splendor Of the wide brown eyes,
Deep, lustrous, tender, clear ~ morning
skies:
Tho full, sad lips,-the voice that like bell
Rang thrilling with music sweet and wild,
High, airy-pure as fluting Of the fays,
Or bird-notes in the early summer days,
And joyous ~ the laughter OF . child.
Dearest, has heaven aught to give thee moro7
Thought, the while l watched her changing
face,
Heard her fine tones and marked her ges-
ture's grace
Yea, one more gift is left, all gifts before.
We 60 our separate ways ON Garth, and pain,
Gods shaping chiscl, waits us as the rest,
With noblcr charm thy beauty to invest,
And make thee lovelier ere we meet again.
