When a Dream Comes True.
by CARL SPENCER.

l hold your hand in mine, my darling, darling;
look within your eyes;
ssk you idle questions, only daring
To hear your low replies.
And AFT the while the gmmer Of a wonder
A moon-Ht rack Of cloud
Fits DER my silent heaven Of Joy, while under
Its stars my soul is bowed.
I think how Oft the future will require it.
"Ah, how then did it seem -
Tomorrow and tomorrow viii desire il
yainly AZ any dream.
what il il more? In dreams the eyes are holden 2
They know not near from far;
I wake with outsrread arms, shadow folding
And such liies visions are.
II H. but touch aud sight little palmer,
voice that telling, hides;
doubt, SO heart, art thou 80 much gamer?
For something still divides"
o hro Of God living, winged creature
That in this clay doth rise,
How canst thou warm TO thy diyiucr nature
These lips and hands and eyes?
Too eager quest, that hastest to their meeting,
Hoping desire to fill.
Thou standest half abashed in tenderest greeting,
Yet finding welcome chill.
With stinted bread the lifelong hunger staying,
With fasting visions blessed,
With longing that makes life perpetual praying,
stranger her confessed.
II yet, dearest heart, the world grows dearer,
Because It's sweet 10 stand
while that which never has enough cries, Nearer,
one moment hand to hand
what will il be when every barrier breaking
Lets heart to heart come through?
VIII heaven leave ono corner for an aching
when tho long dream comes true?

The Boy who Wanted TO Blow the
Organ.

A recent number of the Lawrence
American says:
There is good little boy in Lawrence
who had long been fired with an am
bition to blow the church organ on
Sunday. The regular blower wasn't
there last Sunday, and the organist put
in the good boy as a substitute.
He instructed him infinitely how he
should pump air into the bellows. He
must be careful and not work the
handle by jerks, and on no account
must he allow the indicator, which
showed the amount of air in the bel
lows, to rise above a certain point.
When it started up the boy must
pump until it came down to the mark
again, and there he must keep it. The
organist went through the voluntary all
right the boy was faithful. The choir
sang the first hymn no trouble. An
other hymn; the boy was there and the
blowing all straight The minister
read his text and proceeded with his
sermon.
After while the organist thought he
heard something behind the organ He
listened and was very sure the pump
was going. The minister preached on,
and an occasional sound behind the
organ indicated that the boy was at his
post The organist couldn't reach him,
and so the boy kept pumping.
lie pumped through the sermon, the
last hymn, the final prayer, and the
benediction. The organist played
while the congregation retired, and
then climbed around to look at his boy.
He was there all right-pumping.
He had been there keeping the bel
lows-handle going for an hour and a
half. When the bellows leaked little
and the Indicator rose, he pumped till
it came back. He said his arms ached
a little, but he'd come next Sunday il
the man wanted him.

Effects Of Ammonia ON WhOOping
Cough.

A writer in the Medical Journal, Lon
don, states that in case of whooping
cough in the last stage-that is after
the third week-he has had one ounce
of the strongest liquid ammonia put
into gallon of water in an open pan,
and the steam kept up by means of hall
brick made red hot throughout, and
put into the boiling water containing
the ammonia, the pan being placed in
the middle of n room, into which the
patients were brought as the ammonia
steam was passing off. The method,
he says, was used in the evening, before
bedtime, and it proved so eflicacious in
abating the spasmodic attack, and af-
ter three or four days terminating the
malady. as to establish, beyond doubt,
the value of this mode of inhaling am
monia as a therapeutic agent in tran

A Sell. Not a Sale.

Amiable shopkeepers deserve to be
canonized. Here Is an illustration of
the trials to which they are constantly
subjected. One midsummer day, when
Eolus slept, and the thermometer stood
in the nineties, a lady entered store
not thousand miles off, and inquired
for parasols. The obliging proprietor
spread out before her samples of a
large and varied stock. "Have you
any of this shade size larger ?" said
the lady. The size was produced. 81

smaller. The size smaller was pre-
scented. "Have you any of this size a
lighter shade of blue ?" The required
shade was brought out. Haven't you
any of this kind with crooked han
dle?" Tho shade with the crooked
handle appeared. "Have you any with
the crooked handle not quite so heavy?''
said the lady, and so continued her in
quiries for every conceivable size, shade
and weight possible in the line of par
asols. After nearly an hour had been
consumed, the fair shopper gathered
up her handkerchief and gloves, and
moved for the door. Cant / sell you
a parasol ?" inquired the exhausted pro
prietor. 80 dear, no." replied the
lady, 81 was merely inquiring the pri-
