fixed zpon her. With Il sudden i'm
pGlse, she swept The keys, and then,
her tones, full of impas stoned feeling
sang that exquisite gem of German
/ music:
"Oh, take me to Thy bcart again"
As she paused. hush fell around
! her. and Leon turned away, and
walked slowly Up tho room.
Had she failed;
. II was late before size saw her
[ husbands face again, and then its
pallOr startled her. Some chord in
her own heart seemed TO respond to
! its emotion. Was this caused
/ by love or hatc2
Oh, the long hours, as IL seemed
to her, before the husband and wife
were at homo, As usual, Elise was
going up stairs with q cold good
night, expecting him 10 turn into
the library; but he put his arm
around her and drew her gently in
to the library, too.
One long, long look, he gave into
her face, and then lie spoke.
'Elise, forgive me,'
My husband - was the trcmu-
lous reply; for heart answered TO
heart.
"Oh, Elise, l sec all my baseness.
.trUs; me, love me, for my whole
heart is yours"
Only tender caresscs for answer:
she did not fear TO kiss him now.
"But, EIise, how came you never
to sing to me ?"
''YOu never asked me to-"
Il had no idea you sung like
this"
"After papa's death the piano was
kept closed, you know, and you
you never since that asked me to
open it."
.You timid, self-depreciatiug
child! Once more, my darling wife,
forgive meu'
''And-yOu-dOn't care more for
Miss Lewis than for me, LeOH?'
came the still timid response.
"Miss Lewis, No, that 1 certainly
do not, Elise. Be at ease, my love.
Miss Lewis shall never trouble YOU
or me again"
y new era opened for Leon Hunt
ingdOB. Slowly the crust of selfishnes
melted before the sun of his wife's
noble impulses. The great brain
began to work for higher aims. and
as, in time, PRAYER was 4 guiding
power, so the hearts of both, en-
nobled and widened, sought larger
fields for useful cxertion, grander
scope for the talent and energy.
And the heart that would have
crcpt away to bleed to death with
its own bitter anguish, was made
happy by proud trust and pride in a
husbands talents, the ever present
JOY of a husbands love.
"But for YOU" said Elise to her
aunt, years later, "but for you
should be a lonely, forsaken, seclu-
ded wife, instead of what l am.
shall thank you, dear Aunt Caro-
line, forever and forever"

out she seemed to remember somehow
that she had forgotten to finish foot

who was only seventy four wears OF
age, so she came TO again aHd as win

Poor old soul, she was so lean that the

The Complaint of the People.

when the people complain said
a wise man, 'the people are always
right The long suffering of the
poor under the iniquities Of fortune
is q phenomenon which, as long as
it lasts, shows that the spring of
all the virtues which have at any
time done honor to humanity is
still flowing among US. Cold, hun
ger, nakedness-they bear them all
with premature patience. Even IN
Justice they endure till it becomes
insolent. So long rs masters con-
descend TO be courteous, the druid
ges Of society accept their inferior
ity, and honor aud respect those
whom providence seems to have set
over them. Only when the human
relations are at an end, when they
find themselves treated IS if they
were made of other clay, as if they
we're machines TO extract wealth
from the soil, and were rewarded
sufficiently in being permitted to
exist-only then they begin TO ask
the meaning Of the word gentle
man, and for what purpose the lord
and lady are robed in silks, and
housed in palaces, whilo the peas
ant does the work, shivers in soil
ed fustian, and is worse lodged
than his employers cattle.

Come, boys, ] have something TO tell you;
Come here, l would whisper il low;

They're wealthy IN treasure, no doubt,
But, ali there's gold m tho farm, boys,
IL only you'll shovel it out.

The goods arc first high and then low;
Better risk the old farm awhile longer
Don't be in hurry TO 80.
The great busy West has inducements.
And 50 has the business mart
And wealth is not made in a day, boys;
Don't be in hurry 10 start.
The banker and broker are wealthy,
Aud take in their thousands or 50;
All. think Of their frauds and dcccPuou~,
Don't be in u hurry to go.
The farm is the safest and surcs;;
The orchards are loade'l to-day;
You are free rs the air Of the mountain,
And monarch Of all you survey.
But stay on the farm awhile longer,
Though profits come IN rather slow,
Remember you've nothing to risi, boy;

ABOUT THE LADIES.

The mother Of a Danbury g,rl
would not let horsmarry a condnc-
tor because she didn't want her
doors slammed of.
The wife Of a rooler being asked
if she was not afraid 10 have her
husband exposed to such danger,
trustfully replied, 80, he's insured.
The moro woman's waist is
shaped like an hour-glass, the
quicker the sands Of her life iu
out.
Visitor TO mamma: Il have some
sad news to tell you, my dear; your

Mrs. Law, OF Vermont, called
her husband a liar eight years ago,
and he has not spoken to her since,
though remaining 10 the house.
Dresses are now looped TO resem-
bic drapory, with the sides cut a
way, and very long front and back
brcadths.
Marie Seobach educated her hus-
band, Niemann, the German tenor,
until he thought his accomplish
ments wasted on her, and married
some one else.
Il thought you were born on the
1st of April, said husband to his
lovely wife, who had mentioned
the 2lst as her birthday. Most
people would think so, from the
choice l made of a husband, she
replied.
The daughter of Sioux chief
has appeared upon the operate
stage in San Francisco. Her voice
is said to be cross between the
shrek of a panther and the fog
whistle of steamboat.
A Main street woman doesn't
have any trouble with her husband.
When he gets on a tantrum, and
she wants to be rid Of him SO as to
have the house TO herself, she
merely observes that there are
few skeins Of yarn TO hold, and
steps out of the room TO get them.
Long before she returns the fright
ened victim is fleeing up the street.

A beautiful dress was worn by Z
bride in New York last week,
which is said to have been made by
Worth, at an expense of $4,000 in
gold. The material was white cor
ded silk. The skirt was long and
full, and bound on the bottom with
white velvet, embroidered with
white floss to represent a fine vine
of orange blossoms, and the waist
was ornameuted in a similar style.
Over this was worn 4 complete
dress of white tulle, also cmbroi-
dered with white floss. The dress
is said TO have been a marvel Of
tasteand style.
